School House Barned.

The Berry school house, some
four miles from Dawson, was de-
stroyed by fire on Friday night
last. As Miss Georgia Reeves
was very careful to extinguish the
last signs of fire on the evening
before leaving the house, it is
thought that the origin of the fire
was incendiary. All the books of
the children were destroyed,
which is quite loss in these hard
times. The school house has
been replaced by the energy Of
the neighborhood, and books have
been re-furnished the children by
friends and well-wishers of the
school, and Miss Georgia Will pro-
coed with her interesting work.

Thus Shall it be Done.

The nomination of 0. S. Clifford, by ac-
c.amation. by the Republican Territorial
Convention at Yankton, is one of the
most significant occurrences in the po-
litical history Of the Territory. This
spontaneous endorsement has decided
meaning and peculiar force at this time.
Mr. Giffori's consistent and earnest work
on behalf of the whole territory, and es-
and admission has won for him the I'M
qualified and unanimous endorsement of
his fellow Republicans deserved re-
ward for duty faithfully performed. 1t
means the unreserved endorsement of
the Harrison bill in all its breadth and
scope-that the people whom these dele.
gates represented are in favor of diyis-
ion at or near the 10th parallel, aud the
admission of the South half TO the union
of the States. 1t proves beyond the
shadow of doubt, that the people are
unit upon this question and that they
would not permit any uncertain sound in
a matter involving the issue of their
rights as American Citizens. Every del
ega.e met in this convention with full
understanding Of what the people wan
ted, and in their action voiced that senti-
ment to the echo.
The action Of both the Democratic and
conventions of the Territory,
shows conclusiveiy that the oft-repeated
statement made by Boyanton, Barrett
and johnson, at Washington last winter,
hat the people did not know what they
tainted were not united upon the pro-

The following beautiful passage occurs
in an article in the Sioux Fails Press, Of
recent date, headed, "rhey are growing
old" But, Comrade Cressey, so far as
the age of veterans is concerned, you
must have observed that not near all of
them are SO youthful and risky as thy
agile self and those others of the frater-
nifty you mention-not all of them still
carry the verdure of boyhood and the
elasticity of saplings in their limbs
however free their locks may be from a
tinge of hoariness, not all the remaining
warrior heads that bowed in sorrow at
news from Bull Run and Fredericksburg
are to-day crowned with brown or au-
burn. Upon many, SO many of the he
roic boys have come the days when not
even the inyigorating zephyrs of this
Dakota of ours can charm away the slow
ness of their step and the disposition to
have the canteen of applejack come with
less exhaustive effort than five mile
march. They are growing old. Into
their lives are creeping days of patri-
archal mellowness, when the thought
many times is more of what has been
than what is to be. And while down in
to the yale of life they stroll, let us hope
that the age which is so certainly over
coming their bodies may still keep its
rayages out of their chivalrous and in
trepid hearts"

The London Economist has revised it's
estimate of the British aud French wheat
crop, and now places the crop of Great
Britain at IS, 100000 bushels, against So
000, 600 bushels last year, showing def
cit of 2, 500 900 to be supplied by an ex-
ira importation. The deficiency in France
is even greater, the present years harvest
being placed at 2S3 100000 bushels as
against 313 10000 bushels in 1885, de-
crease of 20.20o,000 bushels. There is
also shrinkage of 10000, 900 bushels in
the rye crop of the latter country. Hence
it will be seen that these two nations will
require 7l,700009 bushels more foreign
wheat, or it's equivalent in flour, during
the import year ending with August 81
1887, than they did for that ending to-day.
LooSing to the source of supply, We
find that the current years harvest in all
the wheat exporting countries outside Ct
the United States. with the possible ex-
ception of the Argentine Republic and
Canada, have deficient crops, and as those
two countries cut very Insignificant fig
ure as exporters of breadstuifs, there is
reason to suppose that the United States
will be drawn upon to furnish large per
centage of the deficits above mentioned.
The fact that crops in other bread-im-
porting countries of Europe are also be-
low last years yield gives additional as.
surance that they, too, will become more
liberal buyers of American wheat during
the coming year, and it may be reasona-
bly, predicted that our exports of wheat
and -four during the next twelve months
will largely exceed those of the export
year just closing. The conclusion derives
further confirmation from the fact that
our crop just harvested is far superior in
quality to the grain of any other country
with which it will come in competition,
except the scanty surplus that viii go
from Manitoba and the other Western
provinces of British North America,
where the grain is said to be identical
with the number one hard wheat from
Northern Minnesota and Dakota.
Appearances would seem 10 indicate
rise in wheat, and there would be were
it not for the fact that eastern monetary
and monopoly interests keep down the
price until the country is dreamed of all
it's surplus. Until the people of the
great northwest take steps TO force their
interests upon the attention of the whole
country, they may expect to continue to
be robbed IN the came systematic way
every year.

The order OF the governor of Pennsyl-
vania to the Attorney General to proceed
against the anthracite coal pool for un-
lawful combinations to force up prices
and restrict production will be watched
as to its execution with interest. The
abuses named by Gov. Pattison have
been published from time to time in the
press Of the country setting forth the gi-
gantic wrong being perpetrated ON the
public. They have eBtailed suffering
beyond measure upon the miners, who
aresubjected TO enforced idleness from
time TO time by the closing down of the
works for the benefit of the members of
the pool. Consumers have been burden
ed with uniustifiably high prices and
have been held firmly In the grip of the
monopoly. The combination is samp-
sonian in strength, and will make ro-
bust fight for it's profitable methods. No
wonder those fellows want empire states
in the west ithat they may continue to
control the fountain of all political power
in this country, the u s. Senate, and
thus control the legislation of the coun-
try in the interest of the gigantic mono
poles of the east.
