1t was Mr. Blaine who first used it, and 1t must be
exceedingly gratifying for Mr. Conkling to strut
round in the borrowed plumage Of the Secretary OF
State.
1t was year OF two later that Mr.. Conkling
adopted the word, for during the early period
of Slr. lfayess Administration, when his policy "
was announced and inaugurated, Mr.. COnkling
kept very quiet and was understood TO be
acqulescent. lie was anything else than Stall
wart then. Two three days after Hayes
naugurated Mr.. Conkng voted against seat
ing Kellogg from Louisiana and made several de-
monStrations which were decidedly anti-Stalwart
In short just so long Mr. Hayes kept his hands of
of the patronage of New-York Mr.. Conkling had no
occasion to he stalwart at all. But when the
President touched the Custom House by removing
Collector Arthur Mr.. Coukling became the most
Stalwart Of the party and has ever since sought
10 appropriate the title. Conscientious objections to
llaycs's policy did not make Mr.. Conkling a Stall
wart But he overlooked with Stalwartism
when the domain Of patronage was invaded.
And 50 now again Mr.. Conkling returns to his
muttons.' Ii is the Custom House more. Other
senators and former statesmen have had distinctive
fields If action and marked FEATURES in their
Mr.. Webster Vpoundcd tho Constitution, Mr. Clay
built up the American system, Mr.. Calhoun laborcd
for State rights Mr. Benton batlcd for hard-moncy,
Mr. Seward struggled for the abolition of slavery
but Mr. Conkling has expended all his great ener
rir~ and conceded abilities in unfolding the grandeur
O.. tio Custom House and the sacrcdncs> of patron
age. Let Ncw-York rise in her might and keep her
great Senator in his splendid and cnnobig career.

The mcancst feature of Mr.. Conklines cam
paign against the Administration is his cow
ardly prctence that it is not the President but
Mr.. Blaine whom he is fighting and the
methods he uses are rs ignohlc as the motives
which inspire them. Mr. Blaine came to New
York the other day, and remained twcnty-fOur
hours for the purpose of tranSactlng some
business of his own. He did not seek or see
any politician, manager or editor. The cry
was instantly raised by Mr.. ConlIinG's adhcr-
ents that the Secretary had come here to work
against him-as if Ncw-IOrk were not the
great city of the continent where every man
of affairs must come from time to time. When
this charge was found to he false another lie
lad to be promptly invented to take the place
of it, and that was that Mr.. Blaine was in
volved in the Star-Route rohbcrcs, and had
come here to cover up the evidences of his
guilt. The indcccncy of such charge is no
less noticeable than its stupidity. If proofs of
corruption could be so readily covered up 10y y
dav in New-IOrk no rogue would ever he
caught. 1t did not need the instantaneous de-
mails of the Postmaster General and the Attur-
ney-GenCral To convince any intelligent person
of the absurtlity Of Til, brutal fal>chood But
in the new combination of Ingenious intrigue
which is already clearly indicated between Nr.
Tildcn and Mr. Conklius-adcd, We are sony
to say, by the cc-PrSdcut-wc may expect
10 see every day new and startling exhibitions
OF rcchlcssnc,s and drpEliiy.

During the decade ending June, 1850, the
population of the United States increased about
81 per cent. In the same period the total &C.
real product of the country, according to the
census reports published to-day, increased 100
Der cent This one fact goes far toward ex-
planning the remarkable prosperity now exist
ing. Our surplus Of breadstuifs is much larger
than it has ever been before. After our own
people have been abundantly fed there remains
vast quantity Of grain to sell to other ma
tons.

The active measures taken by the Navy De-
partment to find the missing Arctic Exploring
steamer Jeanette deserve hearty public COM
mendation. A second vessel, the Alliance,
is ordered by Secretary Hunt to go upon this
humane quest. She will proceed to the east
coast of Greenland and to Spitzbergen, and
work as far north as her commander thinks
safe. If neither expedition finds any trace of
the Jeanette and the summer passes by with
out tidings from her she will be given up as
lost, but hone will long linger in the pub
lie mind that her brave crew, with or without
their ship, will return from the Frozen Zone
to tell the tale of their wanderings.

Good Women.

The highest words Of praise that can
be spoken of a woman is to say to her
that she is "a good woman The women
who win the admiration, respect and
love of all are the good women Of the
world. We are ready to praise women Of
talent, women whose accomplishments
are many, who are brilliant and gifted
above other women; an hour passed in
their company may be delightful, but un-
less they are good women we would not
care to spend a lifetime with them. We
admire women to whom nature has given
the great gift Of beauty; the bright eyes
glowing cheeks, perfect features and
graceful NOV ements Of beautiful wom-
ans charms, but the charm is not lasting
unless the beautiful woman is also good
woman. Only good women win our per-
feet faith, our lasting respect; they, only,
receive the highest praise our lips can
utter, the best love our hearts can give.

Steele Farm and TOWnsite.

Undoubtedly the finest field of wheat
in Dakota Territory is at the Steele farm,
forty-five miles east Of Bismarck. An in
spection Sunday last showed an average
height of thlrty-six inches, and it stands
as even as though the tops had been clip
ped with lawn mower. BY the last OF
August Mr.. Steele expects to have his
tfreshing we'll under way, and will then
devote his attention to the improvement
of his new townsitc recently laid out.
This is one of the finest tOwnsites on the
line Of the road, containing one hundred
and eleven acres, with wide streets, broad
avenues and bou]evarCls. On each side of
the railroad and depot is fine park with
numerous shade trees, and Alr. Steele's
private residence, now nearly completed,
is pronounced the finest in the territory.
The lumber is on the ground for the new
court house, which will be erected at
once, and will occupy a half block o. the
new town. The safe and complete set OF
county books and records are also on hand
for the county seat, which has been deli
nitely located. Among the Improvements
now under way is anew store, elevator,
pos'ottice, and warehouse, 2Sx60. Many
broad acres of land equal to that of the
Steele farm is yet to be taken, and the
town lots which are placed on the market
at from ten to seventy-tive dollars each,
are expected to sell like hot cakes. They
can be bought for nearly the price IF the
land by the acre, MIR. Steele having re-
