THE EXPOSITION.
Something About the Dakota Exhibit
at the New Orleans EXpOsitiOn-The
AppOrtiOnment Of Assistants.

at the New Orleans Exposition-The
ApportiOnment Of Assistants. ...
Hon. Alex. Mckenzie of Bismarck was
in the city last week, working up an in
terest in the Dakota exhibit at the New
Orleans exposition. As the matter be-
comes more thoroughly explained the ad-
visibility of each county taking hold of
the matter becomes more evident. The
idea is to make collection OF cereals,
grasses, vegetables, fruits, timber, dairy
products all materials deemed necessary as
thorough exhibit Of Dakota products at
the Worlds exposition at New Orleans
the coming winter, each county to loan its
credit for a certain sum. Gov. Pierce
sanctions the matter and will appoint au-
ditors to tako charge of the disburse-
ments.
Mr.. Mckenzie has appointed as COM
missioner for South Dakota Mr. NJ.
Grigsby of Sioux Falls, who will hereafter
attend to matters in his district. During
his stay here Mr.. Mckenzie appointed
Mr.. f. A. Gale special commissioner for
the First legislative district. Mr.. Gales
acquaintance throughout South Dakota,
combined with the influence as mayor,
and president of the First National Bank
of this city, will give the matter decided
boom in this section Of country, where
more successful selection could not have
been made. The work on the part of
Mayor Gale is entirely gratuitous, and he
should meet with hearty cooperation in
the matter of giving Lincoln county and
this legislative district proper exhibit at
the great exposition.

Points About Politics.

Fielder Times: Personal intelligence
Indicates that Judge 0. S. Clifford of
Canton, Lincoln county may be a possible
candidate before the Pierre territorial
convention for delegate in congress.
Judge Clifford is very worthy citizen,
an able jurist but poor politician. If
he could come up as a non-partisan The
Fielder Times would give all Its old boots
and hat thrown in to have him sent to
congress as representative of Dakota
people.
In regard to the Clay county conven-
ton, Vermillion dispatch says: Seven
good sound South Dakota men were elect
ed to attend the Piorre convention. The
delegation was instructed to use all honor
able means to secure the nomination of a
southern man at Pierre. 1t is pretty GER
tain they will 60 for Judge Clifford, of
Canton.
There are 1856 votes in the north, and
$50 in the south. Out of this $50, take
the strength of the Black Hills, leaving a
balance of 22O. Out of the balance take,
say 20 southern disaffected southern votes
and it still leaves South Dakota a majority
over the whole. Why not a South Dako-
ia man?
Fairbank Tribune An acquaintance of
twelve years with the Judge leads us to
believe that there are but few better men
in the territory for the position. A good
citizen, an able lawyer, and a man who
never sought political distinction. With
O. S. Clifford in congress, the interest of
Dakota would be in good hands.

A Milkmaid in TOp Boots.

A wealthy farmer in Rutherford
County not long since was applied to
by a good-looking lad for work, the
boy saying that he preferred to drive a
harvester or wagon or do other light
work about the farm. The applicant
looked so delicate that the farmer re-
fused the request, but gave the lad tho
name of a farmer in the adjoining
county who wanted boy to milk COWS.
The situation was sought and the lad
taken on trial. The two farmers met
few days since in Nashville, and got
to talking about the lad. Said She en-
ployer of the boy: 'He is tho best
mixer I ever saw, and oan get more
milk from the COWS than any one lever
had before him, He attends strictly to
business, and suits me first-rate, but
I'm afraid he is going to create sem
sation YETI
Being pressed by his friend. tho farm.
or was compelled to admit that his
wife had discovered, through the mer-
est accident, that the supposed boy he
had employed to milk the COWS was q
woman. when I found it out I told
my wife the girl would have to go, as
it would never do to have our neigh
bors know we had woman parading
around the farm in top-boots. My wife
told me she didn't think anybody else
would ever find it out, and it was worth
while taking the chances on it, as the
lad suited us so well. liked George.
and took my wife's advice, and think
she will be able to stay with us and
wear mems clothes as long as she
wants to.''
.'She lived up in Indiana and had
heard about Middle Tennessee, where
you could throw your hat on the ripen-
ing wheat and it would bear it up, it
was so thick and strong, so she deter
mined to come down here and get work
on farm, where she could work in TIE
open air nearly all the year round. It
was then that she determined to carry
out long-cherished plan, that of as
suming the garb Of man, which added
SO much to her independence in seek
ing situation. And you ought to see

and wears kip boots two sizes too long
for her. She has round face and .
roguish twinkle in her large black eyes,
and her coarse shirt is always kept
buttoned close around her well-shaped
neck.

brimmed, coarse straw hat on the back

The die has been shaken, the rallie

The die has been shaken, the rallied
hosts formed into line, and the leaders
are now ready for the preliminary skir-
mish. The delegate question has absorb
ed the minds Of the people to an earnest,
spirited and unprejudced condition tower
ing unparalleled in the short but hard
fought history of territorial politics. and
from the Pierre convention will doubtless
eminate an epoch productive of undoubt-
ed qualification to the true-hearted loyal
lists Of this vast commonwealth Through
out the campaign began two months ago
there has outcropped nothing but the
most unadulterated feeling of friendship
among the contending champions, and
this feeling has become inoculated to such
an extent among the followers that there
rests to-day sentiment of entire and alb
solute confidence in this vast convention
of the cream Of Dakota representation.
Ills true there exists passionate individu-
al antagonism between the several factions
throughout the territory, resulting this
season in the formation of double headed
delegations, but that this emotional agita-
tion will not be admissible in the conven-
ton is generally admitted. Like all new
territories occasional factional eruptions
have escaped from the confines Of home
limitation and extended over what should
constitute interdicted termination, but in
a mammoth convocation of diversified ele-
ments composed of the gilt-edged emf
nence such as the coming convention, the
family fight will be disbarred and true,
honest convictions predominate where ad-
verse conditions would rule otherwise.
Those entering the Pierre convention en-
robed with fact;onal issues or forcing a
turbulent spirit merely for selfish grati6-
cation will find themselves buried in the
ashes of defeat and dust of obscurity, too
far mired in the seductive quick sand of
unpopularity to acquire successful ex-
trication. The energy of the loyalists is
too deep-rooted and lasting to allow the
nomination of one not endowed with the
emineut qualifications of advanced
craftsmanship, and when THE ADVOCATE
imposes this implicit confidence in the fin
al adjustifcation of matters concerned in
the political enigma it does SO with full
conviction that no inconsiderate, repent
atleisure act will characterize the result.
The signal has waved over every county
in our broad territory with the exalted de-
mand for Dakota representation emblazon-
ed in every particular detail of demanded
recognition, and the non -extinguishable
character Of the tokens of success develops
into thricely y-luminous formation as the
apex Of specific exaltation magnetizes the
hours toward the elimination. Nothing
can crush or wipe out the famed and per-
spicuously resplendent flame of demanded
South Dakota recognition, and the lucid
star Of success seems now but waiting for
chance to expand its resplendent cfulg-
ency when the eclipse of all minor semo-
raphieal combinations and junto cliques
will characterize the lustrous wind-up Of
the actions OF this mighty body Of Dako-
ta's chiefs and subordinates. "South
Dakota" seems to-day a name SYNONYMOUS

The death of Secretary Folger is received
with general feeling Of profound sorrow
throughout the country, the fact that his
unexpected demise was caused by over work
being a strong factor in the feeling of wide
spread regret. He sought to supervise
all the details of the service, instead of
leaving the routine work to the subordi-
nantes, and death claimed him as victim.
The overpowering defeat of the late sec
retary as candidate for governor of New
York also looms up prominently in the
breakdown of his constitution, and thus
the great financier dropped away, probab-
ly with but little regret. Secretary Win
dom is mentioned as successor

An eastern editor writes in fowery
language the following: Somnolent lies
the pickle in its briny bath, and in dreamy
idleness the wad of chewing gum lies on
the window-sill. Athwart the glinting
sunbeams in their lonely search the shiver-
ed corset-steel intrudes its sinuous length,
while in far off the delly dells of the bos-
ky woodland cops the curl paper futtcring
in sad-eyed idleness, tor the bangs it never
more will clasp. A broken garterhere, an
undarned stocking there, a few bent and
scattered hairpins-they are little things
but oh! how mutely yet how patlletically
they tell the heart that the sweet girl
graduate has fed to Dakota and is now en-
gagged in catching beaux and freckles.
