The extremists in the South Dakota
estate" movement have, finally come to
the conclusion that section 80 in the con-
stitution adopted at Sioux Falls can be
abrogated without submitting the ques-
tion to a vote of the people. This section
restrains the setting in motion OF the
state machinery until sanctioned by con-
gress The Sioux Falls Press and some
other South Dakota papers, whose loyal
ty to division and statehood cannot be
questioned, object to this sudden assump-
tion of authority by the radicals and be-
ieve, rightly too, that the cause will be
injured by such move. Why this un-
willingness to submit questions of SO
much Importance to the people? It
doesn't matter how the northern section
of Dakota stands upon the subject of di-
vision; that is not the question. They
simply want to be recognized as part of
Dakota people who have paid half the
taxes in years gone by and done their
share to make Dakota prosper and the
name famous. They especially want
something to say about SO important a
matter as the dividing of this ter.
ritory into two states. The question
never has been presented to them. They
may want it and they may not-a vote
will determine. They certainly do not
want division, if it means territorial vas
salage for the northern half. So long as
Dakota is one territory all her citizens
have right to be heard upon all ques'
tions of legislation affecting their pres.
ent or their future. The northern region
has had no voice whatever in the division
question. Human nature is the same the
world over people disregarded, who
ought to be recognized, are sure to be
dissatisfied. The people of the southern
part of the territory who have met, for.
mulated their constitution and resolved
for division have not asked anything fol
the northern half. They have not asked
for statehood for both Dakotas, but sim.
ply for division and admission of one
the southern-Dakota. It is not the
proper scheme for one-half of the people
of commonwealth to assume to speak
and act for the whole. Let congress pass
an enabling act and the whole of Dakota
will vote upon it. The minority will sub.
NIT gracefully to the majority.

Col. WARNooK, of the leading demo-
cratic daily of the territory, the James
town Capital, in a recent interview with
Hon. e. A. Williams, expressed the opin-
ion that as some of the members of the
South Dakota state legislature were
elected members of the territorial legisla-
ture, it would be proper and appropriate
for the territorial legislature to refuse
them seats until they take an iron clad
oath, such as was required of members
of congress from the southern states in
the days of reconstruction.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1886-12-17

Those FELLOWS down in the Yankton
Press and Dakotaian office are of a too
serious and anxious turn of mind to com
prehend joke. Recently Hon. E. A.
Williams and Colonel Warnock, Of the
jamestown Capital, met and in the ex-
change of gossip something was said
about members Of the territorial legisla-
ture being also members of the South
Dakota state Legislature had taken an
oath to support the constitution of the
latter and would soon be required to take
the oath of allegiance to the former and
supposing the iron-clad oath Of southern
reconstruction times should be de-
manded? No sooner did the P. & d. see
this in print than it opened up on Mr..
Williams and spoke about his having out
grown the 'sjack rabbit proportions as to
ears, or something of that kind. The
P.& d. is not very consistent. 1t is a
warm supporter of the Huron "state"
movement believes in repeating the re-
straining clause believes there has been
- . b 800.
foolishness enough, and now statehood
for the south-should be demanded. IT
the P. & d. is sincere in this latter ex-
preston and really believes in setting up
state government regardless of con-
gress, and standing by it, why should it
object to the iron-clad oath, even if it was
"suggested'' in earnest instead of jok-
ingly? If there really is to be state
government put in motion, it will be i'm
possible for the members of one legisla-
ture to be members of another at the
same time, and it would seem that the
P. & D. would be in for applying the test
of allegiance to the southern cause early
in the session.

GOVERNOR HoUsER, one of the Oldest
and most popular democrats of Montana,
has been suddenly bounced by President
Cleveland and the name of Preston II.
Leslie, of Kentucky, has been sent in for
confirmation. No reason is given in the
dispatches for this move, but undoubt-
edly it is because OF Governor Housers
severe criticism of Land Commissioner
Sparks in his report to the president. 1t
seems that this man Sparks is chip on
President Cleveland's shoulder.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1886-12-17

The poor fellow who gives a chattel
mortgage gives it because he needs the
money. He is willing to pay good in
terest and is usually accommodated to
this extent. If the poor man is not able
to pay the interest when it comes due,
nor the principal either, and the loan
agent is forced to sell the property, as he
has right to do, then certainly the i'm
poverished borrower needs all the money
he can get out Of the sale. It is very
seldom that chattel mortgage equals
the real value of the goods. Frequently
the mortgaged property is worth several
times the amount OF the mortgage, but
how little is usually left for the bor-
rover after the sale. The money loaner
is satisfied to get his due and that is
about as far as he takes any interest in
the matter. Very few men attend chat
tel mortgage sale. Why? Because it is
only the lounger about the side streets
and alleys who knows anything about
the sale. The notices of the sale are
posted by the sheriff all right enough,
but days wind or storm comes and the
notices are gone. The day of the sale
arrives and the lawyer, the money -loaner
and the sheriff are there. That's all.
Property worth say $500 is bid in for the
face of the note-about $50 or $lOO and
the expenses of the sale. No one knew
of the sale. Neighbors might have been
glad to have paid four or five times the
sum realized, if they had only known
about the sale.. Nearly all in
telligent farmers take and read their
county paper. The notice of a chattel
mortgage sale ought to always appear in
print--where the sum loaned amounts to
over $50. The money loaner ought not
to oppose it, for he gets his money just
the same-and surer--and the debtor,
instead of losing everything, would get
the advantage of competing bids and
nine times out of ten realize something
besides iquidating debt, whereas, un-
der the present law, this is an exception.
The law in relation to chattel mortgages
should be speedily changed. The notices
should be published in newspapers circu-
lating among readers most likely to pur-
chase the articles offered for sale. This
is not selfish desire on the part of the
newspapers--for the small fees there
would be in it for them-but in the inter-
est of justice to the disappointed and un-
fortunate debtor.

One of the big projects now being talked
of by capitalists and property holders is the
construction of a bridge over the Missouri
river that teams and foot passengers may
cross between this city and Mandan. II
Bismarck intends to be the business center
of the upper Missouri valley she must de-
wise some means for the free transporta-
tion of the west Missouri farmers across
the Missouri. AS the cities of Bismarck
and Mandan are hardly prepared to put
million of dollars into bridge, a free ferry
will be the next best scheme. There Is no
reason why a free ferry should not be sus-
tained at this point.

The Huronite has discovered d patent
method by which the territory can make a
fool OF itself. Its theory is this: The re-
straining clause is merely the basting
threads of the constitutional garment.
When the garment is done 1T should GER
5tainly be cut in the Mother Hubbard style
Of course the basting threads are to be
taken out. They are not an integral part
Of the garment They are useful only
while the garment is: in process of con
structiOn. So with this restraining clause.
According to section1 1, article %, the con-
stitution can only>be amended by vote of
the people. BY refusing to recognize sec
ton 32 as II part Of the constitution the
people can be deprived OF voice, and as to
whether or not the state government now
organized shall be set in motion. The the
ory is ingenious, but not ingenious. 1t is
unique and technical. 1t is franght with
great unfairness to the people Of Dakota.
1t proposes to make the territory the butt
and laughing stock of the whole nation,
and to refuse to the people the right of any
voice in the matter.

Church not being a Dakotan. There

IT is hoped that congress will afford
Dakota's over-worked judges some relief
this winter. Two more judicial districts
should be established-fou would be

justice and long-suffering humanity,
congress ought to give relief.

CHAPTER VII, AND LAST.


The terrible ordeal of the funeral was
over; from all the country side the peO-
pie had hOcked to see it but throughout
the whole service silence reigned of so
death like character that the solemn
words for the burial of the dead were dis
tinctly audible to those who could press in
no further than the gate.
They were all there, the Squire and the
Mistress first; then Dolly and Culverton,
with his bandagcd arm; several relatives.
and two young officers Of JaspeI's regi-
ment, who bad com" over from York that
morning and fallen in with the procession

1t was soon over! The blinds of the
House were drawn up. and once more the
sunlight streamcd through the rooms.
Dolly was in her room. alone, the tears
were streaming down her cheeks and
thinking of the past terrible days. She
could not, she thought, make up her mind,
after these horrible events to marry Gull
verton, and her thoughts went out to the
dark, dreary future. How should she
feel that day six mUnthst Would the
thought of Cuvcrton fill her with the

These thoughts pursued her. and yet
the end was always the same. She could
not marry Culverton. The honor Of his
house must not he furnished, no matter
what her future would be.
CulvertOn, after the funeral, had gone to

and of their parting which she had felt
should be their last. She had sent him
away, and he would stay away--he was
proud and he now thought her cruel-cOld
and cruel-and yet size had sent him
away because she loved him-because it
would have been more bitter than death
to have dragged him down.
She felt now that she would give the
whole world to see him again. She felt as
sure of his unchanging love for her as Of
her love for him-she felt, with great
throb Of her heart, that between them
there yawned'an impassible gulf, but she
felt that she should love him all the days

could remain with them.
