Who pretends to believe that any of
Raymond's support in northern Dakota
is indicative Of political reformation
Who will declare that it is any denuncia.
tion of the capital deal? Has anybody
heard his supporters there generally
condemning the Bismarck scheme?-
Siour Falls Press.
During the past year and half the
Press and Dakotaian has published
numerous articles from northern papers
condemning in the strongest terms the
Bismarck scheme. The newspapers
from which these extracts were made are
all supporting Raymond for congress
The fact that the capital gang itself has
openly and violently declared itself in
hostility to Raymond shapes the situa
tion. Every southern man who opposes
Mr.. Raymond aids the Bismarck crowd
in the contamination of its schemes, ani
the Sioux Falls Press knows it.

found on Capt. Moreton's farm. As an
appendix to the letter the World gives

The above communication appeared in

no little stir in the city. as it settles be-

coralled MIR. Maher at the Richards

"Do understand you, then, that Col.

"Certalnly.' S
"Then you think Capt. Moreton has

"There is one Of two things will have

Address From Col. Beverly, of Virginia

To the Farmers of Of the United States.
At the recent meeting Of the National
Agricultural Congress, at Louisville,
KY, honored by election to the Presi
dency Of that body. the duty devolves
upon me Of issuing this brief address
explanatory Of the aims and purposes
Of the organization; this earnest APP
peal to every farmer in the Union to
extend to US his action and cordial
sympathy and cooperation. Every
thing which can effect the dignity and
prosperity of agriculture Is a subject OF
national impOrtonce, and is entitled to
the respectful attention of the govern
ment of the nation, so vauntingly de-
clared TO be "the government Of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
ple;" yet the fact is utterly and scorn-
fully ignored that the tillers OF the soil
are clear majority Of all the people.
The ultimate aim and purpose of the
National Agricultural Congress is two
fold, viz: First, to arouse agriCulturisl
themselves to a realization Of this great
fact; aud secondly, to enforce q recog'
Dition Of it upon the representatives Of
the people WHO have been delegated tc
administer the State and National
Governments. 1t is a fact, which ad
mits of no dispute, that no prominent
aud influential statesman in any de,
partment of the National Government
either posses, or apparently desires tc
possess, even superficial knowledge Of
agriculture in any Of its aspects, rela,
tons or interests. This great bushes,
by which a moGority Of all the people
live, and through which all have then
bread, is practically unrepresented il
any department Of the peoples govern,
ment. In the Executive branch they
have Commissioner who ranks only
with the clerks OF other departments
in the Senate they have one, snd in
the House Of Representatives twenty
seven members iD a body Of more thar
three hundred. When We propose t,
remedy this improper, unreasouabl,
and unjust state Of affairs, care scoru
fully told that "tho word AgHcultur,
is not in the Constitution of the United
States" We might retort, neither il
the word lawyer We might very
properly reply, If, then the word agri
culture is not in the constitution Of The
Government Of which we are majority
then we mean to put it there. If as ;
class we POSSESS all rights and all pow
ss under the Constitution aad tht
