mg- Hamilton Fish was Secretary of State for
eight years. In that time it cost him ST. 900 a
year beyond his salary to live and entertain. 1t
cost Evarts 1900 year more than his salary,
while Frelinghuysen is said to be out $4,000 in
his four years under Arthur. What makes it so
very expensive for the Secretary of State is that
he has to entertain the foreign legations frequent
" and in q style that is very expensive.

Ma-T The Dakotans need to have less bluster

lg- The Dakotans need to have less clustering
weather. With two or three county seat fights OF
hand, some of them have got their blood up be-
cause there is no likelihood of their being admit
ted as State, and propose that Manitoba shall
unite with them in forming northwestern repub'
lie. But the heated Dakotans will probably find
themselves cooling off soon. War isn't fun, by a
long ways, and secession is one of the "lost arts.

loop in the letter to satisfy them that they
will have their "innings" now that they have got
hold of the helm of the ship of state.
