The Burlington Road.

The Burlington Road.
For months past the people of the
Ellis have been daily expecting to hear
or SEQ something that would substantiate
| their belief that the B. & nj. road would
build to this country at an early day,
but not until nearly every prominent
journal published in Nebraska gave
1 publicity to the fact, on the 21st inst,
that the company had LET a contract for
$50 miles Of grading III Nebraska, Wy
oming and Dakota, did they receive the
long expected good news. One report
lsays that work will begin Immediately at
| Alliance on line running in north
westerly direction, the objective point
being, presumably, the coal fields on the
l.west side Of the Hills.
While ia Deadwood few days since
the editor Of the ADVERTISER obtained
information from reliable source that
the contract contemplated the grading
l-of the road to Lead City as fast as posi-
BILE to do so. Indications on every hand
confirm this report. Surveyors have
been working in the interior Of the Hills
from time to time for more than eighteen
months past and it is known they have
practically completed survey to Lead
City or near there.
The ADVERTISER is strongly inclined
to the opinion that the survey Just COM
pleted from Sturgis to a point on the
Homestake road is B. & M. project, as
this corporation will aim to command its
share Of tbs trade from every town in the
Ellis when it extends its lines into the
country.
/ Then, again, regarding the survey
just completed by Mr.. Andrews there is
q possibility that it is movement on the
part Of the r., E. 8 M. v. company, as
it is a fact well known that this corpora
ton would not lay idle and let strong
competitor encroach upon its territory
and absorb the largest per cent of the
traffic. At all events Sturgis is going to
get the Bear Butte canyon road in a few
months, and if the B. &. M. does not
build it, the line will be built SO close to
that road that we will feel the good
effects Of the great Burlington system.
Following is a special sent from Ali
ance, Neb., under date of November 20:
Alliance is in great state Of excitment
over the arrival OF large number of
teams and men to begin work on the
Black Hills extension Of the Burlington
road. Ssvral weeks ago General Mana
ger Holdredge made secret trip from
the Black Hills to this point in company
with several contractors. 1T was then gem
orally believed that orders for work would
soon follow. The line as surveyed runs
northwesterly from Alliance and crosses
the Pine ridge southeast of Crawford,
Nebraska From that point it runs
westerly around the Western Black Hills
10 tho coal fields. The contractors say
that orders have been given to push
construction.
The last issue Of the Oslrichs advocate
contained the following:
This week the Burlington and Mis-
souri, purchased Of Mrs. Fannie O'Lynn
her farm, located five miles from Chad
ron, at the point where the Fremont,

STATEHOOD.

5s5sl7
Since the election Of Harrison Dako.
tans all over the territory have caught
their second wind on the important issue
Of admission Of the great territory as two
states, and already mass meeting have
been held in large number Of cities and
towns throughout Dakota, and resolu-
tions passed favoring statehood at the
earliest possible moment.
In South Dakota the sentiment Has
been unanimously in favor Of admission
under the Sioux Falls constitution
adopted in 1885. While there are few
objections to this document, all concede
it is best to be admitted under it than to
delay matters for months in order tc
frame new constitution and get il rati-
fed by the people. It will be infinitely
better and wiser to ask and crowd admis-
sion of South Dakota on this issue, and
amend the constitution after we secure
statehood, than to take chances on any
other proposition. delays are danger
ous' is an axiom that must be kept fore
most in mind until we accomplish the
object for which we have labored hard
for years.
Although North Dakota opposed the
+ :. - II :
course Of South Dakota in framing the
constitution in 1885, she is now taking
active steps TO place herself on an equal
footing with us, and contemplates hold
ing constitutional convention as soon
as the territorial legislature will allow
her to do so.
A meeting was held at DeadwooGl
Saturday night to further this cause, and
the following resolution adopted:
Resolved, That the people Of Law
ernce county, D. T., most earnestly urge
the present congress to pass the senate
bill known as the s.Platt Bill' for the
admission of South Dakota under the
Sioux Falls constitution, and that in
case such bill or a similar bill is not
passed the present session OF congress,
then we respectively request and urge
the president of the United States to call
an extra session of congress in which
South Dakota may be admitted under
the Sioux Falls constitution.

The mugwumps submitted minority
report, but it was voted down. In this
connection it can be trllthfully stated
that the men who presented this report
represent the small faction OF kickers, that
only a'few years since clamored for adj
mission as whole; that tried 10 capture
the county convention that sent dele
gates to Waterfowl; that used every Of
fort in an underhanded way to get a
third ticket in the field in Lawrence
county this fall, and other like political
rascality not necessary TO refer to at
present.
Such republicanism as this gang pro-
fesses is blotch upon the body polite
Of Lawrence county that is disgrace to
the Black Hills. This element is as
dangerous to the party as anarchy Is to
society.
And the Deadwood papers, politically
they are conumdrums.

The Dakota question has simply resol-
we'd itself into this: n an extra session
Of congress is held South Dakota can be
Immediately admitted under the adopted
constitution and enabling acts can be
passed for North Dakota and The other
territories. III an extra session is not
called, it viii then be clearly the duty
Of the forthcoming territorial Legislature
to provide for the holding Of b consitd-
tional convention for North Dakota next
summer. Both sections win then be
ready for statehood as soon as congress
year from this winter can sek the ma
chinery in motion. This is the whole
question in nutshell. Bismarck Tri-
bune.
The theory that some one will be rec
ognized as delegate from North Dakota
does not assume more plausible phases
in consequence Of the election. If there
| is division, the two sections will be adj
mitted substantially at the same time,
and there will be no occasion for the or
ganization Of territory Of the North.

Congressman William Springer, chair
man Of the committee on territories, says
that Dakoto. Montana, Washington and
New Mexico will be admitted this winter.
He is Of the opinion that the democrats
made mistake by not admitting these
territories last winter. He favors the
admission Of Dakota only as whole.
Bills cherished hopes in this respect will
not be realized. Seven hundred thou

EDITOR REPoRTER:-Sir, while we
confess to a lutte soreness, over our
recent national election. yet It is with
feelings of pride we can reflect that our
own state Came again 10 the front with
an old time democratic majority.
And yet sir, it lie more gratifying still,
to think that our own county. through
the efforts of former son of hers, is of
right entitled to very great portion OF
the honor OF this victory for our stare.
we allude OF course. to The a5la canvass
OF this district by the Hon. Z. s. Cam

extolled by the press OF our state, for
the able an efficient manner in which
ne discharged the duties assigned him
ID the late Presidential struggle. From

rious other points, we hear the plaudits
OF we'll done land now from old Burnt
Mills the exultaat note is taken up and

the utmost limits of the state. 1t was
our good fortune sir, to hear a speech
from this gifted young man few DAYS
previous to the closing of the campaign,
anc can we'll and truthfuily say, that it
was most exhaustive, lucid and logical
speech on the taliff question. it has ever
fallen to our lot TO hear. Old citlzens
around Burnt Mills pronounce 1t the
best speech ever delivered at that place.
But we hasten to conclude, by throw
ing 10 few verses picked up, we can
hardly tell how nor where, but you have
