To Farmers.
Farmers should look well [to their own
interest, for it has become apparent to all
that some change in the present method
of farming whereby we may receive an ad
equate return from our labor. Experience
for the past seven years in the
Territory
has forced Jus to this conclusion, that
change is absolutely necessary for our fu.
turc prosperity and until^tliis is brought
about we may reasonably expect every few
years to meet with adversities and our
reasons for this assertion arc these: That
no country has ever reached any great de
gree of prosperity which has made grain
raising its exclusive business all statistics
will warrant this assertion. Although they
mav appear to flourish, and perhaps do for
a period, but in tho end have to admit it
is a failure. Minnesota perhaps has been
the most successful in wheA raising but
with this State that method of farming is
fast losing favor, while with other States
it has disappeared altogether. Other
pursuits seem impracticable tomany, while
we admit its inconvenience just at present,
but these inconveniences "with reasonable
efforts will disappear In a few years. One
planwould.be and we invite those who
hold differently and think their ideas be
of interest to the farming community—for
from them this country looks ,for prosper
ity, will do a favor to their friends by let'
ting them be known :^To begin with, for
the next year'we must diversify our crops
and raise less wheat and more corn, oats,
barley, rye/ fiax and eta, and at the earli
iest possible time commcnco to raise stock
of all kinds. But says one ^'what can we
feed stock on when our grain is all de
stroyed and we have no means of fencing
for stock." We admit this will be some
inconvenience at first but start on a small
scale and you will not feel the change
from 2 or 3 head of cattle to *20. Keep
mostly young cattle and keep them.'.in
herd during the summer your cows, you
can easily manage at home. Hogs will
doubtless prove the most profitable here in
the future it requires less fencing and the
returns from them is very quick, but here
the same question is raised, "what will we
feed them on when our corn is all destroy,
ed that can be easily overcome in this
way: Rye and barley are almost sure
crops here, if sown early, are out Jf the
way before the grasshoppers come, and
are equally good for horses as corn when
you fiave once raised a good crop of this
grain, keep a year's supply on hand for
what hogs you have, 'and as your means
increase, replenish your stock. Cultivate
less land and do it better. With good hay
and warm stables and very little grain,
your horned stock will do well. Don't let
any manure lay in your barnyard, but haul
it out on your land and it will bring you an
equivalent of one dollar per load in twelve
months. And let every man that has land
plant at least 1,000 trees every year, which
will, at the end of ten years prove the most
profitable of all his labors, and will cost
but little besides his time. With a prac
tice similar to this, in ten years we will be
placed among the most prosperous of
people and our now boundless prairies
will be checkered with groves and wealth

We have probably, all of us, met with
instances in which a word heedlessly spok

been magnified by malicious minds, until

are accustomed, not necessarily from bad
motives, bnt from thoughtlessness, to
speak lightly of ladies we reccomend these
"hints" as worthy of consideration: Never
use a lady's name in an improper place, or
in a mixed company never make assertions
about lier that you think untrue or allu
sions that you feel she herself would blush
to hear. When yon meet with men who
do not scrutinize to make use of a wo.

HAYES AND TILDEN.—A Comparison
T^he publication of slanderous charges
against Governor Hayes in relation to his
tax returns has served one good purpose:
It enables the people to contrast the coif,
duct of the opposing candidates for the
Presidency. Tilden was charged with
peijury in this that in 1863 he made a
false return of his income for the year
1862, and made oath to the truth of the
statement. These are the facts: On the
28th of December, 1863, Tilden swore
that his income, from all sources for the
jrear 1862 was |7,118. Since his nomina
tion he has been compelled to answer to
the charge »f embezzlement as trustee at
the suit of the'Alton, Terre Haute and St.
Louis Railway Company. In his answer
he swears that he received from the com
pany as fees in the year 1862 $20,000/ thus
unwittingly convicting himself of the
crime of perjury in 1863. What is his ex
planation This, and nothing more, from
his private secretary, namely: that the
railway fee was earned by a service cover
mg-a penod of four or five years, and that
therefore only a portion of it was includ-1
ed in the income return for 1862. But the!
explanation is negatived by the sworn
statement of Tilden, which appears in the
same case, that he undertook the service
for which he received a fee of $20,000 in
the year 1861. Let us turn to Governor
ayes. The Democratic party, driven to
an extremity by the terrible-plight of its
candidate, made the charge that Governor
Hayes had, for the years 1874, 1875, and
1876, falsified his returns of property sub
ject to taxation under the laws of the
State of Ohio. The facts adduced did'not
bear "out the charge as preferred, but Gov
ernor Hayea hastened to reply to it fully
and firanklv by an exhibit showing con
clusively tnat, so far from it being a fact
that any part of his property had escaped
taxation, or any part of it had been under
valued, all of it had been overvalued.—
This exhibit is corroborated by the sworn
affidavits of parties familiar with all the
facts. The difference between the cases,
respectively, of Hayes and Tilden is this:
The charge against Hayes was a slander,
and the fact that it was'a slander has been
proven while the charge against Tilden
was true, and that it was true was proven
at the time the charge was made, by the
sworn statement of Tilden himself.. The
charge against Hayes was unsuppdHed by
evidence, but it was promptly met and si
lenced. Outside evidence has been adduc
ed which confirms absolutely the truth of
his sworn tax returns for the years 1874,
1875 and 1876, and the charge? are dispos
ed of. But the charge of peijury When
made against Tilden was supported by ev
idence of the most conclusive character,
and the most diligent and persistent ef-
BLACK HILLS.
There has been considerable agitation
of the question of organizing counties in
the Black Hills, and there has also been a
strong pressure upon the Governor of the
Territory to move in the matter by ap
pointing the necessary officials and start
ing the machinery of organization in run
ning order. No one has been more anxious
than Governor Pennington to relieve the
industrious communities of that section of
the chaotic condition in which they have
existed, far as civil government is concern
ed but he seriously questioned the legal
ity of the steps which he would be called

An amusing stoiy is told on one of Kid
der's enthusiastic admirers who lives some
where near the southeast corner of Lincoln
county, which runs in this way: Some
days before the town caucus, this worthy
devotee had been doing considerable "but.
ton-holing" on the sly. But while on the
way to the herd, leading his cow, a whis
per was borne to his ears on the wings of
gossip, that a certain Hugli&s man had
been seen going across the- prairies. This
was sufficient. The rest of the story was
plain to him for what business had a
Hughes man going across the prairies, un
less it was to skirmish a little for Capt.
Not a moment was to be lest Leaving
his cow to care for herself, he Btarted for
the supposed seat of war, walking rapidly
at first, then breaking this gait and adopt
ing onejnore suitable to his excited imag
ination. Arriving at neighbor A.'s in
rather a sweltered condition, he found no
evidence of the rumor but not stopping
to think, he went with a hop and jump un
til he arrived at neighbor B.'s in an ex
hausted condition, unable to go farther
and not being able to get home, Mr. B.
kindly hitched up his team and took him
home to his family who had became

restoratives brought him around as good
as new, while his supposed adversary was
busily engaged plowing, regardless of all
around him passing. We would state for
the benefit of the short-winded gentleman,
that a Uttle more exercise will be necessary

Hit Excellency, John L. Pennington, Gov
ernor of Dakota:
Sib:—I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter dated the 16th
inst., enclosing one to you from Mr. A. H.
Simonson,dated at Dead
wood, in the Black
Hills country, who suggests the propriety
of organizing county governments in that
section of Dakota Territory, and to state
in reply that, in the judgement of this de
partment no such governments can be le
gally established in that country.
The white inhabitants of the Black Hills
are there not only without authority of
law, but in actual violation of law, and so
long as that section of the country is set
apart as an Indian reservation, it would be
manifestly improper and unlawful to auth
orize the setting up therein of any form of
civil government for the citizens of the
United States.
I am, sir very respectfully, your obedi
ent servant, tf

CO-OPERATION
Organize! In all spheres of human

jcess. Bfothing can be accomplished in
politics without organii&tion0j oiganiza
tion is essential to progressive work in the
church the cause of eduacation is depen
dent for its advancement upon systematic
organization {every industrial enterprise
must have large dependence upon the or
ganization that ia &eUnd it war, wi£fccut
organization, would never terminate oth
erwise than in defeat If Is a singular fact
however, that the organizations effected
among men seldom extend to the every-day
affairs of life. Onlyfour larger cities main
tain co-operative svstems among the busi
uess and industrial classes ana these or
ganizations, it must be said, are more for
the crushing out of the weak than for the
upbuilding and strengthening of the com
munity as a whole.
It is a sony truth that the number of
people, in whatever sphere of life who
have even the remotest conception of their
highest good.il* wofully small, in seeking
to promote their interests they ate quite aa

—Delegate Kidder drew the bill for the

Minnesota, because he desired to bring it
np first in the republican branch of ooi
gress for action, knowing that it would b©^
killed by the democrat house before there
was time to bring its merits upon the at

gresa from a territory has no voice in the
senate, hence the only way in which tU
Pembina bill could have wen first brough'
before that body was to induce a senatov
to adopt it This Mr. Windom cheerfully
did, and in ten days after delegate Kid
der's house speech on die subject was laid
before the members of the senate the bill
was paased bv (hat body. The idea that
ex- Delegate Armstrong had anything to
do with the bill or its passage Is one of
the absurdities w$ich creep into democrat
literature when there is nothing else to
brag about Mr. Armstrong never favored
Kidder's action on this subject, was not ia

PROSPECTS OP PEACE.
The bloody and unequal strife which
has raged with inch unparalleled ferocity
in and about the confines of Servia seems
to be as far removed from a pacific settle
ment as ever. While the Turks have not
proclaimed themselves victors by any
great and decisive battle, they are so nr
masters of the situation Oat any farthsr
resistance upon fhe side of the Servians
must eventually lead to scenes of massacre
unparalleled in ihe world's history. The
Turks have proved themselves a military
power of no mean caliber, although they
have dyed their colors in the Mood of in
nocent women and children. Prince Mil
an has placed, his case in the hands of the
powers, wfaOe the Porte, witha greatmeasr 'f
ore of reason and dignity, has demanded
that he shall address his demand* far*
peace directly to the Turkish Government
It is veiy certain that the Porte will not
consent to "withdraw from a contest pram*
ising every hope of victory, and gratifica
tion of religious malice, without a pretty
round sumln the way of indemnity.
The latest dispatches announce the ds
position of the Suitan Murad and the ds
