THE title of colonel in Kentucky
seems to be applied indiscriminately.
1t is given alike to the owner of a dis
tillery, to congressman, to an editor,
to railroad official and to an office
holder. One would suppose that in
Kentucky the owner of distillery
would rank much higher than the rest
of these persons, and require at least
the title of general.

GOV. CHURCH TALKS.
And Expire sses satisfaction With
His Record as the Chief ExecU-
tive.

tive.
Special 10 the Globe.
JAMESTOWN, n. D., March 22.-Gov.
Church was in the CITY this week, and
did not seem at all displeased at the
prospect of his becoming an ex-govern-
OF. He is satisfied with his record as
the territOry's executive, and says he
has been pleased to notice that many of
the papers which formerly opposed
him are now coming around and say
ing that he has made a better record
than the last legislature. Being asked
what he thought of the rumor sent out
from Washington to the effect that the
Democratic supreme court judges of
the territory were to be bounced to up-
set his appointments, the governor
said: at is pretty hard to tell Just
what may be done, but / hardly think
they will dare to go so far as to tamper
with the bench for personal ends.
There would seem to be no need for
such action, anyhow, for the judges
have already held that the
GOVERNOR HAS POWER To REMOVE.
As the law now stands, there was not.
at the time the appointments were
made, a board of trustees in legal ey-
istence in the territory. with, perhaps,
two exceptions. The Hughes trustee
act, which l signed OH the day before
adjournment, legislated all those old
boards out of existence. If YOU remem-
Der, it provided that that not more than
two members of board should be from
the county where the institution is
located. Now, on the jamestown asy-
lum, there were three members from
yonr county. Then at Bismarck there
were six trustees under the old act,
while the new one says there shall only
be five. The two exceptions l men
toned were the Grand Forks university
and the penitentiary. Of course could
not let these institutions remain with
out legal government, no matter how
much l wished to offer every courtesy
to my successor. If had consulted my
personal preferences, l should have
been glad to leave the matter for Gov.
Mellette, but under the law nv duty
appeared to me to be plain. do not
think that the tenure of Office act can
possibly apply to those offices which
have been created since its PASSAGE
Gov. Church pays high compliment to
his successor, and says he thinks the
president made no mistake in appoint
ing him.

neither will she attempt TO answer any
of the many silly slurs and innuendoeS
they have worked up against her. She
is i'll the fight to stay, is working wholly
upon her merits, which she believes and
has proven to be by far the best, and isl
willing to bank OH it that if the vote was

location she would get there by a large
and enthusiastic majority over all the
rest. To verify these statements ask
the many men from Sioux Falls, Aber-

towns, why they have invested their.
thousands in Pierre dirt the past few
week, and are now booming Pierre

censure of their home people for so do
ing, because the capital is wanted there.
READ THE CURRENT ISSUES
OF three-fourths of the newspapers OF
South Dakota, and hear them tell their
reasons for supporting Pierre in the
race; and if, as It's said, the press is a.
moulder of public opinion, the question:
of the location of the capital of South
Dakota then is practically settled. for
the new stores aud places of business
are now coming to Pierre, artisans and
laborers-the men who hew the wood

every train, called here by the enter
prises now on foot. and last, as yet

though in no way creditable, like the
birds of prey that flock about the carri-I

hold. No better sign of the presence Of
the boom could be had than this last,
for they always follow in its wake.

Sioux FALLS, March 22.-Hon. r. F.
PettigreW returned home on Tuesday,
having been gone about a month, most

Washington, and more than that, how
Frank stood on the capital question.
1t will be remembered that your
correspondent last week alluded to an
interview had with MI. Pettigrew in
Washington, in which he stated that
Pierre was to be the capital. From this
it was feared here that Mr.. Pettigrew
would refuse to cast his influence with
Sioux Falls. Your correspondent eX-
pressed the belief that as soon as the
pickerel statesman sized up the situa-
ton he would

and solely because L felt that it would
