Stale Candies.

you have no idea how much we
lose by candies becoming staie," re-
marked well-known confectioner to a
Boston Globe reporter yesterday. 1.-The
finer varieties, such as chocolate
creams, choice French mixed and fresh
fruit candies are quite worthless. The
common candies we melt up and make
over again, but the operation, OF
course, entails considerable trouble
and expense"
why don't you sell stale candies at
reduced prices?"
'My dear sir, that would never do.
/ presume some confectioners doit, but
it is very bad policy. Candies, you
see, stand on their own merits, and
there is no class of consumers more
critical than the people who buy the
choice varieties. The class includes
many gentlemen, it is true, but it is
largely composed of the young of the
fair sex, and YOU can't fool the little
dears with stale candy. Not nsuch!
They can tell, at the first taste, wheth-
er candy is as it should be or not, and
the sale of single box of poor candy
might do me a great deal of harm"
GLOW is that, if the candy is sold as
stale?"
''Why, don't you seep An immense
amount of candy is bought by young
men for their sweethearts. The best
candies costs, say, 81 per pound,
while the stale ones, closely resembling
them in appearance, are marked, we II
suppose, at 40 cents. A young man is
little short, perhaps, and buys some
+ the stale, thinking his girl won't
now the difference. She does.
though, you bet, every time. She Il
eat a piece and say: How awfully
awful! Where did these come fromp'
He, of course. tells her. but omits to
mention that he bought them as stale!
Or, if she is one of the quiet kind, and
knows where the candy came from,
she will quietly suggest to him her
preference for some other maker
candy. You see what great injury
might be done to mans business in
that way-a far greater injury than the
loss of few pounds of candy day.
In no branch of business is reputa-
ion more to be desired than in mine. "
"How long will candies keep fresh?"
''That depends upon the candies and
the temperature and the character OF
the place in which they are kept. Some
kinds will not keep fresh twenty -four
hours, and others are perfectly good
for week or even longer.

Representative Carleton, of Michigan,
member of the house committee on terri
tories, says that the committee is dispos-
ed to favorably consider the bill dividing
the territory OF Dakota. Although Mr..
Carleton is democrat, he says that he
believes the bill will be favorably reported
to the house, and he evens claims to have
confidence that it will pass at this session.
A Washington special says that the posi-
ton of Mr.. Carleton is in direct opposition
to the policy Of the great number of dem
ocrats. Those who favor the admission
Of Southern Dakota as state are not at

For the first time in the history Of the
United States territorial inhabitant has
been given a federal position. C. Fl.
Crosby, of Montana, was appointed assist
ant postmaster general, but there is oppo
.sition to his confirmation in the senate.
Regarding the possible rejection, the Min
neapolis Tribune says:
If Crosby is rejected, Montana ought te
secede, and Dakota should rise in arms
and expel her foreign oppressors. Colon.
el P. Donan should head home-rult
movement, and drive that odious tyrant
Colonel Pierce back to his native Chicago

Political and Legislative.

Political and Legislative.
The Mitchell Republican, in seconding
the nomination by The ADVOCATE Of
Mark Ward as speaker of the
house, says: The Republican takes pleas
ure in seconding the nomination of Mark
Ward, knowing him to be we'll yersed in
parlam entary tactics and gentleman ol
high standing. When Mr.. Ward is best
known he is most admired and should he
be elected to preside over the heuse every
element in that body would have full rec
ognltlOn.
The experience that Mr.. A. G. Huet-
son, councilman from this county, has had
while treasurer of Lincoln county and also
in the banking business in Illinois, will
tend to make his selection as member OF
the finance committee OF the incoming leg
islature almost certainty. Every man
to his business will be the motto, and Mr..
Huetson would ably grace 4 position on
the finance committee.
Kimball Index: Hon. Mark Ward is
suggested as the proper person upon whom
the honor of the speakership Of the next
House should be conferred. Probably no
more suitable person could be found. Mr..
Ward is a gentleman Of decislon and one
whom it is hard to swerve when his mind
is once made up. but who takes time to
reach decision, and is generally right.
1t is Just such man whom we should
have for speaker.
The talk of the Beresford News regard
ing the cutting off of portions of Union
and Lincoln counties and the formation of
a new county, is useless. The counties are
all right as they are now laid out, and any
attempt to slice off portion of this coun-
ty would be sat down upon by the people
as whole.
Vermillion Plain Talk: Mark Ward of
Brule county is candidate for speaker of
the house of representatives. He is a
good man for the place and will probably
receive the support of the solid south.
1t Is position that is very important tor
the south to control and one that we must
have, and Mr.. Ward is probably as good a
man for the place as any among those who
were elected the last time
There will be but five democrats in the
next Dakota legislature. In the eleventh
and twelfth districts there will be Contests.
In the twelfth districts the certificate was
issued by the clerk to La Moure, under
protest
Yankton Press: Brule county puts for
ward candidate for the speakership of
the house in the person of Mark Ward,
who was elected to the legislature on the
republican ticket. Mr.. Ward is said to be
well qualified for the place and he halls
| from good locality.
Scotland Citizen: Jerauld county gave
Wagner 695 votes, and Ziebach l3. The
name of the county justiGes the vote.
Wagner was one of the famous capitol
jobbers in the last council, hence the Jer-
auld comparison.
The Deadwood Pioneer presents the
name of Eben w. Martin as its candidate
for speaker of the lower house, containing
a very complimentary notice of Mr. Mar
tin.
A. NJ. Bowdle of Mitchell and j. R.
Gamble are mentioned as possible candi-
dates for the presidency of the council.
The exemption laws will receive some
notice at the incoming legislative session.

The Bismarck Journal will make spec
ial feature of the legislature reports du-
ring the session Of the legislature, and will
give clear idea of the legislation pend
ing or accomplished, noting carefully the
prospects and progress of all important
measures. The Weekly Journal will be
sent to any address from date Of subscrip-
ton till the close Of the legislature for so
cents. The Daily Journal during the ses-
sion will cost $2.

In bis message the president favors
a repeal of the pre- emption laws as now
existing. This is matter of no little i'm
portance to the people of Dakota, but at
present the opinions as to the advisability
of the repeal are somewhat conflicting.
1t would undoubtedly be a benifcary
movement for the Northern Pacific coun-
try, but would tend to retard immigration
into the southern half. 1t would give the
railroad companies chance to dispose Of
their surperfuous lands, but would be Ii
able TO check development as whole.
Revision of the law would be better.
