Aeninst ,ienerpl rslno,s.

Washington, June 25 The employ
ment committee of the Grand Army OF
the Republic has submitted to the pres
ident charges against General Black, for
violation of section 1854 of the revised
statntes, which requires honurably dig-
charged soldiers to be given preference
in appointments to Office. In May, 1885,
when Gen. Black first began his work of
removing old soldiers from the pension
Office the members protested to the
president in letter. No attention was
paid to it. A second letter was sent and
no attention was given it,.
A third letter was taken
in person to the president.
Again no attention was paid to it; and
finally this week the chairman OF the
general committee, w. S. O'Dell, and
the chairman OF the executive commit
tee, J. b. Burke, addressed another
letter to him, and ita reception is awaited
with interest. The letter cites instances
where the law has been violated by Gen.
Black, and it says:
We feel justified in charging upon the
commissioner of pensions in removals
and appointments such misunderstand-
ing and disregard of the laws enacted
for the benefit and protection of honor
ably discharged soldiers as should sub
iect his conduct TO official inquiry, and
if it should be found that he has not
acted ignorantly, then to Just censure if
not removal from his office.

The Dell Rapids postof1ice is reduced
from $1,000 salary to fourth class, Lead
City from ST. 900 salary to fourth class
and Pierre from $1,000 to $l,40O. The
Huron, Mitchell and Yankton postoffices
are raised from third class to second
class. OF these two Huron and Yank-
ton formerly ranked as second class,
retrograded to the lower class and have
now recovered their lost ground. The
classification of postotfice is based
upon the amount of money received for
stamps and box rents. Yankton went
backward after the great Dakota
railroad boom, which cut off its
steamboat business, established
new commercial centers in the region
north and west and completely rayolu-
tionized the postal system of southeast
Dakota. 1t has regained its position by
solid, enduring business growth, by
the coming of new railroad and by the
introduction of improved postoffice
fixtures which have increased the re-
ceipts for box rents. That it has ad-
vanced in the scale is certain indication
that our city is advancing in material
prosperity and that this has been ac-
eomplished without any boom is all the
better for Yanktons future.

Anarchsst parsen's travels.

Chicago, June 26--An account is made
public this morning of the travels and
doings of the anarchist Parsons, from the
time of the Haymsrket riot to his re-
turn. 1t appears wne2 the bomb was
thrown Parsons leaped from the wagon
and ran hurriedly home. Here he held
a consultation with his wife. and decid--
ing upon flight took the early Rock
Island train for Omaha. Parsons hair
and moustache are iron gray in color.
but personal vanity has ever led him to
the use or dark dye, and even his most
intimate acquain tanees have
known. and described HIM as o
dsrk-haired man. Before leaving home
he removed the dye from his hair and
mustaohe. The result Was thorough
change in his appearance. On reaching
Omaha Parsons went direct to the home
of Anton Ruhe, keeper of the road house
which sheltered Rau, during his
solourn in that CITY. Up to that time
the desire to apprehend Parsons had not
been known, but he soon learned through
the newspapers of the progress of public
sentiment and the yearning the police
had for glimpse of him, and he be-
came greatly alarmed. Through the
meditation Of Ruthe, it is stated he Sc
cured refuge on farm near Papilllon.
There he remained until Friday last,
when, yielding to the advice Of Cap
tain Black, he started for Chicago,
He boldly entered Omaha, purchased
ticket and made the journey of 500
miles without an attempt at conceal
ment. His beard during his absence
covered his face and when he appeared
before his wife Monday morning she
scarcely knew HIM. In the afternoon he
secured the services OF barber, and

criminal court. 1t is now certain
Balthazar Rau's mission to Omaha was
partly to see Parsons, but as he said In
q previously published letter, Rau was

| Nebraska that he abandoned his project.
Parsons constantly communicated by
letter with his wife and latterly with
Captain Black.

An Aberdeen special to the Minnea.
polls Trlbure remarks:

Col. Steele said, in making Yankton
the location of the convention, they
snuffed it up their noses and didn't
know it. He is for division if the people
want it. He wanted the representation
on the basis of the republican vote, and
not on population. The colonel said he
had the center of gravity knocked from
under him once before, and he did not
propose to have it again. "Yankton
means Clifford. He is ell right except on
division. If divided east and west, make
the line fifty miles south of the Al
parallel all right. North Dakota wants
Brown county, with her 100000 bushels
of hard wheat, and she ought to have it,
We fear that Brown county must be
induced to remain in the union of the
lower half. The south abhors jagged
boundary line and wants q slick, smooth
cleavage between the parts. Brown
county bears the name of man who to
this day is known as Consolidation
Brown" 1t should be true to the indi.
viduality of It's parentage and consoli-
date its interests with those OF
the solid south and not be roaming of
after the false gods and bt gus prophets
of the No. l hard belt.

say how Clifford stands in our section.

You can say this for me, that there
seems to be desire on the part of
