Death of a Pioneer


The following, from the Springfield
Times, chronicles the death OF one of Da.
kota's first residents and man of prom
inence in early times. The deceased was
chief clerk of the council of the first
legislative assembly which convened in
Dakota:
Hon. James Tufts, one of the original
organizers of Dakota, died at Niobrara
last Sunday, aged tifty.six years. Judge
Tufts was one of the founders of Mo.
brara and an early settler in Yankton.
He came to the territory in 1856, and
in 1862 went to Montana, where be held
the position of secretary of that terri
tory, and was for two years its acting
governor. After leaving Montana in
IS. he has resided at his old home in

nine months, when he returned to his
first western home to die. He was tai.
ented man, and practiced bis profession,
the law, during his early career IN the
court of which Senator Edmunds was
judge. He never married. A man oi
excellent judgment and rare ability, al
ways courteous and generous, he haG
many friends, and the people Niobrare
did all in their power to make bis las
| days pleasant.

THE FREE THINKERS.
The Platform adopted ian Com
vemfiOms


SALAMANCA, N. Y, Dec. 29.-The res
olutions adopted by the Free Thinkers
convention declare their aim is to place,
by free discussion, before the people on
an immOYable basis the national, sacred
and inalienable right of all men to exer-
else entire freedom of thought, and
man interest, without dictatiOn, either
from the State or Church. "We would
defend by arms if necessary the rights
of all religiOnists, from the Pope down
to the Salvation Army, to believe and
worship as they please, and this right,
which in the spirit and letter of the ma
tional constitution we so cheerfully ac-
cord them, we claim for ourselves, and
| will exercise to the fullest extent in our
war upon the superstitiOns of the
church, andher claims to prescribe to all
men what they shall believe and do.
The concluding resolution is as fol-
lows; "We aim by criticism and ar
gument to weaken confidence in the BIZ
bic as purely inspired revelation from
Heaven, containing an infallible rule of
faith and practice. Believing the book
itself sets forth no such claims, our po-
sition on this subject is all the more i'm
pOrtant, because the practice of pOliga-
my in Utah is an anomalous fact, and
we confess our apprehension that the
idolatry of the book, which glorifies po-
lygamists and holds them up as model
saints, is the greatest hindrance in the
way OF settling the question which is
raised by it without resOrting to civil
war. The Mormon, planting himself
behind the rampaTts of the Bible and
the example of our foreign missiOna-
ries, who with the appreciation of the
churches at home, have admitted polyg-
amists into the mission churches, con-
quers in debate any religiODlst who at
tacks him. This naturally increases
the zeal of the Mormons and makes them
grow in numbers, and this complication
of circumstances threatens to precipi-
tate another civil war, which, if under
taken by the government, will never
cease till every Mormon is exterminat-
ed, and will give an additional proof
that the multif0rm body which calls it.
self the Church of God has been the
cause of shedding more human blood
than any other organization of men up
on the earth. While Mormon pOlygamy
is a Bible institution, we repudiate and
condemn it as violation of the law of
natural morality, and wash our hands of
the guilt of prosecuting by fire and
sword, and would meet it, as we do all
superstitiOns of the Church and Bible,
by sound argument, by the monogamic
te ndencies of our modern civilization,
by Tree schools and by railroads.

webster Tribune Logic.

The Webster Tribune, which still re-
fuses to hoist the Baton Rouge STAN
dard, says:
The McEnervites boast that there is
a surplus in the State Treasury. 1t is.
quite evident that there ought to be.
In 1880 three mills on the dollar was
given to the interest on consolidated
bonds, one mill to the levee tax, one
mill for public education and one mill
for the general fund. The surplus of
the bound tax over $4,000, was to be-
applied to free public schools.
The appropriation of $4,000 to the;
three colleges was out OF the general
fund.
This proved not to be sufficient to,
pay the general expenses of the State
out of the general fund.
A cry from the officials went up for
money, and in 1889 the Legislature
went to the other extreme.
They then gave the general fund two
and half miles on the dollar, and re-
lieved it of the $4,000 for the three
colleges.
One mill on the dollar was given for
public education, divided as follows:
/. 10 pay the interest on the free
school fund under the first clause of
article 1888 of the constitution.
2, To pay the interest on the Semi
nary fund under the second clause of
said article of the constitution.
8. To pay the interest on the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College fund
under the third clause of said article
OF the constitution.
4. For the support of the Louisiana
State University and Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Baton Rouge =
4bn TTniv nf
Orleans, and university for the educa-
ton of persons of color.
5. The remainder.of said public edu-<
cation tax shall be applied to the estab-
lishment, maintenance and support of
free public schools.
Thus it will be seen that the Legisla-
ture of 1880 made liberal appropriations.
for public schools, but after the ring
politicians, headed by Burke and Nc
Emery, got possession OF the majority
of the Legislature, the school fund was
almost annihilated and the ordinary
fund was increased to % mills on the
dollar, and relieved of $4,000 college
appropriations. Now they boast of a
surplus.
The Legislature Of 1889 was not
satisfied with robbing the public
schools of the one mill tax, but they
L0peaieu Inc law pFONlufn2 IOF tue en-
forcement of payment Of the poll tax
that they passed in 1880. This law
however, was repealed by the Governor
before, who sent circular around to
the several Sheriffs, ordering them not
to enforce the act, because he said it
was not legally passed, although it had
been signed and promulgated as other
laws were.
They have impoverished the schools
to boast of surplus.

The Police Juries of the Parishes of
fused to license the sale of Intoxicating
liquors in their Parishes. There has
evidently been misrepresentation or
the powers and duties OF Police Jurles
on this subject. The law, without
doubt, leaves the whole question OF Ii
censing grog shops to the Police Jurles,
and they can prohibit or regulate the
sale of Intoxicating liquors without
reference to the State license law
Tim Supreme Court has SO decided, and
it would be we'll for our Police Jury
now in session to thoroughly investi-
gate the question before fixing the am
cunt of license. Sumptuary laws may
be distasteful but patriotism demands
some action on the part OF constituted
authorities to prevent the vice of vices
and the parent of over tWO-tllirds OF
crime in the parish. II this unnecessary
luxury, liquor, is demanded and must
be sold, let the persons who require it
pay indirectly in license the cost Of
criminal expenses, of which it is the d.
rect cause. Let the Police Jury either
prohibit entirely or fix the license at
such figure as will pay into the Parish
Treasury sum sufficient to meet all
the criminal expenses of the parish.
The labor is demoralized, society is inn
paired, life, liberty and property is rem
dered insecure or worthless by this
great vice. We belong to no knights
of Temperance, but every man who
thinks at all would be ready to see this
vice put down. The Police Jury have
now an opportunity to do a patriotic
act, the consequences of which will re-
suit in great good to this parish. Stop
it gentlemen, or fix the license high
enough to pay for all of our criminal ex-
penses. In five years your country will
blossom like the rose, and the women
and children of the land will bless yon
with their prayers. tits true that
the proposition to stop the sale Of liquor
was voted ON and defeated year or SO
ago by the people of this parish, but
this was expected. The best elements
of society voted for it, and to-day the
moral sentiment of the country, which
is largely predominant, will sustain the
Jury in such an action. Try the exper-
iment, for it is high time that some
thing was being done to put an end to
the disgrace and degradation OF society,

AS the next Presidential election
will, in all probability, be run on the
tariff question, the people who are to

themselves on the subject. 1t will be

protection, by the Democrats, with
some OF the common necessaries of

Paper From Cotton seed Hnlls.

In recent circular issued by the
managers of the Worlds Industrial and
Cotton Centennial Exposition, it is
stated that the 100000 bales of cotton
produced in the South last year not only
clothed great portion of the people of
the civilized world, but yielded {, 500, 600
tons of cotton seed above what is re-
CURED for this years planting. All this
seed was capable of producing, under
proper manipulation, 105 100000 gallons
of cotton seed oil, 100000 of oil cake
or meal, and 1,70O, 900 tons of bulls, which
should yield 100000 tons of paper if
used to make paper pulp. The last
statement is of interest to paper man
ufacturers, for 1t cotton seed huIls can
be used for making paper pulp, the vast
quantities of them in the South will
some day be utilized. Being waste
substance, this pnlp-making ma
terial would cost nothing or but little
at the most. 1t may be That the South
will sometime have all her coarse pa
per made at home out of her cotton

Sometime ago a man named Dukes,
nnder promise Of marriage, ruined a
Miss Mutt in Pennsylvania. Her father
called on Dukes about the matter, and
the latter killed him. The murderer
was tried and acquitted, to the disgust
of all good citizens, and to the shame Of
the jury. Young Mutt, brother to Miss
Mutt, afterwards shot and killed Dukes.
A few days ago be was tried and ac-
quilted on the ground of insanity at
the time of the killing, and discharged
after his acquittal because he was no
longer insane. The jurors disgraced
themselves again. He should have
been acquitted because he defended his
own household which the laws of the
country through the regularly consti-
tuted authorities had refused or failed
to do.
