The Itoscoe (Moody county) Express speaks of thirty bushels of wheat to the acre in that county. Thus wc hare it from all portions of Dakota. Large yields and No. 1 wheat.

Bartlett Tripp will arrive to-morrow en route for the Hills and will probably speak at Bismarck sending a day or two here. Tripp, as well as Bennett is making a thorough canvass.

The New Republic remarks: A few more such victories for the Democracy as that which they are exulting over in Maine and there will be tail for the Southern Democracy to wag.

The Vermillion Republican states in the plainest language possible that it won't support Bennett: that it will encour­age the anti-Bennett Republicans; that it is, and cxpects always to be a Republican paper.

Eaton, one of the few Democrats that had pluck enough to oppose the electoral compromise, stands now for honest mon­ey. La^t winter he said: After unlimited silver will come unlimited paper issues, and after that—hell.

Judge Kidder repudiates the newspaper views and interviews in which he is rep­resented as believing that Dakota is likely to give Bartlett Tripp a majority. He claims to have said nothing that could be tortured into such a view.

When newspapers hostile to the North Pacific get tired of representing that the road runs through a desert and has no business any way, they represent that the road is so crowdcd with freight as to re­sult in a general blockade.

APS,

The gubernatorial vote in Maine was ahotit as follow*: Connor, Republican, 5t>,4in; Smith, Greenback, 41,404; Garce-lon. Democrat, 27,872. Last year the total vote was 101,101 for Governor; this year it was 125,721! votes. Last year the Dem-oerats polled 42,114 votes. This year, though the total vote is nearly 23,000 greater than it was in 1877, the Democrats have 14,242 votes less than tliey had then. Connor has 2,788 more votes than he had in 1877.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for the rifle clubs of the South to sell their arms and ammunition and expend the proceeds in aid of their suffering fellow-citizens. Urttnz & Finkle, of Moorhead, donated two barrels of flour which auctioned in St. Paul for £10.50. That lame soldier's liible brought $100, and the Black Hills people have contributed a lot of golden nuggets to be sold at auction. Rifle club arms, if offered, would yield a handsome sum.

It will now be in order to abuse still another Republican paper, the Roscoe (Moody county) Express, for telling the truth. We quote as follows from its issue of Sept. 12th: We received a very pleas­ant call from Hon. Bartlett Tripp, the Democratic nominee for Delegate in Con­gress, last Friday. Mr. Tripp is a man well posted as to the wants of the Terri­tory, and should he he elected will, we should judge, look after them zealously. He started on the return trip for Yankton Friday afternoon, after having made many friends in this section- He will receive many Republican votes in this county.

Bennett's majority in Lawrence county will be about 300; sheriff s, 200^register of deeds, 800; treasurer, 125. McKinns, Man­ning and Thompson can't make it.—Dtad-irimd Time*.

The Deadwood Times estimates the vote of Lawrence county this fall at about 5,200 and that of Custer and Pennington coun­ties at 1,200, making the total vote of the Hills 0,400. We believe this estimate to be pretty nearly correct. The vote won't vary 200 more or less from this estimate. We do not agree, however, with the Times as to the compaction of that vote. If the Hills will prevent Tripp from getting a thousand majority in Lawrence county, the balance of the Territory will take care of Bennett

John Butler will leave Sunday erening or Monday morning .for an extended trip to Dakota, visiting citieft and towns along the route, and they may go as far as the Black Hills. If they go to the Black Hills we would advise them to shave their heads to guard against too close an acquaintance with Sitting Ball in case he shonld return to that conntiy while they are ont there.— Marshall (Mich.) Expounder.

The party mentioned may travel from Marshall to Deadwood without seeing an Indian, except at Bismarck or Fort Lin-' coin. At either point they are liable to meet some squaws, who will be sure to rush upon them and expect an immediate surrender to their appeals to "Give me ten cents." Titer may cast affectionate glances upon them and mildly suggest two dollars, but that will depend upon the appearance of the stranger. The venerable editor of the Expounder would surely es­cape this latter danger were he to come. Seriously. Sitting Bull is not within 400 miles of the Black Hills, and there is no more danger cow to travelers between Bis­marck and Deadwood than there is be­tween Marshall and Battle Creek. A lone settler now occupies the field where Cus­ter was massacred, and settlements extend from Bismarck to the Custer battle field, with not a straggling Indian between this point and that to molest travelers.

Fort XcKianey Re-Located. Speaking of the arrival of Capt Wf>od-

son, of the 6th cavalry, at that point, the Sidney Telegraph says:

"He gives us the description of a new military post that is being established on Clear Fork, a branch of Powder river at th'e base of the Big Horn Mountains. The new Fort McKlnney is loeated on the Clear Fork of the Powder River at the eastern base of the Big Horn Mountains, and 50 nlilca north of the old Powder river post. It —ill be garrisoned by tour companies of infantry and three companies of the fll'th cavaliy. It will be substantial and permanent, and is built from lumber procured near the site of the post Two sawmills are now iu operation, and the quarters will be habitable by an early date in January. This post is especially im­portant because it opens to settlement one of the richest and best watered portions of the northwest, especially adapted to grazing. There arc already many settlers upon the old traveled routes. Powder riv­er, Crazy Woman's and Clear Forks, the Piney and branches, and Goose Creek flow through this region. Several of these streams abound in trout, and there is game in great abundance. Yet this is the veiy country in which the troops operated in 1876, and in which the fight occurred -be­tween the Indians and General Crook's command on the Rosebud, and the Custer massacre on the Little Big Horn. It is learned that some of the oflicers of General Merrit's command visited lhe latter battle­field, made accurate measurements of dis­tances between the points which Reno and Custer occupied, and between other points of the field which will no (Jnnljt be valua­ble information in any future investiga­tion in regard to lliat engagement. It lias before been rumored thai an article on this subject will appear in one of the lcad-"ng magazines.

A tri-weekly mail from Rock Creek sta­tion, on the L. P. R. R., via Forts Fetter-man and McKinney to Forts Keogh and Custer, uZ the Yellowstone, goes intoeffect October 1st. Hitherto there has been a tri-weekly mail to Fort Fetteraian only. Many entile men are now senilnrr along G<;. ise Creek a:ul Crazy Woman's Fork on | the eastern slope of the Big Horn Moun­tains, and large.Iierds of catlle are now on their way southward, among which may be mentioned heids belonging to Frank Yates, formerly trader at Red Cloud Agen­cy, Mark «fc "Myers, of Cheyenne, and Boyd, the stock man.

That historic ground of Indian contests is fast becoming public property and with the strong protection of the new fort will receive added impetus toward develop­ment."

At Swan Lake, Turner county, last week, in the course of his remarks Judge Bennett said: **Bart!ett Tripp, shonld he go to Coagraa, would go as a Democrat. The Territory of Dakota would stand in the estimation of the nation, as Democrat­ic. That would be the inevitable result. There are politics in this campaign, and they can not be kept out The speaker was of the opinion that a resident of south­eastern Dakota should not be chosen as delegate of that section alone—that a resi­dent of northern Dakota shonld not be chosen aa delegate of that particular sec­tion—iiidt a resident of the Black Hills should not be chosen as delegate of that section. A delegate to Congress must represent the entire Territory, aud that was what he would do lairly and impar­tially. There were no conflicting interests m the Territory. There was no desire for a division of the Tcrritoiy upon the part of the people of <my section, so that sub­ject could not be brought up as an argu­ment in favor of one section or against another. The speaker was a resident of Dakota—had been for nearly four years, bis interests were here, all he possessed was here, and in office or out of office, he proposed to make Dakota his home. He bad done no work to secure bis nomina­tion. It had come to him, and he had ac­cepted the situation, and if elected he would serve the people to the best of bis ability.

The yellow fever is abating somewhat in the South. No further contributions are needed in New Orleans.

W. A. Rogers, of Harper's Weekly, is sketching for Harper's Weekly matters and things about Bismarck.

A hurricane in the West Indies a few days ago destroyed the entire colfee and cocoa crop and several towns and villa­ges.

There are 4<i0,UU0 houses in London and only 64,000 in Paris. London has more than Paris, Berlin, Vienna and New York.

The mixture which resulted in Ben Butler becoming the candidate of the Democratic party for governor of Massa­chusetts is called a political cocktail.

The St. Paul & Sioux City people talk of extending their road from Sioux Falls to the Black Hills, and will survey the line to a point on the Missonri this fall.

A Believer in HlfHarcK. A St. Paul writer (Thomas Dowse), in

the Chicago Commercial Advertiser has tliis to say of the Bismarck THIBUXE and its editor: * The Bismarck TiuurxE is an eight col­umn weekly folio of Republican politics, the first number of which was issued July 6th, 1873. It has since been continuously published under the management of Col. C. A. Lounsberiy, who was formerly con­nected with the Minneapolis Tribune. Col. Lounsberry went into lhe Union

The Governor of North Carolina has frequently been known to make a remark. This is the latest credited to Zeb Vance: "I know very little about finance. All I know is that it takes two names a sight better than mine to get money at a bank."

DAKOTA.

Beaiarka of Dakota's Soble OSd Gov­ernor mt the Territorial Fair The (ireitaem of the Vitire State Out­lined—Importance .rProtecting the School Fand—Wise Suggestions.

Front tlio IVc-t iad Da»ot!aa. Speaking of Dakota he said: It was llOt

simply great in the extent of its landed do­main and richness, but it was great in many other things. He knew no other re­gion of equal extent for which Providence had done more than for Dakota. It bad i been a enstom of the past to say of things I about which little was knowii that they were worthless. The geographies of only a short time ago, had put down a large portion of the United States as the great American desert, the badlands.the Rocky Mountains and several other things which

We would certainly Hare our trouble*, ccr trials, but perseverance, iodasliy *od hor-esty would surely win. _ .

a i.i uuki iibiihu ifteMiSMbn river here was r.0,0u0 acitS of he# laad St for

the plow, stretching from the Csasdi bor­der to the great river. Nearly ill tf lha was susceptible of Cultivation and WW.be­ing rapidly taken up. Five new ctm*ti^ had been organized, in Dakota anting tho past summer and all of them contains! the best land to' be fotlnd in anjr region. Prov­idence had in His wisdom held tho tide of settlentent until the time hafl Come and sow all could come withis oar bord* ere and possess the land: .

Congress had done a wike thing in set­ting apart the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections of every township for school pur­poses. The meaning ot this act waa that we were to have a population equal to aMj popalatioii far general intelligence, faOttesV and prosperity. Nine thousand Squ*n miles of o«r territory were dedicated to the cause of ednCtttlbn *nd,it was *iH» einn duty toprotectthe ftliiu In CQB16jAmi this source. The speaker remarked that' his speech might not seem much like an agricultural address, but in his optniofl this was a subject of vital importance tit agriculturalists. When the State oi Midi' igan was admitted, one scction in every township was set apart for school par-poses. When the speaker went to Detroit there was not a public*ebod In the Molt city, and now it had the finest free educa­tional system to be found. The last cen­sus returns showed that of the persons iti Michigan abo\ e the age of ten years only two per cent, were unable tt> re«l ami write. If Michigan could accomplish this with only one section of school land to it township, Dakota with its two sections shonld certainly be able to wi|>e out the two per cent, of Ignorance from among its people. In urging the subject of general education he aid not refer to the highef blanches of information, bat was treating upon the diffusion of a reasonable amount of practical knowledge among all classes. It should be laid down as a fundamental-rule that tlie liberty of a people couicJ be forced above its intelligence—ignorant men coufd neither be made free nor kept free. It was therefore of the highest im­portance that we be true to the educational trust given to us, that we be true to our­selves and worthy of tlie position we oc­cupy.

A stale, a territory, or a kingdom is not the land. The land was there before the state was organized. A slate was tb«? people and the institutions of the people, and the quality of freedom within a stale would be measured by the intelligence of those who made the stale, for liberty could not be enforced above common intelli­gence. The governor said that he was an old man, his race was nearly run and his ambition satisfied. He wauled nothing of the people, but wanted to aid them ii# moulding tlie institutions of their state. A close guard over educational interests would result in the best ot slate organiza­tions.

THE TWO XliRPHVS.

A good story is told of the Irish i dian Joe Murphy, who appealed in Oma­ha last wefik:

It was during the '-blue riblmn" excite­ment of last season, aud Joe was journey­ing to a small to-.vu in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. As the train .-trained into the depiit it was Iwarded by a half a dozen men, who. after a hurried conference witlf the conduct jr, approached the comedian with beaming faces.

-Mr. Murphy, I believe," said the spokesman, hat in hand.

"At vour service, sir," replied Joo.-Delighted to meet you, sir. We are conveyed an idea of their worthiessncss. _

As an illustration of the errors common among the people in regard to the condi­tion of the public domain, the speaker stated that Congress oncc passed a law giving 6.000 000 acres of land to the sol­diers of the war of 1812, 2,000,000 acres in what was then known in Missouri, 2.000,-000 acres in Illinois and 2.000,000 acres in -Michigan. Three years later the surveyor general reported that there was not 2,000,-000 acres of land in Michigan fit for cul­tivation—that it was a low. swamp region —that it would not be possible to lead a horse across the State—that there was not one acre in 1.000 fit for cultivation.

Being familiar from the start, as I am. with tlie obstacles he lias had to over­come in putting the TRIBCSE on its pres­ent basis, much as it is to his credit, I doubt not had he the choice of his exig­ence to go over again, he would prefer his five years lite in the tented field to his journalistic life of the last five. A royal Dakotian, a firm believer in Bismarck and all its grand possibilities, doing the work he has done for its development, at a time loo when its friends were lukewarm and when it was nol lhe style, lie made per­sistent, though at «lie time a seemingly thankless fight fortlie maintenance of ihose.

Jndge Bennett In Southern Dakota.

We find the following report ot a speech made by Judge Bennett in Lincoln county in a late issue of the Sionx Valley News:

Judge Bennett was introduced and made one of the best speeches we have listened to in many a day. He handled the "bloody shirt" business in a masterly manner. He showed that the Demr-cratic party was so ashamed of its record that whenever any allnsion is made to its past history a sore spot is touched and the cry ot "bloody shirt" was raised immediately. He re­moved all doubts that have existed in re­gard toa desire for division by the people of the Black Hills. He showed the utter folly of a division of the Territory, ana stated tliat the Hills people are bitterly opposed to any division as it would of necessity destroy all hope of becoming a 8tate for a long time.

Judge Bennett made an exceedingly good impression on the minds of his audi­ence.
