prominent Jesuits in France have written
to members of the order informing them
that they expect to be expelled from
France before the end of the present year,

THE report of the Sugar Beet Commits
sion, a synopsis of which we gave last week,
from the fact that it holds out the prospect
of profitable sugar culture is attracting at
tention. The difficulty is in getting the
enterprise started. The least outlay in
erecting mill for the extraction and the
manufacture of sugar will be about $10,-
600. 1t is proposed that bonus be allowed
by the State of say two cents per pound
for any person or company who shall pro-
duce sugar in quantities of not less than TO-.
GOO pounds. Our State is slow to develop
internal improvements and it is doubtful
whether there be sufficient encouragement
extended to inaugurate the enterprise.

his reply Saturday, answering first that
he laid sworn confession OF Cralg's con.

directed him to refer the came to Solicitor
Wilson and follow the solicitors instruc'

guilty, he did; second, that the police Judge
held them to answer and the grand jury in

The Coming Immigration.
There . great deal of attention being
attracted to Jamestown from all along the
Northern Pacific Railroad, as we'll as
many points east, especially from Wis
consin;


This is due to its central position on
the Northern Pacific in Dakota Territory !;
to its beautiful situation in the fertile James
River Valley, valley 400 miles long, rich
in agricultural qualities from its head to
its mouth; to the hardly less fertile upland
plateaus above the river; its easily pro-
cured and excellent water, in fact every
thing that goes to make prosperous
farming community and a thriving town.


Not only is attention directed this way,
but tide of immigration has set toward
us that will before midsummer, occupy
all the government lands within Is miles
Ut least, OF our town.


The railroad lands are sold for 10 to 20
miles from jamestown, many of the owners
Of which are now cultivating them or pre-
preparing to do SO.


The business, trades and professions de-
pending upon tue agriculturist, are being
fast represented by active pushing men,
who are fully alive to the coming import
ance of this place, and who will do their
part to make it second to no country place
along the line of road.


This being the case, we would strongly
advise any who propose coming here, to
not procraktinate, but to come soon if they
would secure good chance in the different
~vocations they propose to follow.

TO the Editor Of The National Republican:


SIR: Will you do the writer and others
equally interested the favor of replying,
through the columns of your paper to the fol-
lowing questions:


l. Does a person, having once been entitled
TO vote in State, forfeit his right to vote by not
exercising it for an indefinite period--say ten
years-if he has continuously resided in the
District of Columbia during that time?


g How would the fact of his having voted
for local officers under the late Territorial
fOlm of Government here affect his right TO
vote at a general election in his native State
g. Does 1t make any difference whether one
is or is not in the service of the General
Government, so far as the preservation of his
right TO vote in State is concerned?

SENATOR VANCE of North Carolina, Is
ut once an authoritative and indiscrect ex-
ponent of the true inwardness of the South
ern Democracy. He declares, from the
standpoint of insolent and self-sullicient
Bourbon Democracy, that the equality of
citizenship is myth, which isundoubtedly
true in the South; and therein resides his
indiscretion, for it is the habit of your
average Bourbon to acclaim louder than
any one else his devotion to the principles of
the Declaration Of Independence He says;


Many Northern people have an idea that
every man in the land is the equal of others In
every respect-that Republicans aud Demo-
crats arc the same class of people, and enjoy
the same privileges. theoretically that is so,
practically u is not.


Undoubtedly the Senator had in his
minds eye, when he uttered this truthful
sentiment, the difference between theory
and practice as illustrated in Mississippi
latterly and in his own State of North Caro-
lima during the dark and bloody days of
Ku Kluxism in 1S71-2-3 But if he keeps
on talking this way, and making such in
discreet though truthful admissions, it will
become the duty of the censorous guard
ians of his party to clap muzzle on his
reckless chin

their mothers are busy with domestic

the notion that they are very literary

is too coarse for such fine young ladies'

is to provide them with nice clothes,
and to be content with admiring their
handsome appearance in the intervals
of labor. Girls of this sort are very
anxious TO lie married, that they may
escape the disagreeableness of a home
where they are held, more or less, un-

ties of cider ag ,inst the no license law

TO the cellar to get bottle fora friend
the other night he found that five OF
them had burst. He picked up a
sound one, returned above stairs. He
held the bottle at an angle of 81 IL
degs. north latitude, between his knees,
and cut the wires that girt the cork
There was flash and a report, and
the cork struck the northern brink of
his wife's left ear, while the entire pint
of cider making nearly as good time as
tile cork, struck the expectant friend
full in the mouth. Never having accus
toned himself to drinking cider in this
way, that is on the fly, he reminded the
detected possessor of the bottle that he
had been able to get only smell of the
liquor, and advised him to open another
bottle. The request was complied
with, and the host brought up another
bottle, and in order to avoid accidents
and also save the cider, he turned the
neck of the bottle into pither before
he cut the wires. Then he severed the
cords in the presence of small but
highly appreciative and attentive audi
ence. The second maneuvre, as far as
getting the cider out of the bottle and
into the pitcher was concerned, was a
complete success, but the idea that it
might refuse to stay there does not ap-
pear to have struck him half so fierce
ly as did the cider when, with unim


paired agility and strength, it shot
forth and raked him from the bottom
button Of his vest to the back part in
his hair. About thimbleful of the
liquid remained in the bottom of the
pitcher and this was drank in solemn
silence by the guest, who pronounced
1t to be exceedingly good. but nervous

gusted with the ignorance and os-
tracism of North Carolinians that
henceforth he is Stalwart. AS a
specimen lie we give ono extract.
which shows j. Otta to be a most
unconscionable slanderer and falsi-
fer, as to two thousand RepubIi-
cans in Wilmington can bear testi-
mony. Hear this champion liar:


"His description of the condition
of affairs in North Carolina is per
1ectly astounding. He says that he
travelled the State over and found
only four Republicans who had the
courage to express their political con-
viction, and says that at every poll
ing place the Democratic bulldozers
displayed revolvers and used them
freely on those who manifested any
disposition to vote any ticket other
than the Democratic. The whole
thing was surprise to him, as when
he bad been up North lie had always
attributed the stories of 'soutragcs''
in the South as being the campaign
thunder of Republican politicians
desirous of firing the Northern heart,
but he found during the stay in North
Carolina that the Republican politi-
clans here do hot know one-half Of
