The Warner sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1885-1???, 1886-02-12
PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

SENATE-The resolution OF Mr.. Riddle.
berger concerning the right OF the senate to
cali upon the president for reasons for re.
moval from office was, after a long debate,
laid on the table. taken up again, and reierr.
ed to the committee on privileges and cleo
tions. Mr.. Logan spoke in support OF the
Dakota admission bill.
He differed materially, he said, with the
senator from South Carolina (Mr. Butler)
and the senator from Missouri (Mr. Ves1
in regard to the question under considera-
ton. Fourteen states bad been admitted
under the force of enabling acts, and
eleven states without enabling acts. Con-
prcss, therefore was tree to adopt either
course according to the circumstances
which in each case might be best
adapted to the public good. What was the
substantial objection to Dakota's admis-
sion? By reading q paragraph from Mr..
Buffers speech we might get aglimpse oil at
least n shadow OF the real objection. The
meaning OF the objection was that ifDakuta
were admitted it would add three electoral
votes to the Republican strength at the
next presidential election. He inquired OF
Mr.. Butler whether that was not the
point.
Mr.. Butler denied it, and said he had al
ready declared that even if the political
complexion of Dakota were Democratic, he
would have felt Obliged to oppose its adj
mission under the present aspect OF its APP
plication. Mr.. Butler spoke OF Logan as
a leader Of the Republican party, &c.
Mr.. Logan-Not II leader. ] was a fol-
lower, and | followed so far behind that I
got left. [Great laughter and applause in
the galleries.] The attempt to keep out
Dakota, Mr.. Logan characterized as a part
OF a great scheme to keep out states that
send Republicans to congress.

before submitting this bill TO the people, elm
mate from 1t everything that has been done In
the way Of election Of senator's, congressman,
etc2
Mr.. E~dmunds-I will not. After all these
years OF effort aud application by these people
the matter should now be disposed OF. Here
was a constitution like the constitutions OF other
states in respect to the security OF property, the
administration OF justice, the equal levying of
taxes, and everything that goes TO make up the
best or modern constitutions. I would not
therefore say TO these people that they must be
again put on for one, two or three years. The
people OF a territory had no right to IeDsain a
territory forever. The United States paid q very
large part of territorial expenses. and should be
relieved OF that burden as soon rs was con-
sistent with the general good. Ii was the mis-
fortune OF the senators on the Democratic side
that the Dakota people did not have political
opinions with which these senators could agree,
aa5 that was what the matter was.
Mr.. Beck denied the right of a territory te
divide i~tself--that being a power lodged only
in congress- The population of the new ter.
ritory, he said, consisted to a considerable
extent OF Observation-Disclosures and
ouhers-who were not yet prepared for citi.
zenShip The debate then closed, and Mr.
Buffers substitute was put to a vote and
lost-yeas D. nays So The bill reported
from the committee was then ~passed-yeai
81, nays %. The only Democrat voting in
the affirmative was Mr.. Voorhees,. The mega
tive votes We're all Democratic,
The bill divides the Territory of Dakota on the
line of the forty-sixth parallel OF latitude; pro.
vides for the admission of the southern portion
as a state under the title of Dakota and the or.
ganization of the northern portion into a terri
tory under the name OF Lincoln"
The Warner sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1885-1???, 1886-02-12

SENATE. The Dakota bill was placed be-
fore the senate and Mr.. Harrison tool the
floor. He insisted that the real animus OF
the objections was that another presiden.
tial election should pass before the people
OF Dakota were to be permitted to partici-
pate in such election. Mr.. Morgan said
the senator from Indiana (Mr.
Harrison), who was evidently a candidate
for the presidency, might not have chance
at the votes OF Dakota, for Mr.. Morgan did
not think he would ripen in four years.
Mr.. Harrison replied that ii he ever
should be a candidate, although he might
Justly claim the electoral vote OF Alabama,
he never would expect to have it counted
for him.
Mr.. Harrison spoke vt some length in
further maintenance OF the points origin
ally made by him in favor of the commit
tees bill. He appealed for justice for Da-
kota from the men who, as descendants Of
the men of 1776, would themselves feel res
tive under the restraints now imposed on
the territory that was seeking admission.
Mr.. Butler obtained the floorto reply to Mr..
Harrison, but Mr.. Call asked him to give
way for an executive session.
Among the bills introduced were the fol-
lowing:
By Mr.. Henderson, TO facilitate pro-
motions and to retire from active
service upon their W application
officers Of the navy who served dur
ing the war OF the rebellion as general
officers OF the volunteer service. BY Mr..
Frye, relating to public counts and
claims. By Mr.. Dolph, to extend the limits
OF the port of Portland, Or, so as to in
clude all that portion OF the east bank Of
the Willamette lying opposite the city.
The Dakota bill, and the bill for the ap-
pointment OF an assistant secretary Of the
navy, went over without a vote.
The senate committee onpublic buildings
and grounds reported in favor OF an APP.
preparation of $50, 900 for a public build
ing at Saltwater. This action viii suffice to
pass the Measure through the senate Sem
ator Sabin feels confident it will We fair
treatment in the house.
Senator Mcmillan introduced a bill re-
Gently for an appropriation for u light
house at Two Harbors, Mimi. The
Mount was left blank for the committee
to fill in, probably $4,000.
Senator Plumb says he will call up soon
the bill to throw the Sioux City q st. Paul
grant near Lemars into the United States
court. He is expected to make q speech
in opposition to the bill.
HoUsE.-The% shipping bill, which pro- ides

SENATE.-The debate on the Dakota bill
was concluded. Mr.. Buffers substitute

Fermentirg Manure.
By Our Agricultural Editor.

All kinds of vegetable matter, straw.
leaves, weeds, grass, hay, &C., when piled
in bulk, soon begins fermenting or decay.
and the fermentation is more or less rapid
according to the presence of heat, moisture
and size of the pile. Green matter in hot
weather, piled in bulk, begins to Torment
speedily, and decay soon follows. In win
ter, as there is less heat, decay is slow, but
1t is going on all the same in every pile of
vegetable matter.
Fermentation is the agent by which mat
ter is reduced for plant food, But fermen-
tation is combustion, and during the pro-
cess the organic material is thrown off and
dissipated in the air as carbonio acid, am
monia, etc., to the detriment and injury of
the manure Much valuable fertilizer is,
undoubtedly, lost in this way.
But the farmer has it in his power 10 re-
tain this volatile matter, and prevent its
loss. Nature has given him more than one

she said -
