paid within 3 months after the day on which it has become due,
the right of using the pow is to be considered as gwen up by the

the pew is to be rented out in good time to another person, the right
of the Church, however, to claim payment from the Withdrawing
party of pew rent already due and for the current quarter, being,
at the same time, reserved. In the event Of the death Of a pew
renter, the ChurchB claim against his estate for pew rent due, and
for the current hafyear is to be made without delay; the pews as
a rule, are to be rented by the year, from the LIST Of January to the
31st of December, but may be given up by the renter either on the
Both of June or on the 31st of December, not, however, with less
than 3 months notice, which must therefore be given before the LIST
of April or the LIST of October.
A new renter coming in during the course Of the year has to
nav only for the current halfyear.
1t is the duty of the persons concerned to see that vacant
pews are rented as soon as possible.

THE ADMISSION PLANK.

1t is asserted by some of the Repub-
ican papers that the promises in the
Democratic platform in reference to the
division of the territory after admission
as one state, is only the common right
OF the people in all the states. The Ian
guage of the resolution is:
We favor the passage by congress at an
earl! DAY OF an enabling act looking to the
speedy admission of Dakota as one state with
provision reserving the right to our peopIe
al any time TO consider the propriety of its
dlvislon into Two states, and we arraign the
Republican party FORTS policy of obstruction
which has thus Tar resulted in preyentIng
the admission of Dakota TO the sisterhood Of
states.
IN no state except Texas has this priv
ilege been reserved. That state has
always had the right to subdiyide itself
into five states, and the only restriction
congress has upon its action is to require
that the state constitutions and equip
ment shall have the usual republican
form. No disposition has been shown
In Texas to divide, and secure the eco
nomlcal advantages alleged of small
states. Her people prefer to remain
one grand, imperial commonwealth.
Possibly the apprehension of a
similar disposition i'm Dakota NAV
have something to do with the
opposition to the policy of this platform.
1t is substantially the method urged i'm
these colums for several months past.
1t recognizes the urgency of the need of
statehood, and approves the only
course that promises its early attain

WILL VOTE FOR HIM.

Many of the papers that stand in with
the high monopoly element in general
politics, are painfully disqueted and
humidly SolicitOus lest the Farmers
alliance shall imperil its usefulness and
even existence by getting its hand into
politics. The apprehension that specially
exercises them is that Mr.. HARDEN
may be indorSed for congress. So far
as any formal action by the alliance is
concerned, they are needlessIy alarmed.
The alliance is, like the u. A. r., nom
partisan body. The individual men,
berS of the latter do gOOd deal of
figuring in partisan movements but as
old soldiers or citizens. The members
of the alliance will have something to
do with political affairs this year-as
farmers and citizens. The alliance will
not indOrSe or require its members to
vote for any particular candidate for
delegate. They can vote for HARDEN,
CRAAiNER, OF the Watertown nominee
without affecting their standing in the
organization. 1t would, however, be
surprising if the great majority
of them dld not prefer the
one who is with them in interests
and purposes. Mr.. HARDEN has their
confidence to the extent that they in
trust him with one of their most respon-
Sibe Offices. He has been associated
with them in all their efforts for the
welfare of the producers, and knowing
him as a man of sterling worth and the
representative of policies promotive of
their good, it would be strange if they
did not quite generally vote for him. He
has never been a politician or office
seeker, and this nomination comes to
him as recognition of his worth and
special fitness to serve his fellow citi-
ZenS. In popular estimation he Will be
accredited as the representative OF the
agricultu al interests quite as much as
the exponent of any political policy, and
his success will measurably be that of
the class with which he is identified in
vocation. Republican friends need not
fret their sympathetic spirits over the
peril they fancy will overtake the organi-
Zation of the farmers in case they recip-
rocate the consideration shown in the
nomination of one of their number by
voting for him.

HOW THEY STAND.

Probably no man in the Dakota
Farmers Alliance has more of the eon-
fidence of the members, or can speak for
them with more authority than Mr..
CHASE, the official lecturer of the
alliance and member of the National
Farmers Alliance committee. At Grand
Forks the past week he was interviewed
by the Plaindealer, the morning Re
publican paper, and gave this statement:
The farmers of Dakota are for tariff re-
form. Our alliance is a unit on that point.
Politically, have always been Republican.
but do not and cannot indorse the platform
of The Republican party at the Chi
cago convention. Have you ever met
Mr.. HARDEN, the Democratic nomi-
nee for delegate to congress! He is
all excellent man, and has been an active
worker i'll our alliance for the past three
years. He is a fluent talker, a good platform
debater and a university graduate and in
every way would make us creditable repre-
sentative in congress. Being a. ked if the
Farmers alliance would support him. he re-
piled that il would not indorse him. neither
would it support him as an alliance but that
he individually was going TO support him,
aud he thought that every other alliance
member would do the same can see no
reason why Mr.. HARDEN will not be elected as
our next representative in congress.

DEADwOOD, July 20.-Interest Is ex-
cited in the arrest and preliminary ex-
animation before United States Com
missioner Jones, of DR.. w. C. White,
until few days since postmaster at
Carbonate Camps. DR.. White is short
in his accounts SS54.4 ,and as heIpleaded
guilty to the formal charge of embeZzle-
ment. will probably go over the road.
The case will be tried, and unless
compromise is effected, sentence passed
at the coming term of the United States
court, which convenes here Aug. Z.
DIR. White is pioneer to the country
and has hitherto been held in the high
est esteem. His fail is traceable to his
too convivial nature, and the dispOsi-
tion frequently indulged to llnger in
attention to the flowing bowl. The
affair is widely regretted, and much
sympathy is felt and expressed for his
wife and children. 1t is whispered that

by the Bullion and Merritt mines.

held, none of it now being in the

expected home from New York Satur-
