The people Of Dakota may care lit

serted that the progress of society
must correspond to that of knowledge
yet they have adopted this law of de-
velopment. Society has not had to
wait long for the school. Both have

with quite equally rapid pace. Men
who have been here five years and
seen the the population increase from

ING their families Eastward for social
privileges; and why need they propose
to send their sons and daughters thith-
er for educational privileges! Gov.
Fierce tells us that we have in Dakota
1900 schools, which IS about one on
an average for every EOS inhabitants,
and his estimate of "a half dozen
higher institutions oil learning" is be-
low the mark. Besides the public
high schools, which are being organ
ized in the cities and larger towns, we
have the following now or soon to be
in actual operation:

The Rev. Thomas P. Burgess Installed as
Minister and Pastor OF the Church.
Ne,rs and Courier of the Is.

The ordination services st Ebene-
zer Presbyterian Church, in Nassau
Street, last night were attended by q
large congregation, and the capacity
of the little church was so severely
taxed that extra seats had to be plac.
ed in the aisles and vestibule to &C.
commodate the people. The occasion
was the ordination of the Rev. Thorn
as P. Burgess as minister and pastor
of Ebenezer Church. Mr.. Burgess,
although quite a young man, has
been licensed to preach for some time.
He was educated for the ministry at
the Columbia Theological Seminary
and at Princeton College, where he
graduated in May 1885. He was IL
censed to preach by Harmony Pres
bytery, and was soon after invited to
fill the pulpit of Ebenezer Church
During his service Oh trial the con-
gregation were so well pleased with
him that on the 18th of September he
received formal call from them to
become their pastor, and his ordina-
ton was appointed for last night. Mr.
Burgess has considerable ability and
peculiar aptitude for the profession
which he has chosen, and his caleel
promises to be one of signal success
and usefulness.
The ordination services were con-
Quoted by the Rev. J. R. Dow, assist

Where has American national hon
or gone to? Or have we got any at
all? Is it true, as foreigners write OF
US, that we are so greedy in pursuit
of the almighty dollar that we
wouldn't fight if it cost anything? It
certainly appears so. Hardly have
we gotten out of the Mexican embro-
Clio, before an English man-of-war
compels the stars and stripes to be
hauled down from the masthead Of
aa American trading schooner, SIM
ply because she violated some Cana
dian custom house lava violation
which was shown could not be avoid
ed. And now the State department
says nothing will be done in the mat
ter, as it might iniure the Fish Trea-
Ey, and as a similar ofense was COM
mitted against the British Govern
ment not long since by an American
vessel. Is the fact, that the British
Government failed to take cognizance
of an insult from an American to be
made an excuse for our not resenting
one offered to ours? Or is our wor-
thy Secretary of State afraid he might
lose a few dollars by the failure of the
Fish Treaty, in case he demands sat
isfactien. Whatever reason it may
have, if the government allows this
insult to pass unnoticed, it will be an
everlasting stain on a Democratic Ad-
ministra.ion.

A CoNUNDRUM.-A prominent citizen
is propounding this conundrum: 1t is a
well known and admitted fact that the
vast majority of the Republicans of
Caledonia county are in favor of tenn
perance and the ~prohibitory law and it
needs no argument to prove that the
political pr0hibitionists will make all
their converts from the Republican
party. Now, supposing that the pro-
hibitiOnists convert to their third party
not merely a few scores or hundreds,
but the whole Republican party how
would the cas- stand then? Would it
not leave things just about as they +
now? We a tell our friend what
would happen in the case he
Three men who wanted office and
couldn't get it would Immediately begin
to kick. They would be Joined by
twenty-seven cranks, and the thirty
would hold a convention, pass resolu.
tons denouncing the old party as an
ally of rum-sellers, and put up a straight
ticket with their own names on it.
Then they would travel through the
county claiming that they were the only
true and genuine temperance men, and
that all others were frauds. That is
what would happen. History repeats
itself.-S. Johnsburg Republican.

nominated a man for congress against
Mr.. Dingley, the strictest temperance
man In the state, a man who has de-
voted his nights and his DAYS to prohibi-
ton, and done for it than all the
rest of the prohibitionists together.
And yet they have nominated a man
against him, and if they draw off votes
from him they will elect-now I have
got my foot in it-a brother-in-laW of
mine, DR.. Gordon. / know he cares
nothing for prohibition and thinks it a
nuisance. I am in favor of putting a
plank into the national Republican plat
form in favor of prohibition. / am in
favor of the Republican party shoulder
ing prohibition, and / know that in
time the party would conquer under
that banner.-SenGtOr Frye OF Maine.
