the settlers cannot we'll do otherwise, as
they arc unable to meet the expenses OF
withdrawal from lands in which their
all is invested.

There does not appear to be much of a
conciliatory nature in the attitude of
kussis since late developments in con-
nection with the Penjdeh affair. The
Russian foreign minister attempts to ex-
cuse General Komaroff's action and
complains that the presence of q consid-
cradle Engllsh force on Kuskh river and
the inaammatory language of the Earl
of Dufferin encouraged the Afghan at.
tack which compelled Russia to CROSS
the border and engage in battle. Rus.
sia declines to subscribe to definite
agreement not to advance beyond the
boundary line and the English lion is
lashing its historic aanks with its angry
caudal appendage. Meantime the pur-
chase of war ships and general sanguln-
ary preparations are in progress.

Sundays rain extended over most OF
southern Dakota. 1t has been reported
from Elk Point, Sioux Falls and Elan.
drau, in the Sioux valley, from Mitchell,
in the Jim valley and from Miller, on
the divide between the Jim aud the
Missouri. 1t is probable also that
Mondays heavy rain was general. These
visitations of moisture are of vast i'm
portance to Dakota. A largely increased
area of wheat has been sown, the war
prospects inducing farmers to engage IN
the production of breadstuffs on ON en-
larged scale. Since last fall continu.
ous drouth had prevailed, the snow Of
winter being scant and the spring rains
were discouraglngly delayed. Bat na.
ture has atoned for its shortcomings in
one generous watery visitation, and the
soil will respond under the quickenlnR
influence of moisture and heat. The
prospect now is that the crop of 1885,
will be the largest ever gathered in Da
kota. Present conditions almost insure
this.

If the testimony of men qualified by
education and long experience to judge
correctly can be relied upon, Yankton
is the fortunate possessor OF coal de.
posit which must in time add largely to
the population, general wealth and pros.
perity of the community. Since the dis
covery was made. Investigations have
been quietly pushed. There has been
no undue excitement over the find.
Competent experts have dclved in the
earth with the drill and the rod and
every prospect has brought the same re-
suit coal of good quality, in paying
quantities. The final Investigations
were made by Mr.. Timmon, an expert
from tho Iowa coal fields, man who
has worked in coal many years in various
portions Of the country. From what
can be learned it is concluded that he
came here in the interest of q corpora.
tion which had reasons for establishing
belief that no coal existed at or near
Yankton. But after making thorough
prospect the evidences are so conclusive
that he announces favorable result

There is nothing uncommon in dis.
agreement among doctors and il is not
surprising that the distinguished physi-
clans attendant upon General Grant
should develop points of difference. Dr..
Douglas, the regular family physician,
is in charge Of the case, DR.. Shrady,
specialist in cancerous troubles; is as.
sisting and Drs. Sands and Barker are
associated with them for consultation.
The bulletins have been signed by
Douglas Or Sbrady, or both, but the
other physlcians have not affixed their
signatures to any official statements. 1t
is now given out that the two consulting
physicians are disposed to criticize the
diagnosis of the case and to complain of
exaggerated statements relative thereto
The general public in its Joy over pros.
poets for the recovery of the distin.
guished patient will not now be much
interested in these professional differ
ences, but as time goes on there will arise
adesire to know exactly the nature of the
ailment which brought General Grant so
near to his grave. His improved condi-
tion is the subject of many coniectures.
DR.. Douglas says: "Some of the alarm.
ing complications have been eliminated
that is ALL" To the unprofessional
mind this is not clear explanation of
his condition. Rev. DR.. Newman at
tributes the improved condition of the
patient to the partial result of numerous
sincere prayers from. christian sympa.
thizers all over the country. A distin.
guished New York physician, DR.. W. a.
Draper, says there is no doubt that the
generals ailment has, to o considerable
extent, yielded to treatment and that it
looks as though recovery might follow
Mark Twain believes that Grant will
live at least until autumn and that he
will finish his book. So the disagree
ments OF the doctors are of little mo
ment in view of the possibility that til.
patient may recover.

Citizens ofLawrence County have
great reason to be proud of the fact
that while many other counties in
Eastern kentucky have become a
.by-Yord for lawlessness and disor-
der, we have not sullied Our record
by deeds of great violence and
crime. True, the docket of our
Criminal Court is very large one,
but the offences are mostly INSIDE
meanors. Our officers find little or
no diflicaltyin enforcing the law,
and they are not growing rich on
their fees. We repeat that we
should be proud of this wholesome
state of affairs, and that it may con-
tinue let us forever maintain the
prohibition barrier which we have
erected. Whisky is the 'direful
spring of woes unnumbered,n and
so long as we can prohibit its sale
we are comparatively safe from yio-
lence and disorder.

Civil Service on the Farm.

In these days, when so much attention
is given to ''civil service reform,' and

offices and clerkships in Governmental
Observation-Disclosures, State, Municipal
etc.-it may be well to inquire whether
the rules adopted in these are not appli-

ers, WHO apply for work to present strong

competency, the difficulty may be meas
urably overcome. But in order 10 render
this plan practicable, and Of benefit to
those specially interested, farmers must
scrupulouslyregard each others interest.

as he would be done by, should recon-

person that he would not himself employ

1t has been repeatedly declared
that writing letters is a dangerous
pastime. That this declaration is
true almost every man or woman
whe is addicted to epistolary diver
sion must admit, The main who Of
fers himself for office, and who
thinks his record clean and his ar
mour impenetrable, is often con-
fronted with some forgotten letter
which in moment Of fanaed Sc
curity he was tempted to write to
some very dear friend. The lover,
"sighing like furnace, oft swears
to the idol ofhis heart thatshe, on
ly She, is the one upon whom his
affection, and his caramels have
been lavished, when 10 he is dumb
founded by theunexpe1ted turning
up of yellow, tlme-stained effusion
in which some other Juliet was am
oronsly addressed by our Romeo.
1t is well to say burn this but
it is better to give no cause for ere
matory proceedings.
Let us point this moral with "a
melancholy instance. Twenty-Five
years ago Halstead, the great Mu-
rat, wrote a private letter to Cover
nor Chase, in which he called Grant
"a drunken ass and Lincoln driv-
cling imbecile, and begged for the
removal of Grant and the assassin
alton of the President Aud now,
nearly a quarter of a century after
ward, this incendiary document
turns up in fac-simile, occupying a
whole page of the great editors rival

of striking contrasts should read
this letter and Halstead's fulsome
eulogies of General Grant, written
two or three months ago.
