To READERS OF THE DEFIANCE:
We boarded the Central Rail.
road 4 A. M. trian on the Lords
Day. Although it was the Sab
bath, and at that early hour, the
hurry and hustle Of city life were
perceptible as well as the disre-
gard Of the sacred day.
Nothing worthy Of note occur
red between this city and Macon,
except the Agent throwing up
his catch at each station, as the
postmaster stood by with lamp in
hand.
Arriving at Macon he received
new cargo of mail, and then the
idlers and street loungers, and
others who were off duty throng-
ed to see the arrival of the train
as though it were the middle OF
the week and not Sunday.
Moving on toward the Forest
City, we saw nothing to remind
us Of it's being the Sabbath, until
we reached Toombsborough, there
the crane was empty; the postmas-
q + had laid aside his every day
duty for one more pleasant anc
suitable 10 the day. The mail agent
cried out mail, and the answer
came, Owe want no mail on Sun
day."
We take this occasion to say
that the United States Congress
with it's exalted ideas Of civiliza.
tion and Christianity by statutes
should abolish handling of mail
at post Offices and postal cars on
Sunday.
Some one will argue that the
mail accumulatiug on the Sabbath
could not be distributed OH Mon
day by the some force.

Having reached the city by

The Present Abundant Promise.
Fargo Argus

fNrSO ATRuf
1t is the common statement in the
wheat growing states. particularly
the winter wheat regions, that the
crop is never safe till il is thrrshed,
sold and the money is in the pocket
of the grower. 1t often happens
there that rains and storms destroy
or greatly damage the crop after it is
cut. These contingencies are so few
and rare in North Dakota as to hard
ly be regarded us possibilities. With
a crop in fine condition as at present.
firmly rooted. good color, and well adj
vanced, with an even stand. and ~
season almost faultless in all points
needful for the development of the
great cereal, no future events. except
death and taxes, can bc discounted
with such apparent safety as that the
crop of No. hard will he this year
surpassed by none grown i'll the his
tOric period. 1t is related in some
ancient volume that envions OF NAL
icious parties once destroyed Il splcn-
did crop of ripening wheat by fire,
employing an immense number OF
foxes with torches attached to their
affrighted narratives as the incend-
iary agents. Nothing more probable
than n repetition of that ingenious
and somewhat Legendary procedure
seems now likely to come between
the present abundant promise and
the golden fruition that will make
glad every man, woman and child IN
terested in the prosperity OF tins glo-
rious land-the Canaan OF the new
world. With the crop of wheat in
prospect in market at the good iigur'
now foreseen. money will be abund-
ant in this land, and if there is not a
boom of unprecedented proportions,
there will be an influx and suhSt"E-
tial growth that will astonish eN'n
those who have witnessed the Won
derful development OF the past few
wears. There are neither foxes or
birds of i'll omen in the land. The
latter have failed to see the mama
drop day by day into their open
gaping. ugly mouths without effort on
their part, and have gone back TO the
grayeyards of the old regions. The

and will reap the rewards of faith.

"Dakota not a Paradise" is the
caption of half-column article in
the Chicago Journal. Well, we did
not suppose any one thought it was.
The fact is, Dakota is not any better
nor any worse than were Illinois and
Iowa in an early day. History re-
peats itself in the settlement of all
new countries. The day has been
when just as bad and just as good
things were said of Illinois and Iowa
as are said of Dakota to-day. Time
will settle the matter, and will add
