HE Is a RESIDENT

A Bismarck paper that did not prob
ably contribute to the hiring of the band
that welcomed Gov. ORDWAY upon his
arrival at his home, raises question as
to his right to vote there at the October
election, as there will be a little less
than six months from his return to the
voting day. He has been in Washington
four years, but even if he took his resi-
dence there with him, what would pre-
vent his sending it back in advance of
his personal coming? If he can vote in
October, he can vote at the election for
delegates next month. Ii he can not
vote, he cannot sit as a delegate. If it
can be shown that the governor has
voted at Washington OF acted like
citizen there, it might afford presump-
ton that he had his residence there; but
he is too Shrewd a man to have kept it
there too long for timely use in Dakota.
1t will no doubt be found that if his
residence was thoughtlessly held at
Washington it was returned by tele-
graph or registered letter as soon as the
state bill passed.

THE VOTE In nOURT-

AT the election last November forty
counties-not quite one-half-voted Oh
prohibition. All of these, with not more
than four or five exceptions, had tried
local option one year, but twenty-six of
them voted against it and fourteen for
1t. The former had an aggregate ma
Jority for high license, which was the
alternative fixed by law, of S,6SS. and
the fourteen gave 3,1O2 for prohibition.
This was a majority of 1856 for high
license. Without looking at the exact
figures, it is believed that there are not
more than thirty-five of the eighty-six
counties that have not rejected prohibi-
ton or refused to vote on it. Last
November there was probably $1,000
majority in favor of high license as
against prohibition. Still, the indica-
tons are that the active campaign being
made in the South for prohibition will
embed it in the constitution, and it will
not be surprising if the convention
fayors it. but it may be presumed that

CASsELToN, n. D., April 19.-The
new districts in CaSs county have been
made according to the recommendations
advanced lbs Col. Plummer and other
residents of Casselton. The new plan
gives very general satisfaction to all
save few of the mugwump element at
Fargo, and their opinion counts for
nothing. anyway. Instead of giving
Fargo six Of the nine delegates to the
constitutional convention from this
county, she gets but three all the city
is entitled to-while the rest of the
county gets six. The election for dele
gates to the convention occurs May IA,
and candidates for the positions are as
thick as graybackS on a Sioux Indian.
Among those who aspire to the position
of constitution manufacturer are r. Nj.

liant editor of the CaSselt0n Reporter:

Is not candidate, and has positively
refused to allow his name to be used
for the position. He advances the
opinion that 10 resident of this city
should aspire to the position of dele
gate, and advocates giving the tributary
country the honor of naming the three
delegates. But this will not be done
without struggle, as every little pin
headed man in this section seems to
think he is particularly fitted to help
mold a constitution for the new state.
With the exception, perhaps, of one or
two, none of those who are forcing
themselves forward as candidates for
delegates have brains or sense

feared that delay would complicate mat

good bird 's-eye view, but we will en-
deayor to show the readers of the
GLOBE how Yankton really is by giving
the illustrations in installments. On
Thursday Sioux Falls and Yankton
capitalists bought acre property in
North Dakota to the value of 800, 900.
The daily sales of town and suburban
property are large. The property men
toned above has a frontage of a
mile and a quarter on Douglas
avenue. extending nearly to the insane
asylum. The syndicate that OWNS this
land will build a street railway from
Third street to the asylum, and plat
their land and put it upon the market.
The scheme is large one. and is said
to be worth 100000 to Yankton. The
certainty of the building of the Norfolk
Iankton railroad, and the extension of
other lines, warrants the prediction
that this city will soon become city in
fact. The real estate firms of E. NJ.
