CRoCKETT's CENTENNIAL.

DAVID CROCKETT would have been
1O3 years old, had he lived to Saturday
last. His admirers in Tennessee cele
brated his birthday On the Nolachucky,
the stream where the first permanent
settlement was made in the West. No
name of that early period has came
down with more fascination to the
youthful mind. His life was a picture
of frontier civilization and romance and
his coon will live longer than any of the
victims of modern Understanding elixir.
He would not stand for a modern states
man from even the widest territory,
but there have been others in congress
who are forgotten already. "Be sure
you're right and then go ahead" is
worth more than many an oratorical
sermon. He left a record of moral as
well as physical courage. Even ANDREW
JACKSON could not Swerve him from
his convictions. He died at the Alamo,
heroically fighting for Texan independ-

Never before has the outlook for a
Democratic victory at the next state
election looked so bright as at present.
1t is true that we suffered a severe de-
feat last pear, but that can be laid to a
series of circumstances. The leaders of
the Democratic party to-day are young
men, whom it will take more than one
defeat to discourage. The Republican
party has broken nearly every VOW, or
at least not fulfilled its numerous prom
ises made before northumberland En-
terpriSe.
The scheme is simple in design and
sure in operation. Mr.. Davis makes a
recommendation to office. Mr.. Wash
burn makes a different one, OF makes a
protest against Davis nominee. The
president will give it to neither, and
turns to the cabinet officer from, for
merly of, Minnesota, and he selects a
friend of himself and of WaShburn,
whom Washburn knows enough not to
recommend, since then the president
could not, according to his declaration,
appoint him. and such selection is ap-
pointed. This has been done in some
instances already, as everybody knows.

statements attributed to "Jake" Austin,

/ have no objection to Mr.. Austin en-
larging on the growth and thrift of
Fergus, with its vacant building and

representation of facts regarding his

That the Manitoba ''shops never did
GAINESVILLE any good" is a prevarica-
ton worthy of a far Western real estate
boomer only. The Manitoba's improve
ments here have built the town up to
five times its former size, with good
schools and churches, and made it one
of the best points on the road for bust
ness. That the railroad employees
are not putting any money IN
to the town is utterly false.
The greater portion of the best resi-
dence property is owned by railroad
employees. The last statement, though
not most false, is the meanest. The

NORTH DAKOTA OFFICES.

The Republican convention of North
Dakota meets at Fargo Wednesday, and
the indications point to the success of
the combination that has arranged mat
tiers for the people in the disposition of
the offices and location of the institu-
tions. The party bugle will be sounded
long and loud, and the danger portrayed
of allowing the bad Democrats to nave
any voice. Possibly no specific indorse-
ment Of the capital deal will be deemed
advisable, but the action of the consti-
tutional convention will be approved,
and the adoption of its work urged. The
men who did not 'go for their health"
are in the wire box and will run the
machine. They are not painfully mod
est, although they do not always show
their hands. The Democrats will come
in a little later. and, if they a keep
from all ent~anglements, should have an
opportunity worth improving.

HELPING THE PRINCE.
An Anonymous Letter Containing
100000 for Wales.

LONDON, Aug. 19.-lf the queen and
her royal offspring have been very
much put out over the shameful way in
which the Radicals opposed their modest
request for more money, the Prince of
Wales at least has something with
which to soothe his lacerated feelings
as a direct outcome of the agitation in
stituted by the Radical members of
parliament and their supporters. The
prince has received an anonymous let
ter in which the writer deploreS the in
considerable conduct of the disloyal
Radicals, sympathizes with his royal
highness in the unpleasant position in
which their agitation placed him, and
last, but by no NEAR least, he gives a
proof of the sincerity of his sympathy
by enclosing ten crisp Dew Bank OF
England notes, each of the denomina-
ton of a thousand pounds. No nam is
signed to the communication, and the
writer has been at such pains to avoid
leaving any clue to his identity that no
one is prepared even to guess who he
can be. The prince himself has no Sus-
piciOn of any one, but, In any event, it
is not likely that the police will be
asked to interfere to drag this modest
specimen of British loyalty from his
anonymous retreat.

THE E

You've a neat little wife at home, John
As sweet as you wish to see;
AS faithful and gentle-hearted,
AS fond as wife can be;
4 genuine, home-loving woman
Not caring for fuss or show;
She's dearer to you than life, John;
Then kiss her and tell her so.
Your dinners are promptly served, John,
AS likewise your breakfast and tea;
Your wardrobe is always III order.
With buttons where buttons should be.
Her house is a coy home nest, John,
A heaven of rest below:
You think she's q rare little treasure;
Then kiss her, and tell her SO.
She's a good wife and true to you, John,
Let fortune be foul or fair;
Of Whatevpr comes to you, John,
She cheerfully bears her share,
You feel she's a brave, true helper,
And perhaps far more than you know,
twill tighten her end of the load, john.
Just to kiss her and tell her so.
There's a crossroad somewhere in life, John,
Where a hand on a guiding stone
Will signal one lover the rIver,'
And the other must go on alone.
Should she meet that last milestone first,
John,
Twill be comfort amid your woe
TO know that while loving her here, John,
You kissed her and told her so.

SYMPATHY AND CONFIDENCE.
Frenchmen in London Stand by
Boulanger.

LONDON. Aug. 18.-Five hundred
French residents of London visited
Gen. Boulanger in a body to-day and
presented him with an address of SYM
pathy and confidence. The general, in
a speech, said that he had never used
money belonging to France, except
when trying to secure her against
enemies. If he had been cited by a
regularly. constituted court of assizes
he and his colleagues would have taken
the first boat for France to face a trial.
The French government did not dare to
avail themselves of the ordinary courts,
but formed a special tribunal, composed
of his political enemies, which had
virtually condemned him before it met.
In conclusion he said he only asked
good faith from the French people. and
the triumph of the present rulers would
sOon be a thing of the past.

duties 100 years hence. The exact
figures are 1854.
According to Mr.. LOOMS, the ratio of
increase of population by births over
deaths, although much less than it vas
a century since, is at present 2.0l per
cent per annum, or 20.l each ten years:
Accepting, for convenience, the ratio of
decenniaI increase as 90 per cent, and
casting aside all accretion from immi-
grafton, we find that in the year 1890
our total population will be more than
Co. DOC, 900.
Whether these figures are accepted as
reasonably trustworthy or rejected as
gross exaggeration, the factstill remains
that the natural and inevitable increase
of the population, not alone of our own
country, but of the whole world, pre-
sents a problem that may well engage
the thoughtful mind.
