establishment OF q live stock market, re.
ported that somewhere Immediately con.

apolis q live stock market is both entirely
feasible and practicable. An immense ter.

significant fact and one worthy OF notice by

Tsrr,tory Of North Dakota.

Washington, Special Telegram, May g.
Mr.. Baker Of New York, q member Of the
house committee on territories, introduced
q bill to establish the territory OF North
Dakota. II is essentially the same bill in
troduced at tho frat session Of the last
congress by Delegate Raymond. the only
difference In the boundaries being that
Baker fixes the southern boundary on the
forty.seventh parallel Of north latitude,
while Raymond's bill fixes it on the forty
sixth degree north latitude. The bounda-
ries described In tho bill are as follows:
+ Commencing at a point on the Red Riv-
or Of the North, where the 47th degree OF
north latitude crosses the same; thence
south along the west boundary line OF Min.
nesota to the seventh standard parallel OF
north latitude; thence along said seventh
standard parallel Of Dakota, extending to
the eastern boundary line OF Montana;
thence east along said degree to the place
OF beginning.
The legislative council is to consist OF
twenty members and the house OF repre-
sentatives OF forty. Under the Raymond
bill the council was placed ut fifteen and tha
jhouss at thirty. Thesections providing for
the general organization Of tho new territory
election Of officers, ETC., are identical with
those Of the Raymond bill. ThecQmmittee
on territories will consider this measure
shortly in connection with the Springre
bill for the admission OF the entire terri
tory. It is practically certain that ths
Baker bill will be thrown aside and that
s6pringer's bill, with some amendments az
to detail, will be iavorably reported.

Sol. MILLER OF the Kansas Chief, is
still staunch supporter of Blaine for
the presidency, as is proved by the follow
ing from his paper of Thursday last:
MAKES Us TIRED.-The Harper
Graphic, replying TO our comments on its
reasons Why Blame should not be nomi-
mated says:
It matters not how honest or how tai
ented a man may be, the party does not
want him, if we can't elect him. The fact
that James G. Blaine can not be elected.
was plainly demonstrated in 1884. And
their Is no consideration great enough to
overcome this fact and justify his nOmina-
ton again.
What sort OF rule, or motion, or prin-
ciple is 1t, that because q man has been
once betrayed, swindled, and beaten, he
must meyer again be nominated for Office
Is 1t one of the rules of gambling into
which politics has fallen, that If q man
Is put out, he must stay out? Must 3
great political party he controlled by su-
perstIiious and cranky notions? Thomas
Jefferson was beaten the first time he ran
for president, and almost beaten for the
second time, but that did not induce his
party to put him aside. Andrew Jackson
was slandered worse than Blaine ever was,
and was beaten by a combination the first
time he ran, as Blaine was; DIT the Dem
ocrats did not set him aside on that &C.
count. On the contrary, he
was twice elected by ma
joriiy that was overwhelming. Her
rison was defeated in 1886, but IN 1910 he
was elected by a whoop and hurrah that
overwhelmed every thing, and has become
famous In history. Because Lincoln was
beaten by Douglass in Illinois, in 1858,
the Republicans did not discard him
The good fight he made then resulted In
his nomination for the presidency. Who
ever may be nomlneten for president, dOn'l
let US have any childish nonsense about

PROHTRITION.

A few days ago we published q very
interesting communication from a New
Jersey correspondent of q New York
paper, strongly advocating the cause of
prohibition and the formation a third
party, To-day we give our readers a
short extract from q correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, IN which some facts are
set forth In behalf of the high license sys-
tenn as adopted In Michigan. The CORES
pondent thus puts the case:
Cities could sewer their streets and con-
vey the city's inevitable filth to regular
channels. The constitution robbed them,
however, of all right to bride the drink
habit of the people. 1t gave them sim
pie choice between absolute prohibition
and absolute free whisky. This was q
choice between them which was absolute
ly impossible and that which was ALSO
lutely damnAble. The people, not being
able to meet Impossibility, submitted 10
damnation. For twenty-five years they
were damned with free whisky under 8
prohtbltory law. There Is nothing in the
history OF civilization so perfectly and
abjectly inexcusable as the inactivity and
imbecility of the prohibitionists of Mich.
igan during this twenty five yeArs of
Michigan misrule.
The people of Michigan at last con.
cluded that prohibition was failure, and
In 1875 they struck the prohibitoEy clause
from their constitution and the legisla-
ture imposed tax Of $50 on each sa-
loon. The tax has since been increased to
$500 and the saloon keepers are required
to give bonds not to sell to drankards or
minors and not to sell at all on Sundays or
election days. The result has been q
notable decrease In the number Of saloons.
We suppose that facts like these will
have no effect on the prohibIiionisIs here
or elsewhere, but they are worth repeating
for the benefit Of sensible men who wish 70
diminish drunkenness and are not fansti.
cally committed 20 an IMpracticable
scheme. Again, facts like these Vindicate
the democratic party from the charge,
so freely brought against IL by prohibit
tionistH, that IL Is Q foe to temperance be-
cause II opposes their theories. In the
face of such an experience as that Of Mich.
igan the foes of prohibition might very
we'll claim that they are the only friends
to temperance since prohibition means
free liquor. Certainly no far mind will
admit, after reading such testimony, that
opposition TO prohibition can only spring
from sympathy with liquor dealers.

WooDsToCK, Iii :, July I6.-The follow
ing Is TO supplement the announcement Of
the hanging of Dacey. The political feud
in the bloody Ninth ward of Chicago is
noted for the bitterness with which Its al
derman carry on elections. and which re-
suited IN the murder of Alderman Michael
Gamer by Jas. Dacey. Dacy was . work
or OF some reputation in the ward and had
always been one OF Gamers 6rmest adj
herents, and the two were good friends uBs
til Alderman John Foley died and tie
time came 70 choose his successor. Dacey
wanted james Murray, q plumber.
70 have the nomination but Gamer took
up the cause of W. F. Mahoney. The
fight which followed was bitter in the ex-
xeme. The primaries were held week
efore the regular election. Dacey was 30
abusive at the polls that Gamer had him
arrested and locked up, and the next day
he was fined and his hatred of the alder
man increased. He is said TO have made
the threat that if Murray was beaten at the
election somebody would be killed. He
was an excentrIc fellow bnt nobody thought
he would carry the threat into e1ecu-
ton. Mehoney was successful
at the election which occurred May 18th.

With this remark Gamer turned laugh
ingly away. For q second Dacey
stood motionless, then he drew . revolver

the back of Gamers head. The wound
proved fatal and Oacey was convicted
Of murder, was adjudged sane by a medI

Bribery Cases.

ST. LOUIS, July 17.-Tne grand jury
closed the investigation of charges against
the members of the house delegates last
night, and returned indictments against
SIX of them: Messra Matters, PIshor,
Branggernon, 6 )rtenback, Keenan, and
one other whose name has not yet been
ascertained was lndited for drunkenness in
Office, and Keenan,, PIshon and Brady for
bribery in connection with the InVestigs-
ton OF the Casino thcater when the bill
rev,king that thcatFe's license Tor Indecent
D rformance was before the house.
The jury returned two other in
dIctmcn's for attempted bribery
tn against DIR W. Wellington Adams,
and The other against Chss. A Dsvis, at
torney. These gentlemen had charge o.
the electric light bill aud we're present a.
almost every session of the house urging
its passage. The bill failed to pass, how
ever, and it is said DR.. Adams became en-
ragged at the members who had voted
against the measure. He threatened in the
I0Gby OF tha house TO show up some ofIhe
members in such an unenviable light as 70
make them decidedly uncomfortable.
Then followed the charges against the
twelve delegates that they were uneIligI-
BILE 10 office, having per1ured themselves
by swearing falsely to an oath when
they tsok their seats. This exposure
Ea'uraIly aroused the wrath of the &C
cused and they determined to pay the
doctor of IN his own coin and gave ip-
formation to the jury which led to his in
dictment, this information being that he
had offered two members large sums of
money tor their affirmative votes upon the
bill Adams states however. that he never
attempted to bride these members, but
that they one and another came TO him
and volunteered to vote for the bill for .
certain money consideration. Bench war

The Topeka papers have so far paid
little attention to the prohibition conven-
ton held at this place. This may have
been partially caused by the great interest
taken In the the National Teachers meet
ing at that place, and partially by lack of
newspaper enterprise. The Kansas CITY
morning papers, on the contrary, have
had full reports by special kilograms, the
Times deVonng about q column space to

that all Kansas papers with political lean
ings will devote more space in the future
to this matter, as there is on doubt the
third party will cut quite a figure in the
