THE MARROW WAY.

The preacher in politics is apt to be
noted for illiberality and bigotry, Take
the editor of the Grand Forks Plain
dealer, for instance. He is too Sabba-
tartan to allow ali issue of his paper with
Sunday date, but, after his pulpit tolls
are over, slips around to his office to
oversee the labors for the preparation
of the Monday morning issue and de-
velop some political scheme. He insists
that his party friends in the North in
building a constitution should beware
of minority representation, as it might
allow few Democrats to stray into the
legislature, and it would form an I'M
desirable element" and he would have
that body ''act as a unit" TO act as a
unit on political matters,it riust be COM
posed entirely of men who belong to
the same party. AS the late legislature
was virtually a unit in politics, he
thinks the North will continue so. In
his view it is right and just to deprive a
third of the people of any representa-
lion. If his theology is as narrow and
illiberal as his politics. those to whom
it is dispensed are objects of sympathy.
He would shut the celestial gates to all
but his own sect.

GOOD PICKING.

Whatever objection there is to the
course of Coy. CHURCH in making NOM
inations for the various territorial insti-
tutions and offices, it is conceded that
in almost every instance the selections
were good. Scarcely any of them could
HE rejected on the score of unfitness.
They are, as rule, not only good men
Oh general principles, but qualified for
the particular positions, There is a
fair mixture of the different political
elements, and if the appointing hand
were not seen small objection would be
raised to them, unless in instances
where some local or personal interest
was involved. The Black Hills Jour-
nal, which is not Democratic paper,
and reflects a good deal of public
opinion, thinks the best way for the
new governor and secretary to do will
be to recognize these appointments; but
that is not presumed to be the feeling
of the influences that fastened their
appointments. 1t is given out tn at they
will ignore them and put up all new
names. There may be tenacity enough
in the grip of the CHURCH nominees to
make the situation interesting.

1t is not certain just what offices will
be established by the constitutional con-
vention for North Dakota. but the list
will hardly comprise less than dozen.
and most of them pretty fair chances.
None of them will 60 begging. In adj
dition, there will be two senators to
elect. and about 100000 acres of land to
endow nine new institutions. Altogether,
it will be slow town that doesn't get
something in the deal. There will be
more struggle. probably, for the institu-
tons than for the offices. Bismarck,
Jamestown and Grand Forks have some

more. Fargo has final grip, apparently,
upon the agricultural college, and Mimic
has normal school which will rise up
into material substance by the bene
factions OF the omnibus bill. The seven
others, possibly except normal OF two,
will be in the ring to be fought for. AS
the good things are so numerous that
nearly all can get share, it should be
happy season in the North, running
late into the winter, When the legisla-
ture will be in session and the diStribu-

THE CAPITAL CITY
Will Be Mitchell if the Efforts of
Her People Are Rewarded.

Special to the Globe.
MITCHELL, S. D., March 22.-Mitchell
is now quietly, but none the less ener-
getically, mapping out her campaign in
the coming fight for the capital.
Her unquestienably favorable advan-
tages place her in position in which
she can with greater consistency ask
the people of South Dakota to make
her the ''Capital City" than any other
town.
She has contributed more in time and
money toward the division and admis-
sion of the territory than any other
city, and her efforts, alone and unaided,
gave to competing towns the privilege
of voting upon this question. Her adj!
yantages in the matter of location and
railroad facilities are far superior to any
other town prominently in the struggle
for the capital. No other town can be
reached as promptly and with as little
expense to the majority of the people
of South Dakota as Mitchell. If every
voter would cast his ballot in the forth
coming election for the town which. he
could reach the quickest and cheapest.
the majority in favor of Mitchell would
be overwhelming. :
Her railways extend in every dlrec-
ton, and as result railway inaeces-
sibility cannot be urged against her. as
against Pierre and Huron. She does
not base her candidacy for capital
honorS upon hopes, nor a real estate,
boom, but the real and natural adYan-t
tageS which are hers.

The appointment for the Su-
preme Court Left Sioux Falls in
the Soup.
Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, March 22-The ap-
pointment of Frank r. Aikens, of Can
ton, to the Garland vacancy was re-
ceived here with a most plentiful lack
of satisfaction. 1t was not only sur
prise, but disappointment; not that
Aikens will not make a good judge, for
those who know him recognize his abil-
ity as a lawyer. and are inclined to
think he will ably and fairly preside
over the court of this district, but be-
cause the bar of the district was united
upon another man-Hon. III. II. Keith,
OF this city, late speaker of the late
legislature. Mr.. Keith was the choice
not only of the bar of Sioux Falls, but
the lawyers of the whole district were
almost unanimous for him. Attorneys
throughout the district wrote personal
letters indorsing Mr.. Keith, and when
they ask for Keith they don't want to
be given an Aikens, no matter how UNI
Objectionable he may be. Mir. Keith is
not at all discouraged at the appoint
ment, for in conversation with the
GLOBE representative, he said: Il had
much rather have the Endorsement of
the bar of the whole district and not get
the appointment than to get the APP
p0intment and not the Endorsement. |
am proud of the Endorsement, and
AIkens is welcome to the Office"
THE VICTORY OF AIKENS
takes us back to the last Republican
delegate convention. At that time, it
will be remembered, c. S. Palmer, who
was candidate, threw his strength to
Mathews, who received the nomination.
President Harrison has adopted the
policy of following the recommendations
of congressman in making appoint
ments. and has repeatedly stated that
such was to be his policy. Mathews
owed Palmer; Palmer and AikenS are
law partners and old friends, while
Palmer and Keith have naught to do
with each other. Palmer put flea in
Mathews ear, Mathews dropped it into
HarriSons auricular Orifce, Harrison
put up his hand, winked. and Aikens
came out Haunting the spotless ermine
in the face of the Fourth district bar,
which was
SOLID FOR KEITH.
1t was all done by a simple twist of
the wrist, and everybody can easily UNI
derStand it, now that all is over. All
can now understand why Judge Palmer,
who attended the bar meeting here,
smiled during the proceedings with a
satisfaction as serene as morning i'll
May.
1t was generally conceded that 1he
fellow who knocked down the judicial
persimmons from the presidential tree
would be the nominee for the place
when the convention is held after state
hood. The plan, however, has changed,
and the curly-headed gentleman from
Lincoln county will be apt to find op
ponents as thick as blackberries when
he seeks for the nomination. What the
end will be there is mouse to try to fore
cast. But is sure that Keith and
Aikens, who began their contests on
the bloody fields of Bismarck, will yet
fight many another battle before the
question of supremacy is settled.
Aikens now has the cards, but it's
Keith'S deal.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 22.-Col.
G. A. Lounsberry, for ten years post
master at Bismarck, is in the city. 1t
was supposed by Gen. Allen and others
that Lounsberry was after the Bismarck
postoffice, but in reply to GLOBE in
quiries he said:
mo, am not an applicant for the
Bismarck postoffice, the Fargo post
office, or any other government posi-
ton. AS to the postoffice: [ had ten
years of hard work; ten years of Strug-
Cling with insufficient allowances; ten
years of envy; ten years OF lost oppor-
tunities. resigned the office when the
Democratic administration came in, be-
cause | was tired of it,"
"What is the Office worth now?'
'sThe salary is $4,000 per annum; the
allowance for clerks is $1,000 and for
the Office the salary was $1,000; the al
lowance for clerks was 81, 400 and for
rent, light and fuel $3.50. The new adj
justmeht of the salary for the year COM
mencing July 1, 1889 may give slight
increase of salary and allowances, as
there have been increased receipts at
the Office over previous years"
There is no man in Dakota so well
acquainted with the department and
with its workings
AS COL. IOUNSBERRY.
Fully three-fourthS of the old Re-
publican clerks are still in the service,
and all knew LounSberry. At least
fifty postoffices were established on his
recommendation. There was a stand
ing order in the department, consented
To Nv, nd
not entirely ignored under PattigreW,
that whatever LOunsberry recon-
mended was all right.
While the official order has not been
issued, it is understood that Gen. Har
rison Allen will be designated as referee
in all North Dakota matters, before the
post Office department for its consider
alton. No possible good can come to
Mathews by exercising control over
North Dakota Offices, and as Gen. Allen
is chairman of the Republican Central
committee of the territory, and had
practically the united support of the
North Dakota delegations in the Water
town convention, he can be properly
chosen referee. Under the old admin
istration Day, Marratta, Mccormack
and Wilson were chosen referees for
their respective sections, but when
Church came onto the field as governor,
all matters were referred to him. This
may account for
THE BAD BLOOD
existing among these gentlemen, es-
pecially On the part of Day and McCor-
mack toword the late governor.
Gov. Ordway has sold an undivided
half interest in eighty acres at Pierre
for $4,000; giving an option on the
other interest to the same parties at
slight advance over these figures.
The governor will return to Dakota
soon, resuming his residence at Bis
marck, where he has banking and other
interests. The governor does not admit
that he is candidate for the United
States senate, claiming that he will be-
come interested in the material pros
perity rather than i'll the politics of
North Dakota. S. ID. f.

HURON CALM, But ASSURED
That the People Will Recognize It's Fit

AS THEY HAVE DONE BEFORE.
How II Sizes Up With Some of Its

Special to the Globe.
HURON, S. d., March %. - While
Huron is known to be an aspirant for
capital honors, her people are not in
clined to make a big stir or create any
great boom in that direction just
now. Huron was once chosen
the temporary seat of govern
'ment for South Dakota. and APP
preciates the honor conferred upon
her and has faith that when the proper
time comes the voters of South Dakota
will again rally to her support and again
say Huron shall be the capital. Her
advantages are known abroad and they
are recognized as superior in every par
ticular to those of any other aspirant.
While other towns are booming" for
the capital,
HURON Is PURSUING
the even tenor of her way, attending to
her varied business interests and enter
prises. Huron is business town-not
of the mushroom sort-but of solid, sub
stantial and healthy growth. Her rail-
roads, business blocks, school houses,
churches, hotels, opera house. ETC., were
not built OH ''eapital prospects" They
were built because of the business de-

city. Except Sioux Falls Huron is the
only city in DakOta-North or South
that has
-FOUR NATIONAL BANKS
and two United States repositories for
the public money; no other town eX-
cept the one named does an equal
amount of postoffice businesS-SiouX
Falls exceeds Huron in this respect
only about 500 per year. Twelve of the
wealthieSt and most extensive loan and
improvement companies in the North
west have headquarters here; their
business extends throughout both of the
new states and into Montana and
Washington. Her public schools are of
higher standard of excellence, and
her
CHURCHES MORE NUMEROUS
than those of any city of its size in the
whole territory. Her people are intelli-
gent, enterprising andshospitable. Her
business men are full of genuine young
American grit and pluck-prosperous
and successful. Her daily real estate
transfers run from 5000 to $4,000. In
brief, Huron is business city through
and through, and when the time for
active work for capital location comes
she will be found ready for the contest,
and she will enter it to win. Success

ABERDEEN TO Be COUNTED
In the Race for the Capital Of the State
Of South Dakota.
IT IS GOING IN WITH VIM.
Programme of the G.. A. r. Reunion
at Aberdeen Next
Week.
Snecial TO the Globe

special to the Globe.
ABERDEEN, S. d., March 22.-Reports
are going out from Aberdeen that she is
not in the capital race. Nothing could
be more false. 1t is certainly not the
sentiment of the people, as thorough
canvass of the business men shows that
they are for Aberdeen, and will stay by
her as long as there is any show. The
only apparent reason why such reports
should have been sent out is that they
fill space in the newspaper columns.
General indignation has been expressed
against the action of certain correspond
entS.
There is no reason why Aberdeen's
chances are not as good or better than
those Of any of the numerous aSpirantS.
The cities south are so close together
that their tributary territory is neceS-
sarlly very small, and such jealousy eX-
lists that no one will turn in and help a
neighbor. The only cities which have
any tributary territory to speak of are
SIoUX FALLS AND PIERRE,
and their geographical position and in
accessibility are such that their chances
are very poor. A look at the map of
the new state will at once convince one
OF the advantages possessed by Aber-
deem. She is, owing to her excellent
railroad facilities, readily accessible
from any direction. The surrounding
country is thickly settled by the best
class of people in the territory. No as
piring rivals are located close enough to
injure her chances in the least. Her
citizens are a class of people who are up
to the times and usually get what they
lot CT 40 hac hoA l,y
upset by the capital boom as some other
cities have, is because she is always on
the boom. Aberdeen has beer solicit
ing the assistance of neighboring coun-
ties and the most gratifying responses
have been received. Citizens of neigh
boring towns are ready in pledging their
support to the Hub city.

CHAMB ERLAIN, S. D., March o.
The news from Washington, stating
that the commission to negotiate with
the Sioux Indians would be appointed
without delay, causes our people to feel
still more confident that the work of Sc
curing the signatures will be completed
by June 1. AS the present Sioux bill
meets every demand made by the chiefs
when i'll Washington last fall, no doubt
whatever is entertained as to the speedy
acceptance of the bill by the Indians.
Chiefs from Crow Creek and Lower
Brule agencies were in the city this
week to nave several features of the
new Sioux bill explained to them, and
they all left feeling satisfied that the
bill was a fair and honest measure,
alike so to the Indians and whites. Par
ties who have made a thorough canvass
among the Indians at Crow Creek
agency can find but two who do not
favor the bill, and it is altogether likely
that even these two will be all right
when the commissioners arrive and eX-
plain all features OF the bill to them.
The Indians at
LOWER BRULE AGENCY
are also almost unanimously in favor of
accepting the measure. One of the
chiefs at this agency, who opposed the
last Sioux bill, stated to an agency en-
ploye a day or two ago that he had
heard the provisions of the bill, was
satisfied, and would sign. Reports from
other agencies are as favorable as from
these two, and the commission will
probably have but little troublein secur-
ing the necessary signatures. 1t comes
from reliable source that as soon as
the signatures of the Indians are secured
the Chicago, Milwaukee < st. Paul rail-
way will bridge the Missouri at this
point and extend their line west through
the lands to be opened to the Black
Hills. The people of the Hills are look
ing anXiOusly for this road to build to
the rich mineral fields and thrifty cities
and towns of that section. The Illinois
Central is also
POINTING THIS WAY,
and it is said this road will also cross at
this point and push line west to the
Hills. With the building west of these
two lines (Or even one, which is certain
the Hills would be brought in direct
communication with this city and East
ern Dakota. Although Chamberlain is
a few miles south of the ''exact CENTER
of the new state, her desirable location
and natural advantages will make her
decidedly active and dangerous candi-
date for capital honors. Numerous let
tiers have been received here from
prominent and influential citizens in
the Hills and elsewhere, rendering
words of encouragement and offers of
assistance in the fight to locate the cap
ital at Chamberlain, the key city to the
reservation and Black Hills region.
When the fight is the hottest Chamber
lain will be at the front. and will be
heard from in tones that cannot be mis-
taken.

NJ. Thomas, Judge of the district
court, gave expression to the feeling
which was uppermost in the banquet,
in responding to the toast "Our Dis
tinguiShed Guest" He said: ''He Judge
Moody had been faithful to the two
state idea when others had faltered:
when others were ready to give up the
fight he never once felt that the cause
was hopeless" This seems to be
the almost unanimous sentiment
of this part of the territory,
both among Democrats and Repub-
licans. Those who have watched
the cause of division during the past
three or four years and understand how
hopeless it seemed at many times are
better able to appreciate Judge Moody's
plucky and unparalleled devotion to
the cause. Now that the cause has tri-
umphed, all, with few executions, are
disposed to give him credit for his fight
and would like to see him rewarded for
his work with rest in the United
States senate.
Many probably will be unable to
agree with him on all the questions per-
tanning to the government and admis-
sion of South Dakota, but it may be
said truly that Judge Mordy has the
unanimous support of the Black Hills
