Dakota is having Il large amount of
free advertising through congress this
session. which must certainly rebound
to her advantage in the diffusion of
fuller and more reliable information
regarding our territory. There will
be at least this advantage resulting
from the agitation. But it is not for
this incidental benefit that the friends
of division are laboring. Nor is it ut
all certain that the effort to divide the
territory will fail. ". some predict, who
are trying to throw cold water on the
movement. And why should any in
the north oppose it! The same rea-
sons exist now for division that held
good i'll 1881 when every paper in
North Dakota favored it. Some op.
pose division because they say it can
not be accomplished during this ses-
sion of congress that the admission
Of the territory as IL whole can he
secured. If this were true it would
not be a sufficient argument against
division, but the probabilities are
| against admission as Il whole.

For The encouragement of the young ladies
in the states who are writing to know if it
would be proper and pleasant for young la
dies to come to Dakota alone, the Towner
Tribune pertinently suggests Whether the
men OF Dakota are more gallant than else
where, or whether the presence of woman
reminds them of wives, sweethearts or sisters
"back home" everywhere that a lady goes
in Dakota, on the public thoroughfare, in the
solitude of the wild prairie, or in the social
circle, she is regarded with manly Difference
and respect, heightened, perhaps, by appre
citation Of the courage or enterprise that has
brought her out here to solve for herself the
problem, what may woman do to support
herself? Her presence here is regarded as
much OF a matter Of course as is that of a
man. Scattered throughout Dakota are hun
dreds of women, some of them quite young,
way in the world as clerks, bookkeepers, tel
ephonists, cashiers, real estate dealers and
farmers, and the Tribune is gratifed in be-
ing able to say that so far they have been
uniformly successful, particularly in the last
named vocation, as there are many feminine
farmers in Dakota who can count their
wealth by thousands. Nor are these repre-
sentatives of the strong-minded class, but
modest, sensitive, lady-like women as can
be found in any community in the older
states.

Don't Want the Nomination.

To the Editor of the Globe:
VIII you kindly allow me space in your
paper to con tradict statement in last Fri
days Pioneer Press, that was one of the
latest candidates for aldermanic honors in
the Sixth ward. Such is not the fact. /
have no desire for any political Office that
requires dishonorable practices to obtain it,
as we see practiced at all primary elections,
particularly in the Sixth ward, where politi
clans make boast that they can secure the
nomination by methods which no honest
man can sanction. No, Mr.. Editor, / want
none Of it, and it is my opinion that the
Sixth ward is going to redeem itself in the
coming election by ignoring any candidate
that gets the nomination by such means. If
the voters of the ward cannot get justice at
the primary election they will put up an in
dependent candidate and elect him, and
show the tricksters that their day is past.

SOME MAGAZINES.

Notes of the Prominent articles in tn
"Centmry" and Other Ne,c Periodicals.
The April number of the Century presents
some striking contrasts in its writings and
illustrations. The quaint old landmarks of
Florence that accompany the second part of
Mr.. Howells' Florentine Mosaic tell the old
world story as forcibly as the holder drawings
that set of Mr. Smalley's descriotiv article,
From Pugets Sound to the Upper Columbia,
depict the spirit of our newer world. The
war paper is an account by Admiral Porter
of The Opening Of the Lower Mississippi
Theodore Roosevelt gives his observations
on Some Phases of State Legislation, and
Silas Lapham and The Bostonans are con-
tinued. There are other interesting articles
besides these, but the earnest, timely and
really valuable contribution to this April
number, and q valuable contribution to
American political and social literature, is
Henry w. Grady's statement In Black and
White, covering the present aspects of the
negro question in the South. In reply to Mr.
Cable Mr.. Grady takes the ground that the
instincts of blacks and whites are mutually
against social or educational mingIing of
the races in the South; points to failures
and in every way has word to say that all
intelligent Americans ought to read aud pom
der as word right out of the bottom and in
tricate facts of our national existence. This
number of the Century completes the twenty
ninth volume
Adiutant Gen. Thomas Jordan's article on
the Campaign and Battle of Shiloh, in the
March United Service Magazine, published
by T. H. S. Hamersly, New York, will attract
unusual attention, as it is an answer to Gen.
Grants article in the February Century, and
1t is deserving of special mention here, mas
much as by singular oversight Gen. Jor-
dams article has been credited to Gen. Grant
and the Century Magazine, to all of which II
is reply from the Confederate point of view
St. Nicholas for April is very CHEEKY and
attractive, looking on many of its pages as il
it had made special effort to coax along the
tardy spring. There is great diversity OF
merit in its illustrations, but most of them
succeed in giving genuine amusement to
wide-awake children, and the reading matter
is full Of both instruction and amusement.

Wby Women Dress.

If women dressed solely to please men
they would spend precious little money on
their raiment, for $50 would go as far as $3.50
goes now. No; the truth is that one OF the
chief incentives to dress among women is
the desire to create envy in the breast Of her
feIlowwoman. This passion varies with wo
men, but few are without it. 1t Is as natural
in the sex as the horror of rats or the dread
of horned cattle. It furnishes the sweetest
ioy in life, and gives the widest field for in
genuity and origin atty. That It Is the ruling
passion in the female breast when on dress
parade, any observer of the State street show
on q pleasant afternoon viii readily see in
the glances which are bestowed on striking
costumes and the evidences OF the breaking
of the commandment against covetousness
which abound on every hand. II it were not
for this feeling, woman's dress would not be
the expensive luxury it Is to-day TO bus-
bands and fathers. Remove this desire to
outshine other women and you would take
the pith out of the whole occupation Of dress.
There would be left, however, the natural
desire of any unspoiled woman TO adorn her
person with pretty things. It may be seen
in The little girl who ia not yet able TO talk,
Int Who is az much woman in her in stinct
for color and softness of fabric as she viii
ever be. The boy cares nothing for such
things any more than be does for doll or 3
cradle. But the girl has the deftDess OF
hand and the keenness of instinct for form
and color which are hers by birthnght, and
which. If found on the young man, are the
result Of long and careful cultivation.

At the same time savors rather too much OF

Your skin is satin, your nostrils red,
Your eyes are birds, or loving girls;
And from the delicate fetlock to stately head
A throbbing vein cordage around you curls.
