A QUEER thing happened in the Mime.
sofa legislature the other day. A resolu.
ton regarding Dakota's admission, and
mildly roasting the democratic party fol
so long preventing it, was introduced by
republican. A number of members Of
the same political faith denounced the
resolution as an insult to their democratic
colleagues, and it was amended. Those
thin skinned gentlemen would probably
object to criticism of the devil for the
part he played in the Garden. of Eden
affair.

THERE seems to be, after all, .conserv.
ative spirit manifested by majority of
the members of the legislature in their
dealings with the newspapers, and al
ready some of the acts that would have
most heavily handicapped the territorial
press have fallen by the wayside. If all
the bills that have been launched against
the newspapers during the present session
were to become laws they would crush
the life out of every newspaper in the
newer counties which IS not in receipt of
a steady income from final proofs, and
many of the oldest, largest and best pa.

1t is strange. Many of the intelligent
gentlemen who have wanted to repeal ev-
cry law through which dollar might
reach the pocket of publisher have lived
for years in this territory. They have
seen the struggles of the local newspapers
in the early days of each county. They
know of the unswewlng loyalty of the
local press in presenting Dakota's advan-
tages and inviting settlement. When their
home nelghborhood was young some of
them, perhaps, have contributed their
share toward founding the pioneer jour-
nal. They wanted it. They considered
1t necessary as means of speedy COM
munication between the people, even if
in their judgment It had no higher mis-.
sion. And yet they go to Bismarck and
seek to repeal necessary laws--laws that
IN not widely divergent forms prevail
generally in the States and in the Domin.
ion--laws that have helped to make the ter.
ritorial press power for the advancement n,
of the interests of its chosen home.
Nor is this matter one of sentiment
The newspapers have earned and will
earn every dollar they receive IN fees fol
public work. Every one Is at present

has worked SO faithfully during its brief

MORNING APPEAL.
JANUARY IS
Not Anti-Chinesc.

The Examiner tells the following:
There is quite family hotel In
this city Of the genteler sort, which
is largely freauented by Eastern
tourists and others of Eastern ante
cedents. The Chinese lottery craze
has struck this hotel and its inmates
and il making fearful inroads upon
the pockets OF the victims.
The Chinese lottery seems 10
have 6 peculiar fascination Tor the
Eastern mind. 1t is very simple,
II is not a bit like gambling, and It
costs so little to get into the game
A 10-cent ticket is so trifing and
the possibility of winning SIS 20 on
a seven spot SO very alluring. And
SO at this hotel, the proprietor, his
clerks and all his guests, men, wo-
men and children, anxiously await
twice a day the coming OF the Ceies-
tial lottery agent.
Intact, there are two or three
agents, for the heathens have
awakened in their opportunity, and
it is safe to say that livelier busi-
ness is done IN that house than any
similar place in town. 1t is great
fun to drop into the hotel about 81
O'Clock at night, when the evening
drawings come in.
The ladies are almost GREATNESS
with excitement and suppressed
emotion. The proprietor and
his clerks count the spots and
compare the drawings, and careful
ly keep each lady's book separate
When all are compared each bosk
has on it the SUM won, if any thing
and it is sent to the lady's room.
Childrens' tickets are treated IL
the same way. Those who may
have won rush to tell their neigh
bors and mark new book for thu
next days drawing. The Afternoon
drawing is reported about nv
O'Clock, and the same scenes ar
enacted.
II ia rare amusement for an out
slider to watch the greed OF thes
Eastern folks and bear them dis

the past few weeks 1t is said tn

WHY BLAINE WON'T GET IN.

Was Once Snubbed by Mrs
Blaine.

st Paul Mimi, January 10

night that Blaine would certainly
not get a place In the Harrison
Cabinet. 81 know precisely what

this" said the Colonel. "There
are a couple OF women in the case
and they are no less distinguished
women than Mrs. Blaine and Mrs.
Harrison. Why, when Blaine was

a reception given by Mrs. Blaine, at
which the latter snubbed Mrs. Har-
