wAsHIEGToN's BIRTHDAY
When Heaven grants to earth q son
Who fur outranks his brother clay
To tellhis fame and honors won
We sot apart his natal day.
The day recalls US for time
From our own lives and selfish thought
To thoughts Of others more sublime.
Whose lives with nobler deeds were frsught
In olden times, when there appeared
I" hero, who by noble deeds
Himself to glory has endeared,
As one whose heart for others beeds,
Death was to him sparkling stream,
Which he must step but lightly Ger
To take his place and slt supreme
Among the gods for evermore
This day does not recall to earth
demi.god from heavenly scenes, y
But true man ofinanly worth,
Whose faults. perchance, his greatness screen
A man of human hopes and fears,
man of wisdom and Of strength;
A man whose praise the nation hears
To-day throughout its breadth aud length.
No sickly sentimental praise
Should strive to add 10 his erown,
Nor men their hands and voices raise
To worship or bestow a crown.
But honor him as one whose life
Deserves our cumulative love:
One who from scenes Of earthly strii
Has gone to his reward above.
His deeds on earth in truth were great
Their power the world will ever feel
II was his glory TO orente
And to confirm a nations veal.
otis not the whole oflife to live"
May hiS example never cease
To WELD power DER hearts and rive
Its aid toliberty and peace.

Dakotn,s snnilest Comntu.

1t is estimated that Clay, the smallest
county in Dakota, has raised 10000 900 bush
els of corn this year. 1t will send forty
bushels of fine ears to New Orleans. The
Sioux Falls Leader says of corn growing:
These southern counties were nearly bank
rupt few years ago in consequence of try
ing to grow wheat, but since they have COM
menced to raise corn and feed it to hogs and
cattle the farmers have prospered wonder
fully, and are fast becoming wealthy, and in
few years more they will be among the
most thrifty farmers in America. Land in
Clay, Union and Yankton counties has in
creased in value from SO an acre to SIS and
$50 in the last three years, several make
quarters of 100 acres each on the bottom
lands of the Missouri river having sold
at prices ranging from $4,000 TO
SO, 900 each. Lands that will produce eighty
bushels of corn per acre viii soon bring fifty
dollars an acre. The immigrant who Sc
cures 100 acres of land in southern Dakota
at present prices may consider himself for
tunate. 1t will make fortune for him in
the future, not only as corn farm but for
both stock and dairy purposes. The soil of
this section is of inexhaustlble fertility and
the climate most healthy, making the farm
in this section a most desirable place for Il
home. Everywhere along our route the far
mers were contented and making money, a
strange contrast with few years ago when
all were discouraged and discontented.
Under the new methods of farming, with
diversified crops, prosperity succeeds poverty
South Dakota is certainly at present a most
inviting field for those seeking new homes.

The Heat Of Politics.

Richland has three of its citizens in nomi-
nation for the Legislature by the different con-
ventions. J. C. Pyatt for the council, is
nominated by the Independents and Demo-
Gratis and can be elected if his home county
will give him its solid vote, as it no doubt
will. E. S. Stebbins and p. j. MeCumber,
of that county, are the nominees for the
house. They will be elected if all parties
vote for them in their own county. In that
case Ricband. with little more than one
fifth of the vote of the district will have one
half of the delegates. Ransom too by solid
vote for Austin for the council and Oliver for
the house can secure two of the remaining
three, leaving one member of the house to be
fought for between Cass, La Moure and
Dickey. It would be a tri1e peculiar if Cass
should fail to secure member in either
house.
II the Glendale Leader is correct the other
counties of this legislative district will cut
the nominees from Cass and leave that
county without representation in the legisla-
ture. The Lender says: Cass county showed
its grasping nature by trying to capture three
of the six members, and would not listen to
any other proposition. The delegates from
thus robbed, and, as they were in a majority,
met in caucus and agreed upon proper rep
resentation, controlling the convention and
teaching Cass county q lesson. 1t is said
disaffected Cass will scratch the ticket and
| try and elect a third member from that
county, which would have the effect Of solidi-
| fying the votes of all the other counties.
One of the most bitter of the many bitter
contests in various parts of Dakota, is that
/ on the legislative ticket in the Grand Forks
! district. Two Republican tickets are in the
! field representing the Walsh and Winship
/ factions Walsh is a candidate on one of
them, and the other side charge that he and
his wing are in the interest OF monopolies
and railroads, and the Winship side are
termed demagogues, trying to make political
capital out of the anti Monopoly sentiment.
Walsh headed the delegation to Pierre and
stood solid for Raymond, but the Plaiudealer,
the Walsh organ, now charges on Raymond
in this way: 1t has been authoritatiyely as
serted that John B. Ray mond has been put
ting up money for the demagogues' cam
paign. The gentleman who asserts If is in q
| position TO know what be is talking about
II John RAYMOND is the honest, honoralt
gentleman they claim he is, spending hi:
money at Grand Forks to help to elect men
to represent Grand Forks county who are
demagogues Of the worst type and whom
Grand Forks county has declared in EN-
phatic and unmistakable terms that she did
not want. II IT be true It looks very nuet

There was fair degree of activity in the
provision pit, but the feeling was somewhat
irregular and prices unsettled, averaging
lower on the leading descriptions. Foreign
advices were a little more favorable to holders
of lard which was quoted Cd higher.
Eastern markets were quoted with steady
prices. October pork remained unchanged
at $3.50, but deferred deliveries were easier,
and at the close year was quoted 1715c
lower than on yesterday at S11.7215. In
lard the chief trading was in November
and January delivery. Prices were compar-
atively steady early, but recedeG 5@10c

cries were easier and November 755c lower

The cattle market was dull with tendency
to lower prices. About 800 cars of westerns
and Texans were among the receipts. and
while some of the sales of the best stock
were made at yesterdays prices, there was
small decline late in the day.
In the hog market there was fair, steady
demand, and prices underwent little or no
change on the bulk of the fair to good pack
ing grades, which contrived to sell at abou
81. .S0@+. 80, with the best packers at $4,000
SO and heavy at s5.15@5.25. Fancy as
sorted heavy sold at S5.30@5.35. A lot Of

sorts, such as are wanted for shipment, re-
main dull, as they are being bought cheaper
in Buffalo than they can be had in Chicago.
