All those who have heretofore acted, or nov
desire to affiliate, with the republican party O.
Dakota, are cordially invited to meet intheir re-
spective counties and select delegates to repre-
sent them in this convention.
The attention of republicans is called to the
necessity of nominating candidates for district
attorney in Retrospective districts, and as there
are no district committees, the territorial COM
mittee suggests that the delegates to this conven-
ton be authorized to appoint committees for
their respective districts, to call conventions fol-
this purpose.

COMMERCIAL LAW.

As matter of general interest to the
business public, it would be we'll for some
OF our prominent attorneys to publish a
statement in regard to the effect upon the
commercial laws of kansss, OF the repeal Of
the bankrupt act. Speaking for Missouri,
the St. Louis Republican says:
Now that the bankrupt law has gone out of
existence, there are in this State but two
ways LETT of closing up the business of an in
solvent debtor: one by voluntary assign
ment, and the other by judgment and eAecu-
ton. THERE'S no way OF enforcing dist-ibu-
tion Of any mans assets among bis creditors
and no way of discharging him from his LA
bilities. Neither can a man make an as
signment for the benefit of any particular
creditor or creditors. as many suppos and
could be done under the old State law /;
but an assignment under the present law
must be for the benefit of all The creditors in
proportion to their claims. The law is very
specific in its declarations, and its provisions
are Just and eqitable, the interests of both
debtor and creditor being protected as well
as any human statutes can do. The great
trouble will be found in the diversity of
state laws upon the subject, causing innum-
cradle complications between citizens of the
several states doing business with eaca other,
With the view Of trying to obviate this diff

MIIEAEINIERESIN.

The following in regard to the mutual
interests OF farmers and manufacturers, is
from an old letter written by DIR. Franklin,
while in England:
Every manufacturer encouraged in our
country makes part of market Tor prOvIs-
ions within ourselves and saves so much
money to the country as must otherwise be
expended TO payfor the manufactures in sup
plies. Here in England II is well known and
understood that whenever a manufacture is
established which employs a number OF
hands, it raises the va ne OF land In the neigh
boring country all around IL, partly by the
great demand near at hand FOR the produce
OF the land, and partly from the plenty OF
money drawn by the manufacturers TO that
part of the country. II seems therefore the
interest of all our farmers and owners OF
lands 10 encourage our young manufactures,
instead OF foreign ones imported among US
nom distant countries

however; for before definite knowledge OF
the extent Of the damage to the spring wheat
crop could be known, two great currents OF
grain came rushing forward to market-one
ri corn, in quantities almost without exam
/ le at any time Of the year-and the otter o;
winter wheat, which, wesuppose, IS in guam
titles wholly without example.
In explanation OF the unusually large
eastern shipment Of grain during July and
y lgust OF this year, the G0zste says:
Spring wheat usually forms the great bulk
% the wheat marketed, especially at the
great Western markets, and it hardly seems
To AVE occurred to any one that the supe-
-iorcrop OF winter grain could make up for
any deficiency in the spring wheat. The
crop was not only unusually large and good
but il was unusually early, and this accounts
| partly FOR its coming forward IN such quanti-
| ties in August and even IN July. The move
ment OF the corn, however, is probably chief
| t. due TO the improved prospects Of the ma
turing crop.
The fine growing weather Of July and
August efec,ually dispelled the unfavor-
able corn prospects Of the early part of the
season, ard he indications now all point to
one Of the finest crops ever gathered. Re
ierTing TO this fact the Gazette says:
Iow. from nearly every quarter OF the
West, including those districts where the crop
was said 10 be failure at the end of June
the report is that there is every prospect of a
fine corn crop. Nothing now but an early
frost can prevent IT. Now, this prospect has
a tremendous influence in the marketing oil

freight avenues are buTdened TO their ut

enough, though the rate from Chicago to
New York has been twice advanced. Lake
rates have nearly t-ipled, canal rates have
gone up 30 per cent, numerous vessels that
have been laid up are taking cargoes, and
there is generally great activity in trans,
portation. al this augUrs well for the
Vest. 1t shows that We have something to

"lsARD TINES.-

Trade paper in New York, is responsible
for the statement that the earnings Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company for
the first three weeks of August-eighteen
business days-show an increase of SIS, 900.
1t is claimed for the company that by the
end of the current fiscal year it will be able
TO pay per cent. dividend in addition to
csncelling the debt due for Atlantic and
Pacific Companyis stock purchased about 4
year ago, and amounting TO nearly 81 ,000-

the expenses for the year will equal ST.

that it will in the future be able to pay a
dividend OF at least per cent. on the
amount of capital stock at present out
standing, unless it should be decided to di-
vide the stock now held by the company
among the stockholders of record, in which
case the dividend, it is claimed, will not be
less than 6 per cent.
