EDITORIAL NOTES..
Beedee will be hanged. So reads his
late sentence.
The Sioux Valley Journal trots out r.
r. Petti1 rev, Of Sioux Fall, for Congress.
Kelleher thinks that Col. Lonsberry
would not care to bother with legislative
honors. Perhaps not. Kelleher would
not either (s)
The probabilities are that there will be
no less than six candidates for register of
deeds this fall. Remember, boys, that the
still lover marriss the girl.
We notice by the Fargo Dnily Argus
that the enterprising Northern Pacific
will build uew freight depot and pass
snger house At Moorhead.
We also learn from the same paper that
the Northern Pacific railroad company
is having thorough test made, under the
supsrintendsncy Of Col. Clcugh, Of the
feasibility OF tuDneling the Missouri river
at Bismarck.
D M. Kelleher, whose politi II record
10 long and full Of deceit and unparalleled
crookedasss, proposes to carry the county
this fall by storm. HIS plans are al laid,
and we'll laid, but the question arises:
Will our people submit to them'
Justice Brownie 10 tho dark horse, and
will be put on the track just before the
fall election. He wants to be register of
deeds, and Kelleher has pledged himself
to work for him.
James Lees says tia, lie 10 Barnes man
in spite of the fact that the good old gen.
tleman has made him pay several fines
James holds to the sensible conclusion
that if he had not been in tho wrong the
Judge would not have fined him.
Two Mexican editors and statesmen,
ono member Of congress and the other
secretary Of the senate fought duel the
ether day. One was killed, and the other
| pleaded his privileges and will probably
escape punishment. This is pity. II
the other fellow could have been hanged
it would have been double stroke of
luck.
Milwaukee Sentinel: If Gen. Grant is
not 4 man Of fine enough sensibiljties bim>
self to perceive how out Of character his
presen: running around in Illinois is some
friend who has keener sense Of the pre-
prleties should save hlmselfand the nation
from such humlliating exhibition. To
speak plainly, it is nothing less than vul
gar. In their gigantic etfint to carry tue
State it would seem that the ex presidents
friends will stoop to any thing. The total
lack of dignity iu the present operation
| is fslt over the country.
Two prominent provincial newspapers
underwent revolutionary experiences yess
terday. The indianapolis Journal has
passed out Of somewhat weak and huc-
tu4ting era into the hands Of an energetic
and competent business man, if not a
| tIained Journalist. John c. New, ex.trsas
urer of tho United States. 1t will con-
t;nue to be edited by the staff. The
Cleveland Herald, which has been feeling
around for an editor for some time, has
changed proprietors and borrowed an ap~
parently responsible head and an entire
staff from the Leader Office.
d. NJ. Kslleher's letter of May 1st,
to the Bismarck Sun, which was publish
| ed in that slanderous sheet May 18th, is
very fair specimen of that dsfunct poli-
tician's political strength in an intellectual
way Had Mr. Kelleher confined himself
more closely to just criticisms, truth and
responsibility, We would At least consider
bis remarks worthy Of comment. But
iusonuch as he so completely gave bin-
self to unbeeoming .landcr and vulgarity,
we can but regard his criticisms AZ being
wholly un, brthy of further consideration.
