HEADQUARTERS G. a. r., GENERAL
ORDER, NO. Il. The attention OF
Post Adjutants and Post Quartermas.
! ters is called to the Rules and RegulG.
tions relating to their duties, see Sec
3, Art. s, Chap. >, for Adjutant, and
Sec. same Art. and Chap. for Post q.
M. Relating to reports see Art. =
Chap. 5. This law provides for reports
in January, April, July and October OF
each year. Read the law. Posts
delinquent for twenty days should be
published in General Orders, see page
SO3, Journal of 1881, National Encamp-
ment. 1t is not the duty of Department
officers TO remind Posts of their delin-
Guency. but it is the duty Of Post Com
manders to see and know that such re-
ports are promptly made.
.. All supplies should be ordered from
the Assistant QuartermaSter General
on blank acquisitions and accompanied
by the money. This plan saves many
letters of explanation. Any Post not
having blank acquisitions will be sup
piled upon receipt Of a postal card to
that effect. Forms \ and Il will be
sent free of cost. Incomplete CT
erroneous reports will be returned for
Drection.
3. Post Commanders are hereby or
dered to see that full reports are made
and forwarded by their subordinates.
The death Of each member should be
reported with quarterly report Of
Adjutant. Forward names CT all who
died'the last year, with company, regi-
ment and State. Don't forget this.
4. Considerable sums of money were
expended for charity last year that did
not 20 into Post Quartermastcr's re-
ports. This was mistake. Every
dollar expended for the relief of com
rade or his family should be taken NC
count OF by the Post and reported to
headquarters. 1t is only in this way
we shall be able to show what the
Grand Army is doing in the line of
charity.
:. All who intend to visit California
during the National Encampment are
invited to correspond with the Com
mander. IF goodly number can ar
range to go together, it is believed bet
ter terms and more desirable trip can
be arranged than otherwise. In order
to perfect arrangements it is necessary
that decision shall be reached early.
The Dakota car will start sometime
near the 10th OF July, thus giving time
for stops at points of interest, going,
and yet reach San Francisco by the
opening OF the Encampment, August
8. In writing give the number who
will 60, with names and address. Full

Therefore unhesitatingly say, that,
/. The convention should meet and
take all necessary action.
2. The State legislature should con-
yene and take all necessary preliminary
steps.
3. The friends Of Statehood should
organize at once. and control the next
| territorial convention, and the county
and district conventions Of both parties.
4. A Territorial legislature should be
elected which will give the whole force
of the law-making power to the State
government.
5. BY the combined power Of the
Territorial and State governments a
State government should be established
aud put into operation. which should
say TO Mr.. Cleveland, and to Congress,
When you by law put us down, we will
submit. Tell them we will exercise all
the powers Of State government. If
YOU leave us alone, thus admitting our
right, we will 60 on till Congress adj
mits us. If you put us down we will
submit, but appeal to the people of the
United States at the next election.
This course will, in my judgment,
bring triumphant success within ten
months.
The laws Of the Territory are binding
upon the President and Congress. and
the courts, until repealed or annulled.
The people of Dakota have but to
exercise this law-making power, fully
in their own hands, to surround them
selves with the shield Of law.
Let it be remembered that Congress
has never, in 100 years, enacted a law
forbidding such action on the part of
the people Of Territory, notwith-
standing the fact that Tennessee,
Michigan, Kansas, Oregon and others,
have repeatedly taken such action.
Why? Because, under the Constitu-
ton, they could not pass such law.
BY the Organic Act Congress has
clothed TIE Legislature with power ex-
tending to all rightful subjects Of legis-
lation. not inconsistent with the Con-
stitution and laws of the United States.
Who is the Judge If such inconsistency
First, the Legislature itself; next, Con-
gress. But Congress is divided; the
Senate on one side, the House on the
other.
This leaves. practically, the Legisla-
ture Of Dakota the sole judge on this
subject, at this time, of its powers in
this respect.
SO our watchword should be now.
|. Carry the next conventions and the
Territorial Legislature.
2. Put the State government into mo-
ton. not backing down an inch, but
going forward.
s. Ally ourselves with the friends Of
division in North Dakota, so as to get q
two-thirds majority in the Legislature
of the Territory, for division and State
hood. Say unto the children Of Israel,
Go Forward! Yours truly.

4 Ringing, Patriotic Letter From the
Hon. Hugh }. Campbell.
From the Daily Huronite. May 4.

From the Daily Iiuronite, May 4.
In letter under date of April 80. ad
dressed to the editors of the Huronite,
Judge Campbell says:
Your favor Of April % just received.
In reply ] give to each one Of your
propositions an emphatic YES.
From my standpoint we have not
lost the first battle. We have won it,
/. We have won the emphatic en-
dorsement Of our course by the L. s.
Senate.
=. We have forced the Democratic
House of Representatives to acknowl
edge the justice of our claims, by COM
pelling them to resort to a trick, in pre-
tending TO satisfy these claims by two
schemes. one for division, and one for
admission as whole, and by seeking
to evade the subject by postponement
of it, and by introducing conflicting
plans, none of them asked for or en-
dorsed by any respectable organization,
or number of people in dakota.
This course of the House being an in
direct confession of the righteousness
of our claims, while it is an effort to
defeat them, is so palpably shameless
partisan trick. as cowardly as it is
shameless, that with the American
people it will be the subject of universal
condemnation, and the cause of demo-
cratic defeat at the next election.
3. We haye won the universal ap-
proval Of the public sentiment Of the
country.
What we have accomplished in fore
ing the Democratic House to some ac-
ton, despite themselves, is a proof of
how much more we would have accOm-
pished had the State legislature, and
our senator's, and the convention have
taken decided grounds at the outset,
standing on their rights, and declaring
openly their purpose to put their State
government INTO active operation at the
end Of time certain.
/ Now. we have the battle all in our
own hands.

THE strike in Chicago and Milwaukee
is the most terrible one on record.
Thousands have struck in all branches
Of business, and no one knows where
the end will be. In Chicago the strikers
have had several battles with the police,
and many on both sides killed and
wounded. The Illinois militia have
been called out. and it is hoped they
will be able TO prevent mobs from
being organized. In Milwaukee the
condition is the same, only there are
not SO many strikers. Eleven CON
panies of the Wisconsin militia have
been called 10 the scene. The entire
strike is for one object, 10 compel en-
ployers To give ten hours pay for eight
hours work. The demand has been
met by the smaller firms and manufac-
tuyers, but the railroads still hold out.

Oscar asking for the total prohibition
