ONLY q few days ago a refined and
educated young lady IN Kentucky, who
was destitute and unable TO obtain hon
orable employment, drowned herself. In
her trunk was found letter saying she
was tired OF life and denonncing God as
a fraud in whom she had trusted all her
life but who would not help her in t1o,l-
BILE and distress. That such extremity 10
distraction had a place IN a christian
land where one can hardly get out OF
sight of church stccples Is sad commen-
tary upon the practical work of christi
anity. No donbt all the churches IN
that locality contribute to the missionary
fund for saving the heather of foreign
lands, and yet under the very shadow OF
their churches n young woman of their
own race and country is allowed to "cursc
God and dlc' for the want of a little
christian aid and sympathy. Many a
noble girl has ben starved and driven to
a choice between suicide and prostitution
for the want OF a portion Of the fuL DIS ab-
sorbed by missionaries IN converting the
heather beyond the seas. 1t may be that
the churches do not know of the misery
and want and danger of this kind in
their midst but they could easily ascer.
tain by Il little inquiry Such unfortu-
mates left to contend single handed
and alone with the wilcs of the devil,
and If driven by the desperation OF want
to shame they are placed under the ever
lasting ban of Ostracism.

The growth of this territory during the

basis of their remarks on the subject OF

sufficient population to entlte us to a
representative in congress under the last

cusing us Of voting our uhiamed savages

not cut much of figure one way or the
other. They absolutely and pelsistently
refused to accept anything as authentic
upon the subject except tho census oi

THERE IS bare possibility that Two
very prominent gentlemen will be called
upon to make an explanation. One OF
them is cx-assoclate justice of the SUI
preme cOnrt of the United States and eX-
United States senator from Illinois, Judge
Davis, and the other is the grea: Vermont
lawyer, Senator Edmnnds. AS president
of the senate after the death of president
Garfield to the expiration Of his senate
rial term Judge DAVIS Is charged with
drawing from the trcaaury 5000 a year
as vice resident. Senator Elmunds sue
cceded Judge Davis in the position oi
president Of the senate and held the po-
sltion from the expiration of Judge Da-
vis' term TO the end Of president Arthur's
term likewise drawing the $4,000 q year
salary OF he vice president. 1t is assert
cd that there was no authority Of law for
this AZ neither Of them was wee president
in law nor In fact. II seems TO be a knot
ty question and may furnish considerable
political amusement, but rs the two grav,
and reverened senators already have the
money IN their pockets they will not be
likely to lose as much sleep over the dis.
pnte as the politicians. AS these gentle
men were entitled to $1,000 year as
president of the senate it makes no diff
terence TO the people whether they drew
1t rs president of the senate or as vice
president Of the United States.

The somewhat imaginary sentimental
IAN that pictures the Indian as model
Of honesty generally receives u shock
whenever and wherever test is applied.
That sentiment is principally indebted
for its origin to graduated school girls in
the east whose opinions are formed from
fairy stories or Sunday school libraries
which only show up the good points of
exceptionally good Indians who perhaps
lived al \ "timc when the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary" When
the Indian becomes extinct and there is
no danger OF him showing up rs living
contradiction of the sentiment this mode
of teaching honesty will he more lmpres-
slve thaD It is now. A few days ago the
Indians at the lower Brule agency resist
ed by riot the enumeration OF their num-
her Tor basis OF issuing government ra-
,ions because it would reduce the amount
az they alc now drawing rations tor a
number Of dead Indians. This is clear
case Of dishonesty and one that compares
very favorably with tho. white mans in
gcnnity in the same direction.

THE people of New York are severely
criticised by the press Of other cities for
nslng the mourning drapery used on the
day of Gen. Grants funeral as a means of
obtaining money for the monument fund.
The plan is to cut these goods up into
little pieces and sell them at exorbltant
prices as mementos of that event. This
plan might do to raise church fund or
fund tor the benefit OF the poor but for
the city Of New York, with its countless
millions Of wealth, to resort to such a
scheme is almost disgusting. The dispo-
sltion to let New York build her own
monument ,s cropping out all over the
country, and it seems now that the peo-
pie outside OF that city wall build their
monument at Washington where they
feel the illustrions warrior should have
been buried. The paople were disposed
10 waive their personal feelings as to the
place Of burial in Difference to the deci-
sion OF the question by the family but
they are not required by courtesy or
otherwise to,do SO in regard to the proper
place for the monument.

teut,on of the gentlemen interested To

ment has been made, the building Of the
road will depend upon the encourage
ment receive,, from the towns along the
proposed line, particularly jamestown,
IN the way Of right Of way facilities, etc.
The building Of the road is entirely pri-
vate speculation. Messrs. Livingston and

proye the more advantae eeons. The road

is sufficient money on hand to build the

THE supreme court of the state of New
York has Just decided case that IS new
in jurisprudence and the decision will 60
on record as an addition to the common
law of the country. The case is one OF
peculiar importance to business men. 1t
was one in which & man engaging in busi-
ness on his own account sought to use
the prestige of former employment in a
business house of widely known reputa-
ton and good standing by using on his
sign and business cards in connection
| with his own name and business the
words "late with" so and so, his former
employer. The latter complained that the
effect of the announcement was to take
away from his trade and injure his busl-
ness. The court held that defe ndant had
no right to use the name Of his former
employer. That "nothing is more com
pletely the property of man than hi
name, and that no other person has
right to use it without the owners con
sent, and that the use Of the plaintiff
name to make conspicuous the rival bust
ness and name Of the defendant ls q clea
violation Of the property rights Of tn

druggists that dissolved partnership, one
continuing the business at the same place
and the other starting up anew IN anoth-
er place and using in connection with his
name and business the words slate OF the
firm Of 80 and so, IN which his right to
do so was sustained by the court of ap-
peals.
There Is q wide difference in the two
cases. In the first the man as empleye
had no property interest IN the name
and business reputation of the man by
whom he was employed. His remunera.
ton for services was not in the least le-
gally contingent upon the good reputa-
tion or business success of his employer.
lie had no more property rights or inter-
est IN the business, name and reputation
of his employer than the field laborer has
in the name, products and real estate of
the farmer by whom he is employed. But
in the case cited by the Herald both men
had property interest and rights in the
prestige OF the old nrln anil both had a
right TO use them. Merely bccsuse IN
the arrangement of dissolution of the
CO. partnership one of them renamed at
the old stand did not give him exclusive
right to the prestige of the old firm.

w heat Figures.

One thing that puts damper on any
immediate rise in prices, is the amount of
OH wheat now on hand, which amounts
to something like 4O,0oO,OO bushels,
against only 100000 last year. The
amount of flour is also very large, and
the European demand for our wheat is
not heavy. All these things combined
are apt 10 cause many to form very con-
servative idea regarding future prices.
1t is well known that the winter wheat
crop shows decrease of 10000, 600
bushels, and there will be a great demand
for winter wheat, which will not be as
plentiful as 1t was last year. This will
have tendency to advance the rrlce Of
spring wheat, though the crops this year
will not be first class in quality. But it
cannot be denied that bushel of wheat
Will be worth considerable more tins fall

Now is the time when tribulations Of
many kinds beset the federal department
office holders at Washington. They see
decapi,atioD IN every flying straw and are

days ago man representing himself as a

dent put IN an appearance at Washington
and soon made it known to the clerks
that the prestige, Of his indirect relation
to the president in a business way was
such that q word from him would decap-
tate or retain any OF them in q position.
OF course these clerks contributed to the
Unauthorized and extortionatc demands
OF the man who, as they supposed, held
their official destiaies in the palm of his
hand. Having extorted all he could out
of the clerks in office he levied tribute
upon the Office seekers outside for his in
nuencc to secure their appointment, grad
ing the fee IN proportion to the impor-
tance and cmoluments Of the office de-
sired. In the meantime letter Of inqni-
ry was sent the alleged brother and law
partner Of the president who answered
that nc had no brother and that the man
to whom they referred was fraud and a
swintller. All who paid money to this
swindIer have not only lost their money

Tie political campaign in Ohio this
yehr is one Of peculiar vexation and lnter
est, and it must be confessed tha: tue
prbhibitlonists are the only ones mat
have an unequivocal and explicit al
form. The principal contest in hat
state tins cam mpa,gn Is the liouor uuestl ion.
The prohibitionis,s have forced th.s iesue
into the campaign and are not only Me
tcrmined to fight it on: on this line nut
are equally determined that nclths OF
the leading political parties shall cFade
the issue. The democratic party dec fares
in favor Of license law, while the re-
publican party steers its craft between
the two with policy that may bel ex-
planned to favor prohibition In the ldcall-
ties where prohibition is popular, a'td H.
cense where license is popular, and 'Is lar
as possible avoid the iss,le entirely.
There is no use in attempting to d's-
gnise the fact that prohibition has BECOME
an issue in public sentiment that WI lIl no
longer down at the bidding of pol itical
leaders. Its advocates are enlisted for
the war, and the zeal they man,fest IA
making itself felt on public sentiment.
Its motto IS that of Gen. Grant wheH h }
took command Of all the union armies
against the rebels, namely, immediate
and unconditional surrender" lscvolu-
tions never go backwards, and if the pol
icy Of the prohib,tlonIs:s is right and an
advance step IN progress 1t will prevail,
and parties might as we'll recognize It
first as last. The principles advocated by
, the abolitlonists prevailed because they
were light, and right will ultimately pre-
vail in all cases.
AS the blood of the martyrs was The
seed of the church so the war made upon
the pIohibltionisls has strengthened
them. They can no longer be ignored by
the two political parties They wrecked
F., the republican party in the presidential
campaign last year, not because they

cause they intended to show the world

nit the crime OF murder, manslanghter,

or white man, within or without rcser-

most immunity from punishment as the
counties to which these reservations may

such offenders to justice. Formerly such
offenders were tried by the United States

Cost Of Raising Wheat,

Some one has furnished the Casselton
Buzzard with the following estimate of
the cost of raising wheat in Dakota. The
estimate is said to be based upon the cx-
perience of SIX successive years in the
business in the Red river valley. The
calculation is made on the basis of six
teen bushels per acre. Hay is reckoned
at 81 per ton, and oats at twenty five
cents per bushel. Each horse is allowed
sixteen pounds of hay and sixteen pounds
of oats per day when at work, and TWEEN
ty pounds Of hay when IDLE. Four horses
and one man are allowed to the plowing
of four acres per day, three horses and
one man TO seed six acres, three horses
and two men TO cut and shock twelve
acres. Wages are calculated at $40 per
month during plowing and seeding, a,
$175 during harvest. Board at thirty
