The Fargo Row,


The trouble between the council and
mayor Of Fargo is growing. At the meet
ing this week the former indicated their
purpose to sit down on the mayor as often
and hard as possible. They rejected his
appointments and refused to pay patrolmen
that he had on duty several weeks. This
is where their grip comes in. The mayor
may plant but the council will not water
They wont pay his appointees. The
effect is that all the old incumbents inchld-
ing every policeman, are holding over and
likely to continue to hold all the year. The
mayor is not disposed to appoint individuals
desired by the council. His position be-
comes simply ornamental and his duties
pretty much confined to eScorting distin-
guished visitors about the city and enter
tanning them at his own expense. 1t is
thought he will resign unless he can find
some way to get even with the council.

The Earthquake in Cashmere.

Calcutta dispatch to the London Times. ]
The latest returns regarding the damage
occasioned by the earthquake in Cashmere
persons, besides %, 900 sheep and goats aud
5000 CATTLE The number of dwellings
ruined is computed to reach $4,000. A
correspondent of the Calcutta EngIishman,
writing on the 10Th, says:
''The force of the earthquake appears to
have concentrated itself at certain spots,
and there to have spent itself These
spots look as though large amount of
gaseous matter under the earth had, with
the strength of dynamite, been struggling
for an outlet, and had torn and lacerated
the ground at the point where it found an
exit. Thus one sees villages with the huts
all destroyed, the earth adjacent being
cracked and split, and the air putrescent
from the bodies of cattle buried under the
houses, while not twenty yards distant a
sloping, wooded hill seems untouched. In
other places the side of vertically scarped
hill has been sliced off as if by the guillo-
tine, the earth SO severed lying at the
base. Some hill-sides are only partially
disconnected, and a deep incision remains.
Other hills again present the appearance of
an ordinary landslip.
"Near Lalledaurah village three enor-
nous chasms have been formed, one about
three quarters of mile broad and 30 feet
deep. Not far distant tract of land 500
yards square has subsidized, forming a
trench 100 yards long, so feet deep, and SC
feet WIDE"
No further shocks were reported last
week, and it may be hoped that the earth
quake has now spent it energy. The Maha-
rajah and the British residents are doing
their utmost to relieve the distressed.
The Indian Government has sent Mr..
Jones. geological surveyor. to report upon
the scientific aspects of the calamity.

Encouraging to Farmers.

A contributor, "W. D. w." to the Rich
mond State, in an article reviewing the
wheat-market says
"With the ups and downs of our specula-
tive market, we may see wheat drop sever
al points lower; but before September it
will take a greater rise than when we were
in possession Of war news.
With the crop-scare filling the minds of
spectators and the true condition arrived
at sellers will be few. Illinois from best au-
thority, will produce 60 per cent; Missouri,
so per cent; Kansas, which produced for
ty-seven million bushels last year, is expect
ed to yield only fifteen million; the other
States decrease in proportion. Virginia
the writer having just travelled through
her best wheat growing section yield
40 per cent. of last years crop. The acre
age is larger this year III some States than
usual, but the Hessian fly and cheat
have devastated it much in conjunction
with the severe winter and drought. With
the present outlook it seems unwise for
farmers to hurry their wheat to market, as
the manipu ators are now on top, crowd
ing it down and watching them as an eagle
its prey. France will not yield her quota,
and must look to other markets. When
contracts made with India and Cuba under
war clouds are executed we may expect
foreign demand"

Republican State Convention.

Senator Mahone's Republican State con-
vention will meet in the Theatre in Rich
mond July Is, for the nomination of can
didates for Governor, Lieutenant-G Governor
and Attorney General. The convention
will be called to order by Malone, who is
chairman of the State committee. Con-
siderable interest is felt in the selection of
the candidate for the first place on the
ticket. Ex-Representative John S.'Wise,
of Richmond city, and Attorney General
Frank s. Blair, of Wythe county, are the
most prominent aspirants for this nomlna-
ton. Mr.. Wise seems to feel quite conf
dent that he will be the successful man.
The convention will be- composed of 700
delegates, of which number some of Wise's
friends claim that 500 have committed
themselves to him. They claim that he
will receive the nomination on the first bal
lot. Mr.. Blair will have good following
in the convention, and some of his conf
Dental friends assert that unless some
combinations are made against him, he has
good chance of being nominated for Gov
ernor.
The Richmond correspondent of the
Bait. Sun says
'fWhile Mr.. Blair claims that he will de-
velop considerable strength in the conven-
ton, his friends assert that he will make
no captiousfght for the first place on the tick
ct. "Will he accept the nomination for the
place he now holds,'; was asked of one Of
Mr.. Bla;r's most intimate friends. ooh,
yes" was the reply 81 don't think Mr..
Blair will decline denomination for At
torney-G General if it is rendered him. An
intimate political friend Of Malone, who a
few days ago had quite long conference
with him about the approaching campaign,
predicts that the ticket nominated by the
convention will be: For Governor. John S.
Wise; for Lieutenant-Gove S. M.
Yost, of the Valley Virginian, Staunton,
and Frank S. Blair (presens Incumbent
for Attorney General. 1t is very probable
that this prediction is based upon what its
author gathered from Malone during his
interview with him. Mr.. Yost, it will be
seen, is the only old-time Republican whose
name is included on the ticket provided by
this gentleman.

To Our Friends in Town and Country.

The time is approaching for the Demo-
cratic voters of the State to select their dele
gates to the Richmond Conventions; and we
trust our friends in town and country will
realize the. fact that in so doing we are to
consider State affairs, not Federal matters;
our internal economy, and not the distribu-
ton of offices, other than those conferred
by the voters of Virginia. 1t is amazing to
see how intelligent men will complicate the
two subjects; and we beg our readers to
pause a moment and examine the ground
before them.
1t is distasteful to them to see Malone s
postmaster kept in at Petersburg as mat
ter of courtesy, when, as a matter of right,
he ought to go as an offensive partisan. 1t
is astounding to them that Mr.. Clay is kept
in at Viewpoints News by the influence of
the Grand Army of the Republic, when it
is known that he is an open manipulation OF
caucuses and conventions.
But such matters as these have nothing
to do with the election of our State officers
and General Assembly. Our people are
Democrats because of their convictions, and
not for the spoils of Office. Furthermore,
the Virginia Democrats are against Malone
because he is their dangerous and implaca-
Bile enemy. What the Apache chief is to
the frontiersmen, Malone is to the s'solid'
classes of this Commonwealth; and it is
within our State, not aoithout it, that we
must look for the stimulants to action and
the rewards of service
Rewards of service, what are these p
They are to be found in honest judges, un.
packed juries, fair show for white men,
safety to investments, peace and good will
between classes, and the absence of that
Mahoneism which gave us here a despotic
charter; the Governors body servant as a
school trustee in Richmond; and in Danville
the "Opera house riot
In one word, the State is separate and
apart from the White House, and the SUI
preme issue with us is just this: Shall we
make an end of Malone, once for all, OF
again fall under his ruinous domination?
This is the length, breadth, and thickness
of the whole matter; and we implore oul
friends in city and country to turn over a
new leaf and realize that it is the fate Of
Virginia which we have to consider and not
the details Of the Administration of affairs
in Washington. Planted on this ground
and bent on the redemption of the Com
monwealth we can overwhelm the enemy
but with the White House as an issue WI
may be in danger of divided councils and {
doubtful victory.-NorfoM Landmark.

DEATH OF Miss MAMIE M. HARRIS


DEATH OF Miss MAMIE M. HARRIS
Miss Mamie M. Harris, daughter of Mrs.
M. ]. Harris, Of Scottsvlle, Albemarle CO.,
died at that place on Tuesday of last week,
after an illness of about three months. She
was sister of Mrs. Florence H. McCutch-
en-, wife of Rev. Frank McCutchen, lately
Pastor of the Presbyterian Church at
Waynesboro, now of Glade Spring church.
In speaking of the deceased, the Scottsyille
Courier SAYS
"The announcement of her death, though
not unexpected for weeks past, cast pail
over the whole community, and her memory
will long be held in the most affectionate
veneration by all who had the pleasure of
her acquaintance. Hers was one of the
most pious, holy characters we ever knew,
and though a great sufferer, she bore every
cross with a calm patience and resignation
that is not born of earth. For years she
had been devoted, conscientious member
of the Presbyterian church, and her daily
life was practical and beautiful exempt
fication of the TEACHINGS of the meek and
lowly Nazarene. Her life work is ended
and she has entered into that reward which
is reserved for the finally faithful"
