Dakota.
milwaukee Sentinel.)

Dakota is destined to become one of
the great States of the Union. The eli
mate is not nearly as severe in winter as
commonly believed. Throughout Dakota
the thermometer has averaged at least
five degrees higher than in Wisconsin,
and the air is so dry that the cold is not
felt so much. There is comparatively
little snow beyond the line. During the
rest of the year Dakota is an Eden. 1t
is surprising there has been so little
speculation in public lands in this terri
tory. The explanation is that actual Set
tiers are 80 eager for land that SPECTATORS
have little chance at it. II is hard to
find a section with in adozen miles from
a railroad that has not from twenty to
hundred acres broken and much of it
seeded. The sanguine settler, and every
settler is sanguine, fears none of the usual
disasters-he believes that Dakota will
always be free from grasshoppers as the
Indians tell him that the grasshopper.
never invaded Dakota. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that the territory will get
through the general western experience,
that it will have it's boom and its reaction,
its back-scts and its failures, but Dakota
land will always be as productive as any
land the sun shines upon.

The Washee Fights.
(Afinneapolia Trjh,,ueN


Washee-Washee has always been
looked upon as man of peace, and the
question, Will a Chinaman fight? las
invariably been answered in the nega-
tive in America. 1t has, however, been
demonstrated that there is point
beyond which even Chinaman's love
cannot carry him. AT Kansas City the
other day three men went to a Chinese
laundry and demanded their renovated
linen. They had lost their checks, and
Washee made the customary remark,
" No checkee, no shirtee:" This is the
scene which ensued: The men seized
ALI Sin, moped the floor with him, shot
him in three places, walked upon him,
kicked him in the ribs, and pulled his
queue out by the roots. The last indig-
nifty aroused the sleeping wrath in the
celestial breast, and Ali Sin selzed
revolver and began to fill the air so full
of bullets that the men in search of
linen concluded there was no room in
that atmosphere for them. The China
man holds the fort and the shirts and is
in cultivation of "a new pig-tail.

Canadians in Dakota.
Toronto (Ont.) Telegram.

\ShtJ
: There are a great many. more Cana
dians in Dakota than there should be.
No doubt the reason for this is that they
believe Dakota the best place for them.
Why is it SO? The land laws are better
administered in Dakota than in the
Northwest the winters in the southern
portion are much less severe; lumber,
farm implements, building material and
settlers supplies generally are much
cheaperj railroads are more generally
available and freights more reasonable,
and the actual settler iS less hampered in
acquiring land, speculative sharks not
having been afforded the same opportu-
nifty for intervening between him and
the government. Of course it is rank
treason to say this, but there appears to
be no doubt as to the fact. Nothing is to
be gained Ivy concealing the facts, and
much is in danger of being lost by putting
the North West beyond it's deserts.

The Mormons.

Our legislation with regard to Mormon
ism, as with regard to many other evils,
is very spasmodlc in character. Last
year the whole people were up in arms
against Mormonism, and fercely demand
sd that the Edmunds commission should
put an end to polygamy. This year they
have forgotten all about it.. The Nor
mons, however, are not forgetful. They
go on recruiting their victims, shipping
chem over from Europe, and enlarging
their borders without hindrance from
any quarter. Unjust be stopped some
time. If not stopped now it will be
harder to stop in future.

AN election was recently held in Utah
under the restrictions of the Edmunds'
law. By the provisions of that law po-
lygamists of bothl sexes, are prohibited
from voting or holding Office. 1t was
thought by this provision the ''Gentiles''
would carry the day and that the Mormons
would be overwhelmingly defeated. But
alas, for the shrewdness of the Vermont
barrister. The willy Mormons have beat
en- him and carried the election. The
Mormons nominated full tickets, and by
skiIIful subterfuges, within the letter of the
Edmunds' law, the territory still remains
politically in the hands of the Mormons.

JULIAN HAwTHoRNE's appearance before
the School of Philosophy at Concord seems
eminently appropriate from the associa-
tion which the names Concord and Haw-
thorne have with each other. The elder
Hawthorne moved to Concord immediate
Iy on his marriage in 1912, when he occu-
pied the "Old Manse" for three or four
years. Later or he lived there at two diff
ferent periods, residing both times in ''The
WaYside." AS a boy, therefore, Julian
Hawthorne knew Concord well, though he
was born in Boston Tin 1S46) and spent his
early CHILDHOOD in Lenox. His school edu-
cation was mainly at Concord, where in
1860-62 he was pupil of Mr.. Sanborn's
at what was then known as the Concord
School," and he entered Harvard from
Concord in 1868. 1t was, however, no
reason for appropriateness or coincidence
that Julian was invited to lecture before
Concord School of Philosophy, but because
he had written an able an philosophical
essay on "Novels," which philosophers
wished to hear. This was the second time
only that Mr.. Hawthorne has lectured; but
his success was such that he may now be
considered as a new and available lecturer.
His manner is very modest, without the
painful shyness which his father had, and
in appearance he now much resembles the
elder Hawthorne, though hardly so large
or so handsome.
