STATEMENTS IN PARLIAMENT.

LONDON, July 17.-In the House of Commons this
afternoon, Sir Charles Dixie. Under Foreign Secre-
tary said that he found he had too far in stat
ing that Germany had expressed approval OF the
bombardment OF Alexandria.
This declaration was made in consequence OF
semoicial contradictions of his statement TO that
effect published at Berlin and Vienna.
Sir Charles Dixie said the Porte had not yet
definitely answered the identical note OF the Powers
asking for the dispatch of Turkish troops to
Egypt.
MIR. Gorst, Conservative member for Chatham
gave notice of motion of censure rela-
tive to the failure of the Government TO prevent
the destruction of Alexandria.
Campbell Bannerman, Financial Secretary of the
War Offices, read telegram from Rear-Admiral
Hoskins at Port Said, saying that all was quiet
there last evening.
John Bright referring TO his resignation, stated
that nc had nothing to explain or defend. The sole
reason of his retirement was that he could not con-
cur in the Governments Egyptian policy For
forty years he had held and taught doctrine that
he still believed and he could not consistently ap-
prove the proceedings at Alexandria. He believed
that the moral law applied to nations as well as to
individuals and that the proceedings which he dis
approved were violation thereof and of inter
national law If he had not sooner retired it was
because of his high regard for Mr. Gladstone anu
his other colleagues In a disagreement so 1uhda-
mental he would either have had to submit TO
measures which he entirely condemllcd OF haNe
been nm constant conflict with his colleagues.
Mr. Gladstone briefly aud highly eulOgiZed MT.
Bright He said that he agreed with Ills principles,
but not with his application Of them.

Something about Babies.


According to a Yorkshire notion,
newborn infant should be laid first in
the arms of maiden before anyone
touches it; and in some places the in-
fant's right hand is left llnwashed in
order that he may gather riches. 1t is,
too, considered very important by many
that an infant should go upin the world
before it goes down. Thus, in Cleve-
land, says Mr.. Henderson, if a child
should be born in the top story OF a
house, for want of a flight of stairs one
of the gossips will take it in her arms
and mount q table. chair, or chest OF
drawers before she carries it down
stairs.
In the North Of England, when an in
fant for the first time goes out of the
house, it is presented with an egg, some
salt and a little loaf of bread, and occa-
sionally a small piece of money these
gifts being supposed to insure that the
child shall never stand in need OF the
common necessaries of life. In the
East Riding of Yorkshire few matches
are added to light the child to heaven.
Itwas, too, in former times, custom
ary, and the practice isnot yet obsolete,
to provide large cheese and cake, and
cut them at the birth of the child. These
were called 1.-THE grooming cake and
cheese" and were distributed among
all the neighbors.
In Yorkshire this cake Is termed the
..pepper cake, and in some localities
the s.sickening cake It is the source
Of species OF divination, for being cut

The Delegateship.

The attack made upon Pettigrew by
some of our exchanges are very unfair to
say the least A delegate in con-
gress has, as is known, not halt the
right or chance accorded representa-
tive and the work performed by MIR. Pet
tigrew in our behalf was only accomplish
ed by hard, persistant and untiring work
and the aid offriends he has made and who
came to his aid. This is we'll known and
is known by even the enemies of Petit
grew. There is not man in Dakota that
could have worked harder or accomplish
ed more. This must be admitted. The
Ashton Herald of a recent date says:
The one or two newspapers who have
taken the liberty to attack and malici-
ously abuse our honest and efficient del
egate, Hon. r. Z. Pettigrew, have only
succeeded in making that esteemed gen
tleman host of warm friends. Mr.
Pettigrews past career is clear and un
spotted. He will receive majority il
Sphinx as well as nearly every county in
the territory.

Busy Canton.


There is no let up to the busy times in
Canton as regards building operations, and
the music of the hammer and saw can be
heard Just the same as two months ago,
from early dawn to sunset,
Mr.. Gale has completed has two fine
buildings, the plasterers having finished
the upper story last week. The carpenters
have also left the building and it now
stands completed. The Messrs Kennedy
Bros. attorneys, and DR.. ONeil, the dent
ist, will occupy their respective offices IN
the building some time this week. We
intend to give description of the build
ing next week
The tin-roof to T. w. Hoods two story
building is on and the lathers are at work
lathing the upper rooms. Mr.. Hoods
own store is ready for the hard finish, and
the plasterers are plastering the upper
story. An elegant 10 foot 2-inch plank
sidewalk has been laid on both sides of
the building, the stairs leading to the up
per story is in position, and we might say,
the work of completing the building is
rushed Mr.. Hood expects the window
and door frames by every freight.
Mr.. Madolc has the plasterers at work
on his store room, the plasterers are now
putting on the hard-fnish Mr.. Madole
expects his window and door frames by
every train.
Messrs. T. p. Thompson 4 Go. have
their store almost ready for occupanancy
and believe they can move into it by Aug
ust lst. The store is large and roomy,
an elegant large room has been partition
ed off as tin-shop, and take it all in all
Tom will have the most complete store In
Dakota.
We understand that Mr.. Corson has
given the contract of completing his build
ing to Charley Majerus, and that 1t will
be built of chalk stone Just when work
will be commenced upon it is not known.
The building is to be 2-story.
The j. W. Taylor building has reached
the lst story and already commands al
imposing appearance. Huge piles of rock
are being piled up and a saw ran by 8
4-horse power was put in operation yester
day, which will greatly facilitate the work
and keep the prepared stone on hand fol
the masons. The fsh-plates and irol
pillars for the front were placed in posi-
ton yesterday, and the masons are build
ing the brick front.

Adieu.
With this number our connee

With this number our connection with
the ADVOCATE ceases G. W. Harmon
who has been associated with us since
January last, becomes sole proprietor and
publisher. We recommend him to the bes,
wishes and support Of our patrons, believ-
ing he will give ample satisfaction and
not only maintain but increase the pat
ronage and good will OF the subscribers.
For nearly six years we have in our
feeble way endeavored to publish such a
paper as the patronage and our means
would warrant and one cause of congratu-
lation is, that steady increase of support
and manifestations of approval has occur
ed Our reasons for retiring from the
paper is that the junior members of
the firm desire rest, and possibly a
change of business, having from mere boys
before their school days were ended even,
stood faithfully at the case.
Great changes have been wrought in
Canton and Lincoln county since we took
charge Of the ADVOCATE During the
first few years it required more faith and
nerve to stick to what was losing enter
prise, than latterly, when prosperous
changes fortunately came. Our readers
well remember the dark cloud that seem
ed to hover over this i'll used and much
abused portion Of the territory All were
nearly discouraged, year after year crops
failed, immigration went elsewhere, those
that could leave did, and retrograde in
stead Of forward movement characterlz-
ed our history-now how different While
we contributed our mite of consolation,
pressing no one, endeayoring to treat all
alike, guarding against speaking i'll Of
or injuring the feelings of any person, we
can and have extended our hearty CON
graduation at the eve of general prosper
ity our patrons are witnessing.
To those who have stood by us when
friends were needed, we send you our
heart felt thanks and wishes that your
days may never be again be darkcned
To the members Of the fraternity who
have always treated us with respect and
courtesy that is due from each other, we
extend like wish and their prosperity
will be gratifying for us to witness and
withal the trials and unpleasant exper-
fences our newspaper life in Lincoln coun-
ty has met with, its attendant pleasures
over balances them and we bid you all
adieu with sincere regret.

is success. The first kiln Of 10000 was
burned Tuesday and are for sale to any
one wanting them. The enterprise is to

that effect shares were sold to the num-
Der of 60 at 500 to the share. The brick
are said to be the best this side Of Mason
City.
Farmers are now amusing themselves
cutting rye, barley and early sown oats.
The yield of each throughout the county
will be good. Wheat is coming on in fine
order and several fields will be ready for
the harvester the first of the week. Corn
has done wonderful within the past three
DAYS. 1t has, since dry weather set in,
changed its color to dark dealthy green
and the prospects are good for a bountl-
full yield.

the Messrs. Bowen e. kingsbury, are

farmers. 1t contains the news of the ter
ritory and the world.

there were several parties interested
who would like to have seen Frank Rod
way punished and for that purpose some
railroad hand was put on the war path and
filed with fire wateas Frank did not want
any trouble in the saloon and took all the
insult heaped upon him until the bully
went for Roadway behind the counter,
This he could not stand and the bruises

out of doors. Frank desires us to say
that he intends to run a quiet place and
that these bullics will be treated hereafter
