Dear Sir: Let me again thank you
for your magnificent effort on behalf of
statehood for Dakota and other terri
tories. TO us who live out here your
remarks, from Que whose life has most
ly been spent in the forum of intellect
nal and commercial activity in the east,
read like an inspiration, 80 graphically
have you pictured the situation. Right
ly or wrongly the impression has been
created here, and to some extent else
where, that the Democratic party is re-
sponsible for denying the people OF Da-
kota their undoubted right to come 5nto
the union as two states when they pos
sess all the qualifications of popula'
tion. wealth and territorial area. From
a party stand point this Injuries us here.
Why is the Solid South on one side?
The Democratic party should not adopt
a policy to make a solid Northwest on
the other side. The people of Dakota
are practically unanimous in favor of
division and statehood, and it is useless
to waste time in talking otherwise. Let
us havestatehood at once land our party
have the credit Of giving it to us. All
parties here applaud your efforts; and
let me say in conclusion that should you
visit the west you will be received with
8 hearty welcome, from the shores Of
the Mississippi to Puget sound:=
Yours respectfully,
MARTIN RYAN,
Chairman Democratic Ter. Com.

Some Interesting statistics from the La

Some Interesting statistics from the La
Dor Bureau-Average Wages Paid.
WASHINGTON, February y1.-Commissioner
Wright OF the Department OF Labor has
submitted a report which relates entirely
to the subject OF working women in the
great cities. Three hundred and forty-two
industries in 20 representative cities have
been investigated, and the report shows
that :he working women OF the great cities
are practically girls.
The average age in all cities compre-
heuded is 22 years and months. The
average for the period during which the
women have been engaged in their present
occupation is shown to be four years and
nine months, and of 16.429 women in
volved, $40 are engaged in a first trial at
earning their own living.
OF the whole number, Ia, ,12O are ma
tive born. In ign born Ireland is
the most largely represented, and Germany
next.
A great majority OF the women are sim
gle. They are not only supporting them
selves, but giving their earnings largely to
the support of others at home.
The report shows that OF 1926 who re-
ported their conditions at the time they
commenced work, 1880 we're in good
health, SS3 in fair health, and 1873 in bad
health. The changes in health condition
are illustrated by the fact that 4,554
are now in good health, 2, ,435 are in fair
health, and 489 are in bad health.
The average weekly earnings by the cities
shows that San Francisco is the highest
paid, with $6.9l, and Richmond, Va, the
lowest, 1898. The average weekly wages
computing all cities, is $5.24.

Court Decisions.
Saturday afternoon the long delayed
decision OF the habeas corpus proceedings
in the Isaac Morehouse case was rendered
by Judge Mcconnell in chambers, dismiss
ing the writ OF habeas corpus and ordering
that Morehouse pay the money to his wife
ordered by Judge De Wolfe, or in default
be committed to Jail. This does not de.
eide the merits OF the case, which will come
up for trial at the next term. There is nc
appeal from this order, and it looks as il
the fair plaintiff will at last receive the
maintenance to which, as a wife, she is
entitled.
In connection with this the case OF the
Territory against Mary Morehouse ap.
pealed to the Supreme Court at last term
WAS dismissed in the Supreme Court yester.
day at the costs of the Territory
for the reason that the appeal was
improperly taken. This was the cas-:
in which the costs OF the prosecution in the
case against Isaac Morehouse for infidelity
year ago last January were taxed against

From the decision the wife appealed to tht

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Among the decisions OF interest here
dered by the Supreme Court yesterday
were the following.
Judge DeWolfe's decision in the case o.
United States vs.. ingling has been sus
tanned in the Supreme Court. This prac
italy ends the prosecution growing out o.
the alleged Kuklux cases at Philipsburg.
In the case of Bielenberg VS.. the Montana
U lion for killing horse q decision was rem
dered yesterday in the Supreme Court re.
versing the decision OF the District Court
and sending back the case for trial anew.
1t has already been tried twice in the Dis
trict Court.
The important insurance cases Of Saville
VS.. the Etna and the London and Lanca-
shire Insurance Companies were decided in
favor OF the insurance companies at the
costs of the appellant Savile. This ends a
long and tedious litigation and settles a
most important point in fire insurance law.
Talent and Speer represented Saville; Nc
Bride & Haldorn appeared for the insur-
ance companies.
The case of Territory VS.. Milroy, in which
the demurrer was sustained at the last
term of court, was reversed and the case
sent back for trial.

stricken from the six year clause. Lost.
Section 1 was then adopted as amended
and section as read.
Garrett moved to amend section 3 by
adding provision allowing the use OF a
seine in the Missouri river below the great
falls.
During the discussion of this amendment
Mantle raised the point that such pro-
vision would be special legislation, and in
violation OF the restrictive act OF Congress,
forbidding Territorial Legislatures from
making amy special laws relating to game
or fish,"
Murray and Haskell interpreted the re-
striction act differently, and thought the
proposed legislation on game and fish was
not special legislation in the meaning OF
that act.
Pending the result of the discussion, the
hour OF noon struck and the committee
arose, reported progress and asked leave
to sit again.

NpIeNATIoN AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, February News oil the
recent action of the German forces at Sa-
moa have given rise to q acommotion hmong
the members OF the House, and much in
dignation is felt over the announcement
that the Germans intend to search vessels
arriving at Samoa. Representative
Thomas, OF Illinois, is particularly active,
and an influential member OF the committee
on naval affairs has prepared the following
resolution which he will present to the
House at the first opportunity:
Whereas, from the reports committed to
Congress by the President OF the United
States and from current newspaper ac'
counts, the rights of American citizens ap-
pear to have been grossly invaded, and the
commercial interests OF the United States
ieopardized by the action OF the G'rman
government through it's naval forces in the
Samoan islands; and
Whereas, late newspaper dispatches
show that steps have been taken looking to
the requisition OF the Samoan Islands by
the German government, in violation OF
the rights and integrity OF the government
with which the government OF the United
States holds treaty and commercial re-
lations, and in violation OF the treaty
rights OF the United States. So there
fore be it
Resolved, by the Senate and House OF
of the United States in
Congress assembled, that the President is
hereby authorized and directed to take
such steps, forcibly, il deemed expedient,
as are necessary and proper to protect and
the honor, dignity and interests
of tho flag and government OF the United
States and it's citizens wherever disposed,
against the acts Of the Emperor OF Ger
many or his forces.
