The open and shameless purchase Of
votes, in the recent election in New York
was by no means confined to the home Of
Governor Hill. The Saratoga Journdl
says that in that town all day long votes
were bought by Hills henchmen at from
So to s. each. 1t adds that advces from
all pats of the country in the vicinity
show that large sums were openly paid by
the Democrats for votes. The New York
Mail and Express says that in that city
the free use of money was one Of the most
notable features of the day. In single
aldermauic district, the second in that
city, II Democratic paper says that from
So, 900 to So, 900 was put out by the rival
Democratic candidates. The same sort OF
thing was done by the Democrats, to q
greater or less extent, all over the State.

1t is stated that at Il number of polling
places in New York on Tuesday, women
were seen pushing forward and trying to
vote in spite of the polite refusals of the
inspectors of elections to receive their bal
lots. Such II performance is hardly be

gives woman the right of suffrage, then
let her modcstly and faithfully perform
her duties at the polls, and let the men
stand back-pidcc dtr DANES. But I'M

to seize the franchise.

Mr.. Dorman Il. Eaton is back in the
civil service frying pan again-as a favor
to President Cleveland. His reappoint-
ment as the Republican member of the

the new Democratic members, who want

are learning the ropes. Thus far, certain

Butler, and is said to be decidedly on his

At first blush Indiana would not seem
to be the State to go to for civil service
commissioner. Mr., Edgerton of Fort
Wayne, the new commissioner, is said,
however, to have been recommended by
Chief Justice Waite, and if so, he ought to
be pretty fair man. He is described rs
somewhat eccentric and is said to have had
his clothes made by the same tailor for
| fifty years, and to still wear the high
"dicky" and choker, swallowtail and fob
chain of the last generation. He has made
fortune in railroads. Mr.. Trenholm is a
man of about so years of age, son of the
Confederate Secretary of the Treasury
and was recently appointed by Secretary
Lamar as one of the experts of the labor
bureau. He is quite an authority on
finance, and contributed paper on silver
to the recent bankers meeting in Chicago
His friends declare that he is in favor of
civil service reform.

The barbarous and inhuman practice of

EucuUnters between the students of
leading colleges and the officers OF the
Law are getting to be disgracefully fire.
quent, The latest reported instance is
from the University of Michigan at Ann
Arbor. Monday evening large number
OF students were throngug the postoflice,
when policeman attempted to clear the
bIidng. He was hustled about by the
crowd, and when another officer came to
his assistance he was similarly treated
The officers finally managed to arrest one
student, and Il mob of 800 bowling stu
dents surrounded the Office of the justice
of the peace demanding the release of
their companion. Here another student
was arrested. The mayor ordered the
mob to dispense and was loudly hooted in
response The arrested students We're re-
leased on their own recognzauce, and
held an enthusiastic meeting on the cot
lege campus, denouncing the interference
of the officers and appointing II commit
tee to investigate the matter and attend
the trial. The affair will probably result
in THE 'iustication" of considerable
number of the students.
| Without saying anything more about
the New York game law that was violated
! by President Cleveland's party in the
Adirondacks, how about the civil service
law That law contains the following sec
! ton:
Section II. That no officer clerk or 9th
e person in the service of the United
: ates shall directly or indirectly give or
| fand over to any other officer, clerk, or
person III the service of the United States,
or to any Senator or member of the House
of Representatives or territorial delegate,
any money or other valuable thing on ac-
count Of or to be applied to the promotion
OF any political object whatever.
For violation of this law Gen. y. NJ.
Curtis of St. Lawrence county, \. y, was
prosecuted and fined. Now Mr.. Cleve-
land, as is alleged on responsible Demo
cratic authority, directly handed over his
check for $1,000 to his Secretary, Lamont,
who is an officer in the service of the
United States, employed and paid salary
of $3.50 by the government, to aid the cleo
ton of David Is. Hill as governor of New
York 1t does not help this case that Mr.
Hill is notorious opponent of civil ser
vice reform If there is any explanation o
this matter consistent with obedience L

Mr.. Day announced on his return to
Washington that Dakota would have q
new governor in ten days. The time
has slipped by and nothing comes to
make good the promise. On the con-
trary the Washington correspondent of
the Minneapolis Tribune writes:
A friend of Ziebach, the equator
governor" of Dakota, reports the presi-
dent to have said that he would appoint
successor to Governor Pierce Within
ten days. Rumors of this character have
been 30 common ever since the lnaugur-
alton of President Cleveland that little
credence is given to them here. This,
however, is the first time that support
ers of any of the various candidates have
made 80 positive statement as that
quoted above. On the other
hand, q gentleman from Dakota,
who conversed with President Cleve-
land upon the SUBJECT of the gubernato-
rial chair, tells the Tribune correspond
ent that the president is highly pleased
with the administi alton of Mr.. Pierce,
who he regards as one of the best gov
ernors ever sent to the territories. Mr..
Cleveland is quoted as sayiug that he
will be delighted if his territorial gov
ernors prove as efficient as Gilbert A.
Pierce. Those best qualified to Judge
are of opinion that, Notwithstanding the
statement of Ziebach's friend. there will
be no change in the governorship of Da.
kOta for some time to come.

A Mitchell correspondent writes the
Sioux City Journal:
The people of Mltchll now find them
selves in peculiar position relative to
the location of the capital, as provided
in the constitution at Sioux Falls.
Dawson county, of which Mitchell is
the "huh," refused to send members to
that convention, and thtenghout the
entire session was not represented. The
labor of the convention has been pre-
formed and vote ordered on the adop.
ton of the instrument and also the To-
cation of the capital. By reason of its
refusal to take part in the convention
Mitchell cannot come forward with very
good grace and ask the people to vote it
the capital. 1t is thus virtually out of
the race. The people in ignoring the
convention probably did not figure on
this phase of the question. The con-
test will be between Huron, Chamber
lain and Pierre, AID the campaign prom
ises to be lively.
Mitchell did not act wisely in ignor-
ing the convention and has not acted
wisely in antagonizing the interests of
eouth Dakota. It will be much better
now for it to repent and abandon it's
Northern Pacific allies and send deleea-
tion to the coming Huron convention.
There is yet time to return to the fold.
