Democrats Will Aid.

YANKToN, Dec. S.-A number of
prominent democrats of South Dakota,
including Maris Taylor, suryeYor-gen-
eral; P. T. Mcclure, superintendent of
immigration; e. W. Miller, receiver of
the Huron land office; J.W. Harden, ad-
iutant-general; Chas. Reed and j. JEFF
ferson, arrived in the city last night.
Tonight they held conference with
prominent Yankton democrats, among
whom were Chief Justice Bartlett
Tripp, Gov. Ziebach and Col. Hughes
East. upon the statehood question.
1t was decided to call mass meet
ing of democrats at Mitchell on the
goth inst, when a delegation will be
elected to go to Washington and
endeayor to persuade the democratic
members of the house to pass the adj
mission bill at this session. The idea
is to obtain admission this winter and
avoid the delay Of year at least.
Gov. Church and Associate Justice
Spencer were expected to be present at
the conference, but failed to arrive or
any of the early night trains. They
will probably arrive here during the
night or in the morning. This is al
| independent move of the democrats tt
bring all influence possible to bear up
on the democratic house. to secure ad
mission this winter. The Mitchell
meeting will adopt resolutions favor
ing the passage of the Platt bill.

The Sioux Press hastens to remark
that its attitude respecting the admis-
sion of South Dakota without reference
to the north has been misunderstood,
and proceeds to explain as follows:
Jane and Sarah may both be mar
riageable, and each may hope for a
husband for herself, and one for her
sister as well-and if Jane is engaged,
Sarah, even if she has beau on the
string, oughtn't regard Jane as selfish
and disposed to "knife" her sister and
injure her matrimonial chances if she
should think that her own nuptials
were entitled to celebration somewhat
more Immediately than those of girl
to whom the question hadn't been pop
ped as yet.
In this instance, however, both Jane
and Sarah are engaged, the former for
a longer time perhaps than her sister,
but in James case the trousseau is
already prepared and the day all but
set, while Sarah has just begun her
preparations. For Jane, therefore, to
insist on occupying the entire house
and the whole attention OF the family
until aftei her wedding, when she
would in nowise delay 1t by lending a
hand to her sisters preparations
would be supremest selfishness,

Ever since the county of Hand was
organized the two towns of st. Law
renee and Miller, situated but three
miles apart, have been the bi:terest enc
mics, each striving in every possible
way to getthe better of the other. They
have now buried the hatchet, however,
at point on the prairie equidistant
from the two places, and over its grave
have joined hands in a campaign to
secure the location of the permanent
capital of South Dakota. Their scheme
is to dedicate a sufficient amount OF
land between the two towns to furnish
building site, the ultimate intention
being to make one large city around
this nucleus, and they are so far in
earnest as to have put canyassers in
the field to work up the interest of the
voters in this plan. The idea is not so
visionary as might at first appear
and we should not be SURPRISED to see
| it cut quite figure in the coming CON
test for capital honors.

DAKOTA AND STATEHOOD.
What Easterners Know About the Terri
tory and Why 1t Will Not BE Admit

New york, Dec. 1o.-A special from
Washington says: A prominent citizen
of Dakota, who had much to do with re-
moving its capital from Yankton to Bis
marck, and who is one OF the best-in
formed men in the territory, says that
there is very little prospect of the terri
tory being admitted as a state, either
during this session OF congress or the
next. This territory contains enough
Inhabitants to warrant its being cut into
two states. and that is the desire of the
majority Of it's people. They want the
territory divided on the forty sixth par
allel. This would give the Republicans
four senator's and two representatives,
but the interests of the proposed new
states would be largely in favor of tariff
reform, and it is not likely the protec-
ton wing. which is tho dominant ele-
ment in the party, will be in a hurry to
weaken its hold on the senate by admit
ting four new senator's who would be

Dakota's position as to leadership
among the territories is undoubted. 1t

because it leads not only the territories
but also several of the states it is not
entitled to double statehood and four
senators. Out of fthe large area and the
vast population of New York and

such logic to Springer but don't insult
the intelligent people of the northwest
with it. The proposition that Dakota's
right to admission should rest wholly
on her present status and take no ac-
count of her marvellous possibilities of

unfair. The Times itself shows this
absurdity most clearly in the following
paragraph:

Chicago Inter-Ocean, Itisseventy
years today since Illinois, the twenty
fourth state in the union, became one
of the United States. 1t had popuia-
tion of about $4,000 at that time, and
now has at least 3,5OO,OOO. In other
words. it has seventy times larger pop
ulation now than then, an average in
crease of 100 per cent. a year for the
entire ALLOTTED age of man" it has
already existed. Can any other state
make as good showing?
Illinois has reason to thank her
lucky stars that Springer had not been
born at the time she stood at the door
of the union with her paltry $4,000
people; and the Chicago Times did not
then exist to argue that she was not
entitled to statehood because she had
so few people. Dakota has increased
in population from $4,000 in 1878 to
over G50,O00 in 1888, under the most
adverse conditions, and yet It'll argued
that. with her immense area and mar
yelous resources, she is only entitled
to come in as one state, while there
need be no particular hurry about that.
The current number of uarpers
Weekly contains an instructive article
on billiards., cyclones and tornadoes by
William A. Eddy, with illustrations
showing the origin, cause and effect Of
the Dakota blizzard of last January
and its New York counterpart in
March following. The Writer reaches
this conclusion with reference to Da-
kota storms::
The Signal Service cannot warn the
people of Dakota in these emergencies,
because there are no chains of stations
in that bleak region north of the Cana
da line, from which cold wave or a
blizzard can descend upon the people
with dangerous rapidity. The blind
ing snow even by daylight is equiva-
lent to absolute darkness. Adequate
meteorological stations north of the
Canada line might result in saving
many lives, owing to timely warning!
by telegraph; otherwise life in Dakota
in midWinter must continue to be eX
tremely hazardous.
In view Of the fact that the New
York blizzard was far more destruc
tive than its Dakota predecessor, al
though that locality has the advantag
of every precautionary measure Of th
signal service, it is devoutly to be hop
ed that life in Dakota in midwinte
may never become SO extremely haz
ardous as 1t is along the Atlantic coast
to judge rot only by the storm referre
to, but by one which occurred in tina
: section two weeks since, causing nc
only great damage to shipping al
r other property but also considerabl
, loss of life.

the treaty of 1878 Of course came
into force again. The British we're
loath to give up the Treaty of
Washington because it gave
them liberty to bring salt fish in
to our ports, free of duty, and they
are now trying 10 force us to make
a new treaty which will admit their
salt fish free, in competition with
the fish Of our American fisher
men,
To bring this about it is claim
ed that they are vexing and trou-
bling our fishermen in many
ways; that they have armed yes
sells cruising about and if they find
our vessels within three miles OF
the shore, even if the crew are not
fishing. they seize the vessel and
give the owners much trouble;
that sometimes they dctain the
vessel tor long time sll then
only let GO by paying large fine;
that if a vessel goes into Cana
dian port to get wood, or water, OF
for shelter which things are al
lowed by the treaty they seize OF
detain her and make a great deal
of trouble; that they will not allow
our vessels to enter their ports
and send fish home by railroad sc
they can go out for another catch
The British claim that "three
miles from the coast means three
miles from the furthest point oi
the coast; that Is, they say that il
means a line dawn three miles of

claim that it means line draw
along the shape of the coast.
