Vital Dakota issues.

Minneapolis Journal Wednesday:
Notwithstanding that the first CLEANS
of the sun of statehood are beginning
to fall upon the Dakota pralries, the
people of the territory, through their
representatives in the legislature, are
voicing their dislike to carpetbag rule
in no uncertain tones. Saturday was
a Waterloo for Gov. Church and yes
terday was knock erout. Two impor-
tant measures were passed over his
veto by an almost unanimous vote
Gov. Church has had much TO say
about economy, in the abstract, but
neither he nor his master, President
Cleveland, has shown a disposition to
conduct the affairs of the territory in
the interests oil its people. AS con-
sequence whatever good intentions
GOV. Church may have now are over
whelmed by the flood of resentment
against his official acts and political
course. This is an unfortunate state
of affairs, and serves to show plainly
the evils of carpetbagism and the in
iquity of the political injustice Da-
kota has suffered at the hands of the
party in power.

Was Il Very Unwise Governor.

Yankton Press: Governor Church
has made the discovery that two
bird legislative majority is greater
than governor. lie might have as
certained this in a clandestine way
and saved himself the humiliation Of
being thrust aside in contempt. But
he preferred to stand on the track and
let the locomotiye toss him into the
ditch. He sent in veto Of the Yank-
ton insane asylum investigation bill
and the legislature promptly enacted
it without his consent. He vetoed the
legislative printing bill and it was
passed over the veto. He waa a
very unwise governor to veto the asy-
lum bill. 1t provides for enquiry into
the acts of a number Of officials who
were created by the governor and are
known to be his especial pets. To keep
himself from suspicion of collusicn
with these officials, if for no better
reason, the governor should not Eave
attempted to prevent the investigation.
1t is a matter of common notoriety
that things have been going wrong at
the insane asylum and that the truth OF
falsity of these allegations might be
known the governor should have en-
couraged the inquiry the legislature
proposed, instead of using his execu-
tive power to stay the investigation.

The dispatches from Washington
are very ehensiYe-perhaps if
they were less so they would be less
contradictory. That there is a growing
unanimity of sentiment, however, is
daily becoming more and more appar-
ent. There is at present more of a
disposition to make concessions both
on the part of the Springer element
and that of the senate committee on
territories, upon the latter of whom
has been brought to bear the Influence
of the scores of Jealous and intelligent
representatives from Dakota who are
at present in Washington laboring
with every energy which they possess
to secure division and statehood at
this session. 1t is now authoritatively
stated that Mr.. Springer has agreed to
drop New Mexico and to make such
other changes in his bill as can be
done consistently in order to secure
its passage. Dakotans at Wash
ington are much more hopeful
than they have been at any other time
during the present session.

The decline in wheat continues, the
price having fallen 25s cents for
the week. The record of $1.2O for
wheat October 9TH looks rather absurd,
in the light of subsequent events, but
at the prices reached this week, 9311a
to 93Is cents, there has been some buy
ing for export, though not as yet for
Great Britain. Corn has fallen a cent,
in spite of a large export demand, and
oats are shade lower. Pork products
have also declined, mess about so cents
per barrel, lard 20, and hogs 10 cents
per 100 pounds. Cotton is a shade
lower, and coffee three-eights higher.

Among the several bills thus far
passed by the legislature is one allow
ing to each member the sum of $40
with which purchase postage stamps.
1t would seem like & small thing to
complain of, the investing of $40 in
postage stamps, but il each member of
the legislature writes 500 letters dur
ing the session pertaining to official
business-and it is to be presumed that
few of them would be willing to be
considered dependent upon public
charity to defray the expenses of pri-
vate orrespondence-then it is certain
that but little else should be expected
of them.

A Dakota Air Ship.

WOONsOCKET, Dak., Jan. .26.-Consid-
cradle interest has been manifested of
late in the proposed flying machine, re-
Gently invented by D. G. Bassett, a
harnessmaker. This air ship is go feet
long, 10 feet wide on top and 10 feet on
each side, and runs to a point at the
bottom, which is shaped like V. The
frame is to be covered with canvas and
made air tight, and it will be raised by
gas, to be generated in the ship by
means of gasoline burners. 1t will
carry enough fuel to stay up three days.
The propelling apparatus is two wheels
on each side, to be run by man power,
and careful calculation shows that it
can be run over milea minute. The
steering apparatus consists of two rud-
ders or tails-one to guide it up or
down, and the other to send it side
ways. Mr.. Bassett says the reason
most air vessels so far invented can
not be guided is because they simply
float with the air currents, and are not
propelled rapidly through them. Any
navigator knows that boat which
simply floats in a current cannot be
guided. This being true on water, is
equally true in aerial navigation. The
cabin for passengers and crew is at
the bottom of the vessel.
Mr.. Bassett is now at work on his
vessel, and expects to make his first
trip from Woonsocket to Minneapolis;
leaving this city March 11th at 1880
a. IN. He is to be accompanied by Mr.
Frank Kelley, editor of the Woon-
socket News, gentleman who has
taken great interest in the enterprise
from the start.
The invention has created q sensa-
tion among south Dakota people. and
since it was noticed short time ago
in The Journal, Mr.. Bassett has re-
ceived inquiries from inventors all
over the United States and many have
come here to examine. All are satis-
fed that the plans are perfect and that
the vessel will be q complete success.

This condition of affairs is most salts

Representative White of Vermillion
is engaged in preparing bill creating
board Of regents who shall have con-
troll of all the public educational in
stitutions of the territory. According
to the provisions of the bill the
members of the board are to
be allowed each an annual sal
ary of 1000 and not to exceed $500
for necessary expenses. The board is
to have entire charge of such institu-
tions-to attend to the making Of all
improvements, to engage instructors,
ETC., etc. There Is little question but
that the scheme is a good one, and if
the right kind of men are chosen will
no doubt result in securing much
greater efficiency in our territorial
schools and colleges.

Considerable rivalry is being engen-
dered between the Hills and Pierre
over the proposition by the legislature
to appropriate some of the surplus in
the territorial treasury (Which by the
way is minus quantity to the build
ing of soldiers home in one of the
two places, depending only upon the
question of which will give the larger
bonus. To those who have no other
interest in the matter except that of
having to help pay the bill, it would
seem that these places are just a little
over-solictious for the welfare of the
old soldier. The number of impover-
ished veterans is comparatively small
and the list Of our public charities is
already to large for the depleted condi-
tion of our treasury. The legislature
will do we'll to exercise the greatest of
care in the matter of appropriations.
and we are pleased to see that few
of the more conservative members are
disposed to regard things IN this same
light.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1889-02-08

The territorial reform school is a
model in its way-but is considered by
many as a somewhat expensive luxury.
The building was erected at cost of
about $4,000; there has been paid out
to the trustees of the school, as mileage
and per diem, $5,5OS, and the school
has been run one year at cost ap-
prox,mating $12,000-and the only in
mates thus far are negro boy and a
little girl of five years who was turned
osfer 10 the care of the institution, not
on account of any laxness of morals,as
she is said by all who have seen her to
be the best hammered little Miss whom
you would meet in many day, but on
account of the death of her parents.
We are not disposed to regard the in
stitution, however, as do some of the
brethern of the press. Penitentiaries
and reform schools are at present a
necessary luxury, but it is much cheaper
to run them empty than full, and more
over it is an evidence of a far more
gratifying condition of public morals.

The Cabinet Caliber.

The New York Press makes the fol-
lowing digest of the views of the cabi-
net concerning the Samoan affair:
Cleveland's house is divided against
itself. Whitney and Dickinson favor
an aggressive foreign policy In the Sa-
moa matter, while Bayard, Endicott.
Garland, Fairchild and Villas are for
piping peace.
The word estate" has an atmosphere
of dignity, but the secretary of state
seems not to understand the import
ance OF asserting the nations dignity.
The secretary OF war, too, Is secre-
tary of peace.
The attorney general does not believe
in protecting the rights and interests
of his clients in the high court of ma
tions.
The secretary of the treasury is nat
urally conservative He has been
bowling for a year on the subject Of
the surplus, but now he has remember
ed all at once that we still have nearly
S1,O00.O0O,OO0 of war debt, and he
doesn't want any more war debt.
The secretary of the interior thinks
we would do better to pen the Indians
in smaller reservations and grab more
of their land within our own territory
than to make other nations respect
their contracts with us, and thereby
encourage the Indians to believe that
we respect our contracts with them.
AS for the president, he is said to
favor an aggressive policy, but he ap-
parently does not want to begin any
thing that he will not be able to finish
before Benjamin Harrison succeeds
him. He is afraid Harrison will get
all the credit of it.
Apparently the craftsmanship of this
administration is of about the caliber
of q hollow needle.

There is need for the exercise of the
greatest care on the part of the legis-
lature in dealing with the matter of
the taxation of the railroads. The
members of that body are not likely,
however, to lack for advice IN this di-
rection. The press from all parts of
the territory has signilied its willing
ness to be drawn upon for any amount
of concentrated wisdom. In this con-
nection we are led to remark that by
searching through goodly amount of
chatf there is working probability for
finding few kernels of good wheat. In
discussing the proposition of taxing
railroad property on basis OF its cost
the Sioux Falls Press makes the fol-
lowing not very strong point: 1t ad-
vocates the exemption from taxation
of all stations, warehouses, etc., and
making the assessment upon the road
bed only. 1t offers in argument that
to tax such Improvements would tend
to discourage theroads in making them
and thereby compel the public to put
upwith inferior accommodations. This
may be true, but it does not appear
to us. The law should not discrimin-
ate in this respect nor any other be-
tween private individuals and corpora
tions. Sc do not believe that railroad
men are desirous of having their busi-
ness regarded as public charity, not
withstanding the factthat they are u.s.
ually willing to accept good bonus
for the construction of their roads.
The railroad business is, or should be
selfsustainlng. fit is, it can afford
to pay its full share of the tax to sup
port the government which protects it.
The argument of the Press would ap-
ply with equal force to any and every
public and private enterprise. and its
absurdity appears upon its face. On
the other hand, however, considering
the feeling which exists in the public
mind against the railroad companies
our legislature will deserve great cred,

ted by the legislature of the state OF
Iowa. a law which favors the equal
taxation of private and corporate prop
erty, can not be seriously objected t.
by the railroads and can but meet the
hearty appreciation of the public.

1t is well. Mr.. Allison has announced
his determination not to accepta cabi-
net position il rendered him. What
ever may have been his motive for
SO doing, and however much his
friends may regret such a step, there
can be little doubt but that it will
prove for the greatest good of the
state which Mr.. Allison has so long
and so ably represented, ana indeed for
the entire northwest. There are few
men in the senate who WELD more
potent influence than he, or who can be
relied upon with greater certainty to
favor the cause which is just and right
regardless of the outside pressure
Which is brought to bear upon him.
The senate can not afford to spare Mr..

The frequent disturbances which
have had so demoralizing an effect
upon freight rates in the west are now
said to have come to permanent ter
mination. This "consumation de-
voutly to be wished" was consumed
at the recent convocation of railroad
presidents and managers. A feeling
of restful security has accordingly
settled down upon this section.

The new law with reference to the
taxation of railroads is liable to be of
great benefit to the Northern Pacific
road, whose road bed and improve
ments by special provision of its
charter are exempt. but under the
gross earnings law the road has paid
taxes in the past in common with
other roads of the territory.

On and after Monday, the 4th inst

Taxpayers will do well to bear this in
mind, as the law differs in this respect
from the one enacted two years ago.
The penalty attaches the first of June.
