He Ripped and Roarcd." /"

Letcher Blade: When Secretary Teller
returned from here to Yankton, two or
three weeks ago and informed that i'm.
perial autocrat, Gov. Ordway, that the
officers OF this county refused to worship
at his shrine. he ripped and roared
around like an irate pirate and swore
that he would have us all in the peni-
tentlary in ninety days. From this we
learn that when the governor appoints
county commissioners they should locate
the county seat where he wants it and
not where they do, that they should buy
their records of the Sioux City Journal
which pays him homage and not from
the Press and Dakotaian which shows
him no reverence, that they should rec.
ognlze his unlimited power aud immac.
ulate perfection, aud in all things sub.
ordinate their every act, and even their
Official existence to his imperious will
On the other hand Nehemiah has learned
that he can appoint commissioners but
cannot revoke their commissions, that
when appointed the functions of Their
Office devolve upon them and not upon
him, and that the men that he is trying
to bulldoze scorn his threats, defy his
power and hold both him and his
methods in utter contempt. As between
the two parties it seems to us that Nehe.
miah has got the best of the bargain fol
he has learned the most.

acreage OF wheat here is fully fifty pc,
cent in excess Of that Of previous years
while in oats and fax the increase ID
even greater. Accounts from the Red
river valley and other portions of north.
ern Dakota make it appear that the
wheat crop there has partially recovered
from the effects Of the early drouth and
that fair yield will be the results Of the
seasons work. A fair yield in that region
is equivalent to q large yield in most
other wheat producing tracts, 80 We NAV
expect comparatively large supply Of
breadstuffs from that section. Central
Dakota also experienced the drawback
of summer droutb. from which it rallied
later through it will give rather short
crop. This is about the condition
throughout Dakota. The average will
be good one.

nriblnr the Innocents


Sioux Falls Press: Well. it seems that
the architects who intended submitting
plans for the Bismarck capital not only
had in their minds designs for the build
ing, but also designs upon the builders.
Why they actually wanted to bribe the
governor! Think of that, once! They
are so little acquainted with his charac-
ter that they wanted to influence him
with money-that is, with not enough
money. In an interview in the Bis
marck Tribune of the 10th the governor
says: "The fact of the matter is, these
architects attempted to bribe the COM
missioners. and would have approached
me if they hadn't considered me too
heavy for them" Too much cannot be
said against this practice of bribery
where an angle-worm is used to bait the
hook for shark. A shark is too heavy
for an angle-worm. The report of the in.
terview continues: "Capt. Hughes was
next seen and repeated the statements
of the governor charging the giddy
architects with attempted bribery" And
again: "Mr. Mckenzie continued, 'One
of them approached me with bribe,
and after failing to subsidize me asked
me to bribe the governor o heavens! !
and has it come to this, that there should
be anywhere an idea that the great and
good governor is susceptible to personal
benefits? Perish the thought-or, that
is, let's see: Now there's his county seat
schemes, and his capital commission deal,
and his son for territorial auditor, and
his dickering with official appointments,
and his universal condemnation by the
people, and his-well, thought. you
needn't perish yet for while.

The editor of the Bismarck Capital as.
sumes to know what it does not know
and in the absence Of knowledge puts
forth assertions which bear every appear.
ance of gubernatorial dictation. The
Capital editor is controlled more by
mercenary motives than by an honest
desire to treat mankind fairly and con.
scientiously. His statement that Judge
Edgerton traded seat in the United
states senate for q Dakota judgship
with the expectation of securing six
years lease of senatorial position from
the state of Dakota contains no truth.
We have nm acquaintance with the men
who suggested and urged Judge Edger.
ton for the place he now holds. 1t was
with extreme difficulty that they induced
him to consent and even then it was
feared that he might reconsider his
conclusion. Dakota needs more men oi
Judge Edgertor's purity and integrity
1t is probable that the people would not
be avcrse to carrying out the Capitals
suggestion to send him to the United
States senate for six years-or even fol
twelve.

The Florida Ship Canal

New York. Aug. 2O-The meeting OF
the board of directors OF the Florida
ship canal and transit company adjourn.
ed to-day after four days session.
Among those present were Hon. John
Brown, President Geo. G. Graham, Ssc'y.
George Cameron, Senator Malone and
others. Chief Engineer Stone made an
exhaustive report as to the practibility
and cost Of construction of the canal.
The report was eminently satisfactory
Gen. Stone states that he made per.
sonal examination of the proposed route
in company with corps of efficient en-.
gineers. He computes that q
slde.water ship canal of sufi
Gent width and depth to allow
the passage OF two sea-going steamers
of the first.class without inconvenience
will be constructed at total cost of $46,.
100000, as follows: Excavations, S36, 6,OOO,,
600; harbors and alternatives $4,OOO,OO0
engineering, right of way and contin.
gencies, $5,000,000. The total length oi
the canal will be 1917 miles, and the
height of elevation in crossing water
l43 feet, but this deep cut will be only
for short distance. "A large amount Of
excavation can be made by steam
dredges. Mr.. Stone reports that the
engineering difficulties are decidedly
less than he expected. On the com.
mercial advantages of the canal Mr.
Stone mentioned the following as the
most important: First. great saving
of distance between the Gulf of Mexico
shores and other parts OF the Atlantic
States and Europe; second, the com
plete avoidance of great danger to navi.
CATION through the Florida straits; the
saving OF distance on steam vessels be-
tween New Orleans of 500 miles; New
Orleans aud Liverpool of 4l2; New York
and Pensacola of 600 miles. Mr.. Stone
also states that the coral will also lessen
insurance rates, which are now very
high on vessels passing through Florids
straits, being as much as from $500 t.
$500 per day on the largest class o.
steamers. Mr.. Stone reports that within
six weeks he will be prepared to begir
the detailed location Of the service.

The many coarse filings and coarser
criticisms of Governor Ordway which the
Yankton Press and horde of country
imitators are guilty of are due entirely
to spite and malice. Viewed in that
light they lose their sting, and ere long
the grave of oblivion will claim it's victory
over the pitifully short lived offspring
of brains that are already paralytic and
will soon be dead or hopelessly idlotlc.-
Bismarck Tribune.
The Tribune is becoming savagely
severe, and in its savage severity is en-.
deavorisg to establish condition which
does not exist. The criticisms being
passed upon Governor Ordway are all
prompted by his own acts as an officer
and their natural sequence-the feeling
that Dakota must rid itself of con.
scienceless lobber who prostitutes posi-.
tion to the attainment of personal ends
The Tribune will know him as he Is, on
further acquaintance.

Ordway's motive in debating the &C.
ceptance of Architect Bufington's plans
for the Bismarck capitol has finally been
made apparent. The Bismarck Capital
Announces:
The condition upon which Architect
Burlington assumes charge of the work
is that w. L. Dow act as assistant archi.
tect, the two to accept three per cent. of
the cost Of construction of the building
as compensation for their services for
preparing plans, specifications, detailed
estimates and supervising the construc.
tion of the building.
Mr.. Dow, who is resident OF Yankton,
was imported from New Hampshire by
Governor Ordway at the beginning ol
his reign. He has had charge of the con.
struction Of all Of Dakota's public build.
ings SO far. He is competent architect,
but is "deep in" with Ordway and is
thrifty enough to know that obedience
to the governor is money in his own
pocket.

ria, Group and ganSrcnc are identical dis
eases: that diphthcria is by no means linz
tied To what we sec in the pharny1, as any
abradcd surface may be transformed with Il
genuine case of diphtheria: that it is Il. local
and nota constitutional disease; that any sore
throat may become diphthcritic without anv
contagion: that diphtheritic poison injected
into the blood is perfectly harmless. it lirst
being necessary tomalc u wound and keep
it in Il state OF irritation before diphtheritic
poison introduced into it could produce the
desired effect; that the disease abounds in
low. swampy places; that diphtheria and mic
rococ"i, minute vegetable fungi, are insep-
araby associatcd-''no micrococci, no diph-
liberia said the Doctor: that the diphtheri-
tic poison can not affect healthy person:
there must be IN abraded surface: and no
healthy child can get it unless it has a sore
throat already: that, in his opinion, micrococ-
ci did not produce the initial lesion; that any
sore throat may end in diphthcria, and the
line cannot be drawn where sore throat ends
and diphthei'a begins: and, finally that
diphthcria isa spontaneous disease and not
infectious, strictly speaking.

THE BEDSrEAD or AN EAST INDIAN
PEINCE-Therc is on view in Paris at the
present time u bed of rare and singular con-
struction. which has been made TO the or
der of an Indian prince, and is about to be
sent out to him. The bedstead. which is of
satinwood, with large plates of silver re-
trousse work, is very beautifully carved.
and has cost upward Of t2400. The most
original part of This bed is the mattress,
which has been fitted up as musical box,
so that directly any one lies down it plays
tunes selected from Gounod's operas At
the four corners Of the bed are four statues,
representing young girls of Greek, Spanish,
Italian and French nationality, their only
ornament being gold snake bracelet twist
ed round the wrist which holds the fan they
, are waving over the sleeper By an ingen-
ious contrivance of the artist employed to
cast these statues the eyes have been made
to move; and the realistic appearance of
these young ladies is heightened by the ad-
dition of four wigs in four shades of color,
supposed to be typical of each nation. The
arms of the Rajah are carved at the head of
the bedstead, which, though, in shocking
bad taste is marvel of workmanship.-a
