then chosen to I'LL the vacancy.
The worst of all men in any COM
munity are the croakers. We regret
to say that Morris is afflicted with a
few of them. They have made their
presence felt lately,in q most offensive
and injurious way. Men have come
here with the intention of buying
farms and locating in this vicinity
and these croakers by false statements
and Misrepresentation have caused
them to leave and seek homes else
where. If instead of charging upon
imaginary difficulties, all who pre-
tend to be interested here would under
ali circumstances be truthful, tell
new Corners of our rich and productive
soil our healthful and invigorating cli-
mate, our market and transportation
facilities, Jour church, school and many
other advantages, all who visit this
locality would be pleased with it and
the population and wealth of Morris
and Stevens county would be rapidly
and materially increased. Suppress
the croakers.
We call the attention Of our readers
to the advertisement of the Fargo &
Southern railway which appears in
another column. The line is now
open for the transaction of business
from Fargo to Ortonville, at the foot
of Big Stone Lake, 122 miles: On the
18th of August the company COM
menced running passenger trains
through from Fargo to Minneapolis
and st. Paul, making the same time
and giving the same rates as the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba roads.
The Fargo & Southern Is equipped
with the latest and most improved
coaches and locomotives. and will
run Pullman Sleepers on all night
trains. The line is completely laid
with the best of steel rail, and has enc
of the best road beds of any line N the
Northwest. It being Dakota insti-
tution,-the only railroad chartered
by the Territory that has been COM
pleted and managed within the Terri
tory, the citizens thereof take great
interest in it and are giving the new
road II liberal patronage. Through
tickets are on sale at its PRINCIPAL
stations for all points last and South.

Morris tribune., 1884-09-24

An old horseman says: Ii you want
to buy horse, don't believe your OWL
brother. Take no mans word for it
Your eye is your market. Don't buy
n horse in harness, Unhitoh him and
take everything off but his halter, and
lead him around. If he has corn, OF
is stiff, or has any other failing, you
can see it, Let HIM so by himself a
way, and if he slaves right into any
thing you know he is blind. No mat
ter how clear and bright his eyes are,
he can't see any more than a bat.
Back him, too. Some horses show
their weakness at tricks in that way
when they don't In any other: But
be as smart as you can,. you'll get
caught sometimes. Even as an eX-
pert gets stuck. A horse may look
ever so nice and go great pace, and
yet have fits, There isn't a man could
tell it till something happens. Or he
may have weak back. Give him the
whip and off he goes for q mile or two,
then all of q sudden he stops in the
road. After rest he starts again,
but he soon stops for good, and moth
ing but derrick could move him.
The weak points of a horse can be
better discovered while standing than
while moving.
1.-The is sound, he will stand firmly
and sauarely on his limbs without
moving any of them, the feet fatty
upon the ground, with legs plump and
naturally poised or if the foot is lifted
from the ground and the weight taken
from it, disease may be suspected, or
at least tenderness, which is precur-
sor of disease. If the horse stands
with his feet spread apart Or straddles
with his hind legs, there Is q weakness
in the loius, and the kidneys are dis
ordered. Heavy pulling bends the
knees, Blush, milky cast eyes in
horses indicate moon blindness or
something else. A bad tempered
horse keeps his ears thrown back. A
kicking horse is apt to have SCARED
legs. A stumbling horse has blem-
ished knees. When the skin is rough
and harsh, and does not move easily
0 the touch, the horse is a heavy eat
er and digestion is bad. Never buy
horse whose breathing organs are at all
impaired. Flace your ear at the side
of the heart, and if a wheeling sound
is heard it is an indication of trouble.

The Contrast.
~ III. "

There is some warrant for. this opinion in
the fact that each one Of these opposing
candidates. is the outcome of a like strug-
gle in two great president-making assem-
blies between the worst and the best ele-
ments that found representation in them.
The outcomeS were oppositeS, however
In the June assembly, all the political vices
and immoralities were represented BY the
Blaine organization, and the Blaine Or
ganization was triumphant In the
July assembly all the political
vices and immoralities were represent
ed by the Tammanv organization, and
the Tammanv organization was the reverse
of triumphant The nomination of Blaine
was clearly victory of political vice over
political virtue, and the nomination of
Cleveland was no less clearly a victory Of
political virtue over political vice. The
terms of the choice which the two candi-
dates present to the country are therefore
these: In the one case, a candidate who
stands for the most vicious, corrupt and dis
reputable ideas and characters OF his party;
in the other, a candidate who stands for the
most virtuous, pure and respectable ideas
and characters of his party

RANDALL's TRIUMPH AT CHICAGO.
PHILADELPHIA Times

EAudHstpNtd L'"ts
The one man who has come out Of the
Chicago Convention greater than all the
rest is Samuel J. Randall. Though he was
not nominated for President, his triumph is
none the less complete 1t is doubtful, in
deed, whether Randall himself ever shared
the thought of his friends that he might be
made the party candidate; but it is certain
that whatever aspirations he may have
entertained where promptly and unre-
servedly subordinated to the general good
of his party and of the country. No one
more quickly recognized the circumstances
which made Grover Cleveland the repre-
sentative of the best aspirations of Democ-
racy, and it was by his clearly expressed
desire that the votes of his supporters were
turned to Cleveland in the convention and
thus made his nomination inevitable. Next
to Manning, who has displayed skill in
party management that has never been sur
passed, Randalrs was the most powerful in
auence in shaping the nomination Of
Cleveland, and the honor to him is the
greater because his action has been gov
erned throughout by an unselfsh patriot
ism.
But this was the least part Of Randalls
victory at Chicago The platform Of the
con, ention is his own triumphant vindica-
ton as a party leader, a full acknowledge
ment mat it was his battle for the tariff i'll
Congress that saved the party, and gave II
its hope of victory at this time. After all
the fierce opposition and positive denuncia-
ton to which he was subjected BY those who
claimed to speak tor Democracy, the SUI
preme tribunal of the party has pronounced
his judgment sound. The tariff plank of
the platform is a complete Randall victory
and above all he has stamped his impress
upon the policy of the party and made good
his title as the leader of the leaders.

Londonderry increased two-thirds from
1841 to 1871, and in the same time Belfast
more than doubled its population. Both of
these cities are in the north, the Protestant
part of Ireland. But enough of this.
AS we now step from our steamer and go
out into the street we see our first jauntlng
car What queer vehicle it is !? 1t sets well
up on two wheels The seats run lengthwise
and drop over the wheels. Each car accom-
modates four passengers, who sit back to
back The driver has a little seat in front
The horses attached to these odd vehicles
standing in the street here look as if they
would like to lean against post for support
They are evidently beasts of great age, if not
of great experience. But these Irish Jehus
solemnly affirm that they are fast. "Shall
we test their speed?" ''Well, yes" "All
right. Three of you engage this driver with
his spawned gray, and we will secure the
services of this aged Hibernian with his
wheezy sorrel." "Now, ladies, hold on for
dear life." "All ready ?" Eyes" swell,
all right old man, whip up your steed." Ha,
ha, what would our friends at home say if
they could see us thus madly racing through
the streets of this Irish town at the terrific
pace of five miles an hour? We fly so swiftly
that we cannot count the pickets in a fence
because there is no picket fence in sight.
For time we 60 laundering onward neck
and neck, but presently, even though our
ancient Jehu frantically jerks his lines and
excitedly cries out to his shadowy beast
Whist, whist, git-e-up, git-e-up, whist, +" our
gallant sorrel slowly falls behind. Fate is
against US. We have lost this hotly- contested
race. But no matter, we will gracefully ac-
cept our defeat. Our drivers have proved
the speed of their splendid steeds. If we had
really been in haste we would have gained
time if we had walked.
The difference between the Scotch and the
Irish is quite marked. These people, divided
only by narrow sea, are remarkably dissimi-
lar Being such near neighbors one might
suppose that they would amalgamate their
distinctive characteristics, but they do not
Like oil and water they refuse to intermix,
and remain as different as if their countries
were ten thousand miles apart. Greenock
hack is no more like Belfast jaunting car
than are these people living within eight
hours sail of each others homes. The Scotch
are thrifty, uncommunicative and morose,
while the Irish are shiftless, talkative and
good natured The Scotch are certainly not
excessively polite, but however impertinent
an Irishman becomes as soon as he is trans
planted to America, he is exceedingly cour-
teous on his native soil. This is especially
true of the citizens of Belfast, who are not
altogether unlike our Philadelphia gentlemen
in this respect. Mira6le dictu even Cooks
Irish representatives are refreshingly polite.
At Belfast we take an express train for
Dublin, and the country through which We
