THE Galveston News of yesterday
has batch of dispatches from Wash
ington concerning the official appoint
ments for Texas and with its usual
good luck, having missed it every
time since it started in as a prognos-
ticator, proceeds to hit it again in the
same place. Its yesterdays dis
patches stated that Col. George
Knight had few friends that want
ed the marshalship of the north
Texas district to fall into his
hands, but they are in the
minority, and so dismisses the mat
ter. This mornings dispatche s
bring news of his appointment. A
special who cannot make a closer
guess than that after the experience
that the Galveston agent at Wash.
ington has had, is not much of a
prophet.

The same Wonderful Nan

WASHINGTON, D. c., January g.
Mr.. Blaine's presence in the city has kept
the politicians in a ferment. He couldn't
nod to an old acquaintance without some
one seeing a bidder political significance in
the nod, and the social calls he made during
the afternoon and evening were ali twisted
into events of great Importance. Though
away from his hotel q part of the day, Mr..
Blaine saw number OF his old friends who
called to pay their respects. With these
politics was tabOOed. Said one gentleman:
- had a delightful chat and EY6s delighted
to find Blaine the same wonderful man he
has always been. But there was not ore
word said about politics. past, present or
prospective"
A local paper had put a statement into
Mr.. Blaine's mouth to the effect that he was
going to Indianapolis soon. It was easily
learned that no such statement was made
by him. 1t was q pure fabrication. The
Star, IN speaking of the political side of his
visit, says:
Whatever pressure may be brought to
bear on General Harrison TO make him sec
rotary of state, it will not be through a visit
of the PIumed Knight to indianapolis, nor
will Mr.. Blaine appear to take any part IN
1t. His friends are visiting him every hour.
1t is not at all unlikely that those who are
close enough to him to warrant such a thing
speak with him upon the aL-abEOrbing
question. One thing 1t is not violent as
sumption to say Is that all of Mr.. Blaine's
friends, not excepting those who are closest
to him, feel that the state folio must be Of
fered to him, and a failure of this will not
tend to harmony II the party. They con-
slider that the opposition to him does not
come from such men as should be inhuen-
tiaI IN the republican party, especially as
against man who, they believe, finds a
warm place in the hearts Of 4ine-tenths Of
the party.

FARGO, D. T., January "a letter from.
Rev c. ". Riches, of Park River, ID. T.,
conveys the first authentic information Of
extreme suffering and privation among the
Norwegian settlers in Western Walsh county.
Men with relief report that they found
about seventy families in about as destitute
circumstances as it Is possible for human.
beings to be and still exist. Many were
found with barely enough clothing to cover.
their nakedness, and that of the thinnest
material. shoes were almost unknown.
These farmers have lived on their little CAPT
tai until nothing remained. Most of them
have been living on a kind of porridge made
by cooking frozen green wheat and oats,
stuff not fit 60 feed a hog. One family had
not seen any flour for six weeks. Nearly
all Were out of flour. The people have been
dividing with each other their potatoes until
low they are gone too.

Richfield Leader-DemOerat: In Clark
and Harper counties last year the farm
ers adopted a new plan In planting corn.
They used corn and cane tOgebher-fOr
every row OF cane planted they put In
two rows Of corn, so that for five rows Of
cane there were ten rows Of corn. This
proved a great success, the corn pro-
duced from thirty to forty bushels to the
acre. On fields adjoining, which had
been planted in the old style, the hot
winds EcOrched and shriveled the stock,
while that in the fields on the new plan
was perceptibly not affected by hot
winds and the people there are highly
gratihed over their success in placing a
barrier before the only real drawback to
the raising Of crops In the southwest.
