FOOD FOR REFLECTION.

AIS" for the Hungry Millions Whose Bread
Grows on the Plains of Dakota.
De Smet Leader.
The notion that a severe winter and a
late spring will be followed by an abun.
dant harvest receives strong confirma-
tion this year in Dakota. Last spring
was so late as to cause many misgivinRs
among those who did not remember that
snch was usually the case. But the
harvest is the finest ever gathered in the
territory. Continued wet and cold
weather at the beginning Of harvest also
caused great fears for the safety of the
crop, aud dread that much of it might
be ruined before it could be stacked.
These fears were in turn dispelled by
continued dry weather, and it now look.
as if nothing would affect the unexam.
Piled prosperity. The result of this will
be continuation and enlargement of
the Dakota boom, which
has but just begun. The standing of q
new country is as sensitive to these i'm.
mediate returns as barometer is to the
state of the atmosphere. Shortsighted
as it may appear the average man will
base his opinion of country upon the
results of single year. A great many
people who emigrate seem to forget
that the country they came from is SUBJ
ject to vicissitudes, to years of plenty
and years of failure, and that no place on
this planet was ever discovered which is
not. Hence they demand that the new
country shall have more than earthly
perfection, and unhesitatingly con.
demn it if it fails to prove an abso.
lutte paradise, notwithstanding it may be
vastly superior to anything they have
previously known. No fair test of any
country on earth can be made in year
or two. Yet the fact remains that Dako.
ta has met all the extraordinary demands
made upon her, and her record constant.
" grows brighter for the ordeal. No
other new country was ever shown up to
all the world as this has been. It has
never been isolated in any degree.
Railroads and telegraphs have gone
ahead of the settler. The minutest de.
tails of the condition of crops, character
of soil and climate. state of wealth.
er, increase of population, and all other
things imaginable, sre heralded to all
creation daily. There is no chance for
humbug or deception in regard to Dako.
ia. All the facts are hung up on frame
for everybody's inspection. And the
great territory nor any part of it has
ever yet had any occasion to conceal the
record. It is open to all, and the result
is shown in the wonderful growth in
population and wealth caused BY nc
false initiation, but by the publication oi
the simple facts to the world at large.

A Statement to the Public.

Rochester, MINI, Aug. "a. 1ss3-On
the evening of August 2lst, q terrific
cyclone struck eur city, completely de-
molishing 135 dwellings and totally de.
stroying their contents. A large mum.
Der of others we're unroofed and other.
wise damaged. In the city, nineteen
persons were killed, (this is strictly &C.
curats} and about 100 wounded, several
of them fatally. The ruined houses
were nearly all owned and occupied by
mechanics and laborers, who lost every.
thing they had in the world except the
clothing upon their persons and the
naked lots. In many cases the heads of
families are injured. The cyclone en-
tered the county at its western border,
and in its course destroyed the crops
and buildings on about 40 farms. Others
lying contiguous we're damaged, and
five persons we're killed outside the city.
The relief committee has detailed list
OF l24 families. IN the city alone, entirely
destitute. We appeal to the public for
aid. The leading business men of the
city are all heavy losers, and cannot,
tueLeIOte, 20 as muc0 lOf the sufferers
as they would wish. They have, how.
ever. contributed literally. None of the
public buildings have escaped damage.
One school building is destroyed, the
court house is unroofed. the churches
are seriously injured, one of them-the
Methodist demolished; the elevators
and warehouses are all wholly or par
TALLY in ruins.
Provisions are plentiful. Money,
clothing and carpenters are needed,
100000 expended in tosls, lumber, etc.
for the penniless would scarcely put
them on their feet sufficiently to enable
them to help themselves. All contribu-
tions are placed IN the hands of . thor.

The postoffices Of the country are di.
vided into four classes, the first three
being called presidential Offices, which
are 30 called because the appointment
of the postmaster is vested in the prcsi.
dent. Whenever the receipts of an Office
are sufficient to sustain the department
in paying salary of one thousand dol
lars year, the appointments become
presidential. The fourth class receive
less than one Thousand annually aud the
postmaster is appointed by the
postmaster general. OF course the last
named grade contains nearly all the post.
Offices. The first class offices receive at
at least three thousand dollars; the sec.
ond class runs from two thousand to
three thousand dollars; and the third
class from one thousand to two thousand
dollars.
There is no section of the
country which is SO rapidly developing
as Dakota. The total number of post.
Offices of all classes in Dakota is 72s, an
increase during the year of 1872. Within
the past nine years the number has
grown from 133to 728, an increase of 595.
The number of presidential post Offices
is twenty.seven, which ls an increase dur.
ing the fiscal year of twelve. There are
no Offices of the first class in Dakota.
OF the second class there are six, Bis.
marck being the most recent promotion.
In the third class there are twenty.one,
Those which have recently been advanced
to the presidential grade are Wahpeton,
Aberdeen, Chamberlain, Grafton, Lari-
more, Mandan, MayvilIe, Pierre and
Rapid City. When We look at the many
changes in the salary account it is found
that Larimore makes the largest advance,
seven hundred dollars having been added
to the salary of the postmaster. Two
offices secure an addition of six hundred
dollars, Wabpeton and Aberdeen, and
one. Grafton. receives five hundred dol
lars. Bismarck gets four hundred dol.
lars. and Rapid City two hundred dol.
lars.
Three Offices get an increase of two
hundred dollars: They are Vermillisn
Mandan and Mayville. There are no
reductions of salaries among the presi.
dental offices in Dakota.

standing of the presidential postofices

each Office:

The Sioux City Journal exercises the
high prerogative Of an open denial Of
the statement made by the Press and
Dakotaian to the effect that Ordway was
paying for its services by influencing the
commissioners of newly organized coun.
ties to turn their patronage in ite direo.
tion. The facts are against the Journal,
however, and though it may fume and
foam and fire back counter charges, its
maledictions avail but little. A sample
Of its styleof retaliation is contained in
the following paragraph:
Yet it is alleged against the Press and
Dakotaian that one Of its first difficult
ties with Gov. Ordway sprung from the
rebuff it met when one of it's proprietors
insisted upon advance information SO as
to protect Dakota industry, in the way
OF shutting ont competition and making
schemes of plunder successful. This
suggestion may be sufficient to refresh
the memory Of the writer of the para.
graph above quoted.
Ordway may have given the Journal
the foregoing bit of gossip, but if he did
he uttered an untruth and the Journal
takes upon itself share of the infamy
which falls upon all liars by repeating
the statement. We have never needed
the favors Of the executive department
bad enough to pay for them in fulsome
praise and Ordway has not even the
slighest intimation of desire for ad.
vance information upon which to base
the Journals published falsehood.

We had a short interview with Mr..
M. I'll. Messner Thursday, who has been
one of the miners in the famous Silver
Belle mine. He reports that the latest
development in the lead exposed the
largest body of rich ore that has been
struck. The same character of high
grade ore had been found long ago in
the mine but only in small deposits.
The full extent of this late strike has
never been a%scertained, as il had not
been cross cut when the great crash
came and stopped work of all kinds.
Some of the miners hold as high as $500
Of the smelter checks which they have
received for their labor and it seems
have unwisely boarded up instead OF
having them cashed. An attachment
for some So, 900 was levied Wednesday by
the First National Bank of Helena, and

station. It will there branch off and a
new station is now all ready half way
between VIM. Cresap's place and Stan
ford. This change will not make the
distance to Stanford any longer and will
save pulling up the Arrow creek hill.
