Cheer Up and Brace Up.

d
Now that the Presidential election is over,
and all the rest of mankind at peace, why
should not everybody return to his regular
pursuits, and do what he can toward max
ing everybody as happy rs he can?
We have boundiess expanse of fertile
soil, an abundance of food and clothing, a
great number of factories, with almost I'M
limited capacity for production, and the
most extended system of cheap tansporta-
ton in the world; and vet business is every
where stagnant Under the stimulation of
the lowest prices known these twenty years,
it is only reasonable that affairs should be-
gin to revive. and they doubtless will, but
the business men of the country can help it
along by calmly considering the situation,
and seeing how good it is after all.

Don't Get Left.

To show how rapidly this country is de-
yeloping in resources and wealth, as well as
III the ability to consume products. con-
Temporary adduces the following figures:
In 1878 our population was about io,00O000:
now it j. 57,ooo,ooO In 1873 we raised 2sl.ooo.-
ot0 bushels of whcat-the largest crop the
country had produced up to that time. This
year the wheat crop will be over 100000, 900. In
1873 our corn crop 81. o00, coo bushels: this
year it will be 2,0o0,0no ooo-more than One-half
greater than it was eleven years ago. In 1873 the
oat crop amounted to 2s0,000,0>o bushels:
this year it will aggregate rVo.o00.0Oo
bushels. This vast increase of production has
been made in n little more than decade, de-
spite five or six years of depression during that
period All our material resources have kept q
pace Of development commensurate with our
progress in soil production. Comment il un-
necessary to show that il is useless for the peo-
pie of this country to think that because there
has been a panic in the sock market and gem
cial decline Of prices there Is to he a long
halt In the race Of progress. The man who now
sits down, and resolves To wait few years re-
fore he undertakes a new enterprise will get
left behind, The train will start and be out OF
sight while he Is musing.

An Indiana jury recently returned a

The jury returned with Il verdict Of
"Suicid in the ninth degree" A Rhode

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1884.


Washington, Jan. 30-A large delega-
ton Of Dakotians called upon the presi-
dent to-day to pay their respects and to
express to him the desire of all the peo-
pie Of the territory that some important
legislation should be enacted by the
present congress to meet the require
ments of the rapidly increasing popula-
ton Of the territory. Attorney General
Hughes addressed The president, ex
pressing Il desire on the part ofthe legal
fraternity for the enactment Of Il law
which would give W. additional Judges.
He also urged the almost absolute nee
essity Of an increase of membership in
the legislative assembly. Col. Steele
said that the farmers and business men
of the territory were tired Of the local
and fractional controversy Goiag on re
garding statehood and quite a large
number Of gentlemen were comforting
with a view Of ending these local con
troyersies by the presentation Of a hill
in congress authorizing the calling of "a
convention of all the organized counties
in the territory, which should be en-
powered to prepare and present to ihe
next session of congress a constitution
for the whole or such portion Of the ter
ritory as the convention thus selected
by the people might decide. The Rev.
DR.. Thompson on behalf Of the other
members of the delegation, added that
In passing over the territory for the pur-
pose of organizing churches, he had
found Gov. Ordway uniformly and
heartily sustained by the best portion Of
the settlers. The president assured the
delegation they had his sympathy in
the movements which they had out
lined. The delegation also visited At
torney General Brewster, Secretary
Teller, Secretary Chandler, and Post
master General Gresham. from all Of
whom they received a cordial reception.
