EN- LA CATHEDRAL.

Elocuente, profundo, patetico
estuvo anoche en- la Catedrai ell
senor Llorente. Era Microbes
de Ceniza; ell temple estaba We
lado por grandes sombras; Ell
auditorio tristemente silencioso.
DUerase que Sc sentia sobreco-
gido por la tonante voz del ora
dor que pregonaba la instabiiis
dad y las miserias de la vida
humana, la sentencia fatal & ina
pelable de la muerte que pesa
sobre todo ser nacido, la necesidad
que tiene ell cristiano de esperar-
la convenientemente pertrechado
con la gracia; todo calcado en-
aquellas terribles palabras que
pronuncia la Iglesia al poLer un
punado de polvo en- la frente del
mortal: "Acuerdate, hombre, de
que polvo eres, y al polvo has de
volver."
Ell tema Sc prestaba a ser harto
explotado, y asi sucedi6. Ell exec
lente orador no hay duda que
consigui6 su objeto; porque ell ?.
Llorente es de los oradores espi-
rituales que conmueven, persua-
den y Sc imponen al amino del
Oyente.

taci6n.

Prometimos habiar en- nuestro
nimero anterior de 10 que aeon
tece actualmente en- Maunabo, con
gran alarma de aquellos honrados
vecinos, y vamos a cumplir nues-
ira promesa.
Dates fdedignos que tenemos
a la vista nos informan que el %

ranches de tabaco, llenos de esta
hoja, pertenecientes a D. Trinidad
Arroyo y D. Antonio Morales.
Ambos ranchos quedaron desgra-
ciadamente a merced del voraz
elcmento que Sc ceb6 en- ellos

FL dia siguiente, d las 8 de la
noche, segun Sc nos comunica, Sc
incendi6 una pieza de cafas de
los Sres. CIauzel Hermanos, ha-
cendados de aquella jurisdiction.
Parece que clio fu6 intentional.

En- la misma noche, d ESQ de

incendio, declar6se fuego en- la
hacienda de azdcar LuiSa, que no
hace mucho ha sido rematada a
favor de D. Eugenio Verges.
Sosp6chase asi mismo que este
suceso fue tambien malicioso.
Hay mas.
El dia siguiente, "a, como a las
8 de la noche, volvieron a arder
las pleas de cana del referido Sr.
Verges.
TOdo 10 cual revela al mas ce-
cato un infame designio que 81 no

go de los dos destruidos ran
chos de tabaco tienense por in
tencionales, y a consecuencia de
clio aquel vecindario Sc halla
sumido en- un verdadero sobresal-
to. Y la cosa no es para menos
ciertamente.

The action Of the supreme court Of
Dakota in reversing the decision Of the
court below in the capital commission
case does not end the contest, but merely
prolongs the uncertainty attached to il.
The plaintiffs have appealed from the
decision Of the supreme court Of Da.
kota to the supreme court of the
United States, where the case will be
passed upon outside the atmosphere
which surrounds every movement of i'm
portance here in the territory. This
action on the part of the plaintiffs oper-
ates as supersedeas and prevents the
removal of the capital from Yankton for
at least two years and probably for all
time to come, 80 far as the courts are
concerned. But in the meantime the
legislature will step in and undo the dis
reputable work of the last legislature
and reopen the contest for the location
of the seat of government for Dakota.
The next session will be the most inter-
esting session in the history of Dakota.
1t will witness struggle for supremacy
between corrupting influences and the
honest element which desires settle-
mant OF important questions upon their
merits. The decision of the supreme
court will not be acceptable to those
Dakotaians who oppose practical
endorsement of corruptly procured
enactment, even though the enquiries of
the court did not extend to that particu.
lar feature Of the case. The question of
the right Of territorial legislature to
delegate its legislative power to COM
mittee was the one upon which the de.
cision hinged and it is this which "a
majority of the supreme court of Dakota
says can be done. Authorities differ,
however, and it appears that no Judicial
tribunal is infallible. Instead of settling
the contest over Dakota's seat OF govern.
ment, this decision continues and
iutensifies it,

The politicians say that Senator Harri-
son, of Indiana, Is an aspirant for the
presidency and has gone into the Blaine
camp in the guise Of a dark horse in
search Of the prize. A correspondent
writes of the case:
The position of Senator. Harrison, of
Indiana, in the presidential contest is no
longer prOblematical Blaine took him
up into u high mountain and showed
him the delegates from Name, the half.
breeds from New York, the anti. Cameron
men from Pennsylvania, and the straight
outs from Virginia, and said, "ail these
will I give you when have tired them
out" Harrison yielded to the temptation
and went to New York Saturday to at
tend o conference of Blaine men. OF
course, no one knew what took place,
and there was nothing significant about
it except the presence OF Harrison in O
party of politicians, where he has never
been before. It was understood that
Harrison would hold off as the dark
horse until the attempt to nominate
Blaine had been made in the convention,
which, if unsuccessful after three or foui
ballots, the Indiana men we're to lead of
with vote for him and be followed by
as many Blaine men as could be induced
to go to him. Harrison was to pose as
Garfield did two years ago, and history
was to repeat itself. Therefore. his par
ticlpation in the Blaine conference il
Yew York was surprise 10 his friends
Ono Of them, in reply to a question, con
fessed that Harrison's disclosure of hi.
position was not only premature but un
fortunate. ut is bad policy" he said
ITO be giving things away in advance.
But Blaine is only coquetting with Har
rison, as he is with Logan and other am
bilious men.
