The papers have nearly ceased to men,

In the opinion of the Pierre Signal,
within two years the position of parties
will be reversed on the division Ques
tion-the Democrats for division and
the Republicans for one state-on &C
count of the tariff. If Dakota should
elect Democrat for delegate this fall
the Republicans would be quite willing
to compromise on one state.

There are few papers in South
Dakota in advance of the season, who
urge that in place of the Declaration of
Independence there be read at the 4th
of July celebrations the crack-brain eff
fusion of the jamestown convention,
which everybody who can appreciate
the ridiculous is laughing at, and which
Judge MOODY and the more rational
members of the convention say was run
out by the boys not under local option
influences. Dakota has its full share of
crankS.

The Chicago & Northwestern has
adopted scheme, as stated, that should

who will put them out not more than
eighty rods from the track.

The Rapid City journal, in speaking
of the ''appeal to the American people,
constructed by the adOlescent Republi-
cans at Jamestown in blatherSkite rhet-
oric, say that, "after reading it, a sensi-
bic man of necessity thinks rats"
The Journal evidently does not regard
the combine as including sensible men.

The editorial conventions of both Da-
kota and Iowa are looking hopefully 20
tour to the Yellowstone park in con-
nectiOn with their summer meeting.
They will be fortunate if they can per-
suade the Northern Pacific that it
should improve the opportunity to elicit
the gratitude of the press embodied in
the most graceful rhetoric.

The local paper in Buford county in
dulges III eXtravagantly abusive denun-
citation of Gov. CHURCH for declining to
act upon the petition to organize that
county. If the governor had honest
doubts that the petition contained the
requisite number of bona fide citizens,
he did right to insist upon full compli-
ance with the law. Fraud and corrup-
ton, if not the rule, have been frequent
in the organization of counties under
his predecessors. Counties could be
named that were organized with less
population than the law requires voters,
and in some instances saddled with OPP
pressive debts by those not permanent
residents. If there are enough actual
settlers in that county to require its or
ganization, it will not be difficult to Oh
serve the provisions of the law.

Several justices offer to marry couples
without fee when the marriage was
brought on by the lady taking advantage
of leap year. Probably they are in col
fusion with bashful bachelors, who do
the fleeing.

Kicking is evidently laudable if the
Dakota papers are correct in stating
that the charge for hauling wheat 800
miles to st. Paul is 10 cents per hun
dred, while it is but ~ cents for the
412 miles to Chicago. The early notion
that eXtravagant rates should be had to
Dakota because it has a sparse popula-
ton, or is territory and has no rights,
shonld be extirpated from the railroad
mind.
The Aberdeen News, which is
friendly to CLIFFORD, denies that he
slept during the debate on Dakota mat
tiers in the senate. 1t says he was re-
clining upon the sofa with his eyes
shut in order to concentrate his mind.
But why did he snore?

of all the school officials in the several
towns are held to nominate candidate
county superintendent for the June
election. In an average county this
makes body of 100 or more, and is per-
haps as appropriate for this purpose as
any that can be held-certainly more so
than political convention, which the
Republicans insist upon in many coun-
ties. Fewer counties present lady can
didates than might be expected, al
though in nearly every instance where
they have held the Office they have
given good satisfaction.

The old-time politicians who were
crowded out at jamestown must take
great satisfaction in hearing the flip
pant youths of the combine speak of
them as ''old political tricksters who
should take back seats and give the
younger and more honest men chance
to shape the deStinieS of our great terri
tory, with higher grade of statesman
ship, something above the low trickery
of the ward politician, with which we
