DAKOTA AND NEW MEXICO.

If Mr.. SPRINGER is in earnest and
honest in expecting to bring in as states,
at the same time and upon equal cOndi-
tons. Dakota and New Mexico, he will
not be given large credit for sagacity.
The imputation of political motive
would be difficult to discredit. There
is no other public necessity demanding
its admission. The people of that ter
ritory are not concerned for statehood,
nor are their qualifications such as will
pass without criticism. AT the last
census the voting population numbered
but 34,076, and Of these 17,677 were
classed as illiterates, those who were
unable to write their own names. and
generally unable to speak the English
language. There has since been no
material change either in the numbers
or character of the population of that
territory. 1t is not in the aggregate
good class to entruSt political power
with to all extent not required by their
numbers or claims as citizens. 1t is I'M
possible to suppose that Mr.. SPRINGER
entertained the idea that, by associatlng
New Mexico with Dakota, it would
strengthen the claims Of the latter TO
statehood. None question the Illness OF
the great territory for admission. by
aSSociating with it New Mexico the sue
cess of Dakota would be clogged and
endangered. If it was or is the desire
to exclude any territory until some
other could be found to neutrallZe It's
probable vote, partisanship has uSurped
the place of craftsmanship, and does
not invite popular confidence.
The minority report on the omnibus
bill contrasts the two territories III this
forcible manner:
Is it Justice to insist on such conditions
when Dakota has 100000 people. nearly all
Americans of intelligence, and thrltt, ana
New Mexico with less than 15o, 600, over
two-thirds of whom are MeXicans ana many

and the remainder Americans and foreigners;

but not one other public institution Of charity
or learning?

SEED FROM CANADA.
Farmers Warned That 1t Is
Mixed With Wild Oats and
NOxiOus Weeds.


Special to the Globe.
LISBON, OAK, March 30.-Thousands
of bushels of Fife wheat are being
brought to this country from Winnipeg,
Man., and sold to the farmers who
think change of seed advisable, and
this large importation has called out the
following preamble and resolution from
the board of county commissioners,
which explains itself, and which sets an
example that every board of commits
sioners in the territory should follow. as
the same state of circumstances exist to
a greater or less degree in nearly every
county in Dakota:
ssWhereas, 1t has been represented to
the county commissioners of Ransom
comfy that certain persons have re-
ceived, from different places, wheat in
tended for seed this spring; and
'sWhereas, 1t has been represented to
said commissioners that some, if not all,
of said seed wheat is mixed with wild
oats and other noXiOuS weed seed and
grasses; and it has been further repre-
Sented that when once sOwn wild oats is
more difficult to destroy than mustard.

weed, and spreads so rapidly that it

now, therefore be it
le.'Resolved, That the farmers of Ran
som county be and are hereby requested
to be very careful in the sowing of seed
wheat, that no noxiouS weed seed, and
particularly no mustard or wild Oat
seed, be sOwn. Be it further
Resolved, That this board will en-
force, as far as in its power, the law re-
ating to noXiouS weeds, and will go to
any extent, so far as its enforcement is
necessary and the circumstances will
justify, in preventing the spread of
mustard or wild oats. even If it goes to
the extent of the destruction of the en-
tire crop. 1t is believed by the board of
commissioners that this measure is nee
essary to the best interests of Ransom
county, and every one of its citizens are
respectfully requested to comply with
the recommendations herein made"
The apparent Indifference of many to
the spread of the noxious weed nuisance
has made this action by the commission
ers necessity as forewarning of what
may be expected during the coming
season.

THE FARMERS AT HURON

Special to the Globe.
HURON, Dak., March 30.-The Beadle
county farmers institute, which met
here last week, laid the foundation for
permanency by electipg board of Off
GERS composed of practical farmers and
intelligent men. An organization of
this character has been long talked of,
but for various reasons was never
effected. 1t is in no sense combina-
ton whose purpose it is to break down
or retard the progress of any organiza-
ton that has for its object the improve
ment and betterment of the condition of
farmers as class. On the
contrary, the constitution adopted
sets forth very plainly the puf-
pose of the organization to be to pro-
mote more perfect organization of the
farmers of the county and to arouse
them to their interests and duties as
citizens" to enlighten each other by
coming together and discussing subjects
that pertain particularly to them as pro-

YANKToN, OAK, March 3O.-The as

effect upon the business of the city.
An idea may be had concerning the
real estate craze by comparisons OF val
ueS one year ago and now. Two lots
which any one could have bought for
$1,000 last fall were sold yesterday for
$4,000. A ''traveling mems" addition
to the city, comprising forty acres, will
be plated this week and sold only to
travelling men. Two hundred and fifty
carpenters and brick maSonS are needed
here now. There are 100000 worth OF
buildings to be commenced inside OF
two weeks and there are not twenty
carpenters and bricklayers in the city.
Among these improvements for which
the contracts are already let are: Insane
asylum, $4,000; public school, $1,000;
five business blocks, $4,000; hotel,
$4,000; depots, warehouses, etc. Elec-
trio light is now being put in, the inten-
ton of the company being to light the
entire city by May 1. Yankton is the
largest town in the territory where 10
cal option does not prevail. 1t is a
