The Boycott in Slavery Times.

The London Meas in an article on the
boycott idea insists thatthe principle or
the system was born in America and not
in Great Britain. Ireland gave a name
merely, the Meas contends, to a prac-
tice that was originated in slavery times
in the United States. This is in an
swer to the charge made by papers in
this country that the idea is un-Ameri-
can and is Of foreign importation.
The Meas calls attention to practices
in vogue in the United States before
the war when one section attempted to
boycott the other. when one State at
tempted to boycott n section, and when
communities wen to extremes in put
ting in force the boycott system against
school teachers and preachers, and
other people from the North who went
10 the South. The Meas insists that the
Objectionable textures of the system were
more prominent in those days and in
this country than they ever were in
Great Britain.
This may be true, but the NcwS is re-
minded that when the American people
had their attention called to this vio-
lation of the fundamental principles of
the Constitution they were at some
pains to correct the evil. What is now
known as the boycott system has v
succeeded for any great length of time.
Wherever and whenever 1t has been
employed public sentiment and M
thing more violent in the shape of pub
lie prejudice has grown up against those
who practice it. This has been the
uniform rule, and the Trades Assembly
was wise to pronounce against the in
discriminate use of what has been 40
much abused.
The truth is that the boycott has been
quite as often employed by corporations
and associations against the laborer as
it has by the laborer against corpora-
tons. 1t may be said that the labor
associations are justified in fgEhting
fire with fire, but as corporation ti:s
resorted to the boycott have lat p1Dlc

Now Method of LynchIng a william.

The wife OF Jacob Freimuth, a home
steader in Seward county, Kansas, was
murdered and outraged by Fritz Rupin, a
~half-witted German hupin had been for
some time enjoying the hospitality OF the
Freimuths. He was homeless and without
friends, and they had taken him in until
he could find work. During the tenn
porary absence of Mr.. Freimuth, Rupin
~overpowered his bencfactor's wife and bru-
tally outraged her person and then killed
her. The posse then set out to scour the
country for the murderer, and found him
secreted in n small %ravine, several miles
away from the scene of his crime, near the
Cinnamon river. A fractions and spirited
horse was secured and saddled. One end
OF the long lariat was then fastened around
his neck and the other extremity
was attached to the pommel OF
the saddle. The horse was then started,
and amid the shouting of the men and
cracks OF revolvcrs and rifles the frightened
animal tore madly away. After n run Of
nearly five miles the beast fell exhausted
and the lifeless body OF the murderer was
looscned as soon AS the men came up. The
lariat had drawn SO tight that his head
was almost severed from his body. The
features showed that he had died IL terrible
death. The body was left on the prairie,
uncovered.

Death of a Noted Minnesotian.

Officials in the general Office OF the Next
can Central railroad received u telegram
from Division Supt. Echcrt, at Freisnello,
$50 miles south OF Paso del Norte, an
nouncing that Col. Abner Tibbitts, presi-
dent OF the FL Paso, st. Louis Il Chicago
railway, had been found dcad in his berth
on u south-bound train for the City of
Mexico. Ex-Secretary Window OF Mime
sofa was accompanying the deceased to
the City OF Mexico on behalf Of the cele-
brnted ~Topolovampo Pacific railroad pro-
iect, in which both were largely interented
with Gen. Butler, and others. Col.
Tibbitts was in poor health, and it was
thought that his death was the result OF
heart disease, s~uparinduced by the rarity
of the atmosphere through which the train
was passing at tine time. The track through
that portion OF Mexico rises to an altitude
OF 5000 feet above this sea level. The de-
ceased formerly resided in Minnesota and
was widely known. At one time he lived
at Lake City, and represented Wabasha
county in the state legislature. Suisse
quently he was appointed register OF the
United States land office Mt st. Peter, and
filed the position for u number OF years,
being succeeded by Henry A.. Swift, who
succeeded Hon. Alexander Ramsey as gov
ernor OF Minnesota. After his retirement
from Office Mr.. Tibbitts engaged in the real
estate business. but several years ago re.
moved to New Mexico, where he engaged in
mining and stock growing.

More Dakota Admission Plans.

Washington Special: Mr.. Sprinrerintro.
duced a bill providing for the admission OF
Dakota as n state. Tho bill differs from
all the measures hitherto presented on this
subject, and Mr.. Springer believes that it
will be agreed to by the committee on ter
ritory, which will hold a special meeting
for its consideration.
The bill provides for the admission OF
the territory without division. Provision is
made for the election to be held on
the second Tuesday of November next,
when n convention is to be chosen for the
formation OF Il constitution, which consti.
tuition is to be submitted to n vote of the
people, the election to be held at such
time and place rs may be fixed by the con
stitution. At the election in November the
people are also to vote on a location for n
state capital, and the three places receiving
the create3t number OF votes are to be
again submitted to a vote OF the people at
the election fixed for the adoption OF a con-
stitution, and the place receiving the great.
est number OF votes at this election to be
designated as the state capital. Nocounty
shall be formed which contains less
thar three thousand inhabitants.
Counties now existing which do
not contain that number shall be %consoli-
dated. AT the election at which the con-
stitution is submitted FOR adop ton, state
officers aud two members of congress are
to be chosen.
There is nothing to prevent the election
OF two MEMBER to the second session OF
the present congress, but, as the constitu-
ton cannot be adopted earlier than Febru-
airy next, it is not likely that member will
be chosen to this congress-, and it looks as
if the bill was drawn to prevent Duko-
ia from gaining admission prior to the
time fixed for the assembling OF the
Fiftieth congress-. After being ndoDted
by Il popular vote, the constitution must
be submitted to congress-. through the
president OF the United States,
for the examination and approval OF that
body. Mr.. Springer thinks that should the
bill be passed at this session, nllits require
ments could be fulfilled in ample time tt
enable congress 10 admit the new state
prior to March i. 1887. The bill is SINH
lar in every respect to Mr.. Springer's Mis-
souri, river division bill in it's main features.
~fifty-one delegate districts are provided
for. No courts are provided for, that be-
ing left to the convention. 1t is thought
that it is the committed bill.

Amazing ~EXtrayagance.

Inc extravaganza OF rich Americans
is incredible. Cleopatra dissolving a
pearl in her morning. draught, and Lu-
cnllus dining on the brains of peacocks
and tongues of nightingalcs, are faint
suggestions of the luxury of American
millionaires.
About twer.ty years ago Mr.. Morgan,
a wealthy railroad contractor, married
a school-teacher. In 1876 he died, lcav-
ing her five million dollars in her W
right. A few months ago she died, and
the coming sale of her diamonds, bric-
a-brac. and paintings has put gossip on
her tracks. The disclosures are as
founding. She spent 500, 600 for her
collection of orchids, flowers that bid
fair to revive the tulip mania of Hol-
land. Her conservatory Of these ugly
but fashionable plants brought only
$4,000, so that it cost her $50. 900 net
and interest to W them a few months.
She has one vase for which she paid
$4,000. 1t is less than a foot high,
and is known as the peach blow" vase.
1t was made in 1914 in China, and the
delicate beauty of its tint has never
been reproduced, and perhaps never
will be. She paid $50. 900 for a single
picture, 81, 995, 900 for her collection OF
240 paintings. The Tiffanys made her
q solid silver candlcbra at y cost Of
1924, 900, and her bathroom cost $50
600. She had over 5000 plates, one
SCI Of which, made at Sevres. cost 3d.
800 a dozen. One single diamond in
her collection of jewels cost S47, 900.
These figures are staggering. Moth.
ing in the most profigatc epoch of
Rome. nothing in Venice, in Paris, or
in London surpasses them. Not even
the imagination of Dumas in depicting
"Monte Cristo," or Of Gautier in de-
scrihing one of Cleopatra's nights can
outstrip the actual accomplishments of
this New England school-mistrcss. A
swift and amazing evolution in this Law

who forbid the wearing of gold

ored ribbon All abominatioM in the
