calling Senator MOODY an ass with en-
phasiZing prefix, but he now says he
hopes MOODY will be oneof the senators;
from the South. The colonel evidently
fears that he will be. and realizes that
the governor of Alaska might want
friends in the senate. He now remem-.
berS that no offenSe was intended. 1t
was all a mistake about MOODY sitting
down on him at Chicago.

One of the prohibition circulars dis.
tributed III the South says tue vote on
prohibition is to be taken with the Sioux
Falls constitution. May IA next. Pos.
sibly others may have that impression,
and it is a natural one in view of the
vote on the constitution at that time.
But it is mistake. There will be no
yote,on prohibition until October, when
the final vote is had. This question and
minority representation will be voted
on separately then, unless a new con-
stitution is made, and they are inecI-
porated in that. 1t is very certain that
they will be submitted separately in
any event. !

While people generally have been ex-
cited over the statehood racket, the
good people of the town of Clark have
been able to focus their minds Ola still
higher interests. The most powerful
revival ever known in the territory has
swept the town like wildfre, over 200
conversions taking place in a we'll
cburched community of 1000 or less.
Hardly less remarkable is the statement
that the work was largely due to the
splendid assistance rendered by the
press" The preacher well said at the
harvest jubilee that closed the meetings
that 1.-The press is the mightiest power
in the world for good outside of the
pulpit, and when both combine in har-
mony all hell cannot stand against
them" The example is worth looking
at in other towns.
If Devils Lake is going into the capt.
tai fight in earnest, it will have to
change its name. There is a flavor of
superstition in connection with that
name that will hang around in spite of
reason. 1t will do no harm i'm early and
frontier times, but in coming into the
Union among those who are prejudiced
against the devil, there should be no
suggestion OF his horned majesty.

1t is stated that that eagle or goose
quill that was given to Delegate CIR
FORD by President CLEVELAND earned
good many million dollars for Dakota.
1t is thing worth filing in the archives
if it added So to every acre in Dakota,
1t wrote but two words-GRovEi:
CLEvELAND--at the end of the omnibus
bill. The idea that the late admins
tration or congress was unfriendly to
Dakota should not be heard again in
the goodly land.
The 100000 acres granted to each
of the Dakota states will put the
public institutions on pretty solid
basis if the lands are judiciOusly man
aged. The 10000 for the agricultural
college i'm the North and 10000 in the
South will endOw them handsomely.
1t would seem that the North would
have to add the six institutions that it
is short on-theSe are the normal
schools, school of mines, reform school.
deaf and dumb school, as well as the
agricultural college. With the three
already had and the capitol. most of the
leading points will be able to obtain
something.
Better commence now to write y, y.

pride, rather than practical importance,
as the postal distributors are bound to

The resignation of Judge CARfAND
indicates that he doesn't intend to leave
North Dakota. His interests are at Bis
marck. and he designs to make that his
residence, evidently. All the Judges
will continue in Office, if they don't re-
sign, until the end of their terms or
the vacation of their Office by the cleo
ton of state judges. 1t may be noted
thatwhiie the judges are all Democrats,
no dissatisfaction with any of them is
! noted anywhere. This was not quite
the case with FRANCIS. SMITH, and per-
! hapS others who preceded. Unless
straight politics is demanded. it is
probable that several of the present
! members may be elected by the people,
if they care to serve.

Some do not quite understand that the
present delegate from Dakota in con
gresS is named MATTHEWS, and not GIF-
| FORD. 1t has been the impression that
MATHEWS would have no service If adj
| mission were had before the meeting Of
| the next congress. He will have a
| term from noon of March till the first
1 Monday in December, for which he will
draw pay at the rate of $1,000 year.
| Unless there is a special session before
December, of course, he will not be a
lawmaker i'll re. as the lawyers say, but
! i'll posse. That, however, is a trifIing
matter, as delegates have no vote and
! don't count for much in congress.
MATHEWS will be the chief counsel of
! the administration in soliciting Dakota
| people to accept offices. If it is the
policy OF the administration torefer this
matter chiefly to the party representa-
| tive i'll congress, MATHEWS will embody
the entire delegation. 1t is good time
