Congress will reassemble in less than
a month and then Washington will be a'
point of more national interest/than at
present. After the organization of the
timfe branches and the reception of the
president's message and accompany
ing reports, and other preliminary
business. The work of president mak
ing will begin in earnest and may
coutinue until next July. Politicians of
all lines will be drawn to the national
capital from whence will]radiate schemes
to enlist the 'wire-working politicians,
at home. There will be no end of false
reports, humbug an
1 rot, spread before
the people from day to day, to the in
finite disgust of sensible people who
feel that life is too shsrt to dige st such
sort of stuff.
Lord Coleridge has sailed for England,
after spending two months in the Uni
ted States. During this period be has
travelled over 5,000 miles, and despite
the hurried character of his trip, he has
been able to get a good idea of the
country. He has taken kindly to Ameri
cans, and Americans harve Returned the
feeling. Perhaps nothing has: more
commended him than- the -freedom
from dogmatism in the conclusions
which he has expressed as the reBult of
his observations. The chief justice's
ast speech was delivered at Yale Col
ege and was a vigorous defence of the
study of the classis. He attributed his
own success largely to his constant study
of the ancient languages, and mentioned
the intersting fact that ever since he
left Oxford he has made it a religion, so
far as possible, never to let a day pa ss
without reading some Latin and Greek-.
The maps of Minnesota and of Dako
ta, published by Messrs. Warner & Foote
3 W-Nicollet avenue. Minneapolis, are
the latest, most elegant—and wba$ is of
vital importance—the most, correct of
uny ever issued. They ,-shpw the, con
gressional, township.range, and section
boundaries, together with the railroads,
main traveled roads, streams, lakes, or
guiJzed towns, villages, cities, and town
sites, railroad stations, postoffices, and
other es en ial'eatures never before rep
resented. Every business man and
every intelligent citizen, will prize such
maps far beyond their cost. People re
siding in such large areas of country can
not do business intelligently without ac
curate knowledge of their geographical
and topographical features.
An elaborate calculation has recently
been made by Mr. Edward Atkinson, a
noted statistician of Boston, showing the
cost of a loaf of bread made at this east
from the grain grown on the fields of
Iowa or Dakota, and how the cost is dis
tributed. This history of the cost of a
loaf of bread is a very interesting and
ingenious one, and at the same time
very simple. Of the value of 100 barrels
of flour, $300 goes to the Dakota farmer,
the freight to Boston will be $197.50 the
the barrels will cost $45, the grinding
$50, and the commissions aod cartage,
$30, n. aking the totil cost of the hundred
barrels of flour $GB2.5u when the flour
reaches Boston. The baker then takes
the hundred barrels of flom and adds
$210 worth of oven-heat .and yeast-and
£200 worth of labor, ao that when the
flour goes into .the shop for sale in the
shape of 3,000 loaves of bread it has cost
$1.092,50—an equivalent of 3 1-2 cents a
pound. For this bread the baker or the
retail dealer gets 7 cents a pound that
is to say, the baker and grocer ill Bos
ton get about one-lialf of the money
paid for a barrel of flour, the farmer
gets a fifth the railroads one-tenth, the
miller, merchant and cooper one four
teenth. Mr. Atkinson's object in this
calculation seems to have been two-fold
—first, aud moat important, to show the
poor people of this country who live
from hand to mouth that their bread
costs them about douMe what it would if
they should make it at home and, secon
dly, that the most of the proStonaloafof
bread does not go to the farmers and to
the railroads.
The unfortunate, career of Anna
Dickinson should be a warning to stage
struck women. She had scored great
success and made a comfortable fortune
as a platform speaker. In her field she
scarcely had a rival, and despite the dis
favor into which lecturers have fallen of
late years, she could always command a
large audience. But she suddenly con
ceived the idea that nature had designed
her for an actress, and in middle-life
without any previous training in the pro
fession, she began writing plays of her
own and assuming the title roles. It was
a foregone conclusion that she must fail,
but when the critics told the truth she:
ost her temper, and declared that they
had formed a conspiracy to ruin her.
She appealed from the critics to the peo
ple, but their response was equally dis
heartening. Her audiences fell away, and
her last engagements in eastern cities
were flat failures. Still refusing to learn
the lesson, Miss Dickinson resolved to
abandon the east, and, appeal to the
critical favor of the wild west, so she or
ganized a company and set out on a tour
of the one-night towns. Now this has
come to an end. Her manager deserted
her the other day in Michigan, and the
company has gone to pieces. After
years of hard struggle in a hopeless en
terprise she has lost all her old prestige,
wasted her fortune, and has nothing to
show for it all except disappointed
ambition.
The czar has decided to arm the Russian

Leopold Wirth, the well known distiller

The Anonymous letters lately sent to the
marquis £of Lansdonne, at Ottawa, Can.,
threatening his life, are looked upon as
merely the work of some crank who wsnts

However,the letters are severely condemned,
and all neoessary precautions taken to pre
vent their infamous threats being carried

Foreign News Gossip.
The London Times attributes the failure
of Morris Ranger, the Liverpool cotton bro

England and America and on the continent.
It says he aimed to control the cotton ex
changes of the world and had the help or
wealthy houses in London, New York and
Hamburg. The London money market is
not affected by them. Probably there will
be an increasing demand for cotton, fol
lowed by a reaction. The Times severely
condemns the wild dealing in futures pre
vailing in Liverpool, and advises the adop

of bargins and ussumed restriction thereto.

A Bad Preacher.
Valley City,Dak. Special: Rev. Isaac M.
Frey, for five or six months pastor of the
Congregational church of this city, has sud
denly left for parts unknown. His financial
matters are in v«ry bad shape—that is, for
bis creditors—he having converted every
thing into cash, beside, it is reported, taking
$150 of church money. Among the proper-
Sedisposed
of wassome that was mortgaged,
leaves a wife and three children in this
city in embarrassed circumstances. Rev.
frey came to Valley City from Washington,
D. C., where he married bis present wife
last spring, he being a widower with three
children, and she a widow with an equal
number, born of a union of a recently de
ceased. and it is understood, quite nroadn
ent Washisgtonian. At the time of the
lady's marriage with Frey she knew but lit
tle of him, having been acquainted with
him but a short time. He carried recommen
dations from Michigan, however, and his
ministerial bearing did the lest. At this time
tbe lady was possessed of the remnant of a
small fortune, in amount abont $3 000. Out
of this she furnished Frey with money to
come to Dakota and sent him frequent
1
drafts after his arrival here, and he con
stantly be&elged her for more money. This
shereiused to send, and Frey brought her
to Valley City, inhere she deposited about
$2 000 in the First National bank and took
a oheok therefor, made payable to herself.
To this the reverend forged his wife's name,
drew the money and left Mrs. Frey and her
children penniless. This action seems to
have been premeditated before he arrived
lb Dakota, as he left his three ohildren at
some point in the east. Frey is of small
stature, dark complexion, dark eyes, hair
siiahtly tinged with gray, and wore, when
last seen, 8 beard of several weeks' growth,
whioh he will probably cut off at the first
opportunity. He is about forty years of
age, and has the appearance of a blase man'
of the world. His wife fainted upon hear
ing of his desertion of her, and is almost
heart-breken on .account of her children.
THE LAND OFFICE.
OOlCMlSalONEB M'FAM,AND'S BEPOBT.
WASHINGTON, Speoial Telegram, Niv. 1.—
rhe annual report of the commissioner of the
(oneral land office ia ont to-day. He repeats
bis recommendations tor the repeal of the pre
emption and timber culture laws and for the
modification of tbe homestead laws, and tho
jld story of tbe abases gl-owing out of tha
operation of these laws, which lead him to rec
ommend their repeal or amendment This
lubjeot will, of course, engage the attention of
songress next winter. Daring tbe last congress
nnmber ot bills were Introduced to repeal the
pre- emption laws and amend the homestead
ind pre-emption culture laws. The measure
iras favorably reported by tbe Hon. H. B.
Strait from tlie house committee on publio
lands and afterwardd, on motion of Hr.
Pound, chairman of that committee, engrafted
in the Bundry civil appropriation bill
but the senato having adopted a rule to exclude
new legislation from appropriation bills, struck
nut the clause, and the measure fell with the
sxpiration of the congress. The subjoot will
be taken no de novo by the next congress, aud
it remains to be seen whether the proposition
becomes a law or not Some very Btrong ad
vocates of repeal, among them Mr. Washburn
ind Mr. Straight of Minnesota, come Over from
the last house and will very likely urge the
passage of the measure. Among other things
recommended by the commission is the passage
ot a law on the question of the for
feiture of certain railroad land grants
which he mentions in detail. TliiB is
also a ripe subject for the next congress, and
a number of members arc known to be ready
and eager to take it up. Among the roads
mentioned are the St. Paul, Minneapolis
Manitoba, the Braioerd branch of tho St. .taut &
Pacific, now Manitoba railroad, the Southern
Minnesota railway extension, Hastings is Da
kota, and the Lake Superior & Mississippi
These roads have been completod, but cot
within the time required by law.
THE NOBTHEBN PACIFIC!
is given in the report as one of tho roads not
completed within the time required by law,
but which are in oourse Of construction. The
Sioux Citv & St Paul belongs to another class
of roads, partly completed and, so far as
known to the general land office, construction
suspended. The commissioner says:
In the absence of congressional action lands have
been certified or patented, accordingly as roads have
been constructed, whether within or out of the
time prescribed. Your immediate predecessor sus
pended this practice prior to the meetinz of con
gress in December. 1880, bat as no legislative
action was taken, you have held that under tbe de
cision ot the supreme court of the United Slates
you bad no right to declare a forfeiture or to fur
ther suspend the issue of patents for lands along
the constructed poation of roads, e7en If the Bamo
had not been built within the prescribed time. The
remaining lands are contained in the reservation
established by law or under withdrawals made for
the protection of the grants. Meanwhile set
tlers have entered upon some of these
lands and are anxious to know whether
they must look to the railroad companies or to the
United Sta es for their titles. The public demand
for a definite settlement of the question, whether a
forfeiture is to be enforced in auy of these cases
is constantly pressed upon my attention. I con
sider It of very great importance that the earliest
possible action should be taken either to revive the
grants or declare them forfeited. If it be the judg
ment of congress that the grants should be revived,
congress may unquestionably orocribo the condi
tions of such revival aud if such action should be
taken I suggest that, all actual settlers on the land
be »aved and secured in their rights and claims to
land embraced in their settlements and improve
ments at the date of any such revival of the railway
grant.
The commissioner reports that the lands
within the old Sioux Indian reservation west of
Big Stone lake, in Dakota, have been resur
veyed, aod the western boundary line retraced,
the original surveys having been reported
fraudulent. The area shown by tho original
survey was 115,157.68 acres, and by the re
survey 137,648 acres, makiug an increase by
theresurvey of 22.540.32 acres.
THE DISPOSALS OP PUBLIO LANDS
during the year embraced 19,020,769 acres,
and Indian lands39D,235 acres inorease over
1882, about 5,000,000 acres, and over 1881,
about 8,000,000. Receipts, financial sources
from, disposals of pnblio lands, were $11,
088,479, and from Indian lands, $625,404
total, $11,713,883. Publio lands were dis
posed of as follows:
Publlcsales ^73,069
Private entries 2,178,095
Pre-emption entries 2,285,710
Mineral entries 31,520
Homestead entries 8,171,914
Timber culture entries 2,110,930
Entries with military Co. land warrants 45,114
Entries with land claim scrip 10,580
Total number entries filing posted dur
ing vear 258,685
Increase In acres 30.000,000
Increase In number of claims recorded
in 1883
over year 1882 55,548
The report says the timber land entries
act Is flagrantly violated. Information is in my
possession that much of the most valuable timber
tand remaining in the possession of the govern
ment on the Pacific coast is being taken un by
home and foreign capitalists through the medium
of entries made by persons hired for that purpose.
I have found it necessary to unspend all entries of
hia class and direct an examination.
The commissioner is of the opinion that timb
lands should be reserved bv law from ordinary
or disposal,aud sold only after appraisment and
upon sealed bids. He reoommeuds that con
gress make some legislation in relation to pri
vate land claims in New Mexioo, Colorado and
Arizona, and recommends a commissioner for
each of tb6se Territories, to be appointed to
examine and. settle these claims, lhe com
missioner recommends the passage of an act
making false and fraudulent returns of publio
Burveya punishable by tine aUd imprisonment.
Much progress has been made in tne work of
protecting publio lands and publio timber. The
iraotioeof fencing publio lands is condemned
tnd the recommendation renewed that an acl
!te passed injoining penalties for this offense
ind for preventing legal settlement add entry
jy foroe and intimidation. The commissioner
iBks
that his salary be fixed at $5,000 and for
moderate inoreaae of salaries of the princi
pal officers and clerks in bis depratment. The
sbaractor and responsibilities of the offioe
togotber with the fact that its business bas in
creased 82 per cant since 1881, appears to the
sommissiouor to justify this request.
Court of Inquiry Ordered.
The war department has issued a special
order appointing a court of inquiry to in
vestfgate the cause of the failure of the
Greely relief expedition, and report wheth
er the conduct of any officer of the army,
in the premises, callB for further proceed
ings before a general court martial, and

GEN. HAUPT RESIGNS"!?!
Hia" Retirement From tho Manage
ment of the Northern Paclflo Ral 1
road and the Causes.
From the Pioneer Press, 2d.
For some months past rumors have been
current that there were to be radical changes
in the operative department of the Northern
Pacifio. Yesterday the first and moBt import
ant of the changes were made. It was the
retirement of Herman Haupt, general man
tger, who on Oot. 20 tendered to Vios Presi
dent Oakes his resignation. In his letter of
resignation Mr. Haupt assigns as his cause for
retirement an inability to conduct tho road in a
manner oreditable to himself and satisfactory
to the company under the restrictions placod
upon him by the vice president by order of the
board of directors. The obange went into'
?ffect yesterday, and will be promulgated to
day by the issuanoe ot the following circular,
dated Nov. 1, and signed by "Vice President
Oakes:
Herman Haupt, general manager, having severed
bis connection with the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, the undersigned, in addition to bis duties
kB vice-president, will for the present also assume
the duties of general manager. The correspondence
hereto annexed will explain the situation:
The corrospondenoereferred toinoludes Mr.
Saupt's letter of resignation and Mr. Oakes'
tetter of acceptance in replv thereto. Mr.
Haupt's letter, dated Oct. 20, is addressed to
Vice-President Oakes, and is as follows:
I have received from you instructions to curtail
expenses in every department, to discontinue work
in progress and discbarge employes who have
lerved the company efficiently. The restrictions
that have been placed upon the general manager
are ot such a nature that I caunot see how it is pos
sible to centinue in the management and secure
reBulta that will be at the Bame time creditable to
myself and satisfactory to the stockholders. As
you propose to devote a considerable portion of
your time, personally, to the direction of opera
lions, it is clearly unnecessary to rotain the ser
vices of a general manager in addition, and I there
fore prefer to sever my connection with the com
pany, subject to the conditions of the five-year con
tract und9r which I assumed charge in 1881.
Mr. OakeB' reply is dated Oct 30. It is as
follows:
I have received your communication of Oct. 20.
The retrenchments ordered by the board of di
rectors are no doubt extremely radical, but they
are necessary, and if your plans for the improve
ment and protection of the property of the com
pany, and the betterment of the condition of its
employes, cannot be immediately carried into ef
fect, no one can regret the fact more than myself.
You have certainly labored zealously and intelli
gently to advance the interests you represent. It
Is true that I expect, as vice president, to difvote
much time to the supervisiou of operations per
sonally and it is also true that, in view of this fact,
the necessity for your continuance as general man
ager will be loss imperative. Your resignation is
therefore accepted, to take effect Nov. 1 proximo,
and the conditions of the contract made with you
in 1881 will be Complied with.
Mr. Haupt was appointed genera] manager iu
April, 1881, succeeding H. E. Sargent, who
then retired. Mr. Haupt at the time of his ap
pointment made a five-years' conlract with the
company. The contract was a binding one, as
by it sterms Mr. Haupt's services conld not be
dispensed witb, without his receiving payment
for the full term of office his contract called
for. The sum fixed as salary
waB
$15,000 por
annum, and it ia to this stipulation in the con
tract that Mr. Haupt makes reference in his
tetter of resignation.
Gen Sherman's Retirement.

tirement of Gen. Sherman from active com

Fortune and Rank,
Samuel Johnson.
In civilized society wo all depend up
on each other, and our happiness is very
much owing to the good opinion of man
kind. Now, sir, in civilized society ex
ternal advantages make us respected. A
man with a good coat upon his back
meets with a better reception than he
who has a bad one.
t-ir, you may analyze this and say,
"What ia there in it?" but.that will avail
you nothing for it is part of a general
system. Pound St. Paul's church into
atoms, and consider any single atom it
is, to be sure, good for nothing. But put
all those atoms together and you have
St. Paul's church. So it is with human
felicity, which is made up of many in
gredients, each of which may be shown
to be very insignificant.
Ill
civilized society personal merit will
not serve you so much as money will.
Kir, you make the experiment. Go into
the street and give one man a le .-ture
on morality and another a shilling and
see which will respect you most. Per
haps he who has a large fortune may
not be so happy as he who bas a small
one but that must proceed from other
causes than from his having tlie large
fortune, for lie who ia ricii in civilized
society must be happier than he who is
poor, ss riches, is properly used, must
be productive of the highest advantages
Money to bo sure, of itself, is of no use
for its only use is to part with it.
When I was running about town, a
very poor fellow, I was a great arguer
for the advantages of poverty, but I was
at the same time very sorry to be poor.
Sir, ail thearauments which are brought
to represent poverty as no evil show it
to be evidently a great evil. You never
find people laboring to convince vou
that you may live very^tapnily upon a
plentiful fortune. So you hear people
talking how miserable a king must be,
and yet they all wish to be in his place.

THE FEMALE HUSBAND.
Frank Dabola of Wlicoailn Engages in a
Most Entertaining Interview.
BBAHDON, Wis., Special Telegram, Nov. 1.—
Dubois, the man or woman of doubtfnl sex, whose
case has so generally aroused public cariosity, was
found by a newspaper reporter, secreted with his
companion at a farmhouse seven miles
from here
last
night. The following Interview was had, which in
a measure dears the mystery surrounding the case:
"Mr. Dnbois, you, of course, know the stories
that have been circulated concerning you?"
"I do," hesitatingly, and in a voice which conld
oot be mistaken for a man's.
"You are married to Gertrude Fuller, are you
not?"
"Iam. The ceremony was performed by Rev.
H. Li. Morrison, in Waupon."
"Yon insist that you are a man?"
"I do. I am—as long as my wife is satisfied it is
nobody's buaineis"
"Mr. Dubois, you look like a woman, act like a
woman, and there are
dozens of reasons to suppose
you are not Frank Dubois, but Mrs. Hudson, a
woman. Do you refuse to reveal yourself?"
"There is nothing to reveal."
"If yon are caught In this disgnlse you will be ar
rested. Ton should place yourself in your proper
light at onco, and thus avoid punishment.-"
"Oh, Frank I for Ood's sake tell all and have it
over," at this moment exclaimed the young and
protty wife, tears stresming down the face.
Dubois looked toward her. His lip trembled
with excitement. He burst into tears, sobs chok
ing him for a time. Finally he said "It's true,"
and endeavored to leave the room. He was re
strained and finally was induced to
TELL BIS STOBY.
He said he was really Mrs. Hudson, and had
tired ot husband and family.and determined to lose
identity SB the wife and mother by assnmlLg the
guise of a man. "My husband," she said, "went to
Illinois last spring. I immediately assumed male
attire and went to Waupon, where I had previously
met and admired Oertie Fuller. I courted her and
we were married, she not knowing me to be a
woman nntil the night, after the ceremony was
performed. I then induced her to keep silent,
which she has done. While living with my hus
band helped him support the family, peddling
soap and compounding extracts. 1 was thus
led to depend upon myself, and when I took
upon myself the support of Gertie, 1
felt fnlly able to carry tbe burden. I
papered, paintod, made and sold extracts,
and we were happy. We were preparing'to move
to Elgin, III., when my husband came upon the
scene. After he came to the house I con
cealed myeelf for a time, and. then took the
train for Brandon, Gertie remaining at, the house
of a f.-iend, following on Tuesday to Brandon,
where we stopped at the house of an acquaint
ance, and came here Tuesday evening.
I
will not return to live with my
husband and propose to wear pants and smoke
and earn my living as a man." Mrs. Dubois, or
more properly Gertie Fuller, appeared utterly
heartbrokej,sobbing continnonsly during the recall
of the story. She, however, confirmed the state
ment. She said, when questioned, that her parents
lived in Wanpun, where her father and brothel
were engaged in the nursery busi
ness. film, had married ..Frank Dubois,
(or Mrs. Hudson!," and had, off the night of their
marriage, discovered that her husband was of her
own sex. They had agreed to live to
gether, and had doue so. It was an
affair of their own and nobody was concerned but
herself. They proposed to go to Fond du Lac and
arrange to remove to Illinois, as was intended
when the sensational denouement was made that
tho parties were both women.

DESCANTS UPON DAKOTA
Gov. Ordway's Annual Report to Secre
tary. Teller on the Condition of
iflis Territory.
He Suggests that Congress Pass an En
abling Act and Submit a Consti- ..
tutution to the People.
GOV. ORDWAY'S BEPOM.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Nov. 2.—
Gov. Ordway of Dakota has submitted his an
nual report to the secrotary of the interior. It
is a voluminous document More than half of
it ia occnpied in explaining the position of tho
governor on the question of removing tha
capital and in an extensive defense of the re
moval commission. It is made up largely of
newspaper clippings, and is the old removal
fight, from the governor's point of view,.again.
The governor says the progress and develop
ment of Dakota in the last two years has been
almost phenomenal The tide of emigration
which set in Btrongly iu 1880, has been steadily
increasing tmtil during the past year.. He
thinks a fair estimate ol lhe increase in popu
lation would reach 100,000, while the increase
of assessable property has even been more
marked than the increase in the number of In
habitants. He then proceeded to call attention
to the wonderful resources of Dakota, which
are being developod iu BO largo a decree, gives
a -very encouragiug. statement, regarding the
olimate, the education and health of the people'
of Dakota, and then takos up the subject cf
dividing the Territory and admitting a part,
into the Union.
HE SAILS IN, SO TO SPKAK.
He explains at length the failure of tbe biil
creating a State out of certain counties of the
Territory, and justifies his action in allowing
the bill to expire by limitation without his ap
proval
"The failure on the part of the promoters of this
scheme," says Gov, Ordway, "to enforce favorable
executive action has resulted In an unjust and in
decent warfare on their part against the executive
and all the members of the legislative assembly
who did not support the measure, or wbo did so
from compulsion in order to secure the passage of.
measures which they deemed to be of importance
to their constituents. Men styling themselves ex
ecutive commissioners have, without sanction of
law, assumed to hold elections, and in some in
stances have induced legally ejected
officers to use election machinery to choose dele
gates to a scattered constitutional convention
which recently met at Sioux Falls, and prepared
from the censtitntlon of the various States a num
ber of tolerably fair propositions to be incorporated
in a constitution for certain counties in the south
ern part of tbe Territory. Some of tho proposi
tions put forth by thiBbody,if placed In a consti
tution. would destroy the great privilege of equal
ity in taxation, and open numerous avenues for
strong combinations and Shylocks to escape a just
share of the public burdens. While stating these
views and criticisms of the methods and aims of
some of tho adroit manipulators of this movement
looking toward division and statehood, I do not
wish to be understood as objecting to. or standing
in the way of, either division or immediate admis
sion. On the contrary, I am quite willins to co
operate with the honest sentiment of the people of
tho Territory, fairly expressed upon all these ques
tions. I recognize, however, the fact that the di
vision of the Territory and the ultimate admission
of the two States, which the population at the pres
ent time would warrant under former precedents
has become a political question, which is likely to
be solved by tbs supposed interest of political
parties. The decisive action of the minority in the
last house of representatives, in refusing by nearly
a strict party vote to take up the question of
division or admission foveas me to the conclusion
that the same party will not be likely, with more
than fifty majority in the house of representatives,
to accept a constitution emanating trom the men
who assumed leadership at the Sioux Falls gather
ing, even though the propositions there submitted
should receive a bare majority in Southern Dakota
Of the few votes which are likely to bo Dolled at
the coming November election, whon there are but
one or two county officers to bo voted for iu each
county.
THE EBINCIPAI, DANOEB,
however, lies iu the fact till!I the manipulators of
tho movement propose to subsequently eloct a
largo number of so-called State officers and a legis
lature. locate a capital and go through the same
expensive farce that was indulged in by the people
of Colorado. The result of that experiment, I am
informed by leading men of Colorado, delayed in
stead of accelerated admission, which was finally
accomplished throuSh an enabling act from con
gress and that very few of the so-called Stare of
ficers, and even those claiming to have been elected
to congress, received any recognition from
the people of the State of Colorado,
when regularly admitted into the Union.
In dealing with this question I have been governed
by my oath of olHco and the provisions of the or
ganic act which requires me. as the executive
officer of the Territory, to see that tho laws are
faithfully executed. Zhave therefore become com
pelled to discountenance the wild vatioiings ot
demagogues who have sought to inflame tho public
miud against tbe federal government and causa an
unlawful change trom Territorial to State govern
ment without tho sanction of congress, "ven though
these vaporings emanated from th.j United States
officials, whoso counsels and conduct have been in
direct violation of their oaths of office.
Gov. Ordway recommends that, if congress
does not see tit to create a new State, it pass
au act calling a constitutional convention, to
include all tbe counties, aud that it huvo power
to prepare one or two constitutions, tho
majority shall determine, which shall be sub
mitted to congress for approval. Or he thinks
the passage of a comprehensive enabling act,
to bo submitted to tho people, would bring
about a settlement of the trouble. He deniea
the charge that the capital removal bill was
rushed through without due consideration.
Tho act ia in full force and will
so remain until the supreme court
which does not meet until May, 1883, shall
pass upou the order of ouster." The capital
building at Bismarck will be completed Jau.
1, 1884, at a cost, exclusive of the ground, of
nearly $250,000. At the beginning of his re
port he says there is very little valueless land
in Dakota. Mining still continues in the Black
Hills, but the increase has not been as great as
during the previous year. The average yield
of wheat was from fifteen to twenty bushels
per aore. During the year $125,000 was ex
pended in founding and maintaining the publie
schools.
