HISTORY MADE IsY LUCK.

DR.. Lafferty of New Orleans recently de-
ivered a lecture on Lees Lack of Luck"
saws the Times Democrat. The doctor
told how W English snobs. at Il restaurant
in Paris. by their sneers. drove Murat out
OF service as a waiter and through this &C.
cldent Murat became a marshal of France
and king of Napels. Samples of lucky &C.
cidents were numerous in ancient and
modern history, n there were also many
examples that went to show how many of
the ancients believed in good luck or good
torture. Napoleon had lost Waterloo
through the mere accident of bringing. on
all attack of sick headache through eating
onion and lamb against the advice of his
physician.
In 1886 a quarrel between Conkling and
Blanc decided the presidency of the United
States many years aftarward, when Blame
ran against Cleveland.
Abraham Lincoln, after having been a
member of congress, desired to secure a
clerkship in Washington, hut he was de-
feated by Justin Butterfeld. He was dis
appointed, but had he not been defeated
he would have spent his life in obscurity
instead of becoming president of the
United States,
Oliver Cromwell was once on board a
ship bound for America, but he was taken
back by a constable, and tho result was
that he became one of the greatest men
England ever knew.
Ulysses Grant would not have been a
military man had it not been that his rival
for IL West Point cadetshlp had been found
to have six toes on zach foot instead of five.
The great silver mine, the ''SiIver King
had been discovered by the lucky accident
of a prospector throwing a piece of roc
at q lazy mule.

New York Governed by Bandits.

j. W. Glced in the Forum: That distis,-
guished citizen OF Haw York, Capt. Kidd,
first set Tia. fashion. and PIRACY has Goar-
ished in New York over since. It met
a temporary encouragement in the down
fall Of Capt. Tweed, but, if the Evening
Post is to be believed 1t has risen again in
the person of Capt. Croker. There may
have been a period in the early part Of
the century when the city was able 10 gov
ern itself and did, but certainly for a long
time it has been governed by bandits. il
seem to be absolutely helpless in their
hands. The word bandit" is putting it
mildly, and perhaps an apology is doe
those honest f~reebooters who carry on
their business openly and by force rather
than by bribery and cunning. History
contains no other huch record of currupt
mlsrule as that of New York city. The
city has SO long and steadily looted it's W
treasury that it has lost all se~lf-respoct.-
1t cannot provide itself with the common
necessities of life-for example, adequate
transportation facilities-because it has
no confidence in its own honesty. And so
it goes on packing itself into such con-
veyances as there are, pell nell, men, wo-
men and children, in the most uncomfort.
able, %unsanitary and indecent masses, and
80 getting up and down the island the best
it can. The politics of New York seem
to be hopelessly corrupt. The statement
has been made by a person in a position
to know that a distinguished member of
congress from New York staked more
than 100000 on the result of the last
election, and that a distinguished Judge
of a New York court acted a. bookmaker
in this and other similar transactions, I
have been told by a wealthy and reputa-
BILE business man, himself a member of
Tammany, that at one time, through the
workings of competition, the price of
votes Ill the city got extravigantly high,
and that to cut down election expenses
Tammany and the Republican bosses
came together and agreed upon the max
imum price to be paid for a vote-in fact,
formed a trust, a sort of voting trust, for
the oppression of the poor but dishonest
elector.

I have just passed through the Chero-
kse Nation in the territrry, said a gentle
man to . Gazette reporter last night. and
you would be surprised to see the count
less devices and the horde of moqnts-
banks there for the purpose of getting a
vhack at the Strip money which was soon
to be paid to the Indians. Everything
that is gaudy and all kinds of gambling
outfits will reap thousands of dollars for
those who will prey upon the weaknesses
of the noble red man. Al every Indian
baby will be worth $3.50, the tribe, like
Israel OF old, is waxing exceedingly
strong. Within a period that is remark
able for it's briefnoss, $50 little cherubic
redskins have been born, and there are
many others whom the fond parents hope
will make their appearance before the
prizes hs bsen drawn.

Andrew Blewett of jamestown, has been
appointed Surveyor General of North Da-
kota by President Cleveland.
YELLOWSTONE PARK.

Army officers acting as superintendent
of the great national parks have for years
past been alternately protesting against
threatened legislation to authorize en-
croachments upon the reserved areas. and
asking for other legislation that shall make
it possible effectively to protect the parks
against m%arauders. Capt. George S. An
derson, acting superintendent of the
Yellowstone Park has protested in his
last two reports against this proposition
embodied in legislation now pending to
pare down the park on the north and west
to the Wyoming boundary. He has also
pointed out the need of a stringent law to
protect game. and such a law is now on its
way through congress. The acting super
intendent.
Yellowstone Park has to contend not
only with those who would cut down Its
area, but as we'll with a gang of watchful
and persistent poachers. The park is
believed to %cnntain at least 400 buffalo
the only considerable body of those ami
mails now living in the United States; rs,
600 elk, many mountain sheep, between
500 and 1000 antelopes. bears of seaveraI
varieties, a few moose, besides beavers
wolverines, badgers, %porcupines, otter:
and a great num-. er and variety of game
birds. The finest and some of the rarest
Of these animals live on the upper edge OF
the park in the beautiful mountain region
it is proposed to pars eff. The poacheri
here about this region trap the beavers
or their valuable skins, catch the bu ffalC
calves and young elks alive, kill the ole
buffalo for their hides and heads, and
destroy game of all kinds. The increasing
scarcity of big game makes the park more
and more tempting to poachers. Most
kinds of game, however, are increasing in
the park. The beavers, in particular, are
multiplying, and so are the elks, though it
is estimated that 5000 persisted the white,
before last. The bears of the smaller
sort have become very tame, and
so have many others of the large animals
Even the mountain sheep permit the near
approach of the soldiers that guard the
park, and the buffalo heards are undis
turbed by visitors.

The Fargo Forum has evolved an idea
concerning a partial solution, at least, of
the unemployed labor problem that has
good logical hard sense in it. Although
the canal project ia something of a re-
vamp of the old steamboat canal route of
territorial days when a big ditch running
from Coal Harbor on the Missouri. was to
connect with the waters of the James
near Jamestown and thus make a good
waterway for boats six hundred miles
along the James to it's junction with the
Missouri near Yankton. Nevertheless the
Forums project is all right. Here is
what it says:
"There are thousands of acres arid land
that properly constructed canal through.
and could be made into good farms with
irrigation. The laborers should be given
q chance to select these lands, and pro
tected in acquiring title. The govern
mont would be repaid by increase in the
material wealth, and nothing would 80
" quickly demonstrate who are the needy
and which are the tramp. North Dakota
would gladly welcome the trial of such a
solution of the vexed question. Congress
should see to this without delay. Thirty
days attention would be ample to start the
improvement. The levels OF the Missouri
are known, also of the lake, and its Min
nesota outlet. A canal starting from the
Missouri about Coal Harbor in Mclean
County-where good coal is found in end

Mclean. Burlelgh, crossing tho Northern
Pacific about Dawson in Kidder County,

river near Dickey in LaMoure, on through

hundred miles; the communities benefited

Northwest News: The farmers and
every class of people are more hopeful Of
this years results than they haye been for
years. This is beginning Of a cycle of
prosperity. There has been plenty of
moisture the past winter, the soil was
never more fertile nor the spring more
propitious. Ne all enter upon this year
with 4 h%opefullness that chHracterizes our
people. The panic has shattered the i'll
lustries of other riglons; but North Da-
kota is still here, suberb in her recuperu-
tive powers. This is the year of our de-
liverance. Eastern investors who have
placed money in North Dakota have found
that 1t yielded returns in gold when other
states merely gave them sorrow, suits and
worthless tax titles.
Ward County Reporter: Az the time
draws near for the holding of the Repub-
lican State Convention it will he we'll for
the Northwestern counties to prepare to
act in unison OF tne matter of nominees
to be placed on the ticket. Hon. G. E.
Gregory of this city has a strong support
throughout the State for Attorney Cen
erai. A better man could not be placed
on the State ticket for that responsible
position. Mr.. Gregory is Il sound and
able lawyer, and Il thorough bred gentle
mar. This section of the State is certain
ly deserving of something, and there is
no man in the State that deserves more at
the hands of the Republican party than
Charles E. Gregory. The Reporter hopes
to see him nominated. for it knows that
his name will add strength to the ticket
and that he is eminently we'll qualified to
discharge, in a fitting manner, tho duties
of the office.
While the LEADER endorses the above
tribute to Senator Gregory, and would be
glad to sec him advanced to the Attorney
6eneralship, but 1t must be remembered
that the Senator will still serve his con
stltuents the coming session of the legis-
lature, and all know rs a member of that
body, in point of ability and usefulness
he takes front rank. The LEADER will
add, also, that had the Republican State
convention of two years ago placed Sen.
ator Gregory In nomination for Attorney
General he would have carried the Repub.
lican State ticket to victory. d.
