DEMOCRATIC ITEMS.

The surprising zeal and reck-
lessness exhibited in the present session
by the hitherto cool and deliberate
statesman, Senator Edmunds, of Yer
mont, finds something like an explana-
ton in the statement that he is trying
to earn reelection, with the chances
strong against him.-S. Louis Repu6-
lican.
1t will be interesting to watch
the demeanor of the Republican rank
and file as they turn in behind Mr.. Ed
munds, whom very few of them do not
really either admire or trust. 1t will
be curious also to see how far these
gentlemen will meet the real issue
which the people have very clearly in
mind, viz: What do the Republican
Senators want to NEEDLE in suspen-
sions for, and why do they insist on se-
cret sessions to carry out their plansp
Unless they can throw some light on
these questions they will but waste their
breath in their endless discussions

The Offices Of tie clerk OF the su.
peIirr renrt and register Of deeds
have been crowded this week with
persens bringing III ;heir Old deeds
for probate and registration. On
MONDAY sixty deeds we're brought
in, on Tuesday eighty, and yester-
day sixty-two During the month
OF December several hundred were
prohated. The reason Of this great
rush is an erroneous impression that
nc deed is gooI unless registered
before the first day of January. We
cannot understand how such ar idea
could have become so prevalent
The new registration law was pub
iIshed six weeks in the Record, in
order that it u,ight be read aud un
derstood; but 1t GEMS that, if il
was read, i, was not understood
This new law merely provides tina
no deed, after the first Of January
shall be valid against CREDITOR:
and PURCHASERS except FROM ii,
Hregistration. AS between the PAR
tiles to the deed-the grantor ant
the g~rantee-it is valid without reg
istratlon: and if the grantee is i,
OF the land, either in ger
son or by tenant, his deed though
unregistered is valid against any
second. deed subsequently made b,
his grantor 70 another person. Per
sons can have their deeds registere,
just as we'll after to-day as before
and every deed ought 10 be reg
istered.

The A Omission of Dakota.

The question is of interest to the Pro-
hibitionists, from the fact that Prohibi-
tion has become part of Dakota's Con-
stitution. II Congress decides not 10 re-
cognlze the position that the Territory
has taken in organizing state government
as legal, the Constitution will, as a mat
ter OF course, become invalid, and the
Prohibition battle will have to be fought
over again as soon as the enabling act
is passed. If, ON the other hand, Con-
grss does not interfere with the present
status, the question OF Prohibition in Da-
kota will be settled unchanyeably.
Respecting Prohibition In Dakota an
interesting fact has been brought out by
the Iora State Register II says that the
Territory has been colonized largely by
emigrants from Iowa, and that At least
10000 former Republican voters Of Iowa
are now citizens OF Dakota 1t thus ap.
pears that Iowa has the honor to be the
mother Of Dakota and Dakota Prohibition

Tho United States Senate last week had
quito breezy discussion on tho temperance
question. 1t was forced upon them, Of
course. Senator Cockrell, Missouri, intro
ducod an amendment to the joint rules by
the two Houses In favor of expelling any
member Of Congress who should take In
toxicating liquors into the Capitol. 1t
seems to have been n favorito method with
some Senators to have liquor well supplied
in the Committee. rooms. Senator Cock
rell declared during the debate, which was
somewhat exciting, that he had known
appropriation bills, and other important
business to be delayed because OF the in
toxication OF members OF tho Senate, and
that that body had been compelled to ad-
jouru moro than once on account Of the
drunkenness of its members. He did no,
charge, he said, that business had been
obstructed by the drunkenness of the Sena-
tors, but he had known the Senate to dis
solve, in order to save certain Senators
from disgrace. When that statement was
challenged, he offered to give the names
of half u dozen Senators who had been
drunk on the floor at one time; but tn G
offer was not accepted. 1t ia refreshing to
be reminded, hewever, that thirty years
ago there was much more drunkenness
than at present. But resolution prohib-
iiing the selling OF liquors in the Capitol
was adopted, at which let sll decent men
rejoice. It has been one Of the disgraces
of this Union that the Capitol has been
largely turned into bar.room, and 1t is
high time for a radical change. III the
Senators and Members oi Congress cannot
help the matter, the people can.

yet scarcely able to stand on his feet after
his seven weeks illness, but having sev-
eral carpenters to work putting his brick
block in excellent trim for his large stock
OF Furniture and Undertaker's goods, il was
essentially necessary for him TO be present
to direct affairs. Radical changes have been
made m his already neat rooms, and by
Ia. morrow he will have his entire stock of
goods removed and in position at his old
stand on Second street, second door from
Louisinana avenue, where he hopes to
have all his old friends call and examine
his large stock of the two lines of goods
OF which he will make specially in the
future, viz, Furniture and Undertaker's
Goods, Of which lie will keep the finest
and best display ever seen in the North
west. Mr.. H. desires us to extend his
hearty thanks to the people of Perry-burG
and vicinity for their liberal patronage
during his past four years in business
here, and trusts to inertia continuance Of
same in the future by handling homes,
good. a; fair living prices.
