North Dakota's Institutions.

North Dakota has three institutions To-
Gated; penitentiary at Bismarck. insane
asylum at jamestown, and the university
at Grand Forks. OF course each town
wants to retain its institution and I'M
doubtedls will. There are several more
Institutions contemplated by the omnibus
act, but it is not obligatory to establish
them. There is a school of mines, for
which 10000 acres of land are appropri-
ated by the general government. There is
deaf and dumb asylum which will be
needed. Appropriation for that. 10000
acres. Tuere is an agricultural college
that Fargo wants. Appropriation, 1885,
COO acres. Appropriation in bulk for nor
NAL schools, $4,000 acres. And for such
other educational and charitable purposes
as the legislature of the state may deter
mine, 10000 acres" In the foregoing
there is chance to get all public institu-
lions needed. Too many, however, will
be tax, endowment or no endowment.
1t is also patent that the constitutional
convention could. with advantage to the
state, fix the number of these institutions
and name their locations. The people
would then have chance to pass upon
both points, number and location.

S,,cc.ssful Al.oway,


DR.. ]. G. Alloway, who during the past
two or three years has been the territorial
veterinarian, has transferred the records
and documents OF his Office to his success
or, DR.. D. E. Collins, of Mitchell. The
cause for this change is found in the fact
that DR.. Alloway's resignation as terrific
rial veterinarian was sent to the governor
some time ago, and it is understood that
the delay in the appointment of his sue
cessor was the difficulty of finding sue
cessor under the peculiar construction of
the law. DR.. Alloway has accepted the
position of the Twin City Stock Yards,
between st. Paul and Minneapolis. These
are designed to do much of the work which
has been done heretofore at Chicago and
Kansas City. Over 400 luen are now en-
ployed in placing the Strengthening houses
and other buildings in condition for work,
and it is expected that they will be ready to
receive the cattle by August LIST. The ~su-
perintendency of these immense stock
yards gives to DR.. Allowav one Of the most
important, as we'll as one of the most re-
munerative positions in the northwest, and
his Dakota friends congratulate him on his
success.

A Suggestion from the Fast.

An officer of the civil service association.
New York city, has prepared the following
clause for the North Dakota constitution,
and submits it for what it is worth: The
legislature shall provide by law, in har-
mony with the constitution, for ascertain
ing the qualifications Of persons desiring
appointments for performing the duties Of
officers and places under the government;
but no religious or political test for the
same shall be required. The incorpora-
ton of such a provision in the state con-
stitution would mark departure in state
constitutions and place North Dakota in
the front rank of practical reform.

FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The American delegates to the Samoan
result of their labors. The official press Of
Germany is disinclined to dwell upon the
matter Of the Samoan settlement. all tho
glory of which is lost to Germany. and q
brief paragraph in the Norte German Ca
zette at the conclusion of the conference
states that an agreement was arrived at
with perfect unanimity by the powers rep
resented and to tho satisfaction of all par
ties concerned. Several provisions Of the
Samoan treaty will be enforced before the
treaty is formally ratified. The consul at
Apia will forthwith invite Samoan adher-
sion to the treaty.

The question of the school lands of the
two Dakotas is securing special attention
just now. The constitution and the ena-
bling act provide that no land is to be
sold for less than $40 per acre, but there
are those who argue that the state should
not sell the lands at any price. They say
that the lands will never be WORTH less
than they are to-day and the state might as
we'll get the benefit of the future rise in
value as individuals. 1t will not be long
also before $50 per acre will be considered
low price for land in the two Dakotas
1t would certainly, then, be wise if the
lands were leased instead of sold. The
rental in all cases would be at least equal
to the interest which would come from the
i'll Vested proceeds from the sale of the
land. Should all the lands be held for
the next fifty years, the chances are that
TIE school fund would be many times as
large as it will be in case the lands are sold
at the values which now obtain.
