which the Swiss Republic is conducted {:
"The Swiss Congress chooses council OF

President Tor one term only. Congress sits
but once year three weeks for session,
and the pay is $4a day. The elections
are held in churches. Civil service rules

a sensational meeting was held on Sun
day last in Cincinnati by the creditors OF
the late Archbishop Pursell. Strong res
olutions were adopted with enthusiasm,
among them one demanding that the pres
cut archbishop shall pay rent on the church
property occupied and used by the clergy
This would include the archbishop's resi-
dence, the cathedral and other churches,
valued in all at over 81 100000. Another
resolution was aimed at alleged dscrimin-
ations against Irish Catholic churches in
the matter OF control OF church property.

Important to Homeste aders.

Larami Wyo., Nov. 29-One OF the
most important decisions ever rendered
in this territory was delivered to-day by
Hon. Jacob Blair, sitting as United
States judge in the case of the United
States VS.. >. b. Simpson, indicted OF
this term of court for perjury on two
counts. Simpson had taken up home-
stead entry in the state of Wisconsin,
afterward commuted it to cash entry
moved to this territory, entered home
stead here, swearing in proving up that
he had never made homestead entry,
prior to the one made In this territory !.
The point involved was whether or not
the homestead entry made IN Wisconsin
and afterwards commuted exhausted his
rights under the homestead law. Judge
Blair instructed that simpsons entry
in Wisconsin did not exhaust his rights
under the homestead law aud in re-
entering in this territory he did not
commit perjury. This is the fret time
the question was ever raised in the
courts OF this territory and as far as
known the first time ever raised. The
case has attracted mnch attention.
Judge Blair's opinion is long and
exhaustive. Tstiis rights Of se..less nndar
the various land laws is fully discussed.
The decision meets general approval.

seems to prefer judicial to guberna-

Day for the appointment. Chief JUS

political friend Of Mr.. Cleveland, is also

'trooly loiP' visited Washington and
made vigorous attempts to down the
honorable Mike. But the attempt was
dead failure. The delegation left In dis

Dakota democracy. To-day it is said all
Days former opponents are found
among his supporters and he practically
has the unanimous support of the Da-

the proposed dividing line. Under
ordinary circumstances Day might be
pointed ont as sure winner in the pre-
sent race. He certainly shows up we'll,
but Cleveland delights to disappoint

aud that no successor has been named
The duties of the position are purely
clerical and Mrs. Free has performed
them for a year past, her invalid hus
band being adiutaut general only in
name. If military law and etiquette
prevent the governor from appointing a
woman to this position he could per-
nit General Free to remain as nominal
adlutant general and let his wife con-
tinue, as in the past. to keep up the work
of the office, for which she has proved
her competency. The salary is 1000 a
year. This recognition is due the
family of a crippled soldier. Dakota's
Grand Army posts should ask the gov
ernor to do this much for General Free.

A correspondent OF the Bismarck
journal, who writes from the c1pital
which is about to lose one half its con-
stituency, propounds these PROPOSE
tions;
In view of the fact that the SO called
state Legislature" OF south Dakota has
been called to convene on Decembe Is,
would 1t not be we'll for the governor to
issue his proclamation commanding this
disorderly mob to disperse, and If they
refuse TO do 30, and revolutionary and
anarchcal speeches are made, to use all
the force of the terrltory-and, if need
be, of the United States-to disperse
them, and if the leaders persist in meet
ing, passing militia bills or other revolu.
tlonary movements calculated to disturb
the public peace, treat them as the Chi
cago anarchists have been treated !?
Loyal Dakotaians who remember what
the suppression of secession cost us in
'6l-'65.will not look very conplacently on
an attempt to play the same game in '86.

There are very few, however, who are

The proclamation convening the Ds-

dence of vigorous apprr citation of
the situation. In it's preamble it recites
that Dakota has been denied admission
and her Representatives have been refused
recognition sin defiance of positive law
and established precedent,as well as COM
mon Justice and reason" The procla-
nation thus arraigns the con ngresa OF the

charges upon that body violation of

from the uig g1est constituted authority

a vulnerable spot IN the callous under

1t Will be seen that there were nine
states, each of which had, in 1880, lever
inhabitants than Dakota has now.
None of these states, except Nebraska,
has as many Inhabitants to-day az

have IN the aggregate thirty three
representatives III both branches of
congress,on three less than the state OF

state of Pennsylvania.
Not one of the thirty-eight states of
the union, with the single exception of
Virginia, had 80 many inhabitants when
1t was admitted as Dakota to-day, The
great commonwealth of New York of the
time when the first national census was
taken in 1870 had 100000 fewer lnhabi-
tants than are at present gathered in the
territory of Dakota. and Pennsylvania &
total then was $4,000 less than Dgkota's
now. The democratic majority in the
mousse OF representatives persists in
dlsfranchising, for political reasons, a
people nearly as numerous as those OF
Delaware and Florida combined. This
national crime, too, will be continued
until the democracy is driven from
power in the legislative branch of the
government. The house of representa-. .
tives which = to 30 chosen less than two
