The DeSmet leader. (DeSmet, Kingsbury Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1886-06-05
Excluding Dakota.
Inter Ocean.

The hope of securing the admission
of Dakota to the Union, or, TO be more
precise, the southern portion OF it, has
virtually departed, SO far certainly as
concerns this session, and probably Of
this entire Congress. Possibly the re-
suit of the next Congressional election
will be such as to induce the House to
reconsider its present determination,
but that is remote contingency.
The Democratic majority of the Com
mittee on Territories and the Republic
can minority both submitted their re-
ports Monday. Neither contains any
thing new and startling, Judging from
the synopses sent by wire from Wash
ington. The excuses given by the
majority report for not favoring ad-
mission is a hollow mockery. The pre-
tense that it can not be said that the
people of themselves want to be admit
ted is simply flat contradiction Of
The DeSmet leader. (DeSmet, Kingsbury Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1886-06-05

run the machinery of the party in the
Territory recommended that the party
abstain from voting, and there being
no opposition the positive vote was
naturally and necessarily light. 1t is
now about year since an unconteSted
judicial election was held in Cook
County. There being only one ticke:
in the field only a small part of the
Aters went to the polls. According to
the logic of this report that fact showed
that the people were opposed to the
ticket. A more transparent absurdity
could not we'll he conceived.
The minority report had nothing
new to offer. The Senate committee
had about exhausted the subject. The
recommendation made as TO testing
the actual wishes Of the people III the
matter would commend themselves to
the House if it were the real desire of
that body to conform to the actual
wishes of Dakota, but rs it is no action
Of favorable nature need be antici-
patcd. The majority report is a fiat
refusal to DO anything, and the sugges-
ton Of n second submission of the
question TO the suifrages Of the citizens
Of the Territory has no prospect OF be-
ing acted upon. The Democrats are
evidently determined to keep the State
out until after the next Presidential
election, if not indefinitely. Clear,
concise, and brief statements Of the
case should be made. and the people
made familiar with them and the con-
ditions necessarily growing out of
them.
There are, at a low estimate, 10000
people in Dakota. This population is
scattered throughout eighty-fve organ
lied counties. To provide for the
strictly local government Of this inn
peral domain, with its rapid growth in
all that constitutes civilized cOmmuni-
ties. schools, courts, etc, require large
expenditures of money. The present
rate Of taxation is very reasonable for
general purposes, but the school taxes
are necessarily heavy. The children
are being educated, but until Statehood
has been conferred the burden can not
be lightened through a school-land
fund. This of itself is IL very strong
argument for prompt admission. Con-
gress reserves two sections of land in
each township for the support of free
public schools, but the utilization OF
this provision is held in suspense.
Under the constitution adopted for
South Dakota the minimum price OF
these lands is fixed at $40 per acre.
These and kindred considerations seem
! to have had no weight with the Demo.
Gratis on the House Territorial Commit
tee. but they are likely to enter into
| the public estimate Of the trustworthi-
ness Of the party responsible for their
| disregard in Congress. The nearly
half a million pioneers in that Terri
tory are by 10 means isolated from the
rest Of the country. On the contrary
| they may be said to represent all the
region between them and the Eastern
seaboard. 1t is probable that the
friends and neighbors of other days
will hold the balance of power next fall
| in more than one close Congressional
district.

COLONEL LOUNsBERRY in the Duluth
Daily News, says: Every township in
Dakota should send an orator to take
part in the next Congressional cam
paIgn in the doubtful districts III the
States. A cyclone accompanied by
Dakota thunder SO loud and long that
its tones will not soon be forgotten,
should he turned in upon these fellows
who, remembering only that they are
Democrats, become party to keeping
Dakota ont Of the union Of States. The
people never refuse to listen when
justice appeals to them. Let Dakota
appeal to the people Of the doubtful
districts, and she will secure her rights
through the election Of Republican
Congress.

SENATOR CULLOM has introduced in
the Senate a Joint resolution proposing
the following amendment to the Con-
sttution:

ton, shall be that of the union in marriage of
one man with one woman, and bigamy or

except in obedience IN and conformabiy to
the Institution OF marriage, as herclnbefore
established, but otherwise regulation within

THE Dakota admission question be-
fore Congress has taken to itself a new
aspect. At meeting of the House
Committee on Territories held Tuesday
an agreement was entered into 10y
which the Springer admission rs a
whole bill is to 20 upon the calendar
with Il favorable report. 1t is not
probable that the bill can be reached in
its regular order this session, but should
il so happen that it worked its way
through, there is no doubt but that it
would be defeated by the people Of this
Territory. The people south of the
10Th parallel, and large portion of
those north Of the line, prefer that
Dakota should remain as Territory
for the next ten years rather than be
admitted as whole. Pierre Free Press.

But on Tuesday even ing she took
violently sick from overheating herself
and was i'm an unconscious condition
nearly all the time up to her death on
Friday forenoon. One of the attending

suited from congestion OF the brain.
The funeral was largely attended, the

which were held in the M. E. church
at O'Clock were conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. Hickman, who preached a

the church the white coffin containing
the corpse was carried TO the cemetery
by four young men, followed by Stella's
Sunday-schoolmates and friends. At
the grave the infant class sang an ap-
propriate hymn. Stella's departure is
severe bereavement to her loving
parents and the sympathy of all is with
them. May this their heavy affliction
be alayed by the soothing thought that
Stella safely rests in the arms of Jesus.
