DAKOTA,S ADMISSION

1t is doubtful whether fairer or a
better condensed statement has ever
been submitted to a congressional COM
mittec than that presented by Mr..
JOHNSON, OF Aberdeen, in his argument
before the house committee on terri
tories in support of the SPRINGER bill.
which provides for the admission of Da
kOta as one state. The committee have
under consideration three distinct bills
on the subject of Dakota's admission.
the SPRINGER bill above alluded to. the
BAKER bill providing for the ready
made state of South Dakota, and the
CLIFFORD bill providing for the
admission Of North Dakota. In ex-
planning why, in his opinion.
the committee should be agreed upon
the SPRINGER bill, Mr.. JOHNSON began
with history of the settlement of Da-
kota, i'll which he showed that before
Central Dakota was open to settlement
at all, and before the territory had been
reached by railroad communication,
there were only two settlements in the
territory, one in the extreme northern
part and the other in the southern part
1t was but natural, under such condi-
tons, that feeling in favor of division
should exist. But later Oh, when the
great tide of immigration in 1sSl-S2
poured into the territory, when Central
Dakota, the erstwhile desert, bloomed
out into land flowing with milk and
honey, when the railroads pen
etrated the territory and brought
the people into close social and busi-
ness communication. the division septj-
ment died out. The division question
was only famed into existence for DO
litical purposes. Selfish politicians had
managed, by tricks only known in the
school of politics, to combine the divis-
ion question with LEGAL option, and thus
attempt to make a respectable parade
Of votes in favor of it. In this they sig

TWIN CITY CONFERENCE.


There is to be little sparkling bee
this afternoon between St. Paul and
Minneapolis. This being leap year, the
fair Minneapolis is coming down to hear
what proposal the ruddy-faced st. Paul
has to make. 1t is going to be a square,
Old-faShioned cOurtship, without any of
the diplomatic ceremonies which char
acterize modern lovemaking. The
young lovers are going to sit down to-
gether on the same sofa and Irvine their
arms around each other, Just as court
ing couples used to do in the old DAYS.
They are going to talk sense, too.
There bill be no SpOony-spOony
sluSh or ''BUNNIE" ARBUCKLE stopping
over. Like two sensible young people
they will talk over the cares and re-
sponsibilities of married life, the ex-
penSes of housekeeping, the necessity
for compatibility of temper between
married people, and the thousand and
one things that lovers are apt to forget
before marriage, but of which they are
forcibly reminded soon after. This is
the kind Of courtship we take it will
be done dt the sparkling bee in the
chamber of commerce this afternoon.
The GLOBE does not propose to antici-
pate the result of the conference be-
tween the two committees. Even if
there should be betrothal, we are sat
isfied that there will be plenty of time
before the marriage ceremony is cele-
DRAFTED to discuss all the phases of the
municipal union. But there is one
suggestion that we do desire to
make in case the young lovers
should decide that it is not wise
for them to enter into marital re-
lations at this time. Our suggestion re-
lateS to the establishment of a Twin
City board of trade or chamber of COM
merce. or whatever name they choose to
give it, which shall consist of an equal
representation from each city, and
which shall have the power to act in all
matters relating to the joint interests of
st. Paul and Minneapolis. AS indicated
in the GLOBE few days ago, there are
certain interests requiring the united
support of the two cities. In the
maintenance of our commercial suprem-
acy we must stand together and make
common cause against Chicago in its
effort to wrest power from us. There
are many other questions demanding
our united action, and we must devise
some plan by which we can be brought
into the most harmonious relations as
the occasion requires.
This can best be done by the estab-
liShment of such body as we have in
Dictated.

The Lightning Courtesy.

A recent reception at the White house
ON Thursday night was almost at an end

Mrs. Cleveland shook hands with her.

THE DULL STOCK MARKET.

Ihe reason for the dizziness at present
existing in the New York stock market.
of which the operators so bitterly COM
plain, is not far to seek. 1t lies in the
fact that not only is the general public
tired of being fleeced, but it has found
more legitimate and more regularly
profitable channels in which, to invest
its money. 1t has learned the lesson
that temporary gain, to be followed by
a succession of losses, does not pay, and
that as rule it can not hope to beat the
professional stock gamblers at their own
game. People have observed. too, that
there are opportunities for securing a
substantial return upon their capital
lying outside of the stock exchange that
present little or no risk.
The experience of hundreds has
shown them that in any of the growing
Western cities whose prosperity is not
founded upon the baSeleSs fabric of
boom, but upon the demands of the sur
invested with safety and with profit;
while in some of them, such as st. Paul
and Minneapolis, the returns, Judged
from Eastern standards, are little less
than phenomenal. Having discovered
this fact, it is not strange that investors
are taking advantage of it. In this
sense, then, the dizziness of the metro
pOlitan stock market means the in
creased prosperity of the country. Per-
hapS ii some of the wolves who have
grown rich upon the speculation whose
decrease they now deplore would fol-
low the example of the former lambs
and seek Western investments, they
would have less reason to complain.

High Tide at ST. Paul.

ST. PAUL, April l2,-The water in the Mis-
sissippi passed the danger line for the people
on the fats on the Northwest side of the riv-
er at 3 O'Clock this morning. One or two
families moved out yesterday. but before
daylight this morning number found it
necessary to yacate their shanties., The wa
ter rose two feet between and O'Clock this
morning the people who live in that part of
the city are foreigners-Scandinayi Itai-
ians Bohcmians, Germans, and are very
poor. Some of the houses are scarcely more
than 6xs feet in size, and of the most frail
construction.
At O'Clock many families were moving
out, the water standing at l3 feet at the sig
nal service gauge. This within one foot of
the danger line and 81 feet higher than the
highest point reached last year The water
is rising this afternoon at the rate of three
quarters of an inch per hour.
Danger from flood on the flats west of

WASHINGTON, April l0.-The Democratic
Washington Post, in commenting on the
amendments TO the dependent pension bill,
agreed to by the House committee yesterday,
closes with the remark that the dependent
pension bill is dead so far as this Congress is
concerned II has been believed all along
that the Democrats did not intend 10 allow
any pension bills except private and individ-
existence of that belief was mentioned in a
dispatch 10 the Press at the time the depend
ent pension bin was passed by the Senate,
but it was hardly expected that the Demo-
Gratis would publicly announce their inten-
ton to defeat it,
President Cleveland must be spared the
necessity Of passing upon any general pen
sion bills before the election. Ii is true that
the failure of the House to pass this bill
which has been prepared by the Grand Army
of the Republic, and which by its very terms
must commend itselfto the support of every
patriotic man-nay cause the Democratic
party TO lose some votes. But the enbar-
rassment will not be nearly as great as the
Democratic leaders fear that it might be if
the bill was sent to President Cleveland for
his signature. The remork of the Post to-
day is a formal notice to the country that
Union soldiers need expect nothing from the
present Congress or Administration.

Twenty Wives.

DETROIT, MIcH., April l2.-on December
% license was granted by the clerk of
Wayne county for the marriage of William
Brown. of Cleveland, aged forty, and Mrs.
Robertson. of this city. About two weeks
later the bride called upon the minister who
performed the ceremony with the request
for duplicate of her marriage certificate,
stating that her husband had stolen the orr
ginal and fled. About this time the county
clerk received circular from the authorities
at Pontiac, Michigan, warning him TO look
out for J. w. Brown, who was roaming
around seeking whom he might marry. He
did not appear until March "a, by which
time the warning had been forgotten. The
couple were duly married and left the city
for Monroe. Detectives have been at work
for several days, and as result of the inves-
tigation, ii is said not less than 20 victims of
Browns matrimonial ventures have been
discovered, among them one at Pontiac, one
at Kalamazoo. one at Grand Rapids. two at
Detroit and one at Niagara Falls.
