'1 his i* only one feat^^ure of the awkward all-digested statehood^programme. The people are virtually de^^prived of federal courts. They tire law^abiding ami patieut, but forbearance is at^the expense of the interest*of litigants, and^exisises the public to crime committed^against the I'nited States which does not^provide any mean* for the punishment of^criminal*. No federal court exist* in the^new state. Practically the peope are worse^off than la'fore the admission. All is chaos^and direful consequences would result *hould^I serious crime be committed against^the federal law*. There is no rea^^son why the appointments of judge^und commissioner should not be instantly^made except that the aptwiiutmcnt* are held^tin at the instance of politicians until the^I nited States senators are elected. It is a^republican scheme to subject the public^safety to a scramble for place and patron^^age. For the time being the federal gov^^ernment is without authority iu North Da^^kota, and it is impossible to punish crime^against the I'nited States. This ridiculous^situation might easily have been foreseen^and ought to have been provided ngainst.^The statehood progress liu* Is-en farcial.^Gov. Mellett, after qualifying ue gover^^nor of South Dakota and certify^^ing to the election of I'nited States^senators, returns to Bismarck, enn-^viisne* the returns of the North Dakota^election, certified the result to the presi^^dent, canvassed the South Dakota ^'lection^returns, and certilied to his own election,^thus acting as governor of North Dakota^while residing in South Dakota. The con-^stituliotud convention of North Dakota^t riasrended its (siwer* and violcted the pro.^vision* of the oinuibu* bill. The constitu^^tion and RC'edule are inconsistent and^ambiguous. Tsi prohibition provisions^are unsatisfactory and obscure. Territorial^license law is certainly repugnant to prohi^bition. That article of the constitution,^therefore, is no longer in force. Licenses^cannot legally lie granted, but prohibition^is not in force until the laws enacted are in^force and these do not take effect until July^following lbs adoption. Consequently the^liquor business is wide open.and free whisky^is rampant. The statehood programme is a^piece of republican bungling botohwork. TUOOPPBfl HABKIT.
