The delegate who represents Dakota dur.
ing the coming two years will occupy a 70.
sitlon of trust and responsibility equal to
that of any full iedged member of the sem
ate or house. He will represent a large
and Increasing constituency scattered over
an area of country possessing varied inter.
ests and In some instances adverse inter-
ests. Upon him will fall the duty of clos.
ing out our territorial existence and trans.
ferring us into the union of states. The
crowds of settlers now moving across the
border will impose upon him fresh labors
without end. They will look to him for
aid in their efforts to develop the country,
aud whenever he fails in carrying out their
requirements, as fail q delegate must at times,
they will not give to the result that same
p'tient understandiugIwh:ch is charsc 'er;s.ic
of the older occupants of territorial soil. He
will have a new people to Get for and new
wants to cater to. The republican party
should therefore use the utmost care in Its
selection of a man for q position so impor-
tant. Local prejudices should not be per.
United to enter into the counsels of the con.
yIntion TO govern it. but the man best fitted
tor the duties of the position should be
made the hearty choice of all. regardless of
any and all other considerations.

The Sioux Falls Paragraph puts forward
a proposition that congress be petitioned to
give to Dakota a fourth judge and suggests that
Sioux Falls be made the headquarters Of the
new district to be organized as his field of
labor. There is no question about the al
most absolute necessity for a division of the
second district, but it is very difficult in
these days of economy to induce congress to
recognize wen = necessity. Since the Black
Hills were declared a legal portion Of Da-
kota the area Of labor assigned to Judge
Shannon has been doubled. Added to this
is the unprecedented influx Of new popula-
ton which brings more than its proportion
ate increase of litigation, and generally Of
that nature which requires the closest
scrutiny and the most careful consideration.
This is the situation in the second judicial
dirtrict. The interests Of the people and

ing any vessels, trhee has been q very de-
cided advance in the market price of all
sea-going steamers that are in first-class
order.
Up to the present the Russian officials
have kept very quiet, and no offers have
been openly made to purchase any vessels,
although they do not attempt to deny that
they might be induced to make some pur-
chases if they were met in reasonable man
ner. The fact is, the rumors that have been
spread of the Russian Government having
sent over agents to buy line of seagoing
fast steamers have so carried away the own
ers of nearly all available vessels that it is
understood they are prepared to ask a price
equivalent to more than what the vessels
could be built for. If the Russian officers
find that they can not get any vessels at rea-
sonable figures they may possibly have
some built, as there are builders now ready
to furnish the vessels they require in four
months from the date of the order. One
difficulty in the way of the Russian officials
is that competition is raised by English
agents that are also said to be in the mar
ket.
1t was learned yesterday, through reliable
source, that several steamers had been care
folly inspected by the English agents. and
an offer had also been submitted to their
owners. There is no doubt that the English
are as equally well represented in this mar
ket as the Russians, but they appear also
to be prevented from making any purchases
by the prices that are being asked by the
owners. A gentleman intimately connected
with English officials said yesterday that
they had cabled across to purchase four
steamers that had been offered them in
France. as they were far better than any
thing they could get in this country for the
same money. The Russian officers remained
in the hotel last evening busily engaged at
their correspondence. Capt. L. ?. Seinetz-
chine returned from Washington late in the
