we'll disabuse their minds OF such an
idea. 1t ls business from this time on.
The few whose treason to south Dakota's g
interests leads them into an alliance with
the railroad combination of the north
will learn to realize that there is no CON-
promise in this contest. If opposition
is insisted upon it will yet become a
fight of neighbor against neiRhbor, with
loyalty always in the majority.

| tled ana Sha6 Do0y can proceed IN G
constitutional way to establish the
state and say to the general government,
that south Dakota is the master OF its
own sffalrs and that it demands places
in the senate and house of representa-.
| tives for its senators and congressman.
Thus far those who assembled ut Huron
went towards fulfilling the destiny Of the
state. AT one stride they made greater
advancement than at oil their previous
| consultations. In response to the
unanimous request of every official and
private citizen gathered at Huron from
the various portions of the state Gov
ernor Mellette will issue without delay q
call for another meeting of the state
legislature. to be heid within sixty days
lit is so understood) and that body will
then agree upon date when the state
government shall proceed to exercise
It's functions and the territorial govern
ment shall cease to exist.
The nnsnimtty with which this ag-
gross We movement was ordered betokeps
positive a~akening of the people of
south Dakota and a consolidation OF all
the statehood elements. The conserva-
tives advanced to the ground occupied
by the radicals and what has been known
as the Campbell idea was unan-
imously adopted. It is no longer the
Campbell idea but is the plan of oil
south Dakota and upon that basis state
hood will be accomplished. In yielding
fealty to ultra doctrine the conserva-
tives have taken no hasty step. They
have become convinced by the logic OF
events that it is worse than useless to
continue to formulate appeals to con-
gress for the justice long ago due to
south Dakota. They have seen their
entreaties met with contemptuoas
silence and inaotion and they now see
the national government preparing to
impose upon them an arbitrary
act of admission as whole. In
the face of the situation impera-
tive action upon the part OF the
and in response to this crying necessity
of the hour the representatives OF the
people came together upon one common
platform and they will in the future
fight the battle OF statehood as q unit.
Ii iE better for CUR future that IL cnu be
said of our past that the utmost patience
in pursuance Of the congressional
method was exercised and that it was
only when the congressional method
proved an unqnestioned failure that the
statehood forces resolved to pursue o
line of action based upon the undoubted
inherent right Of people to organize o
state when all constitutional and lawful
conditions are compiled With
The difference be:ws :, the radicals
and the conservatives Ia ini- nnvetnent
has been that the former became sooner
convinced of the necessity for this action
than the latter. Their impulses led them
by the direct route. while their asso-
ciates have taken more circuitous
course. They have now reached q COM
mon rsllying point and are advancing
under one banner with united and
inhexibie purpose.
These we're the plishments OF
last week at Huron and they were suffi-
cient to change the entire aspect OF the
statehood movement.

Huron gathering. He has always been
popular, among both friendG, and

solved itself into continuous ovation

An expression of the prominent
leaders in the statehood movement was
obtained at Huron and they were all
agreed that there is no desire to take
from north Dakota it's share in the name
''Dakota." They expressed q willing
ness to take the name "South Dakota
for the southern state, leaving TO the
northerners the full ownership of the
prefix "North." They also expressed q
willingness to make the seventh standard
parallel the dividing line. These ques-
tions will be formally acted upon at the
first opportunity and both propositions
will carry without opposition. This
much our northern neighbors can rely
upon.

More In Detail.

Y THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
met during the forenoon of the 18th inst.
with President Edgeiton in the chair,
and the first skirmishing over radical
action began. There was agood atten-
dance OF the members of this body and
from the beginning it was evident that
the convention inclined strongly to that
radicalism which had heretofore been
menopoIized by what was known as the
Campbell faction of the convention.
This was result OF the disposition
OF congress to do nothing for the state
of Dakota and the now evident intention
| of the democratic party to force the
south to drop the contest for division
and accept admission along with north
Dakota as ons state. Upon the question
of division there has ever been but one
voice in the convention body and
that for division and admis-
sion under the Sioux Falls
constitution. While its members have
differed as to the methods to be en-
ployed to secure statehood they have
kept themselves unit in opposition te
admission as whole. A majority of thu
convention had believed congress would
yield to the oft EXPRESSED desire:of soutt
Dakota for separate statehood, while
o minority we're Of the opinion that con
Igress would do nothing to advance THU
cause and that the state Organization
must take the initiative and movs re
gardless OF congressional instructions
To prevent the radical minority from
carrying out its plans the conservative
majority placed in the schedule o
the constitution o clause prohibiting tn
state government from acting as q gov
eminent until congress- gave assent
But as time went on and the intention
OF congress became more and more or
parent in opposition to the statehoc
project the conservative element OF th
convention abandoned hope OF the sue
cess of their plan and decided that
was time to take new departure and
possible follow the plan OF the radical
Tout Of this conclusion came last week
im.e.irg at Huron, the constitution

A telegram was received at Huron last
week, from Washington, which stated
that Senators Edmunds and Dawes had
gone over to the Springer bill, which
provides for the admission OF Montana,
Washington and New Mexico and Dakota
as whole. 1t was concluded that if
the Springer bill came to vote in the
senate it would pass. The universal and
unqualified sentiment among the repre-
sentatIves of the people of south Dakota
was that they would never accept ad-
mission under the Springer bill and this
determination reached fighting pitch.

detail at Huron. In these proceedings
We have made little mention of the do
ings of the legislature. but will give

lacking ten members and the senate

During Three Evsntfui Days.
Enthusiastic Action by Patriotic
South DakOtaians Who are
IN Earnest from this
Time on.
Important Action.

Beginning with Wednesday forenoon,
the 10th day of December, and ending
at noon on the Friday succeeding, was
furnished fragment Of time containing
more Of Importance to Dakota than had
been developed within any other defined
period of its career, of greater or lesser
duration. These we're days devoted to
an earnest consideration OF plans for
the future in connection with the effort
of tho south half of Dakota to achieve
statehood and wrest recognition of long
| overdue claims from an unwilling
paternal government. For many years
the south half OF Dakota has been nam.
tanning struggle for its governmental
rights and has been maintaining it
through the medium of patient appeal
to the law givers at Washington aud the
most conservative action upon the part
of those who fully realized that theirs
was the power to assert and demand,
rather than petition and implore. In
the many gatherings, under the auspices
of the statehood organization, up to the
gathering OF last week, o conservative
policy had prevailed, under wise and
moderate oounsels, and the fruits OF
such policy were finally found to be
only apples OF Sodcm.
WHAT WAS DONE. ~~
When the constitutional convention
and the state Legislature came together
at Huron on the 18th inst. there was
manifested general determination to
adopta more radical policy and this
determination was pushed to its final
ISSUE. Before PE.a=sd:;ag TO relate n
detail the doings of these organizations
it may be useful as gnide to briefly
outline the results achieved.
There was in the schedule aud ordin-
ance Of the Sioux Falls constitution q
clause prohibiting the state government
from assuming it's functions and estab.
fishing itself in opposition to the terri.
torial government. This clause was en-
acted by the constitutional convention,
in pursuance of the original conservative

extend to congress ample
time in which to confirm to Dakota it's
legal and constitutional rights. During
the proceedings OF the constitutional
convention at Huron last week this
clause was expunged, by unanimous
vote. from the schedule and ordinance
This places the state government in 6
position to assume its functions upon
the order Of the legislative assembly.
There was no quorum of the Legislature
present at Huron, which fact alone pre-
vented that body from taking concurrent
action and fixing date when the state
should begin lts existence by authority
of the people within its boundaries. 1t
was decided by the proper officers tt
convene the legislature within sixty
days to complete the work inauguratee
by the constitutional convention. A
call will be issued which will once more

The several gatherings at Huron
last week were the most important yet
held by south Dakota SO far as results
are concerned. They brought together
upon one platform the adverse factions
laborinR in the interest of constitutional
statehood and in them were buried all
the grievous differences OF the past
which have given comfort to the enc.
mics OF south Dakota's efforts. They
effected the absolute repeal of the re-
straining clause in the schedule of the
constitution and placed the state

ALTHOUGH what is known as BlaiT's
Educational bill. so called because its
author is Mr.. Blair, of New Hampshire,
passed the Senate two weeks ago. it
will not get through the House, mas
much as the Committee on Education
in that body on Friday last after a spir-
lted debate, decided to shelve the bill
until the 10Th of April. which is regard
ed as equivalent to its defeat. The bill
passed the Senate by vote of SO yeas
to II nays, fifteen Democrats voting for
it, Of whom thirteen are from the old
slave-holding States. The bill provides
for the appropriation of ST, 600. 900 to
be paid by the Government to the differ
eDt States in the Union for the support
OF the common schools and for the es-
tablishment of better methods of in
struction. The money is to be distribu-
ted according to the illiteracy of the
various States, and the larger bulk Of It
will therefore go to the South. The
money is to be paid ont during a period
of eight years, the first year 81. 600 600 :
the second year $4,000, 900, and so on,
varying each year in amount until the
eighth year. for which the amount is
e50O0.000. The States in order to re-
ceive this money must disburse for the
same purpose as much as is given to
them by the Government, and the States
that fail to do so will not get any of the
money. The Federal Government has
not the shadow of authority to appro-
pirate money for the schools of a State.
and in the Senate the friends of the bill
were driven to defend it on the general
welfare'' clause in the Constitution,
which is simply a construction of that
instrument under which Congress would
be Omnipotent and could do anything it
wanted. It is a most vicious project,
al encrCschment on the rights Of the
States and the assertion Of a doctrine
which the Democratic party was found
ed to resist. viz, that the general Gov
eminent can interfere in matters not
definitely embraced within the powers
granted to Congress in the Constitution.
If the bill should be permitted to pass
the House. the Democratic majority in
that body ought to go out of business
as Democrats.

which provides for the establishment of

labor disputes. The Boards are 70 con-
sist OF FIVE persons, two chosen by the
employees. two by the employers and the
.fifth by the four first named. who are
subsequently tO be licensed bv the Judge
of the Court and permitted to examine
witnesses under oath touching the mat

persons, one to be selected by the work
dngmen, is also provided for, to deter
mine finally appeals from the decision
OF the local boards. Local boards are
not to be paid for their services except
for items Of necessary expense, but the
State Board is 20 be provided with an
adequate salary fixed in the bill At SO 600.
Appeals must be made from the deci-
sion OF the local boards within ten DAYS.

labor organizations.
