ANOTHER FOREIGN FUSS.


The Administration Alternating the
Washington, Dec. 24-This evenings
Star has the following: Consul General
Mueller, whose report upon the feeling
of the German government towards the
United States is likely to lead to- di-
plomatic correspondence between the
two countries, and probably to demand,
on the part of Germany, for Muel!er's re-
call. Mueller comes from the same
town with Representative Foran (Ohio),
who knows him very we'll. Foran says
the report is very characteristic of the
writer, who, he seys, is man
very advanced in liberal views
and o believer in republican
form of government. He is what was
known as 4S'er, having been obliged
to leave Germany, his n-tive country,
on account of his participation in the
revolution of ls48, when the liberal Ger
mans Etrove for q constitutional form of
government. In this country his re-
publican ideas have had full growth, as
well as his antagonism to monarchical
government. When he went back to
his native land as representative of
this country he carried with him all his
American ideas. Foran says further
that he would not have been received
by the German government when ap-
pointed by President Cleveland but for
the fact that during the France-P Prussian
war he visited the fatherland, and
though an ardent republican his sym.
pathles were with his own people and he
rendered German soldiers valuable ser.
vice in hospitals and elsewhere. On
account of this the German government
extended to him pardon for his previous
offences against the government, sc
| that when he was appointed consul gen
eral to represent the United States
there was no objection raised against
him. 1t IS felt to be pretty certain
says the Star, that Germany will de
mand Mueller's recall, and that thi'
government will have to comply, bu
Bayard will not do 80 without making
it pretty plain that we do not recogniz,
the right of any nation to restrict th,
liberty of speech of American citizens
and that it is not held by us to be al
offense to entertain republican ideas
1t is thought this episode will rende
onr relations with Germany still NOR
strained, and she be placed on our Lis
with Austria.

A BIT OF ROMANCE.
Judge Church Once Befriended by his
Predecessor in Office.
Eioux Falls Leader

ShCS by Il1S
Predecessor in Office.
Sioux Falls Leader.
1t is a matter of sincere regret to all
his friends that Judge Seward Smith was
allowed to print and publish such an alb
surd circular aB that which was scatter
ed broadcast among the Legislators and
Others. at Huron, last week. That the
poor mans mind has became unbalanced
was made only too evident by the ridic.
uloHs assertions and ultra-radical views,
especially upon the Mormon question,
expressed in his printed bulletin. These
irrational and ssnseless rawlings would
have been ludicrous coming from sane
man, but emanating from the wreck OF
such mind as Judge Smiths they were
pltiful. his unfortunate physical and
mental condition may be attributed,
first to overwork, and second to the wor.
ry and anxiety undergone prior to his
removal from the bench, the climax
OF which was reached when
without warning, or any explanation,
the office was suddenly taken from him
and given to another. Curiously enough,
the gentleman upon whom the judicial
mantle descended was at one time under
great obligations to Judge Smith. 1t is
asserted that some ten years ago when
Judge Church ana family lived in Des
Moines, they were in such reduced
straits that their condition was deplora.
ble BY some means this came TO Judge
Smiths knowledge, and with the broad
charity of great mind he took the i'll
starred and struggling lawyer and
family into his own house and made
them share his home until their fortunes
improved. When Judge Church reached
Huron. although he knew he was to sup
plant Judge Smith, he little dreamed
it was the same one that had 30 be-
| friended him years before, nor did
Judge Smith realize until they had met
| that his fortunate successor, now n pros
porous lawyer, was idential with the
| luokless Des Moines attorney of earliest
| years Thls romantic story was told the
Leader representative by ap old ac-
quaintance of both families, who formerly
lived at Des Moines and who vouchef
for its authenticity. Judge Smith speaks
| in the highest terms of his successor and
has never alluded in the slightest de-
gree to this little bit OF history. Oi
course there IS nothing in this cir.
cumstance that woul I reflect diseredii
upon Judge Church, or that even savors
of ingratitude. as neither gentlemen had
| the least suspicion until they met of the
others identity. But then nothing that
occurs in Dakota is strange. 1t is a re-
markabie country.

1t is said that Messrs. Boynton, Smith
and MoCarty, of the Dakota democratic
committee, are resposible for the intro
duction inscongress of what is known as
the Fredercks bill, measure providing
for the division of Dakota on the Mis-
souri, river. Such division OF our terri
tory is in opposition to the wishes OF
fully ninety-nlne per cent of its people.
This trio of incipient statesmen possess
representative character and though
their act is not countenanced By theil
constituents at home, it will possess
weight at Washington, where our inter-
ests are unfortunately frequently placed
in the hands of irresponsible knaves
There should be an uprising among the
people and demand upon the demo
cratic committee to call home the in
dividuals who are SO grossly misrepre
enting Dakota in the name of its demo
cracy. 1t is the duty of the quiet stay
at home members of that party to make
themselves heard on this occasion. Th,
Fredericks bill is lible to seriously in
jure the cause of Dakota.

A convention has been called to meet
at Fargo to discuss various public
topics, chief among which is the propo-
sition to divide Dakota on the 46th par
allel. The call for this convention ap-
portions representation therein among
ali the northern Dakota counties and
among only fifteen OF the fifty organ
lied southern counties. The fifteen
southern counties named as being en-
tion are located in the northern portion
OF the south half of Dakota, contiguous
to the 46th parallel. 1t is mentioned in
cidentfy in the call that each county in
Dakota is entitled to one delegate in the
convention and one additional delegate
for every three hundred votes cast at the
election of November, 1885. The strong
division counties of the south one-third
Of Dakota are, however, not named in
the call, though they are inferentially
included. The make up of the conven.
tion, on the face of the call, includes
only the following counties:

mons, Eddy, Foster, Grand Forks

The call further recites:
| No portion of Dakota is excluded fron

| The counties mentioned in the call arr
urgently requested to send full delega
| tions, as the questions to be discussed
are matters of Importance to every citi
zen.
We desire to direct the attention o
| the public and of the newspapers @
south Dakota to this movement. Its os
tensible object is to organize conyen
ton to discnss:
| 1st-The project to connect the water
of Big Stone lake and Traverse lake.
2d-The supreme court decision rela
tive to North Pacific land patents.
3d-The proposed division of Dakot
and the admission of the south hall
division without admission and admis
sion as whole.
The real object of the proposed con
vention is doubtless the construction o
an expression of opinion relative t.
division and conveyance to congress o
such expression through com
mittee selected by the conven
ton for that purpose. Th
suspicious part of the movemen
is that thlrty-five populous souther
counties are not named in the call, Will
all the counties of the north, organized
and unorganized, are given specific
representation IN the convention. Th
counties not named will be tolerated i
the convention, according to the cal
evidently for the purpose of eDablin
its organizers to claim, after the CONVEX
tion is over, that it was convention {
the whole of Dakota.
We do not like the appearance of th
movement. 1t seems to conceal d.
sign unfriendly to the interests of sout

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept 18th, 1850.
"Very seldom do we read OF an actual
case Of recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
ters persons talking to their friends of a
cure, seemingly little short Of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother Of the young man, his pastor
and other persons well known in the COM
munity:
"William Lincoln Curtis Is the name
Of the young mpn in question. He is now
employed at ii. K. Porter & Co.'s loco

ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street About that time he went to bed
one evening with a violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, Of cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into a
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
ale gradually grew worse, and in few
months the elbow and knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the cheek bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, spreading his face out Of all resem-
blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense; fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added and
he became rapidly reduced to the semblanc of
a skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his sufferings were OF
such an indiscribahle character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be
better If he was called away. At this time
physicians well known in Pittsburgh in formed
his parents tn Il they could give no hopes of
recovery.
"The young man finally commenced taking
that wonderful medicine, PgRuNA. In two
weeks quite change for the better, was per-

been reduced completely, while in spirits and

Like her, they are single screw steel vessels,

difference comes in. The Boston and

Esmeralda's engines are 5000 horse power,
and she runs eighteen knots an hour. When
