THE NEW POST-iL NOTE.


A Great Convenience to the Public in the
Negotiation of Small Business Transac-
tioos.
Postmaster Day has received specimens
of the new postal note which is to be is
sued on October 1 next. It will prove a
great convenience to the business interests
of the country. 1t will prove of especial
value to newspapers and smaller concerns
which now receive remittances of less
than 81 in postage stamps. The latter
often constitute drug with business houses
that receive them in large quantities, and
have to be sold at a sacrifice in all cases.
With the introduction of the note person
living in st. Paul and wishing to send any
sum below S. to any one in Chicago, goes
to the st. Paul postofice and deposits the
same with fee of three cents. The post
master will then punch two holes, to the
right of the order and showing the dimes
or cents deposited and dollars if so
much, two more holes to the left
through month and year. He will then
atfix his stamp and signature, and hand
over the note without any further trouble.
For the three months during which the
note is good it will be ready substitute
for legal tender in the towns both of the
issuing and receiving offices. To get the
money the note is simply presented. The
postmaster will have had duplicate
mailed to him. The provision of making
1t payable within three months from the
last day of the month of issue will in some
instances extend its legal tender value
four months, if be issued during the first
days of any month. 1t affords no security
to either party, but in that respect is nc
worse than fractional currency or any
other paper money. 1t is principally de
signed as matter of convenience, and as
such fills big gap in small business
transactions

The Great Rirer.

The Mandan Pioneer feels badly because
the Missouri river is robbed of some OF
her alleged glory. 1t says: Is not the
Missouri river being wronged considerably
Here we have stream which runs nearly a
couple of thousand miles and then re-
ceives into itself the waters of the Missis-
sippi, and by what name is the joint river
called? Why-Mississippi? Obviously,
this is unfair and wrong. The great faith
er of waters would not be father were it
not for the Missouri. Our river is regard
ed by the world as being tributary to the
Missouri, while as matter of fact the
Mississippi is tributary to the Mis-
souri,. 1t is difficult to account for this
strange fact. Perhaps it is because the
Mississippi has along its banks the greatest
population, and the people were able to
wrong noble though muddy stream by
ignoring its name. Anyhow an obvious
wrong has been done noble river. Per-
haps it cannot be changed now. At the
same time it is we'll that the wrongs should
be pointed out and remembered.

Bismarck Tribune: President Hughes,
of the capital commission, and Governor
Ordway, were inspecting the capitol
grounds yesterday with view to selecting
a location for the capitol building, and
beginning the work of excavating to-day
Men were started upon the digging OF
ground yesterday to see what could be OBJ
tanned as resting strata to the foundation
Although no point has been definitely de-
cided upon, it is safe to say that the build.
ing will be located either at the head OF
Sixth street, or between Sixth and Seventh
streets. As to the laying out of the grounds
the Madison, Wis, plan is spoken favor

One OF the M0e,rells.

Huron Huronite: Ed. Maxwell, one of
the notorious Maxwell brothers who killed
the Coleman brothers in Durand, Wis, in
July, 1881, has been making his home for
the past month or more at ranch eight
miles northeast of Blunt, Dakota. He has
been interviewed by reporter of this pa
per. He is well 'heeled,'' carrying three
heavy Colt revolvers and pair of pocket
derringers. He says if the authorities
leave him alone, he will settle down.sand
become good citizen; that he is tired OF
being hunted with price on his head, but
that he will never be taken alive. He is
constantly on the watch for treachery, and
betrays restlessness in all his actions.
The officer who captures him, if that should
ever happen, will have to take him entirely
by surprise, or there will be tragedy. A
few days since he received word from some
of his friends that certain officials had
struck his trail, and he quietly vanished,
going, it is believed, across the Missouri
river.

The Strike at Bismarck,

Bismarck probably suffers worse from
the effect of the telegraph strike than any
other town in the northwest One night
recently an operator went to taking press
report, but didn't continue, owing to ex-
traneeus pressure applied to the seat OF
his pants. He was called up while in bed
escorted to the Tribune Office, connections
made with the wire, machine attached
and report taken until quite late hour
The Tribune has the following editorial on
the subject:
The condition of the telegraph strike so
far as Bismarck is concerned, is becoming
serious. Manager Draper is doing the
best he can single handed, but it being i'm
possible for him to work night and day,
the Tribune's telegraph service is seriously
crippled. Yesterday two operators arriv-
ed from st. Paul, but the strikers had them
corraled before 8 o'clock, and at $50 p.
m. the commercial Office was closed. The
'scabs," as they are called, had been in
timidated, or induced it is not known
which, and will leave on this mornings
train for the east. However, the Tribune
managed to get a little report this morn
ing, but 1t required the ingenuity of the
whole force to accomplish it. The strik-
ing operators can find out at this Office
how it was done.

CONGRATULATIONS

In another place in this issue of the
GLOBE is reproduced from the Bnffalo Cou-
rier its approving remarks upon the late
Democratic state convention of Minneso-
ia. Appreciation in well doing is always
gratifying, but in this instance it is especi-
ally so. 1t is something for a minority
party to command public respect, and for
this reason, as the Courier well says, the
Minnesota Democracy is becoming strong
er and better qualified to cope with its po.
litical opponents. Candidates may ap-
pear and disappear, principles, live and
brave, generous, sincere men remain to
carry the old banner, to maintain unbro-
ken ranks, to continue unwearied in well
doing. There never was brighter time
for the Democratic party of the country
than now. For long, adverse years they
have held the Fort, like heroes. The hour
of glorious triumph approaches.

the other day.the President was very coldly
received, indeed. While suffering somewhat
from this abashment the news of the New
Hampshire disaster reached him, and he
became very much depressed, and on his
arrival at Chicago had not recovered from
the dependency, and consequently failed
to create the impression in that city, which
otherwise might have been possible.
Omen number three.
The President will do we'll to carefully
study these omeps. They certainly furnish
food for contemplative thought. He
should summon to his aid
the seers of his party and
scan the future, instead of as now. listen.
ing to the pleasing tales of the time serv-
ing courtiers, who, moth like, futter in the
gliding of his accidental greatness. If he
is wise he will listen to the omened voices
and step cautiously.

Our advices this morning are to the eff
feet that the telegraphers' strike is practi-
cally at an end, and the striking operators
are resuming their duties at all the princi-
pal points, east and west The failure of
this strike affords but slight encourage
ment for future assaults by the working
classes against their employers. The
telegraphers were better organized than
any other class of workmen in the country
they had the unqualified support of the
Knights of Labor, and their occupation
was of such nature that their positions
could not be filled by every Tom, Dick and
Harry who might come along. The tele-
graph companies have trlumphed, however,
and the operators must submit to the ir-
evitable, no matter how distasteful it may
be to them.

Quite serious accident occurred about
o'clock yesterday afternoon, which in

of the Capital bank of this city. At the
hour named Mr.. Reed, in company with
his son, was driving down Fifth street in q

carriage came into collision with farm
ers' wagon. The driver of the latter. a
man named Grubbean, was abont

the pole of the wagon struck Mr.. Reed
knocking him from the buggy, and in fall
ing he narrowly escaped striking a pile OF
stones. AS it was he fell to the ground
with great force, and was picked up in
an insensible condition by Marketmaster
O'Reegan, who happened to be in the
vicinity.
Restoratives were applied and he soon
recovered conciousness, when it was found
that he had sustained no serious injury
He was removed to his residence.

! their growing wheat in South Dakota the
excessive moisture of the previous month
had the effect of tempering the light wind
That blew almost constantly, which
really made 1t more refreshing in
the breeze, unprotected from the sum-
than indoors cut off from the breeze; the
thermometer ranged above 100 degrees in
the shade for several days. In central and
North Dakota the heat was even greater,
at jamestown registering 107 il the shade;
in addition the ground had become dry,
and considerable damage was caused to
the growing grain, and at one time it was
supposed the crops would be almost
failure, but rains came about the 10th of
the month which caused q marked i'm
provement in the prospects, especially in
ground we'll farmed; but three counties
reported crops suffering for want Of rain
on July l28, namely, Day, Sphinx and
Brown. During the month of
July hailstorms visited
number OF loca.Itles throughout the
territory, but were generally confined to
narrow limits, and though destructive to
the crops of a few farmers, the general
average will not be changed thereby. The
blight is the dreaded enemy OF spring
wheat in this locality, yet but slight in
jury has occurred from this cause this
season. No damage from insects has been
| reported.
The wheat harvest in South Dakota is
in full blast; the straw is bright and the
heads large, and the crop is even better
than the good crop of last year; the berry
is plump and full, and indications are
that it will largely grade No. 1. In North

menced Cass county has the largest
area IN wheat of any county in the terri
tory, and reports a prospect of the best

The wheat crop is the bone and sinew es
trade in north Dakota, and the farmer
and business men generally have expert
enced great relief in having escaped the
threatening aspect of the drouth in the
early part of July. The promise on the
1st of August is for yield of about seven
teen bushels per acre for the whole terri
tory, which, with the increased acreage,
will give yield of little over 100000

OHINOUS OMENS.

The friends of the president say he be-
lleves in omens. He wouldn't for anything
look at the moon over his left shoulder,
although he goes fishing of a Sunday. Since
Arthur is candidate for President he is
Icing greatly troubled by omens and
gnawed by superstition. His secretary of
the Treasury ran for Governor of New York
and was beaten overwhelmingly. The
majority against Judge Folger in the state
of New York was the greatest ever
rolled up against and on top of any man
who ever stood before the people as can
didate for Office.
That defeat was great shock to Arthur.
This thing happened in the Presidents
own state, where always before Judge
Folger had been an exceptionally strong
and popular man. The whole force of the
administration with its vast command of
men and money was thrown in favor of the
Judge. The more the administration
stroVe for him the greater was the momen-
tum with which he went down.
The weight of the administration
crushed the man who had never before
suffered defeat, and was thought to be too
strong for any such misadventure.
This is bad omen for Arthur.
just now another member of the admin
istration has been smitten with crushing
defeat. VIM. E. Chandler, the Secretary
or the Navy, went into the senatorial can
vass In New Hampshire, first for Mr.. RoI-
lins, and after he was beaten, for himself.
He conducted his forces in person, having
the support of the administration and the
assistance of the Federal Office holders and
the backing of the "machine'' that had
never before failed him. He buIlied. he
promised and plead. But he went down
In maelstrom of defeat.
The draft upon New Hampshire uttered
by the administration was dishonor,d
Chandler not only failed to reach the goal.
but succeeded in getting things in such a
condition that the probability is, that if
Arthur is the Republican nominee. the
electoral vote of New Hampshire will be
given to the Democratic candidate.
This is very bad omen for Arthur.
