SHORT CUT TO GLORY.

Chicago newspaper men are in luck so far
as offices are concerned. Gilbert Pierce of
the Chicago Nears is appointed governor of
Dakota; Parish of the same journal, has the
rich consulship of Chemnitz, Germany; and
W. f. Curtis, the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago hster-Oeean has been made
secretary of the commission to examine the
commercial relations between this country
and some of the Southern and Central Amer
lean states. Robert Porter, also graduate
of the same newspaper, occupies conspicu-
Gus position in the census bureau. From
this 1t would appear that the route to glory
and fat public position leads MA the
reportorial or editorial rooms of the Chicago
NerS and those of the Chicago IaterOcedn
Aspiring people will do well to make note
of these facts, and instead of the usual routes
wearisome, and uncertain, they viii select
the shortcut pathways afforded by the Chi
cago newspapers.
Travelling to glory by these journalistic
routes is pleasant all the way from begin
ming to finish. The ordinary traveller has to
encounter all kinds of obstacles, and embar-
easements among which disparagement by
envious editors is not the least painful and
disagreeabe. The Nsacs and Inter- Ocean path
ways are shaded from the blistering heat of
malice, they are arched over with cool foil
age. Men who enter either of these offices
suddenly find themselves governors, consuls,
and other important functionsries, and the
first intimation they have of their good luck
is when they See the announcement of their
appointment from Washington, aceompan-
led as in the case of Curtis, by the statement
that it has been conferred without the solicit
tation of the appo,ntee.

This story told of Sperry seems to be
marred by his resigning even the receiver
ship; "a pretty little story is told in con-
nection with this incident, and as it has
found its way in print it must be so. 1t is
to the effect that Sperry has been signing for
a position in Dakota land office for some
time. receiver or a registership is pretty
fat office, consequently there was no proba-
bility of any one resigning to accommodate
the young man, therefore he was nominated
as associate justice with the understanding
that he should trade it off for a land office
position, and if he failed to make the trade,
he was TO resign. 1t is rumored that the
offer was made to several persons before
Mr.. FRANCISCO accepted. The position
that President Arthur has taken in regard to
the territorial affairs is creating a widespread
feeling of disgust"

Cgop Reports in Union Cou,,t,,.

This is the cheerful outlook in Union
county as reported by the Courier The crop
outlook in this county is simply astonishing.
Rye and barley are now being harvested and
indicates tremendous yield. The wheat
harvest will begin about the latter part of
next week, and promises the largest yield
and the best quality ever known in the
county. Corn, which is the principle crop
here, is at least two weeks earlier than usual,
and the present outlook is that it will exceed
by 25 per cent. any previous corn crop in the
county. We do not see where any improve
ment could be made in the crop now stand
ing in this comfy.

The False r. y.

Mandan Times: The st. Paul Pioneer
Press, the acknowledged villiier Of north
Dakota, in its issue of July 10 gives crop
report of north Dakota which is utterly false.
1t says that in this part Of Dakota rain is
needed, and that theicrops are not looking
as well as they should. The truth Of the
matter is there has been more rain in this
part Of Dakota than was needed, not a week
passing without two or three good rains.
The crops of all kinds are looking their very
best all along the line in Western Dakota,
and why the Pioneer Preg should publish
such a false statement is beyond our com
prehension.

it comedies that this fact is by no means an
element of weakness. ''There is no doubt,
further says the Dispatch, ''that Grover
Cleveland in personal character and clean
ness of record is the most unassailable can
didate that the Democracy could have offer
ed. His career as Governor has shown him
to be practical reformer and superior to the
temptations of using public office for the sus
tenance of a political machine. The bitter
opposition of Tammany is the strongest evil

chine politics, and is in that light testi-
