SIOUX FALLS CONSTITUTION.

The present indications certainly point
to the adoption OF the Sioux Falls consti-
tuition. There seems to be no organized
opposition 10 work up a sentiment favor
ing new constitution. While on the
other hand there are some 80 prominent
men who will certainly do some work to
have their actions of 1886 ratified by the
people II is very likely, in the majority of
districts at least, the delegates Of 1885 are
still prominent men. This gives basis
for an organized, systematic effort, favor
ing the old constitution. Ono OF the
strong arguments In their possession Is
th. fact that in 1886 few trades OF any
kind were possible. Statehood seemed so
distant, or uncexain. there was little traf-
ficing for the Offices. The delegates were
cool headed, conservative and certainly IN
frame of mind to make y good constitu-
tion II they ever could. Without impugn-
ing the motive of the new delegates before
they are selected, yet IL is patent to all
that political trades are more than proba-
| BILE Statehood is In sight within few
months and the various state Offices
will be temptation for personal emolu-
msnts which may endanger the constit l.

who may have the greatest number Of
votes would be elected. Practically the
result would be that the party In the ma.
jority--or the party which Is conceded
to be in the msjority-would nominate two
candidates for delegates. while the party
which is conceded to be In the minority
would nominate but one candidate, The
ticket OF the majority party would then
read: For delegates to the constitutional
convention. John Doe, Richard Roe. The
tickets Of the minority party would he
printed thus: For delegates to the consti-
tutiopal conve ltion. John Smith.
But IL two political parties were nearly
evenly divided and each claimed OF hoped
to obtain the majority. each would nomi-
nate two candidates for delegates. There
would then be four Candidates, and the
three who received the greatest number OF
votes would be elected. This system IL
not what Is known as cumulative voting
such as We hare in Illinois. IL simply
limits the choice Of each voter TO two per-
sons, while three persons arc to be elected
in the district. The political party in the
minority, even il that minority be very
small, will be able to elect one delegate in
each district if good man Is nominated,
and il all efforts OF the minority are
directed in his favor.

IMMIGRATION COMING.

Reports are coming from many Sec
tions Of South Dakota of new settlers ar
irving; and none are gong out now from
any part of the territory. The tide has
certainly turned towards Dakota again,
and we may look for the return Of many
people who left for California, Washington
territory and elsewhere. In fact some are
already coming back, and many more will
follow. This places us In a position TO the
more readily admit that many people have
left Dakota in the past two years, but in
nearly every instance they are sorry for it..
Hand county has probably held her own
under adverse circumstances as well, or
better, than any of the new counties.
Some of them have less population to-day
than they had four or two years ago,
while Hand county's vote November 1883
lover 20O0) shows a gain of 800 over the
largest vote cast any time prior to that.
Holding her own thus through the past
dull period, she ought certainly be In
splendid condition after an active period
VI iIiilAe,iutsoh ouSn us oOSuS StA"Ah "a
the near future-provided Of course We
catch our share Of IL.
In view Of these facts We believe theIe
are no properties Of any kind, city or farm,
| which are better investments than farm
lands in Hand county. IL is, notwith-
standing this, almost hey o1d comprehen-
sion at what low prices good farm lands
are selling at. It is strange men in the
older parts Of the territory don't improve
the opportunity here presented to make
money. The lands are certainly not rated
at their worth, but the matter Is easily ex =
planned. Nearly all farmers in the county
have more land than they can farm. They
want to sell a part, and the consequence ID
there is too much lind on the market
which brings the price down to the pres
snt low figures. Men who own only ons
farm OF 160 acres will not sell for this low
price. because they are not over burdened
| The remedy for this evil will come Will
the turning tide. When more people come
to occupy the vacant farms in Hand coun,
ty the prices will quickly turn upward,
and stay there.

Last Territorial G0yernor--And Sure
to be our First State Governor.

Word passed over the wire Tuesday of
the appointment Of Hon. A.C. Nellette, Of
Waterfowl, for Governor Of Dakota. This
is great glory again added to Dakota
during the last few weeks, 1t Is begin
ning TO pour Dakota's way. and in the
words Of the psalmist we raise our voice
in shouts Of exultant Joy and again sing
Bully for Cox" There Is one Church in
which We would like to sing this anthem
but alas
We have no biographical sketch OF the
new governor at hand, but will give our
readers some idea Of the gentleman from
what we personally know of him. He is,
we believe, new Yorker by birth, but
has passed the greater part Of his life in
Indiana where he arose to distinction IN
political circles In 1850 nc Was appoint
I'D register OF the U. S. lsnd Office at
WATERFOWL, Dakota, which he ably filled
until removed by Democratic President.
He has, as most OF our readers know, al
ways been foremost in the political affairs
OF the territory; was elected governor il
1855, when the people OF South Dakota
had about concluded to be q state anyhow.
He is our member of the National Repub-
lican central committee, an attorney and a
newspaper man by profession, and, above
all, "he's all right" He is pre-sminently
fitted for governor. He is strong in in
tegrity and consistent in all things; he is
a brainy man and 'unernng in Judgment,
He has magnificent physique and is, we
should Judge, about 46 or 4G years of age.
He enjoys the distinction of being our
first resident governor.
Mr.. Richardson. Of Grand Forks, was
