THE STATEHOOD PLANK.
State Rights Demanded for the Dakotas
and Montana.

State Rights Demanded for the Dakotas
and Montana.
CHICAGO, June 21.--The statehood plank
of the republican platform adopted today
is as follows: "rhe government by con-
gress of the territories is based upon ne,
cessity only, to the end that they may be-
come states in the union; therefore,
whenever the conditions Of population,
material resources, public intelligence
and morality are such as to insure sta
BILE local government therein, the people
of such territories should be permitted,
as right inherent in them, to form for
themselves constitutions and state govern
ments and be admitted into the union.
Pending the preparation for statehood, all
officers thereof should be selected from
the bona tide residents and citizens of
the territory wherein they are to serve.
South Dakota should of right be immedi
ately admitted as state in the union, un
der the constitution framed and adopted
by her people and we heartily indorse
tie action of the republican senate in
twice passing bills for her admission.
The refusal Of the democratic house of
representatives, for partisan purposes, to
fayorably consider these bills, is wilful
violation of the sacred American princl-
nle of local self government, and merits
the condemnation of all just men. The
nendine bills in the senate for acts to ena-
BE the people of Washington, North Da-
kota and Montana territories to form con
stitutions and establishrgstate governments
should be passed without unnecessary
delay, The republican party pledges
itself to do all in its power to facilitate
the admission of the territories OF New
Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho and Arizona to
the enjoyment Of self-government as
states such Of them as are now qualifled'
as soon as possible, and the others as soon
as they may become so,'

GREAT FALLS TO BUTTE,
The Montana Central Determined to Be
on Time.


BUTTE, June 21.-The end of the Mon
tana Central track is nearing Calvin's and
is coming right along. The grade is
ready for tracklaying almost to Butte, as
it now stands, and will be all ready. The
principal work uncompleted is the big
trestle on the Four Johns mining claim
just above Meaderville This trestle is
547 feet long and 85 feet high at the high
est point. 1t is one of the highest trestles
on the line. 1t is now about half COM
pleted. Six of the other trestles this side
of Woodville are ready for laying track
across them, and the two remaining are
small affairs which can be built in three
days. 1t will require rustling in order
that the road may be entirely completed
to Butte by the 4th of July, but it is be-
lieved that the tracklayers are equal to
the situation and will get here in time
for the Montana Central engines to help
wake Butte up on the morning Of the 4th.
b. H. Becker, chief engineer of the Mon
tana Central. is here, on business relative
to the location of the depot buildings in
Butte. These buildings will be four in
number-a passenger depot, freight de-
pot, building for baggage and express
and a section house. The passenger de-
pot will be located very near the Mon
tana Central track and the street car line
to South Butte-a very convenient loca-
tion-and other buildings will be near at
hand.

Money Abundant.

CHICAGO, June 21.-In the local loan
market borrowers are Just now treated
with more consideration than at any time
since the opening of the year. Idle funds
are in good supply, money here and at
other centers promises to be easy and
quite low during the summer months,
and bankers mquestionably show some
nervousness about their discount lines.
At any rate they are more conceding in
their dealings with borrowers ana dis
posed to encourage the asking of accom-
modatious. Interest rates were recently
universally reduced to 5@7 per cent,

that the nomination be made unanimous,
which is done. The delegates are cheer
ing and everybody is shouting, waving
flags, etc. Flags and pictures of Harrison
are displayed. The cheering lasts nine
minutes and then subsidies. The most
noticeable feature OF the nomination was
the chilly reception with which it was
received.
