Guiteau's Sentence to be Affirmed

Washington, May l5.-1t was learned
anthoritatively to-day that a unanimous
decision upon the Guiteau exception
will be rendered by the District Supreme
court next Monday, which will overrule
all the exceptions and affirm the SEN
tcnce of the court below 1t Is under-
stood that one ofthe judges was Inclined
to attach much importance TO the ques-
ton raised against the competency of
Mrs. Dummies testimony, aud that an
other member Of the court found consi-
derable difficulty in coming to an agree
ment with his colleagues on the question
OF jurisdiction, but although these two
judges may perhaps take occasion to ex-
press opinion in some degree dissenting
from their colleagues processes Of rea-
soning on these points the decision it.
self will be unanimous.

The sixteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States is under
way. 1t provides, first, that the right of
citizens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by the
United States or by any state on account
Of sex; and, second, that congress shall
have power by appropriate legislation
to enforce the provisions of this article.
This is the fruit Of the senate's select
committee on woman suffrage, but it
came from the committee with majori-
ty of but one. Senator Lapham voted
for it, as did Blair, of the guano state.
Senator George and Fair, both demo-
Gratis, voted in committee against the
proposition. The women who rejoice
that is has made this much progress will
be considerably older before they vote.
If both houses Of congress concur in re-
commenting the adoption of this article
of the constitution by two-thirds vote,
there is but a beginning Of the trouble.

lie must concur. The language Of this

The Rapid City Journal in the follow
ing fittingiy eulogizes the character and
services of the late T. j. Webster, a
pioneer printer and publisher, who died
in Central City on the morning of the
18th. eve can scarce realize that we
shall never see his pleasant face or hear
bis hearty, kindly voice again-that we
shall never again feel the friendly grasp
of hand which was ever extended in
encouragement to humanity, and which
had dispensed more than its full share
Of bounty to the needy and unfortunate.
Deceased will be remembered long and
we'll by many whom he, in life, be-
friended, and many are the poor comps
who will bless his memory as they recall
to mind one who never refused 10 aid a
fellow craftsman. He was good repre-
sentative of the better class of printers,
an honor to his trade and humanity
His large, warm heart could never bear
to see another suffer when he had the
means of allcviation, and in consequence
he died Il poor man. He leaves behind
him little Of the goods of this world, but
better than ali these he leaves a name
untarrished, which will live in the
memories Of many Of his fellow mortals
to whom he has extended helping
hand and an encouraging word in time
Of trouble. He was buried with the
stick and rule-emblems Of the craft
which had been at once his delight and
his means Of livelihood--in his hand,
his clay being followed to the grave by
a large concouree OF mourning frien&s.
To the bereaved wife and children no
consolation can be offered greater than
is found in a review Of the life Of the
one gone before, which so well fitted
him for death.

position
A large meeting of the board OF trade
and citizens of Lead, Central and Dead
Saturday, to take measures to have the
Black Hills mineral and agricultural re
sources represented at the Denver In
dustrial and Mining Exposition, to pe
held in that city during the months of
August and September next.
From the Pioneer Of the 2.st we gather
the following:
The meeting was called to order and
Judge Bennett was elected to the chair,
who in few brief remarks stated the
object of the meeting.
Judge Mclaughlin stated that while
the meeting had been called under the
auspices Of the board of trade of Dead
wood, it was in reality citizens meet
ing to cooperate with all the other
camps in the Hills, and thus be able to
send specimens of our mineral and agri-
cultural products to the Denver Exposi-
ton. A cabinet collection of our min
erals would give the intelligent stranger
an idea of our resources IF the people
Of the Hills would take hold of this
matter In earnest and send these speci-
mems, with the proper data, giving such
information as was necessary a proper
idea Of the country, even if the parties
had never visited it, could be formed,
and would result in great good to our
country. The Exposition at Denver will
undoubtedly attract great number Of
capitalists, ready TO invest capital in
mines and mining, and certainly the
Hills will derive great benefit by hav-
ing samples Of their ores on exhibition,
with delegation to explain the location
and extent Of the mines, and that now
was the time to take the initiatory step
in the matter.

lie left without II representative. Mr.. Shelly
stated that this convention had met To nom.

thought, IN the interest of harmony, that IL

EVERYTHING considered, the result
of the Dcmpciatic convention held III
this CITY, yesterday, was one ofthe most
diSheaTtrnin, events that has befrl the
party in the history of Blue Earth
county. In pcruSing the names of
the nominees there is not to he found
single candidate VINO will poll more
than his PARTY vote. while several
could be named that will fall far
short of h"ldin" the ranks together
Mr.. Buck could see defeat staring
the whole ticket ia the face ; was I'M
questionahly aversed TO suffering
himself tc sink under such load
and would not be held responsible for
some of the questionable proceedings

reason for going 10 work and electing
their ticket 10y an erwhelming ina
iority. The Democrats have made
victory easy, and we should grasp the
situation.
