Brief News of Interest From All

There is little opposition, and still less en-
thusiasm for the scheme proposed rom
Washington, to submit TO vote of the people
of Dakota these propositions-adms sion as
one state, division on the forty-sixth parallel
or division on the Missouri river. 1t is be-
lieved this will cause needless confusion and
complication with local deals. The simpler
and N IRE satisfactory way would evidently
be TO nrst submit admission as whole. Its
friends claim that there is no question that
it would receive the indors erneut OF a great
MAORI y of the voters. II Is undoubtedly the
policy or the Democratic party, 1t cannot
afford to deny admission as a state, but with
the chance of gaining control II the United
States senate, two Rep Iblican senators from
Dakota are all it can handle. Division on the
forty-sixth parallel should be reg arded as
meaning two Republican states and four Re-
publican United States senators. The Re-
publicans do not lose sight Of party aud why
should the Democrats?
On account of the Democratic administra-
ton ut Washington there will be many Demo
Gratis anxious to secure the nomination of the
party for delegate to congress. Au election
cannot be reasonably anticipated. but IT is ex-
pected that the candidate will have the chief
voice in the control OF patronage. Hon. J.
r. Wilson. the last candidate, has not cared
to use his influence to any great extent, aud
it is not known that he will consent TO run
again. He is one of the most popular Demo
Gratis IN the territory, and no doubt could have
the nomination If he cared for it. There are
many god Democrats named in connection
with the nominlt on, but it is too early TO
even guess who may be chosen.

will be remembered that a couple of years
ago there was similar excitement over gold
discoveries in Ransom county, and a good
IN any thousand dollars were expended. There
was gold there, but not In sufficient Quanti-
ties TO work probably.
