Though fortunately the effort did not
succeed it is a striking commentary on
Democratic greed for office, that quite
number of Democratic congressman have
endeavored to take away the protection OF
the law from the disabled Union soldiers
who are employed under the doorkeeper
of the House With the entire patronage
of the government now at their disposal,
except for such obstacles as the civil SER
vice law interposes, they make grab at
these fourteen subordinate places under
the House doorkeeper.

ter Whether some envious souls at Wash
inton will admit it or not. the world has rec
ognized Ulysses. S. Grant as our great
military genius. But however great our
Captain may have been, the Union could not
have been restored, the glorious old flag with
its sacred associations of century could NOT
have waved again in triumph and peace over
land ''drenched in fraternal blood" had it
not been for the patriotism and valor of the
soldiers of the North who sprang to it's
defence at the sacrifice of all the endearinp

recall the sad. exciting scenes of those early
days of the war. the organization, the train
ing, the departure of companies and regi-

husbands parting from wives, fathers
from children, brothers from sisters, going
forth at the call of their country to endure

consider the glorious heritage we enjoy, the
Union restored. the flag triumphant, peace
and prosperity dwelling throughout our bor-

precious price of blood and suffering at which
these blessings were purchased. The Grand
Army of the Republic in Maine, representa-
tives of the heroes of our war living and
dead, ask that we who enjoy this goodly her

market as soon as statehood issecured
and from the permanent fund thns Sc
cured revenue will be derived suf-
fcient to pay school expenses in the
rural districts. Thus the school tax
will be practically abolished outside the
cities aad very much reduced in the
cities.
There is another matter to be consider
ed in this connection. The constitution
places absolute restriction upon state
tax leviea and confines expenses to the
most economical needs Of the public.
Under our territorial form OF govern
ment there is no practical restriction.
As an example, the territorial tax levy
for the present year, amounting to $685.
900, is an entirely unnecessary draft
upon the peopIe. There was
already money enough in the treasury
to meet all expenses, but in the face of
this fact the S3l8,00O is drawn from the
pockets of the people to enrich the
banks of Bismarck. Under our propos-
ed state government this could not oc-
cur. These are solid facts to be care.

October, 1884, the country had 50 and
the city 25. June, 1885, the country had
63 and the city "a, and in October,
1885, the country has 10 and
the city "A. This is the city's just pro.
portion, but it has taken time and hard
pounding to secure it. Public expos
ure of nefarious methods has forced q
reform which it is hoped may be lasting,
though we have little faith in compul-
sorry goodness as All enduring virtue.
However the agony is over and the
convention is called. 1t is to- meet in
Yankton on the 18th of October and the
caucuses in the various precincts are to
be held on the 10Th. We hope the re.
publicans Of Yankton will give to both
the attention their Importance entities
them to. Yankton county republicans
have two county commissioners to nomi-
nate, under the existing territorial form
of government, and nine delegates to
the state convention to elect. In addi.
ton to these duties they are to nomin-
ate judge of the county court to serve
under the proposed state government.
1t is also probable that some provision
will be mado for the nomination Of q
judge for the the judicial circuit to
which Yankton county belongs.

The county republican committee has

The county republican committee has
held session and called q convention
to nominate two county commissioners
under the territorial government and
delegates to the territorial convention
under the proposed constitution. This
committee, for the frst time during its
existence, has made fair apportion-
ment SO far as the relative claims of the
city and country are concerned. 1t gives
to the city forty-four delegates and to
the country sixty. Tho apportionment
was made on basis of one, delegate to
twelve republican votes, as officially re-
turned last fall. The only decided error
apparent is in the case of the seventh
precinct (north Walshtown neighbor-
hood), which is given four delegates
when the returns show that only thirty
seven republican votes were cast there.
1t is claimed that the returns are
wrong and that the real vote was forty
three, but the only evidence in the case
is the official canvass. To show how
gradual has been the approach of the
committee to an honest apportionment
We give the figures evolved from it's
three sessions since it began Its political
career:

Opinion Of Leading IrIshmen.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Alexander Sullivan,
ex-president of the Irish National
league of America, was seen at his home
by az associated press reporter, who
showed him an account of the proceed
ings at the meeting of New York Irish
Americans, and asked him point blank !;
will You go?' Very promptly came
the reply: "No; I shall not go, because
see no benefit to be derived to the
movement from such visit. The peo-
pie of ireland are not suffering for ora.
tory and do not need TO be urged to sup.
port Parnell. They understand the
Irish cause too we'll, and they realize
the necessity of organization and
united action. They need moral
and material aid from kindred in the
United States. A much better service
than visiting them in Ireland can be
rendered to the Irish people by the gen.
tlemen named in your list if they will
proceed to enlarge the membership of
the league IN the United States and to
raise funds to aid Psrnell first IN elect
ing and second in compeneatipg the
members OF his party after their election.
After that if we have surplus energy
and funds we ought to aid in establish
ing art and industrial schools and in
other means to revive the industries and
commerce of Ireland. There would
have been some courage In going over

can style concerning the English

tions where she is poor; that can be done
better in this country than in Ireland"
Ex-Congressman John F. Finerty
being asked whether he would accept
the invitation rendered him to visit
England end Ireland to work for the
Parnell party during the coming cam
paigD, said he had received no intima.
tIcn that any such scheme was on foot.
Without giving any reason for declin.
ing. MIR. Finerty said he should probably
not be one of the proposed party.

Alabama C1aims Court.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The court of
commissioners of Alabama claims met
this morning after its summer recess
and resumed consideration of current
business. Judge harlan, the presiding
Judge of the court, made q public an
nouncement of the recent decision of the
first comptroller of the treasury, that
the salaries only of such employees as
we're named in the organic act would be
allowed in settling the pay accounts of
the court, and said that therefore if
other employees continued In their pre-
sent duties 1t would be with the ex-
pectation that provision will be made
for their pay by congress. The regular
forces have notified the court that
they will continue in their present
duties with that understanding. All the
principal attorneys for claimants before
the court have signed an agreement to
pay certain sums o. money to loan or ad-
vance to clerks or other employees of the
court, not to exceed the amount due to
such person as salary and authorized by
the existing law. This action is taken
ON the ground that the expenses hither-
to incurred by the court are, in the
opinion of the attorneys, just and rea
sonable, such as the court was authorized
to incur. and that all such expenses will
fret be deducted from money now in
the treasury before tue balance will be
anportioned among their clients; that
by reason OF such fact, such expenses
are in the end to be paid their clients,
and that unless some provision is made
for paying clerks and employees the
court will not be able to dispose of its
business and the interests of their clients
will suffer thereby.

Poor Nellie Grant.

The papers have been dumb about
the Satoris matter. The truth is that
the only reason why the separation Las
not been completed between Nellie
Grant and her husband has been be-
cause of her inability to obtain posses
sion of her three children. Satoris has
been brutal in his treatment of her and
she does not want to live with him. II
the children ever get to this side of the
water they will never be allowed to go
back again. If Mrs. Satoris gets pos
session Of them she will probably, after
the mourning in the Grant family ends,
bring suit for divorce from the brutal,
unappreciative creature she married.
This marriage was the regret of Grants
life. This is not gossip, but plain
statement of facts.

AChinese Ouestton.

The secretary of the treasury has re
ferred to the attorney general for opinion
an interesting question in regard to
the enforcement of the Chinese restric.
ton act. One of the methods employed
to evade the law for emlgrants to land
in British Columbia and cross the bor-
der into Washington territory. When
such persons were found they were
taken back into British Columbia and
warned not to return to the United States.
1t is possiable many Chinese labor ers
who have entered the United States in
various ways we're driven into British
Columbia under the impression that
they came from there. The authorities
of Britiah Columbia protested against
this practice and called attention to the
law imposing tax Of $50 per head on
all Chinese who landed in British pos.
session. The collector at Port Townsend
reported the situation to the treasury
department and ssked for instructions.
The secretary has called on the attorney
general for an opinion, and is itlikeIy
that the matter will be brought before
the cabinet at its meeting.
