Any candidate in South Dakota who
hopes to win this year, be he high or
low, had better get onto the prohibition
band wagon. The procession is rapidly
forming, gentlemen; wheel into line;

Gen. Aliens success in CasS county
is largely due to the labors of John Hag-
CART and the planning of Maj. Edwards.
coupled with the bring up of the rear

DEVILS Lake Capital.
Every man who believes that the pub
lie institutions deal is an outrage upon
the people should not hesitate to vote
against the constitution. An impression
prevails that to reject the constitution
will seriously delay statehood. This is
a mistake.-Grand Forks Herald.
No one can point to an unmanly tran
saction Oh Mr.. Mathews part and sub
stantiate it by the facts, yet the edict
has gone forth that Mathews must be
doWned, and, we regret to say, some
otherwise very good people have jumped
at the crack of the whip and his music.
-Brookings Press.
Mathews is practically out of the race
for congress. 1t is very doubtful as to
whether he can carry his own county.
We are afraid that Editor Shannon is
not good nurse. AS to this county,
the ''paregoric" has had too much post
office in it to make it healthy for Mr..
Mathews.-Huron Herald.
From an independent standpoint the
scrambling going on for political patron
age in North Dakota is simply disgust
ing. Even the constitutional conven-
ton, instead of spending its time to
frame a constitution that will. for all
time to come, be for the benefit and
welfare of the people of Dakota, has
been seemingly run for the purpose of
making political capital Benson News.
The wisdom of the conventions ac-
ton in prohibiting the legislative as
sembly from making gross earnings
tax on railroads, and fixing minimum
tax of 5000 per mile in the constitution
is questioned. If allowed to stand in
this way it will discourage the building
of any more branch lines or feeders,
now so earnestly prayed for by counties
situated off the main lines.-3iSmarck
Tribune.
1t is not the question whether the peo-
pie would move the capital to James
town, DEVILS Lake, Grand Forks,
Fargo, or leave 1t at Bismarck that is
involved, but the principle of the right
of the people to say where they want it.
and, gentlemen of the convention, if
you do not want to incur the just con-
demnation of all fair-minded people,
take your hands off the capital. james

MIR. Cox feels hurt that his work for
ritories is not better appreciated. In
this Mr.. Cox is mistaken. The people
in the Dakotas do appreciate what he
has done in their behalf, but there is a
general feeling that they had another
friend there who got in some important
work, and that his name is William
Springer. Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Springer
are both entitled to much credit, and
neither should try to rob the other:
The Dakotas appreciate the work of
both.-Si0uX Falls Argus.
The persistency with which A. B.
Wood, alias A. B. Ward, alias A. Bently
Worthington, chung to the initials "a.
B. W." suggests much method in his
madness. He didn't have to remark
his linen every time he changed his cog
nomen. The general, by the way, was
last heard from in Canada, while three
more wives, making eleven in all, have
been heard from. 1t will take more
than "ChriStian" or any other kind'of
science to save him from his just pun
ishment if these deceived and deserted
women join in hunting him down.
