The Dakota Boom.

During the past year great "boom
has been industriously aud successfully
worked up in behalf of Dakota Terrific
~. 1t has almost, if not quite, as
sumed the proportion of the Califor-
mia '.boom' of l849 and the Pixies Peak
''boom" 1859. Then it was for gold
now it is for cheap land. Thousands
of people of all classes, many poorly
prepared to live and susceed in new
country. rushed headlong to the
promised land in search of sudden
wealth in $40" and $50; wide
spread suffering and disappointment
rapidly followed the resistless tide OF
immigration that poured over the
plains and into the wild regions where
all of the comforts of a settled coun-
try were lacking, disease, death and
inability to make living. rapidly di
minished the ranks of the gold-seekers.
But the hope of sudden wealth filled
up the vacant places, and the good
luck of few held out hope to the
thousands who only realized priva-
tions, toll and slow gains. In the rush
to Dakota the conditions are different.
and the chance for acquiring sudden
fortunes is not worth considering.
For those who cannot raise money
enough to purchase land at from five to
ten dollars an acre, Dakota may offer
some inducements. But the thousands
rushing into northern and western Da-
kota for homesteads and timber
claims, must remember that they will
have to live largely upon each other.
upon the money the emigrants take
with them. Wheat is the principle pro
duct of the country. and almost all the
other necessaries of life will have to
be imported. New land must be brok'
en- up one year before even a wheat
crop can be raised. While the great
immigration continues, their money
and wants will make business lively;
but when it subsidies, as it will In
year or two, the people must settle
down to wheat raising. In corn, grass,
hogs and cattle and dairy, Dakota can
never compete with Wisconsin, Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota or I'LL
nois. The history of spring wheat rails
ing for all time past, shows it to De
the poorest dependence farmer can
| rely upon, while the country is new
several good crops may be raised, but
for a permanent business there Is no
more uncertain unreliable crop
Wheat after wheat, will soon exhaust
any soil, and flood the country with In
sects, and other enemies. that quickly
dispel the illusions that entice farmers
into a branch eff farming that gives nc
permanent profit. 1t is our deliberate
Judgment thata Wisconsin farmer car
do no more unwise thing than to sell
GOOD wisconsin farm and go to Dakots
expecting to better his condition. Da
kota is dry country; 1t has been sub
| iect to grasshopper raids;it is bleak anc
cold: has very little timber; and cai
never compete with Wisconsin IN ma
nv of the natural advantages and pro
| duets that combine to make desirable
homes.

THE Salt Lake Tribune says that
never before has there been time
when so many young girls were going
into polygamy as at present. Con-
gress, at every session for some years
past, has been making abortive at
tempts--attempts only half in earnest
Ito suppress this growing shame. 1t
can hardly be supposed that the law
making power lacks the wisdom to
enact laws for the effectual suppress
sion of polygamy; the more reasona-
BILE inference is, IA disposition to deal
gently with the evil. Thus far all
national legislation has been defect
i've, reaching only partially what the
moral sentiment of the country de-
mands.

Miss KATE KANE, the Milwaukee law
yeress, dashed glass of water into
the face of Judge Mallory the other
day. As soon as his honor could catch
his breath he spluttered out that Miss
Kane was fined $50 for contempt of
court. Not having the sum about her
clothes he ordered that she be sent to
Jail for ninety days, and she was hustl-
ed off to the city bastile. The natural
conclusion from this transaction is
that Judges who have lady lawyers
practicing before them should sit be-
hind wire screens with their umbrel-
las up.
