DAKOTA NIPS.

DAKOTA NIPS.
The officers of the North Dakota
Agricultural society are reported trying
to secure SITTING BULL. GAUL, RAIN
IN-THE-FACE and other relics of savage
cruelty and barbarity to exhibit at the
fair to draw crowds. GAUL is specially
wanted, as he is the reputed slayer of
CUSTER. If these aborigineS could be
embalmed and shown as curiosities
there would be something fitting in it,
but it is revolving to see distinction
paid these fellows simply because they
are supposed to have murdered and
scalped white people.

In Pembina county the great day for
celebration is June "a, ST. JOINS day.
Among the incidents is to be car rep
reSenting G. G. discovering America,
with large military display, dancing,
etc., besides speeches. There is large
French population in that county.

The earnest PrOhibitioniStS who have
believed the professions of the Repub
licans that they would do their work
will observe how they are redeeming
their pledges at Sioux Falls, Fargo and
the other prominent towns in the terri
tory. To save the local option votes the
Republicans enact the law asked for,
but refuse to enforce it in order to save
the license vote. The ProhibitiOniStS
will note the response of the Chicago
convention also to the the demands of
the anti-saloon Republicans. If they do
not now push the Prohibition party to
the fore and rebuke the treachery shown
them they will exhibit little concern for
their arid dOgmas.

The first combination sale of thor
Oughbred stock under the auspices of
the Dakota Live Stock association, held
at Grand Forks the past week, was
quite a success and shows that the farm
ers are not content with common ami
mails, but mean to have the best breeds.
The growing anxiety as to what had
become of Dakota'S famous Oratorical
genius, Col. DOMAIN, was relieved at
Chicago. He sized up the Dakota con-
tingent and revived a section of his
good-hnmOred vituperation. 1t is not
reported just what effect was had by his
declaration that if BLAINE were nomi-
mated he would take the stump against
him. The colonel has never had faith
in the integrity of the Maine statesman.
While he was on the stump for the Re-
publican ticket four years ago he said
no word in commentator of BLAINE.
He admired and worked for LOGAN. 1t
would be interesting il the gallant sky
scraper could be pitted against PLUM
MER in the campaign.

AS CLIFFORD was away from Wash
ingtOn this week there was no trouble
in passing in the house a bill to give
North Dakota an additional judge. If he
will take another nap in the senate it
may go through that body also.

The Democrats of ABE BoYNToN's
city have set good example of party
unanimity by all uniting in the ratifica-
ton of the St. Louis ticket. 1t was an
old-time Democratic ovation.

Gov. PIERCE probably did give the
regular delegates some reason for their
kick by his alertness in reaching Chi
cagO and posing as the advance and con-
fdential agent of the delegation, using
the opportunity to SOW Dakota seed that
might fructify and bring him harvest.
The governor is ever ready to serve his
country where the forage can be utilized
for his political Silo. And that Bailey
boy from Sioux Falls" as the delegates
phraSed it, was among the earliest birds
looking for worms. He assumed also to
embody the sentiment of Dakota. He
was put on the delegation, said the Cas-
selton member, simply to pay the bills.
and ''now don't want me to sleep on the
lounge in the headquarters" Dakota
had plethora of great men at Chicago,
and they all wanted to be in the front
row.
All who know Bishop WALKER, the
popular and eloquent ecclesiastic of
North Dakota, and tallest man in the
business, takes pride in seeing him
liOniZed over the water as a representa-
tive OF the supposed penumbra of
American civilization. Last Sunday he
preached in st. Paul's cathedral, Lon
don, and caused some surprise at his
exhibition of scnolary culture. He will
show up the peer of pretty handsome
type of the old world divine.

The case of young GETTY, in Coding-
ton county, is full of monition to par
ents. He worked for his father faith
fully, and although he was eighteen
years of age, his father would not fur
| nsh him a suit of clothes fit to wear to
Sunday school with the other boys. In
consequence he took a rope and hanged
himself till dead. No similar instance
has ever been reported out of Dakota,
but parents in that territory should
profit by the incident. No doubt there
are other precociously good sons of
good men. The bad boy would have
snapped the rope for fish-hooks and
been content to spend the day fishing in
his old clothes.

This remark of one of the delegates to
Chicago is generally credited to PLUM
MER, as he is believed to be the only one
of the number who uses profanity, al
| though HUBBARD thinks strongly in
that direction when thoughts of Ed
WARDS and the old gang come in his
mind: lit strikes me that GIL PIERCE
has bitten off little more than he can
| chew if he thinks he can run Dakota
