St. Paul daily globe., 1888-07-28

The paper parades the resultin such
headlines as "The LA INQUIRE troops
fire upon Fort MEGQUIER, but bomb
from the fort suddenly bursts in their
midst, causing serious loss of hope,
prospect and aims"

Col. PLUbIMER must be awarded the
credit of frankness and eXplicitneSs in
his expressions of opinion of prominent
members of his political household. He
dubbed Senator-elect MOODY as judi
cial ass-why judicial, by the way?-and
now he speaks of the noted Republican
politician who has acted as the division
committeeman at Aberdeen as man
''who is universally hated and despised
by all decent people-a man who does
not possess single redeeming qualify"
The colonel seems to have been unfort-
innate in many of his associates since he
performed his last acrobatic diversion.

The territory is fortunate in securing
so capable and estimable couple as
MIR. and Mrs. c. w. AINswoRTH to take
charge of the reform school at Plankin-
eOAA hOh Sl1 iu5 pOyo lllo Slllo. IiiSy
have had extended experience in similar
work in the states, and it is believed
that under their management the school
will do credit to them and the territory.
1t is to be open for the reception of the
Juvenile offenders about the first of
September. The location is twenty-five
miles west of Mitchell.

1t is very rare that any of the base
ball clubs in the territory play on Sun
day, except in a few counties in the
more remote regions. But the rule was
recently broken, as well as the day, at
the sedate college town of Groton-
not, however, without opposition. The
mayor visited the ground and requested
the clubs to cease playing on account of
the day, but they would not heed his
admonition, and the next morning he
had them arrested. Three pleaded guilty
and paid their fines, but the others went
to trial and were found not guilty by the
jury on the ground that they did not
play well enough to violate the law or
break the Sabbath.

There is disposition to introduce the
matrimonial feature of the Minneapolis
exposition at the various fairs and har-
vest home festivals this year, with some
enlargement of the plan. 1t is proposed
to secure the attendance of young ladies
from the East who are disposed to ac-
cept Dakota husbands. OF course prizes
Will be a feature.

Cass is the largest of the organized
counties OF the territory, and has usually
taken the lead in wheat production.
1t has the largest farms and probably
the largest man, certainly the heaviest
editor, in the territory. He is in the
held as candidate for the upper branch
OF the legislature, and is stirring up the
biggest local fight ever seen in that
neck OF woods. Most of the editorial
columns of the Argus are devoted to
his cause, and that sheet evidently be-
lieves i'll him. 1t believes in his ability
to get the Republican nomination, for
it leaves no possible chance to bolt in
case of defeat. The other papers try
not to mention his candidacy, for fear
OF advertising the matter, but can't
quite keep mum. His nomination will
split the Republicans of that county
wide open, and if the Democrats have
conference and nerve enough to pick up
good thing in reach, they might march
through the chaSm between the bloody
factions and knock the perSimmons, so to
speak. There is danger, however, of
their being drawn into this Republican
fight, and dividing up about as the Re-
publicans will. This has been the way
before, and it will be hard for them to
keep out now.
Traill county is one of the six in the
Red river valley famous for wheat, but
the figures of the assessment just taken
show that there is no intention to rely
upon that product alone for future
prosperity. The county has been settled
only about ten years, and yet it has
nearly million dollars invested in
horses and mules. 1t is also making
beginning with cattle and sheep, hav-
ing 10000 head. Nearly all the animals
are of the better breeds, as is coming to
be the case quite generally in the terri
tory.

1t is alleged that a man-prObably not
a professional reporter-slept with
Judge PALMER two nights and was un-
able to find out whether the Judge was
candidate for delegate or not. Pos
sibly the judge did not possess that in
formation himself. If he knew where
his supporters were he could easily
solve the enigma.
One of the first things the New York
colony in Kldder established after
getting in their crop was brass band.
1t will strike the Eastern traveller as
novel sound as he hears the martial
strains among the scattered cabins and
prairie dogs.
The effort to find coal in the shaft at
Huron has some hitch. A new hole is
to be drilled quarter of mile distant.
There is a praiseworthy determination
to make thorough work of the test.

Foresight being less reliable than
hindSight. the removal of buildings is
an extensive business in some Dakota
towns. OftentlmeS town is built in
advance of a railroad, and as the road
won't come to it. the town must go to the
railroad. At the town of Howell, in the
north part of Hand county, big hotel
was erected, but the railroad didn't
come, and so the structure is to be
moved to Lawrence and made into
dwelling houses. Last week a large
two-story dwelling was hauled twenty
five miles, from Ipswich to Aberdeen,
by twenty horses.
