The Chicago papers are very much exer-
'cised over the fact that the Nebraska and
Kansas business is being seriously diverted
from Chicago, and they claim that this d.
version is a great deal more serious than has
ever yet been stated. During the month of
December, 1884, the Chicago d. Alton road
took / 800 cars Of grain from the southwest
ern Missouri river points to and via st. Louis,
Ashland, Alton and Bloomington, while 1t
took to Chicago only Go cars, while during
the preceding year it took l, 400 cars to Chi
cago and 967 to st. Louis. The Wabash took
to and via Toledo 800 cars, to st. Louis $40
cars, and to and via Chicago only 275.
The Missouri Pacific which runs to
st. Louis only, took TO and via st. Louis dur
ing December, 1884, 1900 cars, while for
the corresponding month of the previous
year II took TO that point only l,554 cars.
The Rock Island, which runs to Chicago
only, took to Chicago in December, 1854,
only 325 ears. For the corresponding mont tn
the previous year II took to Chicago from
southwestern Missouri river points LIP
cars The Hannibal IL St. Joe division of the
Burlington delivered to the Wabash at Han
nibal during December, 1884, $50 cars, which
the Wabash took direct TO Toledo, while II
took 10 Chicago only 202 cars. During De-
cember, 1883, the Hannibal &c st. Joe Dur
ington) took to Chicago 1850 ears. The
Kansas City, st. Joe d Council Bluffs divi-
sion of the Burlington took 20 Chicago in
December, 1884, only $50 cars, against ZOO
cars for the corresponding month in 1888
Out Of a total Of 9, 400 cars forwarded from
Southwestern Missouri river points, by the
southwestern pool lines in December, 1884,
5000 went 10 Chicago, all the rest went 10
81. Louis or other points west and southwest
OF Chicago. Aboutthe same may be said OF
the freight from Omaha aud Council Bluffs.
Out Of $500 cars Of corn from Nebraska
moved in December, 1884, by the Burlington
lines, only $50 cars went to Chicago. Form
erly all this business went 10 Chicago, or via
Chicago to the seaboard points. One reason
given for this great diversion is the cutting
OF rates. But other aud more serious ones
are given, the principal one being that the
inspection rules at Chicago operate against
that city getting the freight TO which she Is
entitled, and efforts are being made By
members Of the Chicago board OF trade to
have the rules for inspection changed.

Among the reasons urged in the south for
division the Gary Aster State presents these :
First the people of South Dakota have no di-
rect connection with those Of North Dakota
and the history of railway progress has taught
US that the building is. as rule, from east
to west and from north to south. We believe
in the main that this policy will hold good in
Dakota, at least during the present genera
ton. If this policy holds good it is a reason
for division that may well be considered, be-
cause to-day the people of South Dakota can
easier correspond and transact business with
the people of Indiana than they can with
people in most any part of North Dakota.
Second, the people of North Dakota are
watching those of South D ikota trying to get
''lead on us'' as a three card monte man
does his victim and we in return are sus-
pcious of them and propose to hold our
own.

lSnrc The keserration.

The Cham berlain Democrat deprecates ef-
fort at admission this winter, but wants all
shoulders put to the effort TO open the Sioux
reservation. II says
W1en every man in the territory knows
that admission can not be had this winter. II
Is simply foolish 10 continue single effort
in that direction. and the part Of wisdom is
TO turn oar attention and our efforts 10 some
thing that gives promise Of success. Some
thing that may certainly be obtained by
united effort OF all who desire the permanent
prosperity Of Dakota, especially Of the south
crn half. In this matter there is nothing 10
stir up political cranks at home or in Wash
ingtou; It Is simply measure that will give
homes 10 thousands Of homeless ones, and
open TO southeastern Dakota a highway to
the I'm meuse coal fields that lie vest Of the
Missouri river, which means cheap fuel for
all Of eastern Dakota. IL means 70 us the
solution Of question upon which the pros
perity or failure OF our country depends. IL
the Sioux reservation is TO remain intact.
then and in that case the admission Of south
Dakota, instead Of being blessing would be
a curse, an uncomfortable burden for all time
to come.

ST. Louis, Dec. Capt. r. J. Hayes,
senior vice president Of the Missouri Pacific
railway, who has Just returned from the east,
in au interview, stated that railroad interests
generally are in a VERY depressed condition.
Business is very dun everywhere. He thinks
there is almost a universal lack Of confidence
in railroads, and does not believe any new
roads will BE- constructed in the future The
most that will be done in this direction, he
said, will be the completion Of the extensions
already begun, and his idea OF the remedy for
the present trouble is the appointment OF a
national railroad commission. 10 consist Of
a practical railroad man, an attorney famil-
lar with railroad affairs and some
third person. all three gentlemen Of

forty or more of them spent the anniversary
of the battle of New Orleans in Fargo, aud
aided the local patriots to commemorate the
signal exploit of the old hero who as presi-
dent held that the official spoons should be in
the hands of the governmental family. So
tar as seen they appear to be men Of parts,
and not conspirators against the peace Of the
Union. They will not carry the territory
away, even If no warm hand is extended
from Washington. From the portion at
present reviewed the Dakota legislature will
compare favoraby with any body of law
makers in the land. They have been cor
daily entertained in Fargo, and the local
elephants were all put on duty for their BEN
eft. Many Of them had never been in the
north before, and were surprised at the met
ropolitan aspect of things in Fargo.

Not so Terrible,

The continued quarrels over county seats,
or rather the magnificent reports of them
sent over the country, with the Mulhatton
narrative OF disloyal schemes or purposes,
which are even more immaterial than the
fabric of visions, have evidently disposed of
any chances there may have been for divis-
ion or admission at the hands of the present
congress. But the territory is getting ire
mendous amount of advertising, whatever
its value. The editors of big journals over
the land, however, are making themselves
needessly unhappy. There. is no more
danger of Dakota's seeding or overthrowing
the government than there is of any other
geographical division attempting to. The
county seat troubles are confined to few
counties, and are hardly important enough
for dispatch.

An eminent physician who gathers most
of the practice from casualties by skaters,
replies to the criticisms Of the preachers and
others in this:
at is just the thing wanted by our young
people, especially the ladies'. 1t affords just
the sort of exercise that they require for their
physical development-gentc, but active,
and so attractive they cannot resist it. 1t is
my deliberate opinion that 10 conception
has ever entered the human mind, in this
century, so important to the health of ladies
in our cities as this skating within doors.
Nothing could exceed it in grace. No sight

skating rink, with its tastefuly dressed
young men and ladies sailing, swimming,
floating through the mazes of the march, as

The JHdiciHJly.

Judge Adams of the Cooperstown Courier
who has himself been a jurist of no little note
in the east, thinks there should be an entire
revision of the judicial system of Dakota He
says: Our judges who pretend to work are
oyerworked. Their appearance at terms of
court, except at favored points, is like the
appearance ofcholera, or stray comet
somewhat uncertain. There is nothing writ
ten or unwritten, which prevents an am end
ment by congress OF the organic law creating
Il county court for each county. The general
lawlessncss, fraud in school and county mat
tiers, fraud at elections, monopoly extortions,
we believe to be due, more 10 the defective
judicial system given to us by the United
Statee, than to any Inherent difference be-
tween the people Of the territory and those Of
any state.

There are now eighty-one organized coun-
ties in Dakota. The largest one (Morton)
contains within its boundaries 2,700 square
miles. The state Of Rhode Island has an
area Of only 300 square miles, While Dakota
has twenty counties within her boun da;ies
which are each larger than that entire state /;
the one mentioned above being over twice
as large. Dakota also has two counties each

The Black Hills Journal learns that the
contract for grading fifty miles west from
Gordon has been let by the Northwestern
Railroad company to Chas. Treat. No time
has been lost, aud the contractor is now
looking over the ground making prepa-
ratiuns TO commence work with the
opening of spring. As stated, this con-
tract is 10 be completed by the 18th Of July
next, aud there is a strong probability that
grading on the Black Hills branch will be well
under way by that time. AT any rate the
main line will be tracked distance OF 40
miles west from Valentine in one year from
he present time, which will give railroad
within one days coach ride from Rapid City.
The prediction that the Sioux City and Pa
cifc branch will be the first railroad 10 reach
the Hills seem pretty certain OF fulflment.
The Journal also has information that the
Mathematician will be likely TO oppose the
passage Of the bill in Congress to open the
Sioux reservation in order to keep out. com
petition for the Black Hills business as 1t can
come in from the south without crossing the
reservation.

The Plankington Standard evidently has no
authority to speak for these gentlemen. They
stand by the platform of their party which is
for division alone. They are not concerned
about admission, division is all they care for
this winter. The paper says:
There is considerable indignation through
out Dakota against the partisan measure that
will be melted out to the admission of South
Dakota by the Democratic majority in the
house. This sentiment ia growing even
among the loyal Democrats of the Territory
Ziebach, Day, Wilson and host of other
leading Democrats are chatting under the

lieve that these men would join in setting

FARGO, Jan. S.-This being my first trip
to Fargo, the metropolitan city of North Da-
kota, am taken by surprise. have been
in many of the principal towns in Central
and Southern Dakota, but have yet to find
one that has the metropolitan appearance
that Fargo has. 1t has larger and more sub
stantial brick business buildings than any
other town in Dakota. Fargo has all the i'm
provements of a public nature that any of the
eastern cities have. 1t has a complete sys-
tenn of water works, gas and electric light,
telephone exchange, large and well fur
nished hotels, the Headquarters, owned by
Lamont d Scott, being th, popular one.
Fargo has one of the finest opera houses in
Dakota, besides two smaller ones that are
thronged nightly. BENZ. Reynolds runs the
Coliseum. This week he has twelve artists,
fine orchestra and splendid cornet band.
Fargo is the greatest railroad center in North
Dakota. Trains leave for the north, east,
south and west almost hourly. II has large
grain warehouses; large Touring mill and
some OF the largest machinery warehouses in
the west. Fargo also has her share of whole
sale houses, that furnish goods for all points
in the north and west and all having a
healthy trade. There are several daily and
weekly papers printed here-the Argus, Re
publican, Ueplocydt, and San, all dailics, and
are doing good work for their city. The
st. Paul CLONE is the leading foreign paper
read here, and is pronounced by all as the
best edited paper printed in st. Paul. Times
are little dull here at present. but when
sprink opens up business will begin to boom,
when Fargo will again have the appearance
OF being st. Paul, Minneapolis or Chi
cagO.
have heard a great deal Of Fargo and
have read about 1t many times, but really got
no good idea of 1t II is certainly city far SUI
perior to any other in Dakota at the present
time, and with better price for all kinds Of
produce it will again commence TO boom.
