are many subjects in the various
divisions OF the presidential message
which will be elaborately discussed
criticised or commended by the active
minds of the states OF the union which
are participants in the government
represented by Mr.. Cleveland. Perhaps
there are some within the boundaries
of Dakota who will arrogate
to themselves the privilege of
the free thinkers of the more favored
fragments of the federal union and will
discuss general issues presented in the
annual executive document. But these
are really affairs which do not concern
the outlying province called Dakota.

The secretary of the territory has re-
ceived the official result OF the congress-
1onal election from all the organized
counties in Dakota and the figures are
published elsewhere In our tabulated
statement. The total vote was 104,8 ,8ll, ia
dioating q population in all of Dakota of
624,055. OF these votes Mr. Clifford, re /.
publican candidate for congress-. received
66,932 and Mr., Day, democratic oaudi-
date for congress, received 37.S79 giving
to the republican candidate q msjofity
OF 29 053. In the south Mr.. Clifford has a
majority of 21 023 and in the north a
majority of 5000 Two years ago Mr..
Clifford had majority of 3l,l17 in the
south and 25i554 in the north, making Il
total OF 56,672 in the entire territory.
South Dakota, at the late election, cast
65, ,765 votes and north Dakota a9,O46.
This shows population of 32s,s25 In
the south half of Dakota aud of 1867
in the north half of Dakota. The vote
in the entire territory has increased H..
9S4 IN two years. showing a. population
increase of 1890. In the south the in
crease in two years has been 11,196 and
in the north 6,7SS. The population
increase in the two sections has been
nearly two to one in favor OF the south.
Both sections showa vigorous growth
and the returns prove .copolusively that
each section is entitled to statehood.
Under the congressional rule OF repre-
sentation the south could. claim three
congressman an d the north two.

Governor Mellette, having been IN
terviewed at Wstertown relative to the
coming legislative and constitutional
gatherings at Huron, announced it as
the general intention to make an effort
to secure statehood through all honor
able means. He says the legislature
will probably submit an amendment to
the people repeating that section of the
constitution which prevents state officers
from exercising their official functions,
after which they will give notice that
the territorial government will cease
and the government of the state begin.
1t is found necessary to first blot out

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6. - Attorney.
General Garland to day said TO an agent
of the Associated Press that he had moth
ing now to say concerning the manner in
which he became interested In the Pam
Electric Telephone company or the cir
cumstances under which the suit at
Memphis against the Bell company was
instituted by direction of the solicitor
general last autumn, ''for," he added,
t'my published statement to the president
last October said everything knew about
these matters, and my attitude In regard
to them has not changed in the least
since then. Besides this it now
appears that an investigation covering
this whole question is to be had by the
house of representatives, and am glad
of IL, and hope 1t will be thorough and
complete, and that III there is Of it will
be r, vealed and made public. In advance
of this investigation, which | heartily
welcome, feel disinclined to 90 into the
subject in detail, but will say this, how
ever 1t is asserted by some people
that, as am member Of civil com
pany opposed to the Bell company, and
the government is now prosecuting snit
against the Bell telephone patent, that
lllh sun may itsul0 W my uChShNJ
or advantage, and that, too, while | Am
at the head of the department OF justice,
through the solicitor general of which
the suit is to be carried on, and that,
therefore, something should be done by
me to relieve myself and the administra-
tion from the apparently delicate silua
ton indicated, | have considered this
suggestion in all its bearings as far as
am able, and recognize the fact that
there is much In 1t worthy of thought. ]
have discussed In my mind most thor
oughly what could and ought to
do In view, alone, of this state
OF case, and have determined to take
steps 10 meet this in n way that will, !
think, receive the appreciation OF all the
people who really desire TO be satisfied
This would be at once contaminated, but
as the investigation by the house is now
to proceed do not think ii right for me
to do anything or explain what | intend
to do until an investigation Is concluded,
as my motive mi view OF this
investigation might be misconstrued, bnt
whatever the result OF the investigation
may be, will carry out and execute the
determination | have reached and OF
which have spoken, and more than this
| nope you do not expect me to say or In
dictate"
"But, Mr.. Acknowledgement, will you
allow me 10 inquire whether this fore
shadows your resignation from the cabi-
metz"
