Facts from Fargo.

Miss Baker, of Brockway Centre, was
visiting friends ut this place last week
This place somewhat reminded us OF
Goldsmith's deserted village Sunday as
most of the inhabitants eXcursed to
Lakeport to enjoy the breeze of the
limpid waters of Lake Huron.
Elisha Cough has returned from
Brockway Centre where he has been
visiting his many friends.
Culver Il Tuttle have arrived here
with their mammoth art studio. They
are doing good work and ut reasonable
prices.
1t is reported that Bob. our village
blacksmith, has been working quite late
nights keeping the neighbors awake
1t is not so; he has been practicing on
his new cornet.
Sunday night the family of Mr.. San
ders living about four miles north OF
this place were awakened. Going into
the yard they discovered large bear
trying to break into the pig pen. He
was frightened away. On Monday a
party was organized to hunt the lntru-
der. They came upon him about noon
and severely wounded him but he escap-
ed. Following his tracks they came
upon him again about four O'Clock, ly-
ing on the ground apparently dead. f.
Cough, one of the party, attempted to
roll him over when he was seized by the
right hand and badly bitten. The DR.
dressed the wound and now pronounces
him doing well.
We are sorry to learn that our dear
Bro. Rambler has left us. May he ever
be happy and peace and happiness be

Dakota State Legislature.

The repeal of the restraining section
80 of the constitution by the constitu
tional convention at Huron on the 10th
inst, leaving the state government free
to proceed in the establishment OF
courts, levying taxes, or raising militia,
had it not been re-rcstrained from any
rash measures by an act Of the legis-
lature would have tendency to try the
nerves of the timid element of Oak ota
residents; but in accordance with the
earnest wish of Governor Mellette, who
is evidently not inclined to rebellion,
the question of setting up state gov
ernment will be submitted to a popular
vote at a special election to be held in
November, 1887 This will, in any
event, defer the impending conflict for
another year, with the shadowy hope OF
congressional relief in the meantime.

ed again to disappointment. President
Simmons, of the board Of trustees. yes.
terday received telegram from Pro-
fessor Charles l.. Constant, stating that
his appointment had come too late. He
gave no other reason, but said he had
written. This will necessitate another
long and vexatious delay during which
another principal will have to be hunted
up and engaged, ere the school can be-
opened. The action of Professor Con-
slant is somewhat singular, as the
trustees had accepted his own PROPOSE
ton, even to the slightest detail. and
were confident that he would accept the
control Of the institution. The prob
abilities are, however, that some other
learned gentleman may be obtained
| whose numerous engagements will not
preclude his acceptance ofthe offer after
! making his own terms and having them
acceded to.-Journal, %.

which have from time to time been APP
pointed While We have not the least
complaint TO make of the appointment
of Hon Bartlett Tripp, we believe it
was wiser by far to fill the positions
mainly from importations than to have
filed them from the leading lawyers
who have resided and practiced for
several years in the territory"
The CHRoSIcLE congratulates itself,
having never assailed the new governor;
therefore we cannot be included in the
list of kettles that call this particular
pot black. But is not this wholesale
denunciation Of the population Of Da-
kota as carpet-baggers little too sweep
ing. We think Mr.. Johnson (Ordway)
should have at least excepted the i'm
maculate Indian, who by reason of
birth, and other trifling considerations,
should have been excluded from the
estimate.

A Righteous View.

The Black Hills Democrat, referring
to the bill recently introduced by
Springer for the admission of Dakota,
Washington, Montana and New Mexico
into the Union, says:
so far as we are concerned we don't
care whether the territories are republi-
can or democratic, when one of them
contains the requisite number Of inha-
bitants it ought to be admitted at once
and have all the benefits that statehood
confers. While we believe that dem
ocracy affords the best principles OF
government and that in their hands the
ship of state will sail in greater safety
and to more success than in the hands
Of the republican, there are a great
many people who believe differently,
and they have just as good right to their
opinions as we have. If the principles
Of democracy are right, they will pre-
vail no matter what the opposition if
they are wrong they will fail, no matter
what methods are pursued to establish
them. We say admit the territories
and then depend on the intelligence of
the people to make them what they
ought TO be politically"
