has much else to do. 1t might take
lesson from Grover Cleveland's pat
riotism. Senator Vance could point
out many ways by which the former
could be assisted and taxation reduced.
But last week the old worn out tune,
the President and the Senate, was
ground out again. The discussion
over the Blair Educational Bill took
the form OF debate on States Rights.
The bill empowering national banks
to change name, location and capital
was passed.
THE HOUSE
passed the bill forfeiting land grants
of Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Co.,
to be settled only according to home
stead law. A favorable report was
received on the bill to pay postal notes
at any money order Office. The
bill quoting the titles to settlers lands
in Iowa, 100000 acres in all, was
adopted The question of anne1ing
northern Idaho to the Territory Of
Washington received favorable vote.

bill by the Senate last week was due
chiefly to the efforts of Senator Hoar.
The discussion was interesting, as the
average Senator is nothing, if not
versed in the fine arts. This session
promises to give all ample scope. We
are promised another monument to
Lincoln and ono to Hancock. Ex-
clusively versed in the fine arts, the
Senate alone is able to judge whether

MAI, PETER w. HAIRSTON.
Sudden Death of the Largest Land Owner

Sudden Death of the Largest Land Owner
In North Carolina.
w s. in Danbury Reporter
Peter Wilson Hairston died sud-
denly at Baltimore, Thursday, 18th,
inst, and was buried on Saturday fol-
lowing at Oak Hill, Pittsylvania Co.,
Va, where he was born in the year of
1919. He was the son of Samuel
Hairston, and grandson of Peter
Hairston, who was one of the early
settlers in this county. His great
grand father on his maternal side was
Peter Perkins, who was early asso-
ciated with James Taylor in making
iron in this county, as he had done be-
fore at the troublesome Iron Works"
in Guilford county, and who received
a grant, from George III, to an estate
Bury Hill, in Pittsylvania Co., Va,
the title of which is now in the pos
session of the family. He was educat-
ed at the University of Virginia and
was sometime on Gen. Stuart's staff
during tha war between the States.
After the war he associated himself
with others in establishing the COM
mission house Of Herbert, Hairston u
Co, Baltimore, since which time it
has been his custom to spend por-
ton of each year, with his household,
| at Baltimore, and at Sauratown his
residence in this county; in this way
contrasting the busy and varied scenes
of city life with the seclusion of an is.
slated retreat-where he dispensed a
| hospitality the fullness of which was
only measured by the openness of his
heart. He was twice married, first to
Miss Stuart, of Henry Co., Va, after
ward to Miss Fanny. daughter of
Judge Caldwell, by whom he had Is
sue of four children.
The pen of the writer doe. not at
tempt, in this brief announcement, to
trace his tastes, sympathies, and tem-
permanent; nor to characterize, man,
whose life was duly appreciated and
recognized by the judgement of his
associates. Though a regular attend
ant at the services of the Episcopal
Church it is not known to the writer
that he was a member of the Church.
Indeed the language of Americas first
orator, Edward Everett, would to ou1
mind, aptly illustrate his religious feel
ings-"In like manner, the stream Of
practical piety flowed through the
heart and conduct of our departed
friend, but the feecy clouds of silent
reverence hover over the current, anG
a firm and rational faith was princi
pally manifested not in sectarian pro
fessions, but in a chasened temper, {
pure conversation, and an uprigh
life"
The spirit of one who possessed
much geniality of manner and grao
of mind has passed from earth.

CONGRESS TO ASSIST MILITIA.
North Carolina Guard to be Largely
Benefited If the Bill Becomes Law,

NorCh OaroAna Uuaru co De Largely
Benefited If the Bill Becomes a Law.
From the Richmond State.
In 1905 Congress appropriated
100000 annually for the general
body of the militia" At that time
our population was about 5000. 900:
now it is about 55,OOO,O0O; and vet
this appropriation has never increas-
ed. The appropriation as it now
stands is divided between the States
based upon the number of members in
the House Of Representatives, and is
furnished only in ordnance stores.
By strict economy the State of Vir-
ginia is now supplied under that law
with sufficient ordnance stores for all
purposes; but our volunteers who have
supplied themselves with all other nee
essaries at their own and very great ex-
pense for fifteen years are in need of
other stores.
Several efforts have been made by
different representatives in Congress
to make increased provision for the
militia, but heretofore the measure
has failed for want of time to push it
through. Recently such men as the
Gen. Mcclellan and other prominent
soldiers have written very strong ar.
guments in favor of better organiza-
ton of the militia, and the matter
seems likely to receive more attention
at the hands of our national law max
erS.
General Sewell, Senator from New
Jersey, has procured the passage
through the Senate of bill appropri-
ating 100000 annually for the mill
tia, and providing for the supplying OF
quartermaster's stores and equip
ments.
This is what our volunteers need.
Under this bill they would be relieved
of the burdensome tax of uniforming
themselves and it seems to be unjust
to require them to give their time and
labor necessary in the performance OF
their duties as soldiers for the benefit
of the State and the government al
large, and then to pay all the expenses
| Except tor arms themselves.
Within the last year our volunteers
| were Oruered out III petersburg, Cul
pepper and Stanton to assist the civil
officers in the preservation of peace
1t is folly to say the volunteers are no
needed. FIVE hadn't them they would
be needed ten times as often as now
Their very existence is preventive
of troubles.
We hope, therefore, that all the rep
resenta,ives from Virginia, as well a
those from other States, in the Hous
Of Representatives, will give their at
tention to the passage of Senator Sew
ellis bill, and not let il die in tn
House for want of being pushed for
ward ON the calendar.
The bill has been considered by
board of our volunteer officers, and
is what they want. Let them have il

ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND.
The Prominent Figure I'm the Tele-
phone Case.
Hon. Agustus H. Garland, whose
name has been quite frequently men
toned of late in connection with the
Telephone Scandal, was born in Upton
county, Tenn, June II, 1882. The
following year his parents moved to
Arkansas, where he has made his home
ever since, and which State he has
represented in the Senate since 1876.
He was educated in St. Mary's College,
St. Joseph's College, in Kentucky He
studied law and was admitted to prac-
tice at Washington, Ark, the place
where his parents had originally set
tied, in 1858, He moved to Little
Rock where his home now is, in 1856.
He was a delegate to the State Con-
secession in 1861, and was also mem
ber Of the provincial Confederate
Congress that subsequently met the
same year at Montgomery, Ala. He
served in both the House and Senate
when the war closed. He was elected
from Arkansas to the United States
Senate March 4th, 1867, but was not
admitted to his seat. He made the
test oath case as to lawyers in the Su-
preme Court of the United States and
gained it. He practiced law at Little
Rock, Arkan:as, without opposition
with success until 1874, when he was
elected Governor of Arkansas without
opposition, and at the expiration of
his term was elected to the United
States Senate, again having no oppo-
sition, and succeeded Powell Clayton.
He took high rank as lawyer from
the day he entered the Senate, and
was for some time member of the
Judiciary Committee He is of me-

OFFICIAL returns from all the counties
in the territory have been received, and
the table in another column is the first
correct statement of the vote for delegate
yet published. The total vote Of the ter
ritory was 104,811, of which Mr.. Clifford
received 66,932 and Mr.. Day 37,S79, a
majority for the republican nominee of
29,O53. In North Dakota Mr. Clifford re-
ceived 23,53S votes and Mr.. Day 15,508.
In South Dakota Mr.. Clifford received
1884 votes and Mr.. Day 22,371. In
other words, Mr.. Clifford received 60 per
cent. of the total vote in North Dakota
and 66 per cent. of the total vote in South
Dakota. Reckoning five inhabitants to
each voter, the usual ratio, the territory
has population of 524,055. 1t is abso-

In THE the Estate legislature, which
Governor Mellette called to meet at
Huron on the 18th inst, are sixteen
members who are also members-elect of
the territorial legislature which meets at
Bismarck on the 18th of January. Five
are in the council and eleven in the
lower house. Those in the council are:
E. @. Ericsson, Of Union county; T. O.
Bogert, of Bon Homme; F. r. Aikens,
of Lincoln; John Cain, of Beadle, and
F. j. Washabaugh, of Lawrence. The
house members are: J. V. White, of
Clay; J. P. Ward, of Turner; F. A. Nor
ris, Of Hutchinson; John Hobart, of
Moody; J. FL. Patten, of Miner; W. N.
Berry, of Clark; John r. Dutch, of

P. Wells, of Pennington; J. D. Patton,
of Lawrence; J. G. Jones, of Charles
Mix. George S. Cross, Of Hyde, mem
ber of the lower house is member of
the constitutional convention. In view
of the fact that so many southern gentle
men are members of both legislatures, it
might be well for the Huron organiza-
tion to adjourn to meet in Bismarck on
the 18th of January.

Hon. Louis K. CHURCH, associate JUS
tice OF the Dakota supreme court, has
been appointed governor of this territory.
In the New York Legislature three years
ago, President Cleveland, then governor
OF that great state, had warm and con-
slant friend IN Judge Church. That
friendship contributed to the making of
Cleveland president of the United States
it made Louis K. Church an associate
justice and now it eliminates in his be-
coming governor of Dakota. Judge
Church is only SO years of age and will
be the youngest governor Dakota has ever
had--a fact that will extend rather than
decrease his popularity. As Judge he has
given entire satisfaction in his district
and has kept aloof from all sectional
strife. His judicial training will be of
great service to him in dealing with mat
ters brought by the legislature and it can
be expected of him that he will give a
wise and successful administration.

THE report of the Dakota railroad COM
mission for the year ending June 80, 1886,
is now in press. The report shows an in.
crease in the railroad mileage Of 551 miles,
making the total Of completed road 1887.
Regarding the regulation OF elevators the
report says:
The provision of law compelling trans
pOrtatiOn companies to allow shipment of
grain in carload lots was great relief
had beneficient results. But the influence
Of this law is circumscribed by existing reg
ulations of railroad and elevator com
panies. Elevator companies should be
compelled to deliver the storage wheat on
demand on surrender of receipts. In this
event storage receipts would be negotiable
and the farmer thus could send them to any
necessity Of accepting the price of the
local dealer. There are in Dakota 344
elevators and 306 warehouses, hav-
ing the aggregate capacity of 49,
$4,000 bushels Of these there are
in North Dakota 200 elevators, "a ware
houses, 9,Ol2O00 bushels, and in South Da-
kota 1S8 elevators, 252 warehouses, and
4,8S1, 800 bushels. Among the recommend
ations are the following: That the law re-
quiring railroad companies to make annual
reports to the commissioners, be amended
SO as to include telegraph, telephone. ex-
press and sleeping car companies; that the
transit system" be prohibited in Dakota
unless accompanied by an option to the
shipper to ship at 'spro rata'' local rate,
or unless the carrier guarantees to redeem
transit tickets at par; that the commission
ers be authorized to bring suit against any
public corporations over which they have
jurisdiction to enforce a right or to correct
any abuse; that all elevators, warehouses
and stOrehouses wherein grain shall be re-
eeiyed from the public for storage or ship
ment be declared public warehouses, and
owners or proprietors be required to give
bond and be licensed by the territory, and
be made and issued in form negotiable.
