'When you get mad and decide to

A New Piow.

Last week pillow from the manufacto.
tory of d. Bradley, Chicago, arrived in
Brookhaven for the Menelas plantation,
and while here excited good deal Of
comment and not little ridicule. A few
who saw it pronounced 1t q fraud, q fail
are. Others said It is mule-killer and
will require all the mules on the planta-
ton to pull it !; while others still Insisted
that ono man cannot handle it, and that
1t will require ono man to each handle,
and various other expressions Of like i'm
port.
The pillow Il all iron and steel except
the handles. The beam is of the go0se-
neck psttern, and its capacity tor cutting
and farming is from II to IA inches in
stead Of from 4 to 6, like the common
plantation plow. Last Thursday Mr.
Williams, an efficient plowman, started
the pillow with 2 mules on the toughest
piece of land on the plantation and whore

times more than our common plows and
does more than double the amount of
work. still it does not require double the
power to pail it.
Such work as this has probably never
been done in Lincoln county before. The
public will await with interest the now

Expensive Voters.

The Act Of the last Legislature requir-
ing tho County Registrar to give public
netice and visit each voting precinct just
before each general election for the pnr-
pose of giving all unregistered voters an
opportunity TO register, is a very unnec-
essary and expensive law if this county
may be taken as any criterion. The fol-
lowing is the way the account stands for
the last election:

Morris Thomas, Senator Gorman's friend
the Baltimore political leader and the
partner of Eugene higgins The mug
wumps OF Baltimore, the Indian COM
mission, and the religious associations
who are looking after the welfare of the
Indians, have all protested against the
confirmation of Thomas, and the object
OF Mr.. Dawes is to hold up the record OF
MIR. Thomas by the side of that of
Mr. Ward in order to show the hollow
ness of the administrations pretensions.
He has worded his resolution in an un-
usual and peculiar manner, appearing to
assume that there may have been docu-
ments referring to Mr.. Ward that may
not have been placed on file, or may
have been removed from the files. In
other words, Mr.. Dawes wants to cover
all the possibilities of the case. He has
carefully avoided any phraseology which
would lead TO the inference that he seeks
the reason of Mr.. Wards suspension.
He offers the resolution in open session,
and in other ways endeavors to avoid all
the points presented in the refusal of
the attorney general in the Duskin case.
Mr.. Dawes said today that he thought
MIR. Lamar would be able TO answer the
resolution without violating any OF the
proprieties or snrrendering any one of
the prerogatives of the executive branch
of the government. The senate had ad !.
yised and consented to the appointment
of Mr.. Ward, and had right to know
how he had behaved himself while in
Office. 1t felt fatherly interest in the
matter, and with bland smile Mr..
Dawes stated that the inquiry was not
made purely out of curiosity.

We may be, as Vest has said, be-

point to this fact with pride. In the
rush of immigration, in the hurry of set
tlement, in the hustle and confusion of

educational interests have received
their due attention by common consent
rather from any studied plan. These
school houses have been built upon the
prairies of Dakota before the green sod
of future grain fields had rotted, because
the people who turned this sod were &C.

Reservation.
Chicago Times, 4th: Gov. Pierce, of
Dakota, was IN the city yesterday on his
way from Washington, where he has
been for several days on official business.
The governor says that the prospects
Tor the admission of Dakota are far
more promising than he had reason to
believe before he reached Washington.
Senators Moody and Edgerton had
made very favorable impression both
on democrats and republicans, and their
speeches before the commlttee were
very well received. The proposition TO
divide the territory on the Missouri
river found number OF advocates, but
this division, the governor thought,
would be very unWise one. Ii the
proposition was made to admit the tor
ritory as whole, he thought there
would be no difficulty in having it
passed, but the representatives of the
southern section OF the territory would
not accept this. They would he
thought, prefer to remain as territory
rather than come in as one state. The
DIVISION on the forty-sixth parallel was
by far the best move that could be made.
and wonld probably be the eventual
decision arrived at. Montana was quiet
ly asking for admission, and he Thought
If the two territories could be admitted
at the same time great deal of the Oh.
iections at present urged wonld cease.
AS far ae the president himself was CON
cerned. Gov. Pierce said. there woula he
no onnogition TO any plan that looked to
an admission accoraIno to the w;shes of
the neople, Washington territory

that bill for the admission OF that

was concerned. his term

tion and leave the northern mart precise

During the past month paragraph
has been going the rounds charging
Delegate Clifford with aristocratic ten
dencies entirely foreign to his Dakota
teachings. We passed the slander by
unnoticed, feeling that time would
solve the mystery. The editor of the
Pierre Free Press, who is now in Wash
ington, gives the expected explanation
in the following words:
l see some kind of romance IN some
Dakota papers about Delegate Clifford
riding about in coach and four, liv-
cred servants etc. 1t is all bosh. He
took his family to the presidents recep-
ton on New Years day in fine car
riage, as he should have done, and some
newspaper correspondent thought to
make joke by enlarglng on
1t, but l see the story has
grown ont of all proportion
now. AS a matter of fact there is not
the least semblance of the aristocrat
about Mr.. Clifford, and there is no hard
er worker in congress. In this connec-
ton want to quote the words of a
democrat who has been an official of the
house of representatives for ten years,
while l was conversing with him the
other day. He said: II tell you Mr..
Clifford is the best man Dakota ever had
IN congress; he has solid business air
about him that carries weight with it;
he has the respect and confidence of
more members of congress than any
delegate ever had, even this early in his
offidial career, and will be able to accom-
plish more than any of then; he will
look after the interests of the poorest of
bis constituents as readily as those of
the most powerful; you people of Dako-
to should be proud of your representa-
tive"
