Would it be very surprising If Mr.
Hayes should, in qsite way, walk away

That excellent paper, the Bismark
Tribune. proposes to print IN extra edition
Of 10000 copies on the drst Of April.
Capt. Alexander Hughes, Of Elk poirt,
. prominent lawyer aud st one time cand,-
date for congress, has been appointed
supervisor Of the census for Dakota.
A Washington despatch to the Pion eer
Press states that the verdict in the late
Reno case is the same Is in the former
case, bounced from the service.
Why would it not be coed scheme to
count political heads in stutsman county.
Just to see how We stand, - Republican
or Democratic.
Bro. Getchell, of the Pembina Pioneer,
which by the way, is a smash up good
paper, is anxious to have IN editorial con.
vention at Fargo, some time next month.
All right, Huekleberry, we'll be there.
The Deadwood Pioneer says that it
does not belong to the Spencer ean~.
Says it is "nobody's dog and wears no.
body's collar:' that 1t is "the most per.
fectly free, unsectional and bipartisan
newspaper in Dakota"
COL Benteen of the seventh cava lrv, in
letter to friend in Yankton, says that
accuupts from Spotted Tail agency indl-
cate that there viii! be business for the
troops in the spring. -.
The case of Elder Buck, Of Iowa, charged
with cruelty beating and suspected of
numbering his son, seems to be one Of pure
cussedness rather than religious tanaticism
though he belongs to the same sect as the
Pocasset murderer.
The Press and Dakotian saws that Sec

the tenacity of one who has gobbled u

ouray, but permits no one else to talk
with any one of the Indians 49,. 2,..
The Wisconsin people look enviously
upon Minnesota's freedom from legislative
vexation this winter and long for biennial
sessions themselves. A proposition to
initiate her constitutional amendment in
this respect was made in the legislature
on the 22d.
The suit of Gen. Boynton, of the Gin
clnnati Gazette, against Gen. w. T. Sher.
man, it it comes to trial. will disclose
good deal Of ucwritten history. The
gross provacation by Gen. Sherman has
put Gen. Boynton in position where he
cannot retreat without dishonor.
The Wisconsin legislature is quick to
act upon one suggestion of Gov. Smiths
message. An amendment to the constitut-
ion was proposed in the assembly on the
22d, whose effect will be to tax church
property. Other states are giving the
question favorable consideration.
The railroad consolidation fever still
RACES. The rumOr ola lease of the new
Southern trunk line of the PENNSYLVANIA
which is contradicted this morning, was
a seasonable one The line ia eSceedipglv
important, stretching from Lake Mich
igan to the gulf and is worth capturing
by any great road, especially the Penn
sylvania, which wants a southern con.

The Fargo Times says that the bill in.
troduced to establish land Office 1T this
place has been killed. That bill, Bro.
Chambers, will some of these fine morn.
ings arise like = ben,ghtcd morning

past. The business of jamestown and
