IHE imprudent friends of Gen. Grant
would more honor the memory of the
dead general by keeping silence than
giving expression to the words: IL
would have hanged him." quoted as the
words Of Gen. Grant in regard to the sup
position, had Tilden come to Washington
TO be sworn in as president the 4,h of
March, 1877. II Gen. Grant, whose Sec
ond term as president expired at that
Time, ever gave utterance to these words
1t was the most indlscreet and unworthy
utterance Of his life, and charity should
have suppressed them from the public
prints and buried them IN his tomb. 1t
seems almost incredible that man of his
discretion and position should so far foc-
get himself as 70 harbor such a revolu-
tlona'y thought and much more so that
he should give expression to it. They
are the words of dictator, an absolute
despot, and not those of an American
citizen or president. 1t is prepostelous
because he had not, as chief executive, as
COMMANDMENTS chief, nor in any other
legal capacity power to deprive any man
OF lite without due process Of law. Such
q sentiment from man in such position
would be simply atrocious as the intent of
an act OF lawless violence and revolution
Of our system Of government. Those
mistaken friends of the dead hero should
be muzzled.

1t is not generally known, but it is
nevertheless a fact that the governor
snip of the territory has already been
rendered TO two Dakota democrats. But
they have respectfully declined. This
may seem a little strange to our reput-
lcan friends, but truth is stranger than
fiction. Few good men, who are espe-
clally fitted for it, can afford to sacrifice
all that an acceptance of the office would
demand. The man who succeeds Gov
erner Pierce will find that his lines have
not fallen into the pleasantest place. A
man with a fair name, an honorable rec
ord and comfortable competence will
hesitate a long time before be places him
self in position where he is certain to
make enemies in spite Of ali he can do.
The man President Cleveland hopes to
secure fer Dakota's chief executive is hard
to find. The fact of tender Of the gov &.
ernorship 10 any person by the president
Is itself significant of the removal of Gov.
Pierce, just as socn as the president eau
| find fit person to take his place. The
president desires to select Dakota man
for the position, and there are no doubt
plenty of able men who would he willing
to sacrifice much for the place, but they
lack in other needed Qualifications

edge of the political "fact" stated, If it
be fact. The Alert does not DOUBT the
veracity Of the Democrat, SO far as its in
tent and belief is concerned, but political
facts are not put to the usual test of con
firmation and corroboratlon applied TO
other statements of fact, consequently
they are accepted or rejected upon the
mere statement. But when political
fact is stated as above, so incredible as to
border on the impossible, it is not asking
too much to call for substantiatlng proof.
If the Democrat had stated that the gov
ernorship of this territory had been ten
dered to and declined by two democrats
IN the United States, 1t might have been
accepted as true on the supposltion that
the two preferred democrats lived some
where in the east whose ties of financial
interest and consanquinlty were too strong
to seyer for the position Of governor of
Dakota for the short space of time the
democracy will remain in power TO con /.
troll the federal patronage, but when 1t
says the position has been rendered to and
declined by "two Dakota democrats it
Is treadlng upon the absolutely and IN.
conceivably incredible. 1t is utterly i'm
possible!
If, however, this miracle In Dakota
democratic politics has transpired, the
North Dakota Democrat has it in its pow.
er to immortalize the names Of these two
democrats by making them. public. Let
their names be known and the people
with one accord and without regard to
"sex, race or previous condition." will
join in building to them monuments of
Dakota granite that will rival the ancient
tower OF Babel. If this miracle be true,
it Is wet blanket for Z,ebach and Bar
ney Caulie]d. The fact that the position
was declined is prima facle evidence that
It was not rendered to either Of those two
democratic patriots, and the fact that
they were ignored by the president in
making the tender, when he must have
known either of them would sacrifice (?)
personal feelings to accept, implles--a
great deal.

KOta occurred at Grand Forks last Friday.
the cuiprit who paid this the severest
penalty of the law being George Miller,
the murderer of the wife and little son of
Rev Smell last January. The crime was
more than ordinarily alroclsus from the
fact that the victims were an unprotected
woman and child whom every cOnsidera-
ton OF humanity would prompt man to
protect rather than destroy. The motive
was evidently avarice, the most cold
bloodcd of all motives for such CRIME
that can possibly be conceived, because 1t
was done after premcdltation in which
every plea Of humanity had presented
itself and been stifed, 1t had none of
the mitigating circumstances of excite
ment Of the moment and uncomfortable
passion suddenly aroused, but was a cool,
calculating murder for money. The plea
that revenge entered into the conception
OF the deed on account of the lady gently
and kindly rcproving the young man
few days before for going to a dance is
not entitled to any weight, or If any, it
should be against the assassin, for it was
done with evidently kind intent on her
part and in such way that no one but O
heartlcss wretch could take offense at it.
This execution was peculiar for the ab
sence of spiritual advisers who so often
on like occasions dishonor their calling
ana disgust public sentiment by holding
out the promises of grace and forgiveness
to the murderer and encouraging him
with hope until he proclaims, with the
rope around his neck, faith that he is
about to be translated from the felon's
gallows to a seat in the paradise of God.
Miller, though admitting his own guilt
as an accompllce in the atroclous murder
of helpless woman and an innocent
child, and standing on the Threshold of
eternity with lie upon his lips and do
ing fcllowman the monstrous injustice
and wrong Of accusing him of being the
real murderer, expressed the belief that
his sins were all forgiven and that he was
gong straight to heaven. This belief
and faith seems TO have been taught him
by spiritual advisers in his cell, but whose
ministerial services ere dispensed with
at the execution by his own request as he
did not want to be unne,ved by their
palavcr over him in the last moments.
A system of religious belief that not
only admits of but encourages such a
faith in the murderer is such an outrage
upon the public sense of justice and so
antagonistlc to all rational ideas of right
that 1t drives those who are religiously
inclined into skepticism and the skep,ics
into open and avowed infdelily. The
strong points which Col. Inge1soll makes
are not in support of his athesstical and
inidel ideas but against the glarlng in
consistencies and irrational tcnets Of the
christian faith, and the best and most
effective way for the churches to answer
lugersoll is not in combating his lntan-
gible theories but by correcting and cllmi
mating their own inconsistencies, enc and
the NEST glaring of which is preaching
the unregenerated victim Of the midnlgh:
as ASSN to perdltlon and the murderer TO
heaven.

About Dress Waists, Etc.

Basques and polonaises are both seen
on the new dresses, and a special feature
Of each is the real or the simulated vest,
which is seen in most varied shapes.
One design most often repeated is the
oval vest or plastron, which is formed
by closing the basque at the throat,
allowing it to fall open below by being
drawn back on the bust, and bringing it
together again at the waist line; this
may be varied by having shorter oval
opening extending Onlyto the top of the
darts, a fashion very becoming to those
with long waists, while the longer oval is
better suited to the short-waisted
figures, as it gives them an appearance of
greater length-a thing now considered
most desirable. Another arrangement
for the front of the basque is a square
gathered plastron set underneath, and
from the collar to the darts;
this square is then bordered by gallOon,
or passementerie, or braiding, which
also passes in two rows down the fronts
beside tao buttons to the end of the
pointed basque. A great many basques
are now cut in four deep points on the
front and sides as far as the side forms
Of the back, such basques usually slope
away gradually from the neck to disclose
a vest underneath, which may be pointed
also and quite plain, or else covered with |
or it may be gathered at top
md bottom somewhat in the style of the |
Fedora vests lately in vogue. Side /
pockets in broad bands with square
corners, or else diagonal sides, are again
put on the outside of basques, and may
1e braided or made of velvet.
Polonaises are very long and of severe
hapes in front, either with or without a
'est, and falling open from the waist line
lown. The hsraisl.. o. me i

A Peculiar English Woman.

The Catholic society of Englarl lost,
bv the death of Lady Georgiana Fuller
ton. one ofits most characteristic figures.
cit is Lady Georgiana or beggar, " said
a lady once, who caught sight of an ap-
preaching visitor. Her dress was OF
kind so extremely dowdy that one won
dered where she got it from; but to the
notifications she made for herself she
by no means desired to condemn her
friends. She liked the young people
about her to be as bright and gay as the
rules of their religion would allow them
to be; and she took care to be the only
thing that had not the last finish rom
Paris about it at her dinner table. Her
manners were of the sweetest, and they
were not the result so much of studied
politeness as of natural goodness OF
heart and fastidiousness Of taste. 1t was
told of her that she once took the place
OF a woman who swept a London cross
ing, so that the woman might go to
mass, and that nobody noticed the dill
ference. Yet she was equally at ease in
the appointed place at her husband s
table, groaning under its weight OF gold
plate. Latterly Lady Georgiana had
lived almost entirely at BOurnemouth,
which suited her own and her husbands
growing infirmities.

John L. Sullivan's Wife.
SHE SUES FOR DIVORCE ON ACCOUNT OF
HIS CRUELTY AND NTEMPERATE
HABITS

Annie Sullivan, wife of John L. Sulli-
van. the pugilist, has filed a suit for
divorce in the Supreme Court OF Suffolk
county, Mass. The libel sets forth that
she married Sullivan at Boston on May
/. 1882. and that they have since con-
tinued to live as husband and wife IN
Boston: that she has always been true
to her marriage VOWS and obligations,
but that John l.. Sullivan, being wholly
regardless of the same, has been guilty
of extreme cruelty toward her. He has
frequently inflicted blows upon her per-
son. and beat and bruised her and
threatened to kill her. The particular
dates on which it is asserted that Sulli-
van has abused her are Sunday, Aug.
II. Sept %, and Dec. 6, 1884. The
libel also charges that Sullivan has con-
tracted confirmed habits Of intoxication.
An attachment of his real and per-
sonal property to the amount of 500, 900
is asked for the suitable support and
maintenance of the hbelant and their
minor child John L. Sullivan, Jr', and
she requests that the son be committed
to her care and custody.
Accompanying the libel is an affidavit
of Mrs. Sullivan, setting forth that she
has reason TO fear and believe that dur
ing the pendency of the libel her hus-
band will inhict bodily harm upon her
and impose restraint on her personal
liberty, and asks for restraining order
of the Court to enioin him from so do
ing. Justice Devens has granted this
until further order of the Court Mrs.
Sullivan also asks for a suitable alimony
pending divorce proceedings. The libel
is returnable on the first Tuesday in
April next. Gen. Butler is Mrs. Sulli-
vans counsel.
