kimball Graphic: There are in Da-
kota to-day the most accomplished
liars that ever stood on the face of the
earth. We'say this without fear of
contradiction. They attended the Aber-
deem convention as alleged delegates,
and some of the statements they made
concerning the sentiment of the people
of their respective localities brand them
not only as accomplished liars. but as
blankety blank ones at that.

Ex-Congressman Kleiner, of Pierre,
writes THE ADVOCATE from Washing
ton that the statement going the
rounds Of the press to the effect that
the bill providing for the opening Of
the Sioux reservation will become u
law by January 80, and that President
Cleveland has said that he would sign
the bill, was not sent out by Mr. Klein
er. The item originated with q spec
ial correspondent at Pierre, who claim
ed that Mr.. Kieiner sent such tele-
gram. In answer to this statement
Mr.. Kleiner writes TIE ADVOCATE
as follows:
l have never sent such telegram,
and such paragraphs do NE an nius-
tice, Injuries the cause ] am so earnest
ly fayoring by forestalling the action
OF congress and putting words in the
mouth of the president which it is
needless to say he would not utter in
advance Of the pass age Of any measure.

Ed Carpenter returned Tuesday
noon from four weeks tour OF the
New England states, where he has
been booming the Calliope, Burlington
and Northern railway. The following
item found in the financial columns of
the Boston Herald will explain the OBJ
ject of his visit to Boston:
The Calliope, Burlington and Nor
thern railway company has executed a
deed of trust to the Boston Safe De
post and Trust company, to secure
an issue of S1,500,OO0 of first mort
gage 2O-year 5 per cent. gold bonds on
it's lines now building in Iowa, Mime
sofa and Dakota.
w. E. Hutchins, Of Boston, was
elected treasurer of the company and
will negotiate the sale of the bonds.
A suite Of rooms are being fitted up in
Boston for the treasurer. Mr. Carpen.
ter also contracted for considerable
iron and rolling stock while east On
his return from Boston last Monday
Mr.. Carpenter stopped off at Sioux
City and had Il conference with the
directors the Sioux City and North
ern, an IMITATION perfected last
fall for the purpose of securing con-
nection for Sioux City with the Mani
toba system. At the time this latter
organization was perfected it was in
tended to adopt the idea of making
the Manitoba connection via Brandon
and CANTON. After the death Of
Chief Engineer Mcintyre, however,
the CANTON project seems to have been
lost in the shuttle, and the Sioux City
people put their surveyors at work on
q mere direct line to the Duluth.
Their survey ROW runs twelve miles
east Of CANTON and taps the Duluth
at Palisades. But Mr.. Carpenter has
made proposition to the Sioux City
people that they will very likely ac
cept. He plans to form a coalition
with the Sioux City and Northern
whereby they will construct their line
to q point ten miles southeast of Cal
liope and there meet the Calliope, Bur
lington and Northern. Another idea
would be to merge the Sioux City pro-
iect into the Carpenter organization
and construct an independent line
from Sioux City to the Duluth con-
nection. The directors of the Sioux
City and Northern will hold formal
meeting shortly and decide upon some
plan Of action.
THE ADVOCATE believes that the
plan will nateria!ige and that a line
will be constructed the coming sum-
mer. We also believe that the Sioux
Falls arm Of the Duluth will be ex-
tended to Yankton, and pass through
Lincoln county somewhere in the
neighborhood of east Lennax. In the
natural course of affairs the Duluth
will cnt us off entirely on the wcst,
and unless there is a break in the
present program the other arm of the
Duluth will cut us off on the east
The point is: Can CANTON lose more
territory and prosper?

Hon. 4. c. Mellete, of WatertOwn
governor elect under the Sioux Falls
constitution, answers the series of
questions sent out by THE ADVOCATE,
as follows:
EDITOR ADvoCATE:-If the people
of Dakota do not desert
their cause the senate of the
United States will stand by them and
refuse to pass any act looking toward
admission as a whole.
The senate should refuse to take
any action to defeat the unanimous
will Of the people Of Dakota prior to
democratic rule, which for fifteen
years has expressed itself in every pos
sible form in favor Of division, 50 that
the question is no longer debatable.
1t is only raised by artificial means as
q democratic cloak under which to
continue Our territorial condition.
Am in favor of division before ad-
mission, be it now or twenty-five
years from now. The privilege Ct
self government under natural and
perpetual conditions that render
it OF no value for economic purposes
can never be anything than a curse
to the people. Dakota is TOO large for
a municipality. .....--....,.

4 Washington special to the Pio-
ncer Press, dated January 3, says:
John II. King, Of Dakota, returned
from Ne" York today and called ut
the Pioneer Press bureau. He be-
lieves that bill will be reported at an
early day from the senate committee
on Indian affairs that will suit both
houses and effect The opening of the
Sioux reservation. The other men,
bers Of the Indian affairs committee
are going to take a hand in the~ con-
struction Of bill this year, and some
Of the features Of both the Jones and
Dawes bills will be adopted. In the
house Peel, Of Arkansas, who will
probably be chairman of the Indian
affairs com mittee, has prepared bill
which he will introduce at the earliest
possible moment. 1t partakes of the
features of the bills above mentioned,
but adheres to the boundaries of the
Edmunds committee. This provides
for the opening of 12,OO0
square miles between the White and
Cheyenne rivers, allowing the Lower
Brule Indians to select another agen-
cy. 1t adopts the school provisions of
the, Jones senate bill, which Dawes
old bill did not contain. It is not I'm
likely that in both houses the bills fin
ally adopted will be reconstructed by
the committees, and 20 single msss-
ure to be introduced will be accented
bodily. King, kleiner and Pettigrew
have settled down here for the best
measure that can be secured. They
are to have an interview with Com
missioner Aitkin pretty soon, and
hope to get from him recommenda.
ton that the reservation be opened
without waiting for the consent Of the
Indians. This seems to be the only
hopeful plan to pursue. Pettigrew
and wife are boarding at 11O3 G street
northwest, where Delegate Clifford
and wife are located, and King and
family are boarding at No. POI East
Capitol street, at the same II ouse with
Senators Teller and Platte.
