The Settlers on the Northwestern
Road.

A gentleman in recently from
Dakota gives an encouraging ac-
count Of the prospect Of farmers in
the territory. People along the
line of the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad will remember.the rush
to the territory last spring, we
mean, the spring Of 1883. Now it
was an important thing to get
so many settled on new fields, with
houses to build. But IN the main
they were Americans, orrather they
were persons that had experience
in America, for they were from
Iowa, Illinois and Michigan and
SO knew somewhat Of the require
ments of settlers in this country.
We were glad to learn from the
gentleman lately from Dakota that
the strangers of lastyear are in the
main we'll and comfortable settled.
Some OF them went East to spend
the winter, but returned in the
spring to prosecute their labors in
their new home. It is an import
ant thing for the Northwestern
road to get all these people settled;
they will become tributary to its
wealth and we'll doing. No doubt
the road will see that Dakota will
be we'll supplied with wood and
coal, so That the coming winter vii
have no terrors for the settlers.
The Northwestern road is now the
largest railroad corporation in the
" orld, controlling as it does, the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis, ane
Omaha road, and the people may
rely on it that it will leave no stone
unturned to further the interests
Of the settlers on its lands in this
State and in the adjoining Terri
tory. Let us have gooc
crops this year, and no hoppers,
and our people Of the great North
west will be on the bright road Il
fortune.

According to the reports received

According to the reports received
by the department. Of agriculture,
the decrease Of wheat acreage IN
Wisconsin will amount this year to.
about 10 per cent The reason CIV.
en- therefor is the increased tenden-
cy toward dairy and stock farming,
In Minnesota nearly one-third Of
the land last year devoted to wheat
has been seeded with other grain.
In Dakota, on the other hand, the
increase Of the wheat acreage is.
some 40 per cent, or a total Of some
100000 acres. The total increase.
in the spring wheat area Of the
country is estimated at 100000.
acres, making the entire wheat
acreage about 38,500,G00 acres.
This, with an average yield Of thir-
teen bushels per acre, would make
the wheat production Of the present
season 500, 500, 900 bushels.

The following is the speech Of Judge.
West, of Ohio, presenting the name of
Mr.. Blaine as a candidate for the Pres
idency:
AS a delegate in the Chicago conyen-
ton Of 1860, the proudest service of my
life was performed by voting for the
nomination Of that inspired emancipa-
tor, the first republican president of
the United States. Applause. Four
and twenty years Of The grandest his
tory Of recorded times has distinguish
ed the ascendency of the. republican
party. The skies have lowered, and re-
verses have threatened. Our flag is
still there, waving above the mansion
of the presidency, not a stain on its
folds, not a cloud on it's glory. Wheth-.
er it shall maintain that grand ascen-t
dency depends upon the action of this
great council. With bated breath a
nation awaits the result. On it are fix.
ed the eyes of 20.00O,000 Of republican
free men in the North. On it, OF to it,
rather, are stretched forth theimploring
hands of 10, 100000 of political bondmen
Of the South -[applause while above,
from the portals of light, is looking
down the immortal spirit Of the i'm
mortal martyr who first bore it to VIC
tory, bidding to us hail and God-speed.
Applause. Six times in six campaigns
has that banner triumphed- that sym
Dol of union, freedom, humanity and
progress; some time by that silent man
can arms wild applausell last by him
at whose l1ntimely taking off a nation
sWelled the funeral cries and Wept
above great Garield's grave. Cheers
and applause. Shall the banner @ttri-.
umph again? Commitit to the bearing
of that chief-[a voice: James Ct.

veteran, and the closing of the seventh
campaign will see that holy ensign

Cheers. Political conditions are
changed since the accessionof the re-
publican party to power. The mighty
issues of struggling freed dom and bleed

tinent and aroused the republic rallied,
united and inspired the forces OF
patriotism and the forces Of humanity
great issses have ceased their eOntell-
lions. The subordinate issues resulting
therefrom are settled and buried away
with the dead issues of the. past. The
arms Of the Solid South are against us.

Mexican "PceIers" and Street Cars.

Newcomers in the City of Mexico,
says the New York San, arc surprised
on finding SO many Of the conveniences
common to large cities at home, such
as the telephone, the electric light, a
police force, and an excellent strcet-car.
service. The electric lights are on the
tops Of iron rods running up from the.
gas lamp-posts. The police are far
more soldierly than theregular army of
the country. They wear a blue flannel
suit, the coat buttoned up, and their
cap has q covering of white, which,
with the standing linen collar, is al
ways immaculate. In their belts on
one side they carry a club AID on the
other q large revolver. Ii one wishes
to see policeman he has only to go to
the nearest corner, and he Will surely
find him standing there, for he has no
beat to walk over. The speed at which
street cars go is astonishing. They
dash along as fast as. mules can pull
them, and as they approach q corner
the driver gives q loud toot on q horn
for the purpose Of warning people at
the crossing to get out Of the way.

The last report Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture at Washington
announces the final collapse of the
attempt tc cultivate the tea plant
in the Uuited States. The appro.
.priation for the purpose is exhaust.
ed, and the surplus plants are scat
tered to the four points Of the COM
pass. About $4,000 have been ex-
pended in this enterprise, the COM
mencement Of which was a blum
der, and the end fiasco.. It's adj
mitted that the culture of this plant
is commercially Improbable, that
the climatic conditions are unfav-
orable for its growth, and that it
can be produced in the United
States only as curiosity where
profit is not considered.

superlatively pleasant as possible. The"ready

ONE WORD OF TRUTH.

Some members of the Chrifian church
requested us to correct an impress conveyed
by an article in Mondays Beacon, in con-
nection with the family relations of the late
Thomas Ferguson, in which reference was
made to the indifference and GOODNESS" OF
his wife TO him during his illness. The ar
ticle also said that her heartlessness when he
was dying, excited both disgust and indgna-
ton. Those who looked after his wants
during the time named, declare that the ar
ticle contained only one truth, and that was
that the man had died. They assert that
there was no truth whatever in the
story Of indifference, GOODNESS or heartless-
ness. Mrs. Ferguson is in needy circum-
stances and the impression getting abroad
that she was that sort ola woman would do
her great injury. 1t is not at all likely that
there was any intention on the part of the
Beacon to injure the poor woman; the writer
of the article in question was evidently mis-
informed. Great care should be exercised
to get the naked truth before statement is
made thvt would injure an innocent person.

LOUIS RANKE SKIPS.

The business career of Louis Ranke, who
skipped out the other night without saying
goodbye to his creditors, in this city was
brief but brilliant.
When be first struck the town he got 8
job with II. I. Camien on Main street which
he held down for two weeks. He next en-
bsrked in the patching business on his
own hook in part of a room on Main street.
he did business there about ten days; then
he hired a small place on Douglas avenue
where he carried on repair shop and ap-
peared to be doing well. He got marriage on
the brain and hitched onto girl. Soon af-
ter he borrowed $50 from his brother
in-law; went 70 St Louis and bought quite
a stock of cloths; hired half the room oecu-
pied by Hofiman's cigar factory and opened
up US full fedged merchant tailor.
The way the story goes he got about
$500 worth of goods and paid only $50,
getting sixty days on the balance of the bill.
1t is also said he gave bis brotber-in-law a
mortgage on the goods. The big merchant
tailor was away above patching and mend
ing now, so the business went 10 the dogs
and when the bill fell due there was no
funds to meet it. He then sold the whole
thing to his brother-in-lsw and skipped. 1t
is also told that n man for whom he had
made suit of clothes brought them back
after he had worn them awhile, to have then
changed little and that the great merchant
tailor sold .hem to somebody else, no;with-
sta ding that they had been paid for by the
first party.
If Louis had stuck to his patching he
probably would be here all right to-day
and doing well.
