JUDGE EDGERTON.

Major A. w. Edwards enlivens his cor
respondence to the Fargo Argus with OBJ
servations that prove him to be a man
who can look at events as they are trans
piring and fgnre out their effect upon
the future. He is one of the most
shrewd observers of men and measures
that we have in the territory to-day and
thoroughly comprehends the drift of
public sentiment. In the Argus of We'd
nesday morning, is the following in re-
gard to menwho have been and are now
prominent in the politics of the terri
tory:
There was time in the history of South
Dakota when the Hon. Frank Pettigrew was
almost generally conceded q seat in tha Uni
ted States senate when that section was ad-
United as state, and the Hon. John R. Gam
BILE was ais spoken of most favorably in that
connection, but it's IN old and trite saying
that man is never great to his valet and
these gentlemen in mixing with the common
herd" here in the legislature have not found a
bed of roses, and thei guiding star seems to
have somewhat forsaken them. Judge Edger-
ton, who has grand good hold on the ways
of the people of South Dakota, seems to
be gaining ground rspidly in the direc-
ton of fsuccess, and it now looks as
though aq avalanche was setting in favorable
to his becoming the first and senior senator
from the great state of South Dakota. Aside
from his acknowledged legal acumen Judge Ed
gerton has nad experience as a senator Of the
United States, representing the great, growing
and populous state of Minnesota, and would
naturally take foremost position among the
members of that body in which he once held a
seat. The Judge is frank and eoial sort of a
man, whose very hand shake is sufficient to win
every Acquaintance. He has mildly beaming
countenance with fascinating deep blue eye.
and his comely white hair with the contour OF
his countenance evidences loving heart COM
bined with firmnes that renders him amenable
to the soubriquet of "a perfect judge" Taking
it all in all am rather sorry for the younger
aspirants who seem to have lost their grip. but
cannot help rejoicing in the fact that South Da-
kota has such splendid statesman in the per-
son of Judge Edgerton ready to fill the bill.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1885-02-20
BILL TO DIVIDE LAWRENCE
COUNTY.

Il The bill for the division of Lawrence
county is now under consideration be-
fore the house, and it is to be sincerely
hoped in the interest of justice and fair
play that it will pass and become law.
The case is just this-the agricultural
portion of that county is threatened
with absolute ruin. The bullion barons
who own the mines are running the
county to suit themselves. Every year
it is being run deeper and deeper in
debt. When the mines are exhausted
the whole mining region will be deserted
and left desolate, and the burden of debt
and taxation will be left upon the farm
ers of the Belle Fourche valley. This
would work their absolute ruin. They
would be driven out from the valley
which they have developed and in which
they have established their homes. Mr..
Mccall, as the champion of the bill, is
fighting a battle for justice and right.
He is fighting to save his own and the
property of his constituents from abso-
lutte confscation. It remains to be seen
whether this legislature will pass an act
to relieve these people from the yoke and
burden which syndicate of bulllonists
has placed upon them. The course OF
the legislature on this matter will be
watched with deep interest by the peopl
of the territory. The Black Hills is not
paying near it's proportion Of taxes into
the territorial treasury, and the people
know it. It is not fair that the hard
working farmers of the Belle Fourche
valley should longer be left to the tender
mercies of this syndicate. If this inJus-
tice is longer permitted, day of reck-
oning will surely come, and in that day
members will wish they could wipe out
their records. The TRIBUNE believes
that Justice will prevail and that the bill
will pass.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1885-02-20

AMONG the men of marked charac-
ter and strong individuality in
the present legislature, is Hon.
Judson LaMoure, of Pembina. There
is no shamorfalse pretense about
him, and yet he is oftener mis-
represented, misunderstood and ma
ignedthan any other public man in
the territory. It seems to be always in
order for newspaper reporters to get a
drive on Mr.. LaMoure, however untruth-
full or unjust. The truth is, there is no
man living truer to his friends than the
gentleman from Pembina. He is a man
of strong convictions and is always faith
full to them. If he were hypocrite and
dissembier, he would probably avoid the
covert and mean slurs that are frequently
indulged in at his expense. He has
made name in the hiatory Of Dakota of
which he has reason to be proud; and for
which his constituents will never be
ashamed. He is earnest, honest and
free hearted, a born leader Of men.
When man once ties to him he will

THE SPHINX COUNTY MATTER.

It seems that during the controversy
relating to the division of Sphinx county,
there must have been some tall lying.
The opponents of the bill, which the
Governor vetoed, claim that about all
the telegrams sent here in favor of the
bill while it was pending, were forgeries.
This was true in relation to kilograms
purporting to come from J. NJ. Beidle-
man, prominent farmer in the south OF
Sphinx county, to the effect that he was
favorable to division and locating the
county seat at Ashton. He publicly pro-
nounces this as a forgery. The tele-
grams purporting to come from the three
commissioners are also pronounced
forgeries. There was also another
telegram published, purporting to
be from D. w. Poindexter, judge
of probate, favoring the scheme.
Judge Poindexter comes out in the fol-
lowing card and denounces that telegram
as forgery:
Mr.. ED1roR:-My attention was lately called
to an item in yonr raper OF last week in refer
ence to me, which contains this language
Judge of Probate Poindexter telegraphed the
Bismarck TRIBUNE as follows: "Locate county
seat anywhere but Red6eld,'' etc.
Permit me to say through the columns of the
Sun that am not the author or sender of any
snch TELEGRAM. D. w. Po1NDExTER.
Ashton, Feb. IL, 1885.
A prominent citizen of Sphinx county
says that the work of the lying bureau
will be thoroughly exposed before he
gets through with it.

aEH1sLaTlVE REPORTS.

The legislative reports, personal gos-
sip, local and territorial news, WASH
ineton and general telegraphic matter
will be found complete in the columns
of the DAILY TRIBUNE. The circulation
of the daily now extends to every county
in the territory, but many will be here
who have friends at home who will be
anxious to know promptly the action
taken on various bills of local or general
interest, and in no other manner can
this information be so satisfactorily
given as by sending the DAILY TRIBUNE
during the session of the legislature
It,is sent to any address during the bal
ance of the session for 81.

THE ALBERT LEA ROUTE.

This route is growing in popularity
and is drawing to itself a large portion OF
the immigrant traffic by it's liberal rates
and the accommodating spirit of it's man
ayers. It runs daily through express
trains from Minneapolis and st. Paul to
Chicago. Its service is of the very best
and it's equipment qnexcelled by any
rocd. E. st. John, of Chicago, general
passenger and ticket agent of this road
has sent out to the public an artistically
printed hand bill, containing extracts
from the great speech of Col. Pat Donan,
before the Glover club, of Philadelphia,
descriptive of Dakota, the fertility of it's
soil, the salubrity of it's climate, and the
great inducement it holds out to the peo-
ple of the older sections of the
country to come here and share
in the blessings of free land
and free homes. The TRIBUNE can re-
commend to it's many thousand readers
in the east who contemplate coming to the
northwest, the Albert Lea route, as the
best one for them to take. s. f. Boyd,
general passenger and ticket agent at
the northern end of the line has his head
quarters in Minneapolis and is one of
the most gentlemanly and broad gauged
railroad officials in the country. He
spares no effort to push the interests Of
the road which he serves with zeal and
faithfulness. To meet him is to meet a
gentleman in every sense of the word. A
spirit of politeness and accommodation
and true business principles permeates
every department of his corporation. BY
this route the immigrant has fair access
to terminal points in eastern and central
Dakota. r. r. Gable is president and
general manager, and is a man of broad
business views and of most thorough
executive ability. General Ticket and
Passenger Agent St. John is greatly in
terested in the growth and development
of Dakota, and always does his share TO
turn immigration in this direction.

Ex-V1CE PRESIDENT HAMLIN, who is
IN Washington to attend the dedic alton
of the Washington monumet, said yester-
day that only nine men are now living
who were members of the senate in l848,
when that body attended the laying Of
the corner stone of the monument. These
are Yulee of Florida, George w. Jones
of Nevada, Bradbury and and Hamlin of
Maine, Fitch of Michigan, Jefferson
Davis Of Mississippi, Atchison Of Missouri

INSURANCE BILL.

The insurance bill introduced in the
council by Mr.. Twomey and which has
passed that body and gone to the house,
is fair and carefully drawn bill. It is
satisfactory to both home and foreign
companies, guarding we'll the interests
and at the same time not oppressive to
the insurance companies. It is a subject
which no man in the territory under
stands more thoroughly and clearly than
the author of the measure, who has de-
voted much time to it's preparation. It
will, no doubt, become a law, and work
we'll for the people of the territory. The
member from Cass county has, in the
labor he has devoted to this law, shown
himself good, careful and able legisla-

always be found for him. His course IN
the present legislature has marked him
as careful, conscientious legislator, and
no matter what may be said, when the
roundup of records Of members OF this
legislature is made,. it will be found that
no crookedness or jobbery can be charged
to him. He is a true friend OF Da-
kota and her people and faithful rep
resentative of his constituents. The
newspaper scribes who take advantage
of his good nature and try to
lower him in the estimation OF the public,
will not succeed in accomplishing their
object
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1885-02-20

IT is pleasing to note that all the at
tention of the correspondents of the
south side press is not engrossed in legis-
lative affairs. Mr.. Wheelock in his last
letter to the Yankton Press and Dako-
tain pays the society of Bismark high
compliment and speaks of the palatial
residences in the capital city. Mr.Whee-
lock is evidently gentleman of refined
culture and refined tastes.

FARGO Republican,: The st. Paul
Globe, in sketching the members of the
legislature, says of Hon. A. p. Rice, OF
