All accounts agree how ever, that as great, not a greater, area than heretofore will be seeded this sea SOD. The coroner's jury called to enquire into the particulars of the death of the victims of the Southern hotel fire, in their verdict ensure the lessees of tbe hotel, in the following particulars: 1. While providing the necessary ma terials for extinguishing fires they had provided no means for their use. 2. In keeping in the storeroom and wine cellar a large amount of inflamma ble material without adequate watching. 3. In removing lrota their office a gong necessary-to aUrn^ the inmates of the hotel in cue of fire. 4. In employing only one watchman, and be a very inefficient mab, and sup plementing bis duties as such with other matters. 5. In lack of rules and instructions to their employes as to their conduct and duties in esse of fire. $. In their making no efficisnt efforts OP tbe night of the fire to awaken their guasts and employes. The Expenses or State Government. The Sioux City Journal, in in editorial article upon the subject of state organi zation for Dakota, raises the question of increased expenses and rather puts it in the form ot an argument against tbe pro ject. This question has already received the consideration its importance demands snd it is generally conceded that the in creaae of population and the increase in property valuation, together with the profits which will come out of tbe man agement of xrar own affairs will more than compensate for the slight iqpfciaae taxation. We are so heartily disgust #d with our dependent condition, with being snubbed at every tu'n in life, with having all our Interests suljeeted tu the whims and corrupt sets of parsons in power that we feel very much as the thirteen colonies felt whep they fluo^ away their dependent condition and as serted their position atnofig nations Not that we would go to the extremity adopted by them, though we are slightly rebellious to day and feel willing to pay for the blessed privilige or managing por own affairs. Still the cost of tbe condition is ifoiaUai* coaaide-.d. We must paj our own offiotfsf But we can regulate their salaries and there ate among us men who would be willing to serve in high positions without any great money return. 'Ttirse members of onr territorial official force—the treasurer, additor and superintendent of instruction are. now paid by the terri»ory, leaviug tbe governor, secretary of state, attorney tsneral and supreme cuurt judges to be provided for, and the legislature to be paid every two years. By applying the rule of strict economy and l) an appeal to the patriotic impulses of individuals qualified to serve the people, all this ex pense can be very greatly reduced from present figures. Under the territorial loim of govern ment our crimlnsls, our blind, our deaf and dumb and our insane are boarded at the institutions of adjoining states, at a,large exponas to the territory. To cart for them Within our ojrn boundaries would require public buildings, which lttjjte»niOMy to iintixL..JBnt thtT bo raised on ptaU bonds^which will find r^dy marked at theeaet atid wrll not mature until the state ot Dakota becosaee rick enough to paytbem. The interest atone would be all we would be called Upon to {provide and, the expenditure .of the snaount of' ear era 'capital required, lor these improvements would greatly stimulate the various industries of the prospective state. To its state* the general govern meet conveys large grants of land and the proportion of Dakota would probably be not less than a half a million acres.'. In addition to this two sections in each township are reeerved as school lands and a liberal donation is made tor the production of university fund. All this lend could be immediately placed upon Ute market, the prestige we would gain by state organization would bring to Jus thousands of pitrchfeMrs, and a fnnd for current expenses would be reel fced frosa their sale. We have given a few subjects tor con sideration in connection with the cost of state government, on the suggestion* contained in the Journal's editorial. We believe these facts reduced to figures would show-that the question of increas ed expenses, need be no barrier to tbe consummation of immediate state or ganization. PROFESSIONAL. E. H.
