STILL THEY COME.

FRIEND KILLER: AS the time ap-
proaches for our return to Minnesota
we feel very anxious to see others come
also. Three young men have already
started, and quite a number Of good
carpenters and other mechanics are anx-
ious to settle along the line of the road
between WorthingtOn and Sioux Falls,
provided they can find claims and get
work through the spring and summer.
Can you publish any information such
N anxious seekers after homes can rely
on? A very heavy immigration will
come to Southwestern Minnesota from
all parts Of this State. Thousands
more would come but can not sell nor
raise means. we expect to land in
WOrthington about April l.
Yours truly,
II. HIEsTAND.
We are glad to learn from the above
that DR.. Hiestand is about to return to
this county, and also to learn that
thousands more from Wisconsin are
looking to these beautiful prairies for
future homes. In answer to the Doc
tors question, we will say that it is not
possible to assure each individual of !,
claim and OF steady employ nent from
the start. But we can assure all that
claims are still to he had in the north
west corner of this county and that
there is still a large amount Of vacant
land in Pipestone county and in the
country north Of Sioux Falls. AS to
work, the railroad is being extended
and this will give employment to Il
largenumbere Of men; hundreds of set.
tiers are coming in who will need
houses and considerable building is 60
ing on in all the towns, giving employ
mentto carpenters, plasterers, etc. while

We do not hesitate to say that any in.

find abundance of work at fair wages
from this time until winter sets in.

AN UNwARRANrABLE ACTION.


In answer to request Of the citi-
zens of Portland Secretary MeCrary
has telegraphed to them that q iron
already has more arms than she il en-
titled to. The people of that State
are justly indignant, and say the
Government should not allow the In
dams to go war. One argument is
just as reasonable as the other. Any
section that is entitled to protection
from the Government should . sup
piled with arms when they agree to
go and assist the small army. If
there were enough soldiers to sup
press hostilities the answer from the
Secretary would not look so bad, but
there are not, and Until volunteers are
equipped aud sent against the red
devils numbering and plundering will
not cease. The quota of arms grant
ed to Oregon before the war was
small. Certainly the claims of hu-
mainly and the protection of defense
less settlers, has high claims
on the Government, which it is not
only dishonol able, but shame and a
disgrace to refuse, Mr. McCrary,
who is a disgrace to the high position
he occupies, is kind enough to inform
the people of Oregon that the war is
not in their State, but in Washington
Territory, Had there not been dan.
ger the request for arms never would
have been made, and to say that the
danger is in Washington Territory
shows utter ignorance of the geog-
raphy of the exposed localities. Men
who are willing to risk their lives in
protecting their neighbors should re
ceive the necessary arms and equip
ments, We hope Mr.. &cCrary will
see the folly of his Ways and govern
himself accordingly, and save his
hands from being stained with the
blood of energetic pioneers and their
defenSeleSS wives and children.

THE INDIAN WAR.

The Idian war situation appears tc
be assuming more alarming aspect
as it progresses. The people of Eas
tern Oregon and Southern Washing
ton are wild with excitement and fee
ing from their homes. There are SC
many conflicting rumors adoat that il
is difficult to get at the true situation
Notwithstanding there is good deal
of exaggeration the war is serious
affair, both for the army and the great
Northwest. The hostiles have q
large scope of country over which to
mans1ver and murder defenseless set,
tiers, and it is impossible to end the
war in any short space of time, and
perhaps not this season, unless things
take q new turn. Col. Bernard is do

quate to cope with the vastly superb
or numbers of Indians, in country
with which they are perfectly fami[
lar, The Government made q great
mistake by not employing volunteers
Immediately after the outbreak. The
Banuocks, who were without help
from other tribes, could have been
whipped, or held in check till the ar
rival of sufficient force to crush them.
A few volunteer companies were Or

were only about sixty-fve available
men at Fort Boise at the time of the
outbreak, and until the arrival OF
troops from other Territories and
States the Indians had full possession
of the Snake river lava beds and 9TH
er formidable positions. During all

The South Carolina Elections
DE mOcraIic state nle ents.
From the n. Y. Herald. to-day.

II IoIl lht ~ 4 it-hdys
So little has been heard from the demo.
cratic side conserving the recent election
IN South Carolina, and so much from the
republicans, that we have thought it due
to justice and gratifying to the American
love of fair play to PRINT The letters from
prominent South Carolina democrats
which appear el-ewhere. They concern
manly the counties of the FIRST Congress
sional district (Rainey'sl, and a peru al
OF them will convince cardid readers at
leas' that there are two sides to the story
of the election. The rtasons given for
Mr.. kainey's unpopularity among the
colored people are quiet sufficient to ac-
count for his defeat, and the fact that
the republican party was so disorganized
that IL ran no State ticket and no CON
plete county tickets In many of the coun-
| ties, that in some counties it wo
Congressional tickets, that Mr.. Rainey
| did not make canvass or put IN an ap
| pearance even in several Of the counties,
makes 1t easy to understand why n a
district where there was preponder-
| auce of negro voters it is yet not neces.
sary to accept fraud and intimidation as
the only means to account for the defeat
of the republican candidate.
The letters we print are from promi.
neut and responsible citize Ms and are
written in a moderate tome and good
spirit. They appear to us worthy OF
credit and IN any case the republican
) politicians who claim they were defeated
by fraud will have to prove their asser
, tions. lfthere was intimidation or fraud
they ought to be exposed and the
authors punished but ifjudicial inquiry
should prove that The republican poll
ticians of South Carolina have asserted
untruths or grossly exaggerated, publ,
opinion will punish them as contempt

ANOTHER EFFORT 10 CHEAT THE

ANOTHER EFFORT TO CHEAT THE
PEoPLE.-It is said that bill will be
offered, after the meeting Of Congress, to
make the silver dollar heavier. Every
grain added 10 the dollar above 4l23 is
just so much money added to the horrid
cheat-the public debt, which the people
were made to incur by the want of
craftsmanship, and afterward werecheated
into promising to pay more than they had
contracted for. This proposed bill, as
published in the papers, Is scandalous
fraud. Silver is used in France and
England as money to-day just as 1t was
ten OF twenty years ago. Neither nation
having changed the quantity of silver in
their coins, because of the asserted
cheapness of bullion. When the holders
of gold bullion are chatged for its coinage
into money at our mints as the holders
Of silver are charged now, the gold dol
lar will be worth no more than the pre-
sent standard silver dollar. Let Con-
gress order the mints to refuse to coin
gold for nothing, and charge for coming
it at precisely the same tate that they
now charge for coming silver or TO buy
gold bullion and coin it as they now buy
silver bullion. Gold is enhanced in
value by its coinage and use as money.
There can be no doubt of this.

THE North American offsets Senator
Wallace's arraignment Of the Republi-
cans for election frauds in the North, by
reminding him that "the Democrats
cheated the Republicans in Pennsylva-
MIA wherever they had the chance" The
venerable but sprightly organ should bear
in mind that the Democrats haven't had
a chance to cheat the Republicans for
many years, and it is probably growing
nonotonous for Senator Wallace and his
friends to find the bulk Of cheating
against them for half lifetime. If the
Thing can't be stopped, how would it do
to equalize it in some way by arbitration,
say by an Electoral Commission or some
thing of that sort ?-Times.

FINANCIERs ON A FRoLIC.

The members OF the New York Ex-
change had their annual Christmas frohc
on Tuesday, and a lively frohc they
made Of IL. Two policemen were

only four minutes. Then jubilee COM

took place which was participated in by

a total change. This is by the introduc-
ton of bombs discharged horizontally,
instead of shot from common cannon.
So certain are those who have turned
their at ention to this subject that the
change must take place, that, in France,
they are already specializing on the
means of excluding these eslructive
missiles from ships sides, by casing
them in cairass of iron.
"Nor are these ideas the mere offspring
of idle speculation. Experiments have
been tried on hulks, by bombs projected
horizontally, with terrible effect. If the
projectile lodged in a mast, in exploding
it overturned it with all its yards and
rigging; if in the side, the ports were
opened into each other; or when near
the water, an immense chasm was open
ed causing the vessel TO sink immedi-
ately. If it should not explode until it
fell spent upon the deck, beside doing the
injury of an ordinary ball, it would then
burst, scattering smoke, fire and death
on every side. When this comes to pass
1t would seem that the naval profession
would cease to be very desirable"
We want our American boys to feel
proud of the navy and we have therefore
hastily thrown together the remarks that
precede the above account from the En-
cyclopedia, and elsewhere publish an ac-
count Of the remarkable battle between
the "Wasp" and the "Frolic."
