The "grand old man." Gladstone, is
forming new cabinet. He kissed the
hand of her majesty, Queen Victoria, on
receiving her command, which seems to
be an established, rather than desirable
custom. Mr.. Gladstone will probably
have no trouble in forming cabinet, ex-
cept the position of chief secretary for
Ireland. It is said he favors Hon.
j. Morely, while the queen objects on
the ground that Morely is already
pledged to home rule.

and the nation. Let the opponents to
division on the 46th parallel present dig
nifed arguments or forever hold their

The division and statehood movement
lis one that ought to receive more consid-
Grafton than it has thus far in North Da-s
kota. Senator Butler said the other day
that new states have usually been ad-
nitted as the result Of combinations and
compromises This is true, and if the
southern half Of this territory is admit
ted, it will only be by a combination
with two or three other territories. What
then will be the condition of the northern
portion? There are those who, while
not opposed to division, are anxious for
state government. If the territory is
divided on the 46th parallel, and the
south half is admitted as state, now,
under the name of Dakota, the northern
half will remain a territory for years to
come, under name obnoxious to the
people, who are proud that they live in
Dakota. There can be no doubt of this,
because, having let in two new repubi-
can senators from the northwest, the
democratic majority in congress will OPP
pose, for political reasons, the admission
Of any more for years to come. Nor
will democrats alone oppose it.
New England republican senators, jealous
of western supremacy in the United
States senate, will appose it, or would if
their objection was necessary to it's de-
feat. The question is, then, ought not
the northern portion of the territory, in
self defense, oppose the present move
ment, in which she has had no voice? Is
it not to the interest of the people Of the
north to oppose any division movement
looking to the statehood of one portion
without the admission of the other? The
assessed valuation of the whole territory
is $1O6,0O0,00O. A South Dakota paper
says that "South Dakota proposes to have
her own way about this business, because
she pays the bulk of the taxes" She
does nothing Of the sort. The ASSESS
ment shows that she pays just one-half
Of it, and in 1884 she did not pay quite
one-half. The true situation is that
South Dakota, with two-thirds of the
population, days but one-half the taxes,
while North Dakota, with one-third the
population, pays the same; yet she is ex-
pected to have nothing to say about di-
vision and statehood, name, boundaries,
or anything else. Why? -

Scientific men have been perplexed for
some years over the phenomenon of GER
tain well at Yukutsk. Siberia A Russian
merchant, in 1928, began to dig the well,
but he gave up the task three years later,
when he had dug down thirty feet and
was still in the solidly frozen soil. Then
the Russian academy Of science dug away
at the well for months, but stopped at
depth of 1872 feet when the ground was
still frozen as hard as a rock. In 1874 the
academy had the temperature of the exca-
walton carefully taken at various depths,
and from these data it was estimated that
the ground was frozen to depth of 6l2
feet. Although the pole of the greatest
cold is in the province of Yukutsk, not
even the terrific severity of the Siberian
winter could freeze the ground to the
depth of 800 feet. Biologists have decided
that the frozen valley of the lower Lena is
formation of the glacial period. They
believe, in short, that it froze solidly then,
and never since has had a chance to thaw
out.

Chicago News: Commissioner Sparks
continues to make himself unpopular with
Land grabbers. His latest move is a decis-
ion that "a person who has made and per-
fected re-emption entry can not after
ward commute homestead entry. since
that would be equivalent to two pre- emp
tions." The commissioners idea seems to
be that inasmuch as Uncle Sam isn't rich
enough to give us all farm any more, and
in fact has only few farms left to give
away, it is not fair to let any one man get
two farms. The only objectors to this
logic are the people who are not satisfied
with farm, but want the earth.
