Concerning the admission of Utah
there are diverse opinions entertained
by gentlemen on both sides of the
house. One plan which meets with
favorable consideration is, that Utah
shall be annexed to Nevada, as recently
suggested in an interview furnished
the GLOBE, in order. to habilitate that
commonwealth. Nevada. as a state, is
a traveSty upon our Institutions. 1t is,
indeed, rotten borough, with a voting
population of less than $4,000. The
annexation of Utah will make a state
of Nevada, and willfgive to it that de-
gree of consideration in the national
councils which it has never yet at
tanned. As at present constituted, Ne
vada is failing and fading out of sight.
There is nothing to increase its pOpula-
ton. Utah is a growing country, and
constantly increasing in population. 1t
should be annexed to Nevada. That
will be the ultimate solution of the
Utah problem. S. ID. F.

RAPID CITY, OAK. Dec. 21.-An Oc-
casional faint echo of the late campaign
may be heard now and then. but in the
main the people are commencing to for
get that such thing as an election
transpired this year. About the only
reason the matter should be preached
at all is furnished by the efforts of the
Republicans of Fall River county to
show that they did not knife Patton and
Trude, candidates for the lower house.
Fall River county went to the district
convent on with a candidate, DR.. Stew
art, and he was knocked out. 1t is
charged, and not without reason, that
Pennington county had much to do
with sitting DR.. Stewards aspirations
to second term. AT any rate, the Fall
River people
WENT HOME MAD,
So did the Spearfish people. Their
man-and Deadwood's-JOhn Walz-
matte, was laid aside for Trude, of
Butte county. Bower, of Caster county,
received the place on the ticket that
Stewart wished to occupy. lie alter
wards withdrew, and Clark, of the same
county, was substituted. Inc DtIio-
Gratis, taking advantage of the fight thus
started. aroused Dudley, of Fall River,
as one of their candidates for the house.
Election came, and Dudley got all the
votes in Fall River county, and Patton
got none. Deadwood also gave Dudley
majority, as well as the other Demo
cratic candidates for the house. Pen
nington county. however, came up with
a u,1od rOupd majority for Patton. and
he was elected. Ever since that time
the Stewart people and the Deadwood
people have been endeavoring to con-
vince the Pattonites that the whole
thing was just for fun, and that they
were for Patton all the time. There
are some incredulous folks out here
who are inclined to laugh just a little
at the asseverations of answering 10y
atty to the Republican ticket, which
come from some men whose attitude i'll

RAPID CITY, Dec. 21.-People here
have given themselves over to the quiet
easy enjoyment of the Christmas holt
days. There is but little going on out
side of holiday trade, and no one seems
to be greatly inclined to talk or do busi-
ness. The various schemes for the adj
vancement of the country are incubat
ing slowly, and will doubtless hatch
out in good time. So long as the pres
ent balmy weather continues no one
seems to care much whether school
keeps or not. After Jan. 1 there will
be many lively movements in the
carrying out of different plans
now nearly matured. The work of the
year just closing is eminently Satisfac-
tory, and the promise for next year is
great.
The presence of well-known citizen
of this place in London in connection
with-a tin company formed there, and
which has already spent some 500, 900
in acquiring property here. has given
rise to great deal of speculation. The
tin question comes nearer and nearer
solution every day. More men are &C
lively engaged in development at pres
ent than ever before, and there is no
good reason to d ubt that Black Hills
tin will be regularly on the worlds mar
ket before another year shall close.

returned from his campaign trip to the

people in regard to DakOta's future.
He predicts that special session will
be called for the division and admission
of both North and South Dakota. The
territory, he thinks, was entitled to

of its political complexion as was Michi-
gan years ago from the same cause. He
said that North Dakota's population en-
titled her to two senators, two repre-
sentatives and four votes in the cleo
toral college, and that within very
short period these rights would be
freely granted. Just previous TO his re-
turn he visited the

lief that Gen. Harrison has q most
thorough and comprehensive knowledge
of the territOry-her resources, public
men and possible future. He THINKS
the generals knowledge of Dakota
affairs is far greater than that of those
who journey from the territory to In
dianapolis to impart knowledge. Col.
Plummer said:
''Mr. Harrison is undoubtedly one of
the best posted men OH affairs pertain
ing to the territory, and suggestions
from men with less knowledge and
ability will hardly have the effect de-
sired. His son, Russell b. Harrison. is

SPECIAL to the Globe.
ABERDEEN, Dec. 21.-The question of
admission here, as elsewhere in the ter
ritory, is the absorbing theme of dis
cussion. If the people of Aberdeen, if
they were to be characterized as to their
position upon the question, might prop
erly be designated as 'admissionists,"
that is to say, the desire for admission
is more pronounced than the sentiment
as to the manner of admission. In
Huron. and some other towns of South
ern Dakota, to declare oneself III favor
of admission as whole is in popular
estimation an OffenSe second only to
that of treason; but in Aberdeen senti-
ment is divided, and the people gener-
orally hold that SO great are the adj
vantages to be secured by admission
that the peculiar method and form are
subsidiary questions.
A local paper recently interviewed
some score or more of leading citizens
upon the question, and a majority de-
clared that they expected to see the ter
ritOly divided. The city is far from en-
thusiastic over the matter, but dlspo-
sition is manifested to accept the boon
that congress has so long denied us,
without conditions. A number of those
Interviewed remain true to early con-
victions, and refuse to swing gracefully
upon the band wagon, which is appar-
emily about to start.
That there is quite an element who
approve division upon principle cap not
he denied. The best informed men
seem to think that an attempt to admit
the territory through division will be
met with
OPPOSITION FROM THE SENATE.
AS one gentlemen stated, it: rs it
probable that senators from such states
as New York and Pennsylvania will as
sent to plan by which Dakota will Sc
cure senatorial representation double
that of their own state?"
When the question comes up there
will be square fork in the roads, one
of which leads up to party strength; the
other towards selfish sectional interests.
1t is certainly a question for specula-
ton which OF. the two roads the Eastern
senators will take.
Only year since a large and enthusi-
astic convention assembled at Aberdeen
TO advocate the admission of Dakota as
whole. 1t is surprising to note the APP
parent change of sentiment since that
time, and if the question of manner of
admission was really as important as it
is claimed to be, Dakotians would be
chargeable with that volatile temper
which only becomes the Frenchman.
But all have not changed. That di-
vision will encounter opposition of a
vigorous type. and in proof of the fact
the following suggestions as to new
house bill are given in full. The text

Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Dec. 21.-The district court,
Judge Mcconnell presiding. has been
very busy the past week. Criminal
cases were taken up Monday morning
and have been continued through the
week. Among others was the trial of
Charles Rankin for the abduction of
Lille Warner. girl only thirteen years
of age, from her home near Mapleton.
This villain, who had always been
treated with the utmostkiDdneSS by Mr..
and Mrs. Warner, took advantage of
their good treatment and confidence,
took this innocent girl from her home,
and went to Davenport TO get married,
but finding the justice too much of
man to engage in such work. sought
out an imbecile in the town of Warren,
called him up at between IL and IL
o'clock and had the marriage ceremony
performed, He then returned to Daven-
port with this poor girl, where Deputy
Sheriff Barnes found and arrested him.
At the time of the arrest he and his
victim were occupying the same room
as man and wife. The despicable viii
lain, after all this, had the hardihood to-
INSULT THE FATHER {

brief, the accusations being admitted by

excuse was that he ''loved her So" 1t
took the jury lust fifteen minutes to

was in the affair. and Judge Mcconnell
will put on the finishing touch when he

The scene in court was of such nature
as to bring tears to the eyes of the most

the fathers eyes showed a grief too
deep for description. while the neigh

culprit to atoms before the eyes of the

escaped with his miserable life is
mystery, and even now. if he reaches

W hen conventions meet, and the anti
Moody men think that they have every

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-If the river
and harbor bill is passed during the
present session it will be vetoed. That
is the rumor which is going the rounds
to-day, and it is traced to the White
house, too, for its origin. 1t is stated
that the president allowed the last bill
to become law without his signature,
mainly because he had not time to eX-
anime it thoroughly, and did not want
to make the mistake of stopping all pub
lie Improvements without being able to
give full reasons for veto. But since
congress adjourned he has examined
the bill, and thinks that enough was
appropriated to last at least two years.
Ergo, it is more than likely that no bill
will be passed this year.
