Even if tbe 1300,000 had been raised, there is no certainty that the villains would have stood by their offer to accept that turn. They might, in view of the possibilities of the situation, have insisted npon the payment of a clean 91,000,000. . And that sum raised, what would have prevented them from raising the figures to $2,000,000.

Paul Strobach is the member of the Republican national committee for Alabama and a United States marshal. An officer of tbe depart ment of justice says that he is also a thief, and a speciel agent of the department reports him guilty of peculation. In the course of Brewster Cameron's enquiry into the moral status of the Southern marshals, Strobach's "accounts were examined into. Enough was dis covered to excite suspicion, and it was evident to the authorities in can still be happy and victorious with Connecticut, California, Flor ida and Virginia. In all these calculations Ohio is counted for the Republicans as one of the "cer tain" States. If the Republcan party can be content and happy with this kind nt figuring and prognostication, the Democrats ought not to feel the slightest de gree of alarm. There is about as much chance for the Republicans carrying Florida, North Carolina Virginia as there is for bridging to the moon, and 2?ew York and Indiana are as certain to go with tbo Democrats as Iowa is to con tinue with the Republicans. Even in Ohio the Democrats have a more than even chance for win ning, and California is so well pleased with her Democratic rule that she is perfectly content to continue it indefinitely. Only tbe most reckless blundering can de feat the Democracy next year, and what is of importance nuder tbe circumstances is that the party is in no humor to permit of any counting out frauds. proving successful.

One one of tbo easiest tbings to do in tbis world is for a partisan newspaper orgau to figure it out, a year or two in advance of the electiou, bow its party will win. One of the most difficult things to do's to keep the ballots-in line with tho figuring. Here is the Philadelphia Pre, unreasoning Republican, demonstrating by fig ures and god many "ifs," how: his party will win next jear. The way it fixes the business is about aa follows: The electoral vote having been increased from 3C9 to 401, a majority will be 201; should the States vote as they did in 18S0, The Republicans would have 223 and the Democrats 173. The Preu generously admits there are three States that were Republican in second error. Tbo thing, however, is past and gone, and let it pass.

It is under stood that their joint capital for in vestment in the enterprise amounts to the substantial sum of $17,000, one of them alone giving $10,000. The have not decided upon the location of tbe paper, but it will be published in either Charlotte Greensboro or Raleigh. Most like ly the first named place will be se lected. The new champion is wel come to the ring. The Democratic editors are almost starved, and the bigger the Liberal paper, the bet tbo meal it will make. or Dakota, river, 363 miles west of St. Paul. Here is concentrating the business of a large extent of country. The Northern Pacific Company is far-seeing in its policy of securing and facilitating all pos sible business within its reach. Northward from Jamestown is tbe Devil Lake region, including the upper valleys of the Cheyenne, Mouse and James rivers, and the level plain around (he laker which is very rich and productive. A branch road is now building from Jamestown to penetrate, this upper country which will increase the business and wealth of this region for many years to come. Wheat by millions of bushels will soon be coming down this branch road, and in return will be sent all the multitude of articles called for to fill the wants of our civilization. The valleys of the Cheyenne and James rivers are very narrow, but the upland is very productive and preferred to the valley for general farming, Many of the finest farms ib Dakota are located on this un dulating upland, and there are more signs of thrift aud activity than any where else on the line of the road. Tbis section seems to be occupied by a class of farmers above tbe average American in in telligence, aud will soon be the foremost in solid wealth and mate rial power. I r Jamestown lis quite a favorite place to organize exploring parties with destinations varying from 50 to 300 miles in distance. During my stay there was not a day but one or more parties started out or returned. From the return parties I learned much that was valuable to me in getting a knowledge of the country. My much travelling was of great use to me here, much the larger portion of the explorers being from Suites in which I had traveled, and we could always find some place familiar to us as standard of comparing what they had seen in their explorations. These parties were often composed of a dozen men from as many States, and would each oue see aud think of the same thing from a dif ferent standpoint, and it was ofUn conflict ing, contradicting and exaggerated accouuts of a given place or tbiug. Those expeditions are very enjoy able as well as instructive. Men from West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and other eastern States are lost when on a treeless plain and rarelj keep their polarity straight, and the idea of camping out on a prairie with nothing in sight to burn seems impossible, while their prairie companions from Illinois, Iowa I or elsewhere, will astonish them by bringing out their oil-lamp coffee pots and oil lamp tew kettles, und soon have a hot supper and a warm tent, and will light fires by matches in a funnel shaped paper amid rain and wind as readily as in a close room. Among the mountains tho thing is reversed. The eastern moun taieeer has to take the prairie man in charge, and keep his polarity on the meridian, and keep him from climbing a mountain all at once and judging the distance from one hill-top to another by prairie meas urement. A short run westward from Jamestown we enter the hills and find what is called Mouse River Pass, a valley; 13 miles wide and 50 long, with a deep, rich, sandy soil, exceedingly productive, and thickly dotted over with small, clear lakes that give a double charm to the delightful surrounding. . Settlements are being made very rapidly, and for 15 or 20 miles on either side of the road the land is being entered or claimed and pur chased from the railroad, and by the close of the year all the val ley and much of the adjacent up land will be occupied and ready for came; their trans can ue white m seen on efery side winding among tbe hills,!! across tbo valley and Btreams, their wallows in places covering j hundreds of acres, and their bones still whiten many of the hills, but are being gathered in largo quantities for shipment to be ground into bone dust. This part of tho State has many historic and p re-historic locations. Many interesting incidents, adven tures, escapes, battles with beasts and i savages and feats of hardy daring in past years occurred iu this vicinity. In all probability in the forgotten past this region was densely populated with a half civ-, ilized race! of men and from pres ent indications it will soon be filled with active millions again, who will not know when they disturb the dust of their forgotten prede- sions and railings of humanity. which religion aims to conquer. -4- TfaeiBrotrna Ahead.
