THE venerable Fred Douglas delivered

THE venerable Fred Douglas delivered
a speech Of two hours length before the
convention of coloreL men, at Louisville.
yesterday. lie Is the patriarch Of his
race, whose speeches have been read with
admiration and profit throughout the
world. But the report shows that as soon
as he vacated the stand the delegates re-
solved themselves into bear garden and
all became orators. If there is one thing
more than another lnswhich the colored
man wants to excel it is in making q
speech, and If he has half chance he
will orate, no matter what the subject or
tcasion He doesn't care whether others
want to hear him or not, nor does he hes
itatc on account of lack of information
upon the subject under consideration.
lie is always wound up for speech and
when he gets started you might as we'll
try to stop cyclsnc as to step his har.
angue.

That Hunting Party.

The outfit of hunters that went out
from jamestown day before yesterday,
have all returned. John Vennum who
was induced to go with the party on pre-
tense that they were only gong out a
short distance, when he found what sort
OF game was being played on him
s,eered the party to Eldridyr, where he
got them into game of penny ante and
when The two o'clock morning train
whistied broke away and left them and
came home. Mike Foley, who never mis-
trusted that he had left his gun at home
until he reached for it to slay some ducks
that came in gunshot, was made useful
by Mcclure, who took him along to wade
after ducks lie should bring down. This
was sinlcure, however, as he didn't
have any wading to do. Mike at length
tished out of the rig a Winchester rifle
and started cut by himself on long
range hunt, and before gong far came

TIE Fargo Republican, for some caus

TIE Fargo Republican, for some cause,
has apparently become indifferent about
the name Of Dakota and thinks the Alert
is strenuous upon the subject above what
he circumstances Of the case warrant.
The Republican, says it does not see why
or how North Dakota loses u jot of It's
claim to the name it has always de-
manded because the proposed state does
no, prefix South to Its name, aud cites
The case Of Wcs, Virginia. There is very
.,;tic ic,evancy IN the two cases. Every
he6y xuows oi Virginia, but we venture
Ia say sha, half the people never think of
West V,rgiu!a asa state, and nearly as
large proportion do not know there is
such d state Ms Wes, Virginia. 1t is
comparatively noncnti,y in the list of
states, obscure u and Swallowed up IN the
name of Virginia. But in this case We
would not have the naming of our part
of the territory Tut congress would give
us such !, name as 1t night sec fit re-
cardess of our wishes. The name of
West Virginia has proved such an abor-
ton that it Is not likely congress will
ever again do such a foolish thing. 1t
the southern part should be admitted in
the name of Dakota some other name
than N forth Dakota might be preferable
to this sccl,on, for in that case 1t would
be looked upon as sort Of an inferior
appendage to the state of Dakota. 1t Is
true, as the Republican says that, VIC
could raise just as good wheat under any
other name, but that is not the point
The Republican might PRINT just as good
a paper under some other name but We
apprehcnd it would not yield its presen,
name to q competitor. Beecher could
preach just as well under the name oi
ZONES, but as likely as not the paper.
VIC uld smother him as an old crank
Cen. Grant would have as good healtf
and SIN, ,ke as many cigars under the name
of Smith. The prestige and celebrity o.
a name is due to what It's possesser ha.
been or donc more than to what it is OF il
to be. Theye is something In name.

THE capital commission contest has
now had one adjudication by \ court and
the matter Will probably ego up higher
for another. The conflict has given the
territory a great deal of advertising and
not little unenviabic notorlety through
the eastern press, and if carried to the
extreme Of resistance of the decision of
the court, the notoriety will grow more
unenvlahlr, until we shall be branded a
lawless and revolutionary people. 1t is
to be hoped that Gov. Ordway will not
give grounds for such unfaverablc criti-
clsm by assuming extraordinary powers
even though they may by implication lie
within the scope of his authority. Con-
grcss will look upon our con ,en;ions and
dissensiuns from an OUTSIDE standpoint,
from one that may not bc wholly with
ont prejudice, and this unseemly state Of
affairs may work seriously against us in
congress as it certainly will against us
with the masses of the people and deter
many from cm'graiing to this country.
The discussion of the question in can
did and logical manner is right and
proper so long as there is anything n, "
or of interest to offer, but the wholesale
v,lIficatlon to which 1t is carried on by
some Of the newspapers of both con-
tending sections Is neither prudent nar
profitable. N. &. Ordway ls governor OF
the territory and equally Of all parts OF
its domain and people, and as such lie is
entitled to the respect due the highes,
officer in the territory. If he uses his
official power and position to oppress the
people Or trample upon their rights, they
have recourse. lie is as much amenablt
TO the law as the humblcst citizen. If he
exceeds his authority as executive Officer
of the territory, he IS liable 10 impeach.
ment. If he violates any law he is liable
to arrest and punishment. AS c,tizer
and individual lie has as much right tt
buy and sell lands or tewn lots as an.
one else, SO long as he dses not do so in {
corrupt manner through any official pre-
rogative he may possess. "Lct justice
be done. though the heavens fall"

Mr.. Cooper was always careful and
prudent business man. He was always
opposed to the methods Of many mcr'
chants, who launched out in extravag
ant enterprises on borrowed money, foI
which they paid exorbitant rates of in
terest. Once, while talking about a
project with an acquaintance, the latter
said he would have to borrow the money
for six months, paying interest at the
rate Of 3 per cent. "Why do you bor-
row for 20 short a timer Mr.. Cooper
asked. "Because the brokers will NOT
negotiate bills for longer" well, II
YOU wish, " said Mr.. Cooper, II will dis
count your note at that rate for three
years. care you in earnest?" asked
the woula-be borrower. Certainly
am. will discount your note for Sl0,-
900 for three years at that rate: VIII
YOU, do it!' ''Of course i will, said
the merchant. "very WELL" said Mr..
Cooper; s'just sign this note for $40, 900,
payable In three years, and give me your
check for $500, and the transaction is
complete" "But where Is the money
for meg" asked the astonished merchant
"You don't get any money" was the re-
ply. "Your interest for 80 months, al
3 per centum per month, amounts to los
per centum, or Sl0,S0 therefore your
check for $500 Just makes us even.
The force Of this practical illustration
OF tine foiiy OF paying such IN exorbit
ant price for the use Of money was such
that the merchant determined never to
borrow at such ruinous rates, and he
frequently used to say that nothing
could have so fully convinced him as
this rather humorous proposal by Mr.
Cooper.
