at Huron.

RESIDENTS of Dakota north of the 46th
parallel, except the old ring Of politi.
clans who put the capital at Bismarck,
have paid but little attention to the
gathering at Sioux Falls. for the reason,
first, that we have but little faith in the
ability of the convention to accomplish
the purposes for which the convention
assembled and, second, we feel that il
the object of the convention should be
Standardization on the 10th parallel
and admission of the southern half
North Dakota would still be at the
mercy of the political banditti the
same outrages as of yore would continue
to be committed, and the political re
lief that all honest men hope for would
be as far off after division as it is now.
Again, we do not believe that the Dem.
ocratic house will consent to division,
and thus lay the foundation for two Re.
publican states. Hence the Sioux Falls
circus is premature and in vain. The
proceedings of the convention, however,
have developed the fact that the South
Dakota politicians aspire not only to
separate statehood, but they also want
the exclusive use of the name Dakota.
All classes of people in North Dakota
will object to this cheeky assumption.
The name Dakota belongs no more to
the south half than to the north. II
the Sioux Falls body would call their
half"Pettigrew" all North Dakota would
rise up and ask for division and admis.
sion, but we will never permit them to
appropriate the name Dakota.

The county board, which meets today,
should vote $50 Or s75 for the purpose
of paying the expenses Of collecting an

In another part of this paper will be
found an article from F. l.. Dana, Chi
cago, in which that gentleman takes
rather a gloomy view of wheat prices.
We do not agree with him in the theory
that wheat will not advance in price.
The fact that all the dealers in the coun-
try + anxious to buy and that there is
sharp competition in North Dakota
something never before experienced here
lis pretty good evidence that there is
going to be a decided advance.

are willing the exhibit shall be made If

THE FOX GOT AWAY.

How Mrs. Secretary Chandler Shocked
Washington Society and Saved Ieeynard's
Life.
For a week past the society journals
have been full of gossip about a fox
hunt which was to take place at Gen
eral Bea!'s farm, two or three miles
outside the city. Cabinet Ministers
wives, the ladies of Senator's families
talked about it at their receptions, and
the young men about town discussed it
at their clubs. Several young ladies,
amongst whom We're Senator Bayard's
daughter. were going to follow the
hounds as far as they could, willie their
escorts, Lieutenant Emory, OF the
navy, William Eustis and a dozen other
gents with ]aristocratic names, were to
do the rough -cross-counrry riding and
be in at the death.
The wretched fox which was to fur
nish the amusement was exhibited IN a
cage in q Ninth street shop window,
and was nearly frightened to death by
the crowds which gathered around.
Mrs. Secretary Chandler, however,
though q friend of the hunters, is a
member of the S. P. G. A. She dis
approved of the sport, and this morn
ing a card in the newspapers gave
notice that arrests would follow if it
were attempted.
Society was terribly exercised, but
the young gentlemen and ladies stood
their ground, and a number of them
gathered near the Arlington Hotel at
the time announced to-day, ready to
ride to the starting point. when an
agent CT the Humane Society bore
down upon them. He was astride q
very melancholy looking animal, with
cropped ears, very conspicuous ribs
and bob tail.
In spite of the manifest desire OF the
gentlemen to avoid him, he managed
to make his horse shamble up to one of
them, and announced that he was 60
ing along. They started up Connects
cut avenue at a lively gait, but by
breaking the rules of the society he
mal>aged to keep we'll in the rear, and
with II horde ofgsmall boys following
behind. added plenty of excitement, if
not pleasure, to the expedition.
Most OF the passers-by Thought the
fox hunt had already begun. Miss
Bayard and one or two other ladies,
handsomely mounted and followed by
grooms, joined them at the head of the
avenue, and then the whole oavalcade
rode rapidly out into the country.
They reached the rendezvous in a short
time, but not quickly enough to shut
the gates on the unlimited guests, and
! a consultation was decided on.
The gentlemen were for going on
with the hunt. but the ladies had the
terrorso OF the Police Court before them,
and begged that they would give it up
The result was that q very well satis-
fled fox turned tail on civilization, and
ran for the woods, while IL very discon-
ISOLATE section of Washington's best sso-
ciety, in q very bad humor, rambled
back to the city Washington Coz.
