johnson Niokeus, of jamestown, who
was recently In Yankton, was seen. on
his way home by the Minneapolis Tri-
bune and his views upon division and
admission extracted. The Tribune says:
johnson Nickeus, of Jamestown, was
at the Olaredon yesterday. Speaking
of the south Dakota convention, he ssys
north Dakota wants division on an east
and west line, whether it be on the
forty-sixth parallel or the seventh stan
dard. He had met j. FL. McChesney
and other south Dakota men at the
Merchants, and they want division on
the line of the Missouri, because they
did not wish TO be on the outskirts oi
any state. Councillor Nickeue
expresses himself this way
"We want division and we want to see
south Dakota, admitted as state. We
don't care straw how it goes, however,
so long as we get division, and we want
division on an east and west line. Ii We
can'. get that we are willing to send
Clifford back to congress. He has beer
there two years and has inst begun tc
learn something. We don't want te
put in some new man who doei
not know anything at all. 1t seems
| that whenever we have man there who
has begun to know something, there are
always some who want to send some
body else to congress- somebody who
| has to learn it ALL"

BRIDGING The MISSOURI.

Ponca still Claims that Railroad
Trains are Destined to Cross at
that Point.
Ponca journal, 20th-The question
whether we are to have railroad bridge
across the Missouri of this point, can be
answered without doubt in the affirma-
tive. This is the only place between
Yankton and Omaha where such O
bridge can be consistently built, Such
q bridge must be built, however, and
that without delay. 1t is found to be
utterly impracticable, ut less than q
cost of $2,500,009, to build bridge at
Sioux City, there being no solid founda-
ton for it within one hundred and
sixty feet, and there being much doubt
as to the river remaining there any
great length of time. Within few
years the Missouri is likely to take
shorter cut, (across from Jackson strik
ing the old channel below Homer,) and
leaving Sioux City entirely out in the
country. 1t was no doubt ln view Of
these facts that Messrs. Garretson and
Johnson, probably acting in behalf OF
| lsome railroad company or
companies, purchased the tract of land
along the river near this place. Ii the
| tract was designed for stock farm as
reported, how remarkable the coin
cidence that the tract should be exactly
opposite the only point on the river for
several hundred miles where bridge
can be built. How singular the coin
cidence also that the men who, more
4 than any others are interested in a
bridge project, should hit on that precise
locality for stock farm. A stock farm

One of the most meritorious bills
passed by congress this session is the
one appropriatlng $500,000 for the pur-
chase of suitable site for the magniti-
cent national library building to be
erected at once. :"
Governor Ordway has been one OF
the most earnest champions of this bill,
and Notwithstanding the claims of his
enemies, that selfish motives alone in
huenced his work, the fact remains that
it is one of the most important bill to
pass at this session. Ths site selected
is one of the two blocks east OF the capl-
tol, in which Mr.. Ordway owns an IN
terest which he purchased ten years ago.
1t is said he will realize about 500, 1000
in cash out of the transaction which
ever square is selected.-BisMafct
Tribune.
There is no doubt in the world in our
mind that OrGway was alone influenced
by patriotic motives. The history of his
transactions in Dakota will go far to
prove this.-Deadaoood Pioneer.
Knowing him as they do, the people
of Dakota cannot for moment question
his motive in lobbying for eight long
years in behalf of this bill. His anxiety tc
see the country in possession OF q cred.
liable library was equalled only by his
anxiety to see each Dakota county IL
possession of good county seat. The
deeds of some men live after them.

The figures adduced by Bradstreet's'
Journal out of the labor strike now
drawing to q close are an interesting
study, both of wage workers and wage
payers, showing as they do an aggregate
loss of stupendous proportions without
any thing in the way of compensating
gain. The number of the strikers en-
gagged in the effort to bring capital to
termsis placed at Al 625 in the entire
United States. OF this num-
Der the west claims 81, Ats,
