Early Morning Work,

A contemporary suggests that longer
incoming for both men and horses engaq-
ed in farm work is very desirable, and
says that the time SO lost can be made
good by getting to work earlier of morn
ings and working later ofevenings. Our
impression is that such is the rule now,
the trouble being with farmers that they
can't find enough hours of daylight in
a day to accomplish all they desire.

past crouched on his side and back and
slowly ricked the treasure from the

MLwAuKEE, WIS, June 22.-0n the sub.
iect Of the enormous influx OF settlers into
Dakota this spring, Mr.. Dalrymple, the
great Dakota wheat grower, says that the
DRIFT OF immigration is now into Middle
and Southern Dakota. In Northern Dakota
the lands were pretty well taken up year
ago. The most attractive localities accessi-
BILE to this years settlers seem to lie along
the lines OF the st. Paul and Northwestern
railways. The class Of people with which
the Territory is filling up is good, the
greater number ofimmigrants being Amer
leans from the older States, who take with
them means sufficient to open small farms.
Owing to the insuffiCiency Of the appro-
priations by Congress, the Government
surveys in some parts Of Dakota have been
much delayed. The result has been that
thousands Of immigrants'have been Obliged
to be classed as squatters when their real
purpose agd desire was 10 take up land and
settle permanently. But they have been
debarred from so doing by inability to
obtain title. To-day arrangements were
delegated to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway Companyth power to make
the necessary survey in large number of
townships In MCPHERSON, DiCkey, and
counties in Dakota on the line OF the COM
pany's road. The expense to the company
will be heavy, and the Government allows
nothing for the work. The benefit to the
company is that arising from the influence
necessarily resulting to lead immigrants to
locate on the line Of the road. Work in
fifteen townships will begin at once, and II
is believed will be completed in two
monthB.

A HUMAN SACRIFICE.

For ussI the Passover Feast OF Hungarian Jsw,.
Singular Sesa.s at the Trial Of the Mar.
dsrsrs-A Son Appears as a Mlt-
ness Against His Father.

VIENNA, June 22.-At the great trial at
Nyreghaza, Hungary, OF a number Of Jews
accused Of having murdered a Christian
girl at Tisza Ezlar, to use her blood to mix
with their passover bread, a sister OF the girl
alleged to have been murdered, testified
she spoke to her sister on the afternoon the
murder is said to have occurred, while on
the other hand the principal witness for
the prosecution, Jewish boy named Moritz
Scharf swore he saw the murder committed
in the synagogue before the midday meal
was partaken oil. The trial is causing cx-
traordinary excitement Christians in the
vicinity are intensely hostile to the accused
men, and those who attend the trial jeer
the counsel for the defense when they rise
tospeak. The father. OF the boy scharf is one
Of the prisoners charged with the crime.
The boy, though not legally compelled to
testify against his father, elected to do so.
He tells hisstory with great coolness, but he
refused his fathers request to speak in his
native German, and the elder Scharf de-
clares the boy would not dare tell q lie in
that tongue. The prisoners spit at and
curse the witnesses against them. 1t has
been ELECTED in the course OF the trial that
the boy Scharf intends TO become a Chris
tian; that he had been told by Catholic
Priests about the alleged use of Christian
blood in making Passover bread, and that
he had been threatened by the police prior
to the examination.

Porte promised that the persons guilty OF

An American physician was forbidden to

this fact, had the physician come to Con-

diploma and return to Tripoli. General
Wallace addressed note to the Porte, in
sisting upon an apology for the treatment
Of the physician, because hundreds OF
native doctors in Tripoli are permitted to
practice without diploma"

Comments ON the Work OF the Ohio
Democratic Convention.

Democratic Convention. I'D.
NEw YoRK, June 22.-The Times to-day
says: "The course Of the Ohio Democrats
yesterday was adroh, and If ingenious It
was quite as near 80 as that OF their politi-
cal conventions in that State for the last
fifteen years. Judge Hoadly, who was
nominated for Governor, Is man OF abil-
ity, OF good private reputation as poll
tician, acute, untiring and unscrupulous."
The World says: at was both brave and
shrewd in nominating Judge Hoadly. The
Democratic convention OF Ohio did at once
the wisest and most liberal thing Il has
done in many years."
The Herald offers its respectful cougratu-
lations to Ohio Democrats. They have
made platform on which sensible citizens
desirous OF honest and free government
can stand and have nominated upon It a
man who fairly and full represents policy.
Hoadly Ia an able and honest man and a
Democrat In the true sense OF that word.
The Sun says: Judge Hoadly Is good
candidate for Governor and will make
good Governor Of the State, for there need
be no doubt Of his election by handsome
majority. Heis an able man, learned
politician, a forcible speaker, judicious
adherent OF Democratic principles and
may be relied on for an honest administra-
ton Of an important office.
The Tribune says: Judge Hoadly has
carried of the Democratic nomination for
Governor Of Ohio. In thus selecting aB
their leader the man who Is best known as
the advocate and defender OF unrestricted
whisky, the Democrats placed themselves
squarely on the sideof the anti.temperanCe
interests. Notwithstanding their attempt,
they hedge later when 1t came TO the for
NAL declarations Of their principles. The
platform starts out with tremendous strad-
die on the tariff question.
