Democrats in this and other states where eongressm are to be chosen at the Xovember election should bear in mind a very important fact. .Without any mincing of words/the fact is this: If the republicans secure control of the next house of representatives - Dakota will be admitted, and that means two additional republican senators. It is useless to argue the merits of tho case or to show, as it could be shown, that Dakota ought not to come in. She will come in if our opponents carry the lower branch of congress. That fact alone ought to make every democrat go to the polls.

TJ TT^JST A history is full of cruelty, oppression, u OOiiXll tyranny, and all sorts of crime, with

few peaceful passages to note the advance of civilization. This very fact makes it dramatic and full of stirring incidents, and those who crave this kind of reading, or who desire to know tho history of Russia for its own sako, will iiml M. Rambaud's volumes well suited to their needs. He has taken vast pains to make his history both full and accurate; his stylo is nervous and'forcible, and he gives a graphic picture of the bloody centuries through which the Russian Empire rose. Ilis book lifts to a great extent the veil of mystery that liang3 over tho origin and growth of Russia.—Inquirer, Philadelphia.

to be ignorant of Russia—that Polar Bear which stretches one huge paw toward Constantinople and the other toward India— that " muffled destiny " of whose future no one knows save that it is to bo great and must affect to a remarkable extent tho condition of well-nigh the entire human race. No more weighty matter of debate exists among the nations than that which constitutes the " Eastern Question," and of this question the White Czar, representing territorially the greatest nation on earth and one of the strongest, most ambitious, shrewdest, far-seeing, and persistent, is the central figure.

Press and DakotUui Oct. tsth.

It is now announced upon authority so conclusive that the announcement goes for the truth that Attorney Gen­eral Jingle was in Yankton last week lor the purpose, of enquiring into the acts of the trustees of the southern in­sane hospital and that a contract for one hundred cords of soft wood was made the special object of investigation

| by that official. What tho attorney | general ascertained is not known to the

public. It is known that an affidavit was furnished him by .1. ,1. Felber, a wood dealer, but its purport is yet ollieial property.

| In connection with this movement | there is significance in the unusual act­

ivity of three members of the board of insane asylum trustees and their friends in setting up the pins for the coming republican legislative ticket tor this district. They labored assiduously along with the old gang to bring aliout the nomination of their friends for legislative positions and may be said in advance of the convention to have suc­ceeded. The combination has been successful in tho three counties of this legislative district and the final act at Parker to-morrow will be merely per­functory. The slate will bo ratified through the usual medium of packed caucuses, and if there is anything in the alleged causes which induced the in­vestigation by tho attorney general, tl-e election of the candidates presented by tho barker legislative convention is liable to culminate in a whitewashing prcccss.

Legislative matters in this district have fallen into the control of an offi­cial combination whien seeks not the interests ot the people, but rather the interests of individuals, and these indi­viduals put forth desperate eiforts in their own behalf, employing such as yield unquestioned allegiance to their methods and repudiating all who fail to iiccord complete subservience to their dictation. It is under conditions of this nature that those who favor politi­cal purity and tho good of the public are inclined to rebel against the domi­nation of a faction so seliish, and that their traditional loyalty to party re­ceives a chcck.

The representatives of the combina­tion will meet in l'arker to-morrow and in the name of republicanism will place before the voters of the second district a ticket long ago arranged in their secret conclaves and studiously kept from public inspection pending the extraordinary struggle for its suc­cess.

the v:iluable political adjuncts which his wife and his position furnish to his hand, it is believed that Mr. Clev«v land, and the family for that matter, ara not averse to a second term. Miss Cleveland, it is said, will leave her cditoiial throne by the pyramid of chops in the pork packing Venice of the Western Adriatic, and wear herTyrian purple gown at the white house recep-tionss.

The rumors concerning Secretary Lamar's marriage have condensed into facts. It has been formally announced by the Secretary that the wedding will take place in about a month. Mr. Lauiar is fitting up his new residence on X. St., for the reception of the bride. The structure, a plain red brick, is surpassed in simplicity by (lie houses of only two other cabinet officers.

Attorney Grncral Garland, who prides hmi.self on his democratic simplicity, occupies a severely simple little house. Although in the most fashionable part of the city, it is merely one of a long row of three story brick buildings, so unadorned that the windows look like lioles cut in the wall. The interior of the attorney general's home is as plain as the outside. Here, in the midst of tho social and political maelstrom of AVashington life, he lives a hermit like existence, and looks on everything with a philosopher's eve. It is strange that he ever accepted the position he now occupies, for any ono more averse to society, or even public life, except in a strictly business sense, can hardly be imagined. During his recent vacation he sought a quiet little village, and de­voted himself to huntiucr and fishing, lie received no visitors, read no news­papers; and was much surprised, on his return, to hear that there had been an earthquake, in Charleston. His family which consists of his mother and child­ren, accept no invitations, and give no entertainments. Ilis daughter and three sons display real talent for music, and are adapt performers on vajious instruments.

Next in order in regard to appear­ance, is tho recidence of the secretary of state. It is situated on a steep hill, and is difficult to reach. Probably the secretary in choosing such an inaecess-able location, reflected that it might be diseourageing to those modern Philistines, ollice seekers and bores.

Then comes Mr. Lamar's house, which is a little more attractive look­ing than either Mr. Garland's or Mr. Bayard's. The houses of Secretaries Whitney and Eudicott and of Post Master General Vilas are great improve­ments on the above mentioned, but .Mr. Manning's residence is the only one occupied by a cabinet minister that is really an elegant homo. It is a large, stately mansion, about a square from Mr. Maine's famous house.

The report that Secretary Eudicott is thinking about retiring from official life has been received with universal regret by the clerks of the war depart­ment, He is unexacting and a firm advocateDf the civil service laws, and every faithful clerk feels secure in his position under Mr. Endicott's manage­ment. lt is said, however, that the secretary does not like his duties, and the recent troubles between himself and General Sheridan, and again be­tween Generals Howard, Miles and Drum, has had the elfuct of turning him against anything relating to mili­tary matters.

\v;ts in this old building that the first instance of calling,in troops to quell legislators occurred in the country, away back m 'Gl. All of Wyoming was then in Dakota. Glory is but a dream and the dream has llown to trouble'15 ismarck.

The prosecuting attorney of Custer counry having taken a case before Judge Reno, and lost it, Informed his honor that if he had a gun he'd appeal the case by perforating the court with thirty-two caliber arguments.

Judge McCann, one of the mose prom­inent men' of Sully countv, has disap­peared and it is thought he h:is fled to Canada. He has appropriated funds entrusted to him and there is a long list of sulTerers. There is a feeling of universal regret and dissipolntment.

Two brothers named Cameron were at Aberdeen the other day looking for brother number three that they had not seen in nine years, who they were in­formed wiis at Aberdeen. Their search proved unavailing and they returned to their home discouraged and disheart­ened.

Among the features of the campaign in Cass county, it is charged that the young and agile superintendent of schools charged for 12,000 miles of travel the past year, and tliat the great­er part of the travel was due to visits to a charming lady teacher in the country, who is his best girl.

lousiness vs. ti:o Saloon.

EDITOR HEHALD:—I have been an interested witness of the struggle just ended in Hurley of the home against the saloon interest, in which the sal oon won the victory. It is a well known trait of humans to complacently tolerato great wrongs to which they have grown accustomed. After the 5apse of a quar­ter of a century it is difficult to realize that in this "land of the free" the whole people, except a little band of fanatics (so called) known as abolitionists, look­ed on with quiet unconcern while the tragedy of human slavery was being enacted in our midst; even more, the fiat of law made it a crime for one to assist in any way, even by the mercy of his silence, the wretched fugitive who was trying to escape to where his labor, his life and his loved ones might be his own, and not recognized as barter.

Is thero not a" old wrong in our midst over which we are sleeping to­day, tolerated simply because we are " accustomed to its face?" The shot that murdered Haddock reverberated through the land, not because he was a victim to the liquor interest but besause he was killed in an unusual way. Had the story of iiis death been that of the unsteady step, the bleared eye, the slow torture of the wife who must watch the change from idolized manhood to sot-hood, the gradual tightening of tho grip of poverty, the helpless little ones, and the dishonored grave ending all, his death would hardly have made a newspaper item. A saloon license is a legal permit to do this. Tho saloons of Sioux City must go then, not for killing Haddock, but for killing him in a way not licensed by law.

All admit that intemperance in the aggregate is a gigantic evil. The crime and misery that it entails is a thrice told tale admitted by all. I have yet to meet an advocate of the saloon interest who would attempt to deny that of its appalling work the half had never been told. I think I am not mistating the case in saying that thesaloon is licensed in the interest of business. Granted then, that business interests should be put above the home interests; granted that for the saKe of business we should make of men, drunkards, of homes hov­els, paupers of helpless children and widows of hopeless wives, but before making this sacrifice to our Moloch let us be very sure that his cause de­mands the assistance ol' our throats.

The reason, as 1 understand, for grant­ing a license to a saloon in Hurley in the face of the opposition of a two thirds majority of tho voters and all of the disfranchised, but equally interested adult residents, was that it would add impetus to the business of the town. Let us see how ? Hurley depends for her trade on the surrounding country, composed largely of farmers of moder­ate means, a large per cent of them with mortgages overshadowing the home of wife and little ones. All sum­mer long these farmers have tended their stock and crops for what (V) to buy luxuries or to hoard the money received for itV Not a dollar of it in the last named, and not a percipible per cent of it in the first mentioned way. The land was plowed, the crops sowed and harvested that needed improve­ments might bo made, or if already made, paid for; that needed machinery might be added to enlarge the farming operation the next year; that the win­ters clothing might be bought for the family. If crops were good, warmer and better clothing could be bought, than last year, and fruit, and more groceries could be afforded, some of last year's debts could be paid, and the interest on tho mortgage. The wife who has stood shoulder to shoulder with her husband in this struggle for. existance has a secret yearning to "fix up" the home and make it cozy and inviting; has dared to hope for a new carpet alter the harvest, and a picture, or more newspapers and books to exert a refining iniluence on the growing children, or, perhaps, coal could take the place of hay for the winter's fuel.

very dollar received in exchange for their marketed produce, is in the minds of both farmer and wife to bo quickly returned to the channels or trade for wealth in another form. Past my win­dow as I write the almost endless pro­cession of heavily laden wagons of pro­duce are rolling into town, for which the owners will receive a money equive-lent. Almost every dollar of this would go to the merchant, the dealer and the artizen of the town for lumber, coal, labor, clothing, or l'or debts already con­tracted, had not the business men of the town placed between themselves and their customers, waste pipes in the shape of saloons to draw this money oil before it reaches its legitimate uses. When those wagons go trundling home at night, tho one class of farmers goes back with grain exchanged for needed supplies at home or a receipted store bill, home to his wife with his breath as pure as her own; the other, after his drink and treating the boys, and the little game following, also spends his remaining money with the (lealers—if he has any left—and he concludes that times are hard and the old overcoat will have to do another year, and the children's clothes must be patched up instead of replaced by new. And after buying a little tea and a good deal of tobacco he goes home, having had a glorious time with " the boys," home to his wife, who fears the worst that is in store for her, and that he cannot run the gauntlett of the saloon. If the clothing, food, building material, coal, etc., that might, could, should, and had there been no saloon to swallow it up, would have been sold in the town since its comniencment, could this be piled up, visible to all, I think it would prick the hearts of those who have that organ located in the pocket-book. In a country having a class of residents who after buying every needed comfort, still have money that they scarcely know what to do with, the shadow of an- ex­cuse exists for tolerating the saloon in the interest of business; but in the northwest, of which Turner county is a type, where every farmer needs more and better buildings, more fences, more everything to make his farm yield larger and better returns, natur­ally the entire proceeds of the crop of tho countv, except for necessary inci­dentals, would go to the purchasing of these improvements, enriching the farmerTwho' bought and the dealer

who sold. Why, when their sales are governed solely by the purchasingpow-er of the money of their customers they should still farther deplete that money by just so much as is paid into the saloon, is one of those things past finding out. Another point, these pur­chased supplies that mutually enrich •both the farmer and dealer simply pave the way for more and better crops, that he may buy more largely each succeedsng year, farmer and merchant growing prosperous together; but with the saloon, the enriching is all one side. How small were the profits of fanning without necessary implements with which to carry it on, most ot our pio­neer can tell, but if the little surplus lroin that first crop bought a new plow next year's crop was better and the pro-tit larger, and so from small beginnings tho business grew till not a few of those pioneers who put their profits in­to their business now count their yearly income bv thousands of dollars. Had that first tiny surplus bought drinks instead ot a plow, next year's farming and next year's profits would have been no better. ICone so wild <ts to claim that the money spent at the bar helps a man to pay his debts, shelter his cattle, buys hismachinery.orin any way helps him to enlarge his business that he may add to his own and the county's wealth in the f uture. To sum it all up, leaving out th? question ot' right and wrong, is not the saloon in­terest a mighty Octopod clutching at the very throat of the business interests that cherish and protect it.
