The last hope of Chicago's condemned
anarchists in Judge Gary's court has
failed and the fatal day for the Hay
market murderers has been named.
Unless higher court shall set aside the
finding of this tribunal the third of De-
cember next will rid society OF as foul a
lot of conspirators as ever burdened
this fair earth or shed the blood of inno-
cent victims. It is righteous verdict
and just Judgment. American homes
must be protected against red handed
assassins who come from foreign shores
to overturn our institutions and deluge
our land in the blood of revolutionary
violence. They have been halted upon
the Threshold of their career and theiI
cause will die with them.

General ssaies, Nerve.


La writing of General Miles remark
able military successes L. @. Crawford
says in the New York World: "General
Miles has absolute command over his
nerves. 1t would be impossible to
etartie him SO that he would show signs
of perturbation upon his stoical face.
He has as much command over his
features as any OF the Indians OF the far
border. An officer Of his staff, in speak
ing to me the other day of the great
natural control of General Miles, related
ON incident which occurred during
garrison life at Fort Leavenworth. de
said they were all busy at work in Cen
erai Miles Office. They were seated
about long table in large room,
whose numerous windows We're all open,
| The day was warm, mild and quiet
| Suddenly, without an instant OF prelim-
mary warning to the officers, who we're
busy with their work, regular cyclone
| of wind, thunder and rain burst with q
roar and terrific crash upon the build
| ing. Doors were slammed and papers
| swept clean from every desk in q second
| the quiet light of the room was as sud
denly transformed into dull gloom
The lightning that followed was daz
zling, while the thunder was incessan
and loud as the roar of artillery. Th'
nervous shock occasioned by this chang
was shown by the perfect paralysis TO
the moment of the staff officers. On
lieutenant was SO startled that he fel
over backward. But General Mile
never moved or even lifted mis- head. FL
did not stop writing the letter upo
, which he was engaged. His only re-
mark was to direct en- orderly near b
, to close the windows.

rh. QuarreIsome Indians

Washington, Oct. 7-Mr. West, the
British minister, has transmitted to the
secretary OF state communication from
the governor general and council OF
Canada relative to the late raids of In
dians from the United States into the
northwest territory. The letter informs
the government that q large number OF
Plegans, Blackfeet and Gros Ventres
Indians from the great reservations OF
northern Montana have crossed the
border into the British Possessions; that
several battles have been fought, with
casualties on both sides, and that the
| Bloods may ba expected to follow their
enemies and cross the border into the
United States. 1t suggests that, with
| this information, this government may
be able to take active measures to meet
| these hostIles in the proper way. Mr.
Bayard has transmitted this communi
cation to the war department ant
Indian bureau, and the former is nov
considering the best plans of preventing
these depredating bands from in6iotinl
injury to settlers or peaceable Indian
on this side of the line.

Dakota,s New Attorney General.

Sioux Falls Press: AS the people of
the territory will be interested in know
ing something of the history OF Hon.
George 8. Engle, the new attorney
general the Press has procured the
following biographical sketch of the
gentleman:
He was born in Cherry Valley. Otsego
county, New York, in May, IS45. whlah
places HIM in his forty-seeond year.
When II years of age, he was Brought
to Illinois by the removal of his fathers
family, who five years later took up
residence in Ann Arbor, Mich, where In
1864, being then 10 years of age, MIR.
Engle enlisted in company K. of the
twenty-fourth infantry, serving until
the close of the war. Upon returning.
he in 1866 entered the Michigan state
university at Ann Arbor, and IN 1872
graduated from the law department
thereof going at once into the office of
Judge Cooley, q law writer whose reputa-
ton as author and commentator has
spread to both continents. After two
years service there he went into active
practice, snd was elected prosecuting
attorney of Huron county in 1872, which
position he occupied four years. From
1876 to 1888 he was engaged exclusively
in private practice of his profession in
Michigan, in the latter year removing to
Dakota and taking up his residence in
Aberdeen In December, 1885, oon-
vention was held at Huron, to select
some competent attorney to go to Wash
ington and attend to matters
vitality affecting the interests
of settlers upon the public
lands and Mr.. Eugle was chosen for
this duty. He remained there until
last May, and daring that time was
instrumental in securing modification
or revocation of number o. most un-
iusk and hnrdensome orders ieaned by
Commissioners Sparks of the general
land Office. Among these were the
orders "loaing the Devils Lake and
Turtlf aHso..ntain reservations, the order
denyin.o tae right 10 commute home
stead entries, and the order suspending
the issue OF patents to settlers on govern.
ment lands. During the campaign ante

rial convention. Mr.. Engle was the fore
! most candidate for the congressional
nomination, and had it not been for hit

would undoubtedly have been chosei
instead of Mr.. Day.

The Rapid City Journal thinks the
opposition from the Press and Dakota
ian to the appointment Of Attorney
General Engle Is sufficient recommend
alton Of his fitness for the office. 1t is
not necessary to go back very far to
find in the files of papers low most
abusive, fulscme praises for MIR. Engle
and his manly fight against the rulings
of Commissioner Sparks. They forget
all about this now. The parGowness OF
some mems minds is only equalled by
tae shortEess of their sight Bismarck
Tribune.
The newspapers which criticise the
appointment of MIR. Engle have uttered
nc words of censure against that gentle
man and have said nothing against hlt
ability and fitness for the place. They
have not intimated that there is any

BARrLRTT, March 1.-THE chief topic
Of discusslon;in this town and vicinity
at the present time is in connection with

on the 10th, has been made by George
Fulton and which has already been
signed by forty of the farmers and bust.
ness men Of this part of the county, adj
vocating its adoption and hearty support
if carried out.
The principles contained in the pro.
posed platform are such that no honest,
intelligent farmer or business mar will
hesitate for a single instant in giving it
his support. 1t contains the essence of
the grievances sought to be redressed
by the government in respect to the set
Element laws, etc., and which is set forth
in tho memorial to the president, con.
gress and tho department by w. HI.
Standish. 1t also advocates that the
territorial Legislature enact laws that will
create a commission and define the pow.
crs Of railway companies and fix SEIZED.
ule rates, these rates to be so fixed that
the railway shall receive on the cost and
equipment not less than seven or more
than ten por cont of q net annual reve.
nue.. It also provides Tor railroad com.
.panies to allow the construction of ele.
vators and warehouses of small capacity
on tho railroad switch so that no person
or firm car extort in. grade or price in
tho purchase Of grain; and that no rail.
way or elevator company shall discrim.
mate or favor any person or firm, and
shall not disturb any established sta
ton. The chief feature and idea of the
platform is to put men into Office who
will advocate these principles and which
no honest, intelligent man will hesitate
for a single instant in giving his prom
ise that he will advocate and supper
them.
