to make common cause with us in
warding of disruption. For the same
or similar reasons we invite those of
you whom fortune has led to To-
cate east of our boundaries, to seek a
separation from territory which, apart
from this vicinity, has nothing in COM
mon with you, and toattach yourselveSto
a territory which has everything in COM
mon, and whose legislative policy either
as. territory or state will constantly
foster by all reasonable means the in
dustry in which you are engaged, be-
cause it is the industry by which, if at
all, must come the future wealth and
greatness of our state.


The maintenance of our territorial
unity with the annexation of so much
Of Dakota as is embraced in the treas
ure bearing district we believe will be
mutually benefcial-to the north as well
as to the south.


In conclusion let us glance Mt the
salient points of the issue.


First, we have unity of geographic,
climatic and geologic, characteristics,
binding us to the same labors, purposes
and ends by law of nature, stronger
than the law Of political government,
forcing to legislation for the common
interest regardless of party prediction.


Second, by union we have one strong
territory, able to command attention to
our necessities and rights, instead of
two weak and inefficient organizations.


Third, by union the north shares with
the south in the benefits of 1920, 900. an
nually paid in taxes by the Union Pa
cific railroad company, which is sew
erance the north foregoes.


Fourth, by union the extension of
railroad facilities will be fostered, where
as, by seve rance it will be retarded.


Fifth, by union we can look forward
to a much nearer statehood, with the
high privileges of independence which it
brings.


Having followed the course of empire
thus far westward, let US unitedly work
out here the destiny of the second great
state, sitting astride the crowning ridge
of the American continent. I remain
very respectfully your obedient servant.

On Tuesday morning July 10th, the Princess
was lying at anchor in Moose.a-bec Reach, but
it might have been anywhere else for all that
the crew could see as they came on deck. A
thick gray blanket of fog had settled like pal
during the night and shut from view the shore
and sky; even the schooners moored close
alongside were completely hidden. The sharp
est eyes could not pierce the gray, wet mist for
more than boats length. Out of the void
around came voices from the shore, a football
on the deck of neighboring craft. the regular
stroke and splash of oars of some boat pulling
by within cables length, but nothing was to
be seen, nothing but the dull, chilling, watery
mass OF fog that enveloped US.


OF course, it was useless to think of getting
under way. To sail yacht into the Bay of

During the year 1877 there will be
three ecipses of the sun and two of the
moon. The first is total eclipse of the
moon, on February ~, partly visible
from England and invisible in America,
the moon being below the horizon
through the whole continuance of the
eclipse.


The second eclipse is partial eclipse
of the sun, invisible from both Europe
and America. Its greatest phase is
about one-third of the suns diameter. 1t
begins on March IA.


The third is a partial eclipse of the
sun, August s, invisible both in Europe
and America.


The fourth is a total eclipse of the
moon, visible from England and partly
in the United States, taking place on
August %.


The fifth, and last, is partial eclipse
of the sun on September 6. This eclipse
will be seen from Cape Horn and parts
of South America, but not from North
America.


In eighteen years there are usually
about seventy ecipses-twenty-nine of
the moon and forty-one of the sun, or
nearly two to three. Seven is the great
est number of eclipses that can occur in
a wear, and two the least. Ii there are
seven, five must be Of the sun and two

must be of the sun, for in every year

When all the various and strange Incl
dents of the dread Lake Shore railroad
disaster will be told it is hard to say, but
many things occurred which are remark
able and worthy of special note. An
Irishman who lived near the bridge told
the reporter that he was among the first
at the scene and there saw woman and
child hanging to burning car. He first
reached the woman, waded through three
feet of snow and water, and, after Sc
we're exertion, placed her on dry ground.
He then went back after the child, which
hung by a single hand to the car. Be
fore he could reach tia fame shot up and
enveloped it from sight. 1t had dropped
and sunk into the water below.


Another man was seen to emerge from
a car and in his frantic wildness forgot a
wife and child behind him. He had
reached place of safety before his loss
came to him. He went back to the car
door, saw his dear ones in the flames be-
yond recovery, and with remark to
some one near that if they perished he
would too, he rushed into the car and
was soon enveloped in the flames, from
which he never reappeared. No one
knew who he was.


A remarkable escape was made by Che
family of Judson Martin, a gentleman
from New York State, who, with his wife
and two children, was on his way to JEFF
ferson, Ohio, to take up new home.
He first escaped and then some one got
out his wife. She was scarcely on shore
when she shrieked for her children.
They were yet cGnging to platform out
in the middle Of the wreck. Some hero
whose name could not be learned plunged
in, and, grasping the children one at a
time, threw them into the hands OF an
other man, who stood with open arms to
receive them. The younger child was
injured somewhat by the fall and the ter
rife crash of the timbers. The family
were all saved.


A citizen of Ashtabula, who was at the
burning wreck few minutes after the ac-
cident, says that he saw two women leap
from car and plunge into the water and
disappear under the ice.

THE muddled mass which makes up the

excite general Iidicule. In one clause it de-

very next calls for the overthrow of the bank
ing system and the substitution of paper
money issued and managed by the General
Government and the regulation of inter-
States railways by United States authority.
In another part it urges the strictest econo-
my and then turns to the advocacy of such
an equalization of the bounties of soldiers in
the late war as would be principally no
ticeable for its enrichment of claim agents,
but which would involve the country in an
expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Its financial planks are as bad as bad can be
and only stop short of actual reputation.

with better sense than to endorse any such
demagogic claptrap or to elect ticket stand
