In many districts the soil is too wet for

The member of the house from Bon
Homme county, Mr.. Stephens, in reply to
what he deems a charge against him in .
communication in yesterdays issue from
"Poor Parent" desires us to say that he
voted to retain the general tax in the school
Law, and is strongly in favor Of it The
particular portion Of the article to which
Mr.. Stephens excerpts, reads as follows:
off Bon Homme and Clay employ repre-
sentatives, two hundred years behind their
age, let Bon Homme and Clay fork out their
four dollars per day"
Our Interpretation Of the meaning of this
clause is that Poor Parent" employed it
as an illustration, without intending it as .
personal reference to any members Of the
present legislature. No man can faithfully
accuse Mr.. Stephens of being even a small
number Of years behind the times. He be-
longs to the progressive class of young Da-
kQtaians who are alive to the necessities of
the present, and are ever ready to endorse
that which promiees the greatest good to the
greatest number.

SENATOR MATTHEW'S.
HI. Relation. with jane. E. And.r.o,

Relations with James e. Anderson.
Washington, Feb. 14-The senate select
committee, appointed at the instance of Sen.
ator Matthews, have made public his testi-
mony concerning the allegations of James.
E. Anderson. Senator Matthews, after de-
pying the statements of Andersen concern
ing himself, said: What I desire to have
more distinctly understood are reasons that
actuated me in correspondence with him,
and continuing to manifest my interest in
him after this. conduct on his part
toward myself, which in respect
to his dispatch of June l. 1877
insulting. Ny first reason was my
anxiety considering his disappointment,
which he had expressed in reference to
the treatment he had received from others,
and his disappointment in not succeeding
through me in getting what he thought
he ought to have. To not give him any
excuse in his own mind for believing that
l had not acted in entire good faith in
carrying out the original expressions Of
my desire communicated to him in my
first conversation, to do something
for him. l had said that to him under the
circumstances which l have stated. ex'
cused his own conduct toward myself as per
haps natural to a man who had intense de-
sire to accomplish his object, who perhap.
was very needy, as I supposed he was, and
who might suppose that l, like others whom
he had charged, was only giving him wordi
of promise without seeking to do anything
to make them good, and I was anxious and
sensitive that he should have no excuse to
charge me with any bad faith. My
other reason was my desire that the pa.
pers which we're in my custody under cir
cumstances which l have stated-meaping
by sthe papers, the Nash agreement, and
the Anderson Weber agreement-should
not be made public. l confess l thought il
was best they should not be. l saw no rea-
son for making them public, in reference to
any public interest involved. 1 did not be-
lisve it would do any good. l could not
imagine any good they would subserve, with
my opinion as to their character, and I did
believe they might be made the instruments
of mischief and harm by propaga
ting, and to some extent confirming in the
popular mind, a belief in what l believed
to be a false and injurious scandal in refer
ence tn the whole matter to which they re-
lated and the two considerations together
induced me to tolerate with him, up to the
point which l have described, the conduct
which the correspondence manifests as dis
played by him.

HOME INDUSTRY =!

The undersigned takes this occasion to return his thanks
to the people of Yankton particularly, and to his many
friends throughout Dakota and Nebraska, for the generous
patronage which has been bestowed upon the late firm Of
DUDLEY & HAWLEY through the many years in which
that firm has carried on business in this city, and he now
desires to call the attention Of these friends and that of
the people generally to the enlarged facilities, more extern
sive assortment and more commodious rooms, which the late
firm had provided and which he, as the successor of Dudley
& Hawley, now possesses.
In the line of the Hardware trade, and in the manufacture
of Tin, Copper and Sheet Iron Ware, he claims to have an es-
adjustment equal in all respects to anything in the north
west, occupying three grand rooms, each 25xlO0 feet in ex-
tent.
In the future, by constant application to business, he hopes
to see the Hardware trade of the region which is naturally trih-
lutary to to this point, conferred here, and shall spare no effortt to
make it for the interest Of the people within this region, to par.
chase their Hardware, Tinware, Copper and Sheet Iron ware.

embryo Governors and Congress-
men through the grace of Denis
Kearney and the secondary Provi-
dence of Almighty God. This is
the secret Of projected Constitu.
tion which coull not have been
more radical and sweeping In its
provisions If Its every clause had
been matured in Ward Club con-
ference of the Kearneyites. We
think these Non-Partizans made a
fatal mistake and have really ship
wrecked themselves. If we are
mistaken, and they prove to have
shown personal sagacity, they will,
instead, have wrecked the
State of California. We confess
that we can more easily tolerate
the disappointments which will
follow personal miscalculation
than the grave and irreparable ills
which will follow close upon the
heels of State calamity. The
adoption of the new Constitution
would really rise to such proper
tions of disaster. Its extent is not
dreamed of by those who have
given no thought to the disintegra'
tion and paralysis which always
follow close npon the heels of po
litical Vitruvius.

If the Convention was not the

was it?-Herald.
1t was a body called together by
the direct vote OF the people, to

Very good, brother Quill. But
what is the Constitutional Conven-
ton if the people shall repudiate
its work? 1t will then prove to
have been a mere creature of the
Legislature, and an abortive one at
that. In fact, the Constitution it
self will have filled the ideal OF

limit the sessions of the I.egisla-

Not Symptoms, but he Disease.

1t would seem to be a truth appreciable
by all, and especially by professors OF
the healing art, that to remove the dis
ease, not to alleviate its symptoms,
should be the chief aim of medication.
Yet in how many instances do we see
this truth admitted in theory ignored in
practice. The reason that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is SO successful in SO
many cases, with which remedies pre-
viously tried were inadequate to cope, is
attributable to the fact that 1t is a medi-
cine which reaches and removes the
causes of the various maladtes to which
1t 10 adapted. Indigestion, fever and
ague, liver complaint, gout, rheumatism,
tions and other maladies are not palliat-
ed merely, but rooted out by it. 1t goes
to the fountain head. II is really, not
nominally, radical remedy, and 1t en-
dcws the system with an amount of vigor
which is its best protection against dis
ease.

nature to enjoy the sight of your
wife or husband or lover hugging
anybody but yourself, even In
mimicry. Hugging is hugging,
and kisses are kisses, on the stage
the same as off. At the Lyceum,
Kate Claxton is embracing Mr..
Pardoe while her husband is EN-.
hracing Mrs. Lingard; at the
Grand Opera House, Mrs. William
son is embracing Will Harkins
while her husband don't get COM

the Park, Frank Evans is embrac-
ing Alicia Robson, while her faith

doubt giving lise to many compli-

the audience. 1t is O matter of
gossip among theatrical folks that
an actor and actress, brought to-
gether in mimicry of love night
after night, during the best run of
popular play, fell into really low
ing each other. This would have
been we'll enough, for the two were
appropriately mated, but that the
