Jamestown Capital: When Ignatius
Donnelly announced his candidacy for the
presidency of the Minnesota stnto farmer's
alliance he invited the arrows of opposition
and persecution, and they have been flying
about him thick and fast, but he is hurling
them back in a way that makes his villifi
ers wince and confounds his adversaries.
With either tongue or pen he is a mighty
host in and of himself. He can adjust
himself to meet his enemies on any ground
they choose. If argument, they find him
inexhaustible if sarcasm, they find him aj
two-edge sword if denunciation, they find
him loaded with invective that would with
er a pine tree nt a range of fifty yards. As
a sample of tho latter the following conclud
ing sentences of his rejoinder to the charge
that he had a deal with the republican
state committee last yoar while he profes
sed loyalty to the alliance ticket, and that
he had begged the nlliancc executive com
mittee not to expose him. Ho says: "I
now beg them to lay baro any and all facts
that would justify this slander. I defy
them to do so. Some of that committee
were my enemies, some were my friends
honest men or rogues, I challenge them all,
or any one else, to coino forward with a
tittle of evidence to sustain any such
charge. These are lies, gross and astonish
ing enough to turn the daylight pale. The
man who could invent them must find dif
ficulty, from natural propulsion, in keep-
ing out of hell long enough to finish his
be called greenback, prohibition, farmers'
'lianse or any other name. It says the
iers' alliance i* much stronger in the
han in the north, nnd that while it

of the delegates to the Ocnla
'hat section expressed it,

^atrician stock. In South
.jo Hampton, ono of the old
dcmoc.il ti and confederate
j), was succeeded in the United
es senate by Irby who came upon the
age of action too late to be a rebel but
is credited with killing four men, remain
ing a fugitive from justice in Texas for a
year and baroly escaping the gallows nt his
trial for murder on his return. The Inter
Ocean says if the Ocala convention was
not gotten up in tho interest of the deino-
cratio party it fell into that rut before it
had gone very far. Whilo there are ro- *J«hn Hagart, A,
publican members of the alliance in the Osgood, r.

there is [a large area of ground for the
Chicago paper's view of the subject never
theless.
The Jamestown, N. D., Alert tolls the
following story of how a farmer saved 10
cents a bushel
his wheat by shipping it
direct to Duluth: "Henry Vessey had a I
carload of wheat at the Eldridge sidetrack
not very long ago. He states iie was offer
ed by the mill a price and a grade which Hill, r.
he did not consider enough by any means.
The elevator at Eldridge would oiler but
^pttle better, viz: No. 2 northern with
ponnds dockage per bushel. The elevator
price made his wheat worth 66 cents. He
knew his grain was worth more, but what
can a North Dakota farmer do to protect
himself, confronted as he is in this state
by obstacles on every side? The only
thing is to get a car, either by favor or
good luck, from the railroad company, and
ship his grain to commission men. This
is what Mr. Vessey was able to do and to
day when he received the returns from his
venture, he was delighted to find that his
him, with all expenses paid, 75 cents a
bushel. He saved nearly ten cents a bush
el, money that he can use for his family
and himself instead of giving it as a trib
ute to the elevator companies whose nets
are spread in every direction for victims,
like himself.
An exchange says when men are as good
aa their obituaries, and women as good as
OH think they are, then the recording
angel can take his long needed vacation.
Yes, bat when this state of affairs come
abont, the recording angel shall have
grown so old in service of the cause as to
be entitled to a prominent position on the
xetired list and draw a back pension.

Minneapolis Times: A little incident
that has just occurred in Ontario, Canada,
will havo a tendency to make mercantile
agencies more careful in furnishing re
ports of business credits. The supreme
court of that province has just affirmed a
judgment of $2,000 against such an agency
in behalf of a small merchant whoso finan
cial credit and reputation were temporari
ly ruined by ono of these rsports to a sub
scriber. Tho court absolutely rejected the
"privileged communication" plea of tho
mercantile agency, and declared that it
was under the same obligation not to
slander people as every citizen is under.
There is a very gratifying exhibition of
straightforward justice and fairness of
spirit in this decision, which will general
ly commend itself, especially as tho victim
in the case is stricken down without having
an opportunity even to defend himself.
The postmaster-general has notified
postal inspectors to use to the extreme
limit their right to open any letters which
in their opinion containe matter pertaining
to lotteries. This is rank despotism and
gives certain ones authority to rifle the
mail at pleasure and does away with the
secrecy and safety of this Important de
partment. If the postmaster-general can
spare the time from the lotteries he can do
work up this way which would be appre
ciated, as tho postal service on this line
seems to be somewhat "out of whack."—

Fargo Argns: Ezra Mead, one of the
oldest and best known citizens of Dan
bury, Connecticut, was frozen to death
last Friday night "within a stone's throw
of his home, and but three feet from the
door of his next neighbor." How these
poor wretches of the east are to be pitied!

earthly and in, famous career. The infer- hanging high!
nal gates yawn for tho wretch." The farm-
era' alliance of Minnesota, in tho war of its
factions, the one led by Donnelly and the
other by Hall, may have tho good effect of
making the politicians of the old parue:
ashamed of themsolves, and may lead to
reform in that respect.

The close of a year is a poor time for
good resolutions, but it is an excellent
time for good actions. It is late for plan
ning, but it is just right for performance.
Now is the time to be and to do, even
though the hours are too precious to waste
in thinking about being and doing.

the Missouri river, and adjoins Burleigh connty
on the north. It covers an area of 928 square miles, and contains 614,120 acres of the
finest quality of farming land. The soil is a rich black loam, from eighteen inches to
three feet in depth, with clay subsoil, and is capable of producing enormous crops of
cereals and vegetables it also has fine grazing and meadow lands, oielding nutritious
grasses in abundance.
WASHBURN, the county seat, is admirably located, being on a beautiful plateau at
the '"Big Bend" of the Missouri river, and commanding an excellent view of the rivor
for several miles in cach direction. Several mail and transportation lines diverge
from here, and it is the most important point on the Bismarck, Washburn & Coal
Harbor Steam-Packet Line. It is also the terminal point' of the projected Aberbeen,
Bismarck & Northern railroad, now merged into the great
uSoo"
All kinds of building material, excellent blue sandstone, good timber, and fine clay
for brick-making, can be found in the immediate vicinity of Washburn, and have been
used extensively by the citizens of the county. An excellent quality of brick, as well
as the best of lime, are manufactured on the outskirts of the town.
Washburn has a fine courthouse and jail, two large hotels, a substantially built
50-barrel flour mill, three general stores, a blacksmith and wagen shop, and a number
of substantial residences.
OUR COAL FIELDS.
McLean county is noted for its extensive coal fields, which underlies nearly its en
tire area. In fact, there is coal enough in McLean county alone to supply the state
of North Dakota with fuel for half a century. It is found in all parts in stratas vary
ing in thickness from three to fifteen feet, and it is a matter of but a short time when
this coal will yield an immense revenue to tho enterprising owners of the land.
The extensive stock ranges, the superior agricultural lands, and the cheap fuel in
wood nnd coal, of McLean county offer the greatest inducements to settlors.
