An Hour's Audience, During Which Judge Edgerton Ably Presents Arguments in Support of the Territory's Admission. Dakota Talks to the President WasHINGTOY, Jan, 19, gram.|—A delegation from com- posed in part of Senators Edgerton and Moody, Representative Kanouse, Governor Mollette and Judge John H. Drake, called upon President Cleveland this afternoon by appointment, and were heard upon the ques- tion of dividing the territory of Dakota, ad- mitting to statehood the southern half and organizing the northern portion into North Dakota territory, Upona previous visit of these gentlemen at the white house Mr. Cleveland expressed a desire to hear the Da- kota side of the question, and Invited a con- sultation. The delegation oceupied more than an hour, and during the entire time they were listened to in- the most attentive manner, Senator Edgerton did most of the talking, and in the course of his remarks, said that Dakota was grateful for an oppor- tunity of assuring the president that they ( Are not revolutionists; that everything done by them has been done in the most orderly manner and in accordance with established precedents, and for an opportunity to lay be- fore him the reasons. which. have iudueed them to take the steps they have, < He then recited to the president the aetion of the leg- islature of Dakota iir authorizing a constitu- tional convention, the work as performed, and how the result had been laid before con- s It will take, Mr. President, a very astuto lawyer,” said Senator Edgerton, “to d t anything revolutionary in the procecaings of the convention.” “But it has been said”’ continued he, “that there was no authority for calling the constitutional convention—in other words that the Iaw enacted by the leg- islature is without authority and consequent- Iy void. I will not examine the question as to whether the organic act passed by con- gress, in vesting the legislature with power to legistato upon all rightful subjects of leg- islation vot prohibited by that act gave the territorial legislature power to provide by law for eonstitutional convention or not. ‘Ihatis not necessary for our present pur- poses. When the statutes are silent, pre- cedents make law. While the constitution of the United States provides that congres shall have the power toadmit new states, it nowhere provides in.direct terms or - by im- t steps shall be taken to bring the matter of admission of a new state to the attention of congress, or how or with whom the first steps shall be initjated, Precedents In many instances congress ated the proceedings by providing for a eonvention, - In other cases, and not a few, conventions have assembled by authority of the people of the territory.” Senator Edgerton named a number of precedents showing low territories hive been admitted to the Union of states, and then continwed: “We confidently elaim that our course was ‘justifiecd by abundant preecdents. Some have claimed that Dakota Was putsuing an unusual and: revolutionary course in electing her oflicers. 1 think - that the parties who make this eharge have not carefully read history In connection with the - admission of other states, In nearly-every @, 50 far as 1 am informed, the state, prior to admission, has elected its state om- cers, 1t has been said by some few that the people of Dakota do not desire division on arallel, Tinvite your atten- tion to the evidenee on, that question, The legislature in 1871 passed a memorial to * eon- £ress by a unanimaus vote to divide the te: ritory on the forty-sixth parallel years latera similar memorial was passed with but four dissenting- votes in both houses. Again in I another memorial passed with-but one - dissenting vote in both louses. Again in June, 1837, another like memorial ‘passed - both houses unanimously. Again' at the next sossion in 1519, a protest rinst the admls- slon of the territory as one stato was passed. At the mext session a memorial was passed asking for division into th. territovies, In 1584 a bill for a constitutional convention for south Daketa was passed by the legislature, but failed to become a law for want of the governor’s approval. At the last session of the legislatuze it pusted the law providing for # constitutional eonvention, and the same legislature passed a. memorial to congress asking for division .on the Torty-sixth paral- lel. The legislature is composed of twenty- four members of the council und Torty-eight members of the house. Upon this vote there were 23 ayes in the council and no nays, and in the house 45 ayes, “Thus it will be seen that at every session of the legislature for the past fifteen years the representatives of the people Laye been pronounced and nearly unanimous upon this question of division. What better mode s anyone for determining the will or choice of the people? The party con- ventions of each party, composed of del- egates from the whole territory, declared in favor of division in 1554, Another evide of the desire of our people uvon this quest is the fact that for a nuwmber of years, when- ever a public institution has been provided in south Dakota, a like institution has been pro- vided by law in north Dakota, The located one university at Vermillion in Dakota and one at Grand Forks iu north Da- kota, one insane asylum at Yankton in south Dakota and one at Jamestown in north I Lota, one penitentinry at Sioux Falls in south Dakota and one in Bismarck in north Da- kota, and so with other institutio “The supporters of this movement are not confined to one party, ‘L'he first convention which met at Huron to initiate proceedings for a constitutional convention was presided over by an able and well-known democrat, formerly a member of congress from Illinois. The tirst constitutional convention which met at Sioux Falls in 1853 was presided over by u very eminent lawyer, a demoerat, the present distinguished chief justics our su- prewe court. In view of these facts, we claim that there cannot be question as to the desire of our people on the mujm of division of the territory upon the forty-sixth parallel, #s provided for in the constitution now sub- witted to congress, “The next, and perhaps more vital ques- tion, will be, is that portion of the territory south of the forty-sixth parallel prepared for admission? Dukota Las been u territory longer than auy other teritory which has heretofore been admitted into the union, That portion of it now seeking admission has o greater population than any organized territory ever had when adwmitted into the unlon. ~Its population is over 203,000, 1t has more and better equipped publie institutions than any territory ever had, 1t has a system of frea schools supported entirely by tionaud derlving no aid from the fi:‘uu! of the sixteenth aud thirty-sixth sve- w of publie lauds, now lying idie. Last year we expended for school purposes §1,20, 000, The senator gave some interesting and pertinent statistics, showing the growth and improvements in Dakofa, and con- tinued: “There has been some critieism about the propriety of dividing the state, The founders of the republic never contemplated the idea of a few large states, but rather a greater number of small medium sized states. Considering, then, all these questions, Mr. President, that Dakota has been a territory so long, that her population is so great, that her industries are s0 large, that ev condition and purpose of territorial law has been subserved, that the proposed constitution is repubiican in form, and that our people have so long and patient- ly awaited the will of congress, we con- fidently expeet the approval of just men who will give the question an intelligent and impartial consideration, “It has been suggested, ’ continued Senator Edgerton, “In some quarters, that while congress makes annual appropriations for certain expenses we should not be anxious for admission, This is anarrow view of such a question, and [ maintain that when a terrltory has fulfilled all these conditions, and still desires to re- main a ward, if there ever be one, congress had better emancipate her willing or unwill- ing, unless there are exceptional reasons to the contrary. If a people that have fulfilled all the conditions of territorial tutelage, which have the wealth, the numbers and in- telligence entitling them to emancipation, should willingly and uncomplainingly re- main in that inferior condition, it would be an evidence of their incapacity for emanci- pation and selt government, and bo a_cause of serious apprehension with patriotic states- men everywhere,” At the conelusion of Senator Edgerton's argnment Mr. Cleveland asked many infor- mal and- practical questions regarding the appearancé of the - face of the country throughout the territory, education, improve- ments, the character of the people, the benefit to be derived by the passage of the Harrison bill now before the senate, and in different ways evineed a keen interest. The delega- tion was very favorably impressed with the reecption, and believe they made a_good im- pression upon their auditor, To-morrow they will be heard on the same subject by the house committee on territories. Dakotaians lere have made rapid progress during the past few days in this matter, They have en- listed a number of prominent democrats in bnlh branches of congress in their cause, having been assured if they ean help it, the question shall not be a party one, To-night the Dakotatans believe tiey see their way clear to success. - MAUD MILLER'S I'O\ ERTY, The Story Positively Denied—Her hiftless Husband. .

Drs Moixes, Towa, Jan. 19.—[Special ' gran.]—The Towa State Horticultural so¢ convened in nineteentl: annual meeting this morning, The state is divided into twelve districts, and these were well represented in the meeting today. The fiest papers read were by members of the committee. Mr. Porter thought that the white pine was the best evergreen for general planting, being the most rapid grower. A paver by Mr. Gardner of Osage, was read on the same sub- jeet. “Lhe discussion following was in favor of red cedar for hedging purposes, Hemlock was eonsidered too tender for most positions. The white pine had the most friends for general planting in the north- castern part of the state, For close winded breaks it was thought that notining could ex- cel Norway spruce. “The ofticers of the association are Silas Wil- son president, and Professor Budd secr eta The president is the member of the lower house of the legislature from Cass county.

Hence if Senator Sutton’s bill giving the governor power to remove mayors who do not enforce the laws should pass, it is elaimed that it wotld not apply to these cities. These cities pecial charters from the state, and not under the general incorpo-. ration act, so it is claimed that these special charters constitute a contract between the state and the municipalities, which the state cannot impair without violating the provision of the federal. constitution- forbidding the impairment of the obligations of a contraet. The removal of a city’s” mayor, it:is said, would be a very serious impairment of ‘a city’s chartered right.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—[Spacial Tele- gram. |—Every day has a growing tendenc toward compromise with reference to the sii- ver coinage question. Indications point to an incroase inthe amount of silver in the standard dollar as such a _compromise. The opponents of the silver dollar are seeing that they cannot possibly get suspension of coin- age, and are inclined to accept whatever they can get. An increase of the amount of sil- rin a standard dollar, so that it might be worth about 100 cents, would be pretty satis- “factory to them.
