the republican party was in power in
the nation the democrats Of south Ds-
kota and the republicans of south Dsko-
ts joined in earnest efforts to secure
the division of Dakota and the admis-
sion OF the south half into the union
This the republicans did from local in
terest and home patriotism and the
democrats professed to be acting from
the same exalted motive. Now the
democrats are in power in the nation
and the democratic party OF Dakota,
as party, opposes what it before favored
aud for no other reason than that the
national democracy opposes it. Home
loyalty has departed and the worst that
could occur to Dakota is advocated by
home democrats because their political
brethren of the states favor 1t. We do
not believe any individual can reco ncile
his conscience to such self qualification
for politics. sake and We are free to re-
mark that in our opinion the democrat
who will turn upon his past record in so
dfsreputabIe manner is not possessed of
the conscience which accompanies
honesty and true principle, and we have
never heard OF any other kind of o con-

9 homestead entry and oommuted it to

not previously had the benefit of the

attention OF Commissioner Sparks has
been called to this decision aud with his
characteristic impudenoe he promptly
declares 1t null and void. Mr.. Sparks
says:
Such decision would be in direct
violation and contempt of the statute,
and if Judge Blair has made the de-
ciaion attributed to him it will not be
recognized or respected by this office.
Judge Blair now has an opport unity
to arraign Mr.. Sparks for contempt. 1t
would be interesting to the public il the
