entitled to file on the tract at any time
within three months after the filing OF
the township plat in the local land office,
and can make proof and payment for
the same on compliance with the law as
to residence and cultivation. Settlers on
unsurveyed lands are always permitted
to make entry OF the tract covered by
their improvements, in legal subdivis.
ions, no matter if after survey they are
found to be d school section. Mr.. Copp's
scheme heretofore seems to be one for
extracting money out OF settlers .on o
false theory of securing to them rights
which they already enjoy, and settlers
should be slow to be caught by any such
bate. OF course settlers who have loca-
ted on school sections knowing them to
be such, after survey has been made,
have no right to the land whatever and
are treaspassers thereon. This class OF
settlers would be benefited by such o
law as is proposed, but it is exceedingly
doubtfulif Mr.. Copp or any one else can
succeed in getting law passed by con.
gress giving ,treaspassers on school
lands, knowing them to be such, the
right to acquire title te them.

Ex-Governor Pierce, in his Dakota de-
partment of the Pioneer Press, takes
occasion to say, with q frankness thet is
certainly commendable in one who has
always been consistent anti-diyisionist,
that
We do not question the fact that divi-
sion would be preferable to majority
of the people. The subject has been
canvassed, has been submitted to vote
and has been decided in this affirmative.
That is conclusive SO far as we are con-
cerned.
From this language it might naturally
be inferred that the governor had grace
fully accepted the situation and come to
the sensible conclusion that to aoquiesce
in the expressed will OF tho people in
favor OF division and admission is the
proper thing TO do. That the subject
having been oanvassed, and submitted to
a vote, and having been decided IN the
affirmative, that should be conclusive of
the whole question. There can be no
doubt OF the soundness ef this view OF
the question. 1t cannot be successfully
controverted without striking death
blow at the vital principle of popular
goyernment-that the voice OF the ma
jority shall rule. Fhe people have
spoken. They have declared emphatic
ally for two states. "That is conclusive
so far as we are concerned" says Mr..
Pierce. From this time forward let Mr..
Pierce WELD his trenchsnt pen to voice
the expressed will OF the people Of Da.
kota. Let him aid the people to carry
cut that will--to give 1t force and effect
rather than to place stumbling block
In the way of its realization.

soaring the sugar Tru.s.

San Francisco, Gal. Feb. 3-War has
opened between the two sugar refining
companies. Before this cut was made
the American company asked z cents for
Golden O and IA cents for Extra @. The
California Company schedule called for
Sd cents and 61a cents respectively.
Last night the American Company made
a reduction of cent per pound on each
variety, placing the rate n cent lower
than that Of their rivals. To. day the Cali.
fornia Company tooh up the challenge
and quoted Golden O at 81 cents and e1-
tra o at 6 cents. 1t is believed that there
reductions will be promptly met and that
prices will drop even lower than last
season. Refiners are striving for the
trade of the fruit Gamers as well as the
general public, and have succeeded al
ready in making sugar cheaper than in
New York. II is thought that the price
of the best white varieties will decline to
or 81 cents per pound.
a telegram from New York announces
that the secretary OF the sugar trust ie
on his way to this city to induce one OF
both re6pers to enter combination, bui
| il is stated on authority that neither
company Will join the trust.

There is not much doubt that con-
gress will at its present session, materi-
ally change the present system of land
laws, and to that end the public land
committee of tbe house has formulated q
bill which will soon be reported. The
changes proposed will repeal the pre-
emption and timber culture laws, and
materially modify the homestead law.
Under the proposed changes there will
be but four classes of entries-home-
steads, desert land, timbered land and
mineral entries. The effort to do away
with the desert land entries met with
strenuous opposition and was therefore
abandoned.
