Delegate a,fford's OPINION.


In a private letter TO the editor Of the
Daily Huronitsswr,ttend during the re.
cess OF congress, Delegate Clifford de-
clares that the Dakota question will
surely come up. a. agreed, on Jan. Is,
and 1t will be- the greatest event in this
congress-. There is war paint on all
sides. Two much dependence should
notbe placed on Springer. What he
will do no ono can tell. Clifford thinks
| It quite likely that he. with others, will
insist upon uniting the bill with New
Mexico, business, which will not be
consented to BY those determined to
rise above partisan consideration in
doing what is just and right. Cox is be.
lieyed to be entirely in earnest and ia
determined to follow out the, sug-
gesttons OF wiso and honest states
manship. Clifford Is sure that
nothing will be permitted to got in the
way Of the bill until the battle u fought.
The Dakota statehood bills arc now
privileges on the house calender for tho
first time In all history. There is plenty
OF timo to consider and pass the bill In
the house, for the senate to act and 10,
. conference committee between the two
houses to act, and for the president u
act, before the 4th of March, but tho
question is not one Of time and oppor.
tunity. but OF agreement. Tho Repub.
licans will stand pat on the Harrison or
Plat bill, with only the inevitable day
lSoncerning ratification, etc. Clifford
will at proper time offer amendments
fproviding for an entire new election OF
officers at an early date. The dispo-
sition of Democrats to stick bv the bad
features, or those that could not III
honor and fairness be accepted by the
friends of the bill, NAV be greatly modi.
lied by the appeals OF leading DSkota
Democrats, whose interests suffer greatly

An important Decision.


Judge Rose decided the celebrated
Northern Pacific tax cases at James.
town on Monday. The particular Cases
on which decisions are made are the
suits Of the railway company against
the treasurers Of Foster and In Monre
counties IN Dakota for perpetual in
Junction against the sale Of railroad
lsnds for taxes Of 1887. The cases also
decide about thirty ether suits Of the
same character brought by the Norh-
ern Pacific restraining the sale of lands
along this line of road in Dakota. The
amount involved altogether is half q
million. The decision il against the
railroad, but it gives the plaintiff ten
days to amend complaints. However.
it is probable the case will go 10 the
supreme court on the pleadings. Al
they stand the counties claim the righ,
to tax these lands in addition to the
pro rata they receive under tho gross
earnings law Of the territory.

ing for days wages to teachers while attending
institutes. In my opinion benefit possibly
result to our common schools from such 4 measure
unless it he made the duty OF the county superin-
tendcnt TO assign each teacher subject work pre-
paratory TO the holding OF the institute; and further
more, IL should be compulsory upon the teachers
thoroughly prepare themselves on the WORK sub
Jet thus gned them by the uperntendent TO the
end that the teachers must perform duty while at
tending the institute forfeit days wages as a
fine. The mere attendance OF the teacher. without
being compelled 10 render service for which il is
now proposed to allow him her days wages, eau
not possibly advance the interest of our common
schools and IS no improvement over the present law,
except that il avors the teachers IN financial view.
Then make IL obligatory for the teachers to pefor
duty, 10 do work ~ the institute. and thus a
days wages. Such provision wi tend TO mate
rally improve the efficiency and culture OF the
teachers, and moreover il win augment the useful
Of Institutes relative to the progress and adj

The Farmer and the Quail.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: Before me is the letter OF
George w. Eisenberry that appeared in your ever
welcome paper OF the 9TH inst, in which he appealed
TO hts feow-sportsmen in regard to the quail bill
introduced by Mr.. Foster. 1 notiscd the introduce
ton of the bill two years ago, and the farmers of
southern Indiana we're severely disappointed az it's
not passing at that time. Mr.. Foster has the farm
ers sympathy of this part of Indiana Tor his
labor in their interest The prayer Of the farmers is
that there will be enough Fosters IN the house and
senate TO pass his bill.
The notable increase in the number OF ausils in
the last few years is not due 10 the mild seasons
your sportsman says but T. the fact that farmers
are determined TO protect their little friend the
quail. What the farmer wants is law to protect
quails and keep of those dude spOTtsmen. They
care nothing for law. When the farmers back Is
turned they quietly steal his premises and kill
his best friend the quail Those dude hunters came
into the vicinity of Lynnvie last fall, and in the
glorious hunt, they term it, killed Or. Hunts ino
mare grazing in Tyner's pasture. We hear of di-
vers instances where stock killed crippled by
those gentlemen hunters. They have just az much
right 10 come my farm and kill my chickens as
my quails. The farmer takes much pains 10 raise

First Spring Work.

The first work in spring is preparing for
corn. The land is plowed hastily because
she hurry to get in the crop does not per-
NIT OF that preparation so necessary in or
der to derive the largest yield. The corn
land should be plowed in the fall and
plenty Of manure spread over the plowed
ground in order to permit OF the effects Of
frosts and moisture. A second blowing
should be given in the spring, running the
burrows across those turned in the fall. 1t
is the practice with some TO check off the
rows on land that has been plowed in the
fall, depending on cultivation in order to
pulverize the soil, but the better plan is to
pillow the land again in the spring and har-
row the field over until it is as fine as pos
sible. This first preparation Will be found
of great advantage to the corn at later
stages of growth, especially should there
be drought. The roots will have better
and deeper field upon which to feed, and
the young plants will get an early start
that will greatly aid them as the season
advances and when it is important to get
ahead Of the drought
