Experiment.

Take it as rule farmers are very con-
servative class of people. in many cases
too much so for their own good. We
would not by any means advise that they
expend their money on new inventions and
production of any kind without some good
proof that the same will be a lasting ben
eft to them. .'Let well enough alone"
is an old motto, and sometimes hits the
case. but no truly enterprising agricultur-
ist will rest satisfied with his present con-
milton and advantages. He will look be-
yond, and endeavor to anticipate the needs
and wants OF those who will come after
him, and this will cause him to expert
ment. 1t may be upon a small scale,
with imperfect material and facilities.
but his labors will not be in vain.
Some of our best fruits are the results of
accidents mere chance - while others
were evolved from long and varied expert
ments. A small piece of ground con-
venient to the dwelling should be set off
for experimental purposes. Let each one
pursue his own course, and work out his
own ideas. If no good is accomplished.
he will soon discover his mistake, and
may then be able to change his theories
and strike out anew. The production Of
new fruits and vegetables, or the improve
ment of those we now have, may be the
outcome of some of there experiments.
Then, again. the experimental garden will
afford fine opportunities for testing var
ious kinds OF fertilizers, and modes OF ap-
plication. We are told that there is much
to be learned yet concerning vegetable lite.
Physiological laws are so various in their
manifestations. owing to the varied con-
ditions surrounding them, that science
may be said to stand merely upon the
outer Threshold OF their mysteries; what
then may we be expected to behold when
the inner portals are entered? Give.
then, a portion of your time. if need be
but very small portion, to experimental
research in the vast field of nature. Your
discoveries may seem but OF little i'm
portance now. but may be of great value
in the years to come.

A new and not uninterestinR feature
in the capital contest is the executive
order lnstructing territorial officers to
move themselves and their public effects
to Bismarck within fifteen days from the
PRONUNCIATION Of the order, which is
dated September llth. The governor
doubtless bases his cdict upon q clause
in the capital commission bill clothing
him with authority to temporarily locate
the capital OF Dakota pending the con-
struction of buildings. The order, we
understand lis accompanied by a long legal
opinion, the product Of the imagination
OF the attorney general Of the territory
Of Dakota. This doubtless makes il
more binding. The act under which the
governor issues this command has been
declared unconstitutional and void by
the second judicial district court and is
therefore harmless in its nature.
1t is not probable that it
will be obeyed by any of the officers,
with the exception of the auditor, who is
the governors son and is, in accordan ce
with popular usage, expected to COM
ply with the orders Of his father. It is q
mere question Of family discipline. The
governor has exhibited his usual cum
ming in choosing time when the judges
OF the two southern districts are absent
and the power of injunction thereby de-
MED the public. He does not care to
face the dangers Of judicial interference
and therefore so shapes his plans as to
avoid conflict in the courts.

editor responded, and upon going into

cordially welcomed. In answer TO an
lnquiring attitude the governor stated
that he wished to place an advertisement
In the Herald and handed the editor a
notice for publication in regard to the
proposed territorial penitentiasy. He
then insisted upon talking about current
matters in which he knew the editor was
interested and drifted into politics, re-
citing to his listener tho unfortunate

territory BY reason Of the management

The Honest Confession of A.oiher News

Yankton Herald.
1t said that an honest confession is
good for the soul and it is certain that q
couple of Dakota newspaper editors have
this week been trying the efficacy
OF this adage. Last Tuesday the Sioux
Falls Press contained lengthy article
in which it is stated that in the early
days OF OrdWay as the territorial execu.
tive, that Official made visit to Sioux
Falls and sought an interview with the
present editor of the Press, then editor
OF the Paragraph, during which the off.
cial made confdipg overtures to the
newspaper man to Join the former and
become a part of a grand political com.
bination which it was promised would
control all the offices and affairs Of the
territory and would permit
unbounded opportunities for
emoluments and place to be
enjoyed by those who should be upon
the inside. The proposition was intent.
ly pondered by the newspaper man who
now states, after the lapse Of three years,
that the offer was refused, though
doubtless not very savagely spurned.
Our neighboring contemporary on Wed.
nesday reprinted the confession OF the
editor of the Press and followed with q
like statement alleging that at latter
date Ordway appointed a private confer.
ence with the editor Of the Press and
Dakotaian in which he made the same
promises as to grand and all powerful
combination for controlling the politics
and patronage Of the territory. In that
interview the governor repeated what
he had said TO the Sioux Falls
man-that he had almost omnipo.

The upper floors of the building where the
fire occurred were occupied by 10 servants.
The fire stated close to a narrow stairway
and was carried to the roof by the draft,
cutting of escape by that means and forming
barrcade which pr vented the men sleep
ing in the south half of the building from
reaching another stairway at the north end
Hence these unforunates were almost smoth-
ERGO by the smoke, were compelled to climb
out on frame structure abutting over an
alley and thence to jump or lower themselves
by pulcys rugged fer hosting supplies. One
man was seen TO start down the stairway be-
fore the IRE reached the third floor and an
hour later his crisped corpse was found near
the foot of the stairs. Another employee was
found dead on smoking mattress in his bed.
The female help all escaped by the north end
stairway, save one who broke her ankle in
jumping to the roof of the shed. The fire
crossed the alley to the furniture ware rooms
