the frequent changes In the construction of

ID DAKOTA REPUBLICAN, DE.
FINES ITS POSITION.

The people of Dakota will experience a
sensation Of relief, though it may he shad-
owed with regret, now that the editor Of the
Dakota Republican has located himself and
his oldest paper" equarely upon the anti
Bennett side Of the political fence. That
disagreeable feeling Of uncertainty as to the
particular direction in which Doctor Bur-
dick would finally shoot, will no longer bur-
den mems minds, and the less important
political. n we'll rs domestic ques-
tons, can o have a chance for considera-
ton. Thus far during the campaign, to
take a charitable view of Doctor Burdick's
position las seen from his own standpoint)
a sort Of chaotic muddle has existed caused
by the doctors persistent dlsinclination to
state emphatically who should not be elected
to congress ; but the generous heart Of the
great editor has been moved to declare itself,
and chaos has given place to order and tran.
guilty.
Except, however, the general relaxation
OF anxiety which the public mind will ex-
periencc on becoming convinced that the
leading question Of this campaign hae been
settled. We are at a loss to conjecture what
else may follow. The ~equinoctial storm
took it very mild ; the wheat market, ever
sensitive 10 the slightest disturbance, has
neglected to fuctuate, the Big Muddy flows
as turbidly as before, while the odious grass.

dant harvest.
DR.. Burdick might wish that the causes
or reasons which have impelled him to take
a stand might be made public; but as a
friend of the gentleman we would advise
that he confne these, il he has power to do
so, within the narrow limits wherein his
journal finds readers. That they are sound
reasons in the DOCTORS estimation cannot be
questioned ; that they lack every element
that should enter into a sound reason, no
unprejudiced fair minded man will deny.
And now that Doctor Burdick has plant.
ed himself on the anti-Bennett side of the
fence, we will in order that he may get a
good square look at himself as other see him
add a few words expressive of the sense OF
all true republicans concerning such politi-
cal weathercocks as he snow, ever has been
and ever will be. Here are the words:
From all democratic spies in republican
camps; from all republican papers with
democratic editors, from all such republic
cans as DR.. Burdick, good Lord deliver us.

THE PEMBINA ROAD.

The Iron Horse Within Five Miles of
CalliOpc.
Daily press and Dakotaian. [volume] (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1875-1880, 1878-09-21

Calliopc.
Sioux City Journal, 10th,
Yesterday the iron horse of the Sioux
City and Pembina railroad stood within five
miles of Calliope, and with the rails going
down at the rate of from halt 4 mile to a
mile per day, its whistle will soon startle the
nerves of the inhabitants of that quiet little
burg in the valley. Ihirty-fve or forty
men comprise the tracklaying force and with
the slight delays liable to occur they will
keep steadily at work upon the line 80 far
as graded. The depot structure at Calliope
is inclosed and will be completed by the
time the cars run in. The grading force is
now at work above Eden, having about two
miles completed out of that place. This
work is being done under contract by Mr..
=. E. Carpenter, of Beliot, who has about
seventy-five men and forty teams in his force.
The roadbed is graded and the ties laid, un.
der the contract, by the people along the
route, and the taxes in Iowa given to the
company. These taxes are voted, 60 there
can be no slip here. President Wicker says
if the balance Of the contract is fulfilled as
he expects it will be, cars will run into
Beloit by the 1st of December. Mr.. Car
penter, who is filling the contract, says he
knows of no obstacle likely to retard the
work and fully expects to have the road-bed
ready as the contract calls for. There is
every reason to expect that at the date nam
ed by Nh. Wicker the Sioux City and Penn
bina railroad will be carrying passengers
and freight from Sioux City the first road to
tap one Of the richest valleys in the west.
The value of the road to Sioux City cannot
be estimated Is it makes a, large scope of
very rich territory tributary to us which
but for this road would be drawn off by east
and west lines.
