The DnE,otn EnlIe,,s.

There are few sections in Dakota not re-
garded as the valley of some stream, and
any of them viii be able to find special refer
ence TO their section in this vivid statement
By Rev. w. j. Sillman: Valleys where the
seat Of the first world-empires-not valleys
open to the sea, like those of the Tiber and
the Thames, but fat valleys for grass and
grain like those of the Euphrates and the
Tigris. The Nile made Egypt and the Meso-
potamian plains along with their wheat, grew
for US the cities of Babylon and Nineveh. In
the valleys of our fair land lies the secret of
her present strength and future magnii-
cence. If ANYTHING is TO make Dakota q
new empire state among the sisterhood of
states it is the fact that she is a sort of Meso-
pOtamia of tue northwest great broad
plain between the rivers. In our air bright
aud dry, pure and sparkling from years. end
10 years end. in our summers with their
magical growth and in our sunny winters
unvexed by storms and un besmirched by mud
it is a Joy to live. All over our fields Plenty
has huilt her store houses and is hearding
her flocks. Our whole Dakota land is q val
ley, and a valley of valleys, but the gem of
these valleys-the queen of them all is the
valley of the Red, james, Sheyenue, Sioux,
Missouri, Vermillion, Crow Greek, or any
other, TO be filed as needed.

Tariff Reform.
To the Editor of the Globe.

ALBERT LEA, Dec. 24.-All indications
presidential campaign will be fought on the
issue of Protection VS.. Tariff Reform. All
that has kept this issue in abeyance in the
last two campaigns, has been its overshadow-
ing by sectional issues growing out of the
war. The south would consider nothing
else until these question were disposed of,
as they have been by the election of Cleve.
land. The question that confronts the Dem
ocratic party now is, how is it going to retain
that which it will soon possessl The solid
south elected Cleveland not alone by giving
him 153 electoral votes, but by giving them
without money and without price, leaving
the managers Of the Democratic campaign TO
devote their time and money half dozen
northern states. Those who think we will
have another solid Democratic south in 'Ss
do not look very far into the logic of events.
Nothing can make the south sure for the
Democratic candidate four wears hence
save the continuation of such sense
less speeches as that OF Blaine at Augusta,
and this the business interests of the coun-
try will probably not tolerate. The next is
sue being. therefore, an economic one with
no sectional bearing, how are we going to Sc
cure the vote of the sugar aud cotton states
for the Democratic candidate, assuming that
the party will adhere to tariff reduction and
reforml In my opinion it cannot be done,
and It's more than probable that in 1883 Penn
sylvania and Louisiana will be found voting
for the same candidate, and probably New
Jersey and Connecticut will go the same
way.
The next question that arises is how are
these losses to be offset! To this there can
be but Que answer, viz: The northwest must
be practically revolutionized. Wisconsin,
Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Min nesota, Kansas
and Nebraska must be transferred 10 the
Democratic column. How can this be done2
My undermining the party;..b taking high
ground on civil service reform, by abandon
ing opposition to the admission of Dakota,
by decreasing the reductions of the national
debt to reasonable point, by the adoption
Of sound financial views and ce2sing
to regard the clarnor of eranks
and oeasgogues The northwest is natu-
rally Democratic, aud with proper manage
ment IT can be made really SO. but If the
mission OF the Democratic party proves to be
merely to put few thousand moss-backed
grunters in Office, then 1883 win forever seal
its fate. W w. WILLIAMS.

Ashton banqueted the Fargo troops on

of Ashton were glad to welcome the colonel

pressed 70 the colonel and his command the
pleasure it afforded to the people to entertain
them for even so short time. He stated
that while he believed the governor had been
imposed upon by the terrified mayor of Red

datiOu for so promptly responding in a time
Of supposed emergency. He stated that we
looked upon them as our friends, and hoped
that our meeting together for so brief time

ton, and expressing his hearty good will to-

A FATAL FALL.
Nelson Cox Falls from the Wabashaw
Street Bridge and is Killed.

A shocking accident occurred ON the Wsb-
ashaw street bridge about IL 80 O'Clock YES
terday forenoon, resulting IN the instant
death Of Nelson Cox, bridge builder in tho
employ Of the Missouri Valley Bridge com
pany, and 10 whom tue contract was let for
making repairs at the south end OF the bridge.
At the time of the accident the unfortuna ate
young man was at work on what is known as
Traveller" or what is more generally
known as a cross beam from which the up
rights are suspended. While so engaged he
lost his footing and slipped, falling at first
distance OF twenty-five feet, where
his body struck cross beam with
such force as TO cause death.
After striking the beam his body rebounded
and fell to the frozen ground beneath, a dis
lance Of some forty feet further. number
of men were az work on the bridge, among
whom WAS his brother, Milton Cox, and a
score Of willing hearts aud hands went u his
assistance. On reaching the body life was
found To be extinct, death having resulted
from internal Injuries produced by the dou-
bic shock. His right leg was
also crushed and he was
otherwise bruised. The remains were viewed
by Coroner Quinn, who will hold an inquest
at > O'Clock this afternoon.
The deceased was a single man. twenty
four years Of age, and native of 0skaoosa,
Iowa, although he has been residing 10 Min
neapolis for nearly four years. The remains
will be forwarded TO Iowa for iuterment.

Our R@isef society.

Now that the rigors OF winter are upon us,
we thought that at this time of giving it would
be our place To present some of the work that
is required OF our Relief society aud how
they are doing it. In city such as this,
there must necessarily be a considerable
numoerof persons, who, through imprO-
whence or the vieissitndes Of trade aud Ia
Dor, are brought to want, and the Relief So
ciety and the committee appointed by them
are 10 ferret out such, aud 10 distribute aid
when it is really required. The society Is
composed OF persons representing the va
rious denominations, and its work is ex-
tended to all in need. the only sesame re-
ouired being, that q family requires assis-
lance. As soon as case Is reported, one Of
the committee goes at once and examines
into this necessity, and what Is required to
be done is attended to at once. But to do
this the charitable people of the city have to
be appealed TO-. Il Is the aim OF the society
TO have the pc ople help themselves as much
as possible, and 10 obtain something for
them TO do, and to show that this has worked
well, Of those assisted last winter, only one
family out OF eighty-six is now on the roll.
Assistance should only be given through the
society, who are making a study to e1pend
what is given to the very best advantage,
both to the donors aud the recipients. There
is very alarge 1amount OF need in the
city, but the society is doing its best TO meet
every case. On Christmas eve family of
eleven persons were discovered, with only a
few pounds Of -four in the house, no wood,
and the children without shoes. Their i'm
mediate needs were supplied, aud one Of
our large hearted citizens, TO whom the presi
dent, l. w. Eldred, brought the man, did
molly for the family
We have learned that Immediately before
Christmas couple of young ladies went
around soliciting aid, and represented
that they they were doing il for the Relief
society, using Mr.. Eldred's name He
as well as those who gave, were justly indig-
nant, and the church that they attended has
been put into false position. The young
ladies had better return whatever they col
lected, and thus remove the stigma from
themselves. In order that there may be no
further misunderstanding in that line, the
following ladies have been appointed for the
several sections to whom all applications for
relief must be made. and who will examine
into the cases, and who will also be glad To
receive any donation that may be offered:

There is very severe criticism in the Red
river valley among those who have heard of
the statement of Manager Smith, of the
Northern Pacihc elevator, as reported in the
Pioneer Press, that the average in spring wheat
will be greatly decreased the coming year,
mainly because in the older counties the soil
is becoming exhausted and needs a rest
The Grand Forks Herald says oft: Ofeourse,
everybody here knows this is not true, but
what delicious morsel this will be for the
emigration agencies to divert real, genuine
farmers to other states and territoriesl With
what eagerness they viii snap ut this concoc-

nonsense will travel farther and do more to
injure the Red River valley than the railroad

THE BOLLINGER TRAGEDY.
CorOner's Inquest Postponed Until
Monday to Secure Important
Witnesses

An inquest was to have been held yester-
day afternoon on the remains of Samuel Boil
inger, the unfortunate man who lost his life
at the Third street railroad crossing while re-
turning from party on Christmas night
Particulars of the sad affair appeared in yes
terday's issue of the GLOBE, aud ii will be
remembered that the deceased was one of
party who had been making Il social call, and
that their cutter was run down by train of
cars on the Duluth railroad while crossing the
tracks. The accident was very disastrous,
resulting in the death of the elder
Bollinger, while Mrs. Bollinger
was injured, and a young girl named
Lizzie Zimmerman had a narrow escape
from horrible death. The latter was badly
bruised but was reported yesterday as being
quite out of danger. Mr.. Zimmerman, tue
girls father, was also badly bruised and his
injuries are considered quite serious. The
condition of Mrs. Bollinoer was reported as
improved yesterday.
The inquest was to have been held at 80
O'Clock, aud at that hour the following jurors
were sworn: j. Q. Gesry, VIM. Delaney,
John Bell, NJ. j. Long, P. H. Spellman and
Joseph Banforth. There were present large
number of witnesses and the attorney for the
road was on hand with stenographic re-
porter.
At O'Clock Coroner Quinn announced
that as several material witnesses. including
the driver Of the cutter, were absent, and for
the further reason that the relations of the
deceased desired to have an attorney present.
he would adjourn the inquest until Monday
morning at o'clock.
The accident has praatnd fnalintr of crraof
indignation throughout the city, it being the
universal sentiment that as the railroad cross
ing has been a regular death trap and q
stan ding menace TO life for years, it is
about time the street should be closed up
altogether or that bridge or viaduct should
be erected without further parley.
AT each recurring casualty at this crossing q
spasmodic effort is made to protect the life
and property of citizens. Mayor O'Bren has
been very active in trying to have the coun-
Gil take definite action.
1t is well enough here to refresh the public
recollection that the railroad companies have
for long time held themselves ia readiness
to bridge the crossing, going so far as to
prepare plan for bridge aud apportiou the
cost among the companies, the amount
assessed upon the Duluth road being $50, coo.
When matters reached this stage further
steps were prevented by legal proceedings
in the nature of an injunction, since which
no progress has been made, the project hav-
ing been chung up'' by this action of prop
erty owners.
1t is reported that railway employe riding
on the COW catcher of the engine, ON discov-
ering that tie sleigh was to be run into, and
fearing accident to himself In his position,
jumped off and, striking switch post, bad
his head so badly bruised that he could hardly
use his eyes.

Steamers Lost.

HALIFAX, Dec. 26.-The government
steamer Lansdowne, from Sable Island,
brings intelligence of another disaster on one
of the outstretching sand bars, involving
loss of six lives. The French brig A. S. H.,

"There is no use of talking" soliloouized
the bailiff as he stroked the rheumatic spot in
his back, yesterday, ''it is better for a man to
handle straight goods and the world viii not
ask for discount; this thing of a fellow
specializing on futures, with honor in the
balance and the devil as stake holder, may
look TEN pting enough at first sight, but tell
you it is only one of the latter gentleman's
little games to snare a man,
The remarks were called out by the appear
ance of John Keefe in the bull pen. This
scurvy rascal was up on Xmas morning and
his sentence was suspended on condition that
he carry up cord of wood; besides this he was
given a quarter with which to buy his break
fast. Well, he didn't carry up any wood,
but on reaching the street he SUNK out Of
sight and blew in the money at the first bar
for peter whisky. 1t turned him into a de-
mon, and later in the day it required two
officers to yank the wretch TO the cooler.
This time he got sixty long days.
Lou Sparks and Z. NJ. Robinson, couple
OF collored gem'men, were at party Xmas
night, and the whole gang got drunk. In
the course of the evening these gem men
sought to satisfy their honah by spilling a
little blood, but they had no sooner started n
than both parties were yanked. The case was
quite funny; one Venus was so full
that she could hardly testify, and when placed
on the stand she became maudling and started
to cry. 1t was squirrel up the pine tree,
'coon in the hollow sort of fight and they
were fined ten bills each.
John Allen and a couple of other bows
with unpronounceable names. were charged
with. stealing the suspender grip sack of a
Sam'l of Posen peddler. The hearing was
continued until to-day.
Nick Walsh and Adam Boyer had little
difficulty iu the Red Hot saloon on East
Seventh street, and they started to chaw each
other up when peeler bounced down on
them and gave them the grand rush; it cost
them ten bills each to ''see'' the court
