The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1886-05-06

The early morning hours of May |, the day
set for the Inauguration of the eiGht-hour day
among wage workers of Chicago, We're char
acterized by a quietness which was remind
er of Sunday. In the manufacturing dis
tricts, the six and seven o'clock whistles were
for the most part silent. The streets in tho
centres of industry wero noticeable by reason
of the absence of the usual hurlying crowds
of worllingmen Hundreds of factories wero
idle. Some shut down on account of strikes,
others closed for the day togive the employees
holiday. The idea of holding a great pa
rade, under the auspices of the trades and Ia
Dor assembly, was abandoned. The first
startling news of the morning came at 3 30
o'clock. A crowd of men from the lumber
yard and planning mills numbering 5000 or
1000, got together in the vicinity of Twenty
second street and Blue Island avenue A
leader was selected and line formed. After
the parade number Of speeches were made.
The crowd was largely made up Of Bohemi'
ans and Germans.

Our people have done what they could
to allay his preiudioes, but with indif-
ferent success and his administration
has not been an advantageous one to
our city. 1t is hoped
| that Mr.. Beardsley, his
| successor, will enter upon his duties
with determination to extend fair
treatment to oil the stations along his
division. 1t will be an easy accomplish
ment for him to secure the hearty good
Will of all the patrons of the road. No
declaration of war against certain COM
munitles is necessary in the interest of
certain other communities. A DISPOSE
tlon to meet upon the common ground
of fair business treatment and q Just
recognition of individual and corporate
rights is all that is asked for or expected.

the Sioux City and Dakota division
generally designated the Yankton divi-
sion) is to be extended from Scotland to
Mitchell over the nearly completed cut
off and to Armour from Tripp when the
branch into Douglas county is compile
ted. This increase in the mileage of the
division will probably produce change
IN the running OF trains and until the
Defiance gap is closed we can look for

The oamnaion wh,cb is to ou,m;,

The campaign which is to culminate
at Yankton on the 22d inst, in the nomi-
nation by the republican party of Da-
kota, of q candidate for congress- has
progressed far enough to give decided
indications of what the result will be.
Most of the counties which have de-
clared their sentiments have voiced ex-
pressions in behalf of the nomination of
the present incumbent, Judge Clifford.
There is nowhere any serious detection,
excepting 10 the county OF Brown and
the county of Lawrence. The former
objects to Judge Clifford because he is
an avowed divisionist aud tie latter
because its habit is to possess numerous
aspirants of its own and the present
emergency furnishes no exception to the
rule which has governed during the
political history of Lawrence county.
Judge Gifford's division sentiments will
prevail in the convention and the
probability is that he will not only be
nominated, but that he will go before
the people upon platform containing
positive declaration in behalf of the
division of Dakota on or near the forty
sixth parallel. AT the coming eonven-
tioa the people of Dakota will give
practical effect to their long standing
belief that congressional representa-
tive should be afforded the opportunity
OF at least two terms IN Washington
The experience of a SINGLE term, in the
face of all the difficulties which beset q
territorial delegate, is hardly a fair test
of mans ability as representative
and Delegate Clifford has done so well
during the period of his initial expert
ence that public sentiment strongly
favors his return. Experience in Dakota
politics has taught us that public senti
ment may be overcome by The various
manIpulations with which we are al
familiar and the voice of the people may
be overturned. But in this instance the
feeling in behalf of Judge Clifford ls sc
solidly demonstrating itself that there
seems now to be no possibility OF his
defeat in the convention. His nomina
ton would give the republican party
one of its time honored sweeping victo
ries. He is the one man upon whom al
factions can concentrate their strength

Major Powell. of the government
geological survey, advances some inter-
esting statements in connection with the
recent earthquake visitation. He says
that there is line OF weakness in the
crust of the earth beginning somewhere
south of Raleigh. N. O., and extending
in line along tide water past Rich
mond, Washington, Baltimore and Troy,
N. Y; that this line of weakness is
marked by displacement, this displace-
mept being tecture in the rocks, and
in the neighborhood of this displacement
is found the principal waterfalls which
constitute the waters of the Atlantic
slope. 'It will be interesting" he adds,
"to discover the relations of the points
origin of this earthquake to this line of
displacement of weakness"
Major Powell also gives an official re-
port upon the phenomenon from observa-
tions taken at the government station at
| Washington. His report runs as follows
The earthquake was well observed by

WAKEFIELD, Kan, Jan. Is, 'S5.
Editors Neaos and Citizen:
We have been having two weeks of
very cold weather here. and it has not
warmed up much yet, though it is so a
person can work very comfortably. The
9TH of January we had a regular blizzard,
which commenced about o'clock a. m. i,
and continued till after six in the even
ing. The air was filled with snow and
the wind blew very hard; so hard that
one could not see more than rod at any
time during the day. The mercury fell
27o below zero on the morning of the
9Th, the coolest it has been thus far. On
the day of the blizzard it was about Ii Q
below zero. Stock that was unprotected
suffered severely, and great many hogs
and cattle persisted. Horses. as a gen.
eral thing, were stabbed, and so came
through all right. The Republican river
is frozen about foot deep, and piles are
being driven and piers laid for new
bridge across the river at this place. 1t is
to be of iron and is contracted to be built
for 81 800. The piers are to be four in
number and built of cut limestone. The
prairies are covered with about a foot OF
snow, and prairie chickens, rabbits, quails
and wolves are seen on the plains at al
times in search of SO m ethinr 60 live upon
