1t Covered Old Nose.

They were going to whip man at the
public post at Glendale, Va, and three or
four of us rode over from the Malvern Hill
battlefield to see the operation. The cul-
prit was burly, big negro. and the audi
ence, numbering about 500, was mostly
composed of blacks. When we reached
the scene the man was already triced up.
They had his wrists dashed to a cross-bar
on the post, his sleek and greasy back was
bare. and he was trying hard to work his
courage up to meet his fate like a white
man.

Correspondence of the Globe
HURON. OAK, Dec. 25.-Ihe introduce
ton i'll congress of the Frederick bill for
the admission of Dakota as whole is not
satisfactory to either Republicans or DEM
ocrats here. 1t had been hoped that if adj
mission was refused. division at least
would have been granted. This would
have been accepted by all parties in Da-
kota as at least u satisfactory compromise.
Democrats here express the opinion that. If
the Democrats in congress persist in fore
ing such bill upon Dakota, it will arouse
such local prejudice against the party III
this territory as will prevent it from ever
attaining supremacy. On the other hand.
if no such prejudice be aroused. the terri
tory will naturally soon become Democratic
upon the free trade question. Rather than
antagOnize the people of Dakota to Democ-
racy. why not rally them to its support.
This can easily be done. In the Republican
convention that nominated candidates, I'M
der the constitutional movement the motto
most cOnspicuOusly displayed over the
speakers stand was, Division first. then
Statehood Now, if the Democrats in
congress will introduce and pass a division
bill to take effect at once, or upon a ratiti-
cation by vote of the people of all Dakota,
they will advance the cause of Democracy
in Dakota which their present action Will
totally annihilate. Admission as whole.
if consented to by the senate. would wholly
fail before the people, and. without gain
ing any satisfactory results, congress would
succeed in rendering the name democrat
odi0us in Dakota. Prejudice once aroused
is most difficult to overcome, and as Dem
ocrat. with moss on his back, your cor
respondent would most earnestly urge
upon Democratic congressman the absolute
necessity of an immediate modification OF
their views upon the Dakota question. 1t
is sincerely to be hoped that they will not
allow the Republicans to force them into a
position of hostility to SO proper and just
movement as the division and admission OF
Dakota. If they do, Dakota will always
be Republican. If they do not, it will soon
be Democratic.

of the police in the matter do not seem to

AUSTIN, Mimi, Dec. PA fire broke
out in Browns bakery on Mill street about
l o'clock this morning. which soon commu-
nicated to the adjoining buildings, destroy
ing J. T. Fairbanks office and coal sheds
and Weisel & DreSners saloon. The bakery
was insured in the Phoenix Of Brooklyn for
$500. The stock was insured in the North
western National of Milwaukee for $500.
The loss on buildings is total;on stock light.
j. f. Fairbanks had no insurance. Had
the wind been blowing from the opposite
direction the whole block would have been
destroyed, as the facilities for combating
fire are exceedingly poor. The origin of
the fire Is unknown, but is supposed to
have been a defective fiue.

Horse Heaven.

Several years since. it will be remem-
bered. Gen. Abe Buford announced in an
article that attracted no little comment in
Kentucky, his belief that horses went to
heaven after death. Soon after, DIR. Tai
mage announced the same belief from his
pulpit. under such circumstances as to sug-
gest that he had caught the idea from Gen.
Buforo, and now Henry Ward Beecher al
ludes to the doctrine as one that he is not
prepared to deny. In this connection it will
be interesting to read the last five verses of
the third chapter of Ecclesiastes, as express
ing Solomon's views on the subject. This
will give these gentlemen trouble when they
go to preach against the turf" as of
course ''turfmen" will stick to their horses
ecJosr than ever.

Dakota and the Presidency.

The prominent Republican papers in Da-
kota insist that the four votes of South Da-
kota in the next presidential election will
cut no figure, but the result will be deter
mined as the last was, by the vote of New
York. consequently there should be no hes
itation about admitting the state of South
Dakota. Nothing is said about the two
new senators and the TWO more that North
Dakota will soon send in case of division.
OF course partisan considerations do not
cut any figure with Republicans, but as a
matter of economy, in view of the long
mileage. it is believed that two Republican
senators should be able to represent both
North and South Dakota. There cannot
be good ground of complaint if the Demo
Gratis in the house do not see anything COM
mendable in the work of the Campbells.
Moodys and other Republican politicians at
Huron, and see fit to offer an enabling act
to form state constitution broad enough
to cover the entire territory. There
is much reason to believe that
this will prove acceptable to a
a large majority of the people, and no valid
objection appears to allowing them to give
formal and definite expression to their
wishes on the subject. 1t is presumed this
will be the course taken

The chief cause of dissatisfaction with the

that it requires actual and continuous settle
ment to acquire land. There is no apparent

HI urOn.

Parties in this city have on exhibition, at
the Huron Real Estate exchange, a plan for
a new addition to be known as Park Grove
Addition to the City of Huron. 1t is on Da-
kota avenue, the main business. street of
the town, three-eighths of mile south of the
present city limits and is so far the finest
piece of plating in the city. Last Satur-
day night the city council granted an electric
light charter to j. Eldride of this place. The
charter provides that an electric light plant
shall be in operation in this city within one
year. The understanding is however, that
it will be in operation in from three to six
months. This will be a great stride forward
and a magnificent advantage to our progress
i've city. An artesian well company is now
organizing to sink a well here for a water
power. The probability is that a well here
would have pressure of over 200 pounds to
to the square inch. 1t will be utilized by
water motors for manufacturing purposes.
-. The Northwestern railroad extension to
Yankton is now completed and will more
closely bind together the friendship existing
between this and that city. With this link
completed Huron has direct railroad connec-
ton with nearly every large city in Southern
Dakota. Two new roads are promi sed US
the coming season and spring will witness a
big boom in Huron. -. Charles Reed
leaves for the South in a few days,
where he will spend the winter. Mr..
Tucker of the wisconsin Land and Lumber
company has invested Target in Huron prop
erty since the election of this place as the
capital, and proposes, between now and the
LIST of May, to erect forty residences in the
city, to cost from $1,000 to $500 each. The
weather here is now so fine that he has con-
cluded to break ground for two of them to-
morrow. The plans for six of these buildings
are here and are indeed beautiful specimens
of architecture.
