The Senate Committee Considering What
Changes Must Be Made fn 1t.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Platt
has called a special meeting of the senate
committee on territories to take under
consideration the house amendments for
the admission of South Dakota. The
committee will have three points to con-
slider. First: Whether the question of
division shall be submitted to the people
Of Dakota: second: whether North Da-
kota and New Mexico shall be placed on
an equality with the other territories, OF
be required, as they are under the house
amendment, to come to congress again
for admission, and third, whether New
Mexico shall be admitted with the other
territories or ruled out. There is strong
sentinent among the Republican mem
bars Of the COMMITTEES against submitting
he question OF admission to the people
u North and South Dakota. They claim
that tlhs would be virtually submitting
khe question to the people of North Da-
kota, for it is known that the people of
South Dakota favor it. They would
probably be willing to agree to the adj
mission of North Dakota, Washington
and Montana as compromise, but only
on condition that North Dakota be
PLACED on an equality with the other
territories in the matter of admission.
There is a strong feeling against the ad-
mission of New Mexico.

BISMARCK, Oak, Jan. 2e.-In the
council Gov. Church returned the bill to
examine the Yankton hospital without
his signature. He held that in the inter-
est Of economy the officers already
elected could do thai duty, and if it was
a joint resolution it did not need his ap-
proval. The seed wheat bill came up,
and was put upon its final passage. Dol
lard and Washabaugh were the only
members who voted against it. The law
allows counties to bond for S25, 900 to
furnish farmers who lost their crops by
frost in 1888 with seed wheat. The
house bill extending the time for paying
1888 taxes to June 1, 1889, without PEN
atty, also passed, only Washabaugh vot-
ing no. A cast iron prohibitory law was
introduced by Patton, and bill to re-
peal the law to tax gross earnings of
railroads. In the house bills were passed
requiring railroads to pay damages for
killing stock in thirty days, or double
pay; Whites bill doubling the tax on
telegraph companies. An effort was
made to bring up the woman suffrage
bill, but failed.

THE QUESTION OF RATES.

Nebraska Finds Herself Burdened with
Exorbitant Freight Charges.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 2e.-The state
board of transportation yesterday fur
nished the house and the senate the fig
ures called for by the resolution of Sen
ator Raymond, asking that a compare
tive statement of rates on local freights
in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Nebras-
ka be furnished the legislature. The re-
port substantiates the charges made that
local freight rates are on an average
from SO to 100 per cent. higher in Ne
braska than in Iowa, and it will form
the basis for coming legislation on the
rate question.

The WAY to Figure 1t.

Huronite: The county commissions
ers have appropriated sum not ex-
ceedng $2,5O0 to be used IN advertis-
ing Beadle county. This is an ex-
ceedingly wise move. The money will
be expended principally in sending out
printed matter descriptive of Beadle
county, calling particular attention to
the desirability of this county as a
place of residence for first-class farm
ers. The most prominent feature will
be 100000 splendidly illustrated pam
phlets giving description of every
town in the county and the farming
region surrounding it, giving the ex-
perience of successful farmers, views
of farm buildings, stock, etc. The ex-
pense, when divided among the whole
people of the county, is comparatively
nothing, amounting to less than 25
cents per capita, and it is estimated
from thu tax roll that the farm land
will pay less than 20 cents per quarter

FORT SMITH, Ark, Jan. 2e.-More than
200 delegates were present at the Indian
Territorial convention here. Each Of
the civilized tribes of Indian Territory
was represented. A memorial to con-
gress was adopted setting forth that the
Indian territory is an anomaly in the
United states and its political and tribal
status is an obstruction to civilization
and detrimental to the Indians, render
ing their land tenure insecure and their
condition one Of mi-barbarity. The
country is an asylum for criminals Of
every kind, whose deeds Of crime and
violence make its name a by-word and
reproach, and the Indians are the VIC
Tins of designing whites, carrying with
them the vices without the virtues Of
civilization. No intention is expressed
to deprive the Indians Of their rights,
but rather to allot them their lands by
severalty and invest them with their full
rights under treaty obligations.

They have spoken in a devilish, not in a

ANNUAL CROP REPORT.
A Larger Product of Cereals Than Was
Ever Before Recorded

"A Larger Product of Cereals Than Wos
Ever Before Recorded.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The annual
crop report of the department of agricu1-
ture shows that there is larger aggre-
gate product of cereals than has ever be-
fore been recorded. 1t will amount to
about 3,200,000,OOO bushels, or fully 80
bushels per head. This is about three
times the average supply per capita of Eu-
rope from home production, and receipts
from other continents amount to only
about one bushel per head.
The aggregate potato production is
2OO.000,000 bushels, the sweet potato crop
about 4O,000,000. The production Of
cane sugar is small; sorghum medium
crop. Owing to the abundance of mois-
ture and the moderate temperature of
spring, the hay crop was very large.
The cotton crop is of medium yield with
increased acreage. Fruits have been
fairly abundant, though variable in pro-
duction locally. 1t is the sseven year."
and apples are plenty for domestic use
while their cheapness has favored expor-
tation.
The wool clip of 1888 was slightly re-
duced in consequence Of the reduction
of focks in Texas and elsewhere. The
esLlmated product is 269, 600 900 pounds.
The meat supply has been very abun-
dant.
The area of maize, as estimated for
the crop of 1888, makes an increase Of
3,2SO,O4S acres over the crop of 1887, and
Il, ,SO4 1853 acres over the census crop of
1879, indicating gain of 81 per cent in
nine years.
The estimates of wheat area makes a
reduction Of 3O5,645 acres from the
breadth bre of 1887. The aggregate is 37,-
3S6, ,13S. an increase of only 1906 ,eO5 on
the area of 1879, or little more than s
per cent. The exports will probably be
less than those of 1s79-SO by at least 1OO,-
100000 bushels, a quantity more than
ample for the annual supply of all the in
crease of population since 1880. There
appears to be a further increase of the
area of oats amounting to 1,O77, ,376
acres, and about 41,Ooo,0o0 bushels in
crease in the quantity produced. The
yield per acre is 26 bushels, against 25. a
bushels in 1887.

Kimball Graphic: The Mitchell Re-
PUBLICAN reads the riot actto the solons
at Bismarck over the matter Of legal
printing. tseems to be the opinion
of large class of legislators that it's
the proper thing to pay the most ex-
orbitant salaries to officials of high
or low degree, vote extravagant ap-
preparations and then expect that
newspapers will do work for the public
for nothing and board themselves.
The present law governing legal print
ingls 25 per cent. lower than two years
agQ, and was made at the request Of
the Dakota Press Association, and
based upon fair and equitable rate.
The present plan of publishing the
proceedings Of county commissioners
in three papers is the best that could
have been devised-save that the three
should not be the same politically.
Each paper now receives one-third
legal rate only, and the proceedings
thus have the widest publicity at a
trihing cost to the tax payers. No
man is compelled to take certain pa
per tolearn what the commissioners are
doing. A bill has been introduced at Bis
marck providing for one official paper
only. The member who introduced it
ought to be called home.

Not as Bad as Reported.

Philadelphia Times: The day after
the last national election Senator
Blackburn and Representative Allen of
Mississippi-a man who is described
by the Kentuckey senator as the wit
tiest and loneliest-looking man he has
ever met-were together in the capitol
building when they were approached
by young editor Hearst, who excitedly
showed them telegram from his
father, the California senator. The
message ran this way:
As sure as there is God in heaven
Grover Cleveland has carried Cali
fOrnia.
At that time 1t was well known that
New York state had been carried by
Harrison, and it made no earthly diff
ference what the voters of California
had determined their verdict should
be. Allen read the telegram. and then
handing it back to the young San
Francisco editor, said to him solemnly:
Young man, your fathers words
remind me of an acquaintance of mine
who went out to Colorado and was
thrown from a bronco pony and killed.
His companions sent this telegraphic
message to his widow:
Jim has been thrown by bronco,
and his neck, both legs and one arm
are broken.
Several hours later they sent the
widow this additional telegraphlc mes
sage:
Later particulars: Matters not as
bad as first reported. Jim's arm was
not broken.
