The DeSmet leader. (DeSmet, Kingsbury Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1886-09-25


II is probably true that the visit Of
no man in the United States could be
more far-reaching in its beneficial re-
suits to Dakota than that Of Congress
man w. ID. Hill, and it is subject for
universal congratulation that this dis
tinguished gentleman was induced to
take this western trip. AS congress
sional legislation goes, every bill
passed must go through its appropriate
committee. The chairman of COM
mittee is therefore a man Of tremen-
d0us influence in all matters which are
referred to his committee, as it rests
for the most part with him TO advance
bill or retard it. to smother it COM
pletely or to report il fayoraDly to the
house. Livery Dakota measure, there
fore, which comes before the forty
ninth congress must pass through the
hands of Mr.. Hill, and is likely to be-
come a law or not accordingly as he
dictates. Mr.. Hill is friendly toward
Dakota, and during this visit he has
seen with his own eyes something of
the grand extent Of country and the
wonderful development OF its resources,
and heard with his own ears the story
of the wants Of the people. lie goes
home with far more correct idea of
the real wants Of Dakota than is enter
tanned by any other member Of CON
gress, and what is better still. he will
do everything in his power to advance
the interests OF this great Territory
That his friendship would prove help
full TO Dakota there Is no reason tc
doubt. AS Mr.. Hill Is democrat, and
as his party seems to be slow to recog
nize the necessity for the legislation de
manded by Dakota, this visit is all thu
more timely. In the various matters
which naturally come before the com
mittee on territories, this visit ha
given Mr.. Hill an interest which he ha'
meyer felt before and which cannot fai
t. bear fruit hundred fold -isioe.

view Of the case. He said: ''This North
Pacific matter shows the necessity OF com
ing 70 clear understanding with the
United States on the subject OF territorial
waters, II is fortunate that q knowledge
OF this claim has come before any settle
ment Of the Atlantic fisheries has been
arrived at, The whole subject Of the
Atlantic Pacific fisheries can be dealt with
at once, and the very important interests
Of the PsciGc coast duly protected. The
position practically taken by the United
States, that all waters which are bounded
by no other territory are United States
waters, Is entirely too thin, and we don't
stand by any such Interpretation. We
know our rights and dare maintain them.
II trouble comes out Of It we are prepared
for It."
"Well, what will be the outCOms2" "quer-
led the scribe.
"Among the questions involved In the
settlement Of the AFFAIRS" Mr.. Foster re-
piled, "are those Of monetary damages
consequent upon the forfeit Of seals, and
detention OF vessels. The right OF the
Americans to exclude our fishermen from
the high seas or pursuing their vocation
outside OF the three.mile limit, following
the indentation OF the coast aud accepted
as one the leading principles ol interna.
tional law, will also have to be settled,
We will not stand any such an acCepts-
ton OF the law as that imposed by the
Yankees, The question Ia q broad one.
Ia 1921, Alexander, the then Car Of Rus
sia, which at that date owned Alaska, as.
serted territorial right to all sea waters OF
the Pacific above 81 degrees north lsti-
tude, The entire stretch Of water he
characterized q 'Close sea- because 1t lay
completely within Russian territory, The
United States at the time were the fore
most to oppose this declaration.
"Later on, however, the same Govern.
ment purchased Alaska, and Tor an annual
consideration Of $SO0,000 sold the right 10
fish or trap In the prohibited waters to q
private trading company, Protection OF
the interests OF the traders was guaran-
teed, and the seizure oi the British vessels
was one OF the natural results. II must
be recolleCted that the United States at
one time vigorously opposed the very
principle which they are now attempting
10 enforce. Mr.. Boutwell,, Secretary OF the
United States Treasury, In 1879, writing
on this question In reply To an inquiry
made at tnat period, expressed the belief
that his Government did not possess the
right to exclude the vessels Of tishermen
OF other nations from the Alaska seas"
but" said the reporter, 'if the United
States refuse TO surrender the Onward in
accordance with your demand, what
"fhen," said the Minister, ut Is time
that the Canadian Government enforce
their rights. The growth Of any unusual
privilege by presCrptive right In such
cases as this must not only bs irowned
down, but stopped at once, and that"
said the Minister, with a significant wink,
"is Just what We propose TO do. We know
what we are doing aud have England to

laws Of another State Government Of
country, unless the contrary is expressly
declared in this CODE"
II will thus be seen that the penal code
Of the State OF New York confeFs iuris
diction over otienses committed in foreign
territory TO a much greater degree than
the Mexican code, the abrogation OF which
Is demanded by Secretary Bayard, The
latter code has been carefully drawn and
is limited in its application, while that oi
New York conters jurisdiction for all acts
(which affect persons or property within
the State, or the public health, morals OF
deCenGy" OF the State,
Ia another respect 1t Is broader In its
application, 1t is requisite otthe Mexl-
can code that the oiiense should be q
crime both in the country where commit
ted and in Mexico, whereas the New York
code only requires the act to be crime
according to Tnat code.
rhe penal code Of Texas contains the
following: "Article 454. Persons out OF
this State may commit and be liable 70

atsd forgery Of land titles and other doc

Of Mr., Blains's has been talking for the
papers here. While he thinks Mr., Blaine
Ia the foremost man in the Republican
party and believes he will get the nomina-
ton in 1888, he denies that there is any
move in that direction now, and says that
the party leaders are keeping their minds
free and unbiased on the subject OF the
Presidential nomination. He says the
Republicans feel that in the next Presi,
dental campaign all personal feelings
must be laid aside for the interests OF the
party, The personality OF Mr., Blaine will
not, he says, nominate him, as 1t did in
1884, It was felt then by Mr., Blaine and
his friends that the nomination was due,
and thej would have given 1t to him
even had they known that 1t meant de.
feat. In 1888 the only question that will
find consideration will be, "Who will
make the strongest CandidAte2" This is
yet to be developed, and meanwhile the
party lights will not burn at any individ'
uAl shrine,
Speaking OF Mr., Elmunds' victory in
Vermont, he said nobody who knew any.
thing about II had expected anything
else, II was ridiculous TO talk about the
victory being over Mr., Blaine. The
Maine statesman did not desire Mr., Ed,
munds' defeat. 1t ia absurd to think, be
said, that the latter's conduct during the
campaign would block him from national
pTelerment, but he must continue TO rep
resent the luCal interests OF Vermont.
"The trouble between tho two men is
personal, he said. ut grows out oi de.
bates in the Senate, principally upon the
Alabama awards. The debates were very
bitter, and the Vermont Senator was
beaten by Mr.. Blaine, After all the Ala.
bamR claims had been settled that were
provided for by the law, you know, there
was considerable money left, Then the
question arose under the other class Of
claims whether the money should bs paid
to claimants or to the insurance compa.
MES, The Democratic House held that 1t
should go to the claimants. The Senate,
led by Edmunds, Carpenter and Thur
man, stood by the insurance companies,
Mr., Blaine, almost alone, opposed them,
maintaining that the money should go TO
the claimants. Mr.. E1munds and Mr.,
Carpenter ridiCuled his ignorance OF the
law, and the debate became very bitter,
"Mr. Edmuuds had the Senate with him,
and prevented the passage Of Mr.. Blaine's
bill for year or so. Meanwhile MIR.
Blaine devoted his time 10 studying the
case and presently came back fully equip.
ped for the fight. Thenit became s!rug.
gle between the two men for the suprem.
acy in the Senate. Blaine won. He car.
ried his bill through and 1t was passed by
the House and became law, The de.
feat embittered the Vermont Senator, and
the bitterness increased by their taking
opposite sides on the Thurman sinking
fund bill"
