BALTIMORE, Nov. 20.-A correspondent of
The American telegraphed that he had ali
interview with Governor Cleveland, who
when asked what was the reason of the Re
publican defeat remarked; Il guess
Blaine was beaten because he DIDN'T
get votes enough" Upon being reminded
of tee small majority by which he was sue
cessful, the governor said: There are some
advantages in small maiorities. As it is, no
one man or no particular faction can claim
to have elected me, for the weakening ot
any one part of the line would have settleI
us. SO you see, owe no one more than
owe another"
The correspondent remarked that the
governor would find Washington a nice
place to live in, and he answered, Il presume

but | expect to be pretty busy there

The Mandan Daily Pioneer in an
interesting article OH West Dakota
says: "The prolific crop yield in West
Dakota this season is having the
good effect of turning railroad capt.
talists in this direction. The old
theory that the absence Of rainfall
west of the Missouri precluded the
possibility of this country from
ever becoming of any value for agri-
cultural purposes is well nigh eX-
ploded. This eason has demonstrate
ed beyond all pe%radventure that the
West Missouri slope is destined to be-
come as rich in agricultural products
as any part of Dakota. This fact is
already recognized by capitalists.
The advance agent Of the Rock Is
land road, who visited Mandan a
short time ago, was surprised and
pleased at what he saw here-timothy
and clover growing in the city park,
almost within reach of the railroad.
He stated that he was absolutely con-
WINGED in his own mind before visit
ing this section, that it would always
be impossible to grow the cultivated
grasses, clover and timothy. Before
leaving town he provided himself
with sample punches of both grasses,
which he took with him to the east"

Lieut., Varnuln Returns.

"Lieut. Varnum, who has been out
all spring on the survey of the route
from the Northern Pacific to the
Hills, arrived at Sturgis yesterday
afternoon. From his conversation
the following notes we've gathered:
He has finished his survey except
a few closings, and will make his re-
port to the department. He finds
that it is farther from Medora and
Belfield to the new town of De Mores
than from Dickinson to Fort Meade,
and the roads over the Dickinson
route are much better. He saw
freight trains strung all along the
Northern Pacific road between Be-.
field and Medora, and not a pound OF
freight coming into the Marks town
From Medora to Deadwood. the dis
tance, as measured by the odometer
is about 2l4 miles, and from Dickin
son to Fort Meade, it will be remem
bered, is only about It's. With TIM
addition Of twelve miles from here te
Deadwood, it still leaves a difference
of 81 miles in favor of the Dickinson
road to Deadwood--two days travel
From Sturgis to Crook it is no
quite eight miles. From Sturgis t.
Spearfsh it is a trifle oyer twenty
one miles.
The rain storm struck Varnun
when he got out a little ways beyon'
the Belle Fourche river; followed hin
to Dickinson. along the Norther
Pacific to Medora and down to tin
Hills. The surveying patty was bet
ter for the production of ram tina

IT is the intention of the Rock
Island Railroad Company to push
their road to the Missouri at an early
day, the objective point being Miles
City. The road will cross the river
either at Mandan or south of there.
and follow the Cannonball river up,
striking the Powder river valley and
follow it to Miles City. If this road
is built it will without doubt make
Dickinson one of its principal points.
