Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-03-08

PRESIDENT WARDEL1 of the Farmers
Alliance writes to the Dakota Ruralist,
that Bismarck is full of lobbyists, and
in excusing his own presence says
But how about the farmers, you ask,
whose interests are greater and needs
more urgent than all the rest put together.
Have they a lobby? Have they hundreds
and thousands and tens of thousands of
men, with brazen faces and persistent
tongues, urging their wants, as they would
have if represented. as numerously in pro-
portion, as the other vocations. Alas!
They haven't one, unless, perchance, l
might count as part Of one; and it needs a
good deal Of caution on my part, for our
people are very sensitive about a farmer
lobbying, though it seems the natural
thing for the other folks.

THE MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
During that summer the writer had occa-

to his boarding place several blocks distant.
The din and roar of the busy city had ceased,
and solemn stiffness reigned save for the
roar OF the river as it fell IN white sheet
over the dam at the south end of the town.
The doctor had just placed his fingers up

Before he could 90 TO the door II was
pushed open and Lura Joyce stood before

caused the good doctor TO utter a surprised

Lucy was pretty thoroughly frightened,

soon satisfied the maid that all was as 1t

When the wounded girl asked after her

Captain Mason leveled his gun TO shoot the

Luke and Blackhawk reached the steamer

Grant on shore. Luke told the captain, who

the horse, taking in the situation, put his

bank and trotted aboard, and the General

CHAPTER VII.
A BRIEF TRIUMPH.

A black night the dark waters, the tall
smoke stacks from which sparks occasion
ally rolled in showers, all tended to give an
enthusiastically TO the scene. The awe-in.
spring silence of those thousands OF blue
coats was intensified by an occasional
whisper.
One by one the lights of Cairo went out
like the bright hopes of life, and Luke
stood gazing upon the silent Statue-like
forms of the soldiers, who were sitting in
rows upon the deck. Growing tired of re.
naming in one place, he went to the bow.
Here stood a solitary man, with the Shout
der-straps of a General, his arms folded
across his breast, his eyes fixed on the
river. 1t was so dark that his features
were hardly recognizable, and he did not
know him until he turned and said:

eral Grant.
"Yes, General; / came for that busi-
ness"
The General again relapsed into silence,
and stood gazing down into that impenetra-
BILE darkness into which the boat was plung-
ing
Luke would have very much liked to ask
General Grant someGauestions. but that
strange, silent man, 7sading an army to
battle, was not easily approached. Hestood

Corn is tropical plant, being
most probably indigenous to Central
America, from which part of the world
it may have been carried by ocean cur
rents to the coasts of Asia. where it
was cultivated in the sixteenth century.
But there was ample time for the seed
to have been carried from this hemis-
phere to the eastern part of the world
after its discovery by Columbus. and
the fact that maize was grown in Asia
in the latter part OF the sixteenth
century can not prove that it was in
digenous there.
