The Sun has bid adieu to the sex a change which will, no doubt, be appreciated by its readers. The right of suffrage has been extended to the women of Washington territory, the governor having signed the bill last Wednesday. The local option law has been declared constitutional by judge Palmer at Sioux Falls and the saloon keepers have appealed to the supreme court. The case was bought to test the validity of the law. The report that all letters mailed on trains are cut off at the station, there to have the stamps cancelled, is untrue. Perhaps the department contemplated making such a rule—only that and nothing more. The Commissioner of Immigration has outdone himself in his recently published handbook of Dakota for 1887. It is a valuable history of the territory and is more accurate than such works generally are. Mr. McClure is a rustler with a big R. Proprietor. No doubt enemies of Dakota will endeavor to make capital out of the late terrible storm, regardless of the fact that it was general and that the same cold wave which has since swept over the state. United New England exceeded ours in intensity. In Nebraska, Kansas, Indian Territory and Texas, the loss of life was greater in proportion to area and population than it was in Dakota, and if the New England were as devoid of landmarks as. are the prairies of Dakota, the loss of life there would have been fearful. In fact, it was to the absence of landmarks that all the loss of life was due. Many persons were out in the storm all night and suffered only frozen feet or fingers, others who had sufficient presence of mind to bury themselves in the snow escaped uninjured. The victims invariably wandered aimlessly around until exhausted and then lay down to die. Besides this, Dakota lines of railroad are open the year found, all the blockades occurring in Minnesota and Iowa. Dakota is no great summer resort in the winter time, but her climate is more healthful and more enjoyable than that of any other northwestern state. In two months from this time her prairies, which are now so heavily coated with snow, will be as green as emerald with juicy grasses and growing wheat. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a call for a meeting of the local farmers’ alliance to be held at the town hall on Wednesday, February 1st. It is to be hoped there will be a large attendance, as matters of vital importance will be discussed. It is a common saying that under no circumstances will farmers band together, but we trust the farmers of this locality will form an exception to the so-called rule. There are a great many wrongs that farmers can and should work, precisely as there are a great many other matters which they should not touch. A happy medium is what should be aimed at and what the farmers of this vicinity seem to have attained. It is a great policy to send away for anything that can be purchased as cheaply at home - merchants and business men. O. J. MAUL BOD. Second-class mail matter. Consideration, an interchange of ideas is invaluable. More good can be extracted from a lively meeting of farmers than from the most erudite work on agriculture ever published. Business men have their boards of trade for mutual advantage; farmers must have their organizations, also, or be pushed to the wall. It is not your neighbor’s duty to attend to these things, it is your duty, dear reader, to attend to them yourself. It is not at all necessary that you should have cheek like a brass kettle or a flow of language like a Plummer. It is your presence at local gatherings and your good, common, hard, horse sense that is needed. To make them a success. Northfield News: Rum, Romanism and Rebellion Burchard has come out for Olevland with his alliteration changed so as to read “Renomination, Reform and Rats.” Twelve years ago, William W. Gibbs, the head of the Chicago gas trust, was a clerk in a country store without $100 in the world. Today, he is worth $10,000,000, Jesse James robbed trains for years and died poor. Hasc fabula docet that certain kinds of robbery are profitable and others are not. —[Minneapolis Tribune] A newspaper published in the woods says: Avoid a prairie country. Looking abroad over the finest farms in the world, and the most prosperous people, one wonders at such nonsense. The pioneers of any country always suffer more or less, but that they are deprived of comforts or that life is a burden in prairie lands is folly to assert. The prairie countries of the United States are today, and will be in the future, foremost in the ranks —[Mandan Pioneer] The prohibitionists might as well give up. It is announced that a German chemist has succeeded in making first-rate brandy out of sawdust. What chance will the prohibition movement now have, when a man can get drunk with a fence rail? What if a man can make bandy mash out of the shingles of his roof, or if he can get delirious tremens by drinking the legs of his kitchen chairs? You may shut an inebriate out of a gin shop and keep him away from the tavern, but if he can get uproarious on boiled sawdust and dessicated window-sills, any attempt at reform must necessarily be a failure. —[Exchange] The conservative statistician of The agricultural bureau for Dakota summarizes our principal crops as follows: Buahcia. Wheat... $53,658,400 Oats... 38,45 3, $5 Corn... 1, 22,642,050 Barley... 6,389,180 Flax... 39,908,000 The complete tale of the thresher and elevators will swell the wheat statement and justify the 60,000,000 estimate. A territory, a bit of outlying domain, raises the greatest wheat crop in the United States and not only the greatest in quantity but purest in quality. The man who sits down in the corner of an old lot and waits for a cow to back up and be milked, will go without milk all his days. The man who prays “give us this day our daily bread” and sits down to the table waiting for the Lord to come and put bread on his plate will starve to death. And the men who close their doors, as it were, and expect prosperity to force an entrance into their houses, will croak hard times until the snow if you want any milk. You must work for the bread if you want to eat. And you must open your doors and invite prosperity. If you ever expect she will near you. Harsh Vans to get. [Le. Final Proof Notices. NOTICE.
