by his stolid Indifference. Ii isn't Just
the fair thing to say that that man
wanted to be bribed, for we do not posi-
tlvely know that to be the case; but il
is fair to say that everybody believes
that he wanted 70 be bought. There is
no other hypothesis upon which to ao-
count for his damnable meanness toward
the people of Dakota.
Judge Pratt, of Grand Forks, is still
here. lie is one OF tine most sea;;a! genial, gen
tlemanly, and popular of all the visiting
Dakotaians. He is we'll known at the
white house, and his endorsement for
any Office is good for more than its face
value; it is above par. Yet Judge
Pratt is not in the Office business, except
as he may be abls to serve his personal
| friends. It was upon his recommends
tion that one OF the highest officials of
the territory was appointed; and that,
too, when his appointment was opposed
by some of the most rabid and deter
mined political leaders. The fact that
Judge Pratt does not want and will not
have any office for himself makes his
recommendations peculiarly valuable
to the president.
A Dakota girl has distinguished her
self. By the side of Representative
Hatch, of Missouri, yesterday, sat a
young lady, pretty, bright smiling
young lady, in lovely white dress and
broad brimmed hat. Ladies' are hardly
ever seen on the door while tho house is
nsession, which made the instance more
conspicuous and remarkable. Children
| little boys and little girls--a-e some
times admitted to the floor in charge
OF a member NJ. Hatch's visitor was
admitted as a little girl. Before bring
ing his visitor in he went to Speaker
Carlisle. and haihs rather scrupulous
Ihfnself about such matters, asked the
aker what was the maximum limit of
/ a.. d ut which little boys and little girld
could be admitted. The speaker notic-
ling that Mr.. Hatsh's heart was throb-
bing with anyiety to crafty bis visitor.
gave liberal Interpretation to the rule
"for this occasion only and told Mr..
Hatch that if the young lady would
admit that she was a little girl she could
enter. The young lady was admitted,
land soon all the eyes OF the house were
upon her as she sat and chatted with the
genial gentlemen who is oleomargarine's
greatest enemy. She is from pretty
little country place not far west of Huron
and not great distance east of Pierre.
She has lived in Bismarck, and also in
Yankton. Doyou know her?

in quest OF the Aberdeen land office. He

possibly defeat him is the custom of the
i interior department. 1t is not custom
K airy to appoint any man to an Office at
his own home. That fact may defeat

4 lucky man will be Brown, of Huron.
