The register at some OF the fashionable

not among the forgotten things. There
is movement on foot to abolish it en-

People are buster now than they used to

guests registered their names and the
places from which they came with q good
deal Of accuracy and attention. Now
most Of the public men and generally all
lady travellers decline to allow their names
to appear on the book ct ALL They simply
give their names and places Of residence
to the clerk. who notes the same and
sticks the little card containing the in
formation in the o.iice rack. The real
object Of fine register was toaccommodate

respect has fallen into disusc. The
stranger comes in looking for a friend

The COMMITTEES sent by Yankton !

The committee sent by Yankton 20
Norfolk on railroad business-consistin
of +. j. Kahn, VIM. M. Powers and Il !.
M. GoodrIch-has faithfully executed
the duties entrusted to its Judgment.
The gentlemen comprising this commit
tee went by private conveyance from
Yankton to Norfolk and found along the
route region rich in the native re-
sources Of an agricultural and pastoral
country. They found it well settled and
well titled. They found an easy route
fof railroad. An account Of their trans
actions at N rfolk Is given in another
column. Our neighbors are enthusiastic
FOR the proposed rail connection and will
give the project their unremitting atten-
tion. The Yankton IL Southwestern
railroad company, already organized, is
the company to which construction OF
the line is entrusted by the people Of
Norfolk. They are acquainted with
some OF the gentlemen comprising that
oreaniz ition and have confidence in
them. The company is made up largely
OF eastern capitalists who decided last
fall to organize and build from Norfolk
TO Yankton. The organization Is backed
by working capital OF $4,000 900. Its
engineers will be in the field within ten
days and members of the company say
construction work will begin during the
coming summer. This line OF railroad
will prove more valuable to Yankton
than all its other expected railroads. It
will form connecting link between our
city and an extensive and growing rail-
| way system southwark and westward in
Nebraska. 1t will open the gate of q
commercial field which should make OF
Yankton an important trade center.
There can be nothing in the way OF rail.
road connections more important to us
than this. The Yankton committee did
| good weeks work. It is profitable to
call on neighbors With propositions oil
mutual advantage.

senator Davis, speech,

Minneapolis Journal: It is an old
subject--the division and admission OF
Dakota-bHt it was clothed in new
and becoming garb by the admirable
speech delivered by Senator Davis yes-
terday, a synopsis Of which is presented
in another column. It was the most
powerful presentation OF the claims OF
Dakota for justice that has yet been
made. Resti g upon facts, not depen-
dent npon party interest for strength,
the argument of Senator Davis, clothed
with the force, virility and clearnese of
expression for which he has attained
Just fame, made case which the dem.
ocrRtic naiority in congress can only
overthrow by the exercise Of voting
power influenced by the bafest Of pol
itical motives. Nothing was left undone.
Fhe growth OF the uniop OF states made
up from the great territory OF which the
whole northwest formed part was fully
explained. Dakota. with many fold the
requirements of admission Of Missouri,
Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
ii their early statehood days, is still
kept knocking et the door OF the union.
Senator Davis punoture of the ONE
state bubble ID particularly refreshing
after the hubbub which the opponents
OF division have kept up. Perhaps o
few eastern and southern democrats
we're surprised to learn the source and
weakness Of the representations upon
which they are opposing the division OF
Dakota. It is to, be hoped that they
will have the grace to mend the error OF
their ways. The one state convention as
Aberdeen can cut no figure in the dis
pensation OF justice to Dakota.
There is no answer to the arguments
OF Senator Davis, Delegate Clifford and
others for the division and admission OF
the territory, that can be based upon
truth and right. II ls merely qnes-
tion whether the political desires OF a
party shall be longer allowed to trampIe
upon the interests OF 100000 citizene
