regulating the desert land act. The
Senate amended this bill by inserting
the Senate bill, which. as amended,
makes the same provisions as the House
bill, and in addition repeats the desert
land law. The bill was then in this
form passed. The lIouse, now, desir-
ing to push its own bill, non-concurs in
this Senate amendment, and the results
will depend on the ability of the COM

WHATEVER the result of the present
Parliamentary election may he, the
Irish question can never go back To its
old position. Lord Salisbury s method
of coercive legislation that will not
finch. is dead forever, and dead within
year. Ireland must have a self-goy-
eminent Of some kind, and the problem
now to be considered is what it shall
be. Even the Tory leaders see this
plainly, and John Bright, in the midst
of his fierce opposition to home rule as
brought forward by Mr. Gladstone, ad-
mits something of this kind. The lat
ter may lie defeated at thi, time, but he
has set current of thought in motion
which will never be checked until some
definite solution Of the Irish matter in
the direction of autonomy shall be
worked out.-T0led0 Blade.

IT is said that President Cleveland is
beginning to realize that lie has made
great mistakes in the reckless use of
the veto power against soldiers pen
sions. Washington specials assert
that numerous democratic congress
men and prominent leaders Of the
party have represented TO the president
that he has greatly damaged the pros
poets Of the party in northern congress
sional districts; that the people of the
various localities know the circum-
stances Of some OF the soldiers bills for
whose relief have been vetoed, and they
know that these persons were deserv-
ing of the bounty of the government.
When it comes to an election this
knowledge will make the row of the
democratic candidate a hard one to
hoe.-S;our City Journal.

THE LEADER is in favor of re-elect-
ing Delegate Clifford. Mr.. Clifford has
worked faithfully for the division and
admission Of Dakota, and has accom-
plished as much as any other Dakota
man could have accomplished in that
direction. He has proved himself a
man of integrity, and one who will
stand by his constituents and work for
their interests. by all means let us re-
turn Delegate Clifford.

DURING the May session OF the con-
stitutional convention the following
resolution was passed and sent to Mr..
Gladstone by the presiding officer, Mr..
Owen:
The Constitutional Convention OF Dakota
sends greeting to the Parliament OF the Brirish
Empire. and congratulstes its people that
their able and long-sighted Prime Minister
has introduced government measures looking
to local self-government for Ireland under
the Empire. We, believing that local self
government is polite and would be n blessing
to England and ireland alike will hail with
Joy the consummation of that long looked for
event.
BY order of the Convention.
JOHN A. OWEN, Presiding Officer.
The following reply has been received
by Mr.. Owen:
10 DOWNING STREET, WHIT EuALr, May e.
1Ss6.-Sir: / am desired by Mr.. Gladstone to
request you TO express TO the Constitutional
Convention Of Dakota his grateful apprecia-
tioR of the important resolution which they
unanimously adopted on the 9th of May i'm
support of his policy of local self-governmont
for Ireland. Such expressions Of sympathy
and approval are very encouraging to Her
Majcstys government. remain sir, your

The settled policy of the Roman
Catholic church in Europe is to oppose
all kinds of secret societies, ard it ap.
pears that it will be followed vigorously
in America, as is shown by the Pope's
approval of the letter of the cardinal
archbishop Of Canada against the
knights Of Labor and other organiza-
tions. 1t seems probable that thus the
Knights of Labor will lose all the
Catholic Irish workingmen from this
cause. - Toledo Blade.

The Constitutional Convention,

There is hope for Dakota. The con-
vention did not submit the repeal of
Sec. 81, but the majority of those who
aided in the adoption of that section
last September now concede that it
never should have been adopted--that
it was unwarranted, unnecessary. and
an error. But the majority Of the con-
vention determined to make no change
now because Mr.. Harrison, our leader
in the United States Senate, implored
us so earnestly not to interfere with
our pending case. Congress is still in
session and, if nothing is done this
summer. the Dakota bills will come up
as unfinished business next winter.
This Congress continues till March A,
1887. In the mastery debate at Sioux
Falls the true Jeffersonian doctrine Of
the real status of the Territories or
"new States which our fathers
adopted was made clearer than ever
before i'm Dakota, and the fsct is now
recognized that the people have rights
and it is not Congress which breathes
life into State. Powers are now con-
ceded to the people never before con-
ceded by the majority. The constitu-
tional convention, representing the
sovereignty Of the peonle, has found it
has duty which it can not surrender:
to perpetuate its existence until Dakota
is State in the Union. Last May the
delegates We're SO i'll advised of their
duties that it was the common impress
sion that their functions were at an
end, and even the learned president Of
the convention was of the impression
that the convention should not meet, -
that all was over. To-day no such i'm
preston exists in that convention. IL
meets again Nov. %, and has appointed
State executive committee with brewer
to summon the convention to meet at
any time in case Of neoessity. The
judiciary committee csRqDelly con-
sidered this provisions nlmoosly
reported In its favory !0oo & was
unanimously adopted. Never ~
did that convention undsrstand l({
