way to put to the front all the ambitious
statesmen who have the means to make
the trip to Chicago. 1t is a good chance
to advertise the territory, and there is
no reason that all who want to should
not go and foot the Dakota trumpet
They will hardly be allowed more than
the two votes, however.

Old residents figure that this back
ward season is a duplicate of 1882, which
was big wheat year. This Especially
the case on the Missouri slope, where
there can hardly be too much rain or
cool spring weather. They look for the
biggest crop there ever grown.

The Wahpeton Globe alludes to one of
the most noted clergy of that city in this
rather alliterative language: ''He is an
ugly, unclean, unkempt, ungodly, I'M
manly, untruthful, INSCRIPTIONS man."
IN his reply the preacher did not en-
ploy mere negatives.

The Republicans of Bismarck certain
ly created something of a sensation by
their somersault to the division side.
They do not get credit for honest con-
version, even among tie diviSionists, as
their views are always credited to capt.
tai Interests, but curiosity is excited as
to the phase OF the situation presented
to the Bismarck mind to induce this
new departure. The nominal purpose
seems to be to curry favor with the di-
visionists for the Bismarck candidate
for congress, but the schemers of that
place are credited with an object more
obese with possible results.

Effort is being made to give life to the
Old project to build railroad from
Mandan south to the Black Hills.
Money has been raised for survey, and
the character of the route will be deter
mined. This will not probably interfere
with the road from the Dickinson region
on the west of the Hills. AS they will
have big territory between them, there
may be room for both-and neither will
be built too soon.

One charge against the so-called
CHURCH convention at WATERFOWL was
that it consisted mainly of officeholders,
leaving the impression that the DAY
body was exempt from this class of peo-
pie. This does not seem to be quite the
fact. 1t is stated by the local paper that
out of the seven delegates from SPHINX
county to the DAY convention five were
postmasters who owe their positions to
Mr.. DAY, and this class of functiOnaries
were found in other delegations. There
seems to have been no objection to their
services on that side.

Why the Republican wirepullers at
Bismarck sprung G. B. LITTLE all at
once as a candidate for congress is
matter of conjecture. None conjecture
that there is any expectation of his NOM
nation. The general guess is that it is
mainly to insure the defeat of ALLEN
by dividing the Northern vote. His
strength, if he has any, is attributed to
his Intimate relations to Gov. PIERCE
insuring all the influence of the latter,
which is not very great.

1t is not good time for Dakota peo-
pie to be talking much about carpet
baggerS. The term may not mean
much as used, but as no definition goes
with it, many in the states, who are COM
ing out with grips i'll hand to look over
the country for investment, may get I'M
desirable impressions. About the only
residents who have not been carpet
baggerS are the Indians, and there is no
desire to check the incoming of this
persuasion. The politicians mean by
the term only the fellows who came to
the territory with commissions in their
pockets. About the only ones of this
class now holding office are Gov.
CHURCH., judge or two, and two or
three land officerS-and CHURCH is the
only one over whom there is any kick,
ltwould be better to go for him on some
other ground than carpet-baggism, as
he proposes to be permanent resident.

If they had been local option towns,
Bismarck and Yankton would have
been the favorites, no doubt. Neither
party seems to like to try the expert
ment of holding convention in dry
town.
Fargo has one or two breweries in act
i've operation, but cannot sell to resi-
dents. Citizens who want kegs delivered
at their houses order by telephone from
the sales depot over the river, and beer
wagons are driven from the brewery
over one bridge and back over the other
to deliver to residents. The beer is con-
sumed as tiuidly as ever.

Neither Of the conventions at Water
town made any mention of division or
admission. They had division of their
own enough to engrOss their attention,
probably.
The excellent Northwestern Farmer

self in its double issue for this month.
