State Sovereignty.

Secretary Sherman IN late speech said
that the governing issue that divides this
great country Is an honest difference Of
opinion as to the nature and function Of
the national government, the republicans
believing that this was a nation, not a
confederacy Of states: while the whole
policy of the democratic party is To Grip
pie, belittls and degrade The national gov
errment-to make it subordinate TO the
states. "Under the doctrile Of state
rights they claim that state, OF a con
trolling element in a state, may control
or disregard and nuiIify the laws Of the
United States" This doctrine of state
rights, OF state sovereignty, has been
again brought prominently before the
country since the democrats got control
Of congress, and has been pushed much
further than their predecessors ever went
before, except during the period imme-
lately preceding the late war.
The dogma Of state sovereignty which
has re-awakened to such rigorous life in
congress and throughout The country, has
borne such bitter fruits and entaiIed such
suffering upon the people that it should
receive particular notice 1t should be
remem bered that the word sovereignty
cannot be fifty applied to any government
il this country. It is not found in The
constitution It IS q feudaI word, bo-n OF

There is no one paramount sovereign in
the United States. There is no person in
This country who holds any title or an

sovereign IS the whole people. To talk
about the inherent sovereignty "of q cor

A Relic Of the Custer Massacre

\ special dispatch from Washing ton
says: A most Interesting and curious
incident has just occurred In connection
with the terrible story Of the massacre of
Clusters command on the Little Big HON
On the 25th of June, 1876 Among the
officers who fell on that dark day, it will
be remembered, was a son of General
Crittenden. Of the United States army.
No traces were eyer found by his sorrow-
ing friends Of the personal effects Of the
gallant and unfortunate young Lieutenant
CrIttenden- He had returned frorn trip
to Europe not long before he went vest
upon the service in which he was destin-
ed to fall, and among other things
brought home by him from the Old
World was a handsome and valuable gold
watch Of English make by which be set
great store and which he was known to
have worn on the day when he met his
death.
4 short time ago the adjutant general
of the army received letter from resi-
dent IN Winnipeg county, of Canada ask
ing whether any officer bearing the name
of Crittendsn had taken part in the luck
less expedition of Custer. The writer
gave - his reason for making the in
auiry that he had purchased, some time
ago, from half,breed, gold watch the
falf-bEeed told him he had obtained from
one of the Sioux warriors who sought
refuge in Canada after the massacre of
the Little Big Horn. The watch bore no
owners name. The works had been
trifed and sampered with, after the man
ner Of the savages, by the Sioux from
whom 1t was procured, and who assured
The halfbreed that he had slain the EIlite
man to whom 1t belonged in the battle
with Clusters men. The writer of the
letter faalIy purchased tbs watch for So
On examining it, he found engraved in

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER,

Ihe County Commissioners Finally Toke
Measures FIR the Relief Of the Prisoners
at the County Skating Rink.
Now that the weather is moderating and
there is a good prospect OF genuine Indian
summer" in the near future, the board of
county commissioners have taken action to re-
lieYe the suffering of the prisoners in the
county Jail. Nearly week ago the G1osE
first called the attention of the public to the
fact that the prisoners were in a state of great
suffering from the cold. Without Windows or
roof the jail has been little if any warmer than
the open f,l3. Saturday the sheriff b id to,rd.
placed in the windows, but the snow and rain
fell in from above and covered the prison floor
with ice. There has been little fire some of
the time, but no chimney for the smoke; and
the clothing and scanty beds of the prisoners
have been cold and wet.
At the meeting of the commissioners YES.
terday, Schsefer offered a resolution, that all
criminal prisoners for trial at the Novembe,
term and all sentenced by the municipal court
for sixty days or over be transferred to the
Ramsey county Jail, for safe keeping, until the
Jail is 1T for occupancy. The resolution states
the expense on each prisoner will be but s.
per week, and also that no Waterman would bs
required, or work done for the prisoners. TIL:
saving to the county would be S110 per week.

prisoners from the cold. But the board of

court being necessary to accomplish that OBJ

the transfer or do anything else in his power

different turn. Commissioner Glenn sent
