Washington. March 26--That rene
gade republican rascal from Brown coun.
ty is here again. He is doing the grea!
obstruction act by himself If he has
any friends here, they are ashamed to
make themselves known. Hence I've
never seen them.
Hon. M. L.. Mccormack has recently
arrived in the city for brief visit. He
came to look after public business and
cannot remain long.
Hon. Maris Taylor, surveyor general
of Dakota, is at the National hotel on a
flying trip. He came to make person
al report to the secretary of the interior
upon matters OF considerable Importance,
but not of nature for publication.
The Sioux reservation bill is now
properly before the house, and its pas
sage is settled matter. Hon. j. O. No
Mamma has returned to Pierre, leaving
Mayor Mcclure to look after the bill
and push it along. Mr.. McManima is
likely to return to Washington before
congress adlourns. He has done great
deal of effective work for his people.
There is no better, manlier man in all
Dakota than little Mac.
The territory will be divided on the
seventh standard. The 46th parallel has
been objected to by congressman be-
cause it is an imaginary line, and would
divide counties, and bring on litigation.
The advocates OF division have already
consented to the change, as it involves
only about five miles anyway; and the
division will be made during this ses-
sion. Hon. M. H. Day is very much in
terested in the matter, and is doing tell
ing work for it. That man deserves
we'll of Dakota. He deserves we'll at the
hands of both parties. While he is q
thorough democrat, and always works
for his party, he at the same time is ready
to pull off his coat and work with q
republican for any measure which he
believes to be for the good of the terri
tory, That's the reason like him, and
believe In him. There is nothing little
about the man.
Ordway Johnson is swearing yen-
geance on that man John Smith" for
printing his pictures 30 often. john
scn is ''agin" everybody that | know.
/ He is opposed: es.l .issioi,,=ss is;siei..
opening OF reservations, and everything
else that thu other Ordway opposes.
After the territory Is divided the pres.
ident will appoint one f. M. Ziebach t.
be governor of south Dakota. You have
heard of the gentleman. He 10 alleged
to have been ''downed" by one Boynton.
The allegation is false. NJ. Ziehach
has never been downed by anyone. He
is quietly awaiting the pleasure of the
president, and the president is awaiting
the action of congress. 1t is simply a
question of few months. Ziebach will
be governor.
Senator Ingalls, wants to know why
the fourth class postmasters have been
removed. lie will soon know. The in
formation will be furnished by First As
sistant Postmaster General Stephenson.
Mr.. Ingalls, will find that most Of them
have been removed for partisanship.
Gen. Stephenson has never made any
concealment of his belief that the offices
should be administered by democrats.
He has turned out about fifteen thousand
postmasters because they are republi-
cans. That is reason enough. When
the republicans come back to power
they will never think of asking any.
ones pardon for taking the Offices
| There is where this administration
made mistake. 1t expected to make
no removals, except for canse. 1t was
mistaken. Politics are not yet pure
enough to play the game OF honesty
Every deck politician touches, il
marked.
