A NEW LITERARY LIGHT.
Sketch of the Rise of Richard Harding
Davis.

Especial Correspondence
New YORK, Jan. 29-At my right at
the Clover club dinner the other night
sat slender, dark complexioned young
gentleman whose name | did not catch
at first. When in the fullness of time
it pleased the chairman to summon this
particular victim to the crucial test Of
addressing the club, he proved to be too
cunning to make a speech. He went to
the piano, and after strumming for a
minute or SO to get simple chord he
began singing the wierdest thing ever
heard, outside of the keening of Irish
women at wake in the coal regions
after the Molly Maguires were hanged.
1t was Rudyard Kipling's "Files on
Parade" set to music that was com
posed by the singer, and the singer was
Richard Harding Davis.
Next morning it was announced in the
newspapers that John Foord, formerly
editor of the New York Times, had re-
signed his position rs managing editor
of Harper's Weekly, and that the 26-year-
old boy whom had heard at the Clover
club, singing in a way to astoni3h the
company, had been engaged to take Mr..
Foords place.
1t is no great wonder that Mr.. Davis
admires Kipling, for he is u good deal Of
comet himself. Hewas born in Phila-
delphia, and comes honestly by his tai
ent, having inherited it. His father is
L. Clark Davis, veteran newspaper
man whom George w. Childs long ago
retained on The Ledger, and his mother
is Rebecca Harding Davis. Arthur Bris-
bane, of The New York Evening Sun,
who claims the honor of having helped
to start young Davis, tells me this about
him:
He went to two colleges-the Lehigh
university and the Johns Hopkins, but
did not graduate at either-preferrin
newspaper work to college routine. Be
ginning at 10, he went to work as rt,-
porter on The Philadelphia Press and
did some notable writing. Among other
things he went to live for five or six
weeks among the thieves of the Quaker
City, and landed six burglars in Moya-
mensing besides writing some startling
copy. Drifting from paper to paper, as
reporters will, he made his mark in all
the Philadelphia Offices. Together with
Mort McMichael he started small
sheet called The Stage, which soon died
In 1888 The Press sent him to London
with the American cricket team, and
while there he wrote in addition to his
sporting letters some descriptions of
WhiJechapel that were syndicated to all

Valley City Times Record: The report
of Professor Babcock of the State Univer-
sity of North Dakota on "Coal and Sugar
Beets in North Dakota" is a very interest
ing publication. It is issued by the state
commissioner of agriculture, and copies
can be obtained by addressing that official.
1t shows conclusively that North Dakota
is admirably suited to the raising of sugar
beets and that the coal deposits are among
the best in the country, and only await de-
velopment.

The Rock County News, a Minnesota al

The Rock County News, a Minnesota al
lance paper, takes a decidedly original
view of the money question-for an organ
of the farmers alliance. In a recent article
it inveighs against tinkering with the in
terest rate, and urges the legislature not to
place onerous conditions upon loanable
capital, so that it will be driven from the
State. The News says:
She News must take issue squarely with
the alliance on this particular. The ten
dency of late years toward reduction has
crowded the rates down in the west in a
greater ratio than in the money centers.
The margin for the transaction of the
business has been constantly growing
smaller. Another decrease of 2 per cent
would about wipe out the agents margin
of profit and expense, and one of two
things must necessarily follow, either the
money will be withdrawn altogether or it
must be secured by direct application to
the original loaners. OF the two, the form
OF il by far the more likely to occur and
the last state of the borrower would be far
worse than the first. There are many
schemes for securing cheaper money, but
the reduction of the legal rate of interest
is not likely to prove effective. In the
older, vealthier and more thickly popu-
lated portions of the state, it might work
no hardship. but it is no measure for q new
country. The tendency of the day is to-
ward making the tariff in money free and
untampered.

North Dakota Coal.

Tho pure, white smoke which curled
heavenward yesterday evening from the
smokestack on The Argus building, and
the chimneys of a few others in Fargo who
used North Dakota coal, must have attract
ed attention by way of contrast with that
which assembled from other chimneys. This
white, clean, fleecy smoke m from
burning North Dakota coal, which is from
the Lehigh mines, Dickinson, Hon. A. C.
McGillivray manager. If the legislature
succeeds in passing a bill that will reduce
freight rates to a point where local dealers
can afford to handle it, North Dakota
coal will eventually become very popular,
because of its cheapness and cleanliness.
Then there will be less dirty smoke, fewer
black pots and skillets, more lily-white
hands and more radiant faces.-Fargo
Argus.

January 1891, goes down to history as G
most markable one. It was the warmest
in the history of the Bismarck signal Of
fee, and the snow fall was hardly percepti-
ble-hardly enough. to measure, and it
passed away almost as suddenly as it came.
The month more resembled January, 1878,
than any other year. The mean tempera-
ture of January, 1873, was 17.6 degrees
above zero; this year, PIP. There were
but five cloudy days this month, making
only as since the 31st day of August last.
That the eastern people may know what
kind of a winter it has been in this part of
North Dakota this season, the following
summary for the past five months-153
days-ls published:

In The Grsnd Forks Herald is an article
urging The republicans of the state to get
back to ths first principles of their party,
or their party viii go to the dogs. The
Herald article predicts that the Alliance
people and the democrats win unite, and
that in the near future they viii sweep
things in the state. II f. undoubtedly
very desirable the party should strive with
all its strength to represent the needs Of
tho people, and thst the interests Of the
farmers should especially be looked sftsr.
It owes It to its constituents thst this he
its course. But il would seem that the
Herald Is not exactly the papef that should
be setting out to give instructions TO the
republican party. The editor of the Her
aid gave notice not very long ago that #
certain things we're not done to suit him,
there would be trouble, and thst he would
leave the party for his own good, or words
to that eject. Mr.. Winship is q good nsvs-

Newport's Enthusiasms

NEWPORT. Nov. 25.-Last evening was a
red letter time for Newporters. The whole
city was early in the evening made aware
for the hundredth time that the Young
Mems Republican Club had won the flag
offered by THE PROVIDENCE NEWS To- that
club which should receive the most votes.
Shortly before O'Clock the club accom-
panied by the George Peabody Wetmore
club and the Newport Cadets and attend
ed by the Newport brass band, marched
through the main streets of the city on
their way to the boat which had been
chartered to take them To Providence

and Bucklin both gained slightly In Ward
One, district one. Cummings gained
Thurber lost ten.
The count for senator was exciting, be-
cause there was such small difference
between the two leading candidates, and
even between the leading candidates for
mayor there is only a difference Of about
200 votes.
The pluralities of some OF the candidates
supposed TO be elected, are small and may
possibly be eliminated. The Democrats
claim to hope for the election of Potter
next time. But it is not supposed that
Hahn has any chance against Woods, and
the Republicans are almost sure that with
proper effort Mr.. Woods will be elected
next time and will go to the Senate with
considerable majority.

convicted of perjury in the district court
