Cal, for n statehood convention

Call for n Statehood Convention.
A great emergency confronts the people of
both Dakotss in regard to the matter of state
hood. There is necessity for the people of
South Dakota to take prompt and vigorous
action. Without proper concert of movement
there is danger that statehood may be delayed
two or three years. This would mean to every
citizen serious financial loss and injury. The
time in which action may be taken is very
short, and it is therefore necessary that haste
shall be made in whatever may be attempted
The people of North Dakota have already
acted.
The undersigned were appointed a committee
at the statehood convention held at Huron
July IL, 1888, with power to call convention in
such an emergency. Therefore, in pursuance
of this power, and to give an opportunity for
consultation and united action upon this sub
iect the committee ask the people of South
Dakota friendly to :wo states to assemble in
their respective counties on Saturday, the 18th
day of January 1889, and ele5t delegates to a
convention to be held at Huron on Wednesday
january l5, 1885, to take such stepi as may be
necessary in this emergency,
The basis of representation of the severa
counties in said convention will be one dele.
gatef for each two hundred votes major
fraction thereof cast therein for delegate tc
congress at the general election of 1888.
Under the plan IF apportionment the various
counties of South Dakota are entitled the mum
ber of deIegatea below Indicated.

work and probably accomplished that

were that Smith Stimmel, of Fargo. had

Gil aad Il. II. Keith, of Sioux Falls, for

understood that Mr.. Van Osdhl, of
Yankton, held the casting vote. there
being twelve for Washabsugh and
twelve for Stimmel without Van Osdei's
vote. A telegram from Mr.. Van Osdel
last night indicated that he would go to
Stimmel. He is che farmers alliance
candidate and while Mr.. Van Osdel is
not an alliance mar, he is farmer
Combinations this year are more upon
an agricultural and non-sgricaltural
than sectional basis. Mr.. Stimmel is
quoted in the official roster as 'dem-
ocratic and peoples" candidate. He is
the man with whom Fargo made She
bitter fight against Major Edwards

Keith, the epeakership candidate, is 8
lawyer at Sioux Falls and the contest

lawyer. This indicates that the farmers
alliance is not 30 strong in the house at

The report of the house committee on

in Dakota contains some strange asset :
tions. II is considerably different from
the report presented soma time since,
and which Delegate Clifford, who has a
knowledge OF the situation prepared
The committee. it seems, did not feel
satisfied with this report, and directed
another prepared. The popularity OF the
last report is that il makes surprising
attack upon the Northern Pacific and
Chicago and Northwestern railroads
claiming that they have been instru
mental In preventing the opening OF the
reservation, and have in common witt
the cattle syndicates and squaw mer
been responsible for preventing the
opening Of the reservation. This report
brings forward no evidence to substan
tiate this charge, aud Its authorship j
put down as coming from rival corpor
| alton in Dakota. 1t is stated ct the in
terror department that it wss know
that the roads had not in any way con
tributed to the failure of the Sioux com
mission, and 1t was generally believe
that the railroads were sincere in tn
effort they had made to get the Yeserva
tion opened.

BANKRUPT ROADS.

annual showing of tho Number of
foreclosures ON Railroad Property,
In its annual showing OF railway fore
closures and receiverships the Railway
Age says that nineteen roade, with al
most SEQ miles OF track and nearly $65,
100000 of bonds and stocks, have been
closed out for the creditors during the
year 1883. These figures are much less
than those OF any previous year, with
the exceptions OF the years 1882, 1888
and 1884 Compared with the next three
years the Improvement is remarkably
great, indicating that the roads whose
insolvency occurred in late years have
mostly gone through the process of re-
organization. Only two of the nineteen
roads under foreclosure are among the
really important railways of the country
the Florida railway and navigation
with 533 miles of road and over $12 600,
600 OF securities; and the Houston
& Texas Central, with 522 miles and
representing nearly $25 900 900 of capital
The other roads are scattered through
various parts of the country and their
failures resulted chiefly from lack of
business Tie number of railway re-
ceiverships constituted dnripg the year
gives better indication of the present
condition of the railroads than do the
foreclosure sales, and in this respect the
evidence OF 1888 ia rather discouraging.
During the year twenty-five companies.
with 3.270 miles of lines and nearly
$187 900, 600 OF securities, have become
insolvent and passed from tie control of
their owners into shat of the courts.
Com pared with either 1887 or 1886 these
figures indicate large increasein respect
to number of roads, mileage and capital.
But on the other hand the totals were
much smaller than for the years 1885 and
1884, the latter being memorable from the
| fact that the thlrty-seven roads for which
receivers were appointed represented
over H. 900 miles of lines and nearly
S1]5 100000. The most important
failures during the year 1888 are the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, I,61l miles
and $93 100000; Minneapolis & st
Louis, 354 miles and $ll9, 100000; Day

week at st. Paul on behalf of the United

against the Northern Pacific railroad
company and involves between $5 ,000,-
600 and $6, 100000. II is charged that
ever since the road was built, about
1869, it has been trespaesing upon gov.
eminent land along it's line, denuding
timber lands and causing great loss and
damage to the government. The en-
oroaohments extend to land and timber
