States, General Barrios, lutc President
Of Guatemala, was by far the greatest.
He was as great in his way as either
Grant or Napoleon. He possessed all
the natural gifts which tended to make
a great leader, but he was lacking in
the advantages of education. lie was
one of the bravest Of men. An attempt
was made to assnssinate Barrios by
throwing q bomb at him. 1t fell a,

he did so: "Thesc people dom,

A TALK WITH ROBERT TOOMBs.
He Says the ,Confederacy Failed Be-
cause JEFF Davis was Incompetent.

Vouco JUL AosiS UaS
ATLANTA, August 9.-In an interview
: General Robert Toombs expressed him
self on many points in his past career
Tho culmination of my political ca
reer,'' said General Toombs. "was the
secession agitation. The statement that
there existed among the Southern Scna-
tors in 1859 and 1860 a conspiracy to
force secession, is untrue. There was
no conspiracy. no understanding. The
e~ncroachment Of Northern congressman
upon the reserved rights Of the States,
the inccndiary agitation Of disturbing
questions in that section, had alarmed
the Southern States. They elected
men to Congress to represent their
views. These men were representa-
2 tiyes, and were only guilty Of the same
conspiracy az always exists betXcen
constituent and representative. The
question of secession came up from the
people just in the same shape as other
questions come, and consequently
Southt IN Senators merely presented the
views of those whom they represented.
They.wcnt home and addressed their
constituents upon that, as they did up
on all other questions. All of my
speeches were SO made to my constituents
in Georgia, or in my place upon the
foor Of the Senate. Il always gave my
utterances to the press freely. ] never
suppressed a speech nor spoke in rid
dies. My life has been IN open page,
which all men might rend."
Was there eve a hope Of success for
the C%onfederacy, and if so why did it
fail ?'
There was no doubt Of success" an
swered the General. "The South could
have succeeded had it not been throt-
tied by West Point. The Presidency Of
the Confederacy was offered to Inc and
declined. When South Carolina, with
singular stupidity wrapped itself around
Jefferson Davis, Mississippi was not so
insane, but could not out Of courtesy,
vote against her own citizen. Hence,
Davis became President and West Point
was the school whence he drew his
ideas. He had graduated from that in
stitution and could never be brought to
realize the fact that men in civil life
knew anything. He filled commands
with West Pointers, and he stuck to
them throughout every reverse. The
martinez discipline of that institution
was the ontyEeliance Of Mr.. Davis"
"Under whom could the Confederacy
have succeeded ?"
Albert Sidney Johnston was the. ono
man Hhoseeuld have, certainly succeed
ed, but death cut his career short.
Joseph f. Johnston came next. When
yefferson Davis, INSPIRED by domestic
iMtrigues, removed Johnston from the
command Of Sthe Western army, he
killed the C9nfederacy. Davis was
thoroughly incompetent. His fort was
review writing. He would have been a
successful magazine man. but in the
hustle Of practical, every day life he
was utterly lost. My personal feeling
for Mr.. Davis is Of the kindest chaarc-
ter, but that does not remove the facts

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1885-04-09

Riel's rebellion in the northwest is as
Stunning quite formidable aspect, and is
likely to prove source OF considerable
trouble and expense, and some loss of life,
to the Dominion government, before it is
subdued. With Riel fighting in the north,
and Barrios in the south, with England en-
gagged in what seems to be disastrous con-
fiict in the Soudan, with the French fighting
in the far east, and all Europe on the ragged
edge" as it we're, the very atmosphere laden
with rumors of war that is liable to break
forth at any moment, our people cannot be
too thankful that they are at profound peace
with the entire world, and are likely to re-
main so. There is no question but that the
United States is not only the freest, but also
the most prosperous and happy Nation on
earth.

The senatorial dead lock in the Illinois
Legislature still continues. For upwards of
three months, the members of each house
have enacted tho daily farce of meeting in
Joint session and casting a vote for u. S.
senator. Two of the members of the legis-
Iature have died since the fight began, and
there is no prospect that a choice would be
made, if the session should last until all the
members had followed them. Black Jack
still continues TO be the candidate of the
republicans, while the democrats appear to
have no particular fayorite, but seem actu-
ated only by desire to defeat Logan.
There is, apparently, no probability that any
man will be elected by the present legisla-
ture which, in the course of human events,
will ultimately adjourn, leaving the Office va
cant, when the governor will undoubtedly
appoint Mr.. Logan, who will hold the Office
until the next legislature of the state shall
be chosen. That body will probably be re-
publican in sentiment, and re-elect the grand
old soldier for full term.

An old idea is freshened up consider
ably i'll pointed article in the Milbank
Index entitled, "The State Of North
Pacific" It deals with the power
already acquired by the North Pacific
railroad corporation and draws as its
conclusion that Dakota is already d,vi-
ded into Dakota proper and what it des.
lgnates as the state of North Pacific. Its
influence extends over nearly the whole
of the north half of the territory, and
"in that vast region" says the Index,
"the Northern Pacific railroad is the
state, and public sentiment seems to
be only the echo of Northern Pacific
desires. With its numerous resources,
and thorough organization, this gigan-
tic corporation is we'll nigh omnipotent.
With selfshness inherent and un-
appeasable it crowds to the wall
every interest which does not con-
tribute to its own power and
'aggrandizement. Every measure
proposed for the general welfare
lis carefully weighed and considered with
reference solely to its effect upon North
Pacific affairs. Whatever the urgency
for On asylum, u hospital, school, O
'penitentiary, or any other public insti-
tuition, it must be localized or dupli-
Gated for the benefit of North Pacific.
"Hence to appease the selfish voracity
'of this monster corporation, the legisla.
'ture has always been compelled to pro-
vide duplicate institutions throughout
the territory, at double the necessary
cost, or to allow the people to suffer fol
the want of them"
The power possessed by the North
Pacific corporation for controlling oil
political, financial and legislative mat.
ters in Dakota Is one of the chief causes
for the determined, unyielding effort to
secure division. The south half of Da.
kota. though really in the majority, is
unable to cope with the monied powe,
of so formidable on antagonist. 1t hos
stolen the capital of the territory from
the south because it can best
accomplish its designs with
the seat of government located upon itt
own ground. 1t is, as the Index says
the state. It owns the state house and
it will continue to purchase and own {
majority of its biennial occupants. The
North Pacific corporation opposes divi
sion because it proposes that the tax.
payers of the wealthy south shall sup
port the state, while the North Pacific
dictates the governing policy. its power
will go on in an increasing ratio and il
the years to come Dakota will be more
hopelessly under its heel than now. The
avenue of escape is through tho division
proposition. which will force upon til,
North Pacific the necessity of paying
the expenses of government conducted
under its dictation.

Efforts are being made to have the
first territorial agricultural fair held in
Huron. This oity is centrally located.
and easy of access by rail, with good
fair grounds and hotels with ample &C.
commodatlons for multitude of peo-
ple-Hnron Times.
Huron cannot have the first territorial
fair, because Yankton is many years
ahead of it and Vermillion comes in for
second honors. The frat territorial fair
was held here in 1876, on the grounds
now occupied by the Kountz brick works
It was not very extensive gathering. but
was good as far as it went. The next
year the fair went to Vermilllon, and
there it was SO poorly patronized that
the society surrendered it's existence and
there have since been no territorial
agricultural gatherings.

Rev. VIM. B. Aff1eck, pastor of the
Methodist church at Chamberlain prints
q reply to Major Gasmann's official re-
port concerning the settlement and i'm
provements on that portion of the Crow
Greek and Winnebago tract opened by
President Arthur. Major Gasmann re-
ported that there were not more than
four hundred settlers on this tract and
that their improvements would not
average more than ten or fifteen dollars
per settler. Mr.. Affleck introduces in
his reply the following statement from
United States Commissioner Stearns:
I have taken afidavits of 2l4 settlers
on Grow Greek reservation, in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Chamberlain. Each
affidavit is corroborated by two credita-
BILE witnesses. Said afiidavits show the

ings, barns, etc., GS wells, ETC., and
give total valuation of improvements
aggregating $52,36S. These afidavits
also show several hundred acres OF
breaking and large amount of stock,
with farm machinery, etc. The lowest
valuation for any settler is $40, and the
highest is Sl,400. The aftidavits also
show the former homes of the parties to
have been principally in the eastern and
central states.
This is evidence conclusive that nu.
merous settlers have gone upon the lands
in good faith and have expended theil
means IN preparing homes for them.

tract is represented in Mr.. Stearns
statement, the Winnebago half being
