RICHARD FOOTE and his troupe had
sensational episodes in North Dakota,
but in the South they seem to have cap
tured the people everywhere.
The letter from Cavalier county illus
trates the surprising growth of some
sections of Dakota. Ten years ago
without white settler, it now has over
1000 inhabitants, and last year grew
1,l04,0 900 bushels of wheat.

FRANK PETTIGREw need not hesitate
to go on record as sizing up President
CLEVELAND as "a level-headed man."
1t is not new discovery.

The Chamberlain contributor has an
Observant and impartial eye, and does
not use coloring matter in his presenta-
ton of the features of the chief sections
of the territory. His views can be taken
as photographs.
The mOnotony of unanimlty in favor
of the opening of the Sioux reservation
is slightly fractured in the Mandan re-
gion. Ii the northern part of the reser-
walton is to continue as the corral of the
red folks, it furnishes no relief north
from undesired neighbors, and prevents
the settlement of the country by whites.
But, in the sentimental mood of the
country, the Indians can not be got out
OF the way Of somebody.

Should the reservation bill reported
by the committee in the house fail to
pass, it still will accomplish a great
work if it cOnvinces FRANK PETTIGREw
that there's God in Israel" There
is joy over one sinner turned" etc. j

From all the information Obtainable
the president has found a good man for
the Devils Lake land Office in E. G..
SPILMAN. His vouchers were of the
best. Mr.. SPII.MAN is young lawyer
OF good standing, and at present secre-
tary to the board of trustees of the
school of mines.
1t is proposed in Foster county to
make campaign against the gopher by
imposing tax of IS ON each quarter
section, to be paid in gOphers at five
cents head-money not accepted.

What if congress does insist on letting
in two or three smaller sisters with Da-
kOta-it will be no disadvantage to the
big territory-it won't be lost in the
crowd.
Gen. c. L. CAMPBELL, veteran of
the Mexican war, has engaged in the
newspaper business in YanktOn, and
will devote his time and energies to the
publication of the Investors Guide.

The fact presented by MCCLURE's
new work on THE Resources of Da-
kota," that in no month Of the year does
the weather average SO cold as in Min
nesota or New Hampshire, will surprise
a good many people. But the Obserya-
tons of the signal service stations ex-
tending back fifteen years attest this
claim. The yearly figures are as fol
lows: Dakota Az, Minnesota SO, and
New Hampshire 2612 degrees above
zero.
In view of the terrible cyclone in
Illinois, it is we'll to remember that the
investigation of the United States signal
service declares Dakota to be outside of
the cyclone belt. Bizzards can be
guarded against, but cyclones don't
give much chance.

There may be significance in the fact
that the Farmers alliance and the
Union Labor party have secured Hon.
JESSE HARPER, of Illinois, to make
numerous speeches in the territory
preparatory to the election. HARPER
belongs to the tariff school that does not
follow BLAINE, and is opposed to all
sorts Of mOnOpOlies. He is convincing
speaker, and has been making trouble
for the old politicians in Illinois many
years.
The report from jamestown that ex-
Gov. PIERCE is soon to resign the Sup
PIGMENT, and leave the field to Gen.
TYNER, meets the predict ton in these
columns. If he is to 60 to the senate
upon the admission of state, he will
need all his time to repair his fences,
which have become dilapidated during
his journalistic career.

Marshal MCCLURE, the newspaper
rustler, shows his faith in the
outcome of the young metropolis of
the far north by the issue of the
Morning Rustler, small but pithy, and
a credit to Minot, which is reaching
out for land Office.

The Vermillion Republican has
passed it's twenty-eighth birthday, and
completes with one of the Yankton
papers for the honor of being the Oldest
paper in Dakota. 1t has lost none of it's
VigOr by age.
Delegate CLIFFORD is reputed to have
abandoned all hope of division and adj
mission this year. His best course,
then, is to get out of the way of the one
state people and let them have the field.

According to the figures of the signal
service station on the Manitoba line of
Dakota, January was the coolest in fif-
teen years, and the lowest point touched
was 5319 below, and the highest velocity
of the wind fOrty-eight miles an hour.
These figures were badly beaten in some
of the states East.

The publication by the Bismarck
chamber of commerce, setting forth
points of interest relating to that coun-
try. is neat specimen Of Typography,
and unique and comprehensive. The
diagrams show that the CAPITAL of the
