Of the parties in the case, and she was
persistent in her entreaties and threats

Clearinghouse Report.
Colonel Pat iOnan Named for
Congress.
Fargo Bee, 49,.

oN0l
A Grand Forks correspondent of the
st. Paul Globe reviews the prominent
candidates for delegate to Congress,
naming Pettigrew, Hand, Raymond of
Bismarck, Walsh and La Mour. He
very truthiully states that most of
them know more about driving bulls
than watching and protecting the
interests Of a territory containing as
much intelligence as Dakota" and
commends La Mour because he can
hold his own with any one in a game
Of poker" In the latter part OF his
pithy communication hesays: "Colonel
Pat Donan, of Fargo, has been spoken
of, and could gather considerable
strength if he desired the nomination,
but the chances are that be does not

Colonel Donan is the first man who

with inhexible honor and in tegrity.

The yellow fever seems to be
slightly on the wane at Matamoras and
Brownsville. 1t is we'll enough to be
on the alert in the South, but SO far
there has been no cause for serious
alarm. A few cases in former times
was not thought much of at New Or
leans, but the country has been more
sensitive since 1873. Forewarned is
forearmed. 1t is not likely that South
ern cities will be caught mapping by
Bronze John again in many years.
The season is we'll advanced, it has
been phenominally cool and healthy,
no malarious or other fevers have pre-.
vailed in any locality, and there is
every reason to believe that we will get
through without danger or alarm.

almost without opposition. hepeople
manifest their intelligence by retaining
the services of a man who has made a
national reputation, and at the same
time been one Of the most hard
working and useful members in Con

perhaps the press is little partial to
him on that account. He is serving
his fourth term in Congress, and will be

His record is unassailable, and high
need of praise has been extorted from
his most bitter political enemies. The

SARATOGA, August 17.-At the
meeting Of the Bankers Association
this morning, Hewey, of Mobile, Ala,
gave brief account of the crop pros
poets in the Southern States, which
are good. The planters of Alabama
are getting rid Of their incubus debt,
the mineral wealth of the State is
great, and only needs capital to develop
it. The Improvement of the rivers is
also doing much for the State. W. H..
Perkins, of Mississippi, read a paper
on the industrial growth of Mississippi
and the cotton States.

COLONEL Pat Donan, one of the
ablest and boldest journalists of the
times, is conspicuously mentioned as a
suitable man to represent Dakota
Territory in CONGRESS. Western
communities generally select men Of
strong will power and decisive points
of character to represent them in local
and national legislation. Donan is a
dsshing aggressive sort ofa man, honest
and fearless. He has national rep
utation ss a logical and brilliant
writer. He is personally acquainted
with the leading men OF both political
parties, and is familiar with the live
issues of the day. We know very little
of Dakota politics down this way--if
they havepolitics in the sense under
stood in the old States. We read two
ably edited daily papers published in
! Fargo, and conclude from their gen.
eral tone that the main political issues
of the Territory are so mixed up in
the big wheat and corn crops, found
ing of new towns, building railroads,
providing for new settlers and devel-
oping the country that the time hon.
ored resolutions Of '9S are not gen
orally committed to memory. Even
Colonel Donan himself seems to be a
little off as to his early catechism.
We hope that Colonel Edwards, of
the Argus, Governor Ordway and
Delegate Pettigrew and others more or
less interested, will excuse this refer
ence to the political slate and chances
of their Territory. Having known
Colonel Pat Donan before they did,
and ever since, we can venture to sug.
COST that they can hardly select finer
looking representative, or one who
would be more useful in Congress.

THE death Of Senator Ben Hill, Of
Georgia, announced in our telegraph
columns yesterday afternoon, casts q
shadow Of sadness over the whole
country. There is something terrible
beyond the ordinary sight and idea
of death, when great man, in the
prime of physical and intellectual
powers, is stricken down by an assas
sin, or some disease equally unex
pected and resistless. The public
heart is almost equally touched in
either case, and we are again taught
the great lesson that human sympathy
is not bounded by political or Sec
tional lines. Mr.. Hills suffering
was, perhaps, greater than President
Garfeld's. Yet he was able to sit up
and commune with friends, and pre-
pare for the great inevitable change
almost to the last, and left behind the
testimony that he was ready and re-
signed. Expressions of sympathy
come from every State in the Union,
nd none more tender and touching
-rn those from his late associates in
the United States Senate. In his last
days he enjoyed the full consultations
of religious hope, the assurance Of
tenderest sympathy and the attention
of devoted kindred and friends.
