THE Klff ERl'lUSE, WEDNESDAY; JULY 24. 1889-
, Jbc-Gov. 'FoeTEB Is tow doiDg what
good be can araeng the Indian tribes on
i the frontier.
The authorities in Cincinnati have a
hard time of It to compel the law-breakers
'to respect the Sabbath.
The Auditor of Warren county has is-
-Bued too many orders on the Treasurer
and used the money to cancel private ob
ligations, lie is now in Canada.
! VlCK-rBBSlDBNT Hutr-EH, of the late
Fidelity bank, of Cincinnati, who is now
serving a term o! ten years in the pent
tentlary at Columbus, has petitioned Pres.
ident Harrleon for a pardon.
The Democratic press docj not appear
to settle upon anyone for a nominee for
, Governor. Campbell, ot Duller, appears
to be the fuvorile of a portion of tbe
' southern part of the State, but still he
lack the proper endorsement to become a
leader. Even the moral Joseph Zimmer
man, of Sandusky county, is thinking of
dropping the Senato'iul race and looking
for Gubernatorial honors. - The party
: wants to be sure and not select a tax de
linquent this time.
Mns. Habrison complains that the exec
utive mansion has become a retreat for
office seekers, and tbe domestic circle of
the President's family has become dis
turbed. We have claimed, lor some time
past, that the White House should be used
for an office and the Government should
provide the President with a private resi
dence. A building adequate for an exec
utive office and mansion eighty-nine years
go, when we only enumerated three and
a half .millions of people, it can hardly be
expected would meet the demands now.
We hope that Congress will attend to the
matter at the coming session and appro
prlate hind for tbe erection of a mansion
in keeping with the times and; then
the executive can enjoy that quietness
out of business hours which he 1 Justly
entitled to.
G eb xxal Joes Biattt, of Columbus,
appears to be pursuing a very etrange
course toward the party to whom he is
indebted for all of hi political honor.
Every change which take place in an ad
ministration new men usually take the
, mas of government, and they have plant
already matured to be enforced Just as
toon as they are seated. These plan have
been decided upon after mature delibera
tion, and like every other business are sub
ject to trial It may prove to be Just the
plan to govern the country In Outclass
shape, and they may prove detrimental or
an entire failure, although the executive
may have acted In tbe best ol faith. Gen
eral Beattydoes not appear to be willing
to permit an executive to frame opinions
of hi own. If be departs from the line
of policy that he (Beatty) advocates they
at once become of no benefit to the coun
try whatever. In electing men to office
we must not expect this. They are en
titled to their own ideas; and when we
have reason to believe that tbe steps are
honestly taken, we should move slow to
censure and await patiently for good re
suits, and not open np rebellion in our
ranks. Tbe acts of one Individual should
not effect tbe principles of a party. The
General has ibown hi weakness In the
past few years by his acts towards the Re
publican party, and If the Democratic
party has any use fur him we will ask
them to take him off our hands. Beatty,
the kicker, is excused.
Mr. Horr Respectfully Declines,
"East Saoikaw, Mich, July 10.

tary of State, Washington :

Mr. Horr ha shown hi good sense in

sand dollars, and it could not be expected
that a man of hi standing would

Our Dakota Letter.
Gbaxd Rapids, K. Dai, July 13, 1889.
Cditar of the iHTiirxin:-
Talmage said in a recent sermon, "My
' dear madam, what do you mean by going
bout the world with diaenheartmeotsf
la not the stpply of gloom and trouble
and misiortone enough to meet the de
mand without your running a factory of
spike and pin t Why should yon plant
black and blue in the world where God so
seldom plants itr Etc, etc. Now a
tense oi this in my heart all these days Is
my reason for this delay in writing a
letter. Were I the possessor of a home
on the banks of the Hudson, whose bean-
. tie are sung by the poet, described by tbe
tourist and ever relished by a restless,
feverish public; or during these sultry
July days, were I among the many who
re resting and recuperating "Among (he
, Height" in the Yosemite valley, or
' enjoying the picturesque scenery at our
own Yellowstone Park; were I camping
at some lake-aide retreat where the gentle
lapping of the waves on the shore would
soothe the tired nerves and cool tlie lever-
brow with a delicious sense of peace and
rest; In fact were I in almost any other
place than on this sun-scorched and
drouth-stricken prairie, I might be auie to
write you something interesting. I have
put it off from day to day until they have
dragged themselves into weeks, hoping
that tbe morrow would bring tbe bounti-
ful rains so long desired, but our worst
fears are realized, ud should they come
now, they would be too late to save tbe
crops and could only benefit the pasturaae
(which is very short) and meadows, and
perhaps bring on late sown millet and
potatoes.
If any of your readers imagine they
could write an interesting article as re
freshing as the sight of "scarlot and pink
flowers," with the mercury at 102 and a
hot wind blowing from the south, I
extend to tbem a cordial invitation to
come here. Sit at the desk as
now am and look out upon tbe parched
ground, brown and bare in places, fairly
glistening under the scorching sunlight.
See the fields and fields of dying and dead
grain, remembering the expenso it has
been to put it in, and the hopes it has
blasted by its death. Look where the
meadow hay was wont to wave in billow
of darkest green, standing three feet high,
and see tbe short, yellow-fringed sickly
grass. Beyond this I see Charlie driving
the herd to the river for water, and the
thought is forced upon mjf mind, where
will the winter's feed, with to little bay
and straw, come from ? I see more "black
and blue" than "scarlet and pink."
I think tbe failure of the crop this
season is the more of a disappointment on
account of 'he high hopes entertained
universally by the people here of an
unusually prosperous season. Wheat was
sure to be firm in price. After the heavy
rain ot lost summer, the fall was very
dry, and very little snow during the
winter. The spring wa dry and very
windy, though the wind did not create
the havoc here that they did in the Red
River valley, where one friend aaid he
put in teed on the tame ground four
times, and Dalrymple, the famous wheat
raiser, re seeded 10,000 acres; but we bad
it windy enough to dry the soil out, and
have only had two or three light shower
dnee. Naturally people looked for rain
in Jane and July, which are really the
rain most essential, but we are atill
looking.
We do not doubt the wisdom of our
Creator, but could we have shared the
"surplus moisture" of the;mountainou
district of Pennsylvania, what Joy it
would have brought to a deserving people
here, and perhaps averted that most ter
rible of calamities. Fortunately for us
we are In a grazing district not equaled
by any other part of the county, but tbe
outlook for a winter's supply Is anything
but bright It U id that all sign fall in
a dry time, and I can verify it. Cloud in
the east and In the west, to the north and
to the south of us, but they would be
scattered by a closely following wind, or
be blown twlftly over. Mooni would
wax and wane without a sprinkle of rain.
All the whim sad signs of my grand,
father's days, which I considered infalli
ble In Ohio, fail In this drouth.
A picnic was beld in the grove on the
river bank at Grand Rapid, July 4th,
which was largely attended by people
from all parts of the county. Good
speeches, good music and a good dinner
made, the day pass very pleasantly. For
a time tbe drouth and its discouragements
were forgotten, and all gave themselves
up to the enjoyment of tbe day. I heard
srveral replies to the question "How is
your wheat looking T" One man said "My
name is Dennis;" another, "My goose is
cooked and a third, "I'm euchred, that's
all." Could a foreigner have told how
their wheat looked? I inferred from
their manner that their wheat wu poor.
In answer to the queries, "am I sick V
Ye; heart lick. And yet we ought to be
grateful that we have suffered no greater
loss than a crop, when so many direful
calamltie are befalling other places.
With life and health what may not await
us in the future t It is too dry and windy
even for the imagination to soar with
safety. It I don't contract tome spinal
disease or become "moon-eyed" from
watching overhead to tee which way the
clouds are going, I'll write soon again.

Washington Letter.
(From oar Regular Compooletit.
Washington, July 19, 1889.
The President returned to Washington
Wednesday, held a cabinet meeting on
Thursday beside transacting a consider
able amount of other business, and this
afternoon or to-morrow be will go to Deer
Park again, and the chance are that
Washington will see him no more for
some weeks, be having almost decided to
bold tbe few cabinet meetings that will
be necessary between now and September
at Deer Perk. He finds that be can do
a great deal more work at Deer Park than
in the White House. Mra Harrison came
with the President. She is not feeling
very well and thought the trip might
benefit ber, and beside she wanted to
look after tome domestic matters. She
returns to Deer Park with the President
Pension Commissioner Tanner baa de
cided to reorganize the medical division
of hit office. Several medical examiner
who were democrat were dismissed this
week and more are to follow shortly. It
to neediest to say that their successors
will in every cue be good republicans

He has leased a residence next door to
one recently! leased by Chief Justice

Office Department has been quite ill for
some days. He has been taken to Deer
Park by order of hi physician.
Hon. W.B. Richie, of Lima, Ohio, who
was in Washington this week, is a demo
crt.t but he openly acknowledges his fear
of Foraker In the coming gubernatorial
.
election, and he doet not stop there. He
says that if Foraker is elected he will be
tbe republican candidate for President in
1802. It is very kind of this gentleman
to save tbe republican oarty the trouble of
selecting Its candidate in 1893. It's rather
eariv to be making predictions, but from
the wav things look at this time, tbe
name of the republican candidate in 1802
will be Banjamin Harrison.
Tbe Ohio republican association held
an enthusiastic Foraker ratification meet
ing this week. Sixth Auditor Coulter,
the man who recently demanded the re
signation of every democratic chief of
divlsoni in hit office, was the speaker that
pleased the "boys" most.
Secietary Noble says that all tne talk
about the cattle companies making a lease
with the Cherokee Indians and prevent
ing the government from opening the
Cherokee strip for settlement, is tbe
veriest bosh.
The attempt on the part ol Secretary
Blaine's enemies to mak him out such a
sick msn that be must resign proved as
big a failure as it predecessors of the
same kind. These absurd rumors are be
coming monotonous. . ,
Secretary Windom will spend his vaca
tion at Deer Park in order to be where
the President can easily cousult him about
important financial matters while pre
paring his message to Congress.
