Shelter the Machinery.

The jamestown Capital deals the care
less farmer this seasonable side-wipe: 1t
is a painful thing for one driving
through the country to see that many of
the slovenly habits of the farmers are
brought along with them to their new
homes on the prairies, instead of being
left behind among the old things to which
they belong. Farm machinery is in
many cases left standing exposed to all
the changes of weather instead of being
under cover. Dealers in farm machin-
cry notice with the twinkling of the eye
that they will soon have chance to du-
plicate many Of their sales. 1t does not
pay to neglect machinery any more than
it does live stock, and those who do so
will become losers to an important ex-
tent. An implement house is one of the
most important institutions on the farm;
and nothing indicates the character or
prophesies the success or failure of the
husbandman more surely than the care
he takes of his implements and tools.
Until proper house can be built to re-
ceive it, at least a temporary shelter
should be made to protect the machinery
from the weather.

eyes. Ed, the information was cor
rect. Exemplary" isgood; now, go thou
and do likewise. Don't think of spending
another winter in single wretchedness.
Cold weather is approaching. and you
must know by this time that it is mighty
uncomfortable to live alone, as there
isn't much consolation in the song of
the blizzard, or satisfaction in knowing
that you must have to sew on your own
buttons, etc.
Go where, dear boy? We would be
perfectly willing to ''do likewise" but
feel unaquainted with the methods ap-
pertaining thereto, and then we don't
know where wretches of our sinful make
up are marketable to good advantage.

A Little Condensed History.

A recent interesting letter written by
Col. Pat Donan for the st. Louis Globe
Democrat contains the following:
sTwenty years ago the fierce and Warllke
Sioux held the whole territory, and the
hardy and adventurous white settlers
were covering In barracks and stockades
at Yankton and Sioux Falls, or fleeing
in terror from the scalping knives OF
Little Crow, Red Cloud and Two Bears.
Ten wears ago large tract of its broad
plains and valleys was the unexplored
roaming place of the buffalo and dusky
savage. Eight years ago Indian war
parties were raiding all over the western
and central portions of the territory, and
killed many ventureSOme prOspectOrs in
the Black Hills region; and but seven
short years ago they massacred Custer
and his command in the wild canyons
of the Little Big Horn, just over the
Montana line.
s'In the brief time since then-scarcely
clock tick in the annals of nations and
their mighty march forWard-the vast
and unknown wilderness has become
one of creations garden spots, teeming
with life and activity, and resonant with
the music of prosperous industry. Rail
roads have stretched their iron arms far
and vide in every direction. Mines that
are veritable treasure houses of the gods
have been opened, and the thunder OF
their stamp mills shake the everlasting
hills. Horizon-fenced wheat fields have
unrolled their glory of waving gold be
fore the eyes Of all the world, and thrifty
and beautiful cities and towns have
risen like magic exalations everywhere
amid the wild prairie grass strewn with
the skulls and bones Of the scarce de-
partel buffalo,

Not to Blame.

A few weeks since an item appeared
in these columns not exactly flattering
to Capt. Ed. s. Bear in the discharge of
his duties as chief head clerk of the r.
NJ. S. 1t has elected the following from
an old friend to the Courier who is we'll
posted on matters pertaining to the
Railway Mail Service of the Northwest:
''DEAR E. D.:-I regretted to see the
item you published against Ed. Bean
last week: 1t is being copied by papers
unfavorable to him very generally, and
know, he is a No. good fellow, and
can say is doing all he can (which is but
repetition of the dictates of his super
iors for each and every section so far as
you want s.to go for'' anyone, why, go
to the top-the department or those in
high power"
If the Courier did Mr. Bean an injury
it is glad of this opportunity to correct
it, for personally he has our kindest feel
ing. That he can do much to keep our
service in good running order without
being dictated to by his superiors there
is no doubt, but if he has exercised the
full limit Of his power then he is to be
exonerated. There is a shortage of
postal clerks in North Dakota, and to
this fact much of the trouble may be
traced. We will suggest to Mr.. Bean
that clerks be instructed to "sling'
Cooperstown mail to Sanborn 'sdis" i'll
stead of to Valley City, as quite a per
centage of our mail has been thrown to
the latter place, thus delaying it one or
two daYs.

TILDEN AND THE PRFSIDENCY,

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore SIN writes that the
declaration by Ex-Governor Hendricks
that he would accept ( denomination
by the Democrats rs q candidate for
Vicc-Prcsidcnt with Tildcn has created
quite a sensation all over the country.
The statement is the more surprising
when it is remembered that hc was
openly hostile to Tildcn III 1876, and
refused to recognize him rs the leader
in that campaign. The writer con
cludcs in these words.
If Mr. Tiidcn should consent to stand
again as a candidate, after what Mr.. Hen
dricks has said, it is more than improbable
that any objection would be raised from
any quarter of the Democratic camp to tho
enthusiastic denomination of the old ticket
Of 1876. None can doubt the absolute GER
tainty of its election, for the master hand
of Mr.. Tillen would so dictate the policy
of the campaign rs to avoid the shoals and
quicksands of tariff discussion
For our part we have always adj
mircd Mr.. Tildcn, and We do not hcsi.
tate TO say that we regard him as the
ablcst political organizer in the party.

paign whose "mastcr hand would SO
dictate the policy OF the party as to
aro'0 tho shoals and quicksands OF
tariff discussions" WE MUST NOT
AVOID TIE TARIFF oUEsT1oN-on the
contrary il is the duty of the Demo-
cratic party to meet the issue of issues
with open and manly frankncss, and
II boldly and judiciously handled, the
"outs" will, upon the hootl-tilc of
frcc-trade, ride on to victory and to
powerl
If Mr.. Tildcn is orthodox upon the
tariff, we shall gladly give him our
earnest support; if not the old gentle
man must "stcp down and o,;,." The
press of the State and Of the country
cannot say too much upon the import
ancc of Democratic consistency be-
tween the present aud The time for the
asscmblngc Of the next Democratic
Convention.
The first step in the right direction
viii be the election of firc-tradc
Speaker Of tho next liousc of Repre-
senta'ivcs; the second, Legislation look
Ing to tariff reform; third, the nomi-
nation OF a Presidential candidate
whose views are in harmony with that
Of the party; and, fourthly, the con-
'luct Of tho campaign upon solid,
orthodox, frce-trado platform. If this
line of policy is strictly adhered to,
defeat is impossible and victory is in
cvitablc!
It's not the popularity or avsitabili-
ty OF men, but great living principle
that must torcshadow the results Of
the ensuing campuign.
