DIR. CROMWELL.

We heartily thank and compliment
the Rev. DR.. Alexander Cromwell for
his able defence of our race against
the attack of Il Mississippi divine
who charged our race as being
half heathens, and our religion
as being anything but pure
or true. 1t seems more than
passing strange that Il good South
ern divine should have the hardi-
hood to just note SO many of our
lmperfectionS, when he and his
brethren had our moral and religious
training in their own hands so long.
They taught us all of their vices. and
none of their virtues, if they had any.
BY the aid of the North and our own
endeaYOrS, we are wiping out the
stigma which they (divineS and others
of the South left on lis. And at this
time we stand higher in morals,
Christianity and education than we
ever did before. 1t is to be pitied that
the Mississippi divine has so little re-
gard for the truth as to make state
ments which are unjust and untrue.
Since he and his brethren proved un-
worthy in the past to teach us the
higher inspirations of life, we can get
along without them in the present and
future.
The only favor we ask of them is to
let us alone, and turn the gushing tide
of their generosity and Christianity
toward their white brethren of the
South. There they will find an ample
field for their missionary work; there
they can do much good toward m ak
ing this better country. There
seems to be a strange magnetism
which draws them to lis. They are
still haunted by memories of the past
When their interests were wholly ours,
then our morals, religion and educa-
ton was plenty good enough. But,
alas. things have sadly changed. But
notwithstanding the change, even as
they raised vast revenues from us in
the past, so they would in the future,
by calling on the ever generous
North to send them money to chris
tianiZe the young negro. And that
the funds ought to be left entirely to
those Christian saints to dispose of,
and no Northern colored man be
allowed to take any part in the good
work. Was such generosity ever seen
before? 1t proves to us conclusively
that that reverend gentlemen, and all
like him, are wolves in sleeps clothing,
and all they want is chance to rend
us. And if we were ever foolish
enough to trust ourselves 20 their ten
der mercies, our second degradation, if
p )sSihle. would be worse than the first

done-made Virginia free state for

Judgment of the Minnesota scribe. One
thing is certain, Fannie Witherspoon can
lower her record of 2:1SA very materially
whenever she is right and driven with iudg-
ment, and those who think her capable of
trotting mile in 2:14 or better are not
few il number. She has the speed and
courage to carry it all the way from wire
to WIRE but needs skillful hand and cool
head in the sulky to make all the use pos
sible of her speed without exciting the an

DAKOTA LEGISLATION.
The Work that IS Being Done and the Needs
of the People.
CORRESPONDENCE of the Globe.

Correspondence of the Globe.
FARGO, D. T., Jan. 26.-The people OF
north Dakota are watching with interest
the bills that are being introduced by the
members Of the Dakota legislature. They
were elected to represent the interests OF
the people and are mostly all new mem
bers from north Dakota particularly
One of the best bills that has yet been in
troouced has already been sent to the lower
depths and will probably never see daylight
again during the present session. This
was bill for making taxes become delin-
Quent May 1, instead of the LIST of Febru-
airy as they now do under the existing law,
making taxes become delinquent in the
middle of the winter when the farmers as
well as others are pressed for money.
The principal bills being introduced so
far are of little interest to the people in
common as most of the members want to
either sub divide some county or take the
power of organizing new counties out of
the hands of the governor and placing it
in the hands of court commissioners or
others. This is being done because some
of the original town site boomers in north
Dakota and some particularly around the
DEVILS lake region want to manipulate
the organization of several new counties;
and have the location of the county seats
for their personal interests
Should the present Legislature
read carefully the last message of Governor
Ordway and act under some of his sug
gestion, the whole territory would profit
thereby.
The governor recommends the appoint
ment of public examiner, to investigate
the accounts of county treasurers anG
other county officials. as we'll as private
banks. This position is filled in Minnesota
by H. M. Knox, and is known to be one Of
the best offices ever created for the wei
fare of the state.
In new country like Dakota, where
many of the counties are young and the
pay small it is great temptation to those
who handle the county funds, to make
small investments hoping to realize a
handsome profit in a short time and re-
place the funds so used before the annual
settlement is made with the county com
missioners.
From the present outlook it is more than
likely that the legislature will get into an.
other squabble this winter with
the governor, and he will veto
all bills as he did two years ago.

was killed. He was valued at $4,000.
Young Jim, son of George Wilkes, is
to take the place in the stud to be vacated
by the black stallion, Francis Alexander,
who is to be campaigned this season. The
Breeders Gazette we'll says the breeding in
terests will lose nothing by the change.
Mr. W. Baker has recently made de-
cided addition to the fine pole teams of
our sister city of Minneapolis by the
purchase of pair of grays
from DR.. H. Benson, of Milwaukee. They
are said to be perfectly matched, very
snowy and fast. The price was $4,000.
Mr.. B. T. Buford, recently of Texas, has
purchased residence in the city of Dan
vile, Ind, near which place he owns sew
eral acres of land in high state of Guilt
walton, and upon which he proposes to
establish a breeding stud of trotting
horses, with a sprinkling of thorough
bred mares, which he considers good
foundation for the trotter.

quently those usually called Deutero-Ca-
of equal authority, all equally to
be held as sacred and canonical. But
he has his own views about the meaning
which Catholics allow those words; in fact,
he supposes that he knows on this matter
better than Catholics themselves, what they
believe and hold. 1 can only refer him to
Catholic theologiahs, to Catholic councils,
the late Council Of the Vatican among
others, to prove to him that we understand
as he does the Council OF Trent, and to re-
mind him that the words of Trent are so
very clear that but one meaning can be
ascribed to them.
Webster misled him. Catholics call cer-
tain books, Deutero- Canonical, and Web
ster defines this term s'belong-
ing to canon of inferior
authority" Having once declared that
by the use of the term Deutero- Canonical,
Catholics abandon the teaching of Trent,
and confess certain books of Scripture to
be of inferior authority to others, Mr..
Thomas, for the sake of consistency in
scholarship" must adhere to what he has
said. Hence he repeats: ''This distinction
in the minds of those who made it, meant
far more than the bishop is willing to con-
cede. 1t meant precisely as Webster de-
fines" I have no further argument for
Mr. Thomas. 1 must leave him to his own
knowledge of Catholic thought, and to
whatever comfort he may derive from a
Protestant writer, Davidson, and the heret-
zeal, though nominal Catholic, jain. His
quotation from Sixtus Senensis certainly
does not prove his point, since Si1tus
teaches exactly what have been insisting
upon, although Mr.. Thomas tries to OPP
pose his words to mine. '.The term Proto-
canonical,' says Mr.. Thomas, lis used (by
Sixtus) in the sense of acknowledged.
The Proto-canon1cal books were those of
