The Sioux Falls Press of Sunday gives | an account of an impromptu reception ! given Hon. R. F. Pettigrew, oil Saturday ! night at the Cataract House, upon his re-| turn that evening from Washington. The } band was in attendance and after discours-j ing some welcome pieces, Mr. Grigsby I formally expressed on behalf of the citi-; zens of the Falls their welcome and at>-I proval of his congressional labors. Messrs ' Winsor, Frizzell, Sherman, Philips, Swe-: zey and Campbell followed with well timed I remarks. Mr. I'ettigrew replied in one | ot his happy veins, and some illusions

furnished food for extended consideration by those who are seeking to aggrandize

i themselves at the expense of the masses. There is a fund ot truth and a sentiment all can appreciate in what he says as to the Falls wanting location ot the capital,

i He said :'I would rather count as a citizen of Sioux Falls one good honest brick-layer than half a dozen governors, the brick layer woul 1 be a producer of sometliiug of value, and the governors might be produ­cers of schemes."' The whole speech was was one that time will show is a true re­flection ot the sentiments of a large ma­jority of the citizens of Dakota, relative to the schemingsof some unscrupulous per­sons who unfortunately have been del­egated with powers that ar e being subsi­dized to individual selfishness. Frank Pettigrew is far from a subdued light. His two years rest, or more properly, relief from political duties, will serve to acquaint the thousands who will yet do him honor with the fact that his services are needed and will be demanded at the appropriate time in the arrangement and management of territorial and state matters. Many who last fall fought his aspirations, now express warmly their regret at their course and denounce in unmeasured terms the prime movers in the scheiuo that resulted in his temporary defeat. No man can truthfully deny that our ex-dele^ate has not earnestly and truthfully labored for the interests of Dakota, and a hearty appreci­ation will be manifested through public expression before he is many years older. Curt Winsor well said in the course of his remarks: "The people of the territory did themselves great injustice iu failing to return him there. In some of the work which he undertook he did not have that support which would have assured success, but now the feeling is almost uni­versal that it the festering ulcer, of which he has been trying to rid the territory, cannot be removed by allowing nature to take its course, then let the most heroic surgery be adopted.-'

In another column will be found a call signed by prominent men of Sioux Falls, headed by ex-Delegate Pettigrew, for a meeting to be held at that place next week. The object of this gathering is stated in the call. The Daily Press in the course of a leading editorial says: "Sioux Falls has, ever since the ball first opened more than two years ago, been recognized as headquarters of the opposition to the Ordway, and it is therefore highly proper that there should be originated the nr.-t crystalized movement, against theiniquity of which he was the grand-mogul and high-iiiuck-a-inuck. There is abroad in this territory enough sentiment to send the whole rotten scheme to the hell in which it belongs, but in order for this sentiment to be effective it is necessary that there be some definite plan devised and concert of action secured.'

The Press sugge-ts several ways in which a fight might be made, but says "the most feasible method for combatting tha shameful project seems to be the condem­nation thereof so presistently and so for­cibly and so unitedly that no investor will feel safe in putting a dollar into the town-lots the sale of which is about the only way the syndicate have for making the deal worth its attention. If the public sentiment be fully and pointedly express­ed, it will be impossible for the projected capital c-ity to secure any such boom as is necessary foi the purposes of those con­cerned in it, and the wh-lie scheme will flatten out. If this boom can be prevented and the swindle thus nipped in the bud simply by the power of public opinion, it will be it more potent indication of the in­tegrity of Dakota's people than would be the case if the scheme were defeated by

any other method.

There has been a good deal said about the new nickel 5-cent coins being illegal because they do not bear on face or ob-rerse the word '"cents." The law which authorizes this coin makes the require­ment, as most of the laws in regard to various United States coins do. But at the mint the law was not studied so close­ly as the general ta^tefullness of appear­ance and convenience of making. The result was the oversight that has provok­ed so much comment. The real fact is that but one coin, the double eagle, con­forms to the law of its being. All the rest either omit or vary the features pre­scribed for them by congress. The 3 cent piece is most notable of our present currency. It neither trusts in God, nor tells whether it is three cents or three

dollars.

Postmaster-General T. 0. Howe died Sunday at Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the state where he had Earned so many of the distinquished honors of his long public career. The Senator's last hours were spent in the home of his nephew, CoL James H. Howe, who has been his near­est friend for years. The funeral took place in Green Bay, Judge Howe's home ever since he came to Wisconsin, and he was buried beside his faithful wife, who died two years ago. The death ot Judge Howe has caused a cessation of festivities in Washington, and th« various depart­ments were closed Monday. The succes­sion in the postal department is wholly

uncertain.

"Whisky in 3ond.'' Attached to every distiller}- is a ware­

house of which the government, through a United States storekeeper, takes ex­clusive charge. On every door is a patent "government lock," and the storekeeper keeps the keys. At the end of the warehouse, nearest the distillery proper, is partitioned off the "cistern room" that contains tanks, into which the whisk}' runs direct from the still. From these tanks it is drawn off into barrels in the presence of the store­keeper and the United States Gauger. The barrels so filled are rolled into the other portion of the warehouse, and a "warehouse stamp," bearing the date of the distillation, is aliixea to each. The whisky thus barreled can, under the revenue laws, remain in this ware­house under government lock and key for three years. Then the whisky is said to be "in bond." At the expira­tion of the three years the tax of ninety cents per gallon must be paid on the original quantity of whisky in the bar­rels, as shown by the gauge when it was barreled, less two-and-a-half gallons per barrel per annum allowed for evapora­tion and shrinkage. Then a tax-paid stamp is put on each barrel, and a brand, with the name of the distiller, the number of the district, and the date of the payment of the tax, is burned in the head'— Cincinnati Commercial.

In the Arctic Begions. The Views and Experiences of Gilder, who An­

nounced the Loss of the Bodgers.

W. H. Gilder, the Herald correspond­ent, who crossed Siberia in sledges to carrv the news of the burning of the Rodgers, arrived in Ne w York on Wed­nesday. He doesn't look as though he had undergone some of the severest hardships that ever befell a man. He says, however, that he is not very well —that the horse he ate on the journey had not been well fed, and didn't agree with him. To us, who sat yesterday and the day before around roaring fires, it seems impossible that a man could live iu such a climate is he had been in for the past year. But even that was not as bad as the year he was with Schwatka on the other side. It is not a little singular that Mr. Gilder, when at home is the most luxurious of men in his way of living. is so particular about his food, that m> matter how hun-

frv he may be, lie would rather wait an our and have it prepared in a

certain way. than to sit down and eat it if prepared carelessly. He won't drink a cup of coffee unless the bean has been roasted and ground since he ordered it, and he will go into the kitch­en of a restaurant and give the chcf exact orders how to grill a kidney or fry a dish of whitebait. He would rather go without the whitebait than eat it if one of the tiny fish happened to get broken. I have known him -to have been an hour making a salad dressing. Yet he can rough it as no man I ever met. When lie was in King William's land with Schwatka and during this last journey he lived on blubber and frozen seal. I heard him say to-day that the nearest he ever came to apoplexy from too high living was on Wrangle Land. They had a good Italian cook on the Rodeers, and plover were to bo had for shooting, so they lived as well as they could have in Paris or New York. The plover were the size of pigeons, and as fat as though they knew the Ilod<£er3 was coming and prepared themselves for the slaughter. But after the Rodgers was burned all the stores were lost, and on the journey across Siberia the fare was pretty bad; and, what was worse to a fastidious man, it was not clean; but it was eat that or starve. The frozen seal was piled up in a corner of the hut and was sat upon and slept upon by the entire family. When they were hungry they broke a piece off and ate it. Mr. Gilder says the fat was very warming, and the fur was not bad when it was frozen hard, but when it rose up and tickled tho throat it was anything but; pleasant. I asked him if he did not sutler a great deal from these privations, and he said that the hard­ships themselves were not so bad, that it was the mental worry that told on him. The native he had as a guide was a bad fellow, and was constantly trying to desert him, in which case lie would have perished in th-i wilderness. It was necessary to watch the man night and day, and" Mr. Gilder slept so light­ly (so as to hear the rascal if he moved in the night) that when he got up the next morning he was far from being re­freshed. And yet Mr. Gilder wants more of this life, and would go back to-morrow if there was any expedition going out.—N. Y. Cor. Philadelphia liccord.

A Canadian Frontier Town. Whoop Up is a town in Canada, on

the border of civilization. It was orig­inally what is called in the northwest a "whisky stockade," t ut lias lately grown into something of a village. The stock- , ade was built by men who had a prac­tical knowledge of Indian fighting and trading. It inclosed three acres, and the buildings were of heavy logs, with openings only on the inner square. The business consisted of buying skins from the Indians and paying for them as much as possible in whisky. The In­dians would lill themselves full of the reduced high" ines of adulterated whis­ky of the traders, and, when they were fighting drunk, would be enticed outside of the wall. Then the gates were shut, and the savages were left to fight out their fury among themselves. Next day the thrifty traders went out to bury the dead, succor the wtjunded, and drive away the rest. "I never get drunk my­self when I trade whisky with the In­juns," says David Akers, the present owner, who considers himself a reform­er of the old methods, "so of course I can watch its effects on them, an' as soon as I see one gettin' a leetle too much I put more water in his licker. I

five it to the critters weak enough to egin with, but the second cup is allers

weaker'n the fust. But I never kick 'em out or refuse to give 'em a drink as long as they have anything to trade. I never kick 'em out anyhow, and I sel­dom refuse 'em a drink. Ye see, after they get so fur I just give 'em good, pure water out o' the river, but I never refuse 'em. They like me, too, cozthey don't heve a headache next morning.— I jist keep them feeling good and rich, and jolly, but they never get drunk enough to hurt one another, or cut, shoot on my whisky. No, sir-ee not as long as there's good water in the river."

Women Who Worked• Belle C. Green, daughter of a mill-

owner at Nashua, writes that mill girls of that and other New England manu­facturing cities have changed completely within twenty years. Those who worked in Lucy Larcom's day are now, in many instances, matrons presiding over ele­gant homes, the pride and ornament of what Miss Green calls "our best so­ciety." A woman of position in Nashua, over 50 years old, who never worked iu the mills, is an exception. The hands in the old times came from the farms of M sw Hampshire and Vermont, but now are almost wholly French Cauadians, of far less intelligence and scarcely any education. Snuff-taking is common among them. Although the character of the female operatives nas degenerated, according to this authority, more is done for their moral and temporal wel­fare thau used to be. The factory boardine-houses, where they are lodged and fed for $2.50 a week, including washing, are clean, roomy, and respect­ably conducted, while the table fare is remarkably abundant for the price.
