GREELEY has been interviewed again
upon the subject of cannlballsm among
his party of arctic explorers and declares
that if any thing of the kind was done 1t
was without his knowledge and contrary
to his orders. He admits that the exam
ination of the bodies IS about conclusive
upon the point, but says he has been WIS.,
tied by all the survivors since the aglta-
ton of this subject every one Of whom
has solemnly sworn that he knew moth
ing of it. Greeley's theory Is that the
cannibalism, if such there was, was by
those who died last as only the bodies OF
these who died first were molested.
He gives as a reason for not reporting by
telegraph at the first opportunity the cir
cumstances of the shooting OF Henry that

ties. 1t is a merciless and nnanswerable
arralgnment Of both. 1t contains about
ten Thousand words and every WORD is a

to daze with high sounding words and
rounded periods but deals out solid facts
and follows them to q logical conclusion.
Butler is . walking encyclopedia Of the

surpassed the high expectations and dread
Of all parties in this address.

ONE of the most important questions

The. location ana importance Of this
county in the ninth legislative district

This we think will not be disputed The
naming of that member will also be con.
ceded to the people of this county as 1t
should be and a. Stutsman county will
concede to every other county entitled by
location and population to name candi-
date for ths legislature. The Alert ap-
prehends the people of this county are
going to be very particular what manner
of mar they confer this trust and honor
upon. There is no mstaking the qutliti-
cations they will require Of the man for
this position. He must be man of abll-
lty, integrity and free from obligations to
corporations OF any nature whatever.
The people do not want fanatic against
corporations ner an extremist on any sun
ject of probable legislation, but they do
want man whom they can depend upon
to stand for their interests when those
interests are involved. While, as we
have said, there is no uncertainty as to
the kind OF man the masses of this
county and OF this district want to repre-
sent them IN the legislature, we have had
no intimstisn Is vet what particular one
of the many such men in Stutsman coun-
ty will he selected for this purpose. Per-
haps 1t is too early yet to point out the
man by name but 1t is time fsr people to
begin to think upon the subject and talk
the matter up with q view to settling upon
a competent person for the trust when the
proper time comes. The time to canvass
the merits Of men for this position is be
fore the nomination, and not afterwards,
for the republican nomination is almost
equivalent to an election.

Now that ex-Gov. Ordway Is two thous-

New Hampshire and Gsv. FIeree - 7in-
stalled as successor, there IS . calm and
serene quletness all alsng the line that so
recently was pouring its solid shot into

Hon. Hugh J. Campbell who but one
short year ago was leading South Dakota
on to statehood under the banner of
"Fear God and take your own part" bid
ding defiance to congress, precedent aud
everything else that stsod in the way, is
dropped into threatened oblivion, the
Press and Dakotaian seeming t" have
lost all remembrance of him. Gov. Pierce
has 80 far been remark ably discreet, and
IN nothing more than the manner Of h,s
approach to and entering upon the du-
ties of his official position as chief execu-
tive of the great territory of Dakota. He
so far recognized Y Yankton as to 60 there
to be sworn into office which 80 pleased
the Yanktonites that they gave him
serenade and this gave him an oppoItu-
nifty to tell them in his speech in response
to the compliment that in his opinion the
capital had been removed from Ysnkton
to Bismarck. He told them this IN such
persuasive and pleasing way that they
were not only persuaded, but actually
pleased with the information Gov.
Pierce then returned back east without
visiting North Dakota at all and this was
gratifying to the people, especially the
kickers, at Y Yankton, and the more 80 as
he left the reins of executive government
IN the hands of Secretary Teller at that
place. Gov. Pierce has now come to take
upon himself .he active duties OF Cover
nor and establish his official residence at
Bismarck, which he recognizes as the
capital, aud We believe the people in all
parts "f the territory will welcome him
with n hearty geod cheer. He is the gov.
ernor of the whole territory and We be-
lieve he will 10 equal justice to sll parts

BILE for what it does not SAY. He evident
" intends that ne point shall be made

the people to find out what the platform
means to ascertain what he endorses.
Batter says 1t took the committee thirty
six hours to make platform which nei-
