Wherever there are great collections
of people, there are always bad and fool
ish people among them. 1t was so at
Bridgeport, where the State fair was
held. Outside the grounds. behind or
in tents or booths, were many who gam

a very simple thing to gamble-so sim

many boy 81 led to take the first step
before he knows it.
There was behind one of the oyster
stands circle of men and boys. On the
ground sat poor degraded, dissipated
man, poorl y clothed and looking sick
and weak. He held in his hand several
iron rings, and before him was a board
with large nails in it, which stood up
right. A clear-faced, bright-eyed, hand
some little fellow stepped up to him. He
was just such boy as IS prompt at day
school, and always has his lessons at
Sunday-school. He showed this in his
face as he stepped up to the man and
said, "Whats that for?"
"Give me cent, and you may pitch
one of these rings; and if it catches over
a nail Ill give you six cents.
That seemed fair enough; so the boy
handed him cent and took ring. He
stepped back to a stake, tossed the
ring, and it caught on one Of the nails.

again, or six Cents?"

The Parker Era puts forth special
cali asking the people of that section to
contribute not more than fifty cents
each to fund to pay the Washington
expenses of Senator Edgerton and
Representative Kanouse. The right of
any person TO take up collection for
our statesmen cannot be conceded. 1t
is practically an insult to gentlemen
who accepted election under the implied
understanding that they we're to meet
their own expenses until congress recog-
nized their right to draw teir salaries.
While the Era is doubtless actuated by
the most unselish motive, it is placing
Senator Edgerton and Representative
kaEouse in very uncomfortable posi-
tion before their constituents.

Texas has territory enough and popu-
lation enough to make three such states
as Dakota would. We hope some of our
republican contemporaries will be clear
sighted enough to find an honest repub-
llcan member Of congress- who will move
to divide Texas by three and then admit
ell into the union. Such find would
speak volumes for the high-mlndedness
of their party, and demonstrate besides

Delegate Clifford explains the alleg ed

According to MIR. Clifford it is s'gross

for the admission of Dakota, or propo Sc
any relief whatever. It is simply @
burlesque on all sensible bills on the
subject. Boynton, the democrat" says
Mr., Clifford. who is here from the terri
tory circulating copies of the bill which
he is proud to call his own, says it is in
duced by his party IN congress as well
as at home. If this is true the demo-
cratic party of Dakota at least has al
ready ruined its influence here. But
there is not the least likelihood
of Boynton's bill being passed. 1t
simply provides for the election of dele.
gates to convention to form consti-
tuition, which shall be by the governor
certified to congress. 1t contains no
provision for the ratification of such
constitution by the people, nor provision

Relative to the proposed northern
Dakota convention, which is to convene
on the l2th of January, the jamestown
Capital says:
Considerable discussion has arisen as to
the good faith OF the Fargo convention
next January. Many who are earnest
sympathlzrrs with division fear there is
some game of the Bismarck gang behind
1t ali, and that an attempt will be made
to defeat the prime object for which the
convention is called We cannot speak

graph, the Fargo Republican says:

that the opponents of division VIII SEIZE

tai out OF the convention. Whether they
shall succeed depends upon the watch
fuluess of the advocates of division. Ii

It, Ii the friends of division take any in
terest in the matter there will not be au
! opponent of division in the convention
/ Tor there IS not q community IN all north
Dakota where the advocates of division
are not overwhelmingly in the majority
The Republican hopes TO see the press
of the territory earnestly call the atten
ton of the friends of division to the
danger OF not attaching sufficient i'm.

gates be selected at public mass meat
ings, and let only those be named who
are known to be in sympathy with the
wishes of the community th4y are tc

The two papers above quoted from
are earnest advocates of the proposition
to divide Dakota on the 46th parallel
and are friendly to the immediate
mission of south Dakota. Their en-
dorsement of the convention Of the 1871

Flandrau Enterprise; While the En-

Campbell in his theories about creating
{. state out of south Dakota, it does APP
pear to it that the refusal of the legisla-
ture to elect MIN as one OF the senators
was rather shabby treatment. He GER
tainly is entitled to the credit OF having
done moro than any other person to
work up the sentiment for division on
the forty-sixth parallel and in favor OF
creating state out of the southern
half without waiting for the sanction OF
congress. He has probably been the
most sincere in the matter of all the

Oiivet Record: One characteristic
feature of politics in south Dakota is,
when the "bantam" politicians find that
they are under leader capable of car
rying them through, is to manage to
overthrow him. Hon. Hugh j. Camp
bell, the originator, we dare say, of the
state movement in south Dakota, was
treated in this manner at Huron, on the
l4th. Some of our exchanges are how
ling that he is still recognized as the
leader of the state movement. This may
be true, but it is q very poor way to
show their appreciation for his jealous
services. Mr.. Campbell was entitled to
reward, if anyone was, for his untiring
and unceasing efforts to carry the state
movement to where it now rests. "Con-
sistency thou art jewel"

Sioux Falls Leader: The election Of
Judges Gideon @. Moody and Alonzo j.
EdSerton to the United States senate
from the state of Dakota will give gen.
eral satisfaction to all those who are in
sympathy with the statehood movement
Both gentlemen are ardent advocates of
the rights of the people and will present
our claims before congress in an able,
lucid and mastery manner. 1t may be
a matter of surprise to some that Judge
Campbell, who IS itly termed the
father of statehood" was not rewarded
for his labors by the statesmen, who in
a measure owe their position to his
efforts. His defeat is due solely
to the cowardice Of the members
of the two houses who were afraid of his
pronounced views. 1t is not so much a
personal defeat of Judge Campbell as an
endorsement of Judge Edgerton's more
conservative policy. Judge Campbell
has to-day, more friends in Dakota than
he ever had before and the general SEN
timent as expressed at Huron, was that
when the time arrived that he could. in
safety, be honored by the people, ire
spectiye of democratic prejudices, all
Dakota would vie to do him honor. The
combination of Judges Moody and Ed
gerton remains strong one, however,
and the new state will be well represent

session Hon. r. s. Strahan, member

resolution No. Is, reciting the provis-
ions of the Burlingame treaty with
China, under the provisions of which
Chinese now fill up the entire Pacific
coast declaring that the treaty ''was in.
imical and hostile to the interests of
the people of the state of Oregon, (" and
winding up with the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, By the Senate, the House
concurring, that our senators in Cen
gress be instructed, and our represen-
tatives requested to use all honorable
means to procure the abroeation of
said treaty and that the Secretary of
State furnish our senators and repre-
sentatives with certified copies thereof
Here was a plain direct test Of Mr..
Cornelius views on the Chinese ques-
ton. AS soon as the motion was made
to adopt, Mr.. Cornelius was on his feet
with dilatory motions to defeat the
resolution, but when out voted on every
point, and the resolution was put up
on its passage, he voted against it.
