find forgetfulness and happiness in constant
excitement and change of scene but failing
in this he had at last resolved to visit again
the land Of his birth, if only TO mark the
ravages which time had made among his
old friends. So he returned to London.
Not once had a suspicion of Fred Acton's

We publish to- day an article from the
Deadwood Times upon the subject of
the admission of Dakota as a
state and the part which Judge Bennett
will ultimately take in that important trans.
formation. State organization has for some
months past been a favorite theme with us
and we are therefore in hearty accord with
our Black Hills contemporary. From the
evils Of territorial government we have long
suffered and the day seems nearing when an
opportunity 10 escape from the onerous con
ditions imposed unon US will be given. The
requisite population, wealth and internal re-
sources now arc ours aud it remains only
that our claims be vigorously pressed. This
Judge Bennett has the ability, disposition
and influence to accomplish. Statehood
should be made one of the issues of the
campaign. The feeling is favorable in two
important sections of the territory aua with
q strong pull together we may be able to
eXtricate ourselves from the rut into which
We have been cast.

Among the men Of marked ability and SUI.
perior political sagacity who have recently
visited US from the Black Hills there is none
more prominent than the popular e~x-sheritf
Of Lawrence county, Seth Bullock. He
was the leading aud moving spirit in the re.
publican delegation from his county and
his successful management evinced a skill
which is the product only of keeL percep-
ton and a we'll balanced intellect. He will
prove a most industrious and valuable party
worker 10 the Hills this fall. 1t is probable
thai Mr.. Bullock will be q candidate for the
Office of sheriff and q most satisfactorily re-
suit Of that candidacy would be his election.
AS on officer he las already made an envi-
able reputation. We of Yankton speak
good words for Mr.. Bullock out of sincere
friendship and an interest in his advance
ment. He deserves all the party can give
to him.
