The defense announced that they would
not trouble the jury with any evidence il

MIIChELL, y. I. may II, 1881.
EDITon PLAIN DEALER: Perhaps a
few friends in Crcsco, may be pleas
cd to hear from me, through your
columns. I arrived here May 4th,
coming loo miles by teams. Last
evening the first II. L., train entered
Mitchell for over four months; over
two hundred people gathered at the
depot to sec a freight train enter. 1t
was promise OF much more soon to
follow; business has been blockad-
ed, null communications have been
very irregular and after long inter-
walls. Ny impressions Of Dakota,
have becnqui!c favorable. The past
winter has been III exception, OF
course, throughout the northwest.
The indications are, that usually
Dakota has comparatively mild
winters: several things remind me of
the mild climate / experienced In
New Mexico. This prairie land has
these same Buffalo and grama gras-
scs, upon which in New Mexico, cas-
tle feed all winter. People tell me
that usually cattle are wintcred here
without feeding hay at all. The soap
weed tor amole), which the Mexican
women use for washing, grows here,
though not SO abundantly. lam told
that Cactus plants grow wild, west
Of here, near the Missouri. If any
one thinks that Dakota Is fearfully
cold and snow region, perhaps his
opinion to say the least, is not infal-
liblc. What Dakota needs most is
timber. Trees are being planted;
that will remedy the matter after a
few years. Railroads can now furn-
ish lumber and fuel until trees can
lie grown; the prairie hay will also
supply fuel. Notwithstanding the
severe winter, people here suffered
little, II any more, for fuel and pro-
visions, than in western Iowa. The
supply Of sugar or OF coal was short

Certificates OF actual specie de-
post constitute the only honest, re-
,lcemablc specie basis currency.
This currency should be issued by
and under the authority OF congress
alone, and should be full legal ten
der, which present coin certificates
ARE not. Bank notes represent cor
roratc monopoly; their issue IS a
fraud that always brings destruction
TO the values Of labor, property and
commerce, therefore the authority
OF banks to issue such inflated ire
d-emablc currency should be abro-
gated, and banking only be allowed
with coin or government notes for
sale and purchase Of exchange. There
would be no robbery in. that.
