A congressman writes that it is well understood in Washington and not de nied amoBg democrats that Springer was the author of the Aberdeen conven tion. Demooratio partisans there smile over it and call it a sharp praotioe. The city oounoil lest evening adopted the report of the committee on sewers and instrnoted the committee to prooeed to perfeot a system of sewerage. This is a move in the right direction. The intentions of onr admirable water sys tem will now be ooiried ont and the health of the oisy gte&tiy improved. The applioation for au eleotrio light franohise waa referred to a ooancil oom mittee with instructions to report at a Bpeoial meeting. This, it is hoped, in sures an early and favorable response to the request of the eleotrio light com pany. The material is on the ground and the oompany is ready to go to work. Edward G. Spillman, who has been nominated register of the land office at Devils Lake in plaoe of Henry O. Lord, is from Rapid City. He is an attorney there and a brother of L. T. bpillman, who married ex-Senator Cameron's daughter. This does not appear to be a Churoh appointment. Spillman was baoked by M. H. Day and Ex-Governor Pierce. There is no politioal issue in local matters this spring. There is no pro hibition issue and no anti-prohibition issue. We are getting alo&K jyell enough politically and morally. The only issue is buEioesa issue. We soad to place the progressive business element again in. the front and to keep them there until the problem of the future is solved. The past year has been a good one for Tank ton The coming year may be made a better one. The Mitohell Republican has made a thorough canvass of the south-half of Da kota in pursuit of acourate information relative to loss of life by the blizzard of January 12th and is enabled to present the following official figures: Total number of oounties heard from 44 Number of square miles covered, about 40,000 Population by oensus of 1886 250,000 Present population, at least 300,cc0 Total number deaths reported 109 Losb of live stook aotually reported 1,625 Estimated amount not heard from 300 Total loss of live stock 1,926 Percentage of loss of life to present population—1 in 8,000. This statement effectually disposes of the various canards afloat through the eastern press relative to extensive loss of life and property by the storm of the 12th. General Sheridan, being formally inw terviewtd upon the subjeot, by an asso ciated press reporter, stated positively that he would not acoept a nomination to thq presidency if tendered—that be did not want that offioe or any other oivil offioe—that nothing would induce him to leave the profession to whioh forty years of bis life had been devoted. "So," said General Sheridan, "all talk about my being a candidate^may as well end." The associated press agent was still persistent and he continued— "But suppose the republican tion should oonvsn- Gen. Sheridan—Nominate me? 1 would npt aoeept. But there is not tbe slightest probability of being nominated and, in any event, I would not aocept. No, not under any ciroumstanoes. I do not want that or any other oivil effioe. This elosed the interview and the an swer of the lieutenant general seems de cisive. He ocoupies the highest attain' able position as a military man and his ambition is satisfied, Like General Sherman he has no politioal yearning. This being the unalterable eonolusion of General Sheridan, republican sentiment will now crystallize about Senator Sher man, the moat available man within tbe party—the strongest republican in the south and the strongest republican in New Tork. The Sioux reservation matter still presents irreconcilable obstacles. As the oase now stands Mr, Dawes is unal terably opposed to tbe Peel bill, whi'l. has been reported in the house, while the house oommittee is as strongly op posed to the proposed submission olause of the Dawes bill. A meeting was held Saturday at Washington for tbe settle mentof existing difficulties, in whioh Senator Dawes, J. H. King, Frank Pettigrew, Delegate Gifford end one or two others, friends of tbe Stoox bill were participants. It was hoped, by a fair disoussion of the question, to oome to some understanding with Mr. Pawas by whioh a compromise o! the deoidedly different views could be reiohed. A plan was, it is said ^finally caggested by Whioh she submission olnnso of tbe Dawes bill will be aooepted, Senator Dawes agreeing to allow the insertion in his bill of a clause appropriating a large sum of money for oash annuity to be aeed in seonring from the Indians a relinquishment of their right to the lands. The proposition was merely disoassed and no action was taken, the purpose of Messrs. King and Pettigrew being to asoertain how far Senator Dawes would go in the direction of a compromise. Mr. Dawes would not consent to relinquish his submission olause. The proposition will be laid be fore the members of the house oommii tee on Indian affairs and if it be thought prudent, it will bs adopted. Delegate Gilford is not pleased with the arrange ment, he believing that the Peel bill, as reported, oan be out through the house, and if not through the senate that the bill oan be fixed up in the conference oommitiee so as to seoure the ratification of the agreement of 1882. There is now a probability that Con gressman Baker's bill for the division of Dakota and the admission into the union of the south half will pass the house of representatives. Once through that body its suooess is assured, ss tbe senate stands ready to aocept it, Oon Rressman Cox, of New York, democrat, has openly deolared his purpose to favor the Baker bill and oppose the Springer measure for the admission of Dakota as one stbie along with Montana, Wash ington and New Mexico. Congressman Oox rises above party prejudices and in dorses the oause of Dakota because he is oonvinoea that it is right and that divi sion has the endorsement of a large ma jority of the peeple. Mr. Oox gives to the country an example to be applauded and emulated by the members of both parties. Another democrat—Congress man McShane, of Nebraska—has made himself illustrious by seconding the declarations of Congressman Oox and declaring for divided Dakota. These are two strong and influential men in oongress and it is probable that they will seoure from the 168 demoorats of the house enough followers to give to the Baker bill a majority. The house con sists of 168 demoora.3163 republicans and four indepsnd.-u' The lemoorats have boot, coon ted solidly sgginst di vision and the republicans and indepen dents—157—solidly for division. To carry the division measure twelve democratic votes are needed. Two have been seoured^and only ten more are needed. If Mr. Oox follows vigorously his determination to fight the Springer measure he will seoure the needed votes. He resigned his plaoe on the committee on territories for this purpose. Da kota's division chances have largely im proved,] Where are Ordwsy John son aod his disoiples? NO CAPITAL Tho Dakota Compilers lisavo the Beat •f Ucrernmeat Unprovided far. Yknkton correspondence St. Paul Pioneer Press: Where is the capital? The commissioners authorized by the last legislature to frame out of existing legislation the general laws of the terri tory have finished their work, and pub lished it to the world. Tbe commission has, for the most part, used the manual as it found it. It has dotted a few i's and orossed a few t's, it has repealed some of the bad spelling, and re-enaeted only apart of the bad grammer. It has painstakingly arrasged the old laws in a new order, and soatterad the new laws at intervals through tbe mass. It has supplemented the whole with a copious, if not a helpful index. It has omitted the laws it deoided were re pealed it has patched np the laws it thought were modified. It has inoiuded tbe laws it saw fit to allow to stand. It has given us perhaps more law than we need* It has relieved us of one law we did not want. It has abolished the capital removal law, and it has wisely foreborne to supply a substitute. That famous law that oorrupted one legislature by its passage and oorrupted another by tbe efforts to se oure it repeal, that embarrased and divi ded court* and agitated the entire peo ple, has passed out of existence by the mere silenoe of tbe commissioners. Tou will look in vain through the elaborate index tor tbe wordB "capital" or "seat of government." You will explore the aualytio arrangement for suoh a beading and find none. Mustering up courage to go through the vast volume seotion by ssotion, yon will find no provision for a sest of government, no designation of a plaoe for tbe oapitol. Foxes have holes and birds of tbe air have nests, but tbe government of Dakota has notwb«*e to lay its head. It may have been the purpose of tbe commissioners to abro gate a law to whioh they and many of us objeot. They may have intended tbe covert implication that the present gov ernment is an "airy nothing" by leaving it without a "local habitation or a name." But whatever thnir objeot, the great faot remains that for the first time in history a great politieal com munity ia trying the experiment of being governed without a sest of government. If this experiment suoceeds it will be of inoaloulable value to the whole oivilized world. England may lose her London, France her Paris, Italy her Borne and Alaska her Sitka, eaoh with perfeot equ animity. The loss will be less a loss than a gain. But Dakota will reap the greatest benefit of all from her experi ment, The capital question will be defi nitely settled. Dakota, having no capi tal, will have no capital question, Sueh a situation may injure a few wire pullers, "workers" of legislatures and manufaa turesof "combinations," but a long suffering community may well rise in thankfulness and bestow its united blessing on the two men who have done it suoh lasting benefit The only trouble is tbe compilation is not yet the law. Kxelteaaeat at Buffalo Orap, Buffalo Gap, Dak. Feb. 18—The ex citement consequent from the killing of twooowboys by citizens some weeks since bas entlrsJy subsided and has been Bupplanted by an exoitemont of a more jubilant nature, owing to the prospeots for the completion of railroad construc tion to this point in tbe near future. TheChioago & Northuvutern railroad oompany, whioh has had surveying par ties here for the past two weeks, has completed satisfactory surveys to the marble and sand stone quarries near here and through the natural gap into the Blaok Hills, whioh leads through exten ve marble quarries and to immense tin deposits. Rumor says that a B. AM. railroad company surveying party is sow northward bound from Orawford, Neb., toward the marble quarries of this yioiu ity, while it is positively known that* parly of Milwaukee & St. Paul surveyors are now a tew miles east of here on the Oheyenne river en route from Chamber lain, Dak., to this point. It is evident all railroads now desiring to enter the Blaok Hills from tbe esst are making Buffalo Gap their objective point, this being the natural gateway to the inter ior of the Blaok Hills. These faots add ed to the unusual flow of emigration during the last two weeks are the agen cies that have conspired to make the town jubilant over his prospeots. Town property has advanoed 100 per eent. "I an weary of living,' Blaok, 'For I'm fairly worn ont with the aohe baok moaned poor Hr. in Mjr nerrp. are ohalm ».Of wealcnem and vain.
