 AcATEcHIsM FOR COL. WILSON
 Col. Wilson had a tslk CD those
 illegal bonds ID the Enterprise of
 Oct. s. After denying m7st en-
 phatically the bsssless stou that
 he gave official opinion fayorable 10 the bonds. he challenges the paper
 asserting and the whole bread and
 butter brigade to produce such an
 opinion. Courier.
 As the Colonel did not talk into 8 sound reproducing machine and probably never di1 give a written opinion on these bonts he feels per fectly safe in issuing the GbJy- challenge. R. E. Morrison, then district attorney Of th.s county, say that Col. Wilson a. attorney geueT- el did give hlm veroal opinion on the validity of these bonds. He is corrobaratsd by his assistant dis trict attorney at that time.
 It is barely possible however tha' Col. Wilson's memory IS defective and in order to refresh 1t we wiil propound few queries 10 him.
 First Col Wilson, when you were attorney general Of this terris tory did you have any conference of any kind whatever with Kitchen & O., of New York. the holders oi a majority otlbese bond he sub ject of such conf-re31e JeiUg the validity O. -alidI,, f said bonds!
 Second-D yor visit Kitchen X C $ ofios. ia New } ork. during a vIsIt east when y,u were attorney general
 Thiri-Did you ever have any correspondence with Kitchen X Co or their agent ID regard to these bondsi
 Four If so do you tbink that it could have been possible for Kitchen x Co. to have reasonably formed an impression from any thing you might have written or said to them, that you believed these bonds were valid!
 Fitth-Now Colonel look over your press letter book for 1896 and . see if you eau see copy of a letter . written by you August 10. 1896, to ! Kitchel t Co, iu which the follow ing language occurs:
 "Mr. Morrison has also consulted me. (not on the receipt of your let ter however,, and he knows my opinion for it has been plainly giv- en him. and his attention has been called to the YanktOl coanty case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States involving mater like this"
 Si1th-It you f-d a letter. as above, will you state whethe- that was the time MT M rriso0 cl ms Co have consulted you ofieLail7 but which YOU recently stated was onlv a private talk and if the Ysnktou county case was cit.d iu sup port of the position you took on these bonds, or was it cited to show that the supreme court of the United States was in error n isl { findings in th.s case?
 The syllabus of ,ae Ya-k;oH < county case referred 70 above reads c as follows:
 ~Congress may legis.ate for Ter ritories as a State does for i:s Iu- a nicipal organizations IL has full ' and complete legisLstive authority e over the people of the Territories I and all departments of 5he Terr.- c torial Governments. The Act of Congress Of May 2, | 1872, validated the bonds of Yank- U ton County issued to the Dakota a Southern Railroad company. O Congress may nCt only sbrogate .  laws O! the Territorial Legislatures. 2 but it may l=-islate d.rec, ,- the 2 local government. e "It may 0-.e @ void ar- If the J Territorial L-sl-Ia valid and a Ii valid act void" q Seveuth-D.G gol eyer receive a c letter dated st Eev York, Novem Il Der 2l, ls96, from d gentleman rep p resenting Kitchen X O., in which t he said: | My people ar- about forwarding S their secu. ies for conversion.
