One of the relief bills introduced into the

One of the relief bills introduced into the
Senate on the 9th inst, that in recognition
of the exceedingly valuable work of the
late John Roach, illustrated i'm q striking
way the unjust and partisan policy of the
navy department under the administration
of Secretary Whitney. 1t was bill in
troduced by Senator William E.. Chandler,
of New Hampshire, providing for the pay
ment of $4,000 to the assignees of the
late John Roach to satisfy in full their
claims for work on the Dolphin, so pre-
emptorily disallOwed by Secretary Whitney.
In view of the recent satisfactory perform
ances of the dispatch boat it will, no doubt,
be easy for Mr.. Roachs heirs to obtain the
compensation so justly due them In this
connection the following letter from Secre-
tary Blaine to John b. Roach, son of the
late John Roach in answer to an invitation
to attend the launching of the new steam
ship recently built by him for the South
American trade will be of much interest:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25, 1889.
John B. Roach, Esq:
DEAR SIR thank you for your urgent
invitation to visit Chester tomorrow to
witness the launching of a steamship des-
tined for the trade between the United
States and South America. / regret sim
cerely that official duties will not permit me
to leave Washington at this time.
1t Is ten years since l visited Chester on
the invitation of your father, to witness the
launching of the first ship he built for the
same commercial field. Despite the official
malignity (as causeless as it was crueD
which saddened and embittered his last
days, his name will always be honorably
associated with the best efforts to restore
prestige to the American flag In all the
channels of commerce. Very sincerely,
JAMES G.. BLAINE.
And in this connection it is not too much
TO say that the use of the authority of the
navy department to break down the rapidly
growing ship building business Of John
Roach was one of the most shameful abuses
recorded in the history of the United States,
and 1t was peculiarly like the great secretary
TO take fortunate opportunity to say SO in
fearless and unmistakable words.

Wet and Dry Periods.

Yankton Press and Dakotan: s'The
grateful information comes from
scientific sources, and is corroborated by
the testimony Of old and observant Dakota
settlers, that the dry period in the north
west ends this year. Jacob Brauch Of
Yankton, who has lived in Dakota since
1858, says these periods occur every nine
years, beginning with extremely wet sea-
sons, such as those Of last year, Of 1872 and
Of 1881, each followed by a succession Of
years in which the rainfall gradually de-
creased. This being the ninth year Of the
last period, It is reasonable to expect in
creased moisture in 1890 and the reports Of
close students Of meteorological conditions
80 to assure this. Il will be recalled by the
present inhabitants Of this section that
there has been q gradual lessening Of rain
fall each year since 1881, eliminating this
year, which at its worst cannot prevent
from p half to q two thirds crop. Taxing
these precedents into account, therefore it
will be seen that the farmers of South Da-
kOta have little reason to be discouraged.
Z They have experienced the most unfavOr-
able conditions which are liable to sur
round them fora decade longer, and dur:
ing the past ten years have not known
what might be called q total failure of
crops. In fact, the partial shortage of the
past two or three years would not have
been appreciably felt in any but new
country with its natural lack of accum-
mulated resources

Booker the Right Man.
A Pembina dispatch to the Minneapolis
Journal says: ain nominating L. E. Booker
for state treasurer for the new state Of
North Dakota, the convention at Fargo
did more for the success Of the republican
ticket in Pembina county, than it could
have done in any other way. Both this
and Walsh county, would either have de.
feated it or gone heavily democratic. But
they are now counted republican. Mr..
Booker is one of the pioneers of the Red
River valley, but belongs to the young. re-
publican element, is very popular, and is
the only man that could have been put on
the ticket who would be able to heal the
dissensi0n in these counties, caused by the
capital being located at Bismarck. Mr..
Booker is presid mt of the First National
bank of Pembina,is is we'll acquainted with
the finances Of the territory, and there is
no man in the Red River valley who can
bring more practical knowledge and ex-
perience to the position"
