During our stay in Pierre we were
driven over the city by Col. S. NJ.
Laird, and shown what enterprise
and money will do for a town. We
visited Pierre a year ago last June
and the wonderful growth Of that
town since then seems almost mag
ical. TO show the character of inn
provements, we will mention the
$4,000 Court House, the $4,000
Wells House, the $4,000 Park
Hotel. besides scores of brick BUSH
ness blocks and elegant residences.
Pierre's future greatness is assured.
Uncle Snow says after o long
struggle, he has got there with both
feet. He has fitted up a nice dining
room in good shape, and can accom-
midate from Ia to l6 at his table at

HARMONY WITHIN THE PARTY.

The PensacOlian remarks:
cone of the best edited papers in the
state of Florida, is the recently started
PALATKA DAILY News. 1t has grasped
the true situation of affairs when it SAYS:
The democratic party in Florida should
recognise no section, no factions and no
party leaders, except those duly elected
by the will of the party. What we need
to-day and what we are going to have is
harmony. With a solid front aud a ca
pable management we can sweep the re-
naming vestige of republicanism well
out of the state. Bisbee, above all, must
go Keep this up; let the people know
they have champions who will assert
their rights and dare to maintain them
and the outcome will be less Of the self
constituted power, now so distasteful to
the majority, and the prevalence of har-
mOny, which is absolutely essential to
make a sweep next fall"
We are gratifed to observe a
growing disposition in the democrat
ic press of Florida to ignore sec
tionalism in state politics
Our sole inquiries concerning him
who aspires to leadership shall be-:
Is he pure Is he able? Is his
record consistent, and his democracy
sound? Can he harmonic the par
ty and successfully lead it to victo-
ry? We will welcome such a man
and rejoice III his nomination, it
matters not where he halls from, or
who he is.

cast faces and, no doubt, an inward
resolve to give as little chance for a
repetition of the unpleasantness as
possible.
Now these things are not acct
dents; they are of usual occurrence.
We are no longer a country town,
and, as we claim the respect and
privileges due city, we must live
up to our pretensions. Loose oxen
and stray casks are a menace to life,
and a horror to the eyes of all our
visitors. That these things neutral
ize all the pleasant effect of our
beautiful streets and fragrant trees
is fact which we must realize or it
will be felt through the pocket
nerves of our citizens in a manner
not to be mistaken.

OUR STREETS

We are again compelled by the
unsightly condition of our streets to
call the attention of the proper au-
thorities to the absolute necessity of
immediate action.
On yesterday, Reid street, one of
our most important thoroughfares,
was almost entirely blockaded near
the Putnam House. On the north
lay the pile of lumber which is seen
everywhere Of necessity in a town
in such rapid growth as ours But
just at the new building of Warren,
Thayer & Co. this had encroached
on the sidewalks to such an extent
that gentleman and lady were OBJ
liged to pass in single file. Imme-
diately opposite, at the rear en-
trance of the Putnam, strood three
casks, pile of bags, a yoke of oxen
quietly eating their dinner, and a
cart loaded with coal. Between the
two was barely passage room in the
street for one carriage, and a move
ment on the part OF the OK team, or
the slightest start from a shy horse.
would have given US a frst-class
casualty and a sensation for the
newspaper fraternity. These things
show not only carelessness but an
absolute Indifference on the part of
our authorities, which should be pun
ished.
On Water street, in front of
Grifin's brick block, stood on one
side several huge casks and pile of
saw dust, while on the other Law
boxes of every shape and color.
These remained in statu quo all day.
On the same street around the
barber shop and the shooting gallery
near the Journal office, crowd of
negroes conyersed, about eleven
o'clock, in language fearful even to
US, and accompanied by oaths vile
enough for the worst slums of our
largest cities. They spoke in loud
tones, too, and ladies ON the oppo-
site sidewalk hurried by with down

TRAIN-WRECKING.

1t will be seen by our news col
umns that another attempt has been
made to wreck train in the vicinity
of Palatka. This having been done
at the spot where several COWS had
been killed by the same train, gives
the impression that the attempt was
actuated by blind feeling of reck-
less revenge on the part of the suf
ferers by that accident. Parties
should understand that for all dam
age of every kind, the company is
responsible under the laws Of Flori-
da, and that such attemps are crimes
of the first magnitude. To endan-
ger the lives and property of pas
sengers and shippers innocent of
all connection with the railroad, is a
crime to which even killing is small.
1t is wholesale murder unredeemed
by any plea in extenuation. Such
criminals are among those for whom
mercy cannot be pleaded, and who
attack a whole community to graft
fly feelings of petty spite. Each of
our roads has been attacked in one
week by thoughtless ignorance to
the danger of the traveller and the
detriment of all the interests repre-
scented in the roads.
We hope these attempts will not
be repeated, and the road can be
best guarded by making as public
as possible the knowledge that these
are felonies, and that the companies
may besued and damages recovered
by law for all injury to property
done by them.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1884.
THE TINES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its hiStOry-mOre widely read and
quoted. more heartily commended. and more
fercely criticized, with more complete or
ganiZatiOn, and an able sSOh Of contributions
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow. no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
1T has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government and the pub
lie welfare. Ana Whlie MAINTAINING It's posi-
ton as the leading journal Of Philadelphia. it
will aim to be continually IN the advance IN all
that can add value TO newspaper.
The value of newspaper Is not in its size or
display. but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnciseness and freshness with which it is
edited THE TIMES spends lavishly for news
from all parts Of the world. but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, IN
order TO give the complete news Of the day IN
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
il a large variety of entertaining and lnSuruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich It's columns,
and to make il 4 journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure Of the home cir
Gle. a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political. religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TINES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers OF twenty years
ago The day OF those papers nave gone py.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population, have made the ola weekly
Tnprrop0itan newspaper unSaUisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient uSages have lost
their hold on our forward moving people; they
are but shadows Of their former greatness. and
they have but a shadow Of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness. but it
IS gone: and. with il. they are going. too. 1t
was not the fault Of the papers: it was the i'm
prOvement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live. now require fresher news; and they re-
qIIire more than news.
TEE WEEKLY TIMES gathers of the types Of
every passing week whatever mas lasting in
terest 10 the people at large, and sets it before
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would have astOnished us all twenty yeors ago.
DAILY-Twelve cents week, fifty cents
month. So a year. two cents a copy.

We call attention to Commissioner
Sebring's statement that there is no
necessity for an extra session of the
legislature, to make an appropriation
for the New Orleans exposition.
This was exactly the position of
THE News from the first. We
fought the idea on two grounds,
viz: that it was both un6onstitution-
al and unnecessary. We were salts
fed the first objection would be
sufficient to deter Gov. Bloxham
from any such proceeding, and we
knew this was enough to kill any
such proposition. For our governor
is not the man to be blinded by
gush and sophistry even when these
are ably urged by the magnetic in
huence of the Sanford journal and
its followers.

Tho Times Union accuses us of
"callow journalism" OF this the
public is the better judge. If the
high and mighty editor who comes
from Washington and procIaims
himself a missionary, intends to in
clude us among the "apologists for
murder he is guilty of misrepre-
sentation, the guilt of which pales
into insignifcance the highest de-
2reo Of "callowness" possible.
In dealing by personal reference
to Mr.. Jones, we believe we uncov-
cred the true nwardness of the gen
tleman's missionary zeal, which has
presumed. to speak "ex-cathedra" on
our feelings and motives ever since
his words were clothed with all the
awful might of a metropolitan

The senate very wisly sounded a truce

Two other great engagements occurred
about the same time AT Back-Ninh the
ground was strewn with pigtails, wooden
shoes, blue shirts, interspersed with the
gaudy uniforms and white leggings of

grenadiers were mangled with the half
naked bodies of the followers of Osman

terrific combat the Illinois soldier had en-

1s@f9c are quoted terms. Receipts are limited
and the demand good.
Peaches are in large supply and the demand is
fair at unchanged terms.
Feed is not now very active, but there is a
prospect of better demand.
There is little or demand for crab apples.
Fine stock might command S111.5O
II. P. Grant, st. Paul, trusted himself among
the bulls and bears on change to-day.
The first Louisiana oranges of the season are
offered to-day at $40 per barrel. The quality is
fair.
Apples are in good supply and the demand
very fair. There is some poor stock in market
offered below quoted terms
Provisions are now rather unsettled in prices
at ST. Paul. Mess pork is quoted soc of this
morning, and shoulders are hc up.
There is no change in the butter market this
morning. The off grades are in large supply and
not wanted. The gilt-edge grades are rather
scarce and firm at unchanged prices. The re-
quest is good for all fine stock.
There is very little wheat arriving at this point
at present. Minneapolis and Duluth appear to
be monopolizing the receipts. At ST. Paul there
is now good demand for any quantity of hard
wheat and at good prices. The market is very
firm for good grades, and consigners win do well
to pour quantity of hard wheat into this market
at once. Oats are also in fairly steady demand.
The ST. Paul retail market is active, and sew
eral changes in prices noted to-day. Cook
ing butter is offered at a decide of DC. Mime
sofa honey in comb is Sc down. Apples ar,
few cents cheaper. Muskmelons are rather
scarce and sc higher. Pork chops and roasts
are 2@21sc up. Spring chickens are offered at
decline OF 5010c per pair. String beans and
green corn higher; and oysters are sc lower all
around.
Cranberries are rather scarce as yet, and some
dealers are holding out for S3.25 per bushel. The
crop, however, is said to be good one, and good
supplies are expected as the season advances.
The marshmen usually hold out while every
season for high prices, and then they flood the
market with them all at once, when they find
prices will not boom. This year will probably
not prove an exception, and they will soon
come in.
There is quite active movement in hay at
this point at present. On change large num-
Der of sales have been reported at unsettled
prices and the arrivals on the streets are larger
than many suppose, especially on fine day.
During the winter season the arrivals of hay on
the streets so large as to be surprising.

higher prices. At the opening the market was
Irregular. New York Central was slightly weak
Dr on the reported bond issue, selling down IS
per cent to 93A. Before midday firmer tone
set in and there was a general advance in prices
Subsequently New York Central weakened, drop
ping to 9314, the lowest point of the week In
the final dealings there was a rally, under the
leadership of Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul,
which returned to sos. Union Pacific was firm
on an announcement that the receipts of the
company are increasing and that the floating
debt is being liquidated at the rate of 100000
per month. The issue of debenture bonds by
the New York Central had very little influence on
that stock. 1t is denied that the insiders who
recently made free sales at higher prides, in an
icipation of the effect which the announcement
of this issue was likely to have against the
stock, were buyers to-day. The market closed
strong. The borrowing demand continues brisk
