WASHINGTON, March 22.- There is be-
ginning to be some activity among the
candidates for the Dakota Governorship
The fling with the President of governor
Ordways answer to the affidasits placed on
file some time ago against hin has inspired
his rivals to g1eater opposition.
Nj. Lounsberry is very active, and daily
increases the number of his indorsers. He
received a very strong letter to-day from
Senator Conger, of Michigan, indorsed by
every member Of the Michigan delegation
He also has the Endorsement of Mr.. Strait.
of Minnesota, and is promised tint of
Senator Sabin ON his return to Washing
ton. This viii make his Endorsement by
the Minnesota delegation unanimous.
MIR. Deering, Of Iowa, is awaiting the
outcome of the Judgeship of the Eighth
judicial District. II MIR. McCoid is ap-
pointed to that place. Mr.. Deering will be
virtually out of the race.
Mr.. Tyner's friends continue TO be very
sanguine, and are quietly but actively
working mp his case. No doubt there are
mauy others who are trying to be Cover
nor of Dakota, but they are still in the bud

There has been considerable apathy in
,regard to the opening of the reservation
'since the committee reported favoring
homestead entry only, and townsites locat-
ed about as the government should suggest
While nearly all admit that the home
stead is what We want and what makes the
country, it is an actual fact that the
Pinterest has fallen off one half since the
report Of the committee. Judging from
this instance il would appear that if the
speculative opportunities were to be en-
tirely removed, the boom Of the great
wonderland would suddenly collapse, and
Dakota would assume the gradual and
raturai progress similar to any other new

This necessary adjunct to spring is not
gentle refined creature. He is essen
tally the animal with horse laugh. He
is the butt of ridicule, the text Of sermons,
and the nursling of philanthrophy. His
deepest crime is his ambiguity, his
greatest virtue his obscurity, his greatest
mistake his modesty. His greatest luxury
is bed of hay; his greatest need. cold
grub: his greatest dissipation 5 cent beer.
He is the philosopher of the real, the
scareerow of civilization, the apostle of
oblivion. He sweeps all ties of love,
kindred, home, ont of his life with more
ease than he brushes straw out of his
matted locks. The past has for him no
