Just measure. But whom it comes to
voting, they forget what is right, and
view the matter from q purely partisan

The Dawes bill for the opening of the
Sionx reservation will be before the
house for debate, on the 9th and goth
instants. There will be lively time of
it, when the measure is finally up for
general discussion. The principles
involved meet with general favor, and
there could be no question Of the pas-
sage Of the bill, but for the fact that
there are Objectionable clauses embodied
IN the general outline of the measure
which are certain to excite opposition.

promises nor bind themselves to do any-
thing for the country or people. in re-.

sire to have granted. Certain members of
the committee, and several members of

There is enc paper in the north half of
the territory Of Dakota, the LaMoure
Progress and Chronicle, which always
takes philosophical view of political
situations and reasons without bias. Its
opinions are therefore of value. Just
now it is discussing division and state
hood matters and the organization in
the sonth of state leagues. The Progress
and Chronicle presents Its views in the
following forcible language:
The Sioux Falls convention, which ap-
pears to be self-perpettuating body, has
just instItHted o system OF county lea
CUES. devoted to division and statehood,
and has recommended that the election
of local officers. members OF legislature,
sc. be made to on these questions.
1t is hardly safe to turn calculate that
south Dakota will take any backward
steps in the issue presented The pro.
posed organization promises to be a for.
midable one, and if no folly is committed
when the constitutional convention re-
assemblies in Jaly, the league Is not un-
likely to make rather clean sweep of
the southern part of the territory next
November. This means clear majority
of the next legislature, united in local
aims and purposes, without regard to
what may happen in the north. III this
| stitution is presented, the gentlemen
who have been sowing the wind" by
| fighting division and statehood during
the winter, may have the satisfaction OF
"reaping the whirl-wind." 1t will be Of
little avail, then, to sneer at the gentle.
men of the south-to call them lot ol
"asses," or to burlesque the constitution
that was formed at Sioux Fslls--as
| MAJOR Barrett of Aberdeen has done, and
as Mr.. Warnock, of jamestown, seems dis
posed to do now. That sort of argument
will not answer in the face of q trump,
hant majority; and we submit that it ii
not good policy for these democratic edi
tors, or anybody else, to put the con
troversy into that form. The fact is tha
the Sioux Falls constitution is o goot
average specimen OF organic law; anG
the men of south Dakota
who framed it, and whit
are seeking to separate themselves
from the north, with view to Admission
into the union, are only carrying into
effect what the north and south, in ever,
convention and legislature. for ten years
past, have been declaring their united
wish to have done. Because demo
cratic administration happens to be il
power, and it is not democratic policy Il
make two states of Dakota, is not
good reason Why the people of the terri
tory should give ups the division
Nor will any attempt to stihe the pop
ular voice on this subject avail agains
the probable power OF the south in tn
next legislature, nor tend to harmon1zs
the discordant elements Of this grea
territory, which are being lashed int
increased fury by the very attempt t.
hold them in subjection.

In his adverse report on the Harrison
admission bill, Congressman Springer
uses the following language, referring
to the entire territory of Dakota:
IL may safely assumed that it will
be many years before the territory will
reach the population of 1,442,000, the
average population of all the states ac-
cording to the census of 1890.
Mr.. Springer introduces this into his
report, as the closing paragraph, as an
argument in opposition to the admission
of Dakota, or any part of Dakota.
as state of the union. 1t is q new
feature OF the situation that territories
making application for admission
into the United States must present re-
turns equalling the average of all the
states from the census next preceding
such application. Mr., Springer does not
say that this is the requirement. but bases
his conclusions and his argument upon
such an assumption, probably because
he has no real excuse to offer for his op-
position to Dakota's claims. # he had
been fair in his presentation of
the case he would have
taken the average population
of the states on the dates of their ad-
mission into the union. AS Mr..
Springer hes omitted to recits these
very pertinent fgures, we have taken
the trouble to supply them. Aside from
the thirteen states which composed the
original union, twenty-five states have
been admitted. Their total population
at the time of admission ESQ far as there
is any record) was 2,Q52,747. giving an
average population of 50, ,l10 when ad-
mitted. In making up this total We
find that the first census OF Kentucky
was taken twenty years after admission
of Alabama one year aftel
ladmissioS, OF Texas ter
years after admission Cor annexationl. OF
Minnesota two years after admission, ol
West Virginia seven years after admis
son. Our figures therefore show ar
average greater than the actual averagi
OF the time of admission. Dakota ii

First and Second Methodist.

A young man had always accompanied his
parents to the First Methodist Church. One
Sunday morning his father was surprised
when, in reply to Are you ready, yohn?' the
young fellow said: II believe, father, that
will attend the Second Methodist this morn
ing" Upon this the old gentleman departed
for the First Methodist, in which sanctuary he
was shining light and a great power around
the amen corner. The deacon, although q
Woodworking Christian, also believed in the
good things of mother earth, and had plen-
tifully supplied wine cellar, which las he
knew that the young were liable to be indis-
Greet he kept under lock and key. For several
weeks the deacon had noted the hollow sounds
in his wine casks, and he also noticed that his
son had taken a great liking for the Second
Methodist Church. On the following Sunday
the deacon again asked his son to go to the
First Methodist but John replied that he had
already made arrangements to attend the Sec
ond Methodist. The deacon quietly departed,
and John, with three companions, who had
been in waiting,went to the cellar, where they
had been all along secretly INDUCING in the
deacon's fine old wines. John flew to the door
and tried TO insert the key, but could not find
the keynote. He struck a match and saw,
with surprise. that the keyhole had been
plugged and that q very strong able-bodied
paddock had been attached to the door. As
the rays of light from the Pickering match re-
thing white, upon which was some charactere-
