OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

NEW YORK, Aug. nth, 1888

from our Regular correspondents
NEW YORK, Aug. nth, 1883.
The Republican State Committee
of New York has met, and selected
Richfeld Springs, as the meeting
place of the Convention which is to
begin its work on the 18th of Septem-
Der. Anumber of places made strong
bids to the Committee, particularly
Saratoga, but Richfield Springs out
bid them all. The deliberations of
the Committee were marked by the
most thorough good feeling and de-
termination to bury all spirit OF fac
ton and disharmony, and there is no
doubt that by the 18th of next month,
the delegates from this city will go to
the Convention with the best OF feel
ing towards each other and with the
determination to do anything for the
party's best interests.
Tilden and Kelly are flirting with
each other like pair of giddy young
people. First Sammy intimates that
he had always admired Mr.. Kelly's
noble character. Then "Honest
John" intimates through his organ
that harmony must be aroused in
the Democratic camp at any price.
Next Mr.. Kelly comes down from
the Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga
and summons the Tammany braves
to the council fire. Meanwhile San

The Minnesota Democrats have as
yet failed to find mar willing to
accept the candidacy fo' the Cover
norship on their ticket. The reason
for this is no doubt NOBODY of any
standing cares to risk his reputation
on platform which advocates free
trade and free liquor. After all it
makes very little difference whom the
Democrats of that State will succeed
in getting, for the ticket will be beat
en- any way.

The Duty of the Governor.

Governor Hamilton has a good
cause, is an able man and a powerful
speaker. He has written a strong
paper, which is like seed sown in
fertile soil and will sprout in the con-
sciences of the honest Democrats of
the State and bear fruit. But the
Governor should follow up his letter
by word Of mouth and appeal on the
hastings directly to the people. Here
he would be an oVer-match for Mr..
McLane or any other man the ring
can put up. To attempt to beat the
ring in the primaries is like playing
with black-leg who uses loaded dice
or marked cards. The 81 ,2OO-distri-
button has done the business for the
party newspapers the canal pap has
made fat and plant the organization
in Western Maryland, and a large
number of the rising young Demo-
Gratis have been besmirched and now
"crook the pregnant hinges of the
knee that thrift may follow fawn
ing" Under these circumstances the
Governor has no alternative but TO
appeal to the unbought Democracy
and to the people at large to decide
the issue between himself and the
ring. Let him challenge the nomi-
nee of the ring for Governor, whether
it be Mr.. McLane or anybody else, to
discuss these important questions on
the stump, and there will be such a
turnout OF the masses as was never
witnessed before within our borders.
If the ring candidate should refuse to
meet him the Governor will get iudg-
ment by default. In spite of all
this hellaballoo the ring has been
making over its recent victories, ,,
there lisa strong undercurrent in favor
of the Goyernor-it is heard on the
roads and streets, at church, mill and
market. But the people admire a
bold and dashing leader, and the Gov
ernor ought to "cry aloud and spare
not" Let him single out the often
ders, name them one by one, write
their misdeeds upon their foreheads
and hold them up to the scorn and
Indignation of an outraged people.
The "organs" are already singing the
Governors dirge and orders have
been given for his monument, the
expense to be paid out of their ''con-
tingent fund ;" and, thinking he has
been laid down to his last sleep, a
number of the ringsters have gone off
iunketingin the jolliest sort of humor.
CONCENTRATING themselves that they
haye killed the shepherd and will
now devour the silly sheep at their
leisure. Let the Governor disappoint
them, rouse up brave mind, pursue
these wolves and never let up on them
until he has eXterminated them.-

not unexpected. his death was sud-

Long woods are especially dull, and

My advice to all farmers, whether

MONDAY, Aug. 20, 1888.
The quotations given are those of
the retail market, except where other
wise stated.
PRICES OF BEEF CATTLE AT THE
MARKET TODAY.
Very best on sale to-day 5$(06B
cts ; that generally rated first quality,
1908 cents; medium or good fair
quality, 4(94S cents; ordinary thin
steers, oxen and cows. BOA cents ;
extreme range of prices, 3(G6B cents.
Most of the sales were from 44052.
REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.
The arrival of Cattle during the

1888 last week and ,214 head the COR
responding week of last year, and the
sales were 9S5 head, against 2,075 last
week, and S64 head the correspond
ing week of last year.
The market has been slow to-day
on the Hill. Quotations at retail show
a larger fractional advance on an ac-
tive market than those obtained in
the retail trade. The improvement
in the retail market was generally
considered to be between and }c.,
and in some few instances a slightly
higher figure was obtained. Wequote
at 3(965c,, a few selling at the latter
figure, with most sales at 4s(059.
There were better tops than there
were last week.
THE SWINE MARKET.
There has been Il fair supply of
Hogs offered during the past week
and today, few hundred less in
numbers than last week, but with
the quality fully as good as it was
then. Trade has not been active, but
is generally reported "fair," with the
supply equal to the demand. We
quote rough Hogs, stays and sows-
stall ends"-at 7(974c., and the bet

THE SHEEP MARKET.
Though the offerings are nearly
5000 head less than last week, they
are much in excess of the very limi-

wholly to purchases of stock Sheep,
butchers buying in very limited num-
bers. WequOte butcher Sheep at 80
she; Lambs 34052 stock Sheep
Eewes 50 to $3.50 per head, and Weth-

4964c., and no stock Sheep quoted
then.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.


IPIOll OuI ISCS uletl Correspondence
WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 20, 1888
There is little prospect that the
hearing lately given to the striking
telegraphers by the Senate commit
tee on equalization of labor will effect
any marked result. Probably the
greatest and most important question
to which the mind of man could be
directed-if we except such questions
as relate to the soul and its eternal
interests the subject to which this
committee is applying itself, "The
annual relations ofcapital and labor"
is a subject so vast and involving so
many and such conflicting interests,
that no mind has ever mastered it..
If this committee could suggest a
plan for the equitable adjustment of
those relations, and if that plan could
be adopted, the world would be the
committees debtor for a greater and
better work than any human reform
er has ever wrought. Of course the
system would include new plan of
governmental and social organiza-
ton, and new method of defraying
public expenditures. 1t would revo-
lutionize about all existing things,
and it would bring us right up to the
threshold of the millennium. It is
not likely, however, that Mr.. Blair
and his associates hope for all this !;
they are doubtless trying to get a
few facts on which to base legislation
intended to improve, to some extent,
the relations of capital and labor.
The object is good one. but there is
no hope of any great reform while
capital virtually dictates all the legis-
lation OF the country, as it must do
until the leading legislators cease to
be the retained attorneys of the great
corporations,
lfall accounts are true, and they
seem to agree pretty well. Mr.. Til
den and his barrel are preparing 70

Presidential nomination next year.
The New York Times has run the
rumors down pretty well, and comes
to the conclusion that TiIden is in the
race. He has just bought a fine team
at Saratoga and singularly enough is
there cutting some lively shines at
the same time Mr.. Hendricks hap
pens around. The Times finds that
there is strong desire for "har-
mony" among the Democratic fac
lions in New York, and that fine Ita.-

played in all that transpires. John
Kelly is willing to be harmonized.

Tho Highest Education.

There is great deal that is wrong
in our modern method of education.
1t teaches a man to be a gentleman,
but yet does not give him the power
of making a living. 1t stuffs him
with facts and meaningless words.
phrases and theories, but does not en-
able him to think for himself and be-
come man in the highest and best
sense. His education is too general
and not practical enough. AL classes
should be taught that PERUNA--the
great remedy compounded by DIR.
Hartman-is the very thing he needs
for the restoration of his health and
the toning up of the body. Being
composed of pure vegetable SUBJ
stances and containing no poisonous
minerals, it is just the thing for
all classes of people, and all should
learn at once that it is to their inter-
est to inquire into the merits of the
medicine, for therein lies the highest
education. Ask your druggist for

1t is interesting to find the Cover

a number of sessions efforts have
been made to change it. 1t was
adopted by a Democratic Legislature,
when all the Judges in the State were

control of the school-machinery under
its control. The pretense that the
mode of appointment was adopted to
keep the machinery free. from political
tdSnt is proven to be ridiculous by the
history of our own county where the
Judges have never appointed any one
to the Office OF School Commissioners
from the Republican ranks. If the
Judiciary of the State had remained
solidly Democratic, possibly the Coy
ernor would not have felt it necessary
to disapprC We of the present mode of
appointment. AS changes are taking
place, and Judges elected from the
Republican ranks begin to take their

The proposition of the capital syndi
cate at Bismarck for Burleigh county to
issue 100000 bonds to relieve nine OF the
citizens OF Bismarck, who guaranteed
the above amount for the location Of the
capital. was carried last Tuesday by
about two hundred majority. AS the
proposition was illegal. it is doubtful
whether the bonds can be disposed Of
for any thing like their face value. Un
donbtcdly the next move of the capita
schemers will be to elect legislature
next year which will legalize last Tues
days election. This done, their bond,
may lie worth something. But lust vail
until it is done.-Grand Forks Herald.
The bonds voted by the riugsters Of

the object set forth, it would not hesi.

worth asking for in formal manner by
representatives of Dakota in convention
