BE Patient, Darling.

AS the ticket agent at Mandan, Da-
kota, stood ut his post one afternoon.
sampling the various styles OF breath tha,
came at hun tt,ro' the small window a
beautiful lady came up and asked for a
ticket to Bismarck. He stamped 1t and
laid it down, and the lady fumblcd in her
purse for the change. All at once she
exclaimed in a petulant voice: "Darllng,
can't you be patient? What does my pet
want" The agent turned so red that
his cheeks fairly blazed, and stammered
out: "Madam-I-I-I-I assure that
that there IS no hurry at all Take your
(ahem) time madan!" With a look
that nearly froze his blood IN his veins,
and made him feel as if iclcles were
dangling all over his bcdy, she replied:
"Sir-r-r-r! l was speaking to my little
girI,'' and pecping through the ticket
window he saw wee bit of cherub tug
glng at the lady's dress. When she had
gone he sank down in chair as pale as
a corpse and told Conductor Richards
that if his family were better provided
for he wouldn't want 10 live any longer.

AS WILL he seen by me Dispatch !'oH'
fanklon there Is n conflict Of au'h"I:'.,
between Gov Oldway and The court, OF
between the executive and judicial
branches Of the territorial government.
This is an unfortunate state OF affairs and
cannot avoid bringing humiliation upon
either the governor ''r the court. II
seems the order was issued before Judge
EIgertOn's decision Was promulgated but
WAS served nearly a week alter the dlcls-
ion was made public IN which time the
governor had ample time, If he had been
90 disposed, TO have recalled the order.
The jurisdiction of the court over the
question has not been disputed by any
one, and 1t must be obvious to any one as
VIC have contended from the first, and as
Secretory Teller urges, the decision OF the
court is the law until reversed BY higher
tribunal. Such conflict of authority as
this can result only in evil and will serve
to bring reproach upon the territory.
It places the capitol movers in the attl-
tude of overriding the law. 1t is mat
ter which will ultimately be determined
by the courts, and the better policy
would be to hold all collateral questions
In obeyance to adjudication by the courts.
This course can only initiate against
Bismarck, for resistance to the law or de-
fiance of the decision of the courts can
not be justified on any grounds.

The James River Valley Railroad.

The people OF Ordway have worked
faithfully for the past two months to Sc
cure the southern terminus Of the James
River Valley Railroad, line now being
built from jamestown TO Ordway, DIS
tance of ITO miles. Graders are now at
work from Ordway north, and also in
Dickey, LaMoure and Stuisman counties.
1t is the intention of the company to have
the whole line graded by the lst of De-
cembcr, and if possible to lay 25 OF 80
miles of iron this fall, in order to COM
plcte the road and have it in operation
for the grand rush of business which will
be ready for the new road early in the
spring. The track laying will commence
at OrGway, the Northwestern having
given The new company lower rate on
supplies than the Northern Pacific. The
completion of this important line will be
of great advantage to our young city, and
d,spei all doubts as to Ordway being the
largest and most substantial city in Cen
trail Dakota Our citizens have done no.
DIy and well, and their success IN this I'M
p"1tant enterprise will encourage them to
labor for The other enterprises which are
now within their reach. Having secured
the only uniting link between the north
ern and southern part OF the territory, a
united effort will now be made to push
the Ordway, Bismarck g. Northwestern
railroad, which is already surveyed, and
the probabilities are that at least 25 or 50
miles of this line will be graded this fall.
Or,lway has many advantages ever all
other cities in Central Dakota, and if our
citizens all pull ,oge' her for the next
twelve months we VIII have the largest
city in Central Dakota.-Ordway TrlL-

THERE are about forty thousand men
IN the Uni'et States who could furnish
newspaper credentials # capahllity Tor
the office Of the presidency, and about as
many more who think themselves capable
whom the newspapers have overlooked.
The "dark horse" programme that has of
late years been pursued serves to increase
tho number Of aspirants but correspond
lngly decreases the confidence of success
in the more prominent ones. Hayes vas
q "dark horse'' and his success led the
democrats into the business for the next
election and brought forth Gen. Hancock
from his military seclusion. Those WHO
can forctell the verdict Of jury might
venture to guess who the candidate will
be next year but no others should jeop-
ardlze their reputation on such uncertain
ties.

yesterday, nominated Ben Butler for gov

This places the re- election of Butler al

side track for the nomination of the
democratic national convention for the

OF being fool. There may be greater
calamitcs befall the country than for old
Ben Butler to be president.
