The letter states that Dakota outside the
Black Hills will give Judge Bennett four

materially affect those figures.

The Yankton Press of Sept. Z brings
Jews that the judicial mantle has fallen
upon Col: g. G. Moody. who will enter up.
on the duties Of the office as soon as bis
commission arrives, which will be about
the 18th. He will -thereupoa at once pro-
coed to the Black Hills, which comprises
his district, and will on tie Goth commence
his first term of court. This appointment

recognition ofthe axiom among our people,
that the Offices of the territory can be filled

character which fit him for the position, he

The democratic still hunt which was in
augurated under such spacious auspices,
is getting along swimmipgly. The stillness
prevailing over earth prior to the Divine
edict of "let there be light" was an ear
splitting racket compared with the quiet
which now broods over the scene of demo-
cratic operations in Dakota. The stiffness
of the hunt is equaled only by the stiffness
of the candidate when he returns from one
of his noiseless tramps among the people.

From the P%hntagraph VIZ learn the re-
suit of the opening meetings of the dem
ocratic campaign which occurred in Sioux

occur again Monday and Tuesday evenings,

want any Tripp meetings over: that way.
The first affair wasa serenade, where good
music brought together enough people to
talk to. Mr.. Trip made his speech.
The Paragraph tells the balance of the
story:

The October number opens with A Work
ingmans Story" which, whatever may be It's
shortcomings otherwise, is certainly forci
bic statement by an unemployed workingman
of that problem which starcs so many of his
fellow laborers in the face, viz, How to keep
Oft starvation. The writer himself had some
experience on the road, and this is his general
opinion of tramps:
| often met those who were thoughtful,
earnest, and pretty well informed, and always
stayed with such men long enough to have a
talk The men on the road are much like
those at home: they are Of many classes.
There are thieves among them looking for OPP
pOrtunities for robbery and low fellows whom
ii is disagreeablc to meet, but who never do
any serious mischief while there is Il man in
sight, though they are terror to women and
children IN country places. The moral condi-
tons of such a life are very unwholesomc.
But there are great many tramps who have
nothing bad about them, except that they are
dirty and repulsivc in appearance. They are
discouraged and helpless, and do not know
what to do. A man out of employment is al
ways disagrecable object. Wherever he may
be, he is always out of place. He is supertlu.

place for him, unless it is underground
