Dakota Editors Complaint.


Eve greatly dislike to find fault with
any of the customs Of our beautiful little
city," says Dakota editor, 'sbut we must
nevertheless insist that people keep their
swine out from under the office of this

Territorial Institutions for our paper

gan scratching It's back or the beams

For Agricultural Industries.

As John Stuart Mill phrased it:
Owe need schools where the young
should learn not only to Use their
hands, but their minds for the guild
anCc OF their hands and be made to
apprehend with their intellects what
constitutes the right way of perform
ing industrial operations, and the
wrong" Some Of the most entertain
ing AMI interesting conversations in
our experience have been in the field
with wide awake and intelligent far
merS. Some how the conversations
were kcenly interesting because we felt
we were dlscoursins upon the why and
wherefore of doings which were emit
tied to superlative dignity, because the

tons in the social fabric. There is 4
charm, 4 field for profound thought,
q laboratory for close observation and

the exhiliarating development Of all
the physical and mental powers Of
man in practical agriculture that is
not appreciated in these days. We
need more industrial education in all
directions, but 70 where SO much as
among the tillers of the soil. Many
of the boys of to-day regard manual
labor as drudgery and rush to the
cities to crowd already over crowded
professions. More of this aversion to
manual labor in some quarters is due,
no doubt, to the unattractive way the
subject has been taught than to any

thing intrinsically repulsive in the
labor of the fields. Not only to this,
but also to the fact, that the subject Of
practical agriculture has in our State
really little or Nd place in our schools,
nor never has had. This is true. not
withstanding a great majority of our
people are farmers and most of our
capital invested in agriculture. Il
behooves us as a people, looking to
our highest practical interests, to work
a revolution in this regard. Our fields
need the tllage of strong hands guided
by trained minds. How to do this
most rapidly and thoroughly is sub
ject worthy Of the study Of every lover
of his State. The advantages are too
manifold and multform for elabora-
ton in these columns. The highest
mental and moral as we'll as physical
development of our population await
its contamination. The unwarying re-
suit of statistical Investigations to
ascertain whence the brains, character
and Drawn comes, to constitute the
mightiest factor for good in the social
fabric, demonstrates that the arena Of
development IS in the rural districts.
Let us-try to make our fields more
attractive, and manual labor less an
apparent drudgery and ban, and hold
our educated young men on the
farms where their fathers lived so long
in content, and it will not be long be-
fore attractive homes, and fertile
fields will greet the vision Of The
traveller over this grandly favored
section, and North Carolina will real
ize a material, mental and moral
prosperity she has never enjoyed in
her history.

Together.

Life Boats.
Five Minutes After Being
Struck the Geiser Went
Down.
The Survivors Brought to
New York by the Steamer
WieIand.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The steamer
Wieland, of the Hamburg-American
steamship line, has just brought news
of a collision off Sable island between
the Geiser and the Thingvalla. of the
Thingvalla line, which occurred at 4
O'Clock on the morning of Aug. IA. The
Geiser sank in five minutes after the
collision, and of her passengers and
crew
ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE WE'RE
DROWNED.
The ThingvaIla was so disabled that
she had to put into Halifax after trans
ferring all her passengers to the Vie
land. The Geiser had eighty-six pas
sengers aboard, seventy-two of whom
were drowned or killed in the collision,
and fourteen were taken first to the
Thingvalla and then on the Wieland.
The GeiSer's crew numbered fifty-twO;
seventeen were saved and thirty-three
were drowned.
CAPT. MOLLER, OF THE GEISER,
was among those saved. The passen-
gers of the Thingvalla transferred to
the Wieland numbered 455. The Geiser
left this port Aug. IL, bound for Stettin.
The Thingvalla was on her way to this
city, and was advertised to leave here
Aug. 25. A very heavy sea and dense
fog were experienced through the
night and early morning of Aug Is. 1t
is said an object could not be distin-
guished fifty feet away by reason of the
fog. Stories differ as to
WHERE THE LIABILITY LIES,
if not wholly due to the fog and heavy
sea; but the Thingvalla struck the
Geiser on the starboard side amidships,
close on to o'clock in the morning.
The boats then parted, and within five
minutes the Geiser sank. The crew of
the Thingvalla did all they could to
soae the Geiser's crew and passengers
while still in doubt as to whether the
Thingvalla was not dangerously dis
abled; but owing to the heavy sea,
ONLY THIRTY-oNE WE'RE SAVED.
No other vessel was near at the
time. The Wieland, Oh her way to this
port, was 100 miles away. At II 80
O'Clock on the morning of the 14th, the
Wieland was sighted. Signs of distress
were made by the Thingvalla, and a
transfer of the passengers began. The
SEA WAS THEN VERY HEAVY,
but no mishaps occurred in the transfer
of passengers.

Mr.. Bonnewell insisted on Mr.. Lud-
wig allowing the use of his name.
Senator Kellar said that all were
Americans and there was no such thing
as lrishmen, Germans or Scandinavians
on an occasion like this He nominated
John Ludwig, of Winona. "Albert
Scheffer," he said, ''is gentleman,
but the Democracy cannot afford
to father him. 1t would strengthen the
ticket to put 25O-pound man on it.
Lienau warned the convention not to be
led astray by clown. Keller retOrted
that Lienau was a crank, who always
wanted to fight. Mr.. Murray said the
convention had probably reached the
rock upon which they would split. The
Germans have said that they wanted
the Office of secretary of state. 1t would
not do to load down the ticket with Ger
mans.
A delegate from the southern part of
the state said that Ludwig would
add no strength to the ticket.
MIR. Jones in behalf of harmony asked
that Mr.. Buck withdraw his declination.
The chairman Thought that Mr.. Buck

said Mr.. Castle, of Saltwater, that
Democrats have no right to do. He
should allow himself to be drafted into

mans. Loud cries of Question"
The question of Mr.. Bucks nomina-
ton was put to the convention and
unanimously carried amid the most en-
thusiastic cheers. Messrs. Ludwig,

not good policy to put two
Germans together. 1t would be well to
put Scandinavian between them. Mr..
PAIL, of Brown, heartily seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Bradenhagen, and
alluded, sarcastically, to Mr.. Keller's
consistency. Mr.. Bradenhagen was
then nominated as candidate for secre-
tary of state. The nomination of a can
didate for the office of state treasurer
being in order. a Wabasha delegate
placed in nomination A. J. Fowler, of
Wabasha. Mr.. Jones of Olmsted, sec
0nded the nomination of Mr.. Fowler.
Senator Castle asked the gentleman of
Wabasha to withhold his motion for
a moment in order to give
the delegates all opportunity of consult
ing on the question of the nomination
before the house. Mr.. Fowler's name
was withdrawn. M. j. DAILY, of Otter
Tail, in ringing speech, nominated for
state treasurer, Hans Nelson, of Fergus
Falls: He said he was a representative
Scandinavian. Polk county seconded
the nomination. as did also Norman
county. Seconds were given by Mr..
Murray, of Ramsey, and Mr.. johnson.
of Hennepin.
Senator Castle made brilliant ad-
dress, eulogizing the action of Knute
Nelson in congress. He moved that

tion. This was done with a ringing

FOR SUPREME JUSTICES.
The following resolution was offered
by G. G. Wilson, of Olmsted county:
"That the state central committee is
authorized to confer with representa-
tives of the Republican party, and 5if
practicable to select Two able parties
and conscientious jurists, one from each
party, as nominees for justices of the

it the proper thing that Ramsey should
move to make the nomination of Mr..
Wilson unanimous. To this all ac-
quiesced. excepting Mr.. Fuller. who op-
posed such a proceeding vociferously.
The result was that Judge Barrett be-

remark. Judge Barrett finally relented
and returned to his seat in the conven-

Chairman Lamberton got few hand
claps as he went to the platform at a
quarter to ten.
He slowly poured out glass of water,
drank at his leisure and then called the
convention to order.

He was willing that it should be

We insist upon thorough revision of

radically and permanently reduced;
that no more money shall be taken
from the people than is absolutely nee

ton of the legitimate affairs of the state;
that the superfluOuS offices shall be
abolished and necessary offices consoli-
same reduced and the efficiency in
creased; that appropriations shall be re-
stricted to objects of general public
benefit; that our railroad and warehouse
legislation shall be so framed as to
afford just facilities to our people for
the sale and transportation of their
products without unfair discrimination
in favor of individuals or localities A.:
that the rates of transportation of
freight and passengers on such roads be
reduced to the lowest point consis-
tent with a fair remuneration to the
railroads for the service rendered by
them; that the transfer of freight
from one road to another on reasonable
terms and the adjustment of rates, sc
that no more shall be charged for short
than for long haulS, shall be rigidlv en-.

TEN of the state shall be so regulated as
to discharge the duties of common car
riers without discrimination, upon rea-

all the people of the whole state; that
