BISMARCK. Oct. 19.-Again consider
the manner Of the treatment Of the in
terest OF the territory in the rejection
by a Republican senate, in 1888. Of the
Sioux Indian treaty for the opening of
the reservation. which, had they ratified
at that time, would have opened the
same tract that is now sought to be
opened. and to-day DakOta's population
would have been at least 100000. her
vast pTaiTies would be rapidly filling up
and railroads would be now traverSing
the vast tract of country which sepa-
rates Eastern Dakota from the rich Black
Hills section. and that section would be
filed with prosperous settlers. and the
material and other interests Of the
whole Of Dakota. and especially of the
Black Hills section. greatly advanced.
THAT NOTARY FEE LAW.
There has been considerable said
IN reference TO the arbitrary powers
conferred by the legislature upon the
governor. There Is a howl going up
which is intended TO miSlead ana divert
the attention OF the people from many
important questions which require
legislative action. One would think.
from the territorial press. that the sole
issue at stake was to capture the legis-
lature against the governor. TO
the effect that bill known as the
'sNOtaries' bilF' might be repealed.
The ridiculous assertion has been made
that the governor. through the medium
of this notary bill, has been receiving a
large amount OF revenue from the terri
tory. Now. the fact OF the matter is.
that under and by virtue OF its pro-
visions. about $1,000 is realized towards
defTaYIng the expenses Of tho executive
office OF the territory. This bill was
introduced IN the house on Jan. 2S. 1857.
almost one month before
CHURCH BECAME GOVERNOR.
and vet the pretenSe has been made
that II was through the instrumentality
of the governor that this bill was not
introduced. 1t was a proper piece of
legislation. and the thinking masses Of
the territory do not object to proper
facilities and means beng furnished the
governor so that he may be enabled to
uecently discharge the duties OF his
Office.
There has been considerable talk in
reference TO the eXTraYagent eXpendi-
lures. The mistaken policy of the leg

prior TO; that OF 1857. in establishing
different institutions. Tar beyond the
needs and wants of the territory, has at
last borne its legitimate fruit. Some Of
these institutions were unfinished,
some needed additional appropriations
so as to put them in a condition that
would be useful to the territory. ana
some needed necessary appropriations.
specially like insane aSyiums. The
executive of the territory disapprOYed
and vetoed and refused to lend his sig
nature to very near S400. 900 OF apprOpri-
atiOns. 1t was wise policy to finish the
sifferenJ institutions. to put them in
q condition OF use to the territory. and
thereby prevent any excuse in the
future for asking for pieee-meal appTO-
priatiOns. which could only be used in
making piece-meal improvements.
