M. T. DE Woody, of Edmunds
! county, noted member of the last
legislature, has been married Eve years
and has four blooming daughters. The
county is proud of him. and wants him
to 60 back to the legislature.

| In view of the frightful storms East
| and their devastations, there will, no
doubt, be an unusual disposition to MI
CRATE to the more salubriOus and fortu-
nate climate of Dakota, and special
effort should be made to induce the rail-
roads to make very low excursion rates,
as many who desire to come have scanty
| means.
Col. PLUAiMER, ''the silver-tongued
orator of Dakota" is delivering new
$50 lecture, entitled "Paternal Govern
ment," and rather unfriendly to it..
His S75 campaign effort later will sup
port the paternal, protective tariff,
trust party. The colonePs efforts al
ways have silvery recompense.

The control of the offices in Dakota is
called by the Fargo Argus battling for
Dakota's rights"
The friends of Dakota should not
rest until they secure the passage OF
some bill in the house for admission.
Let the issue be made up and the re-
sponsibility thrown upon the senate OF
| defeating action.

So far as the unaided vision can take
in the field, the response to Gen. CAMP
BELLS last prOnunciamentO is not OF
the kind likely to encourage him.

Ex-Auditor CALDWELL gracefully
| genufects before the ''still, small voice"
calling him into the field to rustic for
congressional honors. He would be too
happy-but the vocal information does
not suggest to him fruition. He sayshe
has no barrel-still, if the Office is hunt
ing for modest worth, his door will be
| open.
The collector of customs in BOttineau
reports that ninety-four heads of fami-
lies moved over from Canada to that
county the past year, and the American
consul at Toronto states that 600 came
to the United States from that section.
This is significant in view of the efforts
to stop migration to the states.

sentiment on the tariff question. in the
conclusion that the protection is to the
protected monopolies and trusts, and
the additional burden in increased price
of commodities is upon the people"
Under new law Dakota teachers are
now required to instructin the effects
of narcotics, and the prediction is made
in some of the papers that the nextre-
form cyclone will swoop down upon The
tobacco shops. If it would stop al
cigarettes, cabbage leaf and onions
there would be still comfort in living.

The Chicago firm of RAND, MCNALL1
& Co. have lately issued county and
township pocket map and shippers guide
of Dakota" thatis rayaged by the critica
papers on the ground that its data are
about all eight years old. The popula
ton of most of the towns is taken from
the census of 1880. No town in the ter
ritory at that date had 5000 population
and such cities as Huron, Aberdeen
Milbank and DEVILS Lake were no
known even to the town site specu
lators. A map eight years old for Da
kota is an absurdity, except for histo
rianS.
There seems to be an awakening of in
terest in forestry and identifying home.
with shrubbery. There cannot be toe
much attention to this matter.
No Dakotian who knows Col. DOMAIN
personally ever thinks of getting out of
humor, however much his lurid rhetoric
may rattle about. In fact, they enjoy
this sort of an experience. One of his
latest interviews on Dakota matters. at
Washington concludes with this:
"When they feel the need of congress
sional aid or interference they will send
representatives here who will not he q
stencil in all decent nostrils. [ am q
Dakotian myself; have done as much
for the territory, and in the territory, as
any man who ever lived in it; [ expect
to make my home permanently within
its borders; l am interested in every
thing that concerns it, and see no rea.
son why congress should be in hurry
to promote the schemes and jobs of the
horde of political ragamuffins and scrap
snatchers who have so long brought dis
grace upon Dakota and all Dakotians.',

I WALDO NJ. POTTER, the erst cotenl-
pOrary of HORACE GREELEY, RAY
MoND and WEED in New York, now
easily wears the honor of the Nestor of
Dakota journalism, He is man of in
tense convictions-too sincere and per.
pendieular for the political fellowship
he is forced to Share-and, if he could
forget more, would find it much more
comfortable to get along with modern
people and things. Still, Dakota can
give him an ear occasionally with much
profit.
This is translated from recent Paris
paper:
Reliable accounts are received concerning
the appearance at st. Louis, the capital OF
Dakota, of new and terrible epidemic called
the blizzard. Hundreds OF people are dying
| of this fearful visitation, which thus far
battles the skill of the physicians of that
country. 1t is thought that st. Louis will be
entirely depopulated. The epidemic also at
tacks animals with universally fatal results.

An Aberdeen writer may infer that
the GLOBE has no disposition to con-
tribute to the expansion of the "bloody
