Ono Surveyor for Both Dakotas.

There IS some question whether or not
B. H. Sullivan, surveyor general for D..
kota, will continue to hold his Office and
have supervision over both Dakotas now
that admission is accomplished. The
surveyor generals Office of Dakota was
created ina section of the organic act,
and it is the opinion of the land Office
officials that Mr.. Sullivan will continue to
serve for both Dakotas until the surveyor
generals district is divided by act of con-
greSs.

European Diplomacy.

The friendship that exists between
the different European countries is not
very lasting. England and Germany
are friendly at present, but either or
both of them may be seeking other al
lies before week passes.
Their diplomatic notes remind one
very much of the note young bachelor,
who, wanting wife, wrote to young
lady. He applied for her heart and
hand, and wound UP as follows:
"Have the goodness to send me re-
ply as soon as possible, as 1 have an
other young person in my eye"

do from the fact that the members of the.

The old territorial law makes it the duty

While the new constitution imposes that,
duty on the state board of canvassers. In

A Difrerence of Opinlon.

johnson Nlckeus, just before he retired
from the Office of attorney general of Da-
kota territory, gave the opinion that the
North Dakota legislature would havs to
wait until the second Tuesday after its
meeting and organization before it could
elect the United States senators. His
opinion is based upon the act of july Is,
1855. The attorney general Of North Da-
kota is not inclined to accept MIR. Niokeus'
view. Senator Moody, now in Washing
ton, telegraphs that he has carefully ex-
smined the law and with others he is clear
in the opinion that the new state can elect
senators without waiting till the second
Tuesday. He thinks there is no difficulty
xhatever in tho way. The theory Of Sena-
TOR Moody is that the law does not apply
to the election of the first senator's. The
chief clerk Of the United States senate tele-
graphed there is no precedent for guidance.
The first colorado senators were elected
comfortable to the law of 1855, and the
first Nebraska senators were elected July
IL, 1866, two weeks before the Law was en-
acted. The new constitution makes it
obligatory. upon the legislature to elect
ton, and in the opinion of Senator Moody,
this obligation is binding.
Treasury TransSer.
The new state treasurer, Booker. has
arrived at Bismarck and was sworn in:
Also Helgeson, the commissioner of sgri-
culture. 1t looked at one, time as if there
was to be hitch between the old tarrito-

They are Sure Enough, Twins.


1t is not yet matter of doubt which Of
the two Dakotas can claim precedence.
North Dakota can claim the honor of being
named first in the omnibus bill. The
subject has created great deal of COM
ment IN Washington, and the Star tells
about it in the following: The admins
tratlon has real mystery on hand, and
the best joke, Of it is that it will remain a
mystery until time shall be no more.
North Dakota will seek in vain for testi-
mony which shall indicate that it
was admitted to the union few gratifying
seconds in advance of South Dakota, and
South Dakota can hunt until the crack of
doom for the evidence that would give it
slight seniority. he question which
first assumed the dignities of statehood"
must forever remain unanswered, because
no one knows. ooh, but the president
must know" says somebody. He does
not, though, and here is the reason why.
On Saturday the president received from
the state department tho two proclama-
tons deficient only to the extent of his
signature. The question of priority at
once came up and it was found to be diff
cult to decide. South Dakota had been
the favored one in times when everybody
supposed that North Dakota was going to
beleft out in the cold as territory and
every 0Outui D1kOtan was SatlShAd-that.-
his geographical subdivision would be re-
garded as superior. North Dakota said
that it would not make the slightest differ
ence. Their territory would naturally
have precedence, just as one would natur-
ally, in calling the roll of states mention
North Carolina before its sister to the
southwark 1t was grave situation for
the president to be in, and he evidently
realized it, but he steered his way out
without difficulty. The two documents,
unlocked at, were laid face downward on =
Rheet Of paper, then they were shufaed
Until three-card monte expert could not
toll t'other from which. When this stage
df the game had been reached the procla-
nations were turned faces upward, but
protected from the gaze of the curious
and everybody else by the sheet of paper
on which they had been lying. The
sheet had been slipped aside until the
spaces for the presidential signatures were
exposed. The autograph was appended,
tie ink allowed to dry, the proclamations
turned over once more and again vigorous
~ shuf1ed. The two Dakotas were adj
mittedsto the union, and although one of
them was ahead of the other just the
length of time it took the president to
write his name history will never be able
to record the name of the leader. 1t is,
profound mystery and will always be So.
