are Of the same nationality. Mr.. Berg
was member of the House three years
ago. Mr.. Birum was formerly, and for
many years, a resident of Redwood Falls
and always regarded as good citizen.
His nomination for the Senatorship is
doubtless surprise to many. We Judge
that in the forlorn hope connected with
the nomination, may be found the reason
for some of the aspiring politicians of
the party stepping aside. We regard
Mr.. B;rum as victimized in the house of
his friends and we regret it.

THE present prospects indicate that the
United States will equip and send out an
other party to explore the northern sea.
The bill before Congress asking an appro-
priation for that purpose has been reported
favorably, and Congress, though much in
elined towards ~economizing, will most prob
ably vote the appropriation. The plans as
proposed is to establish a colony of hardy
men on the shore of Lady Franklin bay.
This bay, it is said, can be reached in the
summer season by steamer. A number of
Esquimaux are to be Unlisted as guides and
hunters, and with the use of dogs and
sleighs it is proposed to explore the frozen
regions. The line between Lady Franklin
bay and Union station is to be connected by
telegraph. From the latter place to the
north pole the distance is only estimated to
be 400 miles. 1t is thought that with the
use of dog sleighs and esquimaux a large
erea of country to the east and west of the
open sea found by the recent explorers can
be traversed and a land route secured
further north. Thu late discoveries of coal
in the northern regions is much priced by
the projectors. 1t makes the fuel supply a
comparatively trifing matter.

The property to be donated consists of
about 100 acres of land and the amply

which are very valuable, yield a large an

that the Legislature of South Carolina will

AS spring approaches the warlike demon
STATIONS of the hostiles become more APP
parent, and the necessity OF more adequate
military protection is every day brought
more wildly to our minds. The policy of
keeping a few scattered Posts in our Terri
tory with a view of marching the g%arrisons
to whatever portion demands their presence
is a bad one. and affords little or no protec-
ton to our frontiers, as the hostiles may
make a dash upon the settlements and be
gone with their booty ere the military can
be aroused. The only way TO guarantee
protection to the country, and ensure its
rapid settlement. is to establish military
Posts in the exposed districts. that their
continued presence may at all times guard
against such raids. The most important
need of the country at present is the estab-
lishment of Posts in Southern and Eastern
Montana. The Bannack Indians of South
ern Montana are inSolent and saucy, and
show signs of an outbreak, and the constant
presence of the military is needed TO keep
them in subsection. On the east the Muscle
hestiles, and there is no adequate military
force near enough to afford any protection
to the lives, property, wives and children of
defenseless settlers Of that section. The
facts, setting forth the necessity of these
Posts, are in the hands of our Delegate, and
we have no doubt he will urge the matter to
the best of his ability.

A Business View.

A few days since a party COM
posed of capitalists and bankers
visited our city and passed over
the railroad to the Newcastle
coal mines and back. All ex-
pressed their surprise at the
amount of the improvements and
the extent of our resources, in
view of the limited amount of
capital invested. It was re-
marked that in comparison with
the Oregon railroads the cost of
our railroad was not to exceed
45 per cent. of the cost of the
latter for the same amount of
work; our road was built by the
people, with their own means
and credit, and the Oregon roads
by foreign capital, borrowed on
bonds sold at large discount and
a considerable portion of the
funds thus raised appropriated
by managers for their own use
and squanderod upon contract
ors. 1t was also observed that
the earnings of the completed
portion Of our road were much
greater in proportion than those
of any railroad in Oregon or
elsewhere with which any Of the
party were acquainted. They
were unanimously of the opinion
that the future prosperity of Sc
attic is assured, and that the
completion of the Seattle and
Walla Walla railroad is only a
question of time. Mr.. Reid, of
the Scotch banking house at
Portland, expressed the unquali-
fed opinion that after the COM
pletion Of the next section of
ten miles, now under way, in the
same manner that the work has
heretofore been prosecuted: the
company would thereafter have
no difficulty in procuring, on
easy terms, all the money neces-
sary to complete the road to
Walla Walla.
This testimony, coming from
disinterested parties SO capable
of ofjudging, is conclusive evidence
of the practicability of this un-
dertaking; but We should take
into consideration, thas with all
these manifest advantages, so
fruitful in results to our town,
success can only be assured by
the active efforts OF those most
interested; that the value Of the
most bountiful crops are never
realized until they are garnered,
and that capitalists rarely invest
in public enterprises the chief
benefits of which accrue to COM
muni,ies or individuals who re-
fuse to contribute to or takeany
risk in the work. 1t is very
difficult to convince outsiders of
the superior advantages of a To-
cal investment in which the cit
lzens of the vicinage decline to
take stock. Our citizens have
incurred incalculablc loss by de-
