ever, is demonstrating that the currlcu-

for so comprehensive u subject as the
civil service of the United States.
The lack of thoroughncss in our re-

Mr.. Bayliss w Hanna, minister to the Ar.
gentlne Republic, and Mr.. Buck, minister
TO Peru. These two men, who have served
their country in positions OF responsible
ity and honor, the furniture OF whose
minds appears to be complete, have fallen
below the standard exactod Of all who
should seek public place. They are conf

These are grave charges against our
representatives abroad, and deserve to
be looked into. If we are TO maintain
a spirited foreign policy, our foreign
representatives ought to be able to create
an impression by the adornments of their
bodies as well as the accomplishment of
their minds. A minister Of great and
powerful nation in pair OF hand-mc-
downs is distressing picture. We hope
Mr.. Secretary Bayard will instruct these
men in their duties.
That, however, is but a remedy. What
we want to do is to prevent the recur-
renee of this humiliation Mt the courts OF
foreign potentates. The civil-service
commission must amend their rules, and
require applicants to pass a satisfactory
examination in etiquette ana decorum.
Aspiring statesmen must present them
selves to the examiners in faultlcss attire.
They will make graceful bow upon enter
ing, and take their seats without sitting
on their coat-tails. A misat in their
clothes, a deviation from the latest
fashion, will count severely against them.
They will be ruled out If their trousers
bag at the knees The grace of their atti-
tudes aud the case of their movements
will be noted and will count for or against
them, If they reach a satisfactory degree
of excellence in this test, then the exam
inors will certify them to the civil-seryice
commissioners, and they win be ready for
the first vacancies that offer.
As long as our foreign ministers 80
about in business suits instead of dress
suits, there is defect in our political
system that requires attention. This is
merely hint thrown out, and we expect
1t to be acted upon. The tllors, we
know, win support 1t enthusiastically.

THosE Dakota people have the virtue
Of perseverance,, whatever may be their
faults In general. With no prospect in
the world that Dakota viii be admitted
as a state, they have gone ahead and
framed state constitution, elected leg
islature, chosen United States senators,
and put in motion all the machinery of Il
state government, Who pays for all this
vain display? There is no warrant Tor
taxing the people for as long as they re-
main under q territorial form of govern
ment, and this they are very likely to do
for some years to come. States are not
made so easily, and these inciplcnt Da-

Vow York World.

-NtN ltEk hOTlu,
The decline OF Bell telephone stock to
lG9 during the past week indicates the
distress among the holders Of the stock of
that company concerning its rival, the
Pan Electric. The New York Tribune has
the bOldness to say, concerning the set
ting aside OF the Bell patents: "Specu-
latiye geniuses at the uptown pool-rooms
are Offering three to one that Secretary
Lamar will open up the questions of the
validity Of the Bell patents. The way
they reason is that the South is in the
saddle and it will ride, in this as in other
matters where Southern men are interest
ed against Northern men," This is an
other eXemplitlcation of the Tribune's
mistaken policy OF creating dstrust and
ill-ieeling between the sections. Why
should Secretary Lamar uniustly disturb
tine Bell telephone people? Simply be-
cause they are Northern men! This may
be the estimate OF Southern statesmen in
the Tribune Office, but what is this preiu-
dice based upon? The Southern states
are filed with Northern men and North.
ern capitalists. These men certainly
find as much justice and fair dealing in
the South as the Southern men find in the
North. What is to be gained by the in
situations which the Tribune is so fond
OF throwing off in its careless way affect
ing the integrity and honesty OF Southern
people? Nothing, we presume save a
prolOngation OF sectional hate.

A STI-TEARS' PRESIDENTIAL
TERM.


Constitution thinkers are prolific of plans
for Improving that instrument, but many
of their propositions are so chimerical
that they east discredit upon some that
really are desirable The conservatism Of
the American people is so great that they
will endure much from the existing order
of things rather than seek relief by change.
To this feeling is due the fact that the
constitution has been so little modified
during almost century while It has been
the supreme law of the land. Yet the
need OF change in some things is felt and
admitted by all, and against no regulation
OF the constitution, perhaps, Is there such
such strong objection as the shortnoss OF
the presidential term, which Senator
Jackson Of Tennessee proposes to extend
to six years, making the president lneligi-

3,sy ! Il A man by the
name Of Thomas Gibson was killed by a
bear on the 10th. inst, at a point in the Bad
Lands about ten miles above Cherry
creek. The circumstances us near rs
ascertained are as follows: He in COM
pany with one William Dixon, started
from Medora to come down the Little
Missouri on a raft. They met with an
accident, losing one rifle and all Of
their camp outfit and provisions. They
then came to my place where they
remained two days. Making another
raft they went on. The next night,
Dixon came back and reported his part
ner killed by bear, stating that they
had discovered a den while looking for
deer in q clump of cedar, that Gibson,
rifle in hand, had crept up to the den
and when in the act of looking in had
been seized and killed without having
fired shot, that having no weapon of
amy kind himself, he stood helplessly3 by
and waited until the animal, finishing
Gibson turned on him when he fled.
The following morning we returned
with Dixon and found Gibson s remains
about 80 feet from the mouth Of the den.
From all appearances he was instantly
killed. The rifle was found within six
feet of the den loaded and the hammer
up. No papers could be found upon the
person of the dead man to indicate the
whereabouts Of his friends or relatives
but from conversation held with him
while at my place I believe him to have
come to Dakota from either Wisconsin
or Michigan. Dixon took charge of his
effects, which consist Of nothing as far
as we know, but some old clothing and
a yal'ss. We buried him on the top of q
high bluff in the Bad Lands near where
we found him. Further particulars
should they be wanted by his friends Of
relatives, can DO obtained by addressing
William Keldch or Chas. Tracy, Cherry
creek, Little Missouri.
