Pure and Upright.
Don Piatt, in Washington Capital.

DOn fldtt, III washington C0pltal.
Gen. Garfield, personally consid-
cred, is singularly pure and upright.
He is one of the few men in public
life who can look his beautiful little
wife and lovely children in the face
without shame. We say this advis-
edly, for we have known Garfield in
timately all his public life, and we
can advise the mud machine called
partisan papers that attempts at
blackening Garfield's character will
be signal failures, and will be met
by such eminent Democrats as Jere-
miah Black, Allen Thurman and JUS
tice Field, who have already put
themselves on record in his behalf.
Garfield's purity is SO thorough that
it gives him perilous confidence in
men, and has gotten him into trou-
bles precisely as confding boy gets
into scrapes. In that Credit Mobil-
Ter affair, for example, we know, and
have so testified, that at the very
time it was claimed that he was
scheming to enrich himself through
Ames's rascality, he was shining
about Washington trying to borrow
$500 to pay house rent. He has oc-
cupied positions where, like other
leaders, he could have winked him
self into millions. He holds the honr
ored position of being the only poo
man among political leaders.

Glass MiilstDnaS.

The idea of constructing millstones
of glass is said to have originated
from the observation that the finest
flour was produced by those mill
stones which have the most CLASSY
texture; from this observation came
an experiment which demonstrated
that pieces Of glass combined in the
same way as the French buhr, and
similarly grooved on the surfaces,
gave better results in grinding than
the buhr milestone. The outcome of
this successful experiment was the
invention of the glass millstones now
used in Germany with much salts
faction. Respecting their special
merits, they grind easily, and do not
heat the flour as much as is the case
with the French buhr- stone. In
grindingss grits they run perfectly
cold.

St. Nicholas for August is on our
table. A pleasant feature of this
vacation number Of the boys and
girls magazine is the profusely illus
trated article, ga Happy Thought
for Street Children" Besides the
installments of the two serials, by
Louisa NJ. Alcott and Noah Brooks,
there are several complete short sto-
ries. OF these, the most notable are:
"Majorie's PERIL" illustrated by
Nc Cutcheon, true story of a Scot
fish lassie lost among lions in the
bush of Zululand; "The Fox and the
Stork," illustrated by Sheppard, a
tale of boy-life, by Susan Coolidge;
"Why the Black Cat Winked," illus
trated by Brennan, the "Coral Cas-
tle," funny narrative, with six
comic pictures by Hopkins. There
is, also, an illustrated installment of
"The Majors Big-Talk Stories," re-
lating anecdotes concerning two
curious animals,-the Bye-Bye and
the Howis Datforhi. 'sPlacer and
Gulch Mining for Gold" are graph
ically described by Ernest Ingersoll.

We learn from the Pioneer Press
that State Auditor Whitcomb has
been kept very busy of late attend
ing to the sales Of school, internal
improvement and university lands in
the northwestern counties of the
State. In the counties of Wilkin,
Clay, Polk, Stevens, Otter Tail and
Marshall, 32,954 acres have been
sold, for S2O9,9ss, or an average
price of $6.O7 per acre. The rapid
development of the Northwest has
had the effect of bringing the State
lands in that section into active
demand, and the sales are principally
made to actual settlers, who are per-
mitted, if desired, to purchase on
time,
We can see no reason why the
school and internal improvement
lands in Redwood county-of which
there are about 10000 acres-should
not meet with ready sale when
they are placed on the market, as
they undoubtedly will be this fall,
and our county receive some of the
benefits arising from the large immi.
grafton now pouring into this State
and Dakota.

The Same Old Fight.


The burden of the love-song with
which assistant Democratic editors
are wooing the independent voter
seems to be, when translated into un-
emotional prose, "There is no essen
tial difference between the beliefs
und doctrines of the two parties.
The old battle cries are all outworn
or outgrown. Therefore vote for
Hancock and fresh deal, and show
! the world that we are not afraid to
trust the Democracy" TO this seduc-
tive strain it might well be answered,
that even if the party doctrines and
promises were identical, there vet
would remain sufficient reason to vote
for General Gartield-whose com
prehensive knowledge of public af
fairs and whose sound opinions upon
all subjects which the representa-
tives of free government are called
upon to discuss, have been demon
strated by his votes and speeches
during seventeen years of public SER
vice, rather than for man who has
no opinions whatever, so far as any
body has ever heard, and whose op-
portunitics for acquiring any knowl-
edge Of practical craftsmanship have
been of the slendercst, lnasmuch as
his entire life has been spent in a
service the most remote from any
civil duties and responsibilities.
1t could be answered further, that
it can hardly be set down to the
credit of the Democrats that they
have been driven year after year
from one position after another in
which they had intrenched them
selves, until the leading principles
for which the Republican party was
organized have all been so firmly es-
tablished that no one darcs assail
them openly. The Democratic par
ty no longer as an adversary con-
fronts the Republican party, as it
did in 1860, on the subject of slavery,
because the land is freed from the
curse of slavery in spite of Demo
oA"eiN NAAoi 70 w ~ I'Stu't'S l'' AiiSiS
is no longer any question between
the parties, as there was in 1864, rs
to whether the war was a failure
simply because the Nation triumph
ed over the secession of Southern
Democrats. In this way the central
issue Of every political canvass for
the past twenty years could be taken
mp in order with the same result.
There is no open and active differ
ence now between the two parties in
regard to the Constitutional amend
ments, the reconstruction acts, the
taxation of the bonds, or the re-
sumption of specie payments, SIM
ply because the stern logic OF events
has demonstrated that upon these
and other commanding questions
which touched the Nations honor
and safety and its very life, the Re
publican party was radically right
and the Democratic party wal essen
TALLY wrong.

Scribner's for August is the mid
summer holiday number, and shows
the usual profusion of artistic illus
trations noticeable in their holiday
issues. The frontispiece is portrait
of Savanarola, the Florentine re-
former and martyr of the fifteenth
century, and the interesting story of
his life, by Linda Villari, is given in
another part of the magazine. John
Burroughs contributes one of those
breezy outdoor papers, as simple and
wholesome as country air, with the
title s'Our River" 'About England
with Dickens " is the first of series
of papers illustrating places dwclt
upon by the great novelist. "The
Dominion of Canada" "Peter the
Great" and Geo. w. Cables story,
1.-The Grandissimes," are continued.
"a Sketch of American Diplomacy"
"Will the French Republic last ?"
and "The Western Man," the last by
c. ID. Warner, are thoughtful papers.
The usual allotment of poetry, short
stories and sketches helps to make
this charming number.

Hon. Chester A. Arthur's letter of
acceptance appeared in the leading
dailies this week. Among the points
elaborated are the necessity of hon
esty and order in popular elections,
and Of the proper execution of the
laws of Congress, which the Demo
cratic party in power has attempted
to overthrow. The letter reviews
the Legislation of the past few years,
and calls attention to the dangers
that would result from return of
the South to power, and among them
the enormous drains that would be
made upon the public treasury in an
swcring claims preferred by the for
mer enemies of the Union.

A late Washington special to tn,

A late Washington special to the
Pioneer Press states that Demo
crat, prominent in the campaign of
1915, says Col. Pelton died a scape-
goat for his uncle. The gentleman
then went on to say that it was per-
fectly understood among the mana
gers that Col. Pclton had simply
acted for Tilden throughout the
whole cipher business, and beyond
question Mr.. Tilden was fully aware
of everything Pelton did. The gen
tleman continued at some length,
denouncing the cold-blooded manner
in which Tilden had turned upon
his nephew and driven him from him
for political effect.

He Will Consent.
st. Peter Tribune.

Sts fetcr IrlDune.
We infer from the Times that
Judge Cox is willing after all-that
if a united democracy swoops down
upon him, he will reluctantly yield
and be candidate for congress. The
Times says that it was not author
lied to announce that he should re-
fuse under any and all circumstan-
ces to be a candidate, though he
was not seeking a nomination; but
it seems the pressure is becoming so
great that he may be induced to
smother his well known bashfulness,
and though thinking he'll meier con-
sent-consent. And when he con.
cludes to shed his bashfulness and
sling aside his judicial robes, and
enter the arena with his warpaint
on, there will be a whoop and a
cleaning Of steel all along the line.
Get ready your tomahawks and pre-
pare for the war dance about green
corn time!

DUNNELLS OPPORTUNITY.

Hon. w. G. Ward, one of the two
rival candidates for Congress in the
First district, has written the follow.
ing letter to Mr.. Dunnell, proposing
that they both withdraw from the
contest, and let the people of the
district select = new candidate. Mr..
DunnelFs declination of this very
fair proposition would throw upon
him the whole responsibility of Re
publican defeat in the district should
he still persist in running:
