4 Washington special Of Feb. End to
the st. Paul c.ohe says: Maj Barrrt Of
Aberdeen was interviewed tonight by
u Globe reporter about the Dakota situa-
ton. He said
Events have satisfied the Central
Dakota delegation that the Missouri
river compromise bill will eventually
be the winning bill in the houses. |
am satisfied that it will give statehood
10 the most people of Dakota and the
United States government still have
charge of the Indian reservation. The
last remnant Of South Dakota statehood
Except Senator Moody left the city Of
Washington to-day in the person of the
so-cailed Gov. Mellette, painfully sick at
heart, and we believe Judge Moody wi |
soon follow, for the Homestake Mining
company of the Black Hills has found
out it is different business to manipulate
the two houses of congress to manipulate
ing conventions and legislatures in Da-
kota. Our senators and congressman
will 0 breathe a sigh Of relief that
they have departed. The only repre-
sentatives from Dakota that secure any
recognition are the Northern advocates.
That proposition bears on it's face a just
settlement Of the Dakota feelings. Hon.
A. Boynton, backed by the Central Da-
kota delegation, has proved more than
a match for the south Dakota delegates,
for they have met and downed them on
every turn"
The Central Dakota delegates have
been promised an interview with the
secretary Of the interior tomorrow OH
the land rulings, and have strong hopes
Of having Gen. Sparks order suspending
patents revoked.
