Yapkton specials state that on last Sat
urday Governor Osdway addressed letter
to Hugh j. Campbell, United States dis
trict attorney, in which he speaks Of the
Indictment returned against him (Ord-
way) which was procured as he contends
by local prejudice, and he also adverted to
the published statement that he is seeking
to evade thorough inquiry into his of1ic-
ial conduct as governor, Addressing
Campbell in person he says: Il will join
you in telegraphic request to the presi-
dent that Alex. R. Boteler and W. Haight,
examiners for the department Of justice,
sent into the territory to examine into
charges preferred against you, be also au-
thorized and fully empowered to examine
all witnesses which you may present,
showing corruption or malfeasance in Of
fee on my part, while continuing to make
examination of charges against you, and
if their final report shows either or both to
have acted corruptly, either or both shall
Immediately send in a resignation to the
president, and thus relieve the people Of
Dakota from corrupt and incompetent Of
fcials.

The people of this country have almost
settled down to the conviction that Sam
uel J. TiIden has no desire to engage in a
political tussle between himself and the
two republican giants, Blaine and Logan,
and the democratic shouters are surround
ed with feeling of rather downward
tendency in the efforts to find men who
are capable of being matched against the
chieftains on tie other side of the fence
Tilden has finally announced what is sup
posed to be final declination of receiving
the empty honors of the nomination for
the presidency by the democratic party,
and proclaims as follows:
[ cannot now assume the labors Of an
administration or Of a canvass. Under
valueing in nowise that the best gift of
heaven, the occasion and the power some
times bestowed upon a mere indivi idual to
communicate an impulse for good; CRATE
full beyond all words to my fellow country
men, who would assign such .. beneficient
function to me, am consoled by the re-
Election that neither the democratic party
nor the republican, for whose future that
patty is the best guarantee, is now or ev-
er can be dependent upon any one man
for their successful progress in the path
of noble destiny. Having given to their
welfare whatever Of health and strength [
possessed or could borrow from the future,
and having reached the term Of my capac-
ity for such labors as their welfare de-
mands, I but submit to the will of God in
deeming my public career forever closed.

Physical and Mental Strength.

Some men have q powerful physical
nature and weak intellectual nature.
Some have q small and feeble physical
nature and powerful intellectual ma
ture. While some hare a large and
perY2rfH-- physical nature and power
full intellect, others have small and
feeble physical nature and feeble intel
lect. Daniel Webster was large and
powerful man physically. Alexander
Fl. Stephens was very small and fee
BILE man physically. Both were intel
lectual giants. When student in the
Theological seminary our president
was a body of divinity weighing 800
pounds. The pastor of the Presbyter-
ian church weighed 120 pounds. It
was quite spectacle to see the two to-
gether in the pulpit, for intellectually
they were directly reversed. The the
illogical president had large intellect
and learning, but was a pigmy intel
lectually by the side of the pastor, who
was pigmy physically by the side of
the president. -Sa,, francisco Occident.

A newspaper correspondent writes
that there is not chimney anywhere
in Mexico, as far as he has seen, and
their absence gives an odd aspect to
the architecture, like that of Arabian
towns. No house has a fireplace or q
stove, for it is never cold, but the
kitchen is equipped with a sort of un-
gainly brick or stone range, ten or fif-
teen feet long, having holes for pots
and kettles, and in which charcoal is
burned. The fumes escape by tho
open doors and windows. Charcoal is
almost the only fuel in Mexico, except
in the Northern states.

Outside of the southern states, United
States senators are to be chosen this year
in Connecticut, New York, Indiana, Hi
nois, Wisconsin, Nevada, and California.
Of the senators whose terms expire in
these states, those from California and In
diana are democrats and the others are re-
publican. The republicans hope to hold
their ground in Connecticut, New York,
Illinois, Wisconsin, and Nevada, and to
gain senator in Indiana. This, with the
gain in Oregon, ought to give the repub-
licans good working majority.

For Vice President:
JOHN A. LOGAN.

The Indictment against Governor Ord
way for completely in Fauik county organi-
zation was quashed last Friday by Chief
Justice Edgerton at Yankton, and the
case Is now stricken from the calendar,
though not from the minds of the thous-
ands Of loyal Dakotaians. A technical
point was raised by the defense, the mo-
ton that was sustained claiming that a
grand jury had no jurisdiction over the
acts Of government official This is
Ordway's boastcd vindication from the
ncfarious acts of the past few years, and
is no doubt the finale at all attempted eff
forts at prosecution for crimina conviction.
After continued series of uninterrupted
boasting from the Ordway gang, all claim
ing their chieftain was anxious and ready
for trial in order that his injured charac-
ter might be elevated upward, the coun-
sci for the defense succeeded in having
the case set aside before the prosecution
were enabled to present their convcting
testimony. Had Ordway, the vain and
ranting rodomontadist, who has proclaim
ed his innocence in manner that would
do credit to the worst vaporing gasconader,
allowed the case to come to trial that the
evidence on'both sides might have been
obtained, his acquittal might possibly
have been the result, but his recreant
actions in staving off by all possible means
any aggressive measure by the people, has
led the masses to feel convicted of his
guilt. Had Guiteau, the assassinator of
Garfield, been acquitted by his jury, it
would have made no difference in the
opinions OF the people as to his guilt, and
simply because Ordway succeeded in set
ting aside temporarily the unbroken
chain of onrushing and convicting testi-
mony is no reason why his vain-glorious
yelpers should be shouting victory and
'vindication." When his tarnished robes
of official tenure shall have been forcibly
cast aside by orders from the department,
the plea that IAN Indictment against q
government officer is not authorized by
the revised statutes of the United States
cannot be offered, and unless speedy
exit from the territory characterizes his
actions, there is possibility that the law
may yet take its course and result in the
conviction OF the supposed criminal

The Brighter Side.
The London Saturday Review saws
about the Cincinnati riots: If the peo-
pie of the United States are inclined to
try and make the best of this ugly busi-
ness, they can find quite enough in it
to encourage them. It is certainly
better to find a mob rioting in favor OF
the strict administration of the law
rather than for the contrary motive.
Then, too, the police, and with the ex-
ception of one regiment, the militia, on
whom the task of restoring order main
ly fell, did their duty bravely, and
were well supported by the law-abid-
ing part of the citizens. Disorder of
this sort does far less harm in the long
run than the jew batting which has
Lo1
the last few years. But it is not to be
believed that the citizens of the United
States have lowered their standard to
the level of Russia Or Hungary. It
will be left to the more unwise sort of
their admirers in England to discover
that the lynching riots are admirable
things in themselves. The Americans
will be the last people in the world to
approve the pretentious twaddle that
street riots are ga good sign of the
healthy nature of American democra-
cy." Nothing is easier than to lead a
crowd Of angry men into violence in
any part of the world, and under any
form of government. All that is re-
quired is a beginning, which may be a
mere matter of accident, and the tenn
porary absence of an armed force too
strong to be resisted. Within the last
few years we have seen street fighting
in Belgium, Italy, Russia, and at homo
in Lancashire. 1T is barely twelve
months ago since the inhabitants of
Hounslow rehearsed the Cincinnati
disturbance on small scale. What
really is proof Of the healthy condi-
ton Of socioty in the United States
is that disturbances of any serious Kind
occur so seldom. Much of the coun-
try is thinly inhabited and newly set
tied. There has always been section
in which every man has had to trust
mainly to his own courage to defend
his life and property. The practice of
carrying arms is indulged in to a dam
gerous extent. Adventures and refu-
gees from all the world find their way
to the States, and yet, in the presence
of all these elements and occasions for
disorder, the states and federal govern
ments are very alarmed. 1t may be
asserted without fear of contradiction,
that the peace could not be kept forty
eight hours in many of the most civil
lied parts of Europe if the police and
the army were as weak as they are in
the United States

let that so. While tho press can aud does do
great deal toward educating the people DO.
h IlihiGaiiy' yet there are large masses OF people
afereached by the stumpers, and by tho mass
meeting. The excitement attending the latter

There are two other reasons why tho good

aims, mutual hopes, mutual fears and mutual
Interests, thus binding American society togeth.
