Official Paper of Tho County.

As the RECORD cirtilates in alI
sections of EmmOns County, md as
every dollar expended for goods by
her citizens must of necessity go to
Bismarck, the columns of this pr per
are an excellent medium through
which the merchants of that city can
reach our citizens.

EnInIONs-CoUNTY DIVISION.

Not because we believe either house
will pass it, not because we have doubt
that Gov. Pierce would veto it if passed,
but to present to the public an idea of the
sublime gall sometimes possessed by q
Dakota townsit5-rustler, we give the fol
lowing reasons why a bill for the division
\ of Emmons county should be laid on the
table, or under the table, or in some other
peaceful and secluded nook where it shall
'sleep the sleep that knows no waking p
i. Because there is no good in the
scheme, and many evils.
.. Because there is no general demand
for it among the citizens of any part of
the county.
g. Because the taxes are high enough
already without multiplying them by two.
4. Because a large proportion of those
who signed the protest against division
live within the boundaries of the pro-
posed new county. .
5. Because this is no county-seat squab-
BILE, as many of the most earnest oppo-
nents of division are men who voted for
Winona last November. -
6. Because our county officials are op-
posed to it-almost Gf not entirely with
out exception. And it should be borne in
mind, also, that every section of the
county is represented in tile list of Off
GERS, as may be seen in the 'sOficial Di-
rectory' at the top of this column.
Z. Because both the Council and House
bills 1--we are informed submit the ques-
ton of division to a portion only of the
voters of the county.
8. Because it is simply scheme of
hessrs. Douglas s. Co. to subordinate
county interests to townsite interests.
8. Because the toll and privations of
the pioneer taxpayer appeal to our law
makers for protection against the selfish
ness and cupidity of the speculator.
10. Because, should increase of popula.
tloh and the demands of public business
require it in the future, no portion of ou1
people would oppose division.
H.! Because the views expressed by
Gov. Pierce in his veto of the Sphinx
county division bill-that the settlement
of local questions should be left to those
most il nterested-are entirely applicable
in this dase.
IL. Because, if taxes are increased,
many of our most thrifty and public
spirited + nropertyholders Especially those
engaged IN raising stock) will be COM
PEELED to leave the county.
In combustion, we ask that Dakota s
representakiv es heed the voice of the citi-
zens of Empons county, as expressed in
their protest now before the Legislature.
We are awake that the question would
never be decided against us on its me rits.
But we also know that the prime movq'
in the scheme is now in Bismarck ); thai
he is Camping on the traiP' of Councils
men and Representatives that he. is a
gentleman that he hath an oily tongue
and an engaging exterior; that he is rich,
and that special pleading and ex-parte
statements are dangerous weapons, when
skillfully used. {''Right is mighty and
will prevail saith the old saw but it
don't, specially when your op-
ponent has the ear If the instrument by
which the right may be given or with
held.
If the bill were so amended as to give
the voters Of the whole county--who are
equally interested-a chance to ballot on
