BISMARCK, Dak.. July 20.-The cam
paign in Dakota will soon be opened
The Democrats have held their conven-
ton and made their nomination of a
candidate for congress. it is generally
believed that campaign can not be
opened until both candidates are in the
field, but III this instance the PERSONAL
ity of the opposing candidate is of small
moment. IL makes no difference. The
great issue of tariff reform can not be
obscured. The fact that the Demo-
cratic party of the great territory of
Dakota has been true to its national
platform by nominating a man fully
identified with the
AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS
of the territory cannot be erased from
the public mind by any future cOnven-
ton twaddle.s The Democrats of the
territory have been bold and manly
They held an early convention. adopted
a strong tariff reform platform, de-
manded legislation in favor of the agri-
cultural classes, and, instead of follow
ing the usual course and nominating a
political hack, they selected man
whose political career and associations
are in harmony with that platform. Mr..
j. W. Harden. the candidate for con-
gresS, is a member of the Farmers alli-
ance and lifelong Democrat. He has
been conscientious champion of the
farmers rights for years. His nomina-
ton was requested and urged by the
members of the alliance, and, true to its
platform and declaration of principles,
the Democratic party accepted him
cheerfully, gladly, hopefully and with
enthusiasm.
So, l say, what the Republicans may
do at their convention in Watertown
makes no difference with the opening
of the campaign. 1t has already been
opened by the Democrats

Special TO the Globe.
RAPID CITY, July 2O.-NeXt week
court will set at Hot Springs, in Fall
River county, the judge needing a few
days of rest before tackling the big
docket that waits for him at Deadwood.
Custer county is to be put off without a
term. There are two interesting cases
over there. One is that of Roridan, who
shot Trubb at Fairburn station last Jan
uary, in quarrel over the possession of
a ranch, ostensibly, although there is
A ROMANTIC STORY
back of that. 1t concerns love borne
by Grubb for his slayer's sister, and the
murdered mans jealousy of a third
rancher, who, thus far, has not figured
in the case, but will appear in the trial.
The theory of the defense is that the
shooting was done in self-defense-
hardly tenab!e, for, although Grubb
fired first, he was running away when
Roridan shot him first, and was lying
face down on the opposite side of fence
when killed. The other case will excite
more interest than this, probably, as it
concerns the killing of StanSbury, Ar
thur and Frank Potts by citizens of Buff
falo Gap last spring. The dead men
were cowboys, and were engaged in an
attempt
TO RUN THE TOWN.
They partly succeeded in this, but
were finally brought to stand by a
posse of citizens, and in the fight that
followed both were shot dead. Their
old associates on the range have de-
termined to legally avenge them if possi-
BILE, and have raised purse of $500 to
push the prosecution. Three men are
under arrest, charged with the killing.
1t is not thought by anybody
BUT THE COWBOYS
that conviction will be attained, and
the chances are that all that will come
of the case will be fat fees for lawyers.
Politics are abnormally quiet here,
but storm is looked for soon, as pre-
paratiOns for the general election, some
three months hence, are being quietly
made.

RAPID CITY, Dak., July 20.-A new
lease OF life has been granted the tin
enthusiasts. For some months tin has
lain dormant, and but few des sultory
slumbering interest in this resource.
But this week the town has been full of
tin miners, wearing
CAMPAIGN PLUG HATS
and obtaining every day satisfaction
from the various liquid refreshments
furnished here, and seeking pleasure
in all the varied forms offered in a
frontier town. For on Monday some
$50, 900 in cash was paid out to about a
dozen of these genial souls, being the
purchase money for some very promis-
ing tin property, now owned by the
Harney Peak Tin Mining company.
This ripple enlivened tin matters
greatly, for it had shortly before been
rumored that the Harvey company had
successfully closed the
BIG ENGLISH DEAL
that has so long been pending-almOst
two years nOw-and that active mining
operations would be commenced at once
in the region around Hill City. This,
of course, is welcome news here, but
will it pan like it prospects? is ques-
ton to which cautious ones shrug their
shoulders and answer "Quien sabe?"
At the school of mines many tons of
the rock are being crushed and concen-
trated in making test runs. and now a

camille article. This will only be for
the benefit of those who desire actual
knowledge of the value of their ore.

Officials Again.
Special to the Globe.
YANKToN, July 2O.-Another source
of discord in the county, and one that
promises some fun this fall, is the pro-
hibitlon question. Dakota has local op-
ton, and the Prohibitionists of this
county last year, under this law, sought
to have the question submitted to a vote.
TO do this it was necessary for One-third
of the people who had voted at
the last election to petition the county
board for an election. This they claim
was done, but by some technicalty or
ledgerdemain the board, which is Re-
publican, refused to grant an election.
Now new petition, bearing more than
the requisite number of names, is pend
ing before the board, and the question
will likely be submitted, and, while the
proposition will be lost, yet the contest
is going to be an earnest one, and in it,
some how, very promising statesmen
are liable to be badly disfgured.

Special to the Globe.
YANKToN, July 2O.-By the way, there
is phase of this prohibition question in
Dakota that Democrats in the states
might use to advantage. The Chicago
convention resolved that ''South Dakota
should of right be Immediately admitted
as state i'll the Union. under the con-
stitutiOn framed and adopted by her
people," This is the Sioux Falls con-
stitution, adopted in November, 1885,
and under
WHICH GENERAL HARRISON,
as chairman of the committee on terri
tories in the senate, reported bill for
the admission of South Dakota, which
was passed by the senate, Harrison urg-
ing its passage in an elaborate speech in
the senate, January q, 1886.
In this constitution your correspond
ent finds the following article:
ARTICLE XXIv-PIoHIBITIoN.
To be submitted to a separate vote as pro-
vided by the schedule and ordinance.
No person or corporation shall manufac-
ture, or aid in the manufacture for SALE any
Intoxicating liquor; no person shall sell or
keep for sale as a beverage any intoxicating
liquor. The legislature shall by law pre-
scribe regulations for the enforcement of the
provisions of this section and provide sulta-
Bile and adequate penalties for the violation
thereof.
This article was submitted to sepa-
rate vote and was adopted by small
majority. The following is the vote on
the general constitution and separate
prohibition article:
For the constitution. .......... 49,. .25, 1873
Against the constitution. 6,527
For the prohibition article. .15,552
Against the prohibition article Is, 2lS
Thus it will be seen while the main
features of the constitution were adopt
ed by nearly $4,000 majority, this article
had only 334 majority, only securing
1852 votes out of nearly 10000, and yet
the Republican party in national con-
vention unanimously demands the
IMMEDIATE ADMISSION
of South Dakota under this instrument,
and Gen. Harrison, their candidate, is
heartily in favor of it. In New York,
Indiana and the states where Re-
publicanS are most anxious for
votes, they content themselves
with platitudinal resolutions extoll-
ing the excellence of sObriety
but oppose anything that savors of pro-
hibition. But wherever they can eX-
press their honest convictions, without
losing any votes. as in Dakota, they

| ton and seek to force it upon the peo-
pie for all time, although favored by a

The platform demands the early ad-
mission of Dakota as one state with the
proviso that after admission
THE PEOPLE MAY DIVIDE,
if by vote they so declare. This plank
is not only popular with the people, but
it is sensible and just.
Admission as one state is all that we

territory after statehood has been tried,
