Dakota is as magnanimOuS as it is
big. 1t cheriShes no grudge against
any of the narrow-visioned people in
the East who have magnified its Occa-
SiOnal storms and sought to utilize them
to deter home seekers from migrating
West. Its generous Sympathies are
stirred and its warm heart chilled at
the tales of wreck and woe caused by
the pitileSS March tempestS that have
swept the Atlantic slope so ruthlessly
the week past. From its overlooking
StorehouSeS it offers SuccOr and cheer
to those who suffer, and its hand is out
stretched to invite them to a land of
brightness and plenty, that is basking
and opening spring while the disaS-
trouS storm forces riot over the
East. 1t is good time to urge
the advantages of Dakota as an
all-around, all-the-year land. 1t is a
peculiarly good time to diffuse Dakota
literature-not the colOred picturings of
the imaginative and facetious-but the
unvarnished but marvellous stories of
figures and facts. The spectacular de-
pictions of paper city builders or real
estate spectators are not the most use
full and effective. The experience of
plain, trustworthy settlers, and publica-
lions like those of Commissioner Nc
CLURE, are best designed to secure con-
iidence and promote desired results.
While the people of Dakota feel the
utmost sympathy with their distressed
N i'm
prove the occasion to dissipate the inn
preston that they are more liable than
other sections to the ravages of the UNI
bridled elements. Billiards like that of
last January are as infrequent
i'll Dakota as storms such as have just
swept the Atlantic states are there.
Lives were lost and property destroyed
in both, but in Dakota these were at
tributable almost entirely to the alb
sence of the protection afforded by long
settlement and the contiguity of pOpu-
lation and the landmarks of teeming
life. None persisted in the streets of a
town. The snowfall was measured by
inches rather than feet, and after the
whirl of few hours business activi-
ties resumed their wOnted channel. The
loss of life in Dakota was due to condi-
tions that will be entirely obviated long
before the country districts are one
fourth as thickly settled as those Of the
East. Such snowfall as that re-
ported in New York, Philadelphia and
the Atlantic region is unknown in Da-
kota. The great continental line which
crosses the entire territory has
at no time the past winter been OBJ
structed more than a few hours by rea-
son of snow ON the Dakota portion of it..
The blockades to travel have been
chiefly in the connections east and south
of the territory. Nor has the velocity Of
the wind been greater there than re-
ported in the Eost. 1t is time that in
telligent people everywhere were dis
abused of the impression that the Da-
kota blizzard is more to be feared than
al Iowa, Illinois OF New York blizzard.
1t comes no oftener and is no more per-
il0uS to lite OF property.

JAMESTOWN, March 16.-W. A. Frid-
ley, of Steele, who is the new member
of the insane asylum board, is county
treasurer of Kidder county, having held
that Office for two terms. He is one of
the most popular men of his section of
the country, and the appointment is
looked upon with general favor. 1t is
another instance where Gov. Church has
shown recognition for the younger ele-
ment of the party. If Cleveland can't
get Church delegation from Dakota, or
rather Church can't get a Cleveland del
egatiOn which is said to be one and the
same thing, the signs Of the times are

LET THEM DECIDE.

If the territory is to be divided in Or
der to satisfy the demands Of the peo-
pie in the aggregate or the majority in
one section, there should be regard had
to the wishes of the counties near the
dividing line as to which section they
shall be included with. 1t has been as
sumed all the time that if there is to be
dissection of the territory the forty-sixth
parallel or seventh standard must be
the line. The only special reason for
dividing Oh this is that the two sections
will be about equal in area. This is UNI
important, as it is not material that
exact equality of territory should be
considered in shaping new states.

Omnibus Bill an Insult.
Flandrau Enterprise

FIandrau Enterprise.
The Democrats in congress certainly
fail to show a disposition to treat Da-
kota fairly. If they allowed the bill for
the admission of Dakota as whole to
go through on its own merits they
would have had pretty respectable
grounds for claiming that they were
willing to accord measure of justice to
Dakota. In tying up the admission of
Dakota with that Of Montana, Washing,
ton and New Mexico, they have offered
a practical insult to the people of Da-
kota: Nevertheless, we hope the omni-
bus bill will pass. So long as Dakota
is territory we are compelled to pocket
insult after insult only.

CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATES.


At the meeting of the County Republi
can Committee last Thursday change:
were made in the apportionment of votes
in the Congressional Convention as fol
| lows:
Flushing Precinct, IL votes.
Belmont Precinct. IL votes.
Burr's Mills Precinct, IL votes.
Wayne township. IL votes.
The corrected call appears upon the first
page of this impression. The committee
men and electors of the precincts named
should take notice and govern themselves
accordingly.
1t was originally hoped that half votes
could be avoided. but that there might be
no semblance of cause of complaint upon
the part of any one the changes designa-
ted were made.
Attention is called, too, to the fact that
the two election precincts of Pultney
township had to be consolidated, likewise
those of Mead and of Somerset. In each
of those townships the voters should as
semble at some common place, convent
ent to the voters of either precinct, and
choose their delegate (or delegateS.)
In all other instances, in each election
precinct the voters will meet at their usual
Uoting places. The delegates will repre-
sent precincts in every instance except
those designated above.

THE ELECTION on MONDAY.

st. Clairsville elected a member of the
Board of Education on Monday. Rev.
Robert Alexander, pastor of the Presby-
terian Church, was put forward for re6lec-
ton, while his opponents named Mr.. Jas.
NJ Rees. Immediately upon the opening
of the polls the battle began, and it was
stubbornly fought to the end, although it
was apparent from the beginning to those
who were acquainted with public opinion
that Mr.. Rees would be triumphantly
elected. Mr.. Alexander was on the street
throughout the voting, vainly endeavOr-
ing to steady his broken columns, and his
lieutenant AIilligan) alternately pleading
and threatening; but all in vain.
The vote was the largest ever pOlled at
a similar election -207-and the 124 bal
lots cast for Rees to SO for Alexander is
significant expression of opinion as to
the methods that have prevailed in the
Board of Education.

MENTION was made last week of an ac-

by his horse falling upon him. One foot
was firmly caught in the stirrup, and for
moment he was in deadly peril. He re-
allied that he was in imminent danger of
being killed, and reached for his knife,
hoping that he might be able to reach and
cut the strap. After being dragged about
ten feet, the mare plunged and his weight
broke the strap. 1t was a close call
