grasp the idea Of civilization, but they
are in n helpless minority. The moral,
industrial and social condition of the
South is as deplorable as the condition
of men can become, and it is only solid
in its hostility to work and hostility to
the plainest and simplest rights Of man.
1t appears that some remarks in
little Mississippi country newspaper has
been the red rag to arouse this ire.
We will quote the writer's own words:
"To hear such language from scribblcr
who cannot pay his colored washwoman
for whitening one shirt a month and
coming from land whose idceness,
poverty, and vice are so great that the
negroes are cmigrating by thousands,
to free State, that they may find work
to do and food to cat, should not excite
ALARM"
If so worthy of contempt. why sound
the alarm so vigorously, and why add
of the whole South at has war daily.
1t has murdered the Christian family.
1t has Just killed in Frankfort noble
and great judge. 1t offers few negroes

There is good deal more abuse, but
all in the raw head and bloody bones
style. A bitter unreasonable hatred is
visible in every line, the more singular
to us as the writer of whom we know
good deal is a genial gentleman of
broad charity, and has hitherto been
kindly and unprejudiced in all his re-
marks on Southern affairs. 1t only goes
to show how strong the popular voice at
the North is against lis.
1t is bad enough to be stigmatized as
a race of barbarians, bnt when we are
accused of the murder of the Christian
family 1--WE wonder what the man means,)
and of offering up negro daily on our
bloody affairs, we feel like the Wee

Burglary.

Last Saturday night some unknown
persons entered s. p. Fuller's carpen-
ter shop through a window and took
such tools as they thought necessary
to enable them to break into buildings,
and they then proceeded to NJ. La
fond's store and effected an entrance
through the back door. They then
arranged bolts Of cloth around the safe
SO as to smother the seuud Of blasting
it open with POWDER and BY: exploding.
powder in the key hole they succeeded
in getting the safe open, and they took
the money contained in it. Fortunate
ly there were only about twenty doll
lars in it. They then proceeded to
Rhodes Il Wetzars store, and entered
a room at the rear of the building
through q window, after which they
made an effort 70 pry the partition
door open in order to get into the store
where the safe was standing. This
they did not accomplish, as they evi>
IDENTIFY took fright 1t something and
ran aw.sy. Rhodes & Wetsel's
clerk was sleeping il the store, but
did not hear them..1sA couple Of sus>
picious, looking characters were in
town on Saturday, aud are believed to
be the guilty parties. There is rea>-
son for believing that they have gone
north. The suspected persons were
first seen IN town early Saturday morn>
ing. One Of them=ina short, rather
heavy built man, with dark com>
plexion and black mustache. In talk.
ing he speaks rapid j. He wore :
round topped black hat. His part>
ner Is q taller man and rather light
built. These msn left town, going
north, early Sunday morning. Mrs.
Racine, Of Belle Prairie, saw them at
about four o'clock. and they were seen
near Fort Ripley 81 D. 8. Mooers il
the forenoon. They ,are now doubt
less on the line of the Northern p.
cifc. In view Of the small amount
taken from the safe at Mi. Laiond's
store, no effort has been made to cap>'
ture the burglars.

Of Dakota do not contain adequate mining

forward ~ . reason for. separation. We
once more repeat that the mining laws OF
Dakota are almost . literal copy of the best
mining laws Of California, Nevada and Col
orado. They are the result of almost q quar-.
ter Of a century Of experience and are held
to be as near perfection as any enactments
of the west or the east. During the last
session Of the legislature the representatives
from the Hills were permitted to make any
statute changes their constituents demanded
and if the laws are not now satisfactory it is
their own fault. Should the Hills desire to

will not object. We state these few facts
only because they are facts, not for the pur'
