GIN. GARFIELD,S LETTER.

Geu. Ga16eld's letter of acceptance is out
at last and appears in this issue of the
GLOBE. So far as the effort of its produc-
ton is concerned we can see no reason why
it should not have appeared long since. 1t
is begun in lonesome sort of manner, being
addressed to the chairman of the defunct
Chicago convention, and timidly intimates
that MIR. Hoar must have been awaiting with
anxiety some information on the subject.
The letter is chiefly reoapitulation of
the Chicago platform. The bulk of it, in
fact, is the actual recital of the platform.
This is probably the safest way to appear to
say something and still say nothing. Upon
the Chinese question Gen. Garfield is evil
IDENTIFY at loss to speak. The vote of the
Pacific States stares him in the face on the
one hand, and his record in behalf of well
coming all corners, including the Chinese, on
the other. he accordingly falls back on
Congress and thinks that body will properly
dispose of the conundrum.
The document appears to be inspired with
constant fear that the writer may slop
over, and is painfully restrained for man
who has been in the habit of expressing
himself upon public affairs with freedom.
1t will not add either to the literary or po-
lititical reputation of its author.

Northwest Iowa Crops.

An eastern gentleman of farming expert
ence who journeyed last week through
Lyons, Osceola, Sioux and Plymouth coun-
ties, Iowa, after declaring that he never saw
such fine body of land as comprises Lyons
county, said that the wheat fields of all that
section were looking well. He did not see
any sickly looking leaves on the wheat plants
except in few instances in Osceola county.
The fax fields were locking very nicely.
Corn stood full with no vacant hills, and of
a healthy color. Rye cutting had began and
the yield appeared to be good. The barley
Jwas looking well, and would be ready for
harvest this week. All in all, he thinks the
farmers of that section of Iowa are doing
exceedingly we'll.

ATTORNEY GENERAL DEvENs has already
set his outrage mill to grinding. He in
forms the country that he has advices from
the South which go to prove that the Rspub-
licans will not be permitted to organize or to
condust an active campaign, and that he will
not be able to appoint federal bulldozers as
usual, because of the fact that the Republi-
cans fear that they might be hurt if they
attempt to carry out the plans emanating
from Washington. Mr.. Devens may have
the "advices" he alludes to, but he knows,
if he is not fool, that the statements have
been manufactured out of whole cloth, and
have no foundation in fact. They are con-
cooted for effect upon the voters of the
North, and for no other purpose.

A Rival Of DR.. Carver.

One of the passengers by the Bald Eagle
yesterday, from Dubuque, was Capt. j. w.
French, oftener called Wild Jim, who is said
to have been a hunter on the plains Of the
west since he was boy IL years old, or for
about IL years, and who is famous rifle
shot. On the way up Capt. French gave a
fine exhibition of his skill to the passengers
of the Bald Eagle and Minneapolis, which
two boats came in company. First he broke
% out of 80 glass balls thrown in air. Then
with his rifle pointed backwards over his
shoulder, he broke two balls reflected in q
mirror held in front of him. And then he
hit each of four apples, thrown with force,
and one of which was thrown directly to-
wards him. Remembering that this was on
q steamer in motion, and shaking as river
steamers do, the shooting appears the more
remarkable, and indicates that Capt. French
may prove at least the equal of Dr.. Carver,
whose skill was SO much admired here.
Capt. French, who has taken rooms at the
St. Nicholas, will probably remain here long
enough to become acquainted with some of
our sportsmen, and may give public exhi-
ton in or near st. Paul.

A Free-for-AlI Fight.

A st. Paul gentleman who visited Sioux
City last week, tells of an elegant fight that
occurred near there while he was in the city,
between party of English settlers on one
side and party of Texas cowboys on the
other. The Englishmen were going home
from q racing meeting when the cowboys
purposely obstructed their road with a
prairie schooner and pair of ungaining
mules. One Of the Englishmen led the
mules off the road into ditch and was
knocked down by one of the cowboys with
q blow from the butt end of his big whip. A
general fight ensued which was renewed in
the evening, eight or ten on side. OF course
the Englishmen got the worst Of the fight,
for though they used their fists manfully and
often send their opponents to grass, the
blarsted cowboys got in the hardest blows
with their dubbed whips.

Happily the situation is such that there is

prises the essential parts Of the old time
hand engines, without cover or box, and is
mounted on wheels for being drawn by
hand, 1t is accompanied by small hose
reel on wheels, one length of suction pipe
and several lengths of hose. The pistons
are six inches in diameter, with eight or ten
inch stroke. The brakes are jointed, so that
the machine when not in use occupies little
space. The counterpart of this engine and
its adjuncts was forwarded last week to De-
