AND now Charley Ford, who was at
one time a member of Jesse james gang
and afterward proved a traitor to it, has
shot himself. Since Bob Ford shot Jesse
James the Ford brothers have gained a
little cheap notoriety by exhibiting them
selves in museums and low theatres
throughout the country. Neither of
them ever had a single quality to com
mend them to public esteem. There il
no reason assigned for Fords suicide, but
it was undoubtedly brought about 10y Il
morbid fear that his life was in danger
from some of the friends Or admirers of
the ~redoubtablc Jesse. His death, how
ever, is not to be dcplored asa national
calamity.

THE court of inquiry convened to try
he charges preferred against Judge Ad-
vocate General Swain, by Banker Bate
man. of Washington, seems thoroughly
disposed to go into details. An apparent
understanding between the counsel of
Swain and Bateman to confine the inqui-
~ to the specific charges already made,
drew forth a remark from the Court that
a more general investigation would be de
sinble. If there is nothing in General
Swain : official career which he would pre-
fer kept from the public he ran only con
gratulate himself upon a searching imvcs-
tigation. Should the fact prove other
wise it will be for the good Of the service
to know it. In any event. therefore. the
investigation is desirable.

The session of the American Medical
Association, now in progress at Washing
ton, will comprise about 1000 members,
IRON various portions of the country.
They represent the regular or allopathic
branch of the profession. There is con
siderable dissension in the body, over the
propriety of recognizing professionally
and consulting with homeopathic physi-
clans. Most of the older members OPP
pose this, while the younger men II

The Democratic Leader.
WEDNESDAY, MAY :, 1854.

A BILL introduced into congress for he
appointment of u commission to inquire
into and report upon the feasibility of con
structing a railroad from the United States
clear through to the South American
states, will evoke favorable comment from
the business people of the country, as
placing within their reach the boundless
possibilities of an almost UNEMPLOYED
country. Much is expected from
the building of roads through Mexico,
and the good effects from a commercial
and business standpoint will soon be
made apparent on this side of the line,
while the financial life of Mexico will
undoubtedly receive a quickening iniu-
ence. 1t has been suggested that the new
road may be built from a point IN Texas,
or even make Il connection with the Mex
lean roads and proceed thence through
Mexico, Central America, along the 18th
mus of Darien, passing east of the Andes,
through South America TO the Argentine
Republic. Along this proposed route NO
un~conquerable difficulties in the way Of con
struction will be experienced. The distance
from the City of Mexico would be about
5000 miles. The advocates of the meas
ure claim for it that it provides for no
more formidable an undertaking than
was the building of the first transconti-
mental railway: as it was looked upon
twenty years ago. The bill provides lib
orally for the expenses of the commission
who will necessarily be Obliged TODD much
preliminary work to get all the nations
interested in complete accord on the sub
iect. The movement is n that should
meet with general favor and it is to be
hoped the bill will readily pass through
the various preliminary stages in congress.

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.
A .,,,o in which Alcohol and Drunkenness

A .tato In which Alcohol and Drunkenness
Abound.
correspondent of the Boston Trans.
,riDt writes from Maine The poor old
decrepid Maine law still disgraces the
statutes. use the word advisedly for
contend it Ia disgrace for an intelligent
community to stick and hang to an idea
absurd in its logic and wholly impossible
in its fulfilment. The people are sick TO
death of being harangued on the evils OF
intemperarce all know the horrors OF II.
Like every other sin, with human nature
unchanged, 1t can never be annihilateoi
Does it not seem Incredible that the tota
failure of this law through so many years
cannot make Maine see the desirabiilty Q,
irving some law which may control II not
obltsrato the liquor traffic
| have been told as q fact that liquor
dealers outside of the state presumably
in Massachusetts,, as her traders largely
supply the Maine deinsnd) pay newspaper
orrespondcnts to write IN favor OF the
uresent law and to describe its success as
assured and certain. The Maine law puts
thousands OF dollars into the pockets OF
Massachusetts, brewers every year, and yet
everybody in Maine has all the ales, beer
and nouors they want just the same
Tho leaders Of the Prohibition party in
Massachusetts, quote the success OF this
law hero to inspire their followers with
belief ip its feasibility. BE not deceived
The Maine law has never been enforced
and is not now. 10 many OF the cities and
larger towns there is not even the pretence
of an effort in that direction. In some
of the country villages occasional
spasmodc efforts are made, which efforts
consist generally in seiEing stray
barrel of beer from some petty saloon or
flung the keeper of some Irish groggery
and it is done with flourish OF trumpets
and waving of banners, and meeting is
held and the clergyman devoutly thanks
God for the good work being done. Mean
time MIR. Landlord and Mr.. Druggist keep
quiet for day or two, until the spasrh is
over, and then "the world goes on, as II
went before" Iu few places III
the state there are no open saloons,
and possibly no liquor to be had at
the hotels; but what practical difference
docs it make il the drinker buys bis
liquor of the DRUGGIST instead OF the land
lord? People who know the true inward
ness of this business know that anywhere
Ia Maine a man who wants to drink eau
get 1t, only in some instances slyness and
lying are added to the sin Of drunkenness
result not complimentary to the moral
working of the law.
Gradually there is arising strong
feeling of opposition to the old idea, and it
is hopeful sign, for while the prohibition
law is on the statutes it Is like body OF
death between us and law that shall
regulate ntemperance.

The Warner weekly sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1885, 1884-06-20
Stock in Dakota,

Mr.. D. II. Fay, who has a stock ranch near
Larrabes, reports that his cattle have wintered
we'll. He led stock in Illinois for thirty years,
and knows something about attic. In Illinois
he would have to feed them hay early in NoVem.
Der. Here, in Dakota, te did not bring in his
stock until the 9Th Of December. In Illinois
he could not turn them out until the first to the
middle Of May when the new grass was growing;
here in Dakota he put out his herd on the second
of April, to Craze on last summer grass. The
cattle would leave the hay fed to them, after
they had been once turned out, and preferred to
Craze. The difference between grass in Illipois
and Dakota in this respect being that it dies in
Illinois AID decays, while in Dakota it is natur.
ally cured and does not die until we'll on in the
summer after the new growth has been made,
In our comparatively dry atmosphere the decay
is a slow process, and the slowness is very con-
yenient for the stock-men. SO far as dates are
concerned the past winter has not been specially
favorable to cattle feeding out of doors, rather
the contrary, as the snow fell earlier than usual.
In the win er Of 1882 snow did not fall, to
