THE ELECTION,

JorFested Returns of the Popular
Vote for President at the
Late election.
The returns of all the states are now
either official or sufficiently well known
to permit an announcement of totals in
the popular vote tor president of the
United States. The whole vote appears
to be IL ,266 $3.50 and Cleveland's plural
ity over Harrison 18l,040. This plu-
rality is largely due to Texas, whose
corrected vote gives him 1853 1862. Here
tofore Texas has been accredited with
"135, 900 majority for Cleveland, (which
is in fact true; but accounting for
23, 1873 votes for Streeter and 4,416 for
Fisk permits Cleveland's "plurality" in
Texas 10 be placed at its true figure
And with all this the Texas Official
count is reported to have been closed
on the day required by law-with
several counties not heard from.
1t must be understood that discrep.
ancies will inevitably appear in any
present comparison of newspaper re-
turns. From some states it Is the
"average" that has been reported from
others the "highest" on each ticket !;
from others the "heads" of tickets.
This will be misleading, but is of only
temporary Importance. Ii is the custom
of the political almanac-m makers to
strictly adhere to the "head of the
ticket" i. e., the first one of the two

ROAD WORKING WITH C0NVIOTS.
From the Upton Times.
There has perhaps never been such
| wide spread interest felt throughout
this state in the subject of immigration
as there exists to day. Various organ
izations have been effected for the pur-
pose of presenting the advantages of
our grand old state to the home seekers
and investment seekers of the older
states, and money and labor are spent,
to this end. All this work is highly
commendable, and will doubtless bring
good results. But where it will bring
one man to make his home here and
help develop our resources the same
labor and the same effort ought 10
bring score, and that, too, OF kind
that would be of the greatest advan-
tagc to the state-men with capital.
What, may be asked is, the obstacle7
In our judgment nothing so much as

roads. What is the remedy2 Employ

piece of cane peeling and each taking
turns licking it, you may infer that
their fate is sealed, or ought to be. -

In Central ami Northern Dakota
crops of all kinds the past year have
turned off a surprisingly large yield
even for that productive country.
Hundreds of instances can be cited
where the years crop of wheat will
pay for dwelling, barn, teams, farming
utensils, and still leave comfortable
little stake for future needs. All of the
best titled farms have made a gross re-
turn of twenty-one dollars per acre 1t
is the general rule that the cost of rails
ing crop in Dakota is eight dollars
per acre. This leaves a net revenue of
thirteen dollars per acre on five dollar
land, or two hundred and sixty per
cent profit.
