The Election in the House.

The provisions of the Twelfth
amendment 20 the Constitution OF the
United states relating TO the manner in
which a President and Vice-Presidont
shall be selected i'm case there is no
election by the Electors chosen by the
people arc so curious that it is difficult
to conceive what the real object of the
trainers OF the instrument was. In case
no candidate shall re Give majority of
the Electoral votes the selection of n
President deYolves on the House Of
Representatives, which votes by States,
each state being cntitle to one vote.
Upon tho Senate, however. rests the
duty Of selecting q Vice President
While thorc'dOes not now seem 10 bs
probability of the election bein0
thrown into the House should such be
the case the vote would doubtless
stand: For Cleveland y, for Blaine lG,

The following States show Demo-
cratic ma.Orities i'm their House delcga-

the Democratic candidate for President.
Alabama Arkansas, California, Con-

Florida, I'm which delegation the.e

Read listers would probably cast the
vote Of the State for Blaine. The North.
crn section embraced i'm the LISTS not so
large, but it contains such important
states as New York, Ohio, Indiana and
Wisconsin.
The States that would vote for Blaine
arc Colorado, illinois, Iowa. Kansas.

If Mr. Blaine could remove the con
tradiction which his denial of the Madi-
gan circular presents TO tho fact that he
stacked thousands of them i'm his house

ism would DO olcotual to relieve him
OF falsehood and demagogy.
II MIR. Blaine could dccentlv account
for the million which lac has neither

be power TO change bribery to virtue
and vote-Selling To ideal honorableneSs.
III Mr. Blaine could maintain hIs rirht
TO respect, with the evidence that every
unclcan and rapaciouS element i'm poll
tics is solid for him, magnetism
would develop n missionary capability
far beyond the crcdulity even of the
four old pastors
IL mr. Blaine could exhibit the reason
why any honorable man>~'ould fail to
resent such letter rs fisher wrote -

be synonymous with The meekncss
which is Co be blessed with the inherit
ance OF the whole earth
If Mr.. Blaine could disclose UPRIGHT
considerations at the basis of his action.
which made the Department Of State an
asset I'm guano syndicate, magnetism
would transmutc pelf into patriotism.
If Mr.. Blaine could copyright his rec
ipe OF recovering from sunstrolSc. the
moment n committee of investigation
has suspended its sittings, magnetism
would become a means oil gain as well
rs means of gra g.
If Mr.. Blaine could show that nc went
on his knees to Mr.. Muligan purely to-
make his trousers bag, magnetism
woald be invaluable TO the praying
band around every Congress.
If Mr.. Blaine could supply moral
cause for Mrs. Morrill's lightly bottled
thunder, magnetism would make n
mimic Ajax OF him in moment.
II Mr. Blaine could relate Che connec-
tion of his 500, 900 Washington house
to his solicitude for the rights OF the
poor man, magnetism would stand him
in rs good use as IA rope does to = man
beyond his depth.
If Mr. Blaine could indicate why he
let innocent American citizens rot i'm
British dungeons, while Secretary of
Foreign Affairs, and the kinship of that
fact to his present bid for Irish votes.
magnetism would at once rise TO the
dignity of n miracle-working power.
II Mr.. Blaine could bridge tie chasm
of Inconsistency between his refusal to
vote on prohibition and his promise TO
vote for IT, magnetism would be hailed
as the name of new mixed drink, in
stead OF the last refuge of stranded
candidate.
If Mr.. Blaine could induce bankers,
merchants and honest business men
generally TO believe that Mr.. Elkins'
and Mr. Dorscy's candidate is a safe
man TO be President magnetism would
work a revolution in the laws OF cause
and ehcct which would excite equal
wonder and admiration
AS it IS not in the province of mag
netism 10 do any OF these things, or to
content the people with an omission to
do them. magnetism is very unlikely to
make Mr.. Blaine President OF the
United States. - AibdHy ArgUs.

lice OF law. he mad been 3 Jack6OD1an
Democrat all his life, but became Re.
publican at the breaking out of the war,
and remained SO until the end of
his days. He was sent by
that party to the Legislature in 1864, and
was appointed United States district at.
torney in 1871. He held the latter po-
sition until the tune of the whisky ring
trials in 1875, when he was succeeded
by the present incumbent, Mr.. Hazel
ton. Judge Hubbell's death occurred
in December, 1876. It was the result of
fall upon slippery sidewalk in front
of the First National Bank.
S. B. Hubbell was born in Milwaukee
in April, 1854. His mother dying and
his father marrying again, he spent
much OF his time with his maternal re-.
latives IN Fond du Lac. He began the
study and practice of medicine in that
city. In 1870 he went to New York to
perfect his medical education, graduat-
ing from Bellevue Medical College in
1875. After practicing for time at
Fond du Lac, he went to Medford, Tay-
lor County, where he has since resided,
practicing medicine most of the
time, but not making that his
exclusive occupation. He was coun-
ty treasurer of Taylor County
in 1881, and subsequently, figured in
politics to some extent. He also did q
sort of banking business, being the
founder Of the s. B. Hubbell Exchange,
which was opened in 1881. He was q
member of numerous secret societies.
He was an accomplished, brilliant fel-
low, and generally liked, but condemned
for bis fatal disposition to indulge in
illicit gallantry.
DR.. Hubbell leaves brother who is
in the law and was probate judge OF
Oconto County few years ago, and an
other brother who is an editor in Cali
fornia. He also leaves sister, whose
present residence is not known.

DAKOTA
a Shipping Point.

Pierre is a shipping point for all
Black Hills freight sent over both the
Chicago & North Western and Chicago.
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railways. Ship
ments via. the latter line to it's Missouri
River terminus at Chamberlain are sent
up the river to Pierre for trans-shipment
to the Hills. The traffic between
Pierre and Deadwood is immense. In
the transportation of freight there are
10000 oxen and mules and 1900 men
constantly employed. the tonnage
amounting to about 20, 600, 600 pounds
per annum, and the money annually paid
for freightiDg, amounting to over $780,
900 is expended in Pierre.
Pierre sthe dquarters for Military
and Ranch Supplies forwarded by river
to the various forts and military posts
and to different points along the ssBig
Muddy" where small settlements have
sprung up. Pierre has the trade, alto
gether. of not less than $4,000 people.
including Indians. U. s. A. Quarter
masters Office, government storehouses,
and Offices of Collector of Customs,
and Internal Revenue Collector are To-
Gated here. In the river traffic there
are twenty-five steamers engaged during
the season, plying between Pierre and
points above and below.
Building Activity.
During the past season there was
erected brick courthouse, three brick
business blocks, and over 300 wooden
buildings, involving an expenditure of
over 81 500, 900. There is now in pro-
cess of erection the Park Hotel, brick
structure 100x12O, four stories high, and
everything indicates that there will be q
great increase in building during the
year 1884, and there will be an active de-
mand for building material and mechan-
les in all branches of trade.
The first industry established in Pierre
was brick making, of which there was
manufactured last season over 1000, 600
of superior quality, and arrangements
have now been completed to manufact-
ure more than 8, 000, 900 the coming sea-
son. There is great demand here for
iron work, and foundry and machine
shop which could make cast pieces for
buildings, breaking plows for the farm
ers, and do repair work on implements
and steamboats,, would do a very profit
able business. s-

a Manufacturing Business
can easily be established at Pierre. ow.
ing to the low freight rates obtained,
competition between river and railroad
transportation, the abundance OF wood.
which is now selling for 81 q cord, and
the immense quantity of coal and other
raw material in the adjacent reservation
west of the river.
a Jobbing Trade
has already been developed by Pierre mer-
chants with the Black Hills and the
country up and down the river, and
with lower rate Of freight than can be
obtained at Watertown or Huron. or
any other point in South Central Dako-
