movements of his faction, in their scheme to
run a state independently, is being very
closely watched at Bismarck, as in recent
speeches he turns his battery upon Gov.
Pierce and charges that it was an insult to
the people for him to go over the South ey-
planning the situation and gathering facts TO
show whether there is danger of collision be-
tween the territorial and alleged state author
tiles. A correspondent of the Sioux Falls Ar
gus claims that Campbell has u military as
well as political organization. and that Gov.
Pierce gave special attention on his tour to
the condition of the national militia. 1t is
alleged that in his speeches the governor used
the word 'loyalty' with marked emphasis
Campbell might be dangerous if his following
was strong enough, but he will only beat the
ar.
In view of the certainty that the Republic
cans will nominate man squarely committed
to division, the Pierre Sign,l one of the ablest
Democratic papers in Il locality that has been
specially strong for division, insists that the
Democrats must make a square issue on this
point and nominate a delegate pledged to
statehood as whole. This is evidently the
growing feeling among the Democrats. If
they could have the aid OF an enabling act
like the Springer to be vou,d on it is believed
they would make Il surprising display of
strength, and possibly elect on that issue.
Some of The friends of United States Mar
Marshal Meratta are anxiously inquiring
what he has done that Gen. Hugh
J.. Campbell should introduce q
resolution in one of his league meetings at
Yankton indorSing his appointment. 1t h as
not been known that the captain has any
ympathywith the Campbell faction, although
effort has been made to induce him to locate
at Yankton. There is no doubt that he
would do his duty if there should be collisio n
between the government and Mr.. Campbell
The Pierre Signal was caught in the capital
craze and Joined in the shout for division, but
has now reviewed the situation and concludes
that it is no longer desirable or wanted by the
people. 1t believes that Republican candi-
date for delegate pledged to division would
be beaten by 1O,0e0 maiority. Since the selec-
ton of Yankton for the Republican conven-
that there is hardly possibility that the most
positive ground will not be taken in favor of
division, and it seems equally certain that the
Democrats will accept the issue.
The Democratic leaders and spapers are
nearly united i'll opposing an early party con-
vention. They think it should be held as early
as practicable, hewever after the adjourn
ment Of congress and the Republican con-
vention. Its policy will be more or less shaped
by those bodies. The Republicans have called
a meeting of their committee during the edi-
torial convention at Aberdeen next week,
and the secretary of the Democratic COM
mittee and other prominent men of the party
will be there to confer.
There is no prophet equal to the task of
naming on the map the railroads and extern
sions that will be built in Dakota this season.
nor is it possible to interpret all the mysteri-
GUS movements more or less visible A II the
great lines are believed to be interested in
movements to secure new fieits in the terri
tory, in many cases operating through reti-
cent and apparently independent parties.
New maps will evidently be needed often in
the future.
1t is a noticeable fact that in Dakota when
EIrfIf
house is usually the first to follow the shacks.
In the recent tornado in McCook county, at
Montrose $4,000 school house was the only
building Of much consequence, aside from
barns, sheds, windmills, etc., tc be totally
wrecked. 1t was diffu used over several acres
This TACT indicates that school houses are
poorly built. The total losses at Montrose
were put at $4,000, and cyclone cellars are be.
coming very numerous there since.
One of Mr.. Days county papers says he is
resting after his arduouS laborS at Washing
ton and will remain at home for the present.
1t states that his hair is turning gray as a
result of his efforts, but quotes him as saying
that he accomplished all he went to the cap
ital for with one Or two exceptions, There is
a good deal of curiosity for a view of the
program of measures for which he worked
SO successfully.
AT the next term OF court in Kingsbury
county, one w. E. Shaw, alias William Hen
the farm Of George B. Durkee. He has been
indicted by the grand jury. He admits the
act and says he did it for spite. There are
some large fields so taken by mustard and
other noXlouS weeds as to be abandoned. the
land not being worth the cost of their extlr-
patton.
Recently in a storm the lightning came
tearing through the county poor house at
Clearwater, in Hughes county. deInolishing
the table where Mrs. Clapp, the matron, was
busy, and sending the dishes, pans, kettles,
etc., flying about her head, but not harmng
her or any of the inmates. The building was
struck on two sides and set on fire in cellar
and attic. By prompt effort, it was saved.
The Scotland Citizen suggests that in view
OF the fact that Gen. Campbell is travelling
through the South telling the people that
they should set up a state government in de-
hance of the national authority. it may be
a calamity that the appropriation for the
maintenance of the militia is exhausted. Still
no large amount will be needed to quell any
revolution led by the Louisiana warrior.
The editor of the Pierre Signal states that
Congressman Hill told him that his object in
pressing his bill to divide Dakota was to Sc
cure more free trade representation in con-
gress. Ii that is fact he IS making blu n
der, as there is no reason to suppose Repub-
Hcan representatives or senators from Dakota
would vote in the direction of free trade any
more than those from Iowa or Nebraska.
In declining to deliver an Grafton at Wat err
town July Col. Donan states that his eagle
was never in better plight as he is about to
stretch its wings over good slice of Hon.
duras and Nicaragua. There is general re-
greet that the colonel is not able to put in an
appearance in the territory, but it is under
stood that he is preparing sensational work
on his explorations in Central America.
AS the militia appropriation of the last leg
jslature is about exhausted. and it costs some
$4,000 to hold an encanpment, there is
some anxiety among the parties specially in
tereSted as to how one can be held this year.
There Is talk of one in July, at some central
point which will give good bonus, and the
soldiers are generally DESTROYS of attending
one.
Statistics given of farms in Bon Homme
county show that very few have over $50
acres in cultivation. The chief product is
corn, followed by fax and OATS with hardly
more wheat than is needed for home use It
is noted that the mortgage and sheriff sales
SO common in sections dependent upon a
single crop are almost unknown there.
The rapidity with which Judge Church. the
Democratic judge, dispatches business is a
surprise to litgants and wakes up the at
torneys. 1t is in marked contrast to the dia-
tory method of Judge Smith, his predecessor
He rarely has to take case under advisement
to get time to make up his mind.
Some of the friends of Gen. Allen claim
that he favored the selection of Yankton for
the Republican convention because he had
lived there and had many personal friends
there. His only chance lies in denial and
square antagonism to the Yankton and Camp
bell influences and factions. He has nothing
to hope for from them.
The indications now are that even If a mo-
jority of the constitutional convention should
reconvene on July Ii it will not do the work
for which it is called-the submission to vote
of the restraining clause. Some resolves of
romantic devotion to division and the state
machine may be adopted, but public senti-
ment is too emphatic to allow of any Camp
bell work.
The assurance had since the recent tour of
the directors, that Bowdle in Edmunds
county will be point on the Milwaukee ex-
tension. and the terminus for an indefinite
period. has given confidence, and buildings
are going up on every hand. A lively town
will be had there this season. The place has a
Democratic paper.
