TIL. Boston Herald thinks Ham
burg lbutlerls proposition to admit
Dakota us one state. with the prlNl-
lege granted in the act of dividing it,
afterwards. so as to make more states,
if the people Shall So signify their
wishes. is altogether reasonable. if
that is reasonable why is it not real
sonable to divide it now! The PEG.
pie have already voted on the qles-
1iun and have decided it as much aS
they ever can. What is the use of
another election! Batter insults the
people of Dakota by implying that
they did not know what they wanted
when they voted Oh division last fall.
The Herald is not honest in its allro-
val of IL plan which has already been
tried and resulted in Il clear and de-
cisive verdict. which the Democracy
refuses TO accept. This is worse than

the last three days. In Il very few days
more it will cease TO i~ Il secret tia:
Blaine is in the hands Ut his friends. MS
the Blaine leaders will at once come To-
the front and make an aggressive cam
paigu for his denomination. The unex-
pected ext ~rcssior in Massachusetts and
Vermont for Blaine were not accidental,
nor are they unexpected to Mr..
Bluine's friends. When all of the
anti-Blainc men were posing on their
arms because they regarded Blaine rs
ont of the fight. the friends Of Blaine
were most energetic IN their work in
the two anti-Blaine New England
states, and they got Possession Of Yer
mont and Massachusetts while the others
were sleeping in fancied security. /,
was the expression of three hitherto
anti-Blnine New England states that
made Blaine cast aside his doubt aud
assent TO the opportunities Of his fricnEs
for his denomination. 1t is now Il posi-
tive fact that Blaine is in the field; that
his friends have his assent L" Il move
ment in his favor, md that he will be
nominated at Chicago If hard work and

The Dakota Agricultural College and

Great benefits are to result To the
people of Dakota from the work and
experiments to be made at the agri-
cultural college. From IL report We
find the following experiments, the
result If which will be watched with
interest. are to he tried:
In Horticulture we have already
secured scions of seventy varieties of
Russian apples. and are promised am
other collection of greater numbers.
These will he grated in April, An
extensive correspondence. covering
the entire northwest. has been car.
ried on during the winter and the
present status of apple culture has
thus been pretty clearly ascertained.
1t would seem wise to test with equal
care, the Russians and the many seed
li,lgs which our enterprising fruit
men are introducing. We have sc.
cured a number of seedlings direct
from the originators, and shall give
them careful attention. An orchard,
including the entire list recommends
ed by the horticultural Society will
be planted, together with other APP.
piles and crabs, recommended by
prominent fruit men.
AS complete Il list of plums of the
Northern type as can be secured, will
be set i'll orchard this spring. 1t is
yet too early to begin with native
sorts, but we hope to give the native
plum due attention another season.
In small fruits, plantations of stan.
dard varieties, sufficient to supply our
boarding clubs, will be planted. and
in addition large lists of the most
promising new sorts will be secured
The vegetable garden will serve
both as a test of relative values and
as a means Of supplying the boarding
clubs with fresh garden products
throughout the season. To do this
from four to many varieties Of eacl
vegetable, will lie planted and a record
kept Of yield, quality. etc. An expc
rimentt, to determine the most yalua
BILE tomato for Dakota will be tn.
leading feature of garden work.
Owing to many pressing lines O
work little will be attempted this
season i'll the way Of ornamental,
plants and shrubs.
III botanical research, we hope t.
make a collection of the Dakota
grasses, and in connection with the
Department of Agriculture. to assis'
in determining something of theil
economic value, and of the usefulness
of various cultivated grasses.
Should the work of the Department
progress fayorably as planned, bulle
