the adoption of the prohibitOry amend
ment to the constitution. A thorough.
systematic organization is helping the
cause.-Sioux Falls Journal.
The regular address of Mr.. Cox makes
a beautiful volume of fifty odd pages. a
work of permanent value, by an author
statesmen of this world. This is not the
language of enthusiasm, but the plain,
homely fact of istory.-Ruronite.
Hugh j. Campbell. in a speech before
the alliance convention at Huron adj
vised the farmers to ''smaSh all states"
Has any one little bit of a suspicion
that Mr.. Campbell may favor the smash
ing OF all states for the reason that his
name has not found a place on any Of
them?-Rapid City Journal.
Dakota leads the world. When we al
low our minds to dwell On the fact that
Dakota, yet territory, carried off the
highest hOnOrS at the Boston cOnServa-
tory of music, an institution known far
and wide for its able corps of professors,
we are constrained to feel sad for our
soon to be sister states.-Watertown
Journal.
There is no longer any doubt but that
there are excellent reasons for gen.
orally hopeful outlook for the coming
harvest in South Dakota. The weather
during the past two or three weeks has
been all that could be desired, and has
effected a wonderful mOmentOus i'm
provement in the general condition of
thlngs.-Canton Advocate.
The leading lawyers of the territory
think the talk about the constitutional
convention having the power to GUST
present county officials before the eX-
piration of their terms is all nonsense.

offices anyway, and that an attempt to
GUST them would only result in useless
and expensive tigation.-Sargent In
dependent.
The oath prescribed for officeholders
in South Dakota in substance is: 81
will not take bride or railroad pass
for any vote | give" And while we are

Fargo Argus is led to eXclaim: eff he
don't vote-he can take all the brides
and railroad passes that come along"
Looks that way, majOr.-MaYville Trib-

though it would not yield enough to pay
the expense of harvesting and thresh-
ing, but in the past week the large rain
fall has increased the prospect about
eight bushels per acre. The outlook
now is favorable for fifteen bushels per
acre.-Lidgewood BoardaXe.
Banker Diggs, the coming state treas
urer, was eminently successful in his
mission to Washington. The secretary
of the interior has consented to appoint
a commission to negotiate with the Sis
seton Indians, and the patents to their
lands are being made out as fast as the
Indian bureau can accomplish it. There
is no longer any doubt but the reServa-
ton will be thrown open for settlement
early next spring.-Milbank Advance.
The idea of but one branch to the
legislature for the new state of North
Dakota seems to be very taking one"
with great many. and if the constitu-
ton makers can fix it in that way the
| Tribune believes they will be able to
rejoice over their own wisdom in the
future. and the people will thank them
for their departure from an already too
much worn and useless rut. 1t would
be novelty, economy, better government
and less jobbery combined. There can
be no bargains where there is but one
