Sllch a man as hlm. MIR. Pratt, in

will soon be out ready for business.

work laid ont 10 keep the commit
tees and he public busy for some
days to come. and there is no
doubt about it being efforts in the
right direction.
| I'm the appointment of Hon. w.
+. Purcell to the United States
district attorneyship, the territory
as we'll as Mr. Purcell, is to be con
graduated. And then President
Cleveland should have little
credit for the advancement of two
we'll known and honored Dakota
pioneers. The president is getting
round to the home boys as fast as
he can and knows what he is do
ing, and we think all fair-minded
people give him credit for this. us
III all matters of public interest.
There is difference of opinion
among the lawyers of the city as
to the provisions Of the late law
under which the city is organized.
City Attorney Wolfe thinks 1ha:
none but aldermen should be clcc-
ted. while Mr.. McCumber THINKS
the whole official force should be
! elected in the spring.
John Prinderville, the saloon
keeper who sent the dirty and in
s.lltlng letter to Mrs. Strong of
the w. {. Il. U. at Rutland. some
few weeks ago, was sent to the pen
ltentiary for ten months, hardly
a third of the time he should have
been sentenced to serve. We have
seen a copy of the foul thing,
which piece of the most insultin.
and low-lived filth that the mean
est of all mean saloon-keepers
could possibly impose upon wo-
mankind, and that the scoundrel
should have gotten but ten months
is mcagre punishment, indeed. Not
only was the cowardly puppy not
satisfied to insult the lady in this
way, but took the pains to 90
about town and read the beastly
insult to various people whom !!
seemed listened to it without slap
ping him in the mouth.
1t is to be Governor Wolfe in
the future. Some of Chas. f.
Wolfe's friends have placed him
on the list for the appointment OF
governor Of Alaska. Mr.. Wolfe :
people are intimate friends of Gen.
Harrison family. and being old
time republicans. there is no reas-
ON why Charles friends may not
with all prop'rietv urge the ap-
polntment. Mr.. Wolfe, himself. is
a little too modest on the subject
The Times would be pleased to sea
hlm take his coat off and 90 into
the fight to win. He is thorough
ly capable. well vcrscd in diplom.
acy. and will make a capital gov
crnOr.
We hear G. D. Rittcnho,s,

Mr. Rittcnhouse is one of the most
capable young men in the country

respects TO the Times. Mr.. Irwin,
is a first-rate young man and any
one in that section Of the county
wanting business in his line locke;
after. should give him a call.
