DAKOTA NIPS.


The Woonsocket News has never been
a political friend or admirer of HUGH J.
CAMPBELL, but inclines to the belief
that it would pay the territory to send
him as delegate, just as real estate and
immigration advertising scheme. AS
between the present member and CAMP
BELL, it would be easy to make choice.

One prominent Dakota club man
claims to have paid about $50 for tickets
to let his friends into the convention at
Chicago, part of whom were Demo-
Gratis and officeholders. Editor FUTILE
says that except during the nominations,
tickets could be bought for all at 81, the
colOred delegates from the South being
the principal sellers. Nearly all the
DakOtians managed to get in, and they
do not admit that DEPEW or SHERMAN
contributed to meet their expenses.

In view of the defeat of two ladies by
one man, as superintendent of schools
in Burleigh county, Mrs. SLAUGHTER
comes into print with the imputation
that the linen of Burleigh are lacking
in the spirit Of chivalry and the element
of Difference to women that distin-
guiShed the pioneers" But the still
more potent influence for the man at
the polls was whisky given the voters.
The ladies evidently neglected to offset
it with coffee and doughnuts.

The court house officials in Edmunds
now take in from 1000 to 1,SOO gopher
tails per day, and the crop in the county
does not seem to diminish. In one
county the editor of the local paper has
experimental with blowing smoke into
the holes, and he reports the immediate
decease of all the occupants of these
cavities. He says a boy can in this way
free 100 acres of them in day.

The chinook or hot wind that came
through belt of Central Dakota last
week did some damage to wheat, but in
the hard wheat region there is very
little danger from any cause but hail.
and that takes but narrow streaks, sell
dom having much effect upon the aggre-
gate. If the producers can now count
on the 81 a bushel presaged by Col.
MORTON, of Fargo, they won't care
much whether SPRINGER is again
elected to congress or not.

The reservation act gives the Sioux a
freight wagon for each family, but
CHASKA and other duSky dudes insist
that that Is not the kind of vehicle they
need at all. Top buggies in the latest
style, with nickel-plated harness, would
suit them better. They are evidently
becoming too much civilized for use as
freaks in dime museums or to draw at
4th of July celebrations.

If it is true that EDISON has sue
ceeded in perfecting his photograph so
that it reproduceS the human voice in
full volume and tone, the Republican
| club committee might find it a matter of
| economy to procure one of them for
| each contested district in the country,
and charge it with few of PLUMBERS
red-hot speeches. Enclosed in a dunn
my of the orator, he could be multiplied
| indefinitely.

The Republican platform favors the
admission of the four territories named
the house bill. and Mr.. SPRINGER
and the Democrats are all in favor of
their admission. The only material
difference is that the Republicans want
to make two states out of Dakota, and
the Democrats think that one is enough.
What more is there to the issue?

The gathering of Republican club
magnates at Aberdeen this week was
not so much to participate in the ratifi-
cation of the Chicago ticket as to devise
ways and means for utilizing the vocal
and other talent at their command
Their immediate need is barrel labeled
anywhere from $4,000 up to the larger
figures, as the PLUMMERs, GUPTILLS
CAMpBELLs and other apostles of the
monopolistic faith will not travel with
out scrip in their purse. Dakota, witt
pathetic picturing, is to be walled al
over the doubtful states, especially il
the contested congressional districts
the red-hotteSt agony reserved for thu
Springfield district i'll Illinois. which
has persisted for good many years il
sending SPRINGER to congress. The
placid waters of the Sangamon and Tur
tie creeks will reyerberate with this Da
kota Naturalization, costing the man
agement from $50 down to soc speech
The concentrated and ferocious assault
on SPRINGER is due to the fact that h
is supposed to be the great obstacle t
division, and willing to admit only a
one state. The boys cannot be NOR
harmlessly employed than in his dis
trict.
A Chicago paper states that during
the convention prominent member o
the Republican League of Dakota, VIII,
: had imbibed to excess, made himsel
conspicuous by offering to sell mile
: age book over the New York Contra
; railroad. The party is understood to b
, one of the league orators who are t
work the Dakota question in the doubt
i | full states and districts. Mileage books
, are expected to be furnished them
This man was not so drunk as not to un
, derstand the situation.
