AN OMNIBUS
Crushed by a Falling Flagstaff.
BosToN, Nav 30.

BosToN, May 30.
The wooden flagstaff, so feet in height, on
the store of r II. White & Co, Washington
street, was blown into the street this morning
during the high wind. 1t fell upon passing
omnibus of the Hathorn line, containing five
or six passengers, crushing it and knocking
the driver to the ground. The coach passed
over him, injuring him probably fatally.
None of the passenger were hurt. A portion
of the cornish of the building was knocked
off, and fell, striking an unknown man,
crushing his skull. and infiicting serious in
juries. A coupe standing in front of the
store was wrecked. The affair caused great
excitement One or two others were slightly
hurt. 1t is now believed none of the injuries
will prove fatal.

Badly 9trr,rtbtf 5ournaI.
Augusta. Wednesday Morning, Nay 80.
A Fight for Principle.

In the eighteen years of peace which
have followed the rebellion there has
been convincing proof that the war on the
part of the government and its results
have been of vast benefit to the nation.
Had the Southern States been permitted
to establish government as they designed,
this country would have been divided in
such manner that its prosperity would
have been destroyed The doctrine Of
secession once established there would
have been no limit to its action. State al
ter State might have seeded and set up
its government after the right of seces-
sion was once acknowledged. Instead Of
two governments there might have been
several in existence by this time.
The result of the war. however, put an
end to the idea Of the dismemberment OF
this government. 1t settled it for all time
that these States are one and inseparable.
The great fear Of the founders Of the
government in regard to the stability of
their work arose from doubts Of its
strength to withstand internal strife, but
the suppression of the rebellion manifested
that their doubts and fears were not we'll
founded. The government was stronger
after the rebellion than before Our
flag never waved so proudly in foreign
ports as after it had been borne trium-
phantly through the war. That was the
crucial test of the republic. Conqueror in
that its strength for every emergency was
proved.
The war removed human slavery from
our land. This curse upon our country
was wiped out for the country's good. As
long as slavery existed it would have
been menace to free institutions. Free
labor and slave labor could not exist to-
gether. One had to be abolished, and
slavery went to the wall. The South
was unwilling to be reconciled to the
abolition of slavery, but we believe the
time is not far distant when even the South
will be thankful for its extinction.
The progress and prosperity of the ma
ton since the rebellion have been won
deriul. In all ways the country has been
blessed. The growth of manufactures,
the increase of the products of agri-
culture, the settlement of our western
lands. the rush of immigration to our
shores, the extension of railroads. the in
crease of population. in these and all d.
rections tending to the upbuilding of a
powerful government we have been pros
pered. And under God it is to the men
who sustained the old flag in the rebel
lion that we owe thanks for these things.
They fought for something besides glory,
or to test their strength with the South !;
they fought and died for principles vital
to the existence of the nation, and for this
their graves should be honored and their
names kept in remembrance.

Letter from Dakota.
A WORD OF CAUTION TO New ESGLASDER
WHO THINK OF EMIGRArING.


BISMARCK. OAK, May 23, 1888.
To the Editor of the Journal:
As look over the list of the arrivals of
Eastern people in our different cities. al
most feel alarmed at the prospect for some
who come. and others who will yet come. I'M
less properly warned. So please allow true
friend of Eastern people to give them few
true ideas of Western life.
Our cities are crowded with people of all
nations, all after the same mighty dollar.
Every available chance is taken for people
who have come to take land and improve it
all they can. ! find great many CT the
Eastern men are either bankrupts, come here
to get clear Of their creditors, or else men OF
small means. Now please allow me to give
few words of kindly advice to those intend
ing to come to Dakota or Montana.
Unless you have lots of ''sand and stick
or friends here or plenty of money, l would
advise those holding decent positions to re.
tain them until they have something to start
with, and those with no positions, unless Gas
sHIu pViotSl hh'C VI moucNs 4
would advise. to first be sure of work in COM
ing here, OF else stay at home. Land is very
plenty here, but one must GO off 80 or 40
miles from Bismarck or such points in order
to secure it. and then you must have capital
enough to live on for year or more.
Eastern people, as general rule, do not
realize how much privation and what hard
ships they must pass through out here. SO
now my Eastern friends, l would advise you
not to be rash or hurried in your movements
toward the West; but ''be sure you are right.
then go ahead" Have noticed number OF
returns to the East of parties who are dis
gusted with the country; but it is their fault,
not the country's.
They are lacking something either "sand"
or money"
And those intending emigration will do
we'll to ponder on my few ideas for few
hours at least. and perhaps they will not be
50 much disappointed.
for one wish to see Dakota all settled up,
and also have interest here, yet repeat to
all, "be sure you are right"
From one of New England's truest friends.

More Testimony for the Defence.

BOsToN, May 80.
At the Tewksbury hearing, Miss Alzna

sufficiepcy of bathing facilities. Everything

Governor-"Did you hear him say that l

Marshes out, but that | never would?'

The Mormon missionaries in the western
part of this State, near Rutherfor,en, induced
large number of women to join the church
of the Latter Day Saints. Great excitement
and indignation prevail by the announcement
that the ceremonies of baptising the new con-
verts we're attended by the most horrible
orgies that ever disgraced the so-called civ
ilized community. All that was previously
known of the abomination OF Mormonism was
eclipsed by scenes that took place on this oc-
casion, as was the case two years ago. The
Mormons will probably be attacked and
driven out the State. Lynchine is feared.
