Dawson County at watertown.


The Dawson county delegation at
Watertown was we'll up with the pro-
cession and left its impress all along
the line. Judge Edgerton on the reso-
luton committee is responsible for its
ringing utterances on division and ad-
mission, and on the attitude of the
democratic party toward Dakota; Mr..
Mentzer was a member of Gifford's
executive committee and worked tire
lessly early and late to bring order out
OF the chaos which confronted the
friends of South Dakota at the outset;
and he was ably seconded by Messrs.
Bowdle and Johnston than whom Mr..
Clifford had no warmer friends on the
ground; Mr.. Ward used his influence
to secure the right sort OF a temperance
plank, and his extensive acquaintance
through west central Dakota went
far to hold the Clifford forces there in
line as against the assaults of the op-
position; Dave Cole did not worry
enjoyed o the occasion casio TIC to od.eou the utmos ose
and stood by his delegation on every
proposition; while your humble ser
want had the honor Of being one of the
temporary secretaries and was further
complimented by the cut direct from
his excellency Gov. Mellette and his
queerness, Jud LaMoure, each of
whom seemed to have nursed some
grievance ever since the Jamestown
gathering. To show that they appreci-
ated an open, manly opponent, Mr..
Mathews friends still further remem-
bered Dawson county by placing our
Mr.. MentZer on the central committee.

WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
Harvesting Progressing Rapidly In the
Nortllwest---Damage by Frost Over


estimated.
WASHINGTON, Aug. %S.-The weather
crop bulletin reports the weather during
the past week especially favorable for
harvesting and farm work in the north
west. The wheat harvest progressed
rapidly in the central and northern
portions of Dakota and Minnesota, from
which region the reports indicate that
the damage to the wheat crop from the
frosts of last week was largely over
estimated. The reports indicate that
favorable harvest weather will continue
in that section during the early part of
the week. In the northern portions of
the corn belt the weather was favorable,
but the growth of the plant was retarded
BY the low temperature. Very light
frosts occurred in Michigan and North
ern Illinois on the 22d, probably causing
no injury to the crops. Reports from
Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina and South Carolina indicate
that the weather for the week has been
favorable to all crops. High winds and
heavy rains did considerable damage to-
growing crops in Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi. High winds also damaged corn
in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and New Jersey, but the
attending rains will doubtless improve
the crop. In the northern and western
portions OF New England the weather
was favorable for growing crops, but
some damage doubtless resulted from
high winds and heavy rains in the south
ern portions

HAMBURG, Aug. 29.-Fire started this
morning in steinwarde, the southern
part of this city, on the other side of the
river. The flames spread rapidly and
warehouses and other buildings for a
quarter of mile on the river side are on
fire. The shipping in the docks has
mostly pulled out, but several vessels
have been destroyed. 1t was at one time
feared the flames would cross the river
through the shipping and communicate
with the vessels in the docks here, in
which case the destruction of property
would be immense. But the hauling
out OF vessels in the Steinwarde docks
and light wind averted the danger.
The efforts Of the flremen are confined
to preventing the spread of flames to
houses on tho terrace above the riverside.
The loss of property on the docks and
among the shipping is immense.
Six persons have lost their lives in the
flames. The fire has destroyed seven
warehouses at Steinwarde, containing a
large amount of cotton, rice, sugar and
saltpetre. The loss is estimated at
seven million marks.

Course Defended.

LEWISTON, Me-, Aug. 2S-Mr. Blaine
spoke to vast assemblage. The sub
ject of his remarks was the action of
President Cleveland in the matter of the
fisheries treaty. In The course of his adj
dress Mr. Blaine said
81 did not happen to have an oppor-
tunity OF reading the full text of Presi-
dent Cleveland's message on the fisheries
subject until this morning, and with all
due respect to the chief executive of the
nation, must say that considering all
the circumstances it is the most extra
ordinary document that ever was sent
from the White House to the capitol. 1t
was our belief, and still is, that after the
articles OF the Treaty of Washington re-
lating to the fisheries had expired the
Canadian government behaved in an un-
neighborly, unseemly and unjust manner
towards our fishermen in refusing them
rights which they had enjoyed by long
prescription. In order to bring the gov
clhment OF the Dominion to a just appre-
ciation of the subject, congress author
lied the president in the spring of 1887
to adopt at his discretion a policy of suit
able retaliation. President Cleveland
declined to enforce the policy, and
allowed outrage after outrage upon our
fishing vessels to go unredressed. He
was bent upon some form of negotiation
with England even against the expressed
wish and will of the United States senate.
and in defiance of the large share in the
treaty making power the constitution
assigns to the senate. Finally, without
the consent of the senate and practically
against its protests, the president organ
lied commission to frame treaty that
should settle all points in dispute He
mus gave what never was intended by
the constitution, a partisan side to an in
teInational discussion. We have our
partisan differences at home, and settle
them on our own soil in our own way,
but towards all foreign powers on the
globe we should present one united in
dlY1sible American republic, but this was
not done. The treaty was launched as
Democratic partisan measure rather than
q patriotic American measure. Having
tor three years offered to waive the right
OF the fishermen and the national dignity
at the same time, the president desires
now to cross over to the other side of the
question and out-herod Herod in his de-
mands for redress''
Mr.. Blaine then compared the presi-
dents action with that of Andy johnson
i'll the matter of the Alabama claim, and
went on to say that in every treaty
which the Democratic party had ever
negotiated with England, England has
got the best of it.
