WHAT COL. STEELE SAYS.
Col. ". +. Steele said in response to the re-
suit of the meeting:
Think that the northern part of the territory
is placed on a better footing by the new appor-
than the old: We have up north a
number of newly organized counties which were
not taken into consideration by the men from
Southern Dakota, and which will materially in
crease misrepresentation in the convention. The
result Is quite satisfactory and is a compromise
between the two sections. Under the
former appOrtionment, Southern Dakota had
IA DELEGATES in the convention, and Northern
Dakota only 81. Now that two delegates are
sent from each organized county instead of one
Southern Dakota will have pa representatives
in the convention and Northern Dakota l42,
which Is q somewhat better ratio for the North.

and think the result is quite satisfactory. Tie
discussion was quite warm, but the decision was
regarded as a compromise and will be acquiesced
by all.

CHAMEERsBURG, Dec. 10.
Having been a little tardy for the
last few weeks grasp the present
opportunity to give you a hastily
prepared synopsis ofthe events which
have transpired in the burg and vi
cinity since my last.
On Sabbath, November 23d, Rev.
Ross held his grand rally at lions.
Pre- siding Elder J. Z. Price was pre-
sent and preached a very able SER
mon to a delighted congregation at
1890. At 2:3O Rev. Canoe, OF the
NJ. E. church, preached. The rev.
erend gentleman is certainly very
able and eloquent pulpit orator
Prof. William Howard Day filled the
pulpit at 7;30 in his usual able and
eloquent manner. The services,
taking into consideration the in.
clemency of the weather, were very
well astended. Rev. Ross deserves
and should have the earnest support
of his people and the public generally
in the efforts in which he is putting
forth for the purpose of liquidating
the indebtedness of Zion Wesley
church. Rev. Jones, on the above
date, filled the pulpit in the A. M. E.
and did credit to the occasion.
Rev. Price, Miss Ida Johnson and
a young lady unknown to your cor
respondent, all of ShippeDsburg, at
| tended the Japanese tea party al
Repository Hall ON the evening o.
November 27tb. The entertainment
| was a grand success. The music
was all new aud we'll rendered. The
The tableaus were both handsome
and appropriate.
On the evening Of November 18th
Mrs. Josie L. Bib, of Harrisburg,
gave select readings. Owing to The
evening being very wet and disa
greeable there was email but appre
ciative audience present. Mrs. Bibt
has made host of friends here anC
should she again read in our city
and we hope she may in the nesI
future, she will have not only an ap
preciative audience bat large one

New Orleans Exposition

The colored people of Pcnnsylva-
MIA would doubtless be pleased to
hear from DR.. Tanner, the honorary
commissioner of this State, what he
has done for Pennsylvania in the
way of securing exhibits for the col
ored department of the exposition.
The colored papers of the State have
not been supplied with any informa-
ton to give the public, and the
people wonder if DR.. Tanner has
gone TO New Orleans with the ex.
hibits in his pocket. The appoint
ment of gentlemen like DR.. Tanner
to positions requiring as much &C
tainly a misfit appoistment, and will
always have just such results as the
present. 1t is doubtful if much credit
will be reflected upon the colored
people of this State by the exhibits
made at the exposition, for from
those sections of the State outside of
Philadelphia and a few surrounding
counties little if anything was known
as to what TO do or to whom to apply
for information. The great mistake
DR.. Tanner has made was in ignor-
ing or overlooking the press as a
means to reach the people and keep
them informed.
