body, including the government and
poor LO, has had trouble by the dead
loads ever since. From Rose Bud the
reports that come in are entirely differ
ent, and it would look as though the
red mortals thereway are willing to
enjoy their seclusion yet awhile longer,
in direct opposition to the animus of
the Sioux bill. Pierre stands in the
position of kind of
RADIATING POINT
to all these different agencies, and is
situated to receive and digest all these
first reports as they come in. This
week trader at Fort Pierre returned
from visit to the Rose Bud and Pine
Ridge agencies, and the tale he tells is
bad, in the worst degree. He says the
Indians there have gone to the extent
of forming themselves in opposition to
the treaty, and have chosen a number
of their band to attend to the execution
of the first one of their number who puts
his fist to the bill. There is not man
in Pierre. and there are many of them
here who have had direct contact
with Indians Oh the frontier for
a score of years and understand
their nature to T, but that believes
that these matters will resolve them
selves Alright before it is ended, and the
Indians will see the error of their ways
sufficiently to induce President Cleve-
land to proclaim the Sioux Indian
reservation

he signed, and which he wisely consid-
cred to the best future advantage of our
nations wards in the West. The Indi-
ans will soon see the wisdom of their

the last legislature and candidate for
denomination, was backed by the banks
and the insurance company of this place,
upon which he seems to have some
sinch. l. n. Aud was the candidate of
the mugwump faction. A list of dele
dates which had been agreed upon be-
tween the two factions was kicked over
at the last minute, and solid Sullivan
delegation substituted. This so incensed
the opposition that they refused to go
into the caucus, and as a result, after
two hours hard work by the Sullivan
men, total of fifty-three votes were
pOlled. The extent of the detection
may be guessed when it is known that
at similar caucus two years ago 172
votes wore cast. 1t is believed that the
mugwumpS will either contest the seats
of the delegation chosen, or support
farmers and laboringmen's candidate.
Either plan means certain victory for
the Democratic legislative ticket in this
county. G. G. IOrns is talked of as

HURON, OAK, Aug. 3.-Within the
next two or three weeks Huron will be
able to boast of having trains Oh the
great Manitoba railroad running in and
out of the city. The work of ironing the
siXty-eight miles between WATERFOWL
and Huron has been completed to the
jim river, probably two miles from the
city. A large force of men are now en-
gagged erecting a bridge over the river,
and as soon as completed the track will
be extended to the depot grounds, and
and soon thereafter trains will be run
ming on schedule time. In view of the
opening of the Manitoba to freight and
passenger traffic it is but natural that
Huron, SO long with but one line, should
feel

And while cOngratulating herself on
the arrival of the Manitoba, she should

present growth and prosperity is largely
due to the pioneer railroad of this part
of Dakota, the Chicago & Northwestern.
Some of Huron's citizens and bust

and has always shown kindly DISPOSE
ton toward it. The company has
large interests here, and will let them
remain. The thousands of dollars in
cash paid out by the company to its en-
ployes in Huron, is no trifling consid-
Grafton. This money finds its way into
the tillS of Huron merchants-very lit
tie of it is sent out of the tOwn-and HUI
ron gets the benefit of the patronage of
the men who sell their time
to the Northwestern. 1t has been said
that when the Manitoba reached Huron
there would be brisk competition be-
tween it and the Northwestern, and to
some extent this is true. Huron mer-
chants and shippers, however, will not
be unreasonable and give all their bust
ness
TO ANY ONE ROAD:
they will not go back Oh the Northwest
ern, though the other roads may be IA
VOred with portion of their business.
There is certain to be strong competi-
ton for both received and forwarded
business, and this competition is appar-
ent. T. Dick Archer, the gentlemanly
agent of the Northwestern here, having
''an eye to business" has called
OH the business portion of the commu-
nifty and interviewed them on the SUBJ
ject OF giving the Northwestern por-
ton of their patronage. Dick is rus
tier and has many friends; if he doesn't
get his share of business it will be no
fault of his. The interests of the North
western will not suffer while he is the
agent in Huron.

WASHINGTON, Aug. -Notwithstand-
ing the fact that official statements have
been published in the GLOBE and other

rapid work of the general land office,
and the commendable manner in which
appealed cases are being disposed of,
the Supplement continues to spread the
old partisan lie that the settlers must
wait until doomSday for their final pa
pers; and all ON account of Democratic
inetficiency. The fellow whose imagina-
ton is winged and
FEATHERED WITH MENDAcITY
OF a sheolic pattern, seems impressed
with the belief that lie we'll stuck to,
is better than the truth. 1t may be. in
certain school of politics.; but when
news matter is given to the people, cam
dor and honor should dictate publica-
ton only of facts. 1t should not be left
to political rival to chase up and ex-
pose a campaign lie more than once.
The general land office is unquestiOn-
ably
THE HARDEST WORKING
and the most cOmmendable under the
government, at Washington. During
the year 1886 and part of 1885, the ap-
pointment Office of the postoffice depart
ment was the busiest hive. But
the 10000 fourth-class postoffices
have been filled, and only rou-
tine duty is done there. In
the general land Office the work is never
done. Gas and electric lights are used
by the Woodworking force of faithful
officials who are ambitious to clear their
office of the accumulations of the
PAST FIVE ADMINISTRATIONS.
The Republican management of the
general land office caused the accumu-
lationS which have clogged the wheels
during the present administration. The
workers, both Republican and Demo-
cratic, are entitled to praise and not
abuse for their activity and energy in
official life. The partisan Supplement
might learn wisdom of the fact that
some of the most capable and energetic
workers in that Office are held-over Re-
publicanS. Their work, at least should
not be sneered at by the newspaper
which teaches free trade and

from this standpoint that it is not fair
to befoul them all, of both parties, with
the sickly slime of diseased imagina-
ton. After conversation with some of
them-some of them from Minnesota.
too-this plea is written in behalf of the
Republican clerks in the general land
office. They ought not to be sneered
out of official position. They deserve
