To build up q prosperous city in an
agricultural and stock growing section
one of the first attainments should be
the establishment of market for all the
commodities the country produces.
This, while 1t is convenience to the
farmer, is source of profit to the indi-
viduals who do business within the city.
Mills and elevators are needed for the
wheatgrower. breweries for the producers
of barley, factories for the wool growers,
facilities for reducing the products Of
fax farms, establishments for slaughter
ing cattle and hogs and preserving for
consumption the products of the
slaughtering houses. These are institu-
tions which tend to give solidity to the
business department of community
and pave the way to other manufactur.
ing industries through which the agri.
cultural class is supplied with neces.
saries not obtainable by their own
labor. 1t 1s. the province of

an equal interest in their development
and maintenance. They cannot thrive
with petty jealousies in the way, but
must be purtured and encouraged by q
broad and liberal policy. If ali aggrega-

Again tyrannical administration has
asserted its power, and placed three more
carpet baggers to look after the interests
of its wards, the people of Dakota.
There is no doubt but the new governor
and the two newly appointed judges are
men of honor, ability and integrity, but
how many men there are in Dakota who
are amply qualified to fill their positions.
But such is not the lot of 100000 free
American citizens of this great common
wealth. We must submit to these dast-
ardly outrages! We must stand like
oxen driven up to await the butchers

THE Secretary of State Of Pennsylvania has
visited Mr.. Tilden. He went hopefully, but
what he saw compelled him to relinquish the
long-cherished expectation Of seeing the Sage
of Greystone elected to the presidency. The
Secretary gives the following not altogether
cheerful picture of the old man:
'1nstead of plump vigorous and deter
mined specimen of manhood he is wasted
away so that his skin seems to hang on his
bones. So emaciated has he become, indeed,
that all effort seems painful to him. His
hands shake 50 violently that he finds it nee
essary to rest them ON the table before him.
His voice is husky and weak and he enunciates
only with the greatest effort. His tongue seems
swollen and paralyzed to some extent, and his
whole appearance indicates suffering"
And yet this the same man whom the At
lanta Constitution and other organs call upon
to invigorate the G. o. p. and lead it on to
victory and reform. From the conflicting &C
counts which from time to time appear in re-
gard to the physical condition of the Demo
cratic Moses, the suspicion can but arise that
he died. both above and below the eyes, some
time since and that the galvanic battery which
keeps him going works unevenly.

DR.. NEWMANs know nothingism is an of
Tense to the good sense of the people of the
country native as we'll as naturalized. There
can never again be any considerable pro-
scriptive feeling developed in the United
States against foreigners, and whatever there
may be or can be will have no other foundation
than the ill-advised, clannish and proscriptive
feeling of the foreign classes themselves.
When Doctor Newman said, "The duty of the
foreigner is to become naturaized. No man
has right to come here, make his home
under our flag and reap the benefits of this
great country without naturalization. But
naturalization is but form like church men,
bership. 1t does no good unless the heart is
in it." he said what must evoke a hearty
response from every true American, whatever
be the accident Of his birth. We are all, or
should all be, Americans in heart and spirit,
as well as in name. America is for Americans,
but Americans are not only those who happen
to have been born within its geographical
limits. Amercanism is a spirit and it is the
spirit of Americanism that needs at all times
to be cultivated and developed. Not Irshnen,
not Germans, not Englishmen, not Scandi-
nayans, but Americans Whatever tends to
keep up the differences of birth is un-Amer-

A RESPONSIBLE EXECUTIVE,


New York city has made one long and
important stride toward better government in
securing from the Legislature and Governor
Cleveland the bill lodging the power of
with the mayor, irrespective of the confirming
power of the Board of Aldermen. Governor
Cleveland, who, as mayor of Buffalo, had the
benefit of experience in the difficulties of
municipal government, we'll says in his mes
sage of approval of the Roosevelt bill:
eff the chief executive of the city is to be
held responsible for its order and good govern
ment he should not be hampered by any in
reference with his selection of subordinate
administrative officers, nor should he be per-
mitted to find divided responsibility an ex-
cuse for any neglect of the best interests of
the people. The plea should never be heard
that bad nomination had been made because
it was the only one that could secure con
frmation. An absolute and undivided re
sponsibility on the part of the appointing
power accords with correct business princi-
pies, the application of which to public affairs
will always, [ believe, direct the way to good
administration and protection of the peoples
interests"
This is what the Journal has demanded
and urged for indianapolis. Any other
system of municipal government inevitably
tends to ineficiency, responsibility and cor
ruption. Government by boards which do
not and cannot have direct relation with the
people and taxpayers, is of the worst charac-
ter, as has been proved in this city beyond
question Had it not been for the failure of such
government the experiment of the metropoli-
tan police would never have been tried. In
our judgment, that was jumping out of the
is concerned, for that board is further removed
from the people and taxpayers than were the
Council boards. Board government must be
superseded by direct controlling, RESPONSE
BILE executive, who must answer to the people
at the ballot-box. Then the people can know
who to hold responsible for government, and
there can be neither plea of inability nor lack
of responsibility. There should be a move
ment on the part of the taxpayers of Indian
apolis that will result in the formulation of
system of government for this city and county,
to be presented to the next Legislature, that
will do away with the existing cumbrous,
complex, irrational irresponsible, inefficient
and costly systems, the evils of which are
universally confessed. The troubles so greatly
deplored by the people attach to the system,
and are not so much the faults or follies of
administration. The reform that will reform
will be to reform the system altogether.

Mr.. CARLIsLEs speech does not suit the
New York World. That paper says of it:
owe tell Mr.. Carlisle frankly that he has
made disunion speech; a speech that is cal
culated to distract and divide the party which
has honored him. His sentiments do not repre-
sent more than an Insignificant fraction of his
party Democrats believe that it is more es-
sential to drive a corrupt and dangerous party
from power than to knock off or 10 per cent.
from the tariff. They believe in revenue re-
form and honest taxation. But they believe
still more in administrative reform and honest
government as necessarily a preliminary to
revenue reform. The one we can secure within
year by placing before the people in proper
light the danger of perverted elections, dis
honest officials and an assassinated republic.
The other is at present impossible of practical
realization until the Republican President and
Republican Senate have been swept away by
people aroused to a sense of the nations
peril. 1t was strange speech of man who

trusteeship from the entire Democratic party"

Mr.. CARLISLE has found it necessary to ex-
plain his explanations. Explanations and

lie men. So far as we can detect, the revised
speech of the Democratic Speaker only differs
from the first report in the vigor with which
he announces the true Democratic policy to
be to do nothing Mr. Watterson, however,
affects to find in it something very decisive
and remarkable, and, in his usual double
leads, once more reads the pestilent band of
traitors headed by Mr., Randall out of the

WITNESSING the marvellous development of
the United States under the encouragement
given by railway facilities in our great West,
Russia is about to undertake similar enterprises
in her Asiatic possessions, and will build trans
continental line to the Pacific, with branches
leading into China and the region of the
Amoor river and into Persia and India, aggle-
eating II, 700 miles in length, at an estimated
cost of 1000, 900, 900 rubles. The importance
of such an. undertaking can scarcely be esti-
mated, and the benefits to be derived
will be incalculable. With railway facili-
ties and other incentives, immense stretches
of fertile territory will be opened
to settlement and thorough cultivation.
Our great Northwestern wheat belt will be
more than duplicated east of the Ural mount
aims. The almost unknown regions of Asiatic
Russia will be opened to the markets of the
world and the Cars empire will be greatly
strengthened in numbers and wealth. East
ern Europe is awakening to realization of the

regions about the Caspian sea are being de-

opened in the mountain ranges, and now the
