PrognostiEations for Pettisrew.
From the BIsmarck Tribune.


The opposition to Mr.. Pettigrew Is not
concentrated, besides, he is the first
choice Of many who for local reasons
will support others 80 long as there il
hope for success. It requires the solid
vote of the Black Hnls, Al, north Dako-
t., 100, and twenty-five from the south
ern portion to defeat him-not scatter
ing on half . dozen candidates, but unit
ed, and who is there in north Dakota
who can unite all these elements? Can
Lawrence do 1t, or Barnes, or Wilson, or
Wellsp no, indeed. And the man in
north Dakota who would attempt to do
it must be beside himself. J. b. Ray
mond could come nearer to it than any
other man, but the Tribune ia inclined
to think that he has had all the expert.
cnce in Black Hills politics he desires.
Who 10 there In southern Dakota that
stands better in north Dakota or in the
Black Hills than Mr.. Pettigrew? lie
will surely get as much support in these
localities az any other than a local can
didate, and there is every reason to sup
pose that his old friends, who came 80
solidly to his support against the most
popular man in the north, are as ready
to-dsv. as they were then to help and
assist him. Hand, who is the leading
candidate against him, is an excellent
man. and would be an honor TO the ter.
ritory If elected, but his friends are not
among the class who take off their coats
and 60 in to win, working day and
night, to accomplish their purposes.
Tho apportionment will not be satisfac-
tory to southern Dakota and the Black
Hills, nor will the place Of holding the
convention be satisfactory. Mr.. Petit
Crews opponents are responsible for
both errors, and the Tribune believes it
will tell against them.

The LIST Of August finds the present
congress still in Washington most
unusual thing for a session commencing
In December. This has happened but
once in twenty years. The congress sit
ting in the summer Of 1876 did not ad-
jonrn until the 18th Of August, but it lost
much time during the national conven
tions of that year. How long after the
LIST the statesmen will consent to remain
is a matter of conjecture only. They
would be glad to escape, but the condi.
ton into which the pabiic business has
been thrown by their listlessness will
not admit of nm early adjournment.

DIVISION OF LAND.

In the reign of Louis XVI. we are told
that the Due de NemOille and the PTin-
cess de Tsrente, his daughter-in law,
were between them "seigneuTs" of more
than 300 parishes in the Province of
POitOu. After the Revolution in France
the devOlutiOn of land was turned into
a different channel by the dominant
political party, and in that country pro-
prietOrs are now counted by millions,
while here they are reckOned by thOus-
ands. The great estates in England
were little affected by our own revOlu-
tiOn, and the influence of property re-
vived and remained. Since that period
the lust of land, with all its various ad-
vantages, the law of primOgeniture, and
the intermarriage of great families, have
contributed in various degrees to the
accumulation of estates in few hands,
without any cOunteracting influence in
favor of dispersion. If the tendency to
accumulation were to continue for
another century some Gracious might
then say, as Isaiah said of old, that they
"lay field to field till there be no place,
that they may be placed alone in the
midst of the earth" The facts and fig
ures recently disclosed by investigation
were unknown and unexpected. Surely
it must be admitted by the most devoted
wOrshiper of lanI owners that this is an
unexpected condition of things, and
wholly inconsistent with sound policy
and public safety. Landed property has
ever been considered as the firm fOunda-
tiOn of every staple Government, and
the owners of it have always been averse
to revolution; but the security and guar
antees for civil order Obtainable from
that class of people are reduced to low
degree when land is held by body Of
persons who are numerically so insig-
nificant a minority as they are now
proved to be. We have seen that in
France the distribution of land is in
marked contrast to that which obtains
in England. In Prussia and the North
German Confederation the number of
prOprietOrs is very great. The small
kingdom of WuTtembeTg contained some
years ago 2S0,OOO peasant prOprietOrs
and $4,000 owners of estates of more
than five acres each. In Belgium the
dispersion, or mOrcellement, of land has
been carried to great length In the
United States ownership and Occupa-
tiOn Of land generally go together, and
the number of pTOprietOrs is immense.
Whereas in England we may walk
through the streets Of large manufac-
turing town, swaTming with its night
crowds, and reflect that probably not
one person of all the multitude of work
eTs possesses one acre of our land.-The
British Quarterly Review.

ON THE TARIFF.

We are an old Jackson Democrat, and
consequently favor ga judiciOus tariff,
which the present war tariff certainly Is
not, for its great fault, to quote Repub-
lican authority, "is that 1t protects GER
tain special interests, manufactures and
corporations, to the extent of making
vast and exacting mOnOpOlies Of them,
and compelling consumers to pay un-
inst tribute to their already enormous
power and wealth." The Bessemer steel
rail business is an instance of this kind,
and also illustrates how protection may
OveTdO the business of developing home
industries, by a cOddling and hOt-bed
growth, at variance with all sound busi-
ness principles. A fairly adjusted
nue. will furnish all the protection
American industry requires In its pres
ent stage of development. We always
thought the dictum, ID tariff for revenue
ONLY" covered great absurdity, for in
arranging the details of tariff, c m
mon sense and business prudence indI-
Gates that incidental protection should
be as it always has been considered
not the protection that creates monopo-
lies, but the prOtec ion that, while guard
ing the interests of American labor, yet
permits foreign competition within rea-
sOnable bounds. We don't believe in
protection that gives the American pro-
ducer an absolute m0nOpolyOf the home
market, thus putting consumers at their
mercy. A good deal of the protection
of the day, so far as working people are
concerned, is myth. 1t may ins ure
them better wages, but reduces the pur-
chasing power of their money. Look at
the taxes on sugar and cotton and wool
en- goods, articles of necessary and uni
versal consumption. 1t is suggestive
that In this cole weather, the tax on
blankets and knit under clothing is
