YANKToN DAKOTA

| On the eve of a general election
throughout the territory there Is no
cause to feel anything but encourage.
ment aud satisfaction over theprobabili-
| ties of the morrow. Dakota's democracy
has this time made it's most vigorous
campaign since the days when democ-
racy was able to sometimes win in terri
torial congressional contests. But its
efforts will prove of little avail. The
sensation of unwonted activity has been
a delightful one TO our democratic breth-
ren and because their blood has been
stirred from its sluggishness and is mov-
ing with quiokened circulation they
fondly imagine that the polls are about
to respond to their efforts. After the
count their expectations will subside
and Dakota will stand as solidly repub-
lican as ever before. Judge Gifford's
canvass has nowhere been weakened by
democratic efforts and whatever may be
accomplished by the opposing party
through local differences will not affect
Ills sGauulHR.
In very many of the counties of Da-
kota, particularly in the south,
there are heated contests over county
and legislative tickets more acrimoni-
GUS, perhaps. than during any previous
canvass within our territory. These
disputes will be settled upon the ground
of their origin and will have no effect
upon the general result. Local distur-
Dances within republican ranks are the
outgrowth of various causes which can
in no sense be attributed to lack of party
loyalty. They are the neIghborbood
revolutions which come periodically and
through them the party purifes itself
and thereby reaffirms it's allegiance to
the organization as whole and adds
strength to the power Of that organiza-
tion. That they are occurring generally
this year is evidence of better political
conuition to come. Through them q
lurking poison in the body pollt1o will
be eliminated and greater general health.
fulness will ensue.
Republicans may congratulate them
! selves over the excellent condition of
their cause throughout the territory and
| may feel confident that tomorrow will
close upon another glorious victory in
Dakota.

.Brookings urges the election of its
candidate for the legislature for the
reason that he is in favor OF a good
appropriation for the Brookings agricuI-
tural college. These are the motives
which demora.i1e legislators. It is far
better to send your man to this capital
for the general good he can do and
count the maintenance of the agricul-
tural college, as part of the general
good. A legislator with local mission
upon him is in an uncomfortable and
sometimes dangerous position.

The late respite given by Gov,
McEnery to Ford and Murphy has
furnished a subject of comment
all over the country. Many favor
a communication of the punishment
of Ford and Murphy, to imprlson
ment for life, whilst a large portion
of the press condemn any interfer
ence with the law.
The case has been twice before
the Board of Pardons and twice
they have refused to recommend
any change in the verdict, se1ten
cling two of the vilest murderers in
Louisiana to death.
If it goes before them again, no
plausible reason has been shown,
that would Justify them IN overru
ling their former conclusions.
The Board can judge what's best
for them to do. We believe that
they will act conscientiously aud
justly. But if we were q member
of that Board the chances are that
we would not attend q meeting to
try a case that we already twice de
cided.
Neither law nor justice requires
them to reopen the case.

Some of the newspapers are wor
rying themselves into a white heat
because a few sugar planters have
shipped some of their sugar and mo
lasses to Texas, st. Louis and elsa

Thirty five years ago briggs, ships
and vessels Of various kinds came

did the same thing in the Lafourche
and all along the coasts carrying
loads to the numerous cities in the

right along then, Notwithstanding

1t would he strange if the small
shipments now made into other
markets, which are not rs per cen

would materially interfere with the
prosperity and progress Of tho

prove that the planters are becom

8. F. Winchester of st. Mary to
the Judgeshlp of the 10Th judicial
District made vacant by the death
ofJudge F. S. Goode, and in appoint
ing Mr.. Van P. Winder "a District
of that District, to fill
the Office caused by the resignation
of Mr.. Winchester, the newly APP
pointed Judge.
The appointees are honorable
gentlemen, we'll versed in the law,
and will make spright, active and
efficient officers.
There are only two parishes in
the District, viz: St. Mary and Ter
rebonne, and it was IA happy
thought in the Governor to give
the Jugdeship to one parish aud the
Distric: Attorneyship to the other.
Mr.. Winchester is Il son of the
late Judge Winchester who in the
good Old times owned a large aud
valuable sugar estate below Donald
sonville. The present stock came,
We believe, from Kentucky.
A brother of the appointee was
for a while one OF the Judges of the
Fifth Circuit ; he died in Office
and was succeeded by Judge &.
w. Blake, the present incumbent.
The newly appointed Judge of
the 10th Judicial District will be
remembered by a host of comrades
as the gallant captain Of Winches
ter's battery that did such noble
service during the civil war in the
trans Mississippi department under
the command of the late General
Dick Taylor.
Mr.. Winder is also descended
from good ancestry. He lisa grand
son of the lamented aud distinguish
ed Tennessean, Felix Grundy,
whose descendants are among the
most honored and respected families
of Tennessee. He has been a prac
Using attorney for several years in
the parish of Terrebonne ; is noted
for his bright intellect and popular
sociable manners. A little over a
year ago he married Judge Goodies
eldest daughter, a charming intellec
tual lady, and upon him now de
wolves the care of Judge Goodies
family.
Both Of the appointees have been
consistent democrats.
These two appointments are Ell
Enthusiastically endorsed by the PEG
pie of all classes in the district ire
spective of party.
The appointment of Mr.. Winches
ter is ad interim:only ar election for
Judge has been ordered by the Gov
ernor for the 21st. March on which
day the numerous and devoted
friends aud admirers of Mr.. Win
chester are confident of electing him
by a rousing majority. At the gen
eral election in 1884 he carried the
district for the Office of district at
torney against his opponent Mr..
Cam. Allen by over one thousand
majority.
From the accounts which reach
US from all parts of the District,
we safely predict that Mr.. Win
chester will carry Terrebonne al
most unanimously, and that he will
more than likely secure a majority
in st. Mary, thus securing his cleo
ton by a larger majority than that
by which he was elected to the dis
trict attorneyship in April, 1884.
The SENTINEL wishes Mr. Win
chester a sweeping victory on 31st
March, 1886.

ANOTHER Raphael has turned up in the
United States, this time in Jacksonville,
ILL.,, where it WAS shown at the Twelfth
Annual Exhibition OF the Art Association.
The Last Raphael that turned up before
this one, at Chicago, claimed us the best
proof of It's authenticity that it had been
stolen from the Vatican, g story which
has since been deprived of its honorable
bottom. Our newest Raphael, s.Head of
Christ" measuring 4x5 inches, has ante
cedents of less criminal nature. 1t was
given to nurse il the household of King
Joseph Bonapazte by the King himself.
ssOne day." thus the story runs ''while
re-arranging his gallery, the king
took from among the collections this
painting OF the Head Of Christ and pre-
sented it to Mrs. Gallet, asking that it be
received as souvenir and in the remen1-
brance of his having been King Of Naples
Surely, remarks the Magazine of Art, if
this sort of stealing and giving by kings
to nurses goes on for little while longer,
we shall have more Raphaels mot to speak
