What the First Saloon Cost.

The Kansas state Sentinel, in
recording a fact. draws a moral which
we think none who study can fail to
profit by: 'sThe first saloon licensed
by the board Of county commission
ers, nearly nine years ago, paid fifty
dollars for that privilege. II met a
bitter opposition from the friends Of
temperance and good order, but the
rum men were alert, and by pres
enting a bogus petition asking for it,
tho thing was granted, and fifty dol
lars are supposed to have gone into
the treasury. A change at once
came over our town. Drunken men
began to be seen upon our streets.
Men who had before paid their bills
regularly, now paid SO much for
rum that their bills to honest trades
men had to 60 unpaid. The air Of
that saloon night and day WAS made
black With profanity, yulgarity and
rum. Our young went there and
stayed until the hours Of midnight.

Bismarck, Oak. Sept. 26, 1884.
To the Editor Of Courier:
DEAR srR:-The responses re-
ceiyed from all sections of the Ter
ritory OF Dakota favoring an exhibit
tion Of our products at the Worlds
industrial and Cotton Centennial
Exposition, at New Orleans, which
opens December LIST, next, and that
kindly assistance rendered by the
press in behalf Of our efforts, leads
me to still further trespass upon the
good nature OF the editorial fratur-
nifty.
Having been allotted an especially
favorable space and special location,
anc believing that it would be to the
benefitofvisitors as well as the frater-
nifty, | desire that every newspaper
throughout the Territory be repre-
sented by copoies Of their respective
journals to be placed on file there.
In futherance is this idea, | suggest
that you send me three copies of
each edition Of your paper; begin
ming, not later than the first week
in November, for three consecutive
weeks. These papers should be
forwarded to me at Bismarck by
mail, and received not later than
December LIST.
While we do not wish to change
the general tenor Of your paper, it is
respectfully suggested that des-
criptions of farms, products, manu-
featuring and railroad facilities, aud
other matters Of general interests in
your section should receive some
attention in these issues.
Those who publish weekly papers
are requested to send three (3) copies
Of each issue for three consecutive
weeks, makiong nine copies in all.
Daily papers are requested to send
three CD copies of the same issue in
each week, and in addition to send
copies Of their Weekly and Sunday
Edition also. The publishers of
monthly publications may select
issue as in the judgment Of the pub
fisher may seem most desirable to
accomplish the end for which we
are all working.
| desire, especially to have the
aid Of the country press in this
matter. 1t is conceded by all that
the number Of newspapers in Dako-
ia is far in excess Of those in the
state per capita. The newspapers OF
Dakota are genera lily edited and
ably managed and specimens Of
topographic neatness, and | believe
that an exhibition in this line will
prove one of the great attractions.
Knowing the public spirit generally
pervading the editorial fraternity. |
do not feel that | appeal to you in
vain. II the publishers of news
papers care to send their ed itions
regularly after the opening Of the
Exposition addressed to me are Of
the Dakota Exhibit, / will take
great pleasure in causing the files to
be keptin the Dakota ReadingRoom,
for the inspection and information
Of visitors from all parts ofthe civil
lied world. In conclusion l must
say to my editorial friends, to whom
| feel greatly indebted for the inter-
est they have taken, that the respon-
SEES from every section Of Dakota
meet my most sanguine expecta-
tions and / feel safe in saying that
Dakota will have an exhibition at
New Orleans that will be a credit to
the grandest Territory in the Union.
Very Respectfully,
ALEXANDER MCKENZIE,
United States Commissioner.

FRANCE AND CHINA.
FRANCES Demands Held to be n Violation
OF the Treaty.

PARIS, September 1.-THE Tsung of va
men in replying to the French ultimatum
of July II, announces that in accordance
with the second article of the Tsen Tsin
provisional treaty, China is prepared
to withdraw its garrisons from Tom
quin after the expiration of a month, and
that China respected the articles. France,
they say, ought to respect the third article.
The French demand for indemnity, they
claim, is not in accordance with the five
articles of that treaty 1t is in prejudice
of their friendly relations and contrary to
International law. The Tsung lii Yamen
asks if the Government of France can not
wait until China withdraws her troops from
Tonquin, when a complete treaty will be
arranged. They also aver that if,the ques-
tion of indemnity is not considered as being
settled by the Tsen Tsin treaty, the
demand for indemnity is opposed to the
third article. 1t is lamentable that arrange
ments for making proper treaty should
be delayed by any demand for indemnity.
The forcible taking of a guarantee and in>
pels China to give the treaty powers a his
tory of the Tonquin question
together with the protest of China, and
the latter Government awaits opportunity
to discuss the question. The Tsung LII
Yamen requests that Patenotre, French
Ambassador, shall come to Tien Tsin and
arrange adefiuitive treaty, manifest mutual
sincerity, and strengthen the friendly rela-
tions of the two nations. This would be a
proper mode of procedure, according to in
ternational law. The Tsung Lii Yamen
announce that they will not be moved bv
any mans orders. The PdtYie and National,
under reserve, give currency to the re-
port that negotions with China have been
received by France, tending to full settle
ment of all questions at issue.

The Production of Bullion.

WASHINGTON, September 12.-Mr. Burch-
ard, Director of the Mint, to>day sent out
his annual letters to mint superintendents
assay officers and others, directing them
to ascertain and report the product of
gold and silver in their various State,
during the present calendar year. Mr..
Burchard anticipates that the reports will
show a considerable falling off in the silver
production for the year, as most of the
richer territory has been mined, and the
ore now brought to the surface is not so
rich as that heretofore mined. The falling
off in the production of silver bullion last
year was about $500, 900 from the product of
1882. 1t cannot yet be said, or even
approximately estimated, how the
figures for this year will compare with
those of 1883. Secretary Teller, who has
just returned from Colorado, reports a con>
siderable falling off in the output from the
mines of that State. Mr.. Burchard adds,
however, that the price of silver, both in
London and in this country, does not
fiuctuate to any great extent, and he assumes
from this fact that the silver men do not an
ticipate any extensive diminution in the
product for some time at least. The ele-
vator, which is to connect the new silver
vaults with the upper floors of the Treas
ury Building is about completed, and it is
expected that the silver dollars will be re-
moved to them next week. The capacity
of these vaults is about $45, 100000.

ment in Europe, have continued at the
same time to bring upon us more
general and cordial haste among the
people than wa ever known before" On
all sides the prospect is gloomy. The
Beers, after they had been laboriously

Christians, are taking steps that seem to

Importance by the Gladstone organs
only increase. The general interpreta-
tion is that the three great Empeyors are
determined that England is not going to
have it all her own way in Egypt, and the
explanation now given of the dispatch OF
Lords .Northbrook and Wolseley is that il
was done in pure dread and in order to keep
of European Intervention. Meantime
news from Egypt continues to be far
from encouraging. There is general i'm.
preston that the route by the Nile will
prove far more difficult than anybody ex>
pected. Sir Samuel Baker and other pro.
fessional alarmists are shrieking for q
second expedition by land, and the sardonic
st. James Gazette interprets the general
feeling of its followers by scornfully de-
cribing the expedition as Lord Wolseley's
water party"

Wh.c.l Was Rightl

At the late session of Congress, the
Democratic House, under the lead of
Chairman Randall of the Committee on
Appropriations, steadfastly refused to
vote the money which the Navy De-
partment had asked for building sew
eral new war vessels; and it based it's
refusal on the ground, boldly and
frankly stated, that it had no conf
dence in the Secretary of the Navy
that the Secretary, Mr. William Il
Chandler, did not possess either the
ability or the integrity needed to guar
antee that the money would be dis
creetly and efficiently used for the pur-
pose; and further. that tho Republican
management of the navy from the be-
ginning gave no<assurance that the par
ty would build up a COOL navy. Tho
Republican press loudly denounced the
conduct of the Democratic majority as
unpatrictic and factious. and invited
the country to condemn it; neverthe-
less, the House resolutely adhered 10 its
refusal, and Secretary Chandler did not
get the money. Was the House right

Schurz lays great stress upon Mr.
Blaine's interview with Mulligan. The
version of that interview given by
Mulligan seems to me utterly improb-
able. It is fatty and contemptuously
contradicted by Mr.. Blaine.
The interview to which Mulligan testi-
fies was partly in the presence of Fos-
ter and Atkins, and partly with him
alone, the parties passing and repassing
from one room to another. 1t seems
to me utterly unlikely that Mr.. Blaine
would pass from calmness to distress
and agony, and back to calmness again
in that way. To those who have known
that courageous and high-spirited gem
tleman, there does not appear to be much
of James G. Blaine in Mulligan's sto-
ry." A great many things may seem
s'utterly unlikely to Mr.. Hoar that ap-
pear quite natural and probable to
Predetermined men. It is not unu-
sual for Mr.. Blaine to assume high
tragedy role with his wife and children
as accessories, whenever he is driven
into corner. For instance when he
telegraphed Colonel Holiday to bring
suit against the Indianapolis Sentinel,
he said: political slanders I do not
stop to notice, but this editor assails the
honor of my wife and children / am
sure that honorable Democrats, alike
with honorable Republicans, will justi-
fly me in defending the honor of my
family. if need be with my life." How
naturally this would come from the
man who, according to Mr.. Mulligan,
almost went on his knees few years
ago, saying that if the committee should
| pet hold of those papers it would ruin

TO SHOOT THE FALLS.
mr.. wormaia will Toy the Experiment. o,
the Inside of Rubber Ball.

BUFFALO, N. Y, September 14-Oliver
Wormald, fresco painter, offers to GO
over Niagara Falls in a rubber ball fifteen
feet in diameter for the sum of 81 900. The
matter hasl been thoroughly canvasssd,
and has enlisted the cooperation OF
W. g. Graham, of Cleveland, and
Peter s. Grant, business man
of this city. Within the ball there will be
sufficient space for the adjustment of an
apparatus which he claims will keep him in
an upright position while the ball is in mo.
tion. 1t will consist of three-fourths inch
rubber, covered with a close binding Of
tarred rope, SO as to prevent injury to the
rubber should the sphere strike the
rocks; but this precautiol is scarcely neces.
sary, as Mr.. Wormald claims that the ball
win receive sufficient momentum to hurl it
far from the falls, where he expects to be
picked up by boats After having been
inoculated with a quantity of air to
keep the occupant alive for
fifteen minutes, the ball will be her.
metrically closed by means of hot
rubber applied by a brush, and the netting
fastened by means of snap springs.
Mr.. Wormald is a man of small stature,
weighing about 126 pounds and measuring
about five feet six inches. He is an Eng.
lishman and thirty-five years old. He will
go to Niagara Falls agnin tomorrow to
perfect arrangements.

A Horrible Accident.

SOMERSET, Pa, September ia point
on the Southwest Pennsylvania road few
miles from here was the scene yesterday
of horrible accident. A Prussian laborer
was pouring powder into hole from keg
which he held between his legs, when the
trail of powder was fired by q
smoldering spark, which instantly
reached the keg, which exploded, tearing
the flesh from the bones of the unlucky
man from the waist to the top of his head.
The fore>part of his skull was left literally
bare, the nose being torn completely off
and the eyes blown out. Both ears were
gone and not hair left on his head. He
was otherwise horribly burned and charred
and death resulted in a few minutes.

LONDON, September 12.-An animated
discussion is going on in the newspapers
regarding the killing of the boy Parker by
the survivors of the wrecked yacht Migs
nonette, in order to keep themselves alive.
The balance of opinion decidedly favors
the view that it was a case of justifable
homicide. The prisoners were loudly
cheered yesterday when released on bail.
