The bill has passed the legislature re-
creating the counties of Clark and
Meade. The six-miIe homestead strip
on the west side Of old Clark county has
been attached to Meade, which makes
both counties the same size, thirty miles
wide. This matter has been watched
with considerable interest by many of
our people, as many of them were con
siderably interested, particularly In
Meade county. The addition Of the six
mile strip alluded to virtually lays out
Carthage, Rainbelt and West Plains.

Hon. Geo. ID. Orner to the position of

session of 1888. Since then he Las been
devoting most Of his time to the position
of special agent Of the government in
the examination Of land matters i'm the

here, and his many friends will rejoice
To learn of his promotion. His first
term of court III this county will be com

which will be the 2lst day of that
month. We will be entitled to three
terms each year, under the new law,
the times being the third Tuesdays Of
January, April and October. Judge
Oner, claiming Barber county as his

Dodge City Times: The whiskey men
IN Dodge are indulging in agonizing
feelings, over the prospects Of the pass
age Of the new prohibitary law. Touse
the language ofa wellknown prohibitions
ist, the proposed law is n ''stem -wInder. -
To show the agitation OF the mind on
this question We will state that a bogus
dispatch WAS received stating that the
senate had indefinitely postponed the
bill. A report was current Oh Tuesday
that a car load Of beer destined for
Dodge, had been ordered back. Imagine
the feelings OF beer drinkers over the
prospects Of no beer. Whether prohibi-
tion will reach Dodge this season IL is
hard to say but II seems likely probable.
There Is danger, however, Of lightning
striking at any time, but whether these
will be thunder bolts or vivid flashes IL
Is impossible to conjecture. At any
rate, tho saloon man now its on the

A san Antonio correspondent of the
Kansas City Live Stock Record saws
that VIII Lambert, secretary of the
Texas Live Stock association, was I'm
Nan Antonio last week, and expressed
himself as believing that there will be
little II any trouble in getting cattle out
OF Texas this spring. The same cores
pondent also says that Mr.. J. G. Mccoy.
OF Kansas, the gentleman who took such
leading part In the St. Louis Cattle
Convention, has been in San Antonio
for several days past. He says. "If
Texas had been satisfied, at st. Louis
with what Kansas was willing to grant
them, and what Texas is glad to get
now, there would he no opposition TO il.
But they insisted in following the
Dodge trail right over lands owned. and
J some cases fenced by the owners, and
that Kansas would not stand It," He
thinks Texas Is willing to 20 further
west, but the dictatorial bearing of her
representatives at st. Louis; aroused
such opposition that II will be n hard
matter "a. get Texas cattle through Kan
sas at all. lie Is OF the opinion, how
ever, that an arrangement will be ef-
fected to get the cattle throush this

HOTEL RYAN.

Tonight the Hotel Ryan will be formally
opened with banquet. The event is one
of unusual significance TO this city. A
million-dollar hotel is something that any
city might be proud of. 1t is something
that but few can boast of. The building Of
such hotel in young Western city gives
to our Eastern friends an idea of the won
derful enterprise and progression of this
Western country. 1t is said that strangers
gauge town which they visit by the char
acter of its hotels. In this respect
the Ryan will be an advertisement
of which st. Paul need not be
ashamed. But its usefulness as an adj
vertisement is not its chief value to our
city. The fact that such building has
been erected here opens the eyes of our own
people to the magnitude of st. Paufs eX-
pansion, and the increased requirements of
the city in consequence thereof. So rapid
and marvellous has been the growth of the
city that those of our own citizens who have
lived here for the last ten years fail to COM
prehend the development the city is making
until they see magnificent buildings spring
up like ''visiOns which arise without
Sleep.'

NntionaI Encnmpment TroubIe.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July Ten thou
send people to-day availed themselves of
the free admission to drill grounds of the
national military encampment at Paramount
park. -Four batteries consumed
nearly all the afternoon in COMPETE
tive drilling. These were the
indianapolis Light artillery, Capt. Curtis,
Battery 4 of Kentucky, Capt. Munser,
Fifth Ohio battery, attached TO First Ohio
regiment, Capt. SintZ and the Louisiana
field artillery, Lieut.. Thompson command
ing Each battery used but one gun.
Towards evening the troops were reviewed
by Adit Gen. Finley of Ohio. After
the review of the Ohio troops
there was dress parade, in which the en-
tire encampment participated. 1t was fol-
lowed by an exhibition drill by the Buch
Zouaves of ST. Louis. Their drilling was
rewarded with rounds of applause. Matters
are not moving i'll a very satisfactory way.
Gen. SlOcum has been here since Tues
day, but has not assumed command.
The understanding is that he is not pleas ed
with the arrangement. Col. HedTick of the
Second Ohio, who is in command. is going
away tomorrow and Col. CTump of the
Kentucky state guards says he will order
his men to break camp before he will as
sumo command. The feeling is that neither
the military nor citizens of Philadelphia
and the state have lent Gov.
Underwood proper help or en-
couragement, and that if 500
600 in prizes and $40. 900 in other expendi-
lures are to be paid the public must respond
more literally than it has done so far. To-
morrow the infantry will begin the COM
petitive drilling. The first three companies
to contest will be the LenoX Rifles, from
Mobile. the Houston Light Guards, of
Texas, and the Alexandria, Va, light in
fantTy.

technical ground of complaint in
the KELLEY matter, and in such
a case has no right to take
offense. And, yet, because of the peculiar
ground of KEmEY's rejection, it would be
a wise thing, and entirely in accord with
American sentiment, if Mr.. CLEVELAND
declined to make any other appointment of
minister TO the Austrian court. Our coun-
try could better afford to be unrepresented
at such court than to make an apparent
concession to such spirit of religious big
otry and intolerance.
1t is wonderful how the spirit of prose-
cution still holds against the Jews all over
Europe. As far back as the days of JOHN
l., il was not an uncommon thing in Eng
land to pull out the teeth or tear out the
eyes of Jews. 1t was not until the DAYS of
CROMWELL that they began to receive bet
ter treatment Since that time the Jewish
race has continued to rise in the social scale
in England, until at last they have become
a power in the financial and political
branches 10 English government. of which
RoTHscHILD and DIsRAELI are notable
Illustrations. The Austrian and Russian
governments have been the most bigoted
and cruel in their prosecutions of the Jews.
But in 1850 the Austrian government re-
pealed most of the oppressive laws against
them in that empire. One peculiar feature
exists, however. in the Austrian laws. II
Mr.. KELLEY should be accepted he would
have the right to worship GoD as he chose
during his stay at the Austrian capital. but
his wife would have no separate right of
worship and would be prevented from OBJ
serving any religious rites in public other
than those enjoyed by her husband. In
view of the fact that the United States is n
country where religious freedom is enjoyed
to its fullest extent it occurs to us that it
would be well for the president to give en-
phasis to this fact by demanding KEILEY's
recognition by the Austrian court, or, in case
of refusal, TO decline to make any other ap-
pointment.

THE SIOUX FALLS CONVENTION


AS was anticipated by the GLOBE some
time since would be the case, the election of
delegates TO the Sioux Falls convention has
resulted in the selection of a strong anti
division delegation from Central Dakota
Delegates were selected from this section
regardless of party, although in Brown
county party lines appear to have been
rather rigidly drawn under the circum-
stances. However, but little interest APP
pears to have been taken in the election.
The reason for this general apathy perhaps
was the fact, that all of the can
didates, generally speaking, were pledged,
not only against division on the forty-sixth
or any other parallel, but to force an ad-
journment of the convention Immediately
upon its assembling. The fact is. that from
the time South Dakota was forced by North
Dakota to show its hand in the legislature
on the Pierre capitol-moving project, Cen
trail Dakota has thoroughly understood the
Sioux Falls convention scheme, and proposes
to defeat it. And there is no doubt but
that the scheme will fail most miserably.

WHERE TIE DANGER LIES.

There is a world of wisdom in the words
of the Atlanta Constitution when it says
that the enemies of the Republic are not
beyond our borders, but that they are to be
found marshaling their forces in our large
cities. 1t is mistake to suppose they are
foreigners or illiterate. The dissatisfied
elements of our population are just as
bright and as well educated as the men who
make their living in Wall street The Con-
stitution says ''they are rapidly developing
a journalism and literature of their own.
They receive the full benefit of our common
schools. If our statesmen and ruling classes
of society do not see the growing danger
here indicated, it is to be feared that they
are destined to be rudely awakened. The
dangerous element in our country is not
communistie, sOcialistic, anarchistic or
nihiliStic; it is all of these. 1t embraces all
the societies and organizations which are
endeavoring to readiust the relations
of labor. and capital. These people
have deeply rooted belief that
something is wrong in society
where one member can accumulate
fortune of one hundred millions, while
thousands of his brethren possessed of equal
ability, education and industry are next
door to starvation. They claim that the
lucky millionaire succeeded by a trick, and
that such tricks are possible only under
such legislation as favors capital and mo-
nOpoly at the expense of labor. Unfortu-
nately these grumblers propose no definite
remedy. They complain and protest, and
the more favored sons of fortune laugh or
frown. as the case may be, and make no
comforting reply. Year after year we turn
out of our public schools an army of people
who are doomed to lifelong poverty. In
Europe they would accept their condition
without murmur. They would consider
it the natural result of being born among
the lower and middle classes. But here no
such reasoning will avail. The people are
taught that they are sovereign. They are edu-
catedtO appreciate and enjoy all the comforts
and luxuries of life. When they find that
those comforts and luXuries are beyond
their reach they begin to plot and plan rev.
Olution. The danger threatened by this
| discomfort is more in the shape of viO-
lent outbreaks than anything else. The
Pittsburg riots in 1877 and the later Gin
cinnati trouble showed that the lawleSs ele-
ment in our cities is as ready as a Partisan
mob to resort to dynamite and the torch.
Some of these days an extended strike will
bring on deeds of violence in one of ouI
large cities The trouble will spread to
other cities where organizations exist in
sympathy with the strike, and the federal
and state governments will be paralyzed fol
the time. Ofcourse the property holder.
and the law and order people will rally and
put down the outbreak, bnt the mischief
will be enormous. In such emergenc les
the inhabitants of the rural districts may
always be depended upon. They have NJ
sympathy with the city mobS'
