A subcommittee of the committee on
resolutions appointed for the national
republican convention listened to an in.
teresting address by Alexander Sullivan,
OF the Irish national league, upon the
subject of the ownership of American
lands by foreigners who are building up
landed aristocracy in the west by
the purchase of immense tracts
OF land. He stated that foreign land
lords now own 20,0OO,OO acres of Amer
ican soil and said it was time to stop
their encroachments by legislation re-
quiring land owners to become citizens.
He asked the convention to recommend
suitable legislation to congress.

The secretary of the southeastern Da-
kota industrial association, J. H. G.
Young, has good scheme IN his mind.
He proposes to interest adjoining coun-
ties in the annual foirs held at Yanktop.
by giving them the privilege Of erecting
buildings of their own upon the associa.
tion grounds and giving exhibitions of
the products of their localities in con.
nection with the general exhibitions.
BY this means those counties which
choose to interest themselves would be
given an individuality in the exhibitions
and an opportunity to place themselves
in competition with other counties. A
special premium to the county making
the best exhibit would prove stimulat-
ing feature. The plan which Mr.. Young
has in his mind would give to the coun-
ties which permanently interest them.
selves voice in the management of the
affairs of the association and an interest
in its property. Leading citizens of
Bon Homme county have expressed
themselves as favorable to the arrange.
ment. This association possesses ample
grounds and costly improvements and
also one of the best racing tracks in the
west. 1t is in excellent shape to extend
it's jurisdiction and take in half a
dozen or more counties in southeastern
Dakota or northeastern Nebraska.

vention the two Dakota delegates
divided, one vote gong to Lynch and
the other to Clayton for temporary

though neither had voted. Clayton was

the one Dakota vote he received was cast
by Colonel Jolley.

1t required considerable strength of
purpose and of numbers in the national
convention to extend a marked recogni.
tion to thetcolored people of the United
States by pulling down q precedent Of
forty years standing and ignoring the
selection for the temporary chairmanship
made by the national committee. John
Lynch, colored delegate from Miss,s.
sippi, was placed in the chair in opposi.
tion to the dictation of q majority of the
committee and by majority of forty
four votes in the convention. He appears
to have filled the difficult position with
credit to his race and to his party and
though the honor was unsought and in
opposition to his personal desires, be
accepted it with the dignifed bearing OF
statesman, and conducted the prelimi.
nary work of the convention as ably as
any of his white brethren could. At the
last national convention B. r. Bruce, a
colored delegate from Mississippi, occu
pied the chair for brief period, at the
request of Chairman Hoar. The first
design was to make Mr.. Bruce temporary
chairman of the present convention, but
he declined the honor, and the choice
then centered upon Mr.. Lynch.

THE NEW SCHOOL, uo,Ise.

The bids for the erection of the
new school house will be opened to-
day, but the probabilities are that it
will be too late to announce the sue
cessful bidder in this issue. The
plans and specifications, which are
very thorough, are by Mr.. D. w.
Willard, of st. Paul, and they reflect
credit upon the architectural resour-
ces of the metropolis. The building
is designed to be of brick. with Min.
niger and Kasota stone trimmings
feet 8 inches. The cellar will be 8
feet. in the clear, and the two stories
above it will be IL feet. and Ii feet 6
inches in height, respectively. The
main doorway opens into spacious
hall, from which corridor feet in
width runs to the opposite side of the
building. Two school rooms will be
upon this first floor, each "a feet in.
by % feet provided with cloak rooms,
and closets necessary for teachers
uses and the storage Of apparatus.
On the second floor slight modifica-
ton of the plans will give two more
rooms for class and recitation pur-
poses, of nearly the same dimensions
Of those below. The floors will be
double, and the walls wainscoted to
the usual height. The heating and
ventilating plan is well conceived, land
gives every assurance that the chill
dren will have an abundance of fresh
and wholesome air, while the lighting
will be up to the usual standard Of
such work. These are important
considerations, as large share Of the
success of both teachers and pupils.is
due to the maintaining of all the
requirements for preserving the phys
ical welfare Of both. A large cistern,
with capacity Of 100 barrels will be
built in the cellar, thus insuring a
sufficient and healthy supply of water
for the uses Of the school. Taking it
altogether, this structure seems to be
designed for the best possible results
and we are sure it will add to Il 8
already well established reputation Of
Morris as an educational centre.

We understand that it is the inten-
ton Of the owners Of the lower eleva-
tor to take it down and re-erect it at
Norcross. AS an Improvement on
this scheme we would suggest that
the merchants Of Morris should form
a company TO purchase it anG operate
it for their joint benefit during the
coming season. There is no doubt
that rather than assume the expense
necessarily attendant upon such a
removal. the present owners would
sell at what would be considered q
low figure. Its Of the utmost i'm
por,ance TO the future welfare Of the
village that our merchants lose 10 OPP
portunity to- secure to it by co opera
tive efforts the trade which the ae-
ton we have suggested would insure.

that the Milwaukee and ST. Paul com
pany is ut the back of this scheme.
and if that be true, we can look out
Tor lively times. The policy Of this
company has always been more lib
eral than that Of the Manitoba or
Northern Pacific, and there are those
in Dakota who are eagerly waiting
for opportunities to get even with
these corporations for their alleged
extortions. The more the merricr,
