WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The District of
Columbia has long been under protection
from mercantile gentlemen yclept drum
mers. 1t costs Baltimore, Wilmington
and other outside cities a round sum for the
privilege of selling their wares in this dis
trict And now one of the visiting states
men from Dakota says:
"We are free traders out in Dakota, but we
want incidental protection. We intend to
have a bill passed by our legislature this
winter taxing foreigners who come TO sell
their goods to u.s..
But is not the national tariff law high
enough for your
Eyes. 1t is too high. The foreigners
speak of are residents of ST. Paul, Mime
apolis and Chicago. They coax hundreds of
thousands of dollars out of Dakota every
year. This is where a great deal of our
wealth is gong. 1t is filtered through the
hands of the drummers and their firm into
the Golfers of the East
but you have to get Eastern goods, and
will have to do so for some time, wont your
THAT is true. But we need not pay profits
to N iddlemen at every large city on the route
between Pierre and New York. If we can
get territorial tax put on drummers of say
$500 for the territory and $50 tor the county,
the wholesale and jobbing trade of Dakota
will loom up and boom. You see, we might
as we'll buy direct from the manufacturers
and let Dakota men do the wholesale BUSINESS
as to go Chicago or st. Paul and place those
wholesale profits there"
''But will not such wholesale Interstate
boycott tend to bring about evil results?"
If you call increasing our wealth evil re-
suits then must say yes. For such law
will help us amazingly"
''But, when you boycott st. Paul, Minneap-
oils and other cities east of you, doesn't it &C.

sNpIFFERENCEAND IMBECILIrY
Charged Against The Managers of
The Republican Campaign.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia gentleman
well posted in territorial affairs, and who
receives great many of the Dakota papers,
has invited attention to little series of ex-
plantations which are going on between Brer
Bowen, of Yankton, and the News, of Alb
erdeen. The latter paper charges the Re
publican convention with playing second i'd
die to the Sioux Falls convention, and
thereby accounts for the loss of Republican
votes and the reduction of Gifford's majority.
1t also charges indifference and imbecility
against the managers of the Republican
campaign. 1t especially harps upon the
incompetence Of Clifford. Br'er Bowen has
come to the rescue, and there seems to be a
determination on both sides to print lot of
personal explanation and ''I-tOd- YOusO"
editorial. The gentleman who makes note
of the matter deprecateS Republican Squab
bes over so plain matter. He says that
the whole trouble was there were too many
Democratic voters in Dakota to suit the Re-
publican wire pullers. THAT is all. He
adds that the only real wise Republican in
Dakota during the campaign was Maj. Ed
wards. of Fargo, because he stayed out Of
politics.

THE SIOUX RESERvATION.
Prospects for the Passage of TIN
Bill This Session not Good.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia gentlemen
who took an active interest in the opening
of the Sioux Indian reservation last winter
expressed the opinion then. and reiterates
it now, that there are too many rights
granted the railways in the Dawes bill; and
that number of congressman will oppose
the bill on that account. Men who believe
that in justice to the people along the
Missouri river, and the energetic. ambitious
citizens of the Hills, something should be
done. will vote against the bill as it now
stands. The retirement of two Republican
representatives in the Northwest will take
two friends oft of the house that the rail-
roads have been counting on to assist them
in keeping certain eXtOrtlOns in the Dawes
bill. But they will be here all winter, and
their pernicious influence will be felt. The
gentleman does not speak hopefully of til e
bill. He does not not expect that it will be
passed at the coming session of congress-
He alleges that certain congressman, who
has great power in the matter, has been
''seen" by the interested corporations. The
congressman referred to is in position to
utterly and completely gag the bill and
choke it to death before the house ever
sees it.

Col. B. K. Jamlson has another good

him to ask:

"Oh, use it to haul people around who
want to see the beautiful scenery you have

Frightened to Death.


Never brighten children, A man in
Trenton, whose fourteen-year-o boy got
to staying out too late nights, put black
mask on his face, hid in a dark alley and
jumped out at his son with fearful yell as
the boy passed by. But it so happened
that policeman was strolling along at the
same time. and as he caught sight of the
figure be shrieked with terror, ran four
miles at the top of his speed and dropped
dead. while the boy. hastily calling to-
gether mob of his fellows, pursued his
father down the alley with bricks and
language, both hard. And yet, in spite of
these terrible lessons, there are grown peo-
pie who foolishly delight in frightening
children. Still. the same grown person
isn't liable to scare the same boy 0ftener

VERY QUEER WEDDING TRIP.
The Happy Couple who stayed i'm 4,
Railroad station all Day.

1.-THE queerest wedding trip ever heard
Of" said the station master at the West
Side depot to the Chicago Herald man,
took place one day last week. The
couple were from little corn and hog sta
ton down ON the Burlington, and they came
up on one of the morning trains. They
went into the waiting room upstairs and re-
manned there all day. At noon they
brought out a bit of lunch and ate it to-
gcther. Only once or twice did the groom
venture beyond the station walls, and the
cries of the hackmen quickly frightened
him back.
1.-THE bride had great curiosity to go over
closer to the river so she could see the ship
ping but the groom was afraid to leave the
station for fear of getting lost. Notwth-
standing the seeming monotony of the day
they were as happy as clans all day long
sitting a-hold of each others hands. When
evening came they 5ook the night train for
home, where they were doubtless received
as a hero and heroine after their adventures,
taking in the wonders of Chicago. 1t was

But Few Honest Efforts Being
Made TO Get Trees TO Growing.
SPECIAL TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The general
land Office complains of frauds and at
tempted frauds by timber culture entries
There seems to be more villany attempted
to be practiced upon the government in that
than In any other branch of the public bust
ness in the interior department. The rulings
of the land office for the coming year will
be strengthened and made more rigid than
ever in this regard. Not only the letter,
but the spirit of the law will be compelled
and enforced. PLANTING trees in November,
or any month when trees cannot be ex-
pected to grow, will not be tolerated. There
must be an honest and effective effort made
by those who make timber culture entries
to grow trees upon the land so entered.
Otherwise the officials of the land office will
be instructed to compel compliance with the
rulings of the department.. There will be
no laXity of construction of the law. 1t
will be construed to mean what its authors
evidently intended it to mean. and new leg
islatIOn will be asked in order to strengthen
the hands of the officers of the law.
