On Washington's birthday the president
signed the territorial admission bill. Great
sattsfaction was expressed on both sides o
the house Of representatives when the presl
dents action was generally known. The
news was te!egraphed to tho capitol. and waa
received with every manifestation of approv.
al. Shortly aftcr the house met. u special
massenger from the White House brought the
following autograph letter to Mr.. Springer
chairman OF the committee on territories
Hon. William n. Springer-My Dear Sir. I
signed the bill for the admission of the new
states ut III O'Clock this morning Yours
very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.
me news Of the approval OF the territorial
admission bill by President Cleveland was
received with general qualification. There
was every assurance that the president
would sign the bill, but the knowledge OF it's
approval relieved long suffering people Of
much anxiety, and there was universal re-
joicing. While the bill is not just what the
people OF South Dakota had hoped for, there
is but one aentiment-to accept any bin at
the hands of the present congress TINT has
the semblance ofjustice to the disfranchsed
citizens of the territories. Tho citizens Of
south Dakota join in rejoicing over the ar.
rival of the day that has given them the
rights of sell government, for which they have
fought for eight years

signed the omnibus bill waa received Mt Piere

unreasing labor fordivision, and eight years

When the capit oil was taken from Yunkton
to the north it was the boast of the winners
in that game that division was dead, nnd the
friends OF the cause over tho territory were
quite generally disposed to accept that con.
clusion. Eut the division leaders at
lankton stood s'rahlastly by the cause. and
through their efforts two constitutional con.
ventit.ns have run their course. each presided
over by II fank,on man. These kept alive
the division sentiment. and the result now is
