DAKOTA NIPS.

DAKOTA NIPS.
The Canton News, home organ of
Judge CLIFFORD, has not put up the
name of the gentleman nominated at
Watertown, and has nothing to say.
Probably it will drop into line when the
sore spots have time to heal.

1t is stated that farmer at HillsbOro,
In Trail county, has been offered $1,000
for his 5000 bushels of last years wheat
all No. hard, of course. He was one
of not very great number who were
able to hold their crops. Whether the
farmer should continue to hold on to his
wheat after prices have reached robust
figures, is question that he alone has
right to solve. The popular theory
just now. especially among those who
are cultivating the graces of the farmer,
is that by holding the wheat big prices
are bound to come. This may prove to
be the case this year, but some farmers
in Illinois give it as the result of twenty
years experience that they averaged
better by marketing their wheat early
than those did who held it over the
winter for larger figures. But the ma
jOrity of the Dakota farmers will not
have an option in the matter this year.

The Democratic paper at HillsbOro
last week attempted to read BUDD
Of I,o II ,.fx .fnY.
same reason not quite understood.
BUDD evidently has not perceived that
he is out, for in an interview with
another paper he says: ''It is not the
scarcity of wheat but the tariff princi-
pie of Democracy which is giving us
good prices" That ought to be a
voucher for his party loyalty. But
BUDD is favored this season, as he says
every bushel on his Buxton farm will
go No. hard wheat, with fair grades
on most of his other farms. He ought
TO be good Democrat.

Some of the CAMPBELL persuasion
are disturbing their minds with the i'm
preston that the combination of the
two sectiOnS-the Center and North
that voted against division means that
after election the single state will be in
the saddle again. They find cause of
diSquietude not so much in the nominal
ton as in the composition of the gen.
eral committee. Dakota politics are
peculiar, anyway.
fria Of
to be the only paper in the territory
that gives place TO the call for cOnven-
ton to nominate North Dakota candi-
date for delegate. 1t Is an anonymous
call, and apparently has no indOrsers.
There is no sectional feeling in the
North that is likely to find vent in this
way. The oStenSi0le call is probably
piece of pleasantly by some facetious
parties, and there are such about the
Grand Forks office. 1t may be set down
as quite certain that the North will not
hold convention under this call, and
that no new candidate Will be placed in
the field.
The older residents of the prairieS
will hardly need word of caution to
provide against the fires that sweep
through the dry grass and often are so
destructive. The season gives indica-
tiOns of being quite dry, and fires are
already reported further west. tits not
often, and only in high wind, that the
flames are carried over such frebreaks
as can be conveniently provided, and it

peril is well guarded against.

The rejection of President LOUCKs in
the Minneapolis chamber of commerce
will not lose the Dakota alliance any
portion of its strength among the PEG
pie. 1t will add to the confidence felt
in Mr.. LeUCKS measure of sympathy.
He stands as the exponent of the al
lance and farmer interest, and his re-
lection will be viewed as an attempt to
give the organization black eye Mr..
LoUCKs is the chief officer of a system
that proposes to handle the grain of the
farmers so that they will realize the
proper value Of their products. This
purpose does not naturally elicit the APP
proval and cooperation of the elevator
men; hence they seek to thwart and
embarraSs by denial of the facilities
of the commercial board of Minneapo-
lis. But il will serve as a first-claSS adj
vertisement of the new movement. and
90 far to commend it to the patronage
of the wheat growers. 1t is likely to
have its hands full to meet the business
that will come to it at the expense of
the monopoly system.

When Maj. EDWARDS, the noted
heavyweight of the Fargo Argus, threw
his crushing avoirdupOis into the breach
for the upper branch of the legislature,
he became the central figure in the
fight-one about which everything else
should revolve. He rallied and in
spired his clans, and audaciOusly seized
the Republican machine. The NOM
mating convention was secured, at the
expense of a good deal of fiction and
the retreat of the hostile elements. All
| its work was to pad around the central
figure. Discipline has been enforced
| by the guillotine. The recalcitrant
| elements combined with the Democrats
and some farmers in a mosaic COM
position. and the lines were drawn on

i'm the absence of GEN. ALLEN at Co

busy collecting the assessments for the
political missionaries to be sent East,
! the anti-EDwARDs faction capture the
Republican league club, and light a
new firebrand by resolving that the
regular convention was controlled by
fraud, and the club will not indorse the
