Judge Clifford and Maj. Wilson, the re-
publican and democratic candidates re-
spectively, for congressman, met at Yer
million last Saturday afternoon, Wilson
tarrying a few hours, then going on to
Yankton. He said he intended visiting
prominent points in the territory, making
speeches and telling the people he wants
their votes. In the evening, fifty of Gif-
ford IS old friends met at the Chandler
House and sat down to a supper in his
honor. 1t was not political gathering,
but that of old Dakotaians. The good
time lasted till very late, and it was a
pleasant reunion. Last Monday Judge
Clifford went to Watertown to see Chair
man Mellette and organize the canvass,
which will be very thorough, and include
all the large towns in the territory The
Vermilion correspondent says that Col.
Jolley of that place has consented to
stump the territory, and there is to be a
general waking up of the people on politi-
cal affairs, Clifford himself leading.

tory, but rather condition Of general

The leaders have shaken hands across the
now closed width, and let the actual sup
porters of the former factions complete
the harbinger of peace by endorsing faith
fully and to a unit the actions of these
leaders in their efforts to unite the peo-
pie of Dakota on this question over
throw of administration domination so far
as concerns territorial rule, and the divis-
ion of what now constitutes diversified.
ponderous and unwieldy body.
Another important object to be gained
in this preponderous support of the re-
publican nominee, is the opening of the
Sioux and NVinnebago reservations, two
immense bodies of land that now await
simply the action of congress, when a
teeming sea of life and rroductiveness will
take the place OF blank wilderness
and unproductive acres. The voters Of
the Missouri river, the Black Hills, and
of entire Dakota for that matter, are in
favor Of the opening of these reservations,
and when Judge Clifford promises to do
| all in his power to further this feature he
certainly should receive decided indorse-
ment before flying down to Washington
to secure, or attempt to secure, this factor
in the development of North and South
Dakota.
The larger the majority, the more influ-
ence the delegate will develop, vote for
Clifford meaning division and admission
and the opening Of the big reserva-
vions, besides decided republicanism in
this camp of diversified interests and va
rious productions known as Dakota, with
big "S'' and big ''N'' when that
| happv result is brought about.

The Duluth Tribune thinks Mr.. Hill
on the part of the Manitoba road has
made master stroke. It says:
"Happily the farmers grievances
are at an end so far as the Manitoba
road is related to them, if all that was
promised by President Hill at st.
Paul is carried out to the letter. The
concession there made by President
Hill will go fay toward adjusting all
difficulties between wheat-growers
and railroads and elevators, for by that
concession the Northern Pacific road
and the Pillsbury & Hurlburt system
of elevators will be compelled to place
themselves right before the people of
Minnesota and Dakota by making
the same concession. Shorn thus of
its allies the Minneapolis Millers' asso-
citation will be driven to 3 corener

falling in line, however reluctantly,
and bearing toward farmers such.
treatment as will be considered by
them fair and honorable. The Mani
toba road has taken long step in the
right direction, thanks to the sagacity
of Mr.. Hill. The Northern Racific
hardly afford to refuse to do the same
thing. Messrs. Pillsbury & Hurlburt
are powerless to do anything else but
fall in line, because they will be con-
fronted at every station by other
elevators unless they do, and this
/ competition fanked by the full SYM
pathy and the patronage of tee faIm-
ers will destroy their elevator business,
along one line of road at least.
BY the concessions farmers can now
take advantage of elevators whose
minimum capacity is five thousand
bushels, while they asked but for ele-
vators whose minimum capacity
should be fifteen thousand bushels.
Then they are guaranteed through
shipment of wheat without having

Mr., Hill soes farther ana guarantees

This bold position solves the whole
question of wheat transportation, and
virtually wheat rates and grading,
the latter coming in with the new

the very front position in this matter

A Washington special speaks of
Kentucky's newly elected senator as
follows:
Senator-elect Blackburn is un-
doubtedly the happiest man in WASH
ington, and although he is a bitter
and incorporating partisan, few
politicians have more friends. His
ability is recognized, and that he is
good fellow everybody is willing to
acknowledge. He is fierce in debate,
but in companionship is very cordial
and agreeable. When he first came
here, eight years ago it was the de-
light of the Republicans to stir him,
up, for his speeches made excellent
Republican campaign documents; but
an acquaintance with Northern men
and a knowledge of Northern candi-
dates has moderated his heated Sec
tionalism, and he no longer desires
to "wipe out all vestiges of the war;
His speech at the congratulatory re-
ception rendered him by citizens of
Washington the other night was
characteristic, and he promised to do
many things during his senatorial
term. Frona any other man the
words would have awakened more
comment, but Joe Blackburn talks so
fuently that he does not always know
what he is saying,

The proposed action of congress in
regard to the trade dollar has caused
some buying Of tiiern Try spectators.
The general impression among dealers
in trade dollars is that some measure
will be adopted by congress which
will increase their value to par. 1t is
estimated by Messrs. zimmerman &
Forshay, who have for a long time
dealt in the dollars, that the number
in circulation in the United States is
about 100000. The total amount
issued was more than $35, 100000, and
nearly the whole issue has found it's
way to China where it has been
stamped by the government. None
of these dollars can be returned to the
United States except as bullion.
Some dollars have been exported for
speculative purposes to Germany and
other European countries, but since
the price of silver advanced the profit
has been small.

Out of the 700 species of solanum
known to botanists, according to a
paper read by Mr.. G.. G.. Baker before
a recent meeting of the Linean Socie.
ty of London, there are only about six
which produce tubers, and only one of
these. the common potato, solanum
tuberosum. has yet been cultivated.
The native home of the potato is in
the dry and elevated parts of Chilli.
In other portions of the same country
is found another species, s. Maglia,
which should be much better adapted
to general cultivation, as 1t grows in
moist places. AS long ago as 1925 the
cultivation Of this species in England
was attempted, with most promising
results, but was soon abandoned be-
cause the plant was believed to be
identical with the common potato.
Another species, S. Commersini, from
the eastern part of South America, is
now being cultivated experimentally
in France, and is likewise suitable for
damp soil; while q third wild species,
8. Iamesii, Is being tried in the Unit
ed States. This last species is the one
which MI. j. G. Lennon discovered
in southeastern Arizona in. 1851.
The results of a photographic sur.
vey made in the Straits Of Sulida since
the volcanic eruption of last August
have been given by M. c. VanDoran.
1t appears that the southern part of
the peak of Krakatoa yet remains I'M
changed, and rises with an almost
perpendicular northern edge, to a
height of ALMOST 2;a00 feet above the
sea. The northern part Of the island,
however, has entirely disappeared, and
soundings on the place where it had
stood reached depth of 1900 feet
without touching bottom. The lost
ground Of KKrakatoa is evidently found
a few miles to the north, where the
depth of the water has been greatly
diminished and one old island has
been much enlarged, while several
new ones have appeared above the
surface. The entire examination of
the north of Krakatoa suggested the
idea that the surveying ship was above
a cater which had been filled with wa
ter and quenched by it.

Memphis Appeal: The protection
lists must see that the tariff, as it
stands, is intolerable to the country,
and is sure to be changed. The longer
the change is delayed, the more strong
ly existing evils will develop them
selves, and the more the country will
become impatient of them, and the
more thorough will be the consequent
tariff changes. The MORRISON bill
comes as messenger of peace in it's
moderation and care for existing inter-
ests; those who oppose it, should they
succeed, will only Ego further and
fare worse"
