W. Caldwell, A, W. Edwards, Becretarles. The republican committee, as will be be seen in another column, havo called the territorial convention to bo held at Pierre on Wednesday the 17th day of September next, to put in nomination a candidate for delegate to congress as suc cessor to Hon. J. B. Raymond. This gentleman resides in Fargo, and is wo un derstand a candidate for re-nomination. The naves of General Allen ot the same place and present United States marshal of the territory, Steele of Steel City, and several others of the North Dakota region have been mentioned in connection with the matter as possibly being candidates for the office in opposition to Mr. Ray mond at least sufficient has come to the surface to indicate that the latter gentle man will not havo an easy walk-away among his homo constituency. Neither is the track in South Dakota a clcar ono lor the present incumbent, by any means with due deference and respect for the earnest aud apparent impartial effort he had made to represent his large constitu ency, in some matters he has necessarily made enemies, or at least caused oppoai tion to his re-nomination. That any por son however able and impartial can serve such a largo number of people with so many diverse wants and interests accept ably to all and without treading on soine- bodys toes, is out of the question, *nd from the persons above mentioned, if the choice is to be mado from their number, we should prcter Mr. Raymond to be his own successor, but there are somo sugges tions in connection with this position that we would like our readers to consider. First, there is no probability of Dakota being admitted as a state until the com plexion of congress is changed. That is, as long as the democrats are in power or have a majority in the house they will thwart every effort made over becoming a state, thus leaving us as wo have been with but one man to represent this great territory, and he without a vote. Censur able as it is, wo are at the mcrcv of dem agogucism and the victims ot the contemp tible dogmas of a ruinous power in our national legislature. Second, the notorious capital scheme now familiar to the people, places northern Dakota in a position that the most popu lous and wealthy portion must play second fiddle only. The capital, the governor, the territorial officers, the marshal, the delegate to congress, all are on the North ern Pacific—all but the delegate and mar shal virtually being so placed by law. Thirdly, the fact cannot bo denied that an un^ring and possibly successful combi nation is being effected to retain this im portant prestige. Those northern man ipulators have accomplished what they have at too much coBt of money and prin ciple to now surrender without effort "to hold fast all they havo got," and their southern emissaries are not few in num ber, with the spoils they have for distri bution. Now, is it not time that the people ot this sold out region should claim their rights and at least domand some share in the voice ot a government they are taxed to maintain. We are certainly entitled to something more than notary publics and such county commissioners as the ex ecutive may choose to appoint. There is power enough below the 40th parallel to hold the unscrupulous schemers level. It is a right that southern 'Dakotaians should insist upon, and by so doing we aro not only receiving what belongs to us, but the territory at large will be just as fairly and ably represented by selecting as a candidate for delegate to congress from among the many worthy men, one resid ing south of the No. 1 hard "banana belt" region. There is a strong feoling already exist ing, we find, among the voters to, at the Pierre convention, present the name of some gentleman, resident of southern Da kota, for the nomination. Several have been mentioned in conversation but have seen none publicly announced. It was a gratification to the writer to hoar the name of our highly respected townsman, Judge O. S. Gifford, not only favorably, but extensively mentioned in different lo calities within the past two weeks. Wheth $2 00 er he would allow the use of his namo or not, or would consent to be a candidate we cannot say, but as people beyond his home aro canvassing his merits, those of his immediate acquaintance will certainly not fail to pay the tribute he deserves. His first public service was that of a sol dier during the war always a republican he has proved a staunch, unwavering ad vocate of those principles for which he bat lied in early lite. Coining to this beautiful valley of the Sioux in early days he located at Canton when but a few shan ties constituted the settlement. Here he has remained, identifying himself with the first settlers an 1 their interests and has risen from a person without means and appointment prestige to a well earned com petency, and a prominent, influential po sition. No man can say aught against the high personal integrity of Judge Gif ford his word is his bond, and his politi cal record is as pure as his social life gen erous to the wants of I hi! needy, he is al delegates to I'iorro. Pierce is now governor of all the Dako ta's, and it remains to be seen whether he will wind up his career with the general feeling of pleased satisfaction and good will that has charactemed the expressions of the masses on the announcement of the overthrow of the Ordway element, or whether ho will leave the chair of sover eign power and dignity with the unani mous animosity of his subjects. Had Pierce's advent into the territory followed the term of some true Dakotaian who had become identified with the honest and le gitimate business interests confined with in his circumscribed domain, the chant of welcome would not have existed with such a unanimity of spirit, but coining as he does aftor a four years series of confusion, turbulent and unjust domination and al most tumult from insubordination, his ar rival is greeted as a measure towards heal ing the rancor of tlio disturbing factions and inoculating a more equitable and hon est feature into the manipulation of coun ty scat deals and capital removals. The carpet bag act that President Arthur has followed so unsuccessfully is this time ov erlooked, and the bare fact that the prof ligate Ordway and gang are no longer in power seems to have been successful in insuring an expressive salutation of wel come to this man from nearly half a mil lion western boomers, who have decided that right must rule though Bismarck and north Dakota be buried in the ashes and dust of oblivion and *inching defeat. Governor Pierco appeared at Yankton last week and was sworn in by ex-Govern or Faulk, a justice of the peace. A sere nade at the Merchants brought out sever al speeches, and touching upon tho sub ject of the capital location contest, the new govornor says: The duty of the executivo is not to make tho laws, but to execute them. The only means he has of knowing the will of the people is by looking at tho measures which they have enacted through their "representatives. If such representatives have been falso to their constituents, tho remedy lies in changing them and olecting men more faithful to their oaths and their duty. Now your legislature has passed an act regarding the seat of gov crnmen. What it intended to do, what it meant to accomplish by thdtact, is very plain. What it actually did accomplish must be determined by future develop ments. This act repealed the law making Yankton the capital it appointed a com mission to fix upon a permanent seat of government, and, last, it provided that until such Ideation was made the territori al archives should remain at Yankton, un less the governor should designate somo other point by written order. Whether this last provision was wise or unwise is not for me to say but it is certainly as much a part of tho law as any other sec tion. The governor, in his discretion, has aoted upon this clause, and it is very clear to me that the power having been exercised the order has all tho force and effect of a statute until repealed or re voked. That tho incoming governor may again revoko or annul tho order is prob ably true. The question is, should this bo done? I. am told tho legislature meant to transfor tho capital of that there is no question. Recognizing tho fact that it is the duty ot tho executive to carry out the intent and meaning of tho people's representatives as thoroughly and completely as possible, I still wish it understood that I nave no plans to push or theories to advance against any compe tent. authority whioh may direot me to modify or reverse my action. I am the subject of the-law. Let tho law and peo ple who make the law express clearly what they require me to do and I shall cheerfully obey. From the above it is inferred that Gov ernor Pierco will recognize Bismarck as the capital, unless he receives directly contrary orders from the department at Washington, This is not probable, and it now resU with the people of southern Dakota whether or no theyrecognizo the right of the removal by the last legisla ture, in making their selections for the in coming legislatorial body. Nothing can be of wore general interest at this moment than information relative to our oandidates. There is no denying the fact tha( Blaine togra now bold •-::a- f** "J ST* CANTON, DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JULY 3'. '884. tho highest placo in tho consideration of thoir countrymen. It adds not a little to the interest of the prcsont campaign that several "lives" ot the Republican stan dard bearers havo been writton and given to tho publio. Foremost among these we may place without hesitation the work produced by Professor John Clark Rid path. It is undoubtedly better writton, more ample in its scope, truer to fact, of a bettor literary style, more comprenensivo und valuable in overy respect, than any of the competing publications. Professor Ridpath's volume entitled "The Lives of Blaine and Logan," is now about to bo is sued froni tho press of Jones Bros. Si Co., of Chicago, and from what wo know of the merits of the work—junging from ad vanced sheets, and discriminating reviews of tho book—wo do not hesitate to say to our readers that, they should procure a copy of the work in preference to any oth er. The book will well repay perusal, and wil prove to be a permanent acqui sition to the library of tho purchaser. Mere isja cow that bellows for Cleve land. She must have fared on excellent feed or had tho promise of a fat office: About two years before Grover Cleve land was nomiuated foi mayor of Buffalo, Farmer Scuddcr added a Ilolstein cow to the livo stock on his farm. On the day that Cleveland reeeivod the nomination the cow bellowed with tho vigor and dis tinctness of a fog horn for bouts. Kloe tion night Mr. Humidor was called to tho barn by an unusual noise, and found tho prophetic cow on her kn.ies, apparently offering up thanks in a bellow o! groat purity and depth of tone. When New York's favored son wi.s named forgovern- or ways to the fiont with purse and voice in such public enterprises as deserves coun tenance such official positions ho has been called upon to till bears the record of a conscientious and able officer. All this and more, we feel confident those who know him will indorse, and should he con sent to be placed in the ranks ot tl.e can didates for delegate to congress we pro dict the voters of Lincoln county would give him as hearty an endorsement as any candidate will receive at home. Rut whether the Judge is the coming man or not, we hope the voters of Lincoln county will look well to the fact, that theii own interests requires a careful consideration of the condition of our territorial aflairs, and not be induced to support men who may be presented as only uat's-paws to se cure a local support, which, if accom plished, will bo thrown to the aid of de signing men who dare not risk their black record before a southern Dakota constitu ency in the preliminary gatherings for the cow of destiny threatened to blow her iunss loose from their moorings, and on election day repeated the performance with a gusto. With singular obtusenoss Farmer Seuddor did not pay much atten tion to the actions of his dumb beast until Friday noon, when, seated at the table, ho was suddenly aroused by the sight of tho oow rnshing'about the lot, digging up tho sod with hor horns and bellowing with the throttle wide open. Jumping from his chair, Farmer Seuddor shouted: "Dang that 'air cow I I'll bet my farm that Cleve land is nominated." And ho was. Tho reason why the democrats can nev er win is explained in the following, taken from tho Chicago Times, Novembor, 18K0: The recent presidential election has shown that there is an invincible reason why tho de mocratic party can never win a national victory. It is that tho youth of this re public are not democratic. The sons of democratic fathers havo grown Up repub licans. So lotig as slavery and the war linger within the mejiory of Americans, the youth of'the republic will continuo to grow up republicans and slavery and the war will be remembered as long as the public school system exists. Tho publio schools have slain the democratic party with the text books. Although the scrip cases havo been commanding but little attention the past few weeks there is probably fun ahead for the Dakota offieors. Deputy United States Marshal Gray has a letter from Attorney General Brewster, enclosing a letter from Senator Allison of Iowa de manding Gray's authority for going into the state of Iowa aud arresting Carpenter. The forcible means resulted to for secur ing Carpenter's appearance at Yankton may result in i\ sorious aad unlooked for diminution to the official character of the Dakota officers,Jshould Senator Allison insist on an answer to his request. Newspaper work has been opened so freely to women within the past ten years that no influental paper in tho country is without, one or more women employed on its regular staff. Some of tho largo New York and eastern papers employ throe and four women, engaged for special de partments. Women have succeeded in jouanalism without any previous training, except that which is "dickcd up" in a hap-hupzard way but their work has be come such a recognized element in tho newspaper that a woman's school of jour nalism is to be opened in Detroit.

Two bosses, twelve men, two mules, aud a stoam engine havo boon uuloadiug tho timber. Ono man runs tho ongiuo. Ono over hauled a rope so that the end could bo passed through nu opening in the bow of the schooner. Throo men watohod tho other man. Ono boss watohod tho threo men and tho othor man. Ono man in the hold of tho vessel caught the ond of tho ropo and passed it to an other man. Tho othor man mado it fast to tho timbor. A third man look ed on. A boss looked at tho threo. The man who tiod the rope to the tim bor was a new man in the yard. He did it woll. Then be shouted: "Go ahead!" Tho two men passod tho word to tho boss, who sat on the timber bo side them. Tho boss shouted tho order to the boss on tho shoro. He gavo tho order to the four men around him. These mon simultaneously notified tho engin eer, who started the ongino, and urn? pulled tho stick of timber half-way out of the sohoonor. Tlion all hands shout* ed "whoa!" The ropo was overhauled and a now hitoh taken. This timo the timber reaohod the shore. In the meantimo three men had stood around the team of mules, one of them holding the reins. Whon the stlok of timber reaohod the wharf at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the mon all examined it attentively. They called it a small piece. Then a timber truck was run ovor tho timber, and six men prossed thoir weight on tho tonguo, so that the timbor was lifted clear of thq ground. Tho mulos would have trotted away with it if ono of tho mon had not re strained them. A sergeant of marines walked wlowly along a path not far away, when the mules stopped, and a man got off an old spar to unhitch the timbor. Tho sorgeant gnzod tboughfully ovor tho river at tho smoke of a tug that rolled lazily up, aftor loaving tho oxhaust pipo. The sorgeant said: "That makes six timbers thoso men have got out in soven hours, and yot aome people think there's easy times in tho navy yard." Dogs lit Turkey.
