states that several mortgages have been

siantly chasing after the star of empire.

ically to the wants and necessities of the
settlers of the boundless prairie, then
would seem to bo everything to iuduc6
the immigrant hither to make this bis
everlasting abiding place and be ie
coming. He is coming by train and by
prairie schooner, and by any and everv
coucoivablo means of transportation that
pioneer ingenuity can devise. He is
coming iu such numbers that he adds
75,000 to her population every twelve
month, aud from the handful of people
who were here when your correspondent
first visited the Territory in 1878, she
can now boast of n population greater
by far than either Colorado, Ddaurre,
Florida, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Vermont or New Hampshire. That is
the way n Western Stato grows. This
population is composed of the ambitious
portion of those who havo met discour
agement iu agricultural pursuits where
there was no agriculture to pursue, as
iu sterile New England, whose horny
handed yeomanry make up a portion of
tho best slock of this new country. Aud
New York and Penujslvauia have for
warded their thousands who have been
accustomed for a generation to the viois
situdes of farming upon a less fertile
soil. Wheat-growing Canada pours ber
teas of thousands upou us, armed with
tho experiences nnd nrmored with the
ncclimatlju that welcomes the coldest ol
the northern blizzards.
What tbo population of Dakota will be
at tho time of the next census, no human
being cau surmise, because there is no
basis for a calculation. The towns that
spring up ns if by uipgio on every, baud,

Everywhere tho newspaper and the bank
and tho church, and tbeschoolhouse.and
the railroad, and the telegraph, and all
the indications of American civilization
aro being instituted, and the vast region
comprising what is known ns Southern
Dakota presents every indication of an
old settled Stale. Tbd exhibits of the
grain, vegetable, and other products of
Dakota made by the Northern Pacifio
llailroad from year to year nt the Chicogo

ordinary attractions for tbo public eye,
for there are stalks of corn thirty feet in

there seems to be n need of doctors, as
thcro is n demand for lawyers and other
necessary evils or .ion-producers. Thir
ty of the Saw-bones bang out their signs
right here in Bismarck, and If they in

wo shall have thirty additional. Of
lawyers there are any number, but they
arc generally engaged in the renl-estato

Oue of the first settlers iu the vicinity
of Bismarck was a clergyman of tho Unl
yersalist denomination, who had retired
from tbo pulpit, and practically from re
liglon also. He went into the real es
tate business, mado money so fast that
ho didn't know what to do with it; nnd
now, after gathering in his shekels by
the millions, he renounces again the
world, the flush, and the other fellow,
and has gone to preaching again. The
scripture that remarks something about
a fellow's inability to serve two masters
exempts this ministerial Sbylock from
its operations. Lots in the principal
business thoroughfare in Bismarck were
held nt what might be called fabulous
figures so long ago is 1879, but whnt
would a poor devil who desired n bun!
ness corner think now if he should drop
in nnd be informed that 800 a front foot
is tho lowest possible figure, and the
owner would rather keep it for n rise
anyhow? This is n trifle higher than n
corner lot on Clark street in Chicago is
held; but while it doesn't prove conclus
ively that Bismarck is the largest city, it
does prove conclusively that the real-es

cities develops some most unconscionable

What is wanted here, and I may Bay is
the great crying demand in all the larger

thing approximating to n tirst-class hotel.
Not an ornate building with claboiate

sort of thiug, but a place where one can

The question naturally arises, not how

the Treasury failed to pay every dolla:

portant than money? Acts of Congress
long since approved by the President
regulate the disbursement of every etol
lar, without which not one cent can be
paid. Take, for ex imple, the War De
partmcnt, with iU great army of clerk:

The vast clerical duty has been dls

that department. It is Adjutant General
Drummond and his assistant adjulnut

three assistant secretaries, two of whom
are usually present when the Secretary
of Slate is absent. Now, it would be
strange it such a department could get
along without a head. It does not aud

I was nt the funeral of the late Hugh
Hastings, editor of the "Commercial
Advertiser," last Saturday. It wa; cer
tainly an impressive uffalr, and the im
posing list of pall bearers comprising
the President and a large number of
leading politicians and business men
added additional solemnity to the scene.
Curiously enough among the pall bearers
there was not a single representative of
the profession of which the dfad man
was himself a member. I am inclined
to attribute this to nn oversight on Ihc
part of the relatives, for although Mr.
Hastings by bis nativo combatiyeness
and bis style of warfare which frequently
resembled that of Chinese pirates, who
use n certain bomb which emits n.hcrrid
odor on exploding, was not popular
among hU colleagues as n rule, yet bis
many sterling characteristics made him
respected. So far as his subordinates
and the pcoplo who ever worked on the
paper are concerned, bo was kindness

is it that artists like ber have not some

The Bar Association has at last aroused
ttself to take a stand, ngaiust the alarm
ing spread of fraudulent divorces. When
a lteferee who bns a great deal of experi

be Is satisfied that fraud enters into nine
teutha of the proceedings for divorce,
then it is certainly high time to put on
the brakes. The law is stringent enough
but the judges nt present are handi
capped by Iheir inability to make in
vestigatious of their own to ascertain
whether there is collusion between par
ties. What is really wanted is a Dlvorco
Court where proceedings nre carried ou
pnblicly.nnd tho nlnlilloti of the Ilefereo
system. The decision of the Court tl
Appeals, too, that a parly against whom
n divorce has been obtained may marry
in another State, has much to do with
tho loose regard in which the marriage
tie is held by the great generality of
people. Why oven a Judgo iu this
