No more convincing illustration
of the insiocerity Of Garfield could
be shown than his equiyocal reply
to the Virginia delegation which
visited the White House yesterday.
Why need an honorable and self
convinced man hesitate to ayow his
sentiments Either the President is
in favor OF the Malone coalition
aud reputation or he is against it.
If he is . sincere and honest man he
must plant his administration
squarely against the readjusting
policy of Malone. His public
utterances, his avowed sentiments,
and his views OF public policy are
opposed to the infamous ideas OF
the Malone party i'll Virginia.
Garfield is, however, but displaying
anew his hahitual insincerity, and
his shuffliug purposes are apparent
in seeking to take both sides of a

SHALL WE CELEBRATE!

AS the time draws near when the
sound Of the festive fire cracker will
greet the ears of the people, the
question naturally presents itself,
Shall we have celebration? While
it is not to be supposed for one mo-
ment that place which is basking
in the sunshine Of prosperity, as
jamestown is to-day, would not have
one, yet it is possible that there
would be none, if some one did not STIR
the matter up and inspire the public
to action. Last year our celebration
was a grand success, though not at
all extensive or expensive. 1t was
ably managed by our Turnverein
Society, the members Of which spar
ed no pains to make the day an en-
joyable one 1t is hoped that these
same friends will renew their efforts
and the people Of this place will not
deal out subscription money for the
purpose of aiding the project with a
niggardly hand.

Cheek Better than Wisdom,

BOD 3uruttc.l
No, my son, cheek is not better
than wisdom, it is not better than
modesty; it is not better than any
thing. Don't listen to the siren
who tells you to blow your own
horn or it will never be footed up
on. The world is not to be deceiv-
ed by cheek, and it does search for
merit, and when it finds it, merit is
rewarded. Cheek never deceives
the world, my son. It appears to
do 50 to the cheeky man but he is
the one who is deceived. DO you
know one cheeky man i'll all your
acquaintance who is not reviled for
his cheek the moment his back is
turned! Is the world not constant
ly drawing distinctions between
cheek and merit? Almost every
body hates cheeky man, my son.
Society tires at the brassy glare Of
his face, the noisy assumption of
his forwardness. The triumphs of
cheek are only apparent. He bores
his way along through the world,
and frequently better people give
way for him. But so they give way,
my boy, for man with IL paintpot
in each hand. Not because they
respect the man with the paint pots
particularly, but because they want
to take care of their clothes. You
sell goods without it, and your Gus
toners won't run and hide in the
cellar when they see you coming.

THE RESERVATION CASE.


The reservation case is at an end
and Mr.. Elliott will retire in good or
der, no doubt, and leave the field
clear for his opponent, Mr.. Keileher.
Had Mr.. Elliott taken the advice Of
sensible men instead Of listening to
the subtle cackling Of numb skulls
and human asses there is not shad-
ow of a doubt but he would have
been the only legal occupant of the
reservation to-day. Had he improv-
ed his opportunities as a homesteader
with the same persistency he did his
assumed right as squattcr and tres
passer, D. M. Kelleher or no one
else could have molcsted him. The
Alert feels friendly to Mr.. Elliott and
regrets, exceedingly, that he did not
follow the Instructions of the law
rather than the senseless bleating of
fools.

The Funeral Of Joseph Weninger.

Joseph Weninger, the unfortunate man
who was drowned on Sunday, was bnried
Monday afternoon on the hill overlook
ing the spot where he met his untimcly
death. A coffin was made in the fore
noon and kind hands prepared the body
for the grave. The Rev. flaming con-
Quoted the services at the court house, al
ter which some thirty or more people
accompanied the remains to the burying
place. The funeral was FASTENED from
the fact that the body had began to show
signs Of decay, and as no word had been
heard from his friends it was thought
best to bury him aud then if his friends
desired the body it could be dlsinterred
a nd sent to them.

Canadian Currency.

The question of what shall we
do to get rid Of the circulation of
Canadian Currency is one which is
now vexing the minds of our bus
mess men. On account of our close
proximity to our Canadian cousins
and the other fact of such a large
Canadian immigration to this coun-
try, our circulating money medium
is almost entirely Canadian curren-
cy, our bank here will not handle
it for less than one-half per cent.
discount, neither will the railroad
company or the express company
take it without the same discount,
and it is not at all receivable for
customs, public lands, postage or
any other dues to the U. S. Govern.
ment. Our merchants and other
business men can not send it to
their St. Paul, Minneapolis, Chica-
go or other business centres in pay
ment for goods without suffering
the loss of discount. The Cana
dian banks are somewhat different
from our national banks, for where
as, under our national banking sys-
tenn our Government is responsible
for the same, while many of the
Canadian banks are owned by pri-
vate individuals who alone are re-
sponsible. These Canadian banks,
or at least the greater number of
them, are perfectly good and their
paper money is redeemable in gold
at their own banks: but it is an
expense to send to those banks, and
hence their paper money is not
worth the face value here. On the
other hand our own money is good,
can be used for every business pur-
pose and is subject to no discount
and we think our own money is
what we should use and accept no
other only for Just what it is worth.

Solid Facts.

The newspapers Of Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, seem to have, in
some way, taken great dislike to
Dakota. They have got very jealous
lately because SO many of their peo-
pie are preparing to leave their old
worn out states and come to the
golden Northwest. Boys, it is no
use. You are betting on a dead dog.
DO you suppose anyone is going to
be fool enough to believe that your
old worn out soil is as good as that
Of the greatest and best agricultural
region that ever lay out doors! Do
you think any one outside OF an in
sane asylum will believe your stories
about the weather here when it is
fact, and you know it too, that it
has not been one half so bad as your
own? Do you suppose any one here
is suffering when we raised enough
last year to feed all of our population
and yours too9 If you do you are
badly mistaken. People will not
be liable to believe them when their
own eyes show them plainly that
they are false. Next year your
country will raise from nothing to
eight bushels of wheat per acre and
other grains in proportion. Ours
will raise from twenty five to forty
bushels of wheat per acre and other
things in proportion. Your wheat
will grade principally No. 3 and 4,
not one bushel Of No. ] will you get
and very little No. Q. Ours will
grade principally No. l, with very
little No. 2, and no No. 3 to be
found in the country. Some your
farmers will then of course put an
other mortgage on their farm and
stick to it, but many of them will
make up their minds to go where
there is something to, be made at
farming. Our farmers will all be
rich and yours will all be in the poor
house in live years more at the rate
things are going at present. Now
gentlemen these are facts, good solid
facts as many farmers who came
from your states can testify. You
can howl about Dakota all you want
to, for the more you howl the more
people will investigate and that is
just what we want them to do

Lay OF the Land in Dakota.
C Editor of the Pioneer Press.

| 10 the Editor of the Pioneer Press.
Yankton, May 3l.-Your Bis
marck special correspondent, under
date of May %, speaking Of Gen.
Haupt's idea Of "pony railroads as
feeders Of the Northern Pacific, -
says that "outside of the Red river
valley northern Dakota is all rolling
prarie.' Now, without knowing
whether Gen. Haupt or any other
has such plan, the writer happens
to know that practically level
routes for many such feeders can
be found between Fargo and Bis
marck, outside Of the Red river val
ley. After crossing the Cheyenne
river there is a level way south for
fifty miles, passing west of Fort
Ransom and down the wide and
fertile valley of Bear creek to the
James river; and another from San
born or near it, little west of
north for ninety miles. From
jamestown another line can be built
almost indefinitely northwest over
a plain as smooth as the great val
ley; and west of James river lies a
plain from twenty to thirty miles
wide to point south of the land
grant. From Burton, the station
next west of Jamestown, the route
south is almost perfectly smooth.
A little east of Bismarck two more
feeders can find level routes north
and south. Yes, even in the Coteau
region, near Crystal Springs. near
ly level routes north and south can
be found with but little trouble and
few curves. A great plain of splen-
did land lies not far north of that
station, extending over and forming
part of the great plains bordering
upon the James river. The writer
speaks from actual view of all these
parts, having engaged in surveying
over 2, 200 miles of lines upon gov
ernment lands therein. If one
becomes familiar with these regions,
especially between the Shcyennc
and James, and west Of the James
down about Grand Rapids, and else
where in Dakota east Of the Mis-
souri river, he will begin to imagine
most OF Dakota is but gently rolling
or nearly level, and he will be GER
tam that no single valley, great as
It's fame may justly be, contains
tenth part of the most fertile land
OF Dakota. There are available
routes for railroads of any kind
everywhere. The exceptions are
few groups of hills or high river
bluffs, all easily avoided. The acres
OF fmost fertile soil are as widespread,
and the near future will convince
all that this is true.

church at Black Run, Colorado. He
was told to contribute whatever he
chose, whereupon he said he'd chip

$40 in change. The deacon softly
replied that no change was given.
A struggle ensued, the plate was

disaster the Herald says: Though 4
majority of the mines of the Black
Hills are timbered as well as posi-
bic, and all other apparently neces-

more accidents in the mines here in
proportion to the number ufmen en-
ployed than among any class of work

number of trees planted and culti-

Alexandria Herald: The immi-
grafton into Dakota this year is with
out precedent. Never before in the
history of any country has the stream
poured increasingly at flood tide, car
rying with it enough to populate an
empire in few months. Behold on
every hand mighty army marching
into Dakota for homes. They stop
not, nor stay for nothing, but con to
Dakota" is their watchword. As
they push through Iowa they are as
sailed and harrassed by land agents,
frenzied by their inability to turn the
column, or waver the ranks, but it
does not deter them. This movement
is contagious and has innoculated the
land agents, who, anxious to see a
country the people are crazy to reach,
and wearing coat of mail against
falsehoods, have locked their offices
and are now shouting around the
standard they so lately DETAINED.
This was not expected, and our Joy
is correspondingIy great over the re-
pentance of these benighted brethren.

The Trade of Duluth.
TDuluth Tribunc.1


Yesterday, for the first time in
Duluth's history, two boats were
loaded at the same time, at one ele-
vator. This was at elevator B, and
the two boats carried away $4,000
bushels Of No. l hard wheat. If
Chicago or Milwaukee can show
such large per centage of the best
wheat in the world, it is time for
them to be doing so. The board
of trade returns for the year ending
April 30, 1881, shows the freight
shipments for this year to have been:
By lake, merchandise, 81, ,765, 1899
pounds; flour, 551, III barrels; grain,
236, ,265,512 pounds. Shipments by
rail, 296, 1923 pounds. During
May, 1881 the shipments Of grain
amounted to 332, 400 pounds.
