Our Next Delegate.

Seldom is man put up for Congress
whose opponents do not throw out
hints of his incompency for the position;
but not'a whisper of the kind has been
raised against Judge Kidder. Seldom
does it happen, too, that this office of
all others obtain an unwilling candidate
by the earnest solicitations of its best
men; unwilling because it would be,
instead of promotion, an actual down
ward step to resign so high and COM
manding place as the Supreme Bench,
to ruf, even d successful race for the
less exalted place Of Territorial Dele
gate.
Our people appreciate the favor of
Judge Kidder's consenting at last in
the interest of the peace and success of
Republicanism to become their standard
bearer in the contest. They know his
extraordinary legal and legislative at
tainments, and they know, too, that he
will do honor to his constituency, by
bestowing upon his duties in Washing
ton the same conscientious fidelity
which has placed his services on the
Supreme Bench beyond criticism or re.
proach. @ I
We gave at full length last week .
valuable opinion, written by his hand,
which lawyers pronounce to be token
OF, high ability. !, It was on q subject of
high local interest, too, on which the
three Justices were agreed, but in con-
flict with the War Office at Washington.
Our intended comment was crowded
out; but we are sure that all who pursue
|. it will say that the author of this
opinion will command the respect Of
this best legal gentlemen he may meet
in Congress. e
To fill . position in the House, with
honor, q man must be q thorough mas
ter of not only the legal profession, and
competent to draft any new bill so 1t
will stand the scrutiny of others and
the unfailing test Of its operation; but
he also needs extensive experience in
Legislative business, in the duties Of
official position, and the thousand
Isources Of information acquired only By
experience in public life. Such man
is Judge Kidder, and who is his "oppo.
nent?" No one, in point Of fact; he
has none, and we rest secure in.the hope
Of his pncontested and easy success.

THE EFFECT OF BURLEIGH'S
WITHDRAWAL. ,s
A Sick Looking Lot With Nobody
To Enthuse Them.

A gentleman, visiting at Yankton,
writes as follows, concerning the disap.
pointments of the Yankton bummers:
The Yankton ring, who seem to think
that Yankton is the Territory, are the
only people who are anxious to beat
Kidder-and their opposition is merely
to secure their semi-annual dividends.
They thought they had a good thing ID
Burleigb, but he dropped on them the
second time; and as for Miller, they
never had any use for him, because he
had no funds to run the saloons and pay
the cappers. Politics, in Yankton means
business, and + think it time for the peo-
pie of the Territory to show the AFRO
CANT 2 rings here, that there are other
places in the Territory besides Yankton,
and other people besides those who live
in Yankton. Burleigh refusing to spend
his money, and Miller not having it to
spend, Al, . last resort, they again ap-
peal to Armstrong, Notwithstanding he
had twice most positively refused; and
while he does not now consent to be-
come q candidate, he graciously informs
them that if elected he will serve, and
50 would any one else. But in the ab-
sence Of Mr.: Armstrong, who is snugly
ensconsed in Washington for the win
ter; and more important in the absence
Of his money, even the bummers here
in Yankton will not enthuse worth a
cent: and SO he will get but very few

aalism than Brick Pomeroy. For him
it wrecked pleasant home, and drove
from his door one of the loveliest Of
women, and q charming daughter. It
hurled him from q high position, and
robbed him Of his wealth. His expert
ence is similar to that of hundreds Of
others, and the following is his present
opinion, which more than one aching
heart will fully endorse:
I'VE have studied the phenomena Of
Spiritualism for years. Have given it
muchof time and weeks of thought.
Have mixed with mediums, sat in cir
cles, listened to wonderful things, seen
strange sights and startling experiences,
but do not know that we are one whit
BETTER Drawer Or more honest than be-
fore entering upon this Investigation.
The lessons learned in the lap Of the
good woman who taught us of the BIZ
Bile, have stood us better in all the bat
ties Of life and conflict with corruption,
than has all the knowledge yet obtained
through ispiritualism. The Bible taught
us. that the soul was immortal. Spirit
ualism does nothing more. The Bible
tells us to be pure, upright, virtuous
and united in faith with those who are
workers for Immortality and upright
walkers on the roadsof life.
Spiritualism leads to Free Love, adul-
terry and infldelity. It isin and of it.
self = puzzle; On enigma; amass Of dis.
integrated rubbish; very much of the
order Of nightmare, as eliminated by
those Of its mountebanks who stand at
the head of the Spiritualistic Society Of
the United States. The truth and beau
tt there is in 1t are so wrapped up in
Free Love-, Free Lust, frothF and nasti-
ness, that he who believes that cleanli-
ness is next ttoi Goodness cannot touch
the uncleaus thing and be in communion
with its chief officers. n
Spiritaalism claims several millions
Of followers in this country, and yet is
not strong enougheto eject virtuous
or responsible person as the head Of its
organisation. It has no churches, no
college other thsn houses of prostitu-
tion. n.whsre its Hulls and Woodhulls
can study for its ministry. It has no
direct line of policy, but is broken,
twisted, fragmentary and at war against
itself ID all It's teachings. It is : junk

ton Of spirits speaking through

therefore it is not the thing for us to
follow, though others may do as they

n, For years the Republicans 81 Dakota'
Territory have contrived, through the
tdissantions which have divided them,
to elect Democratic delegate TO Con-
gress. They have now happily buried
their mutual animosities, and Judge j.
P.sKidder,a gentleman whose decided
ability and hig gh3 and honorable charac-
ter commands the respect and confidence
of all parties, has been induced to ac-
cept the nomination for delegate, which
was unanimously rendered him in the
interest of peace and harmony. Judge
Kidders was for years q resident Of st.
Paul, where he has multitude Of warm
friends, who will rejoice to. see the citi-
zens Of Dakota sevince such . sagacioLs
appreciation of their true interests as
to send 50 able,and true-hearted . man
as Judge Kidder to represent their in.
terests in Congress. Dakota, which. is Z
rib Of Minnesota taken from its.side in
1868, still seems to- old Minnesotians .
part of Minnesota. There is q remark
able unity of interest between the State
and Territory arising from their close
geographical relationship. There is
hardly great railroad in Minnesota
whose destined extention will not ira
verse the plains Of Dakota The North.
ern Pacific already crosses the eastern
half to the bank of the Missouri. The
WinonaI& st. Peter has reached across
the Western border of Minnesota to

Dakota contains an srea Of nearly
150, 900 square miles. Divided by an

Of Dakota has made TIVE or three at

ROBERT BATES,
me Murderer of Joseph BriIey,
Wno Was Captured at BARTLETT by


Who was Captured M RarfIe1f Nv
Detective CFnnmer.
The Nashville Banner Of Yesterday.
the 18th, has the following account Of
Bates and the crime for which he stands
indicted in Davidson county, and for
whom reward Of $500 has been offered
and who was captured by Detective
Harry Cranmer near Bartlett on last
Tuesday:
1t will be remembered that on the night
OF the murder, Joseph and Robert Briley
and some other young men had been out
on fox hunt, and on returning home,
stopped at Payne's and participated in
the dance Joseph Bnley engaged to
dance with young lady Robert Bates
had engaged her also for the same set.
Just before they com menced dancing for
that set, however, Joseph Briley was on
the floor conversing with his intended
partner, when Bates came into the room,
observed Joseph Briley talking to her,
and Immediately went to her and said,
II believe this is our set. Joseph
Briley remarked, "No, it's ours" Bates
then said, Il will leave it to the lady"
to which Briley agreed, whereupou she
said, 10. Briley, it is yours" When
she concluded the remark, Briley said,
well, / will defend it, then" Bates
then turned around and said, " Well,
I'll dance over here" and went over OPP
posite TO Joseph Briley and partner.
But Bates did not remain there more
than half minute before he said to his
newly.engaged partner, "Tll be back in
a minute" and with that left the room,
going into the hall, procuring ten
inch navy revolver from his brother
hand, and returning again into the
room where the dance was about
to commence. When he had reached the
door a woman seeing revolver in his
hand, screamed out that man was go
ing to shoot somebody. When Bates
arrived opposite Joseph Briley and part
ner be said, :" Look here, I'm going to
shoot I'm going to kill somebody"
AS he said that, Joseph Briley said,
Well, shoot, then" and he had not
fairly gotten the words out of his mouth
before Bates sent leaden messenger
through his heart. Briley clapping his
hand upon his heart, staggered back and
said, "Oh, my Godl Oh, my Godl' and |
fell back dead. Bates then commanded
Everybody stand back. The first one
that lays bis hand on me will serve in
the same way" and with this walked out
into the yard, every one in the room
standing back, amazed at what had &C.
Cured. After he had reached the yard
Bates said: There is one more of the
family l want to kill, referring to Rob
ert Briley, who yet remained in the
house, and left for parts unknown.
The jury, after careful investigation,
returned a verdict that Joseph Briley
came to his death from apistol shot fred
from the hands of Robert Bates, delibe-
'rately, wilfnlly, without any just cause
or provocation; murder in the first de-
gree"

HACK stand Troubles.

This morning an order was issued by
Mayor League to Chief of Police Athy
to remove all the hacks from in front Of
business houses on Main, between Madi-
son and Monroe streets, on the petition
of Johnson & Vance, Francisco & Wig
ging, 0. Bannon & Morris, Mansfield &
Higbee, E. L. Michot aud E. G. Barna-
by. The Chief also removed the hacks
from the stand in front of Court Square
on Main, and designated North and
South Court streets as the hack stands.
On these latter streets there is but little
travel, while on Main street the travel
was considerably impeded by the hacks
standing in front of Court Square.
The only objection to placing them on
North and South Court is that in few
months the horses will kill all the beau
tiful shade trees growing on the edge of
the pavement. Thirty three shade trees,
that once adorned the west side of
Court.square, have disappeared, the
hack horses having killed them, and it
is to be expected that the trees on North
and South Court and Second streets will
share the same fate. These trees should
be protected from vandalism.
