SATURDAY MARCH 9, 1889.


The glad tidings Of the approval Of the
territorial bill by the president, was re-
ceived in Deadwood on Friday evening,
the 22d inst, a few hours late for publ
cation in our last issue. The following
telegram from Judge Moody to the
Deadwood Times was the first
ment o fthe welcome news
Washington, Feb. %, 1856 p m.-The
president approved the South Dakota
bill to-day. Swing high.
G. G. MOODY.
And they did "swing high" as the
following taken from the Pioneer clear
w shows: ''The news that the presi-
dent had approved and signed the bill
assuring statehood to South Dakota,
made public Friday afternoon by the
enterprise of the press in getting out
extra editions, was everywhere greeted
with expressions of satisfaction. Demo-
Gratis as well as republicans gave vent to
the pen up feelings Of enthusiasm. The
former declaring Grover Cleveland the
greatest statesman of the age, and the
latter conceding that after all he might
not be so bad as he was painted. To-
ward evening the irrepressible DISPOSE
ton for noise, firmly implanted in the
bosom Of every patriotic American as
serted itself, and a sum was quickly
subscribed sufficient to purchase fifty
pounds of giant powder and caps and
fuse enough TO send it off. Despite low
temperature and the possible danger of
freezing ones ears, nose, cheeks, faces or
hands, a large number repaired to the
creek bed between Deadwood and Lee
street bridges, where the powder was
set off. In all $50 shots were fired the
last explosion taking place at 7 p. IN. No
other demonstrations were made, but it
is safe to say that there was not a man,
woman or child in the community, but
who slept better and felt happier for the
knowledge that serfdom was doomed
that the knell had rung for the period of
bondage"

people of South Dakota have been
travelling, a road that has been lined
with discouragements, doubts II hope
SO long deferred as at times TO make the
heart sick. They have fought this
battle of statehood through long years
with indomitable resolution and with
wonderful patience. Nothing could
more signally prove their fitness for
statehood nor augur better for the future
than the self restraint and the prudence
which they have displayed under cir
cumstances most exasperating and dilem-
mas most battling.
But it is a long road that has M turn.
The people of South Dakota have come
to the turn, and they are suddenly
brought within view Of the splendid
prospect-so suddenly that the denoue-
ment can hardly be realized.
And now il remains for the people OF
South Dakota to meet "a wisely, as con-
servativelv, as brayely the emergencies
of the future as they have met those OF
the past. The immediate future is
freighted with duties Of the gravest i'm
p%ortance. With states az with men the
old adage is appropriations the twig is
bent the tree is inclined. No more inn
portant emergency can be proposed than
that which confronts a people just start
ing in statehood. 1t includes all that is
signiied BY laws, constitutions and the
other fundamental arrangements of a
great commonwealth, and az on the one
hand these reflect at the start the tend
encies and capacities ofthe people, so on
the other they imply a tremendous In
huence in the shaping of their future,
The Journal has c~onfidence-it has the
assurance Of kn~owledge-in the power
Of the people Of South Dakota for self
command to victory in all these things,

Dakota and to all the northwestern ter

Admission Act.

The provisions of the admission act
are thus briefly summarized by the
Deadwood .'3J,eer: The act provides
that on the Tuesday after the first Mon
day of May, 1889, the qualified voters of
that part Of Dakota lying south of the
9TH standard parallel, and at the same
time the qualified voters of that part of
Dakota lying north of that parallel, and
the voters Of Montana and Washington
territory shall hold an election and
choose delegates to a constitutional con
vention for each, to assemble on the 4th
day Of July. The expense of these con-
ventions shall be borne by the United
States, and for that purpose $4,000 is
appropriated, for the convention in
South Dakota, which is to assemble at
Sioux Falls.
At the election in May the voters of
South Dakota shall also have printed
upon their ballots, "For the Sioux Falls
constitution" or against the Sioux
Falls constitution and thus express by
their votes that day whether they desire
- retain the Sioux Falls constitution
t@ith such amendments as are rendered
necessary by this act of admission or
g~lsatier they prefer the formation of a
N institution. If the majority of
hto otes cast be in favor of the Sioux
la!ls constitution, then the convention
which assemblies on the 4th day Of July
sill have nothing to do but formally
adopt that instrument, with such changes
only as relate to the name and boun
dairy of the proposed state and to the
reapportionment OF judicial and legis-
lati1e districts, and such amendments as
may he necessary in order to comply
With the provisions Of the act of adj
mission. But if the majority Of the
votes east at the election in Nav be
against the Sioux Falls constitution,
then he convention which assemblies
on be 4th day of July shall proceed TO
name a new constitution. Following
he work OF this convention, the quail
iel voters of South Dakota will again
hold an election on the first Tuesday in
October Cat the same time as the cleo
ton will be held in the other proposed
new states and at this election the re-
suit OF the work done by the constitu-
tional convention which assembled on
the 4th day of July will be submitted
tor rejection or approval. If the vote in
May shall result i'm favor of the Sioux
Falls constitution, then the work of the
convention will be very brief. and the
questions to be voted in October will be
the adoption or rejection of the Sioux
Falls constitution and its separate pro-
visions for prohibition and for minority
representation. If however the vote i'm
May should be against the Sioux Falls
constitution, then the work Of the con
vention in July will be more important
and the new constitution framed by il
will be the question to be voted upon at
the October election. At this October
election there will also be elected state
officers and two members to the lower
house Of congress, and such county and
district officers as may be created by the
constitution or shall not be held to hold
over from the territorial form of govern

According to General Brisbin's notion,
there is no use in our annually wasting
thirty-eight million dollars in importing
tin from England when we can produce
twice that much at home and not only
supply the home market, but export
largely Of this valuable commodity.
The general has been investigating the
tin of this country and says
Tin of good quality exists in Arizona,
Colorado and Dakota. The mines in
the Black Hills of Dakota alone are
capable when fully developed Of sup
plying all the tin We want for domestic
uses, All they need is development
and mine owners are in Chicago now
~endeavoring to interest capital in this
branch Of our mining industry. Let us
aid this struggling and rising industry
ct congress slap more tax on British
Tin and shut it out or aid our home
production" General Brisbin IS the
highest of high tariff men.-Omaha Bee.

Why it was done we cannot say, but
quite number Of the streets Of Austin,

A gentleman from Dallas, who had
only few hours TO spend in the city,

The Austin man stared at the
stranger for moment, and then
pointing down Magnolia avenue, he
said :
You see where Maria comes into the
avenue

had Just entered the store, and he stood

floor, crushed out of all shape, and re-
