The Butler Rill.

AS the features OF the bill introduced by Mr.,
Butler In the senate as an enabling act for Da-
kota become understood in the territory, thera
Is growing satisfaction with it; and many,
even, who have been biased by political and
sectional feeling to take an unfriendy view Of
any measure elnanating from the source this
ono ls reported to have done, agree that 1t is
eminenty just and liberal. Some do not quite
understand the proposed minority plan in
electing delegates to the constitutional conven-
tion. Each district is to have three members;
but no voter can put more than two names on
his ballot. somewhat similar scheme has
been in operation In the election OF the popular
branch Of tho Illinois legislature for fifteen
years, and has been quite satisfactory in Its
practical results In the division of parties
each legislative district has one member of
each party, tho third member representing
the political majority in the district. Neither
party is excluded from proper and equitable
representation by this method. The adoption
of this measure in the election of delegates to
the constitutional convention would only have
much Importance as an experiment that might
result in its adoption as n part OF tho settled
policy OF the future state. In tho miscella-
neous arrangement of parties in Dakota, they
would all stand show for fair representation
In the convention. II a measure like this OF
the minority in the United States senate can be
adopted, it will givo very great satisfaction
and settle tue state question to the advantage
OF the people. The provisions for educational
purposes, for the erection of public buildings
and all needful equipment for new and grea
state, seem to bo ample. 1t does not contain
provisions disorganizing small counties, as Il
has been alleged similar house bill has. ThiI
would be very objectional, aud it is not see1
that there can bs any occasion for such n re-
qulrement. 1t is improbable that there is an!
serious Intention to impose any such provis
ion upon the peOple.-St. Paul Globe.
