landlord is hopefully afflicted with an in

fidently predicted.

The people of Dakota are quite salts
fled with the turn of affairs that has
given them Secretary Villas and Com
missioner STOCKsLAGER in positions
that specially interest them. They are
both classed as friends of the settlers,
who regard the evidence of good faith
as worth considering in the interpreta-
ton of the land laws.

The New York Tribune has never
published an article that reached so
many people through the local press as
the one commencing, ''DakOta is entl-
tied to shy stone at us in friendly
way, for New York and the East gener-
ally having been shying stones at Da-
kota for long time" The big-hearted
Samaritan refuses to throw stones back,
but sends ointment and bandages for
the bruised and bread for the suffering.

Chief Justice WAITE was in Dakota
two years ago, and visited some of the
Indian agencies near Bismarck. Judge
FRANCIS adjourned court out of respect
to his memory.
1t is surmised that there is trouble
ahead for some of the earlier statesmen
in the reopening of the old Douglas
county scandals of six or seven years
ago. A syndicate engineered by man
named BROWN foated out a vast
amount of spurious school bonds.
If, as alleged, the Northern Pacific
Elevator company, with its sixty-fve
elevators, is able to make annual divi-
dends of 40 to 45 per cent upon the
capital invested, it is not surprising that
the farmers of the alliance should be
combining to operate system of their
own. The eagerness of the elevator
company to occupy every new point
would indicate the possession of
bonanza.
The first installment of the large mi
grafton booked for the New England
colony, in Hettinger county, is expected
to arrive about April 10. The late
storms are having an effect in New
England.
A circular has been received, signed
by Rev. WILLIAM BRUSH, president of
the institution, making very urgent APP
peal to the churches and benevolent
people for assistance to rebuild the
burned college at Mitchell. 1t was the
leading Methodist educational influence
i'll the territory, and was rich in promise
but poor in insurance policies. 1t is
hoped there will be generous response
to the appeal. All remittances should
be sent to r. N. KRAFT, treasurer Dakota
university, Mitchell, Oak.

1t requires three columns for the Sioux
Falls Press to convince itself of the neg
alive of the query, ''Are we state, or
can one exist outside of the Union?" A
good many people knew before that it
couldn't be done.

Z. WILLIAMS, who was at one time a
big enough Republican to send to con-
gress from Wisconsin, in a speech be-
fore Republican club being organized
at Watertown, under the GUPTILL inspi-
ration, said he understood that it was the
purpose of these local clubs in Dakota
to cheer and aid Mr.. Cox and his follow
ers in every way possible. That is
rather novel mission for Republican
clubs-tO aid Democrats.

1t requires great amount of space in
Republican papers to convince them
selves that the Prohibition party re-
Gently organized is too insignificant for
notice. They insist that the Republi-
can party is the only force that can
wreck the beer barrels, and hold out the
delusive hope that the national Repub-
lican convention will climb upon the
Prohibition platform.

An extensive wheat grower in the
Red river valley, who has just returned
from visit to California, states that the
manufacturers of the harvesters which
are used so successfully in that state
propose to bring one to the hard wheat
region, as an experiment, the coming
summer. He says that it cuts, threshes
and sacks forty acres of wheat day,
with five or six men and about twenty
horses. 1t enables the wheat grower to
harvest and thresh his crop at about 50
an acre. 1t is not certain that it will
answer in Dakota, but if it should it
will save much of the cost of harvest to
the farmers. 1t is an expensive ma
chine, costing $1,000.

The special spring edition of the
Mitchell Republican is comprehensive
and well-prepared exhibit of one of the
best young cities of the South.

South Dakota has had the delegate
now for two terms, and if sectional dis
tinctions have weight, Gen. ALLEN
should have good show, provided the
North STANDS Denlnd him pretty SOlldly,
but harmony among the political cap
tains of that region has not been con-
spicu0uS of late.

The Lead City Herald alleges that the
effort to secure the Republican conven-
ton in the Black Hills was an ALLEN
movement. If so, his race should be
discounted few laps.

Probably all the larger cities will join
in with the Republicans of Grand Forks
in amending the local option law so that
cities of over 5000 population can have
the option and not be outvoted by the
country vote.
