General Hugh j. Campbell was elected
by the constitutional convention as
chairman of the state executive commit.
tee. TIE choice is an excellent one. If
Dakota becomes state under the con-
stitution now being constructed, the
preliminary work will fall to the state
executive committee. General Campbell
is vigorous worker, is dead in earnest
over this statehood matter and pos
sesses nerve and staying qualities
which may in the end prove
the salvation of the cause. While q
weak man in the position would be lia
BILE to lead us to defeat, q strong one
largely increases our chances for success
General Campbell's colleague on the
committee is Major J. r. Hanson, an.
other gentleman strongly in earnest in
the pursuit of constitutional rights and
one who usually camps on an opinion
with sort of a General Grant tenacity.

FOR THE CONSTITUTION.
YES. NO.


Separate articles to be disposed of in
the same manner.
When the question was put on the
schedule adoption, Judge Edgerton took
the floor and argued against 1t on the
ground that too much power was vested
In the executive committee, and that it
provided for carrying executive and
judicial powers too far. He believed
that the state officers should not qualify
until Dakota was admitted as q state.
The vote on the adoption of the re-
port was 33 to %.
Just before the adjournment of the
afternoon session Haines of Turner, in
troduced q resolution providing "that
nothing in the constitution or schedule
contained shall be construed to au.
thorlze the legislature to exercise any
powers except such as are necessary to
its organization; to elect United States
senators; to provide and pass means and
measures necessary, preliminary and in
cident to admission to the union, and as-
semble and reassemble and adjourn
from time to time; neither to authorize
any officer of the executive or admins
trative department to exercise any power

OF the Judiciary department to exercise
any OF the duties till the state of Dakota
shall have been regularly admitted into
the union.
special order for Z 30. When it came up
at the time in committee of the whole
Campbell, of Yankton, introduced q
brief substitute and spoke at length in
its support. Haines replied, and others
engaged in the discussion.
After the committee rose Haines' mo-
tlon was adopted with single dissent
ing vote.
The motion whereby a separate section
on womsn's suffrage be submitted to
the people was reconsidered, and the
legislature given power to enact law
granting suffrage to women subject to q
vote of the people.
The committee on finance reported ex-
pendltures, including the printing of
the constitution and incidental expenses,
of S4,150.
At the evening session an executive
committee was appointed as follows:
First circuit. Major j. X. Hanson, of
Yankton.
Second, E. P. Beebe, of Minnehaha.
Third, s. G. Updike, of Codlngton.
Fourth, John Gain, of Huron.
Fifth, jas. A. Ward, of Hughes.
Sixth, Andrew j. Simmons, of Pen
nlDgton.
At large and president, Hugh j.

The committee will meet and organ
ize in the morning. The convention will
probably adjourn tomorrow.

1t is stated in Chamberlain telegram
that Major Gasmaun, agent Of the Grow
Creek and Lower Brule Indiane, has
bsen removed. The information is Civ
en- at Chamberlain by h. E. Swindell, of
Oxford, Mississippi, who is on his way to
Grow Creek to take the position of chief
clerk. Swindell is suggestive demo-
cratic name, particularly so in connec.
ton with an Indian appointment,
and if he follows out the maxim
that the game goes with
the name ancient traditions will be pre-
served. This Mr.. Swindell says Ken
tucky gentleman has been appointed to
succeed Major Gasmanr, and he further
says the major has been instructed not
to enforce the order for the removal of
settlers excepting so far as it applies to
the big bend district. The denizsns of
Chamberlain are rejoicing with exceed
ing Joy over the alleged turn in affairs,
for they are not IN harmony with Major
Gasmann.

The New York democracy has COM
pleted it's state ticket, with Governor
Hill ct ITS head and has uttered its plat
form. That document expresses an en-
dorsement of everything connected with
the democratic administration excepting
the civil service department, which isn't
good in the eyes of the faithful. Its
suggestion that the civil service
commission be reformed by
the substitution of democrats
for republicans in its membership is
meat for George William Curtis ct. al. to
chew upon Tor time just to see how they
like the taste Of it. Apnrely democratic
civil service commission would be q
sweet consolation in these trying times.
The resolution referring to General
Grant indicates an increasing fondness
for the dead Caesar, The man whom
they reviled while living is can
nonized in death and his invoca-
ton for peace between the con.
tending elements fnds ready
place IN democratic campaign literature
The New York document in its refer
ences to General Grant admonishes fra
ternal good will between "the heroes he
led and the heroes he conquered" From
the New York standpoint they were
both heroes-the men who tried to de-
stroy the country and the men who pre-.
vented them from consummating their
revolutionary designs. The New York
convention is long distance ahead of
Grant in the hero specially. It must
yet be borne in mind that General Grant
was true believer in the principle OF
exact justice to all classes of men and oi
equal rights for all. The millions oi
slaves liberated by his prowess must be
given exact justice and equal rights be-
fore the injunction of the great peace
maker is fulfilled, and it is the mission
of the republican party to carry out the
instructions of their dead leader.

A comparative table of the strength
of the merchant navies of the world
which has just been published in
France shows that Great Britain pos
sesses 22,500 trading vessels, with an
aggregate tonnage of II, 200,0 900 tons.
OF these vessels 4, ,649 are steamers with
a tdnnage of 5,919,000 tons, or rather
MOI le than one half the grand total Of
burden The United States makes a
very bad second, with $500 sail and
2,7W, 900 tons. Norway has 1900 YES
sells with 1,500, 900 tons, and Germany,
which comes Immediately after her.
ass3,000 sail, with total of 100000
tons, France, Italy, and Russia bring
up the rear, each with less than 5000
vessels. The proportion of steamers is,
however of greater Importance than
the total number of ships engaged in
trade, and in this regard France stands
second, although she has but 45S steam
ers, of 667, 900 tons in all, to England's
4,649. Germany presses her closely
with 420 steamers and 476,000 tons
