d. 81. Frost, writing to the Sioux City
Journal from Neleigh, Nebraska, gives
an interesting account of the methods
employed by the territory of Minnesota
to secure place in the union. In his
communication Mr.. Frost says:
The constitutional convention Of Min
nesota completed its work August 80,
1857. The constitution then adopted was
submitted to vote of the people at an
election held in the following October
and by them ratified. At the same cleo
tion members of the legislature, state
officers, supreme aud district judges and
three representatives in congress were
elected. The legislature of the state
thus chosen met in st. Paul on the first
Wednesday in December following and
| continued in session, with the exception
of short recess taken in the spring oi
1885, till August period of nearly
eight months. One of it's first acts waf
the election of Henry M. Rice and Gen
James Shields, both democrats, to the
United States senate. The Legislature
then without awaiting the action of con
gress on the application OF the state fo
pICCOSoCo w CaChSAcO sh'
rights of sovereignty by enacting I
comprehensive series of laws relating
to almost every subject with
in the range of legislation. Som
delay occurred in receiving The
new state into the union, owing, probs
bly,, to the jealousy Of the south, thel
dominant in the national councils, owe
the admission OF another free stat
without slave state to offset it, and th
act of admission did not finally pass cor
gress till May IL, 1858.
We take occasion TO direct the atter
tion OF the legislatnre of the state {
Dakota to the action of the first lei
islature OF the state of Minnesota. b
fore the state was granted an act OF al
mission by congress, its legislature nj
only elected United States senators bl
i adopted an entire code of laws. Sti
further, il passed an amendment to j
state constitution. Dakota il me-

ing seemed to start with good promises, but
they were not fulfilled. There were some
good to choice fat bceves sold early at stronger
prices, but the demand was confined to few
good cattle, and there was an utter lack of
life in the market for common to fair cattle
Some sales of low grade stock showed 10tG15c

could not be sold at all. Cattle continued to

CHICAGO. Oct. y. Special Telegram to
the BEE. l-Early cable advices to-day CON
tanned few II any features reporting every
thing quiet and steady. On the open
board trad NJ in wheat was at Jla{c for No
Vember The regular opening was at il}sc,
some sold at 12c, but soon drilted back to the
opening. There were 24O7 ears OF all kinds
of wheat on the inspection sheet, j9j cars of
corn and PIP ears Of oats. These figures
ovcrran the estimates somewhat. Hutch
was again the prominent seller. November
corn opened at 3l3 &C and kept between $500
342ic. A more peaceful tone to cables helned
wheat prices downward soon after the OPEN
ing. There were no orders in wheat either
h,re or at New York, so dispatches from
there said. little November sold at i2i C.,
but it was impossible To work off large guam
titles ut that. Corn advanced to 35lsc. Pork
kept steady around *. 950rS.g7il for Novem-
Der. Around II o'clock lOca! parties began
buying with considerable freedom, and it
locked as though there might be an advance.
Consols came in shade lower on account,
but unchanged for money. This dec inc,
though slight, was sufficient to bull wheat up
10 ~ 4@i2asc for November from its earlier
rCstng-plaCe around 1l&4c. The local buyers
on this upturn were headed by Fraley Carter
as much as by any other local heavy weight,
Ous enough to hold prices very much over
72c. The latter part of the session was in
clincd 10 heaviness
After corn got up t. }5c and a shade over it
hung there, with more or less strength, but
was not heavily traded in.
Provision dealers did more heavy sitting
dow- than tradiny. there being no orders on
t1ine !G!30r Is amount t5 anything, and the
market wholly without features The crowd
is amazed at the dullness of the speculative
pits, but do not dare to try to overcome 1t By
any operations of their own. 1t is apparent
that every Speculator in grain now has his
eye fixed on the export and shipping move
ment. Until that begins, on an adequate
scale, not all the bull talk nor even the lowest
prices in history will tempt anybody to take
the buying side with enough vigor to affect
the markets.
On the afternoon session realizing was

THE PROPOSED NARROW GAUGE.

The construction of Narrow
sGauge railway from Haley to the
.Gold Belt is again being agitated. As
repeatedly stated by the TIMES this
enterprise is imperative1y needed to
bring to cheap reduction center
the ores of Smoky and the Gold Belt.
Such road could haul ores to mills
at Haley for so cents pei ton. The
mills would be located along the river,
operated by water power, and could
reduce ores for 81 per ton. The
water-power is practically unlimited,
and 1000 stamps could be supplied
with ore from years end to years end.
The road would be the making of
the Gold Belt and adjacent regions.
it would not cost over $4,000 per
mile, and would pay for itself in six
months; it would create millions of
dollars worth of taxable property,
give stability to our chief industry
and prosperity to this whole region.
The agitation should be kept up
until the road is an accomplished
fact

RIGHT ON THE ISSUE.

The Idaho World, always sprightly,
puts the issue just as it is in the fol-
lowing extract. Shake brother
World; the TIMES has been fighting
on that line. The World says:
The Mormons, those who are not
polygamists, say they will vote, not
withstanding the law enacted at the
last session of the Legislature disfran-
cbising all Mormons. The Democratic
party will champion the cause of the
Mormons. The Republican party will
uphold the law.
The Democrats take the ground
that no law can or ought to stand that
Furnishes for belief, simply, although
the carrying into effect Of that belief
is plainly violation of,law.
The Republicans argue that, al
though a great majority of the Nor
mons are not polygamists, they are
aiders and upholders of polygamy,
which is crime, and are therefore
accessories. There is now no ques-
ton about the constitutionality of the
Edmunds law DISTINGUISHING polyga
mists, and this law being constitutions
al, it looks like the law disfran chising
their aiders and abctters is also con
stitutional.
The members of the Mormon
church are used rs tools and slaves
by polygamists, and are Mormons-
not Americans, only in name. They
are opposed to our institutions and
would overthrow this government if
they but had the power, The Nor,
mon question in Idaho is not yet set
tied. The majority of the Demo
cratic party are upholders of the Nor,
mons in what they claim to be their
rights, and the Republicans are solid
on the test oath law, and will make a
strong fight to prevent it from being
wiped from the statutes. The Nor.
mon question will be the leading Ter.
ritorial issue, and will also figure in
county elections as regards candidates
for the Legislature, as a bitter fgh,
will be made by the Democrats to
have the test oath law repealed at the
next session of the Legislature.
