Some Democratic legislature did
not take kindly to a proposition
to extend the principle and methods
of the Pendleton civil service reform
bill 10 the more lucrative offices OF
the slate, and a few Eastern Repub-
lean journals seem positively shocked
thereby. such v~irtuous indignation
is really refreshing. Now then let
US hear how many legislatures con-
trolled by the Republicans-and
there r several of them-have
passed such a bill. Ring up the cur
tain and answer to slow music.

OF ORGANIZATION.

The difference between q party
fighting for principle and one con-
tending simply for the spoils of Office
is strikingIy illustrated in the morale
of the two great political parties in
Vermont, Iowa, Georgia, and other
States We might name. In the two
former named States the almost in
significant Democratic minorities
have been making the same hopeless
fight year after year and gamely
coming up for the next conflict which
could be no less hopeless. In the
face of repeated overwhelming de
fea.s the Democrats in those States
have preserved their organization
and presented the same unbrok-n
front to the enemy. There was no
weakening in their backbone,
no trembling in their knees,
nor no lowering of their stand
ards. Each year found them at
the front, full of courage, defiant, ag
gressive and ready to carry the war
INTO the enelny's csrnp. In M"ssa.
chusetts, in Michigan and in other
strong Republican States they u G
ceeded, by the force Of their organi-
cation and q sustaining principle, in
overthrowing the spoils party and
gaining substantial victories.
On the other hand a Republican
minority readily disperses before one
two defeats. The other day GeOr-
gia elected the Democratic candidate
for Governor without opposition.
The Republicans in that State have
been led by men whose only employ
ment is public office, and whose only
was to gain its spoils. They
had 10 genuine attachment to party
principles and policies, and a defeat
Or two drove them pell nell from the
ield-a scattered band without Or
.yanization or hope of future success.
Thrre is q lesson in these recent
elections which Democrats should
iced. They teach the virtue of a
borough party organization and an
adherence to the underly-
ng principles which sustain it. They
how that a party which unites upon
principle will IN the end succeed.
And bringing the application of the
essen right at home, they plainly in
licate the course earnest Democrats
hould pursue in dealing with their
POLITICAL opponents. There should
re no compromises, no throwing
way OF votes on account of personal
islikes, no scattering of forces or de-
ertions to strange leaders. Such
of power weakens a par
Y. destroys its prestige, leads to de-
eat and disaster, and at last COM
demoralizes it. Il

THE SOUTHERN CYCLONE.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
has laid before its readers the diagno-
sis of o cyclone, accompanied by
some theories respecting the re-
cent one that swept through the
South. 1t reaches the conclusion
that instead of one there were several
cycloi es embraced in the storm area,
the variety of directions of travel
making it improbable that the cy-
clone that r.vaged Southern Georgia
was Identical with that in -outh Car
DINA. The argument is based on the
difficulty in following the course of
the cyclone; but as these disturbances
are the. IN 'st erra,ic of the many
sLecies of storm, u rotary motion
produced by the meeting of cold and
warm winds, they are liable to de-
that may appear eccentric.
The southern cyclone seemed to have

east again, the westerly, and got
off into Alabama. 1t traver.ed
ESQ miles of Mississippi in three
hours. Afterward the duplex storm
moved northeasterly along the Gin
cinnati Southern. The. question
asked is whether this same storm
rose into the air and swooped down
atterward, or whether it split, one
part going northeasterly and the

The Pork Question Again.

CHICAGO, May 1.-Since the pub.
LEGATION of Minister Sargent's COM
munication to this Government con.
corning the prohibition of American
pork into Germany, public interest
on the subject has been aroused
afresh and the questions involved
are being argued anew in the press
of this and other countries. Her
mann Raster, editor of tie Illinois
Stats Zeitung, this morning, in re-
ply to a reporters request for an in
terview, said had it not been for the
pig head stupidity of American pork
packers such prohibition would never
have gone into effect. The Stats
Zeitung months ago urged them to
have measures adopted to prevent it,
but because the price of pork was
just at chat time high enough here
not to make the German market of
any great account to them they
would not take any trouble IN the
matter and allowed the measures
there to be completed and be putinto
force, and now they find themselves
effectually cut out from that market.
If you want to know how I feel
about Prohibition 1 will tell you that
a few weeks before Congress ad-
iOurned at the last session |
had resolutions introduced which
had they been passed would have
prevented any such legislation in
Germany, but there was not time to
get them through, and Congress
adjourned without anything being
done. The resolutions We're to the
effect that the President should be
empowered in case any foreign coun-
try prohibited any lmnortation of
American products before the meet
ing of next Congress, to retaliate by
prohibiting the importation OF pro-
ducts of that country. 1t would not
have required any legislation by Con-
gress to have prevented the German
law from being passed. A mere
threat of retaliation would have been
to have prevented any such
being even thought Of. 1t
would have been sufficient for
this government merely to say
''You have prohibited the importa-
tiun of our pork, now we are going
retaliate by prohibitingthe impor-
tation of all your exports, but if Il
p~retext is wanted it is not necessary
to instituteany investigation" Their
own courts furnish evidence enough
that some of their wiue is adulter.t-
ed, and that should be sufficient to
warrant the prohibition of it all. It
would be enough for the government
o say: Some OF your "hosiery" con-
aims poisonous dyes, and we mean
o protect our people against danger
rom them by a total prohibition OF
heir importation. The German
government very well knows that

Particulars.

A lady walked into Cheap Jakes store " 7ednes~
day morning for thu purpose of purchasing &
stock of household goods and various othec
articles. After selecting all she desired, With
the exception Of one piece of turnitnre, which
Jake was just out of, thaAgood natured salesman
advised her to go to Cady's store for the lacking
article. Upon entering Mr. sCady's store and in
forming the clerk what had transpired, she was
told that purchasing goods Of Jake was very
risky move. The clerk stated to her that Jake
had bought the household furniture that had
been used in the house down the river belong
ing to Mr.. Emerson, which had been
INFESTED WITH SMALLPOX.
The lady, becoming somewhat frightened, re-
turned to Cheap Jake's, countermanded the
order, and her money was refunded. OF course
the we'll known proprietor of the variety store
was little chagrined at the operation, and upon
learning the cause of the lady's strange action,
he Immediately instituted suit for libel against
Mr.. Cady, placing his cause in the hands of Fort
& Fort. Chief of Police Harper was in Cady's
store at the time of the conversation alluded to.
and confirms the above statement. Both Jake
and Mr.. Emerson deny the charges with refer
ence to the purchase Of the infected goods, and
the prospects for genuine, brisk libel suit aKr
very promising.

ST.. PAUL. Aug. 23.-Special to the Globe from
Rochester, MINI: Thursday morning dawned
bright and beautiful. At an early hour stran-
gers began to pour in from all directions and by
noon the streets were crowded with surging
mass Of humanity. The expression Of sadness
on every face told m re plainly than futtering
Grape or tolling bells the tale of mourning, deso-
lation and death. Tea bodies were inferred in
Oakwood cemetery in the afternoon. At4:S0 q
procession was formed in front of the Cook
house. Fifth street, from Broadway to the
cemetery gate, was literally jammed with teams.
The following is list of the victims Inferred:
Mrs. Weatherby, Nellie Irwin. Mahala McCor-
mick, Mr.. Hazel, Mrs. McQuillan, Mrs. Quick
Mrs. Clough, Mrs. Zsrath August Zerath. Mr..
Osbourne and child. The names of the minis
ters officiating are as follows: Rev. Hampton
Rev. J. Stafford, Prof. 3. w. Young, Rev. =. B
Lathrop, Of Austin, and Rev. Sluelpanagel, Of
Pottsdam. The ceremonies performed were Of

tributes left upon the elose=clinging clay were

funeral that ever occurred in Rochester. Mr.
Quick, another Of tho dangerously injured vic
Tins, died at 3 p. m. Reports from the town of
Salem indicate large amount of damage in
that locality.

An Appellati0n That May Justly be
Applied to Lots in Sturgis
Addition.
1t Has Advantages Over Any Other
Addition to The City of
Bismarck.
How it Lays.

1t will be observed elsewhere in this paper
that Capt. Stephen Baker has arrived and now
offers some of his choice lots in Sturgs addition
for sale. This addition is the second ever made
to Bismarck and is now practically "down
town." It adjoins Williams sddition on the
east and lies on both sides of the railroad track.
The city proper is built up to the addition aud
quite number of residences have this season
been put up on the addition itself. Probably
no addition in the city offers such inducements
to capital as this. Residences erected on this
addition will find ready tenants at good rent.
Every lot is high and dry. In fact the whole
addition is AS nearly level as can be, and has
perfect drainage. The lots offered by Captain
Baker are scattered throughout the whole addi-
ton, he being one of the original owners. About
two months ago a Cincinnati syndicate pur::
chased a number of lots in this addition and
early next spring will erect a number of bust
ness houses as we'll as residences. Other parties
interested iii this part of town will also make
extensive improvements and it is predicted by
ssomse that the very center of business will some

the city, with capacities per day as follows: BY

A Faithful Servant.

The great telegraph strike has at last col

company. The cause of the surrender is not

the Brotherhood operators have been ordered to

matter fully are on the way and will probably
reach here soon.

today in angling for trout, the president and
Senator Vest outstripping the rest and vie;ng
