All were armed and at least twenty
five shots were fired. superintendent

some Account of the Troubles Ex
perieneed by President wash.
fnKtOn.

The oder of the president excluding
ofiice-seekers and senators and rep
resentatives in pursuit of the same
executive interviews is in act Of
moral courage which sustains all that
has been claimed for Mr.. Cleveland as
man of conviction and fearlessness
in the path of duty. The act is also
applauded by every disinterested
party in or out of politics and, If ad-
hered to, will inaugurate reform and
establish a precedent IN the duties
of the president for which his sue
| ccssors will be thankful. The Of
iice-seeking craze has not been con
fined TO later adminisi rations, though
with the development of the
country aud the expansion of the du-
ties of the government-it has ill.,
creased more than in equal proper
ton. The craving for Office appears
to have been coniemporaneous in Its
origin with the foundation of the
present form of government.
In the very earliest days of Wash
ipgton's administration he was terri.

was seriously embarrassed in doing
his duty In his office. As the gov
crnment uuder the constitution o.

, there existed multitude of claim
, upon the presidents attention, par

the executive Office in motion. rh'

a temperance agitation in the demo-
cratic state of Georgia is one of the in.
teresting phases of progress in the be-
nlghted south. For ten years temper
anoe agitation has been carried on in
Georgia, which has so far succeeded
that now, out of 1877 counties of the state,
the sale of liquor ls only allowed in If
teen. These fifteen counties contain
large cities, where the property interests
involved have prevented the temperance
element from achieving success. The
local option plan is the one under which
tho Georgia reformers are operating.
The legislature passed general local
option bill, under which county officers
were required to order elections upon
the petition of given number OF citi.
zens. To-day the question Is being set
tied at the polls in the city
OF Atlanta. the most important metro
polls OF the state. In that city q little
over 5,O0O votes was the highest number
ever cast; yet the registration lists
there, before the day of
election, contained 5000 names.
There is no party division
In the movement and no color line is
drawn. 1t is believed that if Atlanta
gives majority against the sale of
liquor the temperance movement will
spread rapidly throughout the southern
states,

common carriers must be under
governmental control. Dakota must suf.
fer if she fails to take wise and prompt
action in conjunction with the other
states before the process OF consolida-
tion of corporations has reached that
degree which will enable them to con-
troll the people who created them. The
writer is not intentionally an alarmist,
but it does seem that great danger il
imminent and that the producers and
consumers Of Dakota cannot too soon or
too earnestly enter the field for the sup
port of the half organized, struggling
party in congress, which is trying to
make provision for the regulation of
inter state commerce.
We appeal to the members OF our
first state legislature, 30 soon to meet
and elect United States senators, to re-
member that if those senators reach
their seats, they ought to be men who
from the center to the circum.
ference are, with their whole
souls, devoted to the interests of
Dakota. They should be men who will
not forget that vast majority Of all our
people who earn their bread by work.
No cry of any mans claims TO Office
should blind the legislature. No man
in Dakota has mortgage on the senate
or on any office. A subordinate motive
may properly be mentioned. Those
members of our legislature who have q
desire to secure political favors in the
future will do we'll to remember that the
temper of the people of Dakota may be
seen in the provisions they have made
in the sections we have quoted from the
constitution in regard to state commerce.
Interstate commerce is far more inn
portant matter. The people will re-
member those members of the legisla-
ture who provide for their protection.

A Thanksgiving anniversary in these
later years does not fail to find Dakota
as governmental division, with much
to be thankful for. There is never
failing regularity in the bestowsl of
heavens choicest blessings which in a
large measure compensates for the polit-
ical inhumanity to which we are sub
lected as peopis and for the studied
misrepresentation which we suffer at the
hands of onr fellow creatures of the
eastern states. We can congratulate
ourselves that the Lord is on our side,
and with so potent an ally our pursuit
of health, happiness and prosperity is
not in vain. We are again reminded
that the earth's choicest treasures are
ours and that the closing season marked
by the mile post of general Thanksgiving
and praise has brought ue fruits for
which devout thankfulness is due. There
is abundant reason for the observance of
a christian duty and here in Dakota that
duty is one which, in the fulness OF
grateful hearts, is made pleasure to
those whose praise goes forth to the
source of divine favor.

Judge Palmer and Gov. Pierce concern
ing the latter's veto of the capital re.

should succeed IN forcing the latter to
use certain available weapons in self

proof of attempted bribery can damage
them"
If the governor has in his possession
any such information il is his duty as
an official to produce it. And in the
same connection it would not be out OF
place for the representatives of justice to
bring forward their evidence pertaining
to the corruption which originally
placed the capital at Bismarck. There
are several indictments under cover
which might be aired.
