The Load that Killed PeltOn.

A Washington dispatch says A demo-
cratic editor of this city, who has spared no
effort since 1877 to defeat the aspirations of
Tilden, has been passing a few days in New
York. There he says, he met one of the
most eminent democrats of the State, who
formerly was verv intimate with Tiden and
his friends. This gentleman maintained,
with much feeling, that the late Col. Pelton
suffered for the sins of his uncle, Mr.. Tilden,
and that he was driven to his grave by the
which he could not deny the published state
ments about his knavery without duplicating
his uncle, who had determined upon a renom-
nation. The defender of Pelton is reported
as follows:

he accused his luckless nephew with futile

Pelton had nothing except what Tilden gave
him, was nothing except what Tilden made

him with the idea that he must shoulder the
ignominv of the ciphers. in order to protect
his chances for denomination. Pelton felt
that he was making a sacrifice of himself to
save his unrle's canse and he hoped that nv

After referring to the great change which
took place in Pelton during the last four yea 3
of his life. the gentleman declared that Til

and bribery from Oregon to Florida. and ran
his own machine. Col. Pelton. according to
this gentleman, was firmly convinced in
April last that his uncle would he renominat-
ed. and looked forward to that denomination
as the thread on which hung his hope of life.
The other day a rough-looking man stepped
into a clothing store in Carson and wanted to
buy suit of clothes. The price was $50,
but after careful examination of the texture
of the goods he declined to purchase at the
figures named and started for the door.

The GARDEN OF ALASKA.

- A.
The second division, which | have called
the Yukon. has been less explored than either
of the others. There were formerly a few
Russian posts in the Territory, but these

many points on the Yukon river, sufficient
grass is found to afford the best of fodder
for cattle. and wild berries and smaller
fruits flourish in abundance.
The range of the thermometer at dis
lance from the coast. is far greater than
in Sitka, or near the sea-line. and the sum-
mers are so warm as to produce the most
luxuriant vegetation. On the Yukon river
the sun has been known in the month of
July to burst spirit thermometer. graduated

these points, and there is said to be good gSSe-
ing land for cattle. Ii will of course be nee
essary TO shelter the herds during more than
half of the wear. and fsttening for market
will not therefore be profitable. Fruit trees
will not flourish. and while some experiments
have been made with barley and oats, which
are said to have been satisfactory. not
grain of wheat has ever been brought tn
maturity South of the Alaskan ranye save
at Cooks inlet. and on the pelinsulas there
is no good land and north of the mountains
only persistent and careful cultivation will
enable the farmers to reap satisfactory results.

The Southern Plan to Prevent Frauds,

The following letter is published
in the New York Nation:
To the Editor of the Nation:
The most certain and cffectual
way to bring this about is to elect
Hancock. The Southern whites fear
Republican ascendcncy because they
think the Republicans would be
willing to remand them to negro
rule to perpetuate their power. Re
move this apprehension by change
of administration, and there could
not fail to be a disintegration of
parties as they now stand. The
whites would then divide, and then
the negroes would also divide, and
the elections would be more fairly
conducted. 1t was a great mistake
to confer the franchise upon the ne
groes indiscriminately. The mass
Iof them are wholly unfit for such a
trust. The presence of hopeless ig-
norance as factor must necessarily
degrade our politics, especially as
they can never blend with the whites
as one people. As long, however,
as the color line is forced upon us as
the leading political issue, the whites
must be expected in some way to be
masters of the situation, and any
strategy needed to effect this will be
considered as justitiable as similar
strategy between belligerents in time
of war. J. II. II.

There are men living i'll Kanawha

do much to shape public sentiment
in their respective neighborhoods,
that have carefully prepared lists of
their slaves, with their names, ages,
value and time they parted with
them, accompanied with the names
of the persons they expect to use as
witnesses when the time comes for
them to make out their claim against
the Government. These statements
are treated with rs much care as if
they were Government bonds, and
in certain sense they are as desira-
BILE, for the holder expects them to
be paid at MATURITY. e., when the
Democratic party gets control of the
Federal Government. You urge the
constitutional amendment as bar
to these claims and these men at

these amendments were Illegally

into power we will have this kind Of

his chances of success in these ma

for the average man to ascertain.
And just for information we would
ask some one to tell us what that
gentleman has done in what man.
ner has he served the district to en-
title him to the coveted position.
Is he man of intellect, or executive
ability? Is he known for serving
the interest of the people rather than
self? If so, reports seem conflicting.
There is much of Importance con-
corning the people of this district, to
be settled this winter, and what we
want is some able man to attend the
interest of the district. And by the
way is Brown county the only county
in the district that can furnish the

If you have not got place in
which to shelter your farming ma
chinery, and feel too poor to build a
framed structure, an excellent and
inexpensive substitute can be had in
the form of a good straw shed,
which any farmer can build. Farm
machinery is altogether too expen-
sive to waste by exposure the entire
year to the action of the weather,
yet it remains 4 fact that throughout
Minnesota more machinery rusts out
than wears out by use in thefield. This
should not be so; and unless there is
a great change for the better in the
quality of our crops, it must cause
disaster to the one who is guilty of
the negligence. Unless we have a
