THE SHRiEv4LTY.

Last Saturday the Republicans
Of Becker county held their con.
vention and re-nominated the old
ticket excepting that Of county
attorney.
There seems to be no opposition
to any Of the present incumbents
excepting to Mr.. Norcross, the
nominee for and present Sheriff.
Mr.. John H. Smith Of Detroit, has
entered the field as an independ.
ent candidate against him.
The relation that must necessa.
rily exist between a Sheriff and
the public makes it important that
the person who fills the Office
should be a man who is fair and
liberal in his views and impartial
in his estimates OF individuals I'M
meterial Of race or color. We
have reasons to believe that Mr..
Norcross lacks that impartial lib
erality which should guide and
mark public officer; this on ma
ny occasions has manifested itself
during the past two years. In ad-
dition to this his actions have been
inconsistent with the position
which he has assumed against
some Of those whose support he is
now soliciting.
Last March complaints were
made to the Department Of Justice
at Washington that There was
much indifference manifested to
the sale Of liquor to Indians at
Detroit by those having the mat.
ter in charge" Special Agent Mar
chant and U. S. Marshal Campbell
were instructed to investigate the
matter. They came to this agency
and proceeded to take evidence,
both here and at Detroit, all of
which pointed strongly to Mr..
Norcross as being the instigator
of the reports. On his return to
Detroit, Agent Marchant called
on Mr.. Norcross who at first en-
deavored to give evasive answers
but finally admitted that ''it was
a well known fact that the White
Earth Indians could get all the
whiskey they wanted at Detroit,
and Dept. U. s. Marshal Gus H.
Beaulieu paid no attention to the
matter And this statement was
concluded by the remark that he
wished all the Indians were dead
and the half breeds first The
inconsistency Of Mr.. Norcross's S
actions are in the fact that he
assumes to be friendly Ito sa-
loon keepers in Detroit and ! yet
took actions against them last
March, for he gave the names Of
some Of those who, he said, had
sold whiskey to Indians. We are
not defending the sale Of whiskey
to Indians, and if we believed that
Mr.. Norcross really intended to
secure d strict maintenance Of law
in this respect we would earnestly
support him, but we, at that time,
doubted the sincerity Of his &C.
tion, and still believe that he had
ulterior motives.
He is also credited with making
statements derogatory to the In
telligence Of our scadinavian
neighbors. If this be true we
would ask them whether they in
tend supporting man who looks
upon them with contemptg With
out the votes Of the people against
whom he has made such disdainful

Work NJ the License Court.

The Philadelphia license court has fin
ished its work among the retail liquor
dealers. Where there are now 5,7s9
licensed houses under the old law, there
will be after June 1st, 1857 places
for the retail sale of liquor. 1t
is almost remarkable showing as the
result Of the work for several
weeks Of the four judges who composed
the license court. There were Q, 400 petit
tions for license, l,257 Of which were
granted, 2,ols refused and 1S6 with.
drawn.
1t will be seen that the high license Law
has had the effect Of reducing the mum.
Der of applicants almost fifty per cent.
and of those who applied only about one
third were successful. Philadelphia hal
been for many years noted for its laxit,
| In liquor licenses, and 1t may be that The
judicial severity was increased by thi'
consideration. But whether the licens'
court exercised its functions with discre
tion or not, the supreme court says ther'
is no appeal from its decision.

A Diamond Ring.

The solitaire diamond ring worn by
Mrs. VIM. X. Vanderbilt cost $4,000.
Its value in government three per cent.
bonds would yield enough to keep four
men at work 800 days Of each year at
el.0 o day delivering black diamonds
from Pennsylvania coal mines to the
poor Of New York, withnu. charge for
hauling. Plenty Of coal dealers would
be willing to pay small percentage OF
the profits in this business, to Mrs. Van
derbilt, and she might in little time
own her own wagons, employ more men
and increase the scope of her operations,
doing good and making a little all the
while. An honest philanthropist might
be found to busy himself in placing cheap
coai where it was most needed, for
these human diamonds are not so rare as
TIE world imagines, or, better, she might
oee to this in person and she would not
only make the coal business hum, but do
much good in the slums of q otham. The
dealers would not complain much at re-
lief from a troublesome quarter and half
ton business, and in time this scheme
might be arranged to meet the large
numbers of poor who buy by the bucket
full at high retail prices. More coal
would be used at the cheaper rates, and
the miner and shipper would not suffer,
while the recording angel would note the
progress of very rich woman through
the eye of the needle.
But $4,000 is only about one one
thousapdth part of the property owned by
Mrs. Vanderbilt, and if we criticise her
investment in jewels of so small portion
OF her property, we must in justice find as
much fault with every unproductive aud
vain investment Of our own that ap-
pr0aches an equal proportion of our
wealth. A man with ten thousand dollars
may not invest ten dollars in ostentatious
and useless display, without being quite
- worthy Of criticism as the diamond
owner for, after all, these jewels are a
6aSe and portable form of investment,
and may be very profitable to jud -ss Of
them who know their real value. People
who comment on the apparent ex!rava-
gance of the rich should reflect q little
on the relative proportions Of things, and
remember that art with its elevating and
refining influences, owes its support most
largely to the apparently foolish extrava-
gances of wealthy patrons. To pay $50 900
Tor Meissonier may be an act ofextrava.
CANT folly in itself, but it no doubt stim-
nlates many hundred artists to more vig-
Orous exertions in the hope of winning
the fame and rewards Of the great in art

THE DUNK ARD CONFERENpE.

A Grss: Gathering at tho Yearly Meeting
IN North Manchester. Ind,
On Monday the attendance at the Dunk
ard conference at North Manche ester, ind
WAS largely increased, trains loaded with
the brethren coming in all day. The ser
mon in the morning was delivered by Rev
John NJ, Mohler, of Lewistown, Pa and
was an eloquent effort Preced ing this

Parrett, OF North Manchester, who wei.

speaker referred with pride to the growth
OF the little band who In l7l9 were driven
from Germany and sought refuge In the
land OF free America, and who now boasted
OF q membership OF $4,000.
The afternoon session opened at 80 wi b
an address by Elder Oliver Yount, of Tip
pecanoe, Ohio. He delivered a sermon
from the text, "Not every one that saith
unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom OF heaven, but he that doeth the
will OF my Father which 10 in heaven"
The elder referred to the happiness re-
sulting from perfect obedience of the
Divine will, and instituted a contrast be.
tween the condition of the faithful followe
OF the Savior and that OF the sinner. Nu-
merous Biblical incidents were cited to en-
phasize the arguments, and throuRhou the
discourse was listened to with intense in

THE coroner has been trying to find out
how the people Of New York may be pro-
tected from the sudden death that recently
overlook Lineman Murray, OF the Brush
Illuminating company. He examined the
superintendent OF the company and DR.. o.
A. Moses, M expert, and chairman OF the
National Electric Light company, bu,
neither of them would admit that the
light companies could do anything
to diminish the dangers OF electric
lighting. They claimed that 1t IL
as yet impossible TO place the ligh
wires entirely under the streets be
cause insulation will not live under
ground. They had to admit, howsvor, that
the Edison company had no trouble with
Its underground wires. The dangerin New
York at present seems TO come from the
great numoer Of abandoned telegraph wires
which break and fall against the electric
wires, making death traps for passers,by
DR.. Moses, when asked what ad Vice he could
give In regard to means Of escaping thu
dangers OF the electric wire replied 81

BIa,ue HIS Own Burchard.

with the exception of Judge Gresham's
boomlet and little noise over Alger and
Depew, there is very little going on in
~ Republican camp at present. This
calm is due to the anxiety Of the candi-
dates to see how the tariff cat will jump
and uncertainty as to the real plans of
Mr.. Blaine. Instead Of plain yes
Of no from this gentleman, we
are treated to masterpieces Of circum-
locution containing nothing more definite
than o vague prophecy that his
= name will not be presented" or posi-
Tive and firm declaration that he has
nothing to add to what he has already
aid or written. Meanwhile his right
hand men in New York, who have not
booms Of their own, are vocifer0usly pro.
claiming that they are " fur him." Ii
looks very much as though Mr.. Blaine
Was scheming to have the presidential
nomination thrust upon him against his
will and with a tempest Of unanimous
enthusiasm which he could not prop
erly disregard. 1t is a dangerous
game to play with an intelligent
people who most Of all admire
straightforward and frank speech, and
there IL much force in the remark OF
the Philadelphia Ledger, that nothing
to add TO-" and nothing to subtract
from," are costly compared tc
yea or "no," in plain English, and
that " Mr.. Blaine may be his own Bur
chard after all, this time" 1t is yer,
well for the Office to seek the man wheI
that man Is not famous and unsuccess
ful seeker of the Office, but for one who
has fought 80 hard and long, this afIecta
tion Of coyness is unbecOming.

Keeping Going.

Prentice Mulford, a brilliant and witty
writer for the New York Star, adds this
philosophy to an amusing account of his
experiences in Paris with a supply of
French +" What's the use then of learn
ing French-of learning new games,
plays, diversions, arts This to keep
young, fresh, vigorous in mind. You
keep 30 in mind and your body will fol-
low suit" This is a thought that is not
20 well accepted in this country as it is
abroad. Travellers who live among the
people In any of tie progressive parts of
Europe, express surprise at the activity
and industry of very old people ia learn
ing things tina: can never be Of what we
would call practical use to them. Old
ladies with grey hair study foreign
language with all the zeal and interest of
an American school girl at work with
French OF German. You ask them
whether they ever expect to visit the
country whose language they are working
20 hard 10 master, and they reply
certainly not, with surprise az the ques-
ti0n. Old men have the same fever vi
industry in undertaking new things that
can be Of no earthly use to them, though
they mora often have hobbies that
absorb their time and thought, and the
most striking examples OF this strange
enterprise are given by the women, study
lng languages that they have no use for.
Ferhaps this Is because We naturally look
upon Language as something to be ac-
euired only In early youth, and there is
something grotesque in the idea of learn
