startlingly grctesque that the country

Mr.. Pettigrew advances as his chief
objection the statement that Mr.. Ray

the interests of the south. It is suscep-
tible of easy proof that during his career
as congressman be has arrayed against
him the bitterest enemies Of the south
and this has resulted only from an honest
and successful effort to conscientiously
serve both sections of Dakota. He had
his opportunity to join fortunes and

Ex-Delegate Pettigrew occupies two
columns in the Sioux Falls Press in ex-
planatlon of his opposition to the re.
election of Delegate Raymond to con-
gress. As MIR. Raymond succeeded Mr..
Pettigrew in congress, after bitter
struggle in the territorial nominating
convention, it may be suspected that
Mr. Pettigrew is actuated by something
more than desire to serve the public in
advancing his pointed criticisms upon
the course of his successor. Among
men ambitious for public recognition
there is growing sentiment that Mr..
Raymond is becoming too popular with
the masses and with these men natural
selfish policy suggests that his career of
usefulness should be cut short before he
acquires strength dangerous to their
expectations. 1t Is possible that Mr.. Pet
tigrew may share in such feeling and
that it prompts his action at this par
ticular time. He announces that he is
not himself candidate for con-
gress and we believe him to be
sincere in the declaration, so far as it ap.
plies to the present. But Mr.. Pettigrew
has habit of looking into the future
and laying his plans for the by and by.
Dakota will come to the front as state
some day and the shrewd manipulator of
the Sioux valley doubtless desires to oc-
cupy controlling position when that
event arrives. This is laudable ambi.
ton and no one will find fault with Mr..
Pettigrew for indulging in it. But it
would be more in harmony with general
public sentiment for him to
reach that place by the pure
force of his own merits and ability than
through an effort to pull down another
citizen of the territory who, in an official
position, has served the public faithfully
and we'll.
Mr.. Pettigrew's complaints against MIR.
Raymond embrace general and specific
charges of incompetency as congress-
man. 1t requires boldness in political
operator to advance propositions of this
nature in the face of the record attained
by the subject Of his criticisms. During
the congressional session just closed
there were ten thousand bills introduced
and only one hundred and thirteen of
these bills became laws. It was ses.
sion not organized for work, but for the
advancement of political interests on
both sides. In the face of these condi-
tions Mr.. Raymond accomplished very
much more than his proportion of re-.
suits and more in Importance than any
other territorial delegate has accom-.
plished in the same time. The charge
of inefiiciency is therefore merely q
charge without the evidence. and in the
face Of Q general verdict to the
contrary from jury Of his constituents.
The public measures man in an official
position aud measures him correctly,
aud while extraordinary statements. like
those put forward by Mr.. Pettigrew, may

items for your journal from this local ity.
Instead Of the dust which we have breathed
and brushed from our clothing and shoes for
a number of months, we now have mud,
vapor and rain and it is joy to the farmers,
for there are good prospects that now the
wheat will come up and grow 80 as to
stand the winter. Some Of the farmers in
this section were very much afraid that it
would be rotted in the ground, as there was
not enough moisture to cause it to grow,
though it was feared that the grains would
put forth the sprout and then die. Much Of
it, however, has come out and seems 10 be
doing well.
The hog cholera seems to be about played
Out-so are the hogs. Very few pOrkers
survive to shed their blood for the sake of
the larder this fall in this section.
Autumn is decorating hill and vale in
most gorgeous scenes. The forests are decked
in robes of different hues and with the mel
low sunny days make the country scenery
picturesque and beautiful to behold.
We have just passed season marked by
the presence of much malaria; the effect OF
hot sultry days and cool nights. A num-
Der of cases Of typhoid and malarial fever
still exist in our midst
This past summer quite number OF new
buildings have been erected. Mr.. John w.
