It is told me that the members of of the Canton Build­ing Association are endeavoring not only to ruin this county financially but politi­cally ; and propose to fill all the offices o f any value in the county with members of this association. Is this true? Here are some of the particulars: Baiiey wants to be Councilman, and he is general manager of the C. B.

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 nomina­tion 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

J 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 ex­planation f 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 s ame case, that he undertook the service for which he received a fee of $20,000 in the year 1861. Let us turn to Governor H 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 sub­ject to taxation under the laws of the State of Ohio. The facts adduced did'not bear "out the charge as preferred, but Gov­ernor Hayea hastened to reply to it fully and firanklv by an exhibit showing con­clusively tnat, so far from it being a fact that any part of his property had escaped taxation, or any part of it had been under­valued, 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 si­lenced. Outside evidence has been adduc­ed which confirms absolutely the truth of his sworn tax returns for the years 1874, 1875 and 1876, and the charge? are dispos­ed of. But the charge of peijury When made against Tilden was supported by ev­idence of the most conclusive character, and the most diligent and persistent ef-

While all; or nearly so, of the C. I forts of his friends have failed utterly to _ _ weaken the force of that evidence. He

stands convicted before the country of mi . •» . . having defrauded the government of a There is quite a number of mem- portion of its revenue, and of having

committed the crime of peijury in the aid of the fraud.—Inter Ocean.

CO-OPERATION Organize! In all spheres of human *

; fort, organization ia a first requisite to ano-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 depen­dent for its advancement upon systematic organization; {every industrial enterprise must have large dependence upon the or­ganization that ia &eUnd it; war, wi£fccut organization, would never terminate oth­erwise 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 main­tain co-operative svstems among the busi- • uess and industrial classes; ana these or­ganizations, 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 likely, bebause oftBe narrowness of their views, to defeat themselves as otherwise. Few men can we that the prosperity of

C. B. A. are not all members of Canton "ring, bers of the Association who are very much opposed to the rule or ruin propensities of the "ring," and think that these same political pilferers who presume to rnn the county are Canton's worst enemies.— They ask freely, or demand is abetter Way to put it, and seem to think, as has been asserted by one of stars of the "ring,"

for the past seven years in the Territory that "this is the nucleus of wealth and 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 de­gree 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 prosper­ity, 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 de­stroyed 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 prac­tice 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

. A Woman's Character. We have probably, all of us, met with

instances in which a word heedlessly spok­en against the reputation of a female has been magnified by malicious minds, until the cloud has been dark enough to over­shadow her whole existence. To those who 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 allu­sions that you feel she herself would blush to hear. When yon meet with men who do not scrutinize to make use of a wo. man's name in a reckless ana unprincipled manner, shun them, for they are the very worst of the community—men lost to ev­ery sense of honor and every feeling of humanity.

An amusing stoiy is told on one of Kid-der's enthusiastic admirers who lives some­where 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 whis­per 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, un­less 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 adopt­ing onejnore suitable to his excited imag­ination. 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 un­til he arrived at neighbor B.'s in an ex­hausted 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 alarmed hy reason of his absence. A few 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 or the race to Tankton will be too long.

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 ap­pointing the necessary officials and start­ing the machinery of organization in run­ning 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 concern­ed; but he seriously questioned the legal­ity of the steps which he would be called

1 uhon to take' in inaugurating organiza­tions in that region, ana therefore submit­ted the matter to the Interior Department at Washington, and has just received the following reply:

Dkfabticent o* the Interior, ) Washington, Aug. 24,1873. t

Hit Excellency, John L. Pennington, Gov­ernor 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 de­partment no such governments can be le­gally 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 auth­orize the setting up therein of any form of civil government for the citizens of the United States.

I am, sir very respectfully, your obedi­ent servant, "! »! tf

—Siovx City Journal

—Delegate Kidder drew the bill for the creation of thejterritory ?of Pembina'aad had it introduced by Senator Windom, of 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> tention of Congress. A delegate to con-' 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 Kid­der'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 Washington when the bill passed, and has not been for six weeks prior thereto.— Press & Dakotaian.

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 in­nocent women and children. Prince Mil­an 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 v
