TIE ESTATE, oF DAKOTA.

q. c. METLETTE, who masQuerades I'M
der the title of Governor of Dakota
and the sum and substance of whose pOlitl-
cal wisdom may be gauged by his profound
remark that democracy is stupid and IL
never learns anything" is buSlly engaged
drawing I'D the programme to be followed
bv the State legislature TO convene at
Huron on Dee -. Gov" MELLETTE is one
of those enthusiastic individuals who desire
tn erect South Dakota at once into state
without regard 10 the fOrmality of congress
sioual sanction and needless of the wishes
of North Dakota. Whether the fact that
he Is to occupy the gubernatoral chair IN
the new state has anything to do with his
impetuosity in the matter is not clear, but
il * main enough that he considers further
DELAY not only tiresome but dangerous. Ii
congress will not recognize South Dakotas
claim he thinks it the bOunden duty of that
norton of the territory to take the
matters out OF its hands. While consider
ing this matter in detail, the Estate" legiS-
lature will debate the ACCESSIBILITY OF sub
hitting to the people an amendment repeal
ing the SD section of the state" cOnstitu-
ton. VIII CHI prevents the state officers
from exercising their functions until the or
ganization is recognized by congress. 1t
looks very much as though a large body OF
intelligent men was going to meet for pur-
poses of very prOfitleSS discussion in the
converting of the state" legislature. The
only way for Dakota to secure statehood IS
through the sanction of congress and, big as
she is. able as her citizens undoubtedly are,
il is useless for her to attempt to bluff Con-
gress into premature recognition of her
merits Despite Cow MELLETTE's eX-
pressed lack of confidence in the Dem
ocracy. there is every reason to suppose
that the Democrats in the national leglsla-
tive body are quite ready to do Dakota
Justice as soon rs the citizens Of the terri
torv agree among themselves as to the
basis upon which they want to be admitted.
So far As the matter of division is concerned.
South Dakota. represented by MELLETTE
and his associates. is taking rather an ar
bitrary and high-handed course OF pro-
cedure. 1t is a matter in which the whole
territory is interested. and in which accord
ingly the whole territory should have
voice. The question of division should be
submitted as speedily as possible to the
people. and their dec sion being made
known. congress should not delay in grant
ing Dakota the boon for which she is well
entitled to ask.

PENSION Offenses.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE commissioner
of pensions has issued a circular to magis-
trates in which he sa his attention has been
called to the increasing number of cases in
which vouchers for quarterly payments for
pensions have been executed prior to the date
on the vouchers and postpaid. This practice
often results in great embarrassment and
long delays to pensioners. and besides entails
upon the pension Office a large amount of
unnecessary correspondence. The circular
calls attention to the fact that the practice Is
in violation of law, and it is the Intention Of

An audience beyond the seating capacity
of the house assembled in the Unity club
room last evening to witness the perform
ance of London Assurance" drama in
five acts. by an amateur company composed
of local talent. The play has good plot,
pleasing situations and plenty of room for a
display of comedy qualities. AS an anna
teur performance it was fairly successful,
and was produced with about as good
effect as half of the dramatic perform
ances that are given by profess
SIGNALS. The roles assumed by the three
young ladies were interpreted with remark
able fidelity and correctness of conception.
In some instances the Misses Long played
their parts so admirably that they might
have passed quite readily for the produc-
tons of professionals of high ability. The
two young ladies possess real hlStrionlc tai
ent, and if they are at all ambitious IN the
dramatic line they would be Justified in
giving full rein TO their ambition. Miss
Hosenwinkle assumed more limited part
but did it most creditably. Ben johnson
carried the role of Sir HaTcOurt Gently to
perfection. He possesses what is OF inesti-
mabie value to an actor, perfect sel1-con-
troll and is a good elocutlonst. lie had
his lines so well committed that he never
hesitated. which unfortunately was not the
good luck of some of the other actors. With
the exception of few slight breaks OF this
character and an occasional evidence OF
timidity. which is almost inherent to ANA
teur performances, the remainder or the
cast got through their parts quite cleverly
The audience expressed its appreciation
by frequent applauses. and the general YER

THE COOPERATIVE SYSTEM.

III T. L i
The September publication issued by the
American Economic association is entitled
Corporation In Western City," written
bv DR.. ALBERT SHAW, of Minneapolis. 1t
is a pamphlet of over 100 pages. containing
history of the origin and progress of the
cooperative movement in our sister city,
and is a valuable contribution to the grow
ing mass OF Illustrative material out of
which. as DR.. SHAW appropriately remarks,
the useful principles and hopeful plans of
the future are TO be evolved. The article
commences with a history of the initial
movement as far back as 1868, when an at
tempt was made to establish cooper shop
on the cooperative plan. The original
movers in this organization were c. w. CUR
It's. F. l.. BACHELOR, PETER KENNY,
J. w. OVERACkER. II. E. ROBERTS, w.
Ii. REEVES. GEORGE w. SARGENT and
JOSEPH COMES DR.. SHAW says that there
WAS no romance in the inception of the CO.
operative system Of production, the move
ment being inaugurated without the laying
ON of apostolic hands and received no cod
ding or advertising. 1t was an obscure
movement, anu 81 Id uo IL
was known or noticed it met
with disfavOr and distruSt. 1t was
not until after several struggles that
the cooperative system got fairly on its
feet in 1874 by the organization of the Co.
operative Barrel Manufacturing company.
An important feature of this organization
was the distinction between the two kinds
of profit and loss one affecting the men as
CAPITALISTS and the other kind affecting
them as laborers, distinction which has
not been made by cooperative societies
elsewhere, and which, according to DR..
SHAw'S opinion. shows keen economic in
sight, and has great practical value. The
article then proceeds to give an interesting
history of the progress made by the several
successive cooperative organizations, in
Guiding the cooperative agricultural col
ony. mercantile company, laundry, the
Dundas coOpers, profit sharing in the
PILLsBURY mills, cooperation among the
painters and building associations of both
st. Paul and Minneapolis, as well as the vari-
Gus unsuccessful attempts at cooperation.
The article throughout is valuable and en-
tertaining treatise on the cooperative sys-
tenn and its results, and the Economic
association displays wisdom in presenting
it to the public under its auspices.

A FUTURE FOR THE TRANSFER.
Great Warehouses 10 Be Built There
-.$Ome Important Land Pur-
Chases.

In conversation yesterday on the subject
of heavy switching charges by railroads,
H. S. Fairchild foretOld a great business
future for the Minnesota Transfer. He
said that the Minneapolis business men
were complaining bitterly about transfer
charges there. and the board of trade has
already taken the matter in hand. While
the railroad companies say the rates OF
transfer are lower in st. Paul and Mime
ap0lis. still the aggregate charges to manu-
facturers, ETC., are enormous. Mr.. Fair
child says it is estimated that the Minneap-
oils mills alone pay 1882. 500 annually for
transfer carges on freight. Add to this. he
says. the amounts paid in the two cities by
lumber men, wholesale houses and panu-
facturerS, and see what an enormous total it
makes Continuing. he said:
l have been thought visionary in my es-
Inmates as to the future value of the frontage
of the Minnesota Transfer, but in the light of
these facts who dares put limit to their
values? Elevators, mills, warehouses and
manufactures must at no distant day crowd
every foot of this Transfer frontage and the
frontage of "hOrseShoeS'' thrown out in every
direction from the Transfer, and this district
be the most active business center OF the two
cities, and values reach point never dreamed
of b, those who have not given this matter
consideration.
Mr.. Fairchld said that, apart from the
saving of money by concentrating business
at the Transfer. there was also a saving of
time in the shipment OF freight. AS evil
dencng the current of manufactures in
that direction he gave the following pur-
chasers of property at the Transfer: D. c.
Shepherd and Mr.. Dodge, of Minneapolis,
an acre each on the east side of the Trans
fer, each paying $500 per acre. The Nc
Cormacks, of Chicago, recently paid $1,000
for property on the othor side. j. NJ.
Bohrer and the Spring Valley School Fur
niture company each purchased an acre
there for storage and manufacturing, pay
ing So, 900 per acre.

NEW YORK. Dec. 7.-Reports show that a
storm OF unusual severity has prevailed all
day along nearly the whole A tlautic
coast The wind has been blowing
with violence off shore, and shipping
has consequently been subjected to extreme
danger. Numerous vessels are reported
ashore and badly damaged or entirely
wrecked, but as far as learned their crews
all managed to escape or were rescued
from their peril alive. The storm
was accompanied by snow in most
places aid extended far inland, and in some
places railway traffic has been much i'm
peded. The roof of the Highland rink. at
Boston, was crushed in by its own weight of
snow and damaged $4,000.
