TIE CALL.

The following is the call above referred to:
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CEN
TRIAL COMMITTEE, BROWN COUNTY, OAK
ABERDEEN, OAK, Aug. Ia. lSS5.-The Demo-
cratic forces of Dakota require organization.
\ thorough and effective organization can
only be accomplished by united and persistent
effort upon plan broad enough 10 include all
good citizens of the territory who indorse
the administration of Grover Cleveland as
president of the United States. The triumph
of the Democracy in the November election
means something more than turning out of
Republican officials To every honest man
who estccmS sacred the right OF independent
selt-goverument it is received with unmeas-
( Ured satisfaction. To the people Of Dakota
1t means local sclf-government and the ap-
pOintment of local men to administer federal
affairs in the territory.
II means the speedy eradication OF land
Z frauds and the merted punishment of the
perpetrators; it means the annihilation of the
/ cliques and rings Of political plunderers who
have fattCned upon the life blood of fair Da-
kota, 10 these many years; it means the con-
dign punishment of a class of political shy
srcrs whose only use for Dakota is the official
pap She furnishes, men who barter their
official INTEGRITY for private gain, and have set
Il price upon their official honor.
That victory of right over wrong and ini-
guilty; Of the people in their majesty over the
organized hosts OF piracy and plumber ought
TO be a welcome harbinger TO every true Da-
kotian.
Believing that the people of Dakota are in
full sympathy with the administration OF
President Cleveland, that in him they recog-
nize the true champion OF the peoples rights;
of honesty in the administration of the peo-
ple's government at 4 recent meeting of the
Democratic central committee of Brown
county IN July last. it was suggested that
correspondence be had with leading Demo
Gratis in the territory with Il view to calling a
meeting of the various county committees of
the territory and of prominent citizens for a
thorough and systematic organization OF the
Democratic forces in Dakota.
Sufficient encouragement has been received
to Justify the call.
The Democratic central committee Of Brown
county therefore invite your cooperation and
presence at a meeting OF county committees
of the territory 10 be held at Aberdeen Tues
day. Sept. %, 1885, TO consider and determine

Dakota Democrats.

To the Editor of the Globe:
4 communication from Glendale i'm the
GLOBE of the 10th inst. is calculated to
give an erroneous impression regarding the
objects of the meeting of representative
Democrats of the territory, to be held in
this city Sept -.
In attempting to correct the misstate-
mentS contained in your correspondents
article it is unnecessary TO enter into a de-
Tense of Mr.. /. G. johnson, whom he so
bitterly attacks and whose name appears in
the call as chairman of the Democratic
committee of Brown county. 1t is
sufficient that Mr.. johnson acted under
instructions of the entire central committee
of Brown county, and upon the advice of
the members of the various committees IN
a dozen surrounding counties. Indeed. the
call, which was only issued to-day, is III
dOrsed by the signature Of such sterling
Democrats as Maris Taylor. Charles IL.
Price, j. f. Hall. john Lafabre, II. /.
Sill, A. Boynton and the chairmen and
members Of central committees from
dozen different counties. X will thus be
seen that the responsibility for the move
mcnt rests with twenty-five or thirty prom
inent Democrats, representing all sections
and all factions. The object of the meeting
is apparent i'm the call itself. and, briefly
stated. is to effect more thorough and
systematic party organization throughout
the territory. That il is not designed 10
promote the interests of any individual or
faction is also apparent from the
fact that ''all representative Demo
Gratis of the territory are requested
to be present" If it We're true, as your cor
respondent mtimateS. that the movement is
to promote the political interests OF those
who iDstigate it. il is hardly likely that the
invitation would have been SO general.
Only those would have been invited who
would be expected TO do the ''instigators''
the most good.
AGyices have already been received from
numerous prominent Democrats in all sec
tons Of the territory, To whom the pre-
liminary circular was sent. from NanktOn
and Devils Lake, DeadwOod and Sioux
Fails, Fargo and Bismarck, all signifying
their intention TO be present and expressing
hearty approval of the movement. The in
dicatiOns are that it will be the largest
Democratic gathering ever held in the terri
tory, and it is confidently expected that by
earnest and wise conference all differences
among the leaders, if any exist. viii be
healed, and plans for organization agreed
upon that will result in great and lasting
benefit to the party. NJ.

The matter of drainage, which has been dis
cuSSed for so long a time by the council. was
again brought up. and the proposition to
carry of the surface water by means of a
sewer laid along Broadway was finally
adopted and the recorder was instructed 10

sewer. according to the plans prepared by
the city surveyor. The special committee
appointed 10 determine upon suitable

stated that the building would have to be

in the Third ward would not be ready for
occupancy before then. and on motion,
action on the matter was deferred until the
first meeting in November. The chief of

pense. the council agreeing 10 pay him SO

sheep Raising.

IL is doubtful whether the average farmer
can make more profitable investment, in
moderate way, than in keeping a
few head of well-Selected sheep. No we'll
regulated farm should be without them.
Aside from the income derived from the
sale of wool. early lambs or mutton sheep,
it is well understood by the practical
farmer. in the older settled portions of the
country, that sheep are the greatest Scaven-
gers that can be placed on the farm. No
matter now good or plentiful the grass may
be in their range. it will be found that they
have quite eHectually trimmed the tender
shoots of most of the indigenous weeds.
An exchange says that embarrassing
seems to be attracting the attention of
sheep men TO an unusual extent in these
days of low wool, and they are discussing
through the papers the relative profitable
ness of this and wOOl-grOwing. with the
tendency just now to make the balance ap-
pear in the favor of mutton-gTOwing. All
the time il is insisted that the sheep must be
big, well-shaped. plump and fat. or the best
of their kind. 10 make exclusive mutton
raising pay. Certainly this is right, and
the same is equally true of wOOl-grOwing.
To derive any profit from the growing of
wool above actual expenses, the sheep must
be the best of the wOOl-bearing breeds. and
the fleece must be long and clean stapled
fine and densely fibered. Where these high
standards of excellence are attained. sheep
will under ordinary circumstances yield
some profit. whether they be of the mutton
or wool breeds. even when ordinary or low
grade sheep would be grown at a positive
loss.
