THEIR WORK ENDED.

Close of the Third PIenhry Council.
-Four weeks ago the Third Plenary Council
OF tho Catholic Church In the United states
was opened In the Cathedral in Baltimore
with splendid procession through tho
streets from the Archblshop's residence to tho
Cathedral. Since that day tho House OF
Bishops and the College OF Theologians have
discussed ana completed the scheme arranged
during the visit OF the American prelates 70
Rome; Although the sessions MS, were 4, secret
been learned through interviews with us lead
rhe most important business before the
body was the Introduction OF canon law. The
great objection TO this was the tact that tho
Church is not sufficiently organized In some
provinces to receive tho canon law. This is
particularly the case In the Western and
Northwestern States and Territories. II Was
decided 10 adopt these laws In the provinces
that are thoroughly organized, and so much OF
them as can be used In the other States and
Territories.
This decision involved a great amount OF
labor, and II was on that account principally
that IL was necessary TO continue the SEES
The church In the United States, therefore,
Will hereafter beam organized body, governed
by the canon laws, and is no longer mission

tories, whore the laws cannot be introduced.
There was considerable discussion In the
These dances were prohibited by the council
OF 1865, and II 10 likely that the people will be
reminded Of the fact In tho pastoral letter,
which Will be read In the churches as soon as
the bishops and priests return to their par

His loitor Will also recommend that drink.
Ing DO not allowed at picnics and excursions,
and Will probably request that lotteries be
done away with at church fairs.
Since tho cable dispatch from Iiomo was 70.
ceived announcing that the Pope had created
nino cardinals, and only named eight, IL has
been believed here that the Pope ts about to
appoint another American cardinal. Many
members OF the council believe tho honor Will
fall TO Archbishop Gibbone.
The closing secret session OF the council was
held Saturday. The principal business was the
completion OF the pastoral letter, which will
be read In all the churches In the United States
two weeks from yesterday. The last solemn
public session was held yesterday. High mass
was celebrated at tho Cathedral by Bishop
UorrigaD, OF New YORK. Bishop Rlordan, OF
San Francisco preached on the "perpetuity
OF tho Church."

THE NAVY FRAUDS.
The Demurrers OycrruIed by Judge
Wyltp.

Judge wylie in the Criminal Court this
morning made a decision on the demurrer
argued last Saturday in the case of August
Burgdorf and e. o. Kirkwood, charged with
violating sections 541S, 5421 and $3.50 OF the
Revised Statutes, known as the Navy Depart.
ment frauds. All the objections urged IN sup
port OF the demurrer were OF the most astute
and refined character, and mono OF them went
TO the merits of the Indictment or operate TO
the Injury OF the rights OF tho defendants,
and as mono OF their rights were endangered
he saw no ground for quashing the Indictment,
and should override the demurrer and require
the defendants to plead 10 the merits OF tho
indictment.
Judge wylie said OF course the same judg-
mont would apply 10 the other cases In which
similar demurrerB had been found, and an
order TO that effect would be entered.
District Attorney Worthington said that tho
demurrere TO the nrst series OF cases remained
yet TO be disposed OF. They wore somewhat
different from the second series, and had not
yet been argued.
Judge wylie said that no would hear the ar.
gument on them next Saturday.
Mr.. Williams noted an exception to the
ruling OF the Court overruling the demurrer
In the second cases, and that will probably
carry them TO the General Term.

The District Commissioners aud Inspector
OF Buildings Entwisle have made an exami-
nation OF Lincoln Hall, which Is to be occupied
ehortly by Herzog Il Co., Of Baltimore, as a
Dime Museum, as to Its degree OF safety from
fro or disaster OF any character. They found
the building perfectly safe as far as strength
is concerned, and the number and size Of the
exits were found to be pretty satisfactory.
Same suggestions about erecting standpipes
|zand hose In case OF IRE and putting moro light
In the hall are being compiled with.

A. You Like Il.

The cry, I'VE must have q south Da-
kota man for congress- IL pretty stale.
Our present delegate secured the passage
Of two important measures out OF the ll3
that were passed. This IL better than
any other man has done who has ever
represented the Territory. The Pettigrew
opposition have raised the cry any south
Dakota man." and claim they have no
candidate when the fact in the case is
that they expect to bring in Mr.. Mellette,
OF WATERFOWL, as a dark horse and hope
10 &C ,op the convention with him. OF
Mr. Meilette, personally, We hear nothing
but tho highest encominens on his char
acser. II is not, therefore, this gentle
mar we object to-it ia the scheming.
u~ader-hand, sneaking, lying methodstha
are being adopted by the psudo friends
who are grooming him. They seek TO
defeat a man who is the soul Of honor by
starting the cry, le ''hasn'l secured our
division, and he could have done 30 fine
had not been Indifferent to our interests"
q statement as false as are the men I'M
pSincipled and contemplate who make II.
Could Mr.. Pesigrew or any other man have
madethe democratic majority in congress
see IL to their advantages to either admit
south Dakota as a state or divide the Ter
ritority. Certainly not. Why? Simply
because they did o want II In the eloc-
torial college in the first instance, be-
cause IL wouli DO overwhelmingly re-
publican, and in the second, the chances
for two republican states with four sen
ators and ten or twelve representatives
would have been equally az much rer.e
lican. In the very nature Of things It
would have been impossible 10 accomp-
hsh either Of the objects which Ray
mond's enemies claim he could have
done-hence the cry 10 simply . make
shit to hide the scheming Of the bosses
te defea, the choice Of the masses Of the
people.
Petiigrew has a candidate, and II that
candidate Is aware Of his intention and
approves his method, he is unworthy the
honor, because no honorable man will
seek 10 belltle the good work OF hi
neighbor 20 advance his own selfish In.
tarests. We do not believe Mr.. Melletts
IL so unprincipled as TO train with . crowt
who resort 10 methods that pot-houss
politicians and political plug uglies woult
scron to stoop to.
Besides, he can't afford TO be reckonet
among the the bosses. the men who claim
TO own tho voters Of Dakota body ant
soul.
