AFTER MANY DAYS.


crat, Mrs. Myra Kellogg, eldest daugh-
ter Of the late Simeon Kellogg and
sister of NJ. H. Kellogg, who fell be-
side Gen. Custer on the Little Big
Horn, was married in this city to Thur
man j. Sanford, who represented Green
county in our Legislature in 1852, and
who, in the year above named, re-
moved to the promising village of La
Crosse. The next spring, however,
the young people moved down into
Iowa and settled on farm, and sew
eral years since moved into Dakota.
he was an honest, hard-working man,
but never succeeded in accommodating
much of this worlds riches. Four
years since, just after the evening
meal had been eaten, a dirty, ragged,
footsore tramp called at his house and
begged for something to eat, saying
he was on his way to California, but
had had hard luck, having been taken
sick after starting. Mr.. Stafford made
him welcome, and his wife went to
Work and cooked supper for the fel-
low. After partaking of the meal pre-
pared, they allowed him to remain
over night, and, lecoming interested
in the stranger, he was entertained
for a week, during which time he re-
cuperated his health, and then, bid
ding them good by, started for Califor-
MIA. Two months since, the stranger,
who. during his four years absence in
California had "struck it rich," came
back to Dakota and inquired out his
old entertainers, and, in disguise,
again spent the night under Mr.. Saf
ford's roof. The tramp was particu-
lar to inquire into the circumstances
OF Mr.. Stafford, and was told by that
gentleman that he had plenty of hard
work to do, but very little money"
The next morning the tramp departed
without making himself known, and
the conversation and incident had been
forgotten, when Mr.. and Mrs. Stafford
received by mail a sealed package,
which contained deed of one of tie
finest farms in their neighborhood,
having a good house and barn, stock,
horses, wagons, agricultural imple
ments, and everything compl- te, which
was accompanied by an explanatory
letter, stating that he wished them to
accept the deed of the farm, which he
had purchased especially for those
who had divided with him in need, and
treated him kindly when footsore and
poor, and assured them that he was
the tramp they had entertained years
before. Volumes could not say more,
and Mr.. aud Mrs. Saff)rd are now en-
joying tie gift of the stranger.

The idea that the army OF tramps that is
sweeping over the West are poor fellows solic-
ting work which souless monopolles and
heartless capitalists steadily refuse them should
certainly be dlspeled by the fact that farmers
in Iowa, where these pests have recently been
30 troublesome, cannot get men to help through
harvest for wages varying from 81 so to 50 50
per day and board. Tbs fact should cause
even sentimental philanthropists to bottle
ther Tears and uncork their Indignation against
thriftIsss vazraDt class that seeks to evade
all responsibility and live off the bounty of
others not because they are unable to work.
but because they are unwilling. They seem to
have convinced themselves that the world owes
them living. and IN pursuance OF this idea
they demand free rides. free lodgings, and free
food at the hands of industrious individuals or
enterprsing corporations The truth is, they
are constitutionally opposed to and seek in
every way to evade the primal curse, I'm the
sweat OF Thy face shalt thou eat bread" This

The Caucus system.

The Caucus SDsteDi.
system have long been the theme Of public and
private discussion; and the impression is fast
gaming control OF the public mind that the
system must be abandoned. II the abuses can
not be corrected the system ought to be aban-
doned; but we see no reason to change the
opinion, often expressed in these columns. that
a perfect remedy for all the abuses complained
OF lies ready to the hand of those who are fore
most in making complaint. That remedy is to
attend the caucuses Every one of the evils
that caucus is charged with is traceable to the
persistent refusal OF the best and most re-
sponsible men in both parties to attend them
On election day, il not too busily employed in
their private business, the citizens referred to
come to the polls and spend large part OF the
time they sacrifice in denouncing the nomina
tons, not only Of their opponents but OF their
own party Yet they take no interest what
ever In making good nominations or seeing
that good ones are made. There has scarcely
been ward caucus in Detroit for years where
the voters in the ward with the least at stake
did not out number those really and vitality In
terested in the welfare OF the ward and the
party and in seeing that good nominations
were made five TO one. A certain portion OF
these interested ones, indeed, pride themselves
upon never going near caucus" and speak
OF it as something degrading even while they
grumbe because the work OF the caucus is not
better done. How they expect it to be better
done when those chiefly interested in having IL
so done deliberately absent themselves and re-
fuse to aid IN the work is mystery.
In theory the caucus system is all light. II
contemplates an assembling of all the party
voters in a ward or township, a candid consul
tation, harmonizing of views where views
differ, an honest ascertaining Of the majority
will and cheerful acquiescence therein by the
minority. III the practice can be made to &C.
cord with the theory the system is as good q
one as can be devised; but the practice never
can be made to accord with the theory 30 long
as the business is left to a mere handful, and
those by no means representative men. 1t is
not worth sustaining if 1t is simply to be what
it too often is-an instrument OF bad or I'm.
worthy men who desire to foist themselves
upon an unwilling party.

THE "NATIONAL" CANVASS.

The revised list OF the Greenback papers Of
Michigan as published in the Wyandotte
Courier, contains the name OF the Wayne
County Tldings. The last issue Of the Things

And in the Dearborn correspondence OF the

The idea OF land limitation meets with particu-

These statements meet the facts in the case
precisely. Many men, who were originally in

The calamity which overwhelmed the
city Of Minneapolis, Minn., Thursday
of last week. was one of the largest
which has ever happened. An immense
flour-mill, one of the largest, if not the
largest in the world, is, without word
of forewarning, without a sign that
would indicate its coming ruin, dashed
in'o fragments by an explosion tor
which no reasonable cause is given
Two other mills followed, like an echo,
in the wreck, and crumbled into debris
under the same cause. Fire completed
this work of devastation by the destruc-
ton of three other mills and large
number OF shops and lumber yards. The
number of lives lost is placed by the
latest accounts, at eighteen, and rough
estimate makes the value of the property
destroyed 81 100000, or $2,0U0.0O0. The
effects of this explosion were disastrous
to property in the heighborlood, and
shook the earth and the air for miles
away. The cinders from the burning
buildings fell over st Paul, about ten
miles below Miunearc:s. The surmise
is that it was the result of the ignition
of gas generated by the middleings-
purifiers. If a gas with such explosive
force can be produced by the operation
of grisl mills those mills become one OF
the most dangerous, though necessary
industries of the country. 1t is proba-
bic however, that investigation will show
the origin of the accident to be some
thing other than the generation OF this
new and terrible explosive force. Min
neapolis, in this calamity which has sent
death among her people and destruction
to her great industries, will have the
heartiest sympathies of the people of
the whole country.
