MONTANA SENATOR'S.

The Giendiye Independent dominates
Col. GEORGE Il. Jingle, of that city, as
one of the senators from Montana, in
ease the Democrats obtain control of
the legislature. In the abundance of
good material on hand, the Montana
Democrats will have no difficulty in
selecting two senators that will be a
credit TO the new state. And while we
have Col. TINGLE's word for it that he
i not a candidate for senatorial honors,
set the Democrats of Montana would
make no mistake in electing him. His
familiarity with public men and public
affairs would be a great advantage in
bringing the new state to the favorable
attention of the country. Among those
who have entered the lists on the Demo-
cratic side are w. A. CLARKE and w,

having been chosen for lieutenant
governor makes it necessary for Mr..
TOoLE TO hold down the executive Office
for a full term. 1t is now fairly we'll

tors will be Democrats. The attempt
made by the Republicans to steal the
Silver Bow delegates has raised such a
storm of popular indignation through
out the entire country that the men who
are responsible for the outrage are
searching for a hole in the ground in
which TO hide themselves until the

THE COLOR LINE.

1t is late in the day for the color line
to be drawn in Northern college, and
yet the walls of old Harvard are being
shaken from center to base with race
squabble that promises badly for the fut-
ure of the famous old institution. In
recent contest for the distinction OF
being chosen class orator colored stu
dent was elected by one majority out of
a total of go votes. There was at no
time a question about the successful
competitors fitness for the post. Ora
tory is as natural TO the negro as it is to
the Irdian. They are an imprisoned
race, who live close to nature and find
forms of expression in speech that ring
with an eloquent melody their more
cultured white brethren are incapable of
producing. The young colored man
who is fortunate in having the means
to take course at Harvard easily
eXcelled in those forensic tour
neys which are the most delightful
part of the college exercises. and his
classmates were fascinated by his
eloquence. But when it came to elevat-
ing him to the distinction of class
orator. the matter wore another aspect.
The Harvard students viewed it i'll
about the same light the average Repub-
lican politicians sect The negrois good
enough in his place in the ranks, but
when it comes to filling the offices, the
white brother has the monopoly. The
color line was drawn against the young
cOlOred gentleman, and as result, he
only won by the skin of his teeth dis
tinction that was universally conceded
to be his due upon merit; and singular
feature of the contest was that he won
the prize by the ardent support of a few
young SOuthernerS who were his class
mates. and who were his champions from
the start. But the amusing part of the
whole business is that the Harvard
faculty decided to withhold from the
public the name of the white student
vino was defeated by the colored gent.
This is done out of consideration for
the feelings of the white students, who
are no less mortified than the Harvard
faculty that white man should be
beaten by "nigger." Perhaps when
human nature has been repealed, and
not until then, will the color line be
wholly wiped out.

A DAKOTA DECKER.

A correspondent at Pierre furnishes
the GLOBE some inside history of the
contest for the first senatorshiDs in
South Dakota. Judge EDGERToN was
one of the senators-elect from the
Huron legislature of a few years ago,
and nominally at least an aspirant for
the materialized position. The writer
alleges that few hours before the eau
Gus PETTIGREW and Gov. MELLETTE
took EDGERToN away for protracted
drive. The secrets of that carriage are
not reported, but the impression pre-
walls. and will be confirmed if he is APP
pointed, that EDGERTON was induced to
trade his chances for the senatOrship
for the position of United States district
judge. This is pronounced traffic in
yolying the purity of the ermine. and
the writer asserts that at least two other
aspirants for the place will picture the
carriage scene to the president as a
corrupt bargain and sale" 1t is posi-
bic they will blunder into making the
choice of EDGERToN more certain. The
correspondent is evidently novice in
Republican politics.

A SEVERE CRITICISM.

The seyerest criticism of the admin
istration for its disregard of pledges
comes from persons who helped tOelect
HARRISON. Among the more recent of
these is Lawyer W. W. THOMPSON, of
Albany, n. Y. He is a prominent G..
A. r., man, OF good standing in his
profession, and one of the most active
and eloquent on the stump last year.
He was recently rendered the position
of special pension examiner, and after
a visit to Washington declined it in q
very caustic letter. He says. "Ihe ma
tional administration has made the old
axiom still more self-eYident, that a one
inch plug cannot fill a four-inch hole"
He charges that the president habitually
violates his promises, aud makes this
statement: "Both the president and
Gen. NOBLE are willing tools i'll the
hands of claim agents, and are content
to continue the pension bureau at
cost of over S20.0O0,oO0 per annum more
than is needed to give every surviving
Union soldier IS per month";" The
reputation of THOMPSON entities his
views to consideration. especially with
Republicans, and some interest may be
felt in learning the specifications OH
which he bases his charge.

THE WOMAN CRUSADE.

In the jumbles and varying fortunes
of questions in the political arena. it
was feared that the good ladies who
have SO long and manfully been press
ing their way to the ballot box had be-
come so wearied that their gentle
pleadings would no longer fall upon
the public ear. But grateful is the re
lief that comes in the assurance from
SUSAN 3. ANTHONY that the coming
year such a marching of, forces and
vocal flow will be had upon the pFairIes
of South Dakota as the country has not
seen. Most of the voting done this
year is only good until the general
election of November, 1890, and the
constitution epreseribes that the legis-
lature shall submit the question of
woman suffrage at that election. There
could hardly be more inviting and
hopeful field for the ladies, and already
the Sagacious unenfranehised are pre-
pairing for the campaign. Mrs. BARKER,
the head of the W. c. I. u, has re-
turned from the North, and Miss AN
THoNY is lowering about. The great
questions that will convulse South Da-
kota all the census year will be the
capital and woman suffrage.

! 1t Is reported that there are but two
breweries in South Dakota. In re-
cent speech at Pierre, Gov. Mellette,
now securely in his seat, advocated the
duty of the state legislature re-emburs-
ing the owners of this property out of
the state treasury. In South Dakota
this would not be an expensive Obliga-
ton to cancel, but in North Dakota it
would be. There are numbers of large
and costly buildings, containing. valua-
bic machinery, etc., erected for the
manufacture of. beer, in Grand Forks,
Fargo, Jamestown and Bismarck. The
cost of these structures foots up into
the hundred thousands. One Fargo
firm has property valued at $l25, 900
alone. North Dakota obligations in this
respect are as binding as those of South
