How ElectrIcity Kills.

An expert electrician seriously advances
proposition that will provoke discussion.
He asserts that it is not the electricity
the human system receives that kills.
Life is destroyed, wrenched from the sub
ject of superabundance OF the fluid, by
the discharge. In other words. if a man
were converted into an electrical jar, he
would prove an entirely trustworthy res
ervoir of electricity. Any quantity of the
fluid might be "banked'' in him. But
the moment it is drawn from him he drops
lifeless, limp as the sparrow that falls
from the wire.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

| state movement and Ordway johnson is
Its sponsor, by on elective majority o:
the convention and its proxy votes. The
Aberdeen movement was engineered at
Washington. OF this we have undoubted
proof. Who engineered itP Not men
who are sincerely desirous of securing
the admission of Dakota, but men who
are in pursuit of pecuniary speculation.
The men who are now known as The
motive power within the movement do
not want Dakota admitted, and the COM
mittee representing the Aberdeen con-
vention at Washington does not want
Dakota admitted.
Ordway Johnson is non.resident-a
tourist in Dakota for revenue only. He
has no interest in Dakota beyond the
dollars and cents he may take from ID
through speculative schemes. f. A.,
Gale is opposed to the admission of Da-
kota in any shape. This he has said
time without number in his harangues
at Canton, his home, and he
is there recognized as an anti
admissionist of the most pronouncod
stripe. This is the committee which
represents the Aberdeen convention at
Washington. OF course it favors the
Springer bill. The Springer bill is not 3
bill for the admission of Dakota. Should
the speculative jobs within it fail, In
case it becomes law, the subsequent
proceedings" would interest Mr.. Sprin-
ger no more.
And for this Dakota is asked to aban-
don its.plea for division--its hopes for
future harmony-its prospects for the
accomplishment OF the best results to
come from local government. Dakota
win not do it, and its representative in
congress is right in his determination to
yield nothing to the one state speoula,
tors and the anti.statehood politicians.

Delegate Clifford has not forgotten in
she rush OF work to send the Press and
Dakotaian copies OF sll the congressional
bills relating to the division or admis.
sion of Dakota. Ia perusing them We
were first instinctively drawn to the bill
formulated by Mr.. Springer, the one
which hss received the endorsement OF
the democratic one state convention at
Aberdeen, and is now being backed at
Washington by two democrats sent by
the convention at Aberdeen-Jo ohnson
and Gale. AS has been previously stated,
this bill for the admission
of Dakota is not bill for the admission
of Dakota. Its contents reveal no leeis-
lation for the creation of state. It
merely authorizes the people OF all OF
Dakota to assemble In convention and
prepare for statehood and then author
ICES congress, in its discretion, to admit
or not admit the state. There are two
prominent pecnliarities in the Springer
bill. It divides Dakota into two con-
gressional districts, thus apportioning
congressional representation and shap-
ing the districts to met the demo
cratic congressional idea. It pro-
vides for the abolition of all
existing counties which had less
than three Thousand population in 1885
and the formation of new counties and
the location of new county seats. The
proposition that congress shall create
the congressional districts OF new state
| possesses no precedent and is purely o
Springer invention. This duty should
| devolve upon the constitutional conyen-
tion or the state Legislature, but in his
preparatory act MIR. Springer takes from
the people the most vital preroga tive
which could be bestowed upon them
under local self government and eonfers
it upon en- alien legislative body.
Other new states hsye not been deprived
of the privilege Of constructing the ma.
chinery OF local government.
The constitutional convention under
the Springer bill is TO abolish all coun.
ties in Dakota not possessing three
thousand population by the census oi
1885. This would seal the fate of ff.y
Dakota counties. three quarters OF which
are organized and under governments o
their own. The proposltlon il
