interests here The general will not of
course reside here, as his position and prom
inence in West Virginia is such that he could
not give them up, but his sons will embark
largely in the cattle business. They have
secured far the best ranch in this country in
point of comfort and elegance. 1t is expect
ed that Mrs. Duval and daughters will pay a
visit to this country during the summer.
The Pierre Recorder learns that the mutila-
ted coin in the east is being sent to Dakota
on speculation. 1t says IAN incident oc-

this kind of money has become speculation.
customer purchased a quantity OF goods,
and in payment rendered the merchant some
eightor nine silver dollars, all of them being
punched. The merchant objected to this,
saying that while he would not object to TAX
ing one or two dollars of this kind, he would
not accept handful of them. Further talk
revealed the fact that the customer had pur-
chased quantity of this coin in the east, at
o liberal discount from face value, especially
for circulation in this territory. A refusal to
business men would soon stop the circula-
ton of it in these parts.
Most of the papers are inclined to accept
the claim that Delegate Raymond is entitled
to all the credit for all the attention Dakota
interests have received. The Redfield Jour
nal is one of those that dissent from this
view. 1t says:
The Grand Forks Plaindealer, and evening
daily and the oldest in that section, refuses
to support Blaine and Logan. 1t anticipates
their defeat, and is evidently getting ready
ready to come out as a Democratic sheet in
that case.
Some of the territorial papers are lauding
Delegate Raymond for the work he has ac-
complished in this session of congress. We
can hardly see how he could have done much
less than he has. Dakota has been neglected
by our Washington fathers so long that the
most intelligent of them plainly see without
anybody's clubbing it into their heads thai
some legislation must be done for her
Most of the measures passed this session
are ones that were introduced by ex-Delegate
Pettigrew, talked of by him and his friends
while there. True, Raymond has done some
thing, doubtless the best he has been able to

undoubtedly the case, but, in the light Of

of his predecessors. Barney Caulheld, 8
staunch old Democrat and ex-member OF
congress from an Illinois district but now a
resident of the Black Hills, has been in
Washington all winter, and is still there,
laboring for the interests of Dakota. DakGt
has many warm friends among the senators
and representatives.
1t is learned that the president was very
favorably inclined TO the appointm entof Col.
Donan as governor of Dakota, but Col. Ray
mond was uncompromising in opposition.
For some reason these two colonels are not
harmonious. Neither of them would volun-
tarily ever treat the other to lemonade or
peanuts. 1t is said that prom inent iniuen-
ces in both sections of the territory have So
licted Col. D. to come out as an Independent
candidate in opposition to Col R. if the lat
ter has the regular nomination. If Col D.
should accept and canvas the territory his
friends claim that he would make the atmos
phcre torrid and get there Eli.
