The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1879-08-21

The first time you wear "a stove-pipe
hat everybody looks at you. Not, as you
may vainly imagine, because you are the
first young man who ever wore stove
pipe hat, but because it is apparent even
TO the old blind man VINO sits in the back
pc :, without any cushions, away back
under the gallery, where the poor have
the gospel preached at them, that it is
the first time YOU ever wore hat of that
description. Your old father claps one
on the back of his head, puts his hands
into his pockets, holds up his head and
walks off down the street in gale of
wind and never thinks of his hat. But
you, son, pull yours on at the most grace
full angle it can be posed, and you go
teetering along, both hands ready to fly

Free Elections.

The word free in the title to this article Is
almost supcrGuous, for that cannot in strict
propricty Of terms be called Gl election
which Is not FREQ. In discussing this inter-
csting and important subject our contcm-
porary the Tribune speaks rs follows:
The cry that the states alone are entitled to regulate
elections mean. nothing except that thc Democrats in
tend to hold powcrii they by the same violent ana
d,houcs; mcans wti.n they employed n winning IT, and
winch they have always employed 90 the iua extent Of
their opportunity
II the Democrats have raised any such
cry as that set forth in this extract from tho
Tribune, then the Democrats themselves are
greatly in error. The provision OF the
United States Constitution on this subject
is as plain as language can Doe made While
it imposes upon the several States the duty Of
making regulations for the election of Rep
resentativcs and Senators. 1t invests Con-
gress with complete authority 20 nuke or
alter such regulations In every particular,
save only as to the places Of choosing
Senators.
Under this grant OF authority, as we
maintain, Congress has the right 90 provide
that troops shall not be present at the poll
ing places except to repel armed enemies
OF the United States.
Mr.. HAYES on the other hand. contends
that troops may be present to awe unarmed
citizens.
He denies the power expressly granted TO
Congress by the Constitution. and asserts
an arbitrary power IN the Executive supc-
rior 10 the Constitution.
This is a good Issue for the Democrats, II
they understand It. to so before the coun-
try upon.

Crow Creek.

In yesterdays Sun Iankton correspond
ent rehearsed some Of the iuiquities OF LIv
INGsToNE the displaced Indian agent at
Crow Creek, as described by his su, cessor,
Capt. DoUGaERTY. On taking possession Of
the agency, Capt. DoUGHEnrY found vast
amounts Of public property hidden in secret
places, and not mentioned IN LIvISGsroNE's
inventory of what he was responsible for;
other property had been sold and the pro-
ceeds pocketed; great numbers Of cattle
had been run of to private ranch kept by
LIVINGSTONE and BrNoHAM; fraudulent
vouchers pretended that hay and lumber
had been purchased OF day lahorers az the
agency; two sawmills, nearly new. costing
the Government $1,000, had been sold as old
iron 10 HUDSON, the trader, for Sla6 apiece,
one man. who according - q cooke '-up
voucher, had earned SLIGO before he was at
the agency three weeks, declared on oath 10
Capt DoUGHERrY that he was u laborcr at
$50 a month; LIVINGSTONE drew beef and
other supplies, clothing, and aunuities for
never less than 100 Indians and has re-
ported as many as $500, when, IN fact, the
number never exceeded $50, and was most Of
the time but $50.
The point TO note Is that these pcrjurics
and frauds took place long ago; even the
discovery of them occurred more than a
year ago-yet TO this day DR.. LIVINGSTONE
goes unwhipt OF justice Worse than
that within the past fortnight the tardy
legal proceedings, beSunaitcr long flourish
OF trumpets from CARL SCHURZ, designed 20
end in the Crow Creek agents indictment,
conviction, and punishment have broken
down.
This lame and lmpotcnt conclusion might
provoke less criticism had not Mr. SCHURz
discounted long In advance for tine political
benefit Of himself and HAYES, the presumed
fruits Of his punishment OF fraudulent In
dian agents, which was TO Doe prompt and
terrible In a report made more than n
year ago Mr.. ScHURz spoke of the criminal
prosecutions he had begun against Indian
agents as follows:
while following the principal object ut discovering

A mulatto is not negro, according to n
decision recently rendered 10y Judge WoERNrB
Of 81. Louis. and the statute Of Missouri forbid
ding intermarrage of whites and negroes does
not apply 10 mulattocs. Tho question arose on
the petition " ELLA MoLAtR. u quadroon. to be
allowed a widows allowance out OF the estate Of
FRANK MoLNR, a former City Marshal Of ST.
Louis. II was admitted that there had been a
marriage ceremony in presence Of a large con-
course Of invited guests. and also that Mr..
NOLAN had lived with :he petitioner "a his
WIFE, bat the claim for nm allowance was con-
tested on the ground that tho statute declared
absolutely void all marriages between white
persons and negroes. Judge WoERNER thinks
that a person whose blood ia onc-fourth Of the
negro and three .iourths Of the Caucasian race
cannot be classed rs negro. and he quotes in
support OF his view statute in force before the

Washington correspondent OF Re-
publican journal thinks he has put Senator
BENJAMIN HILL Of Georgia in bad light by
showing that he was an early and Jealous
secessionist.
We differ entirely with this writer. His
view Of the subject is wrong.
We think Mr. HILL has placed himself In
n most odious position by pretending that
while he fought for the Confcdcracy
he was ut heart always Union
man. We dcspse a man who will fight
against his own convictions. lie might
braycly tile a martyr TO his political faith;
but to take up arms on the other side is de-
tcstable. The truth ia, this Washington
correspondent, by proving that Mr.. Hill
was at heart a rebel, puts Mr.. HILL in n
better attitude than his own professions Of
Unionsm had left him
So of ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS. For him
we have always felt supreme contempt,
because while he made loud professions
of being Union man he could ac-
ccpt the Presidency Of the South
ern Confcdcracy. Such two-sided,
double-dcullng, shallow, hollow-hcarted
man deserves only to be despised. We
would rather nestle down-ior we should
fed ourselves in comparative security
with n thousand hot-blooded. rcd-handcd,
