Jamestown alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1878-1882, 1881-10-21

Treasury officials estimate tnat
the surplus for the coming year
will amount to $l60,O0O,Oo0. A
goood showing.
With the opposition to Gorham
and Ridleberger, and the persist
ance Of Malone, the republicans
don't know what to do.
| The telegraph reports the West
ern Union rs havinga surplus OF ST.,
100000. Still it takes weel, to get
! a message to OF from St. Paul or Du-
luth.
The democrats are in cuandary.
| With the loss OF the independent
party, and q prospect Of his sup
porting the opposition, they know
not what to do.
| According to instructions from
| District Attorney Corkhill, and SEQ
Vile, counsel for the defense, Gui-
teau is kept in close CONTINENT.
They claim it is precautionary
measure made to keep him from re-
ceiving his just dues from the indig-
! nant multitude.
In the fight for control Of the
Ohio Il Mississippi II. r., Garrett
beat Gould. With the infringement
of Garrett the stockholders will
have some hope tor a dividend, as
he has:imade the best showing o.
any Il. II. president in the country.
The British Government seems
disposed to follow the heroic treat
ment, and to furnish Ireland an
a.lopathic dose for her present
troubles. 1t is time she did some
thing; either grant the request or
stop the turbulent element in their
clleor.
The ''independent'' papers, OF
those opposed to President Arthur
are very much discontitted to think
| he will not follow their advice, and
appoint the men they name for his
! advisers. They have issued their
decision, which is withdrawal
Of their support. Will the country
survive?
! Scoville appeared in court as
counsel for Guiteau, and stated he
was unable to get counsel to assist,
as they had no money. He was
! not acquitted with criminal law,
and. requested the court to assign
him counsel. The Judge said the
| prisoner should have counsel as.
signed him.
A gentleman from the lower val.
ley states that the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul Company has an
engineer corps in the field, and they
! had run preliminary line into the
valley to see what prospect there
| is to get q feasible route into Grand
| Rapids. II will not be long before
jamestown possesses ample railway
facilities to any part OF the coun-
try.
Gen. Tyner has been requeste-
to resign the position Of First AS
! siStant Postmaster Goueral. There
will be another wall go up from
Indiana. The department has been
run in the interest Of that State
ever since Brady and Tyner have
been III power, and as u result &
large proportion OF her population
fill positions in the Postal Depart
ment.
The death of J. G. Holland leaves
another vacancy in the ranks of
the literary world. His productions
cover d broad field. He was equal
ly successful in prose and poetry.
His life has been an active one, i'll
cluding magazine, newspaper worl;
and novel writing. The Sciibners
will find it difficult to supply the
place he has filled as manager Of
their magazine.
The portly form Of David Davis
now fills the seat made vacant in
the Senate by President Arthur.
He can FIJI the seat, at least he is
large enough to. We hope he will
return to his first love and leave
the democracy to go down Salt riy-
er alone. He was elected by the
Republicans. He may not be as
partial to democracy as heretofore.
Doctor Thomas has been expelled
from the Methodist Conference, be-
cause he thinks there are some
doubts as to the literal interpreta-
tion of the Scriptures. The Doctor
may not be as orthodox i'll pro-
fession, but in the purity Of his life
and resources of intellect he is far
ahead of those who tried him. That
may be good reason why he should
be expelled.
The Minneapolis Nillcrs' Associa-
,ion on "Wednesday last was paying
Sl.33 tor No. l Wheat, while the same
grade was only bringing $l.3l III
Chicago. As it costs Is cents to
| ship a hushe: Of wheat TO Chicago,
! it gives the farmers OF Minnesota Is
ce!ts per bushel mose for wheat
than they would get, but for the i'm
mense de at mand Minneapolis. Our
farmers will receive to some extent

Mr.. Klaus Mil in ,}amestown, aud
