was spoken of unkindly as scoundrel
and trafficker in public opportunities;
the good PIERCE was said to be for sale to
the highest bidder-and there are those
who even impute sinuositieS to the sue
cesSOr of Mr.. PIERCE-but it would not
be hard to prove from Republican
papers that CHURCH is a much more
creditable executive than those of his
predecessors who are generally remem-
bered.
Grand Forks kindly remembers the
favorS shown its institutions by Gov.
PIERCE, and will compliment him with
its votes for eongress-and they don't
like to take the Fargo man. GROVER,
the editor of the Prohibition organ and
head of that persuasion, says his party
will nominate candidate for congress
and has not fixed upon the man. Why
not take PIERCE

The farmers convention to be held at
Fargo next week seems to be move i'll
the direction that will profit the growers
of hard wheat. 1t is proposed to devise
measures by which their product will
not be put upon the market until it is
wanted. The grain is to be kept in
granaries until the flour makers want it
and will pay what it is worth. 1t is be-
lieved that from to s cents bushel
more will be realized in this way.

When Mr.. DAY reached Rapid City
the first of the week, to make it his
future home, the citizens welcomed him
with banquet. Mr.. DAY responded
very neatly, fattering the city as his
choice of all Black Hills towns, but did
not have a word to say about Gov.
CHURCH.
Parties at Redfield feel aggrieved over
the statement that Sphinx county sent
five postmasters to the DAY convention
at Watertown. They insist that but
three of the delegates wear that official
title-one does not attend to the duties
of the office personally, the second has
other business mainly, and the third is
too small p. m. to count. Perhaps if
they had been in the other convention
their official station would have higher
estimate.
Fl. L. NANCY was in st. Paul yester-
day in the interest of the great musical
festival to be held in Fargo the last week
in June. 1t is the first thing of the
kind on so extensive a scale ever at
tempted in Dakota, and promises to eX-
cite quite a Juror. There are to be
some 400 participants from Fargo and
North Dakota towns, with musicians
from st. Paul and Minneapolis. Prof
NANCY has been prominent in several
very successful musical entertainments
at Fargo, and his only failure has been
to induce a reform council to join in his
chorus.
Fargo is considerably stirred over the
breaks in the regular trade caused by
the sending of damaged goods there to
be sold at low prices. 1t is proposed to
put stop to the irregular racket by
ordinance.
The GLOBE is indebted to Hon. MEL
YIN GRIGSBY, OF Sioux Falls, for copy
of his new book, The Smoked Yank."
which has been noticed so favOrably by
the correspondents at Sioux Falls. AS
its title indicates, the book is a narrative
of the experience of the writer in the
war, in which he took in AndersOnville
and other such places, and the story is
told in lively and entertaining man.

the future historian, and evidently
merits the commentator given it.

One of the local papers of that section
states that the stock region of Western
Dakota is greatly infested with wolves,
| the losses being greater from them than
from the severity of the winter. One
man counted thirty-siX of the lupine
marauders i'll half days ride over the
Yellowstone plateau. They attack young
colts and calves most freely.
