Grading contractors who do work for
the Manitoba are waiting in Sioux Falls
for the spring to open under the asBur-
anoe that there will be plenty of work
during the summer. II Is the habit of
the Manitoba to survey its summer work
during the winter months. The only sur
vey made for the Manitoba the present
winter is the survey now being COM
pIeted between Sioux Falls and Yankton
and after this is finished the party ex-
poets to cross the Missouri and proceed
with the southwessward extension. So
the only work being made ready for the
graders is en- the Denverward line via
Yankton. This fact in itself is ample
confirmation of the expectations of Yank.

sonal assurances OF the president of the

A letter from Senator Farwell is given
in this Issue, accompanied by some re-
marks by General Campbell. Senator
Farwell states the situation tersely in
the concluding sentence OF his letter,
There Is no present hope OF statehood
for Dakota or for the two Dakotss. The
issue must first be made national issue.
Tie oid struggle for the rights of Kan
sss and Nebraska must be repeated and
the democratic majority must be absc-
lutely forced to yield before there can
be any hope for the establishment of
statehood sovereignty upon the soil
of the Dakotas. General Campbell
outlines plan through which Da-
kota may take the initiatiye in the
struagle, and Dakota must lead il it ex-
poets the people OF the states to take
up it's osuse IN earnest. Thus far we
have done nothing in the right direction.
We heYe asked, petitloned, implored-
have presented our case bristling all
over with facts and arguments which
establish our right to local self govern
ment. What does the democratic ma
jorlty in congress care for all this 80 long
as recognition of the right we invoke

no reason to suppose that the demonra

to its heart or its conscience or its sense

The Dakota SITUATION,

Statements FROM senator Farweil
Nc Present Hepe for Dakota's Ad-
mission.
United States senate, Washington, D.
O., Feb. /, lSss--E. M. Thomas, Esq, /,
Huron, Dak.: My Dear Sir--I am in
receipt OF Jour letter OF recent date re-
lating to the division and admission OF
Dakota. lnrssponse thersto, l am of
the opinion that as the electoral vote of
Dakota would be factor in the presi-
densial elections, the democratic house
OF representatives will pass no bill that
will admit Dakota as one state, much
less to divide and admit as two. The
policies the democratic party are formed
and dominated by the men of the sonth !;
they are the body and brains OF the party
and, with them in the foreground, with
the record they have made in getting In
to power in this government on fraudu-
lent titles, by snppresslHg the vote and
manipulating the ballot box, could you
or any other Dakotaisn believe for a
moment that they would have any
scrnples in denying TO republican Dak-
ota admission as state so long as the
possibility Of the electoral vote menaced
their continuance in power? What
they want is to control and, as political
history for twenty-five years past shows
the fact that they, are willing to march
through corruption and scatter the
blood OF the innocent for what they
have secured, shows that they would
not hesitate to throttle this little affair.
Is 10 my opinion that Dakota will
never be admitted until the good people
OF the northern states, in the dominant
party, are aroused to a sense of the fact
that the southern end OF their party
are outraging the rights OF your people
as they did in the Kansas aud Nebraska
troubles. simply to keep the power OF
governments in their own hands. And
until the issue is squarely made upon
the floor OF the house aud charged upon
them, by your press, ETC.. that the frs,
democratic administration is found re-
enseting the old Kansas tactics of fore
ing in, or keeping out, which ever would
continue power, and which led to the
war of the rebellion, you can have nc
hopes I fear.
| J. will lend the plan of division ant
admission my aid, in the senate.

GENERAL oAMpBHIn ooMMErrs.

To the Press & Dakotaian: The en-
closed letter OF Senator Farwell is OF
extreme Importance to the people OF
Dakota. 1t expresses the situation ex-
actly. Dakota has no hopes until the
people or the country are aroused to the
situssion. That is as trus as gospel
equally true is the proposition, which
follows from il. That the northern pso-
pie will not take up the cause Of Dakota
until the people or Dakota take up their
own cause, as did the people OF Kansas
and make an Issue. which the people OF
ca the country can see.

question square in,ths face.

Two Ways. Choose Which,

There are two usual ways of doing what Ma

relieve the bowels, One is to swallow a drastic
purgative which evnruatss profusely. abruptly
and with pain, the other is to tako Hostetter's
Stomach B tiers, the effect of which is not vio-
lent, but sutncisntly thorough and which does
not gripe the intestinea. If tho frstts seleoted,
the person employing it need not expect per-
manent benefit, and he cannot hope to esoape

the other hand, he resorta TO tue Bitters, be

by, as they did the one before last, with
out an organized movenet t, to elect q
territorial legislature, which will have the
manhood and independence and intelli-
genoe to take Che steps necessary TO
frame such an issue, they will not have
another chance for three more years.
The words OF Senator Fsrwell are
grave, weighty and suggestive.
They are notices TO every business in
terest of Ysnkton, Sioux Falls, Huron
Waterfowl. Mitchell, Pierre and Of all
north aid south Dakota, that, whatever
steps are necessary to the wsy of state
government to relieve their burdens and
disabilities. and to add to their growth,
they must prepare to take themselves, as
Kansas did. In word, whatever is to
be done in the next three years for
statehood by the Dakotas, must be done
in the next three months.

An editorial article in recent issue
OF the Chicago Times mentions the fact
that there is no state within the United
States operating under constitutional
provision prohibiting the taxation of
property. The Times suggests that
some OF the new states created from the
territories enter the union under consts-
tutions which provide public revenue
under some other system than the taxa
ton of property, ss commonly praotioed.
Such an innovation upon the customs Of
the sisterhood of the republic could Ger.
tainly spopularizs the stnte adopting the
idea. People do not like to pay taxes
and would flock In large numbers to q
new western state operated upder q
prohibition against the taxation of prop.
erty. The Dakota boom could be ever
iastingly prolonged under such an ar
rsngement. But the project commends
itsel in many ways aside from its ad-
vertislng features. Taxation OF prop
erty, usually heavy in the west, impedes
improvement, for under the system in
vogue the more property owner inn
proves the heavier his tax burden ia
made. This is probably the most prom
insnt evil arising from the popular
method OF securing public revenue
and that it serves to retard development
need not be said.
That o state can exist without 1evying
tribute upon the property Of its residents
IS demonstrated in the experience OF the
| nation, which fnds itself in possession
of greater revenue than it needs fol
current expenses without imposing /
tax upon the property Of its people
England furnishes another example o
the ability OF great government.to ex.
ist and thrive through taxation process
which collects no dues from land or per
soral property.
Some Of the states are almost sustain
ed from percentage oil the earnings o
theiE railroads. The small balanc
needed to pay expenses could bs raise
| by simple system OF internal reyenu
and proparty oonld go untaxed for stat
support. The same principle could b
lapplied 30 countiea and communities

and property thereby relieved of burr
dens which tend to retard its Develop
ment. Tho Chicago Times says:
Should new state adopt constitu-
tion prohibiting the taxation OF property,
1T would soon become the richest part of
the union. The tax burdened citizens
Of every state and territory would flock
to it. Before ten years had passed, every
state would see the necessity OF abolish
ing taxes on property. Let some ter
ritory try the experiment.

wreathed in smiles over complimentary

men cussed and said the Sentinel only
noticed few pampered pets, and they'd
be blamed if they didn't stop taking the
old paper anyhow" As an economic pol
icy based upon sound financial principles
the personal column is now a defunct
feature of the Sentinel. We can't see
any reason or sound sense in gaining the
i'll will OF thirty-six good citizens simply
for the purpose of being thought well of
by four ordinary mortals. No SIRE! the

thing of that kind we'll be pleased to
thank him for his generosity.-Arcadia
