THE TWIN STATES.

A point seems to be attempted to be
made that Bismarck is named in the
omnibus bill as the capital OF North
Dakota. That does not preclude the
convention from providing for the loca-
tlon of the capital. Congress creates
states. 1t does not legislate for them.
The act of locating the capital can be
done by the state alone. South Dakota
votes on her temporary location and
congress named it in the North. That
is the only difference. The people To-
cate their permanent capital in both ln-
stances.-Devil's Lake Capital.
Neither political party has any ad-
vantage to gain in the constitutional
convention, and for that reason let us
hope that men will be selected, not on
account of their being strong partisans,
but because of their intelligence, edu-
cation, and fitness to weigh and de-
termlne the grave questions which will
come up for discussion and solution. 1t
is only from men of this class that
constitution can be evolved that will be
credit to the state and an honor to it's
framers.-Hope Pioneer.
Some OF these same papers are long
and loudly advocating the Sioux Falls
constitution. 1t opposes both of these
propositions. Now these editors are
careless and have not examined that in
Strument, or they are traitors to the
cause they profess to advocate. They
should either strike or stand by their
cOlOrs; there is no other honest course.

organizations to watch them and see
what they dO.-Clark Democrat.
The most unique feature of the (Min-
nesotal law, however, is the provision
which makes it a misdemeanOr for any
newspaper to print anything more about
the matter than the mere announcement.
This is nOnSenSical. There is no demand
for any such law. The public wants to,
and has right to know the details of
executions, neither is there anything
demoralizing in their publication
Aberdeen News.
Much has been said about carpet
baggers of Dakota, but it must be re-
membered that when they are spoken
of only Ordway and Allen are referred
to. 1t was all right for Gov. Pierce to
come from Illinois with an appointment
Ill return for personal service rendered
Mr.. Arthur: for Judge Edgerton to

1t makes the Democratic heart rejoice

1t is asserted that Gov. Mellette is
using the patronage of his Office to fur
ther his own personal chances for the
governorship of South Dakota. Not at
all surprising, and he wouldn't be an
Indiana politician if he didn't do that
very same thing, for the average In
dianan wants office and lots of it

Not many more weeks will pass by be-
fore the funeral of the great Sioux Falls
constitution will be solemniZed, and the
pall-bearers will be the only mourners.
for they are the ones who framed it and
hurled it before the people of this great
territory with the expectation of it be-
coming law.-South Dakota Journal.
Suppose the rush for the Sioux reser-
vatiOn when it is opened is as great as
the rush to Oklahoma, in proportion as
the size OF the reservation is to the
Oklahoma country, and everybody that
came stayed, Dakota would be worth
looking after by politicians.-Hot
Springs Star.
