A. L. Sivyer, of Pierre, s. D., accom-
panied by A. Healy, of Bismarck, oame in
from the capital city Tuesday and went up
river Wednesday morning. Mr.. Sivyer's
visit to Mclean county, we understand,
was to examine her coal deposits and Che
feasibility of shipment south. It is re-
ported that company has been organized
at Pierre for tho purpose of opening up n
fow mines in this county and shipping tho
coal to points on the Missouri river in
South Dakota. Tho exact plan of opera
tion We arc unable to give as tho LEADEn
scribe failed to catch an interview with
the gentleman, but enough has been Cleaned
to warrant us in the belief that the work
ing of coal mines in Mclean county by
outside corporations will bo but matter
of few months. That there is q boom in
store for Mclean county we have no doubt,
and with good crops this year, and tho
propects of railroad in the spring, our
people may look for large influx of now
settlers next year-and return of many
old ones this fall.

A st. Louis dlspatch OF the l1th inst.
says that the Missouri state board of agri-
culture has just issued q report on the crop
prospects to date, and the report seems to
indicate that the harvest will be consider
ably below the average. With the general
ly prevailing clear and warm weather of
tho last two weeks, wheat ripened rapidly
and the harvesting has been pushed. BY
July 1st nearly the entire crop was in
the shock, and in the more southern por-
tions of tho state threshing is well under
way. Reports of yields per acre in bush
OILS are as yet too meagre to be able to
state definitely what the yield viii be.
Tho closer examination allowed by har-
vesting, however, reveals clearly that the
crop was, as rule, very thin on the ground
and badly mixed with cheat, but that il
has generally headed and filed well, and
that tho grain is Of an unusually ane quail
ity. The prospect is favorable for secur-.
ing the crop in excellent condition, thus
insuring high grade Of wheat for mar
keting. Never in the history Of the state
has there been SO poor an pat crop harvest
ed as the present one. The Texas oat
flouse has spread all over that portion Of
the state east and south Of q line drawn
from the northeast to the southwest COR
ner, and in that region has done an enor-
nous amount Of damage, completely ruin
ing a large portion Of the crop.

The News is surprised to see that Hon.
Martin Ryan objects to the change OF date
for the state convention. The necessity
for this change was apparent to all. Ev-
cry committeeman in the state but two
assented to it. The written assents are in
the hands of Acting Secretary Cults, who
is also procuring special railroad rates to
The convention, August 9Th. Everything
will be done to welcome the democracy
here and make them feel at home. Every
county is urged to send full delegation.
Let there be q grand outpouring. It is
likely some orator of national repute will
be procured to open the campaign after
the winning ticket is named.-GrandF Forks
News.
1t is painfully evident to the unbiased
mind that "the necessity for the CHANGE
above referred to only existed in the in
terests of certain faction who deem it
their province to dictate how often and
at what times the democratic masses shall
snoeze. It is scheme in the interests of
NJ. L. Mccormack and Grand Forks. The
people of Grand Forks are very modest.
They never ask for anything except what
they want, but it appears they want every
thing and want it all the time. McCor-
mack wants the nomination for governor,
but he doesn't want to run any chances,
and for that reason he has forced change
in the date for holding the democratic con-
vention until after the republicans have
made their nominations. If the republi-
cans make mistake and put up weak
ticket-that is, nominate ticket without
a compromise between the Miller and anti
Millerites-then Mccormack viii jump in
with both feet, expecting, of course, that
the republican split will insure his election.
Tho LEADER would have no particular OBJ
iections to this, as We believe Mccormack
would make good governor; but there
are other localities besides Grand Forks
that can furnish good men, and which
ought to be recognized. Grand Forks is
altogether too Zip" in her demands. She
exhibits the same porcihe principles on
the republican side of the house. George
Winship and George Walsh both want to
be governor, and then they want the capi-
tal besides. A friend at our elbow suggests
chat both parties nominate their candi-
dates for governor from that city, and then
let the people step in with a third man
and elect him, leaving Grand Forks and
hor gubernatorial aspirants stranded on
the beach of reflection whence they can
contemplate the fearful wreck they have
caused through their political selfshness
and unreasonable cravings for bossism.
