The bin admitting Dakota rs
State, has passed the Senate and rs

fail to pass the House, as The Demo

that Dakota'S representation in Con

The military heroes of the civil
war of the United States are passing
away in quick succession. Within
n few months two commandcrs-in-
chief, General Grant ard General
Mcclellan, have died, and last week
Tuesday the sudden death Of Gen
eral Hancock, one Of the greatest Of
the divisional commanders, was an
nouneed. The death of General
Rawley, who was General Grants
military secretary throughout the
war, also occurred on the same day.
The business prospects of the
country are said to be bright and
encouraging. There has latterly
been a steady commercial and iinan-
cial Improvement. Government re-
ceipts from internal taxes and Gus
toms constitute pretty good bust
ness barometer. For the seven
months ending with January the in,

ing in artificial stimulation, every
branch of trade has been infused
with new life and energy, and the
present year promises to be one of
general prosperity, Notwithstanding
the melancholy forebodings OF in.
corrigible grumblers. If the leaders
of parties will avoid undue party
irritation, and manufacturers and
merchants will conduct their bust
ness on sound princi ples-without
infatlOn-there will be industrial
prosperity and social contentment

The Cuban cigarmakers are mainly
colored people, although many crcoles
and Spanish cmigrants engage in the trade.
The cigarmakeis form the toughest and
most miserable part of the population Of
Havana. When high wages are paid they
become unmanagcablc, and manufacturers
use every means TO cnticc labOrers from
one house to another often brhing and
looming money with no prospect Of ever
being repaid. Hundreds of dollars are
spent sometimes in inducing single
workman to leave onc place for another.
In times Of scarcity of hands the state
prisoners are released. In 1881 the govern
ment freed 500 couvicts to supply the
wants of tobacco manufacturers. Another
regularity consists in having to pay to
employees their earnings three times per
day

should have its powers enlarged so as

committee would, on its return. ask to
have its powers enlarged. He said
they were in harmony with the Presi-
dents measure except that 1t did not
go far enough. There should be some
power in the government to prevent

THE GOULD LINE STRIKE.
No Progress for - settlement OF ths
Df0ieul0feH

Ne PPoGFess for - settlement Of the
Dimeulties.
NEw BRUNSWICK, N. j., April o.
John +. Hayes, member Of the Gen
eral Executive Board OF the Knights
OF Labor, returned 10 this city last
evening. He says that no progress has
been made toward a settlement Of the
difficulties between the strikers OF the
Gould system and the railroad officials
The case Is now, however, in a shape
from which II is expected that when
the Congressional Committee reaches
St. Louis and meets with the Citizens'
COMMITTEES thoee two bodies may be
able 10 hit on some plan whereby q
settlement may be effected. He says
the reports sent out by the railroads
that they are handling all the freight
they want TO every day are untrue.
The roads are all blocked up and what
freight is Iun out goes under the pro-
lection OF deputy sheriifs and the mi
litia. The railroads claim aud Mr..
Hayes admits that they have now all
the men 10 do the work they have 10
do, which ia very little ON account OF
the blockade. There have been, he
says, $1,000 loaded cars standing in the
yards for four weeks.
Mr.. Hayes says that the unCalled
for massacre OF innocent people by
the deputy sheTifss was instigated by
the railroad authorities. They knew
they could not get the help Of the
State militia until some act Of violence
was committed. They therefore got
together a gang OF roughs, who
brought on the trouble, and the Gov
ernor then ordered the militia on the
scene. He further says that the law
yers employed by the Knights OF
Labor have now in their possession
ample evidence 10 convict prominent
officials Of the Louisville and Nash
vile road Of melting this riot. Being
asked his opinion OF the Third Ave
nue., New York, strike, Mr.. Hayes said
that il was one Of those strikes ordered
by the district assembly without the
authority Of the General Executive
Committee. The whole spirit and in
tent OF the order. said Mr.. Hayes, Ia
opposed 10 the idea Of strikes and
boycotts, which have arisen because OF
the want OF laws to prevent them. 1t
is in view Of the great success Of
strikes and boyootts that the General
Executive Board have just called a
special session OF the General Assem-
bly,, 70 meet in Cleveland on May 25th,
to take action ON the great question
brought up by the recent strikes and
boycolts. An endesvor will be made
to prevent in the future any such up
rlsings as are now in progress with
out the authority Of the Geoeral As
sembly. Mr.. Hayes returns TO 81.

DOUBLE HANGING.
a Couple OF M0rderers swung or
nj Fort smith.

FoRT SMITH, ARK, April 2S.-James
WATSON and Joseph Jackson were ex.
ecuted here to-day for murders COM
mitted in the Indian Territory. An
ticipating 4 respite, United States
Marshal Carroll postponed the hour
of execution until afternoon. AT 2
O'Clock the prisoners were dressed
and the death warrants read. They
were then ironed, and after bidding
their fellow-prisoners good-by, were
taken 10 the scaifold at o'clock.
Before being handcuffed Jackson at
tempted to cut his throat with q bottle
that some Of the prisoners used as
flower vase, but was prevented by the
guards after he had cut an ugly cash
in his neck. Some delay occurred at
the gallows awaiting Wasson's minis
ter, and after the minister's prayer
the doomed men babe each other
good-by, and as the ropes were adj
iusted babe their last farewell TO the
guards, reporters and others present.
Toe drop was sprung at 3:46 pm, and
both men died without struggle
The execution was Witnessed by about
100 people, mostly deputy-marshals,
guards and reporters. Both men pro-
tested their innocence, and Jackson
said the witnesses swore lies against
him. This makes seventy-one men
hanged on this gallows within the past
twelve years, all for murders commit
ted in the Indian Territory.
