j. w. HARDEN, who declined an ap-
pOintment as member of the board of
trustees of the Brookings agricultural
college, is booked for the superintend-
ency of the reform school at Plankinton.
He will be elected at the next meeting
of the directors.
The usually astute and discriminate
ing KELLOGG, of the jamestown Alert,
makes comment upon the GLOBES mon
ument to the victims of the blizzard in
Dakota which is somewhat cloudy and
difficult of Interpretation. He charges
discrimination against the victims in
Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota, and
asserts that the tombstone has partic-
ularly mOurnful aspect for North Da-
kOta. just what KELLOGG is trying to
elucidate puzzles the GLOBE, but when
the able Alert editor expires mOnu-
ment will be printed about which there
can be no question of discrimination,
and which will be so decorated and in
Scrlbed that the mOurnful aspect will
not be diScernible.

Maj. EDWARDS manages to keep his
head above water in some way, and Oc-
casionally, in padding, he shows his
pedal eXtremities. The lottery business
has its humorous, as well as its mourn
full features.
The eyes of all Dakota are fixed on
the national congress. There are issues
involved in which almost every citizen
is interested. The questions of admis-
sion into the Union and of opening the
Sioux reservation are of vital
Importance to the territory. The
progress of legislation and con-
SideratiOn of these matters have
been duly chronicled by the GLOBE
from day to day in its Geographic re-
ports from Washington. 1t begins to
look as if admission may be defeated be-
cause of the wranglng of the division
lists and One-state faction. A Republic
can senate wants division and Demo-
cratic house insists Oh one state. This
may result in killing all the bills and
setting Dakota back for another two
years. It's sad commentary on our
system of government, but partisanship
is cutting very large figure in settling
this question. A reservation bill of
some kind seems pretty certain to pass.

A supreme judge in Dakota must have
a vOrac;ous sort of political appetite.
The startling statement is promulgated
that there has never been an election
for congressman in the territory but
that supreme Judge was one of the
candidates.
: One of the crying needs of Dakota is
an influx of independent wheat buyers.

which the territorial affairs are being
