STATE AFFAIRS.

The Virginia Enterprise truthfully
remarks that cit is curious common
tary on the political situation in Ne
vada, that though we are called on to
elect over fifty wise men to assemble in
legislative capacity, not a word has
been even whispered on the stump in
regard to State affairs. The press here
and there has had the presumption to
discuss propositions pertaining to home
rule, but not a speaker has uttered a
syllable. The vital question of remod-
cling the organic law of Nevada is an
issue Of transcendental interest to her
people, and yet no orator has opened
his mouth to indicate the safe path to
pursue"
It may be asserted, without fear OF
contradiction, that not one of the hun.
dred candidates for the Legislature now
before the people has publicly expressed
his views on the question of calling
convention to revise the Constitution,
or given his ideas as to the best and
most feasible method of reducing the
expenditures of the State and county
governments. Years ago it was the
custom for candidates for the Legisla-
ture to express themselves on local
affairs, but that custom has become
obsolete.

the confirmation of McCulloch as Sec.
rotary of the Treasury. The story
goes that he has not had friendly
feeling for McCulloch for years, grow

step was taken in the face of protest

Laboring people should ask for nothing that IL

right You exercise great power, and should
organize so as to use it effectively.

convention?' / represent the Democracy of Mas

workingmen. We have right ID

If they are not, then they are not true Demo-
Gratis. They are only Democrats in name, and I
warn you not to be deceived by mere phrases, by
mere platforms, constructed to deceive people fol
an hour and to be forgotten Immediately after
the election. Examine the candidates, search the
records, and ask whether or not the man seeking
your support, by his life, by his conduct, by his
career, is entitled to be considered friend Of
the laborer regardless of the platform upon
which he stands, party name which he wears,
and only support the man whose record answer.

Iron and Steel Workers.

ST.. LOUIS, July 5.-The Age Of Steel pub
fishes to-day over ninety letters from leading
manufacturers of engines, iron and wood
working machinery, steam pumps, hardware
specialties and iron roofing in the principal
cities east of ST. Louis, setting forth the
present condition of these industries, and
giving reports as to the outlook of the trade
in these lines during the next six months.
1t appears from these letters that the condi
ton of the business in these industries is
not as bad as has been represented, and that
the aggregated sales for the first six months
of this year is considerably greater than those
for the last half of 1888. Engine builders
are well engaged and in some instances be-
hind with their orders. Manufacturers OF
wire are working to their fullest capacity.
There appears to be more business depres-
sion in the east than the west. The present
dizziness of trade in some departments and
the low scale of prices prevailing, is attribu-
ted to the want of confidence induced by late
failures in New York, and uncertainty as to
the the tariff legislation and political strug-
gle now fairly commenced. A majority OF
correspondents anticipate fair trade during
the remainder of the year.

keynote Of the revenue reform campaign.
The failure OF the New York delegates to
caucus for candidate to present to the con-
vention is vigorously commented upon. The
word had been given that no action would be
taken pending the arrival of the full delega-
ton, and this prevented in itself any test
vote. 1t is generally recognized that in the
final action that OF the New Workers will have
great weight in its bearing upon the actions
of nearly all the southern and
majority of the western states, and it is also
now conceded that the contest inside the
delegation is very close one, and owing to
this fact, it is contended in acme quarters
the friends of two of tic leading candidates
are not anxious to make premature meas
of their respective strength.
Tomorrow is expected to witness the ar
rival of practically all the delegates and the
marching organizations.

THE DAKOTA APPOINTMENTS.
Arthur's Late Appointments Severely
Criticised in Washington.
Pierce for Governor and Perry for Judge
of Dakota.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


WASHINGTON, July 5.-There is growing
disposition to criticise some of Mr.. Arthur's
recent appointments. His appointment OF
nonresident and stranger as governor OF
Dakota is severely commented on. 1t wash
glazing violation of one of the strongest
planks in the Republican platform and that
makes it obnoxious to many Republicans,
who recognize the fact that their party is to
have hard time pulling through this year,
and do not think it can afford to take any
risks of open shamming-pro claiming prin-
in practice. This feeling is intensified
by the fact that Col. Pierce,
the appointee, has been known as the most
fulsome fatter of Arthur, personally, while
his paper, the Chicago Ne1cs, is the most con-
spicuous bolter of Blaine's nomination, and
both before and since the nomination has
been filed with the bitterest attacks on the
tattooed man from Maine and his Black Jack
associate. Arthur's appointment of Pierce
under these circumstances is regarded not
only in bad taste, but in defiance of party in
terest.
Dakota men here are severe in their criti-
cisms of Delegate Raymond's course in the
matter, as it not only put him in the position
of opposing the selection of a citizen OF his
of his own territory, but added to his open
lobbying for Arthur, places him in antago-
nism to the next administration, whether
Blaine or Democrat be elected.
But the worst nomination made for Dakota
is that of young Perry, for associate justice
Iof to,,r 81 -,
versally denounced as an outrageous act OF
personal favoritism on the part of Arthur.
Whether it was done to pay a debt to some
convention wotker, or to accommodate MEM
Der of his cabinet it was an ineXcusablG
thing for the president to do. Young Perry
is boy, hardly twenty-five years old, with
no knowledge of law or education of any
kind to fit him for so important a post. He
has simply been personal clerk to Secretary
Folger, is insignificant in appearance, has
no professional or social standing, and ia
destitute of any qualification
whatever for the supreme judge
ship of great territory. There
is not an apologist in Washington for this
outrage on right and decency by "Chet," the
fellow who according to Bob Ingersoll, will
go down to fame as ''the only president OF
the United States who ever went out of offict
with hundred an eighty pairs of breeches."

prominent Choctaw leader, has been out
lawed and driven into the Cherokee nation,
where he has a gang of about thirty men,
mostly desperate characters, who have raj
lied to his support. Fifty Choctaw militia
men were called out, and the Cherokee aus
thorities asked to cooperate with the militii
in effecting the arrest of Hoyt's gang. War.
rants are issued for the arrest of Hoyt fol-
burning the Choctaw court house. A fight IL
