Official Paper of Griggs County
From John Smith.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9, 1856.

The confirmation of Dan. w. Maratta
to be United States Marshal for Dakota.
ends the fight. Captain Dan is the Win
ner, and will probably be generous.
Anyway, he will not be in the conven-
ton. although some of his friends may
be. If they try to pay off scores, it will
not be the fault OF the Marshal.
Smith ID. Fry, who has held a position
in the post office department. for some
time. has resigned. Mr.. Fry is pretty
we'll known i'm Dakota as ''John Smith. :"
the strike-flom-the-s shoulder Washington
correspondent. lie will devote all of
his time TO the Dakota News Bureau
Judge Clifford will surely be on hls
way home. when the letter reaches you.
lie is not over-contident, as some of the
papers have asserted. lie is Simply
passive, and is not making any special
preparations for a campaign. He says
that he cannot do anything of that kind
while he is here and that he will not try.
lie believes that when he gets home lie
can do as much campaigning as any of
them. and he will 90 to work. lie is
not sanguine of the nomination, but he
hopes for it and anticipates it. Clifford
has been Il good. conscientious, and
painstaking delegate. lie has made no
effort to be brilliant and showv. lie
has simply gone about his business
clamly and carefully.
1t is not true that Hon. NJ. III. DAY
has lost prestige before the Departments
here. He has as much influence as
ever; and possibly a little more.
Among contemplated changes in the
office, there are mentioned the pust-ot-
flee at DeSmet. Relltield. Bruoliil@gs
\ berdeen, Fargo and Grand Folks.
Look out for fun. The "outs'' will
struggle for the places. and the Gins
will fix their teeth OH the collars of the
offices, and hold on With bulldog ten
acity. 1t will be a pretty fight. with the
odds i'll favor of the ''outs.' 1t is a big
thing to have a president backing fell
low in fight.
If my friend Day We're a merciful
man, he would allow Nick to 90 to
school for a few years. before he forces
him OH the people as a DELICATE. Ignor-
ance of grammer, spelling, and rhet-
Oric. should not be considered as qualii-
cations for elective office.

Il. v. smallcy's Note Book.

The coffee-colored torrent of the St.
Louis River, in its mad race of ten
miles through a rocky gorge before it
loses itself in the Bay of Fond du Lac,
presents spectacle worth travelling far
to see. The water power is enormous.
but water power is of small account in Il
purely numbering country for tine reason
that the slabs and saw(lust made 10y the
mill furnishes without cost fuel sufficient
to generate all power needed to run the
machinery.
Anyone at all fond of geographical stu
dy IS now to notice in going from Brain
erd to Duluth, how close to the head
Of the lake is the water shed which forms
the rim of the basin draining into Sup
error. The railroad cuts through a low
ridge at Norman. about thirty miles
from Duluth and then begins to descend
rapidly towards the lake. West of that
almost unnoticeable dividing line the
water runs TO the Gulf of Mexico; east
of it to the Gulf of st. Lawrence If
not on the roof pole of the continent,
Lake Superior may be said to be OH one
of the alters. 1t ir singular that such a
mighty sea should receive the drainage
OF so small region of surrounding ter
ritory. Look upon good map and see
how close the H0uteur ,le Terre comes to
the northern shore and how near to the
southern shore are the sources of the st.
Croix. tbs Chippewa and the Wisconsin
rivers which flow into the Mississippi.
1t is very much the same with all the
great lakes. Not one of them receives
the waters of single large river. Few

Track Talk.

The record for Iowa bred three-year-
olds has been lowered by l. Jaw s.. a
son of Tramp. Had the performance
been mile track. instead of lalf-mile
track. the chances are that the time
would have been 2o::33S44, 22::334, instead of
2:45544 22::44544, 22:4l.
Up to June 16, Cha.lie Wood was still
in the lead of English jockeys. with 81
wins out of ODD ODD mounts. Fred Archer
prorime. .accc.si with 20 i'm PCS. j. Bar
rett was third. with 81 in 326.
Miss Woodford may have finished
Tronbadour. 1t is said OH fairly COM
petent authority that the great colt has
broken down. His failure to fill his
Chicago engagements corrohorates tins.
The pacer;Dan ID. was seized on at
tachment at Detroit by Frank Van Ness
on claim against Jacobs, his driver.
The animal was subsequently released
on bond of $4,000.
d. $. Quinton, Jr., owner of Gossip,
Jr.. offered to pace him i'm free-for-all
with Little Mac, Brown Hal, Dan d..
johnson and all others.
The stallion Delineator. that has a
pacing record of BIS this season, is only
four years old. lie is owned by Pat
Dickerson, of Mount Vernon, Ind.
The American jockeys with the high
est percentage of the season. are: Isaac
Murphy, 500: Jim Mclaughlin, .4l9:
and Snapper Garrison, 400.
Frank Van Ness recently drove IIar-
ry Wilkes mile in 2:l7 on a half-mile
track. He now proposes that lie will
cover mile in 2OS before fall.
Queen Wilkes recently stepped off a
half mile at Fleetwood in lO9!. Pretty
good for green one, with only sixty
days training.

very nearly the case now.

There has been a great change in the
methods OF lake navigation in recent
years. Cheap coal has caused steam to
take the place of sails to such ln extent
that Nearly all the heavy business of
carrying wheat, coal and iron ore is now
done 10y huge steam barses. each taking
two sail vessels in tow. the sails of the
barge and the towed crafts being only
used as auxiliary power when the wind
is favorable. The round trip from
Lake Superior ports to Cleveland or
Buffalo is made iE about half the time
required 10y a schooner relying on it's
sails and the seamanship of it's captain.

IT IS significant fact that in neither
Milwaukee nor Chicago did policemen re-
s,st the rioters until, in Chicago, they did
it purely from the .promptings of self de-
fense, the first law OF nature, while IN
Milwaukee they are not mentioned at all
IN reports of the fight The only reason
that can be conceived for this, is that on
all of these socialists and anarchists has
been conferred the right of franchise and
the ward politicians, through whom po-
licemen receive their appointments, stand
in, hand and glove, with the imported
scum, of which the mobs ale composed,
and hence policemen do not perform their
duty, for fear of official decapltat,on. In
Milwaukee, 1t has been learned that an
alderman was leader aud adviser of the
Polish mob. A remedy for this deplora.
ole state of affairs would be more profit
able subject Of consideration for our ma
tional legislators than even the confirma-
ton of presidential appointments.
