Character Indicated by Penmanship.


There are people who claim to read
mems characters from their writings.
AS the writing of every nation is distin-
guished by certain strong national pc
cularities, it is easy for an expert to de-
eide to what nation writer belongs.
Having settled that, certain large charac
teristics, which are common to all men,
but in different degrees, can be seen in
every handwriting. A certain number
of men are calm, even-lived, sensible and
practical. Men Of that class are almost
certain to write plain, round hands, in
which every letter is distinctly legible;
neither very much slanted forward, nor
tilted backward; no letter very much
bigger than its ncighbor, nor with heads
much shove or tails much below the let
ters not SO distinguished; the letters ell
having about the same general upright
ness, and the lines true to the edges of the
paper, neither tending upward nor down
ward.
Exact, business like people will have
an exact handwriting. Fantastic minds
revel in quirks and streamers, particu-
larly for the capital letters, and this
quality is not infrequent in certain
business hands, as if the writers found
relief from the prosaic nature Of their
work in giving fourishes to certain let
ters. Firm, decided, downright men are
apt to bear on the pen while writing,
and to make their strokes hard and thick
On the contrary, people who are not sure
of themselves and are lacking in self
control press unevenly and with anxious
looking, scratchy hands, Ambitious peo-
pie are apt to be overworked; they are
always in haste and either forget to cross
their It's or dot their is. They are also
apt to run the last few letters of every
word into an illegible scrawl. Hurried,
troubled, and conscious-twinged persons
have grabbed and uneven handwriting.

IT seems that in the counties along the
Northcru Pacific especially, Mr.. Day
made large gains and Clifford lost. In
otu'sman county Clifford will not get
muuh over l"0 mnJorl'y, in Kidder he re-
ceivcd one majority, ard IN other coun-
ties he ran behind. The Bismarck Tri-
bune says:
Mr.. Day, democratic candidate for
delegate, has carried Burltigh county by
about 200 majority. Reports from other
portions Of North Dakota also show an
unexpected increase over all estimates.
The cause of Mr.. Days strength may be
attributed in a measure to the unsa.isfac-
tory platform upon which Mr.. Clifford
vas placed ny the Yankton convention.
The seal Of condemnation has been placed
on the South Dakota statehood movement
by the people Of the northern and central
regions.

The Minnewaukan Sjftings got a

Rockford Transcript instead OF the Sift-

ed-accidcnt or carelessness or some

The Siftings also informs the Capital
in response to Its inquiry, that the occu-
patton of Captain Shook, the reputli-
can candidate for the Legislature, is that
OF broad guage farmer, who is solid
with the farmers, and adds:
"uc carried musket throughout the
war, while the editor of the Capital was

Anecdote of Horace Greeley,

Mr.. Greeley was queer character and
could be funny when he liked. He was
one of the originators of the American
institute and naturally took deep inter-
est in its welfare. When the annual ex-
hibition was in progress, The Tribune
columns were full of it. Sometimes Mr..
Greeley took a hack at it himself.
Though strict temperance man he one
day astonished the staff by writing a
paragraph on the wine exhibit, saying
that it included port, sherry, claret,
Chquot, Mumn, Roederer and cham
pagne. The staff We're laughing over the
old gentleman's bluuder, when he came
in and asked the cause. The slip of his
pen being pointed out, Mr.. Greeley re-
marked in his squeaky voice:
"Wa'al, I'm about the only man on this
paper who could make such id fool
ish mistake as that
He was quite right there.-Interview
in The Journalist.

If there is one general sentiment ex-
pressed by the farmers of Dakota, where
every citizen is more or less farmer,
that sentiment is denunciation of the
land laws as interpreted by Spa,ks. Pc
tltlons and remonstrancCs from leading
men here have had NJ response from the
administration except to fasten more
firmly this Objectionable and erratlc Of
ticer in his office. The democrats not on.
ly have kept and will keep Dakota from
ecomirg state, but they put one of tte
most incompetent of democrats to reign
over her most important interest. If
any one thing should influence toller
on the Dakota pralrics to vote against the
democratic party, it is this upholding and
approval of Sparks and his narrow un-
compromising neglect Of the greatest un =.
occupied territory in the United States
and from which he is driving settlers and
capital every day. A vote for a demo
crat is u vote for Sparks-a vote for the
man who declares that ninety five per
cent of the settlers in Dakota are frauds.
If ninety-five per cent Of the votes are
recor led as p, otests against democratic
candidates, the administration w,ll no
tice that beyond doubt. This is the
election where every resident of Dakota
should give the democratic party the go
by and put iu vote for the territory
where they live, and for the party that
has dore all for. r.her that ever has been OF
ever will be done.

THE political situation in Foster cOun
ty has been matter OF dispute aud doubt
throughout the district, The Alert is glad
to be able to present the following state
ment Of one who is thoroughly acquaint-
cd with the citizens of this northern
neighbor.
Foster county is settled larg. ly by fam
lilies from the east who bring with them
decided political beliefs. or these peo.
pie at least three fourtbs are staunch re-
publicans who always have and always
vii support the Straight republican tick
ct. There are also many settlers from
Canada, who are acquainted with the
politics of the United States by reading,
put have never yet joined in a party
struggle, A large number of Germans
from German colony in Roumauia driv
en- from Europe by prosecutions, have
settled in the county and are among its
most industrious and thrifty people. Be-
sides those there are hundred or more
emigrants from Sweden but these people
of course know nothing ofAmer,can po-
htics.
The democrats, few in numbers, large
IN hope; in order to get the lions share of
county Offices induced the republicans to
make fusion on the county ticket. The
result has been that no nominations were
made and all candidates for local offices
have been running independent. The re-
suit of the mass meeting however held
last Thursday evening, was to draw the
party lines sharply and distinctly; the
democratic postmaster and few others OF
his like, with more zeal than judgement,
materially aided IN this work by openly
and extensively attacking tie republican
party and boastlug Of their own strength.
The republicans quietly determined to
accept the challenge They organized
their forces throughout the county and
are ready to show on rsxt Tuesday what
is the ratio Of democrats to republicans in
that part of north Dakota. The foreign
ers who have never heard the names of
our parties before, are diligently inquir-
ing their history and the meaning Of our
political watchwolds. There Is likelihood
that the democrats have oyershot the
mark and raised such feeling among
the republicans as will draw the party
lines even in the county ticket, on which

Political History in the School.

There is a vigorous movement in
the East to secure the teaching of
political history in the high schools
and academies, but it is a mouement
that would better he stodped before
it is begun. The insuperable obsta-
Gle in the way is the fact that our
political history covers so short
period, nd'that the remotest of it
is so recent that there can be moth
ing like a common agreement as to
what it is. There is not a single
character in our National record
concerning whom the parent of the
children, in any one school hold any
thing like a common opinion. The
name of ashington will at once oc-
cur to many as an exception, and it
certainly comes nearest to that, but
does not quite attain to it. Wash
ington was much more monarchical
in his views than many of the ablest
men Of his time, and there are abun-
dant readers who dcnounce him for
it. You shall find plenty to attack
his craftsmanship, and his general
ship, and to accuse him Of little
meannesses, smuggling for his pri-
vate use included.
And how should we reconcile the
conflicting views of the especial ad-
mirers of such opposing characters
as Hamilton and Jefferson, Calhoun
and Webster, Douglas and Lincoln.
Was Conkling right or was Blaine,
or were both wrong2 Was the. legal
tender issue good thing, and is
war-taxation in time ofpeace bless
ing to labor? Was Johnson right or
wrong in his fight with the Senate;
and is Mr.. Halstead's view of Lin
coins emancipation proclamation
the correct one? Was General Grant
stupid drunkard and General Sher-
man. crazy; and was Hayes right or
wrong in his veto of the Silver bill?
Was the Electoral Commission a
square DEAL" or was Tilden de-
frauded of the Presidency; and is
James G. Blaine a great and pure
Statesman or railroad jobber?
These are but a tithe of the ques-
tions that would lead to pandemon-
ium in ourNsehools if their determi-
nation were ever attempted by po-
litical history to be there taught;
and yet it would be mere mockery
of history if it did not consider and
decide upon them. In short, the
scheme is wholly impracticable.
American children must go on, in
the future as in the past, getting
their views of political history from
their fathers, subject to addition and
Irevision through the study and ex-
perience of after life.-Cincinnati
Enquirer
