members Of the new territorial CEN
tral committee. find there the
names Of most Of the leading
northern and many of the
southern friends of Ordwayism. 1 find
that the city of Bismarck has been given
two members Of that committee and the
city Of Yankton but one, and that one
the leader of the movement which has
placed us in the power of those who
have been fighting US. You will hardly
expect me to conclude.that such com.
mittee will be friendly to our interests,
and yet this committee has control Of
the politics Of Dakota for the next two
years.
I have had little to do with politics
for many years. but I take an interest
in Watching the work of others and
in drawing my own conclusions.
My conclusions in this instance are
that Yankton county's action at the
Pierre convention puts an end to the
capital contest, either in the courts or
out Of the courts, and fixes it solidly at
Bismarck; that Secretary Teller, having
been invited to go, may accept the invi-
tatlon; that Yankton will remain in
definitely as the tail of the Sioux Falls
kite; that The United States court will
be put on wheels as soon az the legisla-
ture meets. expect the men who have
put US in this condition will now ask to
be "vindicated" by election to various
offices. The OLD Man.

The Great VOcalists and Bell Players To-
Night.
Our exchanges come laden with the
praises Of this old and popular combina-
tion, that are going to visit US and favor
our citizens with two of their concerts
at Turner hall on this and tomorrow
evenings September % and "a. We clip
the following from the Huron Times of
July 81, 1884:
Its gratifying to note the improve
ment in the chatacter Of amusements
which have visited Huron from time to
time during the past two years. In the
words of the popular mind "the last en-.
tertainment is always the BEST" which
statement can aptly be said to be cor
rect when applied to Saturday nights
performance by the "Alleghanians" at
the Rink Opera house. The large audi.
torium was we'll nigh filled with very
enthusiastic and "tony" audience which
alternately drank in the exquisite sweet
tones, and broke out in deafening en-
cores.
The execution of the chorus uf bells,
simply as mechanical feat, was amaz-
ing. In the most rapid and intricate
passages not a note was missed, every
semitone, accidental, fiat or sharp, was
DIRECTLY taken and the time kept with
marvellous fidelity.
1t is indeed treat to listen to the bird
like notes of Miss Medini, the star OF
the company. Hers ls voice that is
not often heard at Huron, and her solos
present all the varying expressiveness OF
Thorough cultivation and artistic train
ing. Miss Hanlon was suffering from q
cold but as mezzo.soprano sang very
sweetly the selections assigned her on
the programme. Miss Hiffert, contralto
and commedienne brought down the
housei with her remarkably masculine
voice and her ridiculous situation. Miss
Willard, though not singer of much
power has the sweetest voice OF any oi
the lady performers for simply ballad
singing, Her smooth and clear tones
made good impression on the audience
The veteran basso, j. M. Bullard is ae
entertaining on the stage as he is off
His winning manners which impress
one go much in his conversation he mys
teriously blends in his singing, whict
is remarkable for man Of seventy years
Walter Field is q splendid comedian

Business at the CushnOc corset works is
not as active as last year. There are sever
al reasons for this. One is the general slug.
gish condition of business througoutthe coun-
try. One Of the propretors says that in ad-
dition to this the continual agitation of the
tariff question has had its effect. Whereas
several years ago buyers were inclined to lay
in large stocks they are now purchasing from
hand to mouth so to speak. This results from
the fear that the tariff, which is now 30 per
cent, may be cut down or totally cut off thus
reducing the piece of goods that amount,
Destroy the tariff on corsets and we shall be
obliged to close our factory. We pay our
girls from $50 to S25 week. In Germany
the wages of girls is but 90 cents week
Remove the tariff and we shall be obliged tc
compete with this cheap foreign labor
Why, two years ago the tariff on oul
product was reduced ) per cent. The
goods deprecated in like ratio and as q
result we were obliged to cut down the
wages of our help and suffered a decrease
in our profits.
