THE arrest of II. z. Mitchell, editor Of
the Duluth Tribune and recently ap-
pointed Receiver of the land Office there,
for completely in pine land frauds, has
created quite commotion there. 1t Is
charged that he, with two Others, Gordon
and Loyejoy, conspired together and
hired men to take up prc-empt,ons on
the pineries to the amount of 4, 400 acres
through which the SAID lands were fraud
ulently conveyed into their possession,
and it now seems that Lovejoy has
turned informer and the arrest is made
upon the aftidavits of Lovejoy and sew
eral of tho men who were hired TO carry
out the conspiracy. Mitchell was recent
ly appointed Receiver of the Duluth land
office but had not received his commls
sion yet and claims 1t is plot to beat
him out OF the office. He waived cx-
animation and gave bail in the sum OF
$1,000 for his appearance At the October
term of the United States district court at
St. Paul. The frauds that have heen

VIZ do not admire nor justify the
naughty spirit of dsm,nation which Ros-
coe Conkling has frequently exhibited,
notably In the campaign of 1850, and in
his demeanor IN the United States senate
upon the accession of Garfield to the
presidency, but he has many redecming
qualities that tower like mountains in
grandeur above majority of his assail.
ants Everybody who knows anything
of the last presidential campaign knows
that Conkllns held the scale IN his own
hand and had the power to Turn it as he
chose. Garfield recognized that fact and
appealed to him TO save the ticket and
the republican party from impending
defeat. With all the obloquy that had
been heaped upon him by the part of the
party that nominated Garfield, and the
bitterness Of the extended contest in tn c
Chicago convention, he heroically laid
aside his own personal feelings, came to
the rescue and virtually elected Garfield.
To say after these things and sacrifices
that Conkling had no claims OF courtesy
upon President Garfield in the dispcnsa-
ton of federal patronage is to say that
Garfield was the embodiment of ingrati-
tude, if nothing worse. But these are
not the most promin n. elements Of Cenk-
ling. lie Is unqucstienably the master
mind and statesman of the American ma

SOME weeks ago we took occasion TO
show up the ignorance of one Abraham
&schenck, who after run out into this
territory as far as Huron had the gall to
assume to give, IN an interview py the
shiawassee Union, paper published 1t
Ovid, Mich.,a criticism of the territory of
Dakota with the most unfair exaggera-
tion. Now the Union comes back at us,
and Groton Advocate which likewise gave
Schenck q shaking up on the same sub.
1ect, saying that we made 'sred hot as
saults upon MIR. Schenck" but neglected
to answer the points he made. We have
not seen the Advocate article, but the
Alert certainly answered every point
worthy of notice and showed in addition
that Schcnck was consummate ass and
didn't know anything about what he
was talking Of For further answer we
refer to extracts published in another
column from an article from the pen of
Hon. Geo. P. Sanford, representative
man of the state of Michigan, which was
written Tor and published IN the Lansing
Journal the 18th INST. C0l. Sanford -
an old citizen of Michigan, we'll kno wn
throughout the state, ha ring occupied
many positions of trust and honor. lie
is q man of superior intelligence and
judgment, conscientious and honest in
his opinions, and no one who knows him
would for moment entertain the
thought that lie would willfully mlslead
his own people and by stroke Of his
pen de'troy the confidence they repose
In him, by decelving them with regard
to this country and the advantages it
offers IN invitation of immigration. We
refer those who have been prejudiced
against this country by such jgnoramuses
as Abraham Schenck to what Col San
ford, of Lansing, Michigan. says of the
country.

The recent rains have revived the
spirits of the farming community and Of
all other business in the James River
Valley wonderfully. A good average
crop of wheat is now assured and
business enterprises of all kinds arc be-
ginning to boom with unusual actlv-
ity. We anticipate the livellest time in
business circles here this fall that we
have ever had. Eastern capitalists who
have been holding back on account of
the prejudicial prophecies and reports of
eastern papers about the consequences of
the drOuth have seen their fears vanish IN
the rain. What may be called drought
had only commenced and the crop fail
ures about which SO much was said were
altogether prophetic. The rains came
about the time tho drouth commenced
aud consequently the omlnous forebod-
ins Sof croakers proved to be imaginary.
1t is an old saying that there is no differ
snce IN the mental effect between real
and imaginary danger. A person will
shy around from the front end of an
tmpty gun just as lively as from that of
aSpaded one if he doesn't know it Is
empty and thinks the desperate at the
breesh means bloodshed. Just so great
many, when the sun was bot and the
dust began to fly, imagined their wheat
fields would be converted into tinder and
that starvation hung like pail over the
whole country, not because there was
anything real in it but possible calam-
lty to the crops such as has occurred in
every state and territory south Of the
Nebraska line aud from the Allegheny to
t4he Rocky mountains. But since the
rains, and after all their anxiety and evil
forsbodings, they find they have been en-
during the unreal perils of crossing the
river before they came to it, and at the
time they thought they were ovsrwhslm-
Ell IN parched up desolatlon they find
themselves in the midst of plenty and are
now IN trouble to provide some way to
take care of their beuntiful crops when
tn mAarvest comes on Man is the most
inconsistent being on the face OF the
earth. He is incapable of enjoying hap
piness. When happiness comes to his
very door instead Of appropriatlng it he
worries himself over the suspicion that
there is some lurking calamity in the
background. The people in North Da-
kots may as we'll make up their minds
that such calamities as destructive
droughts, hail storms and cyclones will
never come to them, aud enjoy life like
philosophers, be happy over the bounti-
tiful plenty that is ever present with
them instead of miserable over calam-
tiles that never come.

Dakotaian would make out several counts
Of stupidity if nothing worse against the
last legislature 1t has shown from the
record that they made on appropriation
for an insane asylunsto he located some
where within four miles of the court
house in Stutsman county, but left 1t
lame in some Of Its details that may
seriously retard its operation. 1t has
shown from the record that they enacted
that there should be an agricultural col
lcge at Fargo but neglected to appropri-
ate any money for the purpose. 1t now
shows that they passed law exemptlng
railroad lands, which includes land
grants, road beds, depot grounds, town
sites and town lots, from taxation, while
the struggling settler, the enterprising
farmer, merchant and business man OF
other kind must whack up on his lands
and town lots or they will be knocked
down by the auctioneer for taxes and
costs. When we take into consideration
the fact that the railroad companies own
half interest in nearly all the new
towns laid out on their lines as an in
ducsment to aid in their boom the "soft
snap'' on taxation this bill gi"es them is
scarcely indistinct We have waited to
see an explanation of these things from
some member OF the legislature but they
are answered only with studied silence.
In answer to the charges made against
the legislature by the p and D. of cor
ruption in the passage of the capital
commission bill, it was only necessary to
satisfy North Dakota to reply that it was
the "sour grapes" of tho Yankton ring,
but that will not answer the charge of stu
pldity in other matters which that paper
pins to them by the record. Two of the
instances above referred to directly and
materially affect jamestown and Stuts-
man county, and IN the absence of evil
deuce to show that any one or part of the
body of the legislature was specially
responsible and to blame fer it the whole
body is held jointly to answer to the
public. They were sent there as the
representatives, agents or servants of the
people, not to do their ewn will hut that
Of the people whom they were chosen to
represent These things would seem to
require great deal of explanation or
none at all and so far they seem to have
chosen the latter policy. The safeguard
af the American people is contained in
the reserved right to hold their public
officers, public servants, to strict acA
countability for the manner in which
they discharge their duties rs such and
the power to dcpose faithiess public serv.
ants and supply their places with others.
Our system of government provides that
periodically the official servants of the
people shall be brought before tribunal
composed of the masses ot their peers and
the fidelity with which they have per-
formed their duties be decided at the
ballot box. The work of the late legis-
laturc is on perpetual record, that record
is now coming before the people in the
laws they enacted, and by this record
they must stand or fall. The time is now
At hand when the people will say "Dan-
isl, come to judgment"
