LEGISLATURE.

A bill has passed the council pro.
viding fer a convention TO be held
at Sioux Falls for the organization
Of a state which is to embrace the
territory south Of the 10th parallel.
The election Of delegates is to take
place June 30th.
On the 10Th Mr.. Pettigrew pre-
sented a petition in the council
from Mrs. Marietta NJ. Bones and
others, asking the passage Of the
woman's suffrage bill, which was
referred to the committee on cleo
tions. The prospect is that this
bill will pass. Our exchanges seem
to think the Governor will veto it.
We don't. We firmly believe it
will become a law.
The discussion Of the Sphinx coun-
ty trouble still continues. Why the
assembly don't make those fellows
in Sphinx pay for their o. foolish
ness is a mystery to US.
A proposition to repeal the laws
against usery was laid on the table.
A great many private bills we're
passed and the legislature seems to
be working with a will.

The associated press announces
the death Of Mrs. John B. Raymond,
in Washington, yesterday. The
deceased had many friends in Far
60, who viii be panied at this un-
expected announcement. The del
egate has the sympathy of all his
friends in this sad bereavement.
Mrs. Raymond was e refined lady, a
loving wife and a devoted mother,
who through all her invalid years
maintained the most loyable Of dis
positions. Her husband and little
daughters are entitled to and will
receive avery expression Of con-
dolence in their irrsparabls loss.

During q riot at Eureka, CAL, be-
tween Chinese, z stray bullet killed
David Kendall, q member Of the city
council. Another severely wounded
q boy. The news created such ex-
citement that a mass meeting was
called. Over q thousand citizens
responded. Resolutions Of indigna-
tion at the lawless acts of the Chi
ness we're adopted. A committee
was appointed to notify the Chinese
that they must all leave the city.
Groups Of citizens visited each Chi
nese house, compelled them to pack
up their effects, and then marched
them 80 a large warehouse. where
they r imprisoned, awaiting the
departure Of a steamer for San
Francisco. A second mass meeting,
attended by 1900 was held. A
standing committee was appointed,
empowered to prevent any Chinese
from locating in that city in the
future,

You can hardly get q boy to learn
a trade in the regular way any
more. He will probably stick at
the business a couple Of years, and
then he wants journeyman's wages.
Serving three OF four years of an
apprenticeship is too plodding aud
commonplace for a boy now. He
wants TO get to the front sooner or
he won't work. There must be an
end to all these things, The con-
ditions which the business methods
OF the past twenty-four years have
rproduced are unnatural and nnfor-
tunate. The facts are speculation
10 a delusion, Ii losses oftener than
it wins. 1t makes tramps and mis-
cry one hundred times where it
makes fortunes once, The old plan
Of earning wealth by producing it is
the safest and best. While honest
labor does not always have its rights
the possibilities are such in this
glorious land Of ours that any man
with good health and manly strength
can make a good living, almost any
wheae at any time. II the Socialist
of Chicago or New York, would
scatter out over the country and st
tempt to make an honest living by
honest work they would be doing q
better thing far themselves and
mankind than to be meeting on
Sundays and adding fuel to the
already blazing fame Of discomfort.

Although be are just outside the
limits Of Day Co., we do the most
of our business there. Less than
two years ago the first settler broke
soil in u town, but now it contains
quite a population Of live energetic
class Of people and early in the
spring many more with their faml-
lies will take possession OF their
claims.-A great amount OF virgin
soil was turned over last season,
although all seem to be working in
to stock as fast as their means will
permit. This is right, al we have
the finest stock country in the world
Stock Of all kind is looking well and
most farmers have hay plenty and
to spsre.-By the way, / wander IL
we cannot boast Of the largest barn
in the country, some German boys
south-we Of Horse Shoe Lake have
one 32xl62 feet Of sod and built in
a first-class manner, who can beat
this. -Last Thursday night about
80 persons took possession OF the
residence Of d. Z. Potter it being
the 18th birthday Of his daughter
Ella. The evening was happily
spent by all present. When the
proper time came the ladies furnish
ed us with a bountiful supper. Mrs.
LeBarns in a few well chosen words
presented Miss Ella q few handsome
presents so kindly furnished by
those present. At a late hour all
went to their places of abode feel
ing well paid for their evenings visit
Ii was a time long to be remember
ed by those present.-A short time
ago Mr.. Lenard had the misfortune
to loose a fine young COW, Mrs. Wal
lace also lost one of her horses
Marriages, none at present but by
the way some of the young men are
performing | think we will not have
as may bachelor shanties by spring.

Dakota lands are now as low as
they can possibly 60, and the peo-
pie of tie east who contemplate
coming to Dakota to buy lands,
either az a speculation or for the
purpose Of making homes, could
not find a nor opportune time.
As a speculation, the man who has
the cash to invest within the next
three months, can safely rely on
doubling his money before the close
Of the year; and those who would
make them q cheap home could not
find q better time to invest a little
capital than now.

The woman suffrage measure now
before the Dakota legislature finds
supporters in that body and may
become a law. A few years ago a
similar bill was before the Dakota
Legislature and for the joke of the
thing the wags of the house passed
it through that body, in the belief
that it would surely be killed in the
council. 1t was finally defeated in
that body by one majority, and
after some lively missionary work by
the funny men of the house.

1t will be recollected that Sir
Garnet Wolseley, the commander of
the army that has been eireckmated
by the undisciplined hordes Of FL
Mahdi, is the man who ascribed the
principal military ability developed
in the war of the rebellion to Gener-
ais Lee and Jackson, and sneered at
the great commander of the Union
forces as "Mr." Grant. The mis-
takes that Wolselsy has made in his
Egyptian campaign that have proved
so disasterous to his army and to
Gordon will enable the world to
place a correct estimate upon the
value Of his military criticisms.

in illicit whiskey. Until recently no de-
termined effort has beon made to suppress
it. In January lust Mr.. ]. W. Bailey, OF
this place, Mt the instance of some of the
citizens, accepted appointment as United
States Deputy Marshal with the under
standing that his operations were to be
confined mainly to this immediate sec
tion. Up to this time he has made sew
eraI arrests of persons, whites and blacks,
who have been selling whiskey unlaw-
fully. =. 49,.
it is rumored very generally that Mr..
Bailey intends to or has already resigned.
It is conceded that he is ..the right man in
the right place." and Is there is general
sentiment in favor of The suppression of
the traffic there is considerable surprise
at his resignation or its contemplation.
Will he give the public his reasons
therefor?

met at Piedmont on Thursday, 7th Inst,
and closed the business of pleasant sos.

President, and conducted the business
with much ease and despatch. The at
tendance: was large, So delegates and min
listers being present the first morning,
while large number Of visitors were
present at each session.
Col. II. P. Hammett, President Of the
Piedmont Manufacturing Company, made
a speech of welcome, and invited us In o
cordial manner to the hospItalities OF this

And we were well entertained, indeed,
and all the visitors have pleasant memo
ries Of the few days stay with the kind
families of Piedmont.
ought to have said that Geo. T.. Prince
was chosen Secretary, and found that he
had his hands full to keep up with fifteen

who had some talking ability
There was preaching twice each day
and Revs. w. S. Martin, ". H. Kirtson,
W. D, Kirkland, P. E. OF Cokesbury Dis
trict. and others preached sermons which
gave food for thought, and, no doubt did
much good The spiritual interest Of the
Church was carefully looked into, and
while it was fonnd that the membership
do not live up to high spiritual standard
in every-respect, nor sho " the large lib
erality that they ought yet are there
many devoted men and women in the
Church, striving to live for God and
Heaven, and willing to labor and contri-
butte money for Zion welfare: HOW in
spring are such meetings. While there
are found many things to he deplored,
yet is each one present Impressed with
the fact that he i. not atone i'll trying to
live right, and that many, very many,
others are studying how ,bestyto put the
wrong right, and arc willing to spend and
DO spent in rurthering the interests Of the
Masters Kingdom. All this, and more,
was realized In our late District Confer
encc,. and no doubt the good results will
extend and remain for days to come.
