trying, for on reflection / felt that it
was far better that the republican
ticket should succeed (whatever my
personal opinion had been and was
concerning oandidate), than that
the government should go
into the bands Of the demooratic party.
But / conld not, under any cireum-

something about candidate that did
not believe, and ii 1 were to make
speeches and say what did believe as

worse for the party than staying at

stern old political mikados of the north

terview at Minneapolis that Governor
Pierce was under direct and minute in
structions from President Cleveland and
that all his official moves were dictated
from national headquarters, he was
mentioned as being profoundly iudes-
Greet and for this sin it was given out
that Acting Governor Mccormack
would probably remove his official
head and give to the people new at
torney general in the person of Matthew
Edgerton, of Bismarck. Attorney Gem
eral Eugle only laughed at this threat, Q
horsey sort of laugh of his own, be-
tokening confidence in the solidity oil
his official standing. Then he went out
upon the Minneapolis highway, called
up reporter and had himself again
interviewed. In this he substantiated
the correstness of the previous inter.
view, announced that the combined in
fuence of McCormack aud Day would
be insufficient to effect hie removal and
flung defiance in this teeth
OF the democratic court at Bismarck
He predicted the removal Of Secretary
| Mccormack for violations of the presi,
dents anti pernicious activity order and
specified instances wherein the secretary
had appeared upon the stump to thu
neglect of his officisl duties. Upon thu
point General EnRle remarked:
The honorable secretary should not b.
surprised to wake up some fine naorninf
. and find some one else occupying hi
office, as he can be removed within forty
eight hours. The president is very firm
in cases where his civil service orders ar

A gentleman well known to Dako-
taians and one who has lively interest
in Dakota affairs is p. s. Heath, q
Washington news gstherer and now
special Washington correspondent OF
the Omaha Bee. Under date of the
10Th inst he sends the following to the
Bee: M
Dakotaians who have been in Wash
lngton since their recent elections have
expressed the belief that the territory
will soon be divided, and that at least
the southern half admitted to statehood.
They look upon the vote cast in all parts
OF Dakota as the strongest possible evil
dence OF an almost universal desire for
division and statehood, and say 1t Will
now be an absolute waste: of time to
have an election to determine any quesA
ton relating to statehood, as the issues
we're 30 definiteiy drawn in the recent
canvass as to make the wish of the
people plain to anybody. Wherever
opponents OF division and statehood
we're candidates they were overwhelming.
~ defeated by friends otthe caase.
This correspondent says Governor
Pierce expresses q belief that the cauee
OF Dakota will prevail in the house at
the coming session. He says further
that that Governor Pierce favors divi-
sion and statehood, in opposition to the
wishes of his northern neighbors and
political companions.

ANNAPOLIS ONE


Persons given TO meditation must of,
ten have found ample material for spec
ulation in endeavoring to imagine what
train of thought could have prompted
the Introduction Of certain surgical pro-
cedures, or led to the first trial of this
or that therapeutical agent in the treat
ment of particular disease. What, for
example, could have stimulated the first
idea of curing sciatica by stretching the
sciatic nerve? Certainly the task OF
finding train of thought which should
conduct to-. that conclusion would be n
severe one. Many such methods have
doubtless been suggested by real or
fancied analogy between them and Ger.
tain natural accidental occurrences. and
in this sort of observation charlatans in
all ages have shown themselves singu-
larly apt.
We may quote an instance of recent
occurrence where the cure was effected
under circumstances which must have
suggested to bone-shakers their violent
and unscientific but occasionally sue
cessful manipulations. In this case the
person had been almost bedridden for
many weeks from sciatica; still suffer
ingaeutely from the attack. but trifle
less in pain, he hobbled forth to get the
benefit of little fresh air; at a crossing
he was roughly pushed by a passing
vehicle, and after a desperate but un-
availing effort to preserve his equilibrium
he fell on the road in the midst of q
fairly dense traffic. 1t was only when
he had rcgained the sidewalk that he be-
gan to feel astonishment at the, in him,
remarkable agility shown in jumping
up and running to place of safety
