RECENT fogs in London have been more

instance it developed latent bronchitis, in

GROWING interest in the movements
against the Church Establishments of Great
Britain appears in various parts of the En-
pire, and it is expected that the subject will
come up in Parliament during the present
session. Note has already been made OF the
agitation in Scotland, which of late has in
creased rather than diminished, ard it is
expected now that an attack will be made
on the small State Church iu India, with
probably disastrous results to the Church.

THE reported negotiations between the
English Governments and the Vatican con-
tinue to create excitement in that country.
On the 18th the matter came up in the
House of Commons, and Sir Charles Dixie,
the Under Secretary Of Foreign Affairs, was
Sir Stafford whether the Govern
rdent intended to lay any papers relative to
Mr.. Evrington1s recent visit to Rome upon
the tablesof the House." The Secretary re-
piled that Mr.. Evrington had no diplomatic
or official communication to make, conse-s
quently there was no official correspondents
to be presented. To subsequent question,
however, whether Lord Granville did or did
not address a. letter to Mr.. Evrington, which
he was to show to Cardinal Jacobini, so as
to induce the Vatican to place confidence in
any representations made by Mr.. Eyrington
to the Papal See, the Secretary was suspi-
ciously non -committal. ~

IT appears from recently published statis-
tics that the tide of European emigration to
the United States, which rose so high last
Spring, is still on the increase, the total
number of arrivals being greater by nearly
$4,000 during the seven months ending with
the 31st of January last than it was during
the corresponding period twelve months
back, The details are not without sugges-
tiveness. Ireland, which used to send US
the greatest number, is now fourth on the
list, while England has taken the second
place on the list. The prevailing discomfort,
political and commercial, which prevails in
Germany is strikingly illustrated in the fact
that more than one-third of all the arrivals
come from that country.

In the districts where the Jewish perse Gu
tions have taken place, the people are ex-
ceedingly ignorant and bigoted. Their con-
dition is more worthy the middle ages than
the nineteenth century. They are the great,
est drinkers of ardent spirits in Europe.
When intoxicated they become almost hike
savages. They are also superstitious.
When a misfortune or calamity overtakes
them some victim is sure to have their ven
geance wreaked upon his head. There is
unanimity in choosing the Jew. So food,
OF fire. or sickness, or loss of crops is the
signal for one Of the brutal outbreaks that
have shocked Christendom. There is little
hope from the soIdiery, as they are drawn
from the populace and sympathize with
them. They will join mob with the relish
of hunters after game. Generally, before
theefficer in command can interfere the
victims have felt the wrath Of their cruel
prosecutors. 4, ~

Naylor the Embezzler.


The suit against g. w. Naylor for
embezzling county money was tried
at Sioux Falls, commencing last week
Tuesday. The regular panel was ex-
hausted and only three competent
Jurors were secured Talesmen were
summoned to complete the jury, the
trial was concluded and the case Civ
en- to the jury on Monday, at o'clock
p m. The jury was out about "a
hours when it was apparent they
would never agree and they were dis
charged. The jury stood four for ac-
quittal and eight for conviction. This
is far from the vindication Mr.. Nay
lor. hoped for. but it is about what
the general public expected The
Jury stated that they did not dis
agree upon any question OF fact or Of
evidence, but there seemed to be some
men upon the jury by accident or
otherwise, who, Notwithstanding their
oaths to decide according to law and
the evidence, persisted in hanging
the jury.
The prosecution was ably conduct
ed by Capt. Alexander Hughes, who
fairly won the case although opposed
by such distinguished and able attor-
neys as Judge Pendleton of Sioux
City and Judge Clifford of this place.
The mastery inactivity of the district
attorney was heavy load for the
Captain to carry, b;.t 10 managed
the case splendidly and piled up sn
overwhelming mass of evidence that
would convince any unprejudiced
person.
Now that the first engagement is
over, with the odds IN favor of the
county, we respectfully suggest that
if Mr.. Naylor promptly adjust this
matter 80 that the county is fully re-
imbursed, the ends of justice will be
quite fairly secured, should the case
be carried no further. Mr.. Naylor
has suffered intensely already. His
wife and children have shared this
suffering. A further prosecution will
increase and intensity a punishment
already quite severe enough to satisfy
the demands of justice.
Innocence and helplessness viii APP
peal to our sympathies and if the
matter can be settled without an in
justice to either party, we hope it
may go no further.

Press and Dakotian.
One Of the principal drawbacks to
building business blocks and resi-
dence property in the vest is the
want Of the right kind Of material
and at reasonable. prices. For some
years Yankton has felt this need as
to brick, as the supply has seldom
been equal to the demand, and many
years so uncertain that people feared
to attempt building, not knowing
whether brick could be purchased
when their foundations were ready.
The price has also been another seri-
ous barrier in the way sc. taking it
all in al, the city has Needed an es-
tablished brick yard capable Of furn-
ishing all the brick required and at
fair prices.
Yesterday afternoon an enterprise
of the kind mentioned began opera
tons in the eastern part of town.
Some months ago few business men
of Yankton, seeing the need of such
an industry, and determined to profit
by past experiences and give Yank
ton plenty of first class building ma
terial, organized company and pur.
chased the latest and most reliable
machinery known TO brick making
and went right to work to furnish
brick early in the season. After A
few unfavorable delays incident 70
enterprises of such magnitude, the
machinery was set to work yesterday
and fully meets their expectations
Brick is now being turned out at the
rate of $4,000 per day. In eleven
days they expect to put fire to kiln
of 100, 1000, and in six days thereafter
our builders can 60 to laying walls
The company has on hand 374 cords
of wood, and as it takes 35 cords Of
wood to burn kiln of 100000 brick,
the company has wood enough to
burn about a million and half of
brick. They feel pretty sure of sell
ing fifteen hundred thousand at least,
and possibly two million this year.
The machinery is driven by twenty
horse power engine and twenty five
horse power boiler, and il one ma
chine cannot do the work the power
is sufficient for second, which will
be put in. They will sell the brick at
eight dollars per thousand, and as
the brick are the smooth, genuine
pressed kind, equal to the best made,
the price is extremely reasonable.
The color of the brick will be bright
red, prettier and more durable by far
than any in the city.
The cost OF tho yard, machinery,
and wood and buildings, amounts to
about $4,000 The company has now
as thoroughly equipped and rapid
brick making establishment as there
is in the west, and people can bury
all misgivings about a lack OF brick
FOR building purposes during the
present year. The gentlemen engag
ed in the enterprise deserve praise
for conceiving and carrying to a sue
eessful end an industry of such vast
Importance to this city and section.

why Go West!

This is the question asked by an
eastern paper over the advertisement
of Farm for sale" of 275 acres at
SIS per acre. Why! Because you
csn get 800 acres of better land, with
out stones, swamps or Canada thistles
for one fourth of that sum. You can
cut more and better grass ON the
raw prairie than you can cut there.
While Dakota lands at their highest
price are not over $500 per acre, S25
land in the eastern states will need
to go begging. More stock can be
kept on one acre here than ON an
acre there so in reality the price per
acre does not represent the compare
tive value Of the land. II anybody
wishes to raise white beans, daisies,
Canada thistles and be compelled to
raise ten per cent on S25 FOR each
atre Of land let them stay east. If
they wish to raise corn, wheat and
stock, and invest the $25 per acre at
IL per cent interest, let thom come
west; there are few quarters of land
TO be had for the money. Lake Pres

" constructed curious clock, which
acts out the assassination of Presi-
dent Garfield. The machine is a
common cuckoo clock; under which is

is a ticket agent dealing out tickets,
while ut another Il telegraph operator
is seen busy at his work; and truck
men, porters, train dispatchers, etc,
are all flying around as natural as
life. All these figures are OF wood,
about two inches long. Al the end
of each hour the cuckoo announces
the fact, and Immediately q figure Of
President Garfield appears ON the
platform on which the scene is en-
acted, accompanied by Mr.. Blaine
Guitsau is seen to follow him, having
just alighted from truck wagon,
and as he fires at the president the
latter falls. just then q train of cars
comes dashing in, and in the con-
fusion the principal actors are carried
into the depot out of sight. After
the train dispatcher has given the
signa and the train has gone, small
door at the left opens and priest
appears book in hand, in the act OF
reading funeral service, while at the
same time another door at the right
opens and Guiteau appears on the
gallows. The priest retires and
shortly after the gallows disappears
with Guiteau and the doors close.
This is acted out at the end Of each
hour, and takes about three minutes,

w. L. Forster, chief secretary for

himself OF the opportunity these va

men taste OF home rule, an element
not heretofore entering into their af-

out by the Appointment OF Dufierin,
himself an Irishman, lord lieutenant
and the adoption of conciliatory
policy a part of which is that suspects

lence held for trial. The three mem
