A prominent democrat now in Wash.
inRton has looked over the situation there
and has became convinced that the divi.
sion OF Dakota can be accomplished.
with the proper effort. He is OF the
opinion that such effort should be made
without delay, rs he considers the oppor.
tunity now ripe for action. The division
sentiment of Dakota, he holds, should be
represented at the capital more extern
sively than 1t is. The northern delega.
ton there is working against
division and the Black Hills and
Missouri river delegations are giving
more time to the opening of the Sioux
reservation than to anything eIae. SO it
seems that the object in which We are all
interested is not receiving the attention
it should receive. Delegate Raymond's
bill for the division of Dakota was intro.
duced early in the session and it appears
that all it needs is energetic backing.
The Yankton delegation will leave this
week for Washington. Other southern
towns should be represented. If admis.
sion fails we must have division and we
should have it before the convening of
another legislature.

The writer has never been called upon
to record q criminal career which touched
him 80 deeply as does that of ALI Flagg
An acquaintance Of six years has made
him many times envy the brilliant
natural talents, the breadth and depth
OF mental culture, the literary
attaintnents-ali of which are now but
the saddest apparation OF what
might have been. But through it all
there is feeling almost of thankful
ness that the end has come. Outside of
the fact that criminals OF any degree.
high or low, wise or otherwise, should be
punished. it is believed that the fate
which has overtaken Aft may do for him
that which repeated solemn promises to
his friends. respect for himself, and love
for his wife could not do-tear him from
the thralls Of vicious habit that enslaved
him. II be shall come out of prison
with his moral nature cleansed from the
poison which has infected it, his arrest
and incarceration will be blessing
for which he might be glad to have nm.
dergone q sacrifice.

An article in this issue, from the Sioux
Falls Press, chronicles the arrest Of al.
fred M. Flagg, of Sioux Falls. and bis
incarceration in Jail, the immediate
charge against him being the embezzle.
ment Of fifteen hundred dollars entrust.
ed to him by an eastern firm. The &C.
count says there are many other charges
OF similar nature against him, the az.
Rregate of his unlawful transactions be.
ing about twelve thousand dollars. The
crimes for which he stands charged are
the result of his inordinate passion for
gambling. 1t is not many years ago
that A. M. Flseg enjoyed prospects as
brilliant as those OF any young man in
Dakota. He was lawyer of eminence
for one 90 young and was rapidly making
bis way toward a leading position in his
profession. The republican convention
OF 1877 nominated him as district attor.
ney for the second Judicial district, to
which Office he was elected by large
majority. Shortly afterwards, when the
fourth judicial district was carved from
the second, Mr.. Flagg, by unanimous
consent, was made attorney for the fourth
district. which included his home in its
boundaries. So we'll did ho perform his
duties in this capacity that he
would have been renominated but for a
positive refusal on his part to accept; this
refusal being based upon the success of
bis townsman, r. F. Pettlgrew, in the
congressional convention of 1879, Mr..
Flagg arguing that one town should not
claim all the honors. He took an active
part in the campaign which resulted in
the election OF Mr.. Pettigrew and his
eloquence on the stump contributed
largely to the success of that gentleman.
After this election Mr.. Flagg was can.
didate for an important federal position,
but failed to secure the appoint.
mept. Had he gone on from
this good beginning iu the
way which honest ambition would natur.
ally dictate, he would not now be crushed
beneath the wreck of life once so full
OF brilliant possibilities. The gaming
table was his fascination and from it
ever increasing demands he could not alb
solve himself. First his own means wer,
squandered and then he had recourse t,
the funds entrusted to his care by thos,
for whom he operated ss collector and
loaner Of money. Misfortune came il
the place of fortune and one Temptation
yielded to was followed by others
and the end is RUN and dis
grace-a felon's cell, heart
broken wife and blasted future
We have no words of censure aga,ns
Mr.. Flsgg, but rather words OF sorrow
We had looked upon him as one OF tn,
solid young men of new Dakota VIII,
would help fashion the commonwealtl
and grow old in excellent service to th
state and to himself. It may be his down
fall will bring the true repentance whicl
will yet induce him to assert his position
as man amcng men. II this sboul;
come about the lesson will not have beef
lost upon him. There are others wh,
have needed the warning of his downfall
Will they profit by it?

The experienced observer will detect
the genius of Alex Mckenzie in the
scheme which took minister of the
gospel before the president with words
of praise for Ordway in his mouth. A
ministerial hacker is an ally which Ale1
has not before seen the need of, but the
public may rest assured that whenever
he feels necessity for the use of man
of God. one will be forthcoming. The
Rev. Mr.. Thompson told the president
that he had been over the territory organ.
iz,ng churches aad had. found the gov.
ernor universally sustained by the best
class OF settlers. In his statement be
aims to mislead. probably not with pro.
fame malice aforethought. but with q
christian desire to serve the cause of his
associates. 1t Mr.. Thompson had been
over the territory organizing churches
he would doubtless have been heard
from in that capacity. Yet the univer
sal enquiry now is, among the unreRener
ate and the regenerate, "who is Rev. Mr..
Thompson?" Many are disposed to re-
gard him as mythical creation, sancti
fled to the uses Of the syndicate. But he
10 not. He is real flesh and blood and
while he breaches and prays he watches
for the main chance, the accumulation
Of . mighty dollar or two. He "caugh,

in the right place and unloaded wher
the boom WAS at its height, thereby reap
ing the reward Of good and faithful

this by the grace Of God, but more likely
BY the grace Of Mckenzie. It is mo-
then at oil strange, il his heart is half q
foil Of thankfulness % his bag is O

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-It appears that
although John p. St. John is not an
important element in the exciting cam
paign which Ia now drawing to q close,
even he cannot escape the tongue OF
scandal. There is on record In the

q decree OF divorce granted Mary st.
John against John P. st. John upon
the ground that ON or about the 28th
OF June, 1852, he did wilfully desert his
SAID wife mp TO the present time-June,
1856, and the Court at the same time
gave the. wife the exclusive care and
control OF Henry st. John, then a boy
OF years Of age. Additional afiidayits
are furnished by j. H. Brewer and his
wife, who were then living in Calhoun.
Richland County, Ill.
st. John married Mary Jane Brewer.
the step.daughter of j. II. Brewer, and,
AFTER living with her about three months
deserted her and her unborn child.
During the time he lived with her he
never provided . penny toward the sup.
port or clothing Of his wife, and she
would have suffered for the necessar.es
Of life but for the assistance of her
step-father. When his son was about
IL years Of age he met with q severe
accident, and Mr.. st. John was asked
to contribute to his relief and necessary
medical attendance. This he refused
70 do, and a sui was entered for the
DOCTORS bill, which remains unpaid to
this day.
Mrs. Brewer testified under oath also
that she knew intimately Mary Jane
