who are endcared to US by ties o.

days. besides many with whom our
acquaintance is limited to a lesser pc

Home from Dakntah. -Thesboys

Home from Dak0tah. -Thesboys
are home again after weeks sojourn
in the LAND of the Dakotahs." Phil
Ward, Lara Ward, Geo. Wood and
Billy Jones, some two weeks ago
started to look over the far famed Da
kotah lands, with the intention of
sticking their stakes if a proper op-
portunity offered. The boys returned
last Tuesday week, having traversed
a goodly portion of the state, passing
from Winona via W. & St. P. r.. r.
to Gerry at an expense of only 5000
for railroad fare for the round trip
from Winona. The boys have only
words of praise for the young and
growing state which promises to be-
come one of the grandest in the Union
in a few short years. They invested
somewhat in lands, and probably may
go thither again when propitious
season arrives. The lay of the coun-
try is beautiful, they report soil rich,
and villages and cities thriving. Tim
Der land is an unknown factor in the
make up of the great state, but tree
planting is an industry which, as it is
obligatory upon purchasers. must soon
make portion of the state beautiful
forest. Wood can now be obtained at
$3.50 to $3.50 per cord. Other par
ties are talking of taking a survey of
the promised land"

The Camp-meet ng.-Somctime
during the summer ElI. Ii. w. Decker,
Of Monroe, Wis, visited our city for the
purpose Of ascertaining the facilities
for camp-meetln9. As the result of
the visit we can inform our readers
that such Il meeting will be held by
the Seventh day Adventists, in this
city Sept. 11-17. The foreground
has been obtained for the purpose, and
every means used to make the meeting
success. Persons coming on the e.
b. 4 VI. Il. r. or the Wis. Valley X.
r. can return from the meeting for
one fifth regular fare. Able speakers
rom Michigan and other places VIII
be present to make the meeting Of the
most interesting character possible
As a denomination the Seventh day
Adventists are different from most
other denominations They take the
Bible alone as a creed, rejecting all
others. AS the name Adventist i'm
plies, they are looking for the advent
Of the Saviour, though they do not pc
tend to say how soon. They also OBJ
serve the Seventh day. believing that
it is, and always has been the true
Sabbath. No doubt the people Of our
city and the surrounding country will
avail themselves Of the opportunity of
attending a genuine campmeeting and
become acquainted with the people who
como to stay with US for short time.

A Lost Opporsu - ity.

The Convention of Savings Bank Mama
gers at Saratoga has adjourned alter APP
pointing a committee to prepare plan of
permanent organization, which, together
with the constitution and bylaws Of the
proposed New York State Savings Bank
Association, is to be first submitted to the
several banks Of the State and then consid-
cred in a future convention. The object of
the association is announced to be the
promotion of the welfare, usefulness and Sc
curity of our savings institutions. The con-
vention was not very large one, not more
than forty or fifty persons being in attend
ance. Nevertheless, it lost an opportunity
to do very polite act It's first business
should have been to adopt resolution
denouncing the frauds and robberies that
have been committed by trustees and
officers OF savings banks in this State and
especially in this city, to demand the
severe punishment of such offenders against
the law, and to raise fund for their crimi-
nal and civil prosecution. by such action
the convention would have won the con-
fdence OF the people, and it is only through
this confidence that the welfare of the
banks can be promoted. The recent ex-
posures in relation to the alleged fraudulent
acts of the trustees of the Teutonia Bank
should have received the attention Of the
convention, and demand should have
been made for their indictment by the
Grand Jury if the charges brought against
them prove to be we'll founded. 1t is to
be regretted that q convention of savings
bank managers should have neglected the
opportunity to adopt course which would
have proved its sympathy with defrauded
depositors and have removed the suspicion

General Grants Talks.

With promptness due to the importance
Of the subject our neighbors OF the press
have paid attention to the deeply interest.
ing and piquant series Of table talks with
General Grant which we published on
Wednesday last. They have already
been copied everywhere within
days reach Of New York, and discussion,
complimentary in the main to the good sense
and moderation of the General. has been set
on foot A number of contributions to this
discussion will be found elsewhere. No mat
ter how kindly successful man like Grant
may talk of his fellow soldiers or his mill
tary opponents he is sure to evoke counter
criticism, and it does not surprise us that
the friends of those who have been passed
through mild current of censure should
start up with bluebooks and dispatches
and newspaper clippings in the defence
of those they revere. Thus General
Warren finds warm defenders, but surely
his despatch, quoted elsewhere by friend
and fellow officer, reads like a confirmation
of General Grants words, 'Instoad of obey
ing-and knowing that the power which
was guiding him would guide the others
he would hesitate and inquire and want to
debate" We have no doubt that as the files
of the HERALD reach more distant portions
of the Union fresh defenders of regulations
will arise to champion their favorites
against these quiet bits of criticism. For
the most part We feel sure that the country
will read the great soldiers comments on

are good many honest Texans with cattle
and other things to sell who comprehend
that good big army would quickly enrich
them. But it is not worth while.to 60 to war
with Mexico merely to make trade more
active in Southern and Western Texas, and
it may as well be known down there that
the country does not want war and is not
to be dragged into one by spectators and
adventures. There was a good deal OF
trouble and outrage on the border during
the administration Of President Lerdo ; but
these crimes have almost ceased under
President Diaz, and he is doing his duty in
guarding the border. This is very well
understood in Washington and by the
country at large, and the American people
do not mean to go to war without cause
against friendly sister Republic.
