FROM WASHINGTON.
Editor Jewell Finds Time to Dash
Off a Few Lines.

June S.-lSpecIal. Fl
notice that Morton was the first county
in the state to fire a gun for the D
lists, and that it was a broadside for that
distinguished champion of silver. Attor-
ney General Standish-a Macedonian
cry, SO TO speak, in favor Of that GENTLE
man for congress. This did not sur
prise me so much as to see in the list Of
delegates selected to the state conyen-
ton that of the old and only Morton
county war horse, Elijah Boley. What
can my old friend Boley be doing in the
populist camp? Wasn't he always recog-
nized by the republicans? Always made
chairman of our conventions? What
will that rock-rooted son-in-law, DR..
Coe, now of Portland, Ore, say when he
hears of this. I hope the Forum tele-
grams are in error, and that Boley is
etill in the republican pasture.
A Bismarcker asked me the other dav.
what kind of a looking man Coxey was.
Now 1 don't want to cast any reflections
on DR.. Harcourt, and I am not looking
for any trouble with Coxey, who gains
his liberty from the district jail to-mor-
row, but the resemblance of these two
mon, if the doctor wore spectacIes, would
be very striking. That there may be no
trouble about this matter, I respectfully
beg the doctors pardon now. BY the
way, I am glad to learn that the doctor
is about to we'd a charming lady in Can
ada, and will make Bismarck his per
manent home.
Official reports, in more ways than
figures, sometimes are in error. I was
looking over the second volume of the
Census Compendium recently, and under
"Bonds Issued in North Dakota" I
find that the words university Of Min
nesota" occur instead of the words "Uni-
verslty of North Dakota" I asked Com
missioner Wright about this and he
writes me that it's simply an error,
which, of course, I knew.
Major Mclaughlin and his charming
daughter Imalda are still here, and the
weather SO fine and the attractions go
great I don't believe they will be in a
hurry to return to the Standing Rock
trail. They will go over to Coney Island
next week to visit Harry Mclaughlin,
who is v Q there with Thomas managing
the Sitting Bull Cabin combination of
Indians and Indian curios, "Wild West
performances, etc.
l had the pleasure Of a trip to Mount
Vernon, the home Of that gentleman Of
Ratchet fame, along with DR.. Porter,
Major Mclaughlin and others, yester-
day. Under the management OF the
Ladies Mount Vernon society this charm
ing spot has been redeemed and beauti-
fed beyond competent description. It
ls. the most charming place I have ever
visited, and illustrates the fact that the
Immortal George was a man who knew a
good thing when he saw it, and knew
how to grasp it at the same time. He
left 5000 acres here, now worth from
5000 to $500 an acre. Visitors to WASH
ington should never miss the trip to
Mount Vernon. M. II. j.
