PROHIBITION NEWS,
The Monday Night Meeting.

The advocates Of prohibition held
4 public meeting at the court house
Monday night. which was addressed
by several prominent citizens. Judge
Fcland spoke on the legal bearings Of
the proposed law; Judge Pctree on
the financial effects on the city. lie
stated among other things that the
revenues derived by the city from 10
saloons In 1885 were $3S20.70. Drunk
ards arrested aud put Ia the lookup
To be fed at the city 'sexpensc reduced
this sum considerably. lie took the
position that the saloons did a busi-
ness Of 5000 each at a low estimate,
making $4,000 the people paid out
IN order TO receive $3,S20.70. lie
took the ground that with liquor vot-
cd out there would be more money
among the poor aud the city would
have a smaller delinquent list return
cd because the people could better af-
ford to pay their taxes. Ills speech
had u telling effect on class Of citi-
zcns who were undecided whether or
not the law would be benefit to tie
city, aud the prohi5ilionists claim
that II gained them a number ofvotes.
Rev. Thos. Bottomley was next
called TO the stand, but excused him
self from speaking and after telling
an anccdote retired. Bob Lander,
the eloquent young colored man, who
has been speaking for the Dry side
then took the stand and made rous-
Ing speech 10 the colored voters. lie
was followed by Mr.. NJ. NJ. Hanbery,
who is stamping the county for pro-
Libition, although engaged III the
saloon business. lie made red-hot
speech aud stated his facts In the
plainest terms and called names Free
ly In giving what he claimed were
some of the inside workings of the
opposition. He fired into the Wet
men so lively that Isaiah Jones asked
to be allowed a reply and his request
being granted he was given an OPP
portunity TO speak for the Wet side,
lie doomed up as an orator Of no
mean attainments and made speech
that had a pleasing and telling effect
on the liquor adherents, who cheered
him enthusiastically. Mr.. Hanberry
replied TO him In short speech, af'
ter which the meeting adjourned.
The Vets announced a meeting fol
Wednesday night at the court house
but failed to hold 1t. They have Sc
cured the court house for Saturday
and Monday nights. "

"A speech Before the Conference Com
mittee Considering the Land law
Repeal Bill.
Washington, July 19-The house COM
mittee of conference en- the bill repeal
ing the land laws made its report of dis
agreement to the senate amendments
to-day and for the remainder of the day
the house indulged in Sparks dd
ndaseane. MIR. Payson made the report
and made decided sensation by a
statement that receivers receipt for
money paid for land could not vest in
the entryman clear title. In ignoring
the decisions of half dozen courts, the
supreme court of the United States
among them, and the customs and pre-
| cedents of years, MIR. Payson disturbs
| the title to lands in twenty states and
territories, and tears the foundation
from beneath the commercial fabric and
prosperity of nearly every western city I;
Tor every land office itself is loaded down
with patents dating back to the first year
of these enaetmentB, 1884, which have
never been called for and which the gov
ernment itself has never decided neg
essary to persent title. Excellent
speeches wero made by Delegates Gift
ford of Dakota and Carey of Wyoming
in opposition to the house bill, which
allowed Mr.. Sparks All indefinite career
of suspension. MIR. Gitford's speech was
printed.
He described wildly the suffering his
people had undergone by reason of the
unjust and Wholesale suspension OF
entries. He showed how comparatively
few were the frauds proven to tho entries
suspended, and protested against the
development of Dakota being stopped
and Its credit ruined to build up ma
tional reputation for the commissioners
of the general land Office, A single case
of proven fraud was loudly trumpeted,
| the lnnocense of q man who had been
made to suffer by unjust suspension was
never proclaimed.
Speeches of Weaver, O'Neill, Payson
and other men representing soft money
| districts, revealed new purpose In
| their efforts to get the desert land law
repealed. The first two advocated re-
peal of the law and then large appro
pRiation by congress for the
irrigation of these lands. Mr.. Cobb
closed the debate with some figures from
Sparks showing the number of frauds
that had been committed in the south
and detected. In comparison he had
also read o statement showing the land
| frauds in Nebraska. As 1t will be re-
membsred, Mr.. Lard last Friday leaned
over Mr.. Payson's shoulder and asked
Mr.. Cobb: why dent you attack the
land frauds in the south instead oil
putting your whole attention in the
west and northwest? These little
documents, although o trifle late, secur
ed very decided answer, and the house
became Interested of once. Mr.. Laire
did nothing, however, beyond addres
sing Ex-Governor Long. OF Massachu
setts, who sits on his right, few OBJ
seryations and turning little red
Then the house refused to recede from
it's position on the senate amendments
and adjourned.

A specu,ation smashed

Washington, July l7-President
Cleveland has sat down upon the busi-
ness enterprise of we'll known photo
grapher here, and quite crushed the
brightest hope of his life. A couple OF
weeks ago the artist induced Mrs. Cleve.
land to give him sittings for negatives.
He spent whole day, and secured
twenty-five positions. Many of them we're
large, full SIZE, and displayed variour
costumes, the most elegant in her ward
robe. Among the negatives were two
or three of the presidents bride just as
she appeared on the evening of her mar
riage. Her bridal robe appeared to
splendid advantage. Nothing IN par.
ticular was said about what was to pe
done with tue negatives. Mrs Cleveland
had in mind o large collection and va
rIety of photographs OF herself fol
friends. She thought, too, that the artis,
might want to- circulate them. Tht
artist had no other idea than that G.
selling the pictures, and made grea
preparations for producing and dispos
ing Of them. He made arrangements tt
manufacture 1000 day, and expected
to clear ST 100000 from them in this ant
other countries. His negatives were
! perfect and his prints charming. I'll,
| rented large room, put on sky lights
| had his negatives copyrighted ant
everything put in readiness for his work
Before the sittipgs of Mrs. CLEVELAND
were procured the photographer VII,
visited the white house, assured tn
president and his bride that they shoul,
select from the collection of negative
those they wished to have used
/ Imagine his surprise VIXEN b
went to the executive man
sion the other day with his negatives an,
utter those desired were selected beip
told by the president that under no Gil
cumstances must any OF the photograph
be made accessible to the public; tina
for no imaginable consideration wouI
i he consent to have his wife's picture
sold in the open market.
/ Instantly the photographers interes
fell. Hundreds OF dollars invested i
apparatus. circulars, materials. gone t
J smithereens. He chokeG his wrath an
4 disappointment, however, took an orde
for number of prints, and left. Th
artist feels under obligation to obsery
the injunction of the president, and th
: fortune he had within his grasp lik
! sand has gone through his fingers.

long drawn out contest over

bsttied for place as member of the
federal family throughout twenty
acrimonious years. Few of the newer
ststes have secured recognition without
long contests, but all have finally se-
cured what they contended for by per-
sistent and unyielding fealty to the
principles for which they contended.
All that Dakota can now do is to begin
anew its struggle for statehood and if

The Fargo Argus evidently loves
courage and believes in getting the
melons when you go for them. 1t re-
marks as follows:
The bravest and truest man to the lost
cause of the south--Dakota statehood
movements Gen. Hugh J. Campbell
who lost his battle at the reassemb bling
of the Sioux Falls convention when that
body refused to 'stand up and be man
by vote of thirty-one to twenty. These
puerile statesmen remind one OF lot
of boys starting out to rob watermelon
patch; they are all brave and anxious to
be foremost-until they get to the fence
that surrounds the coveted fruit-then g
streak of moonshine, reveals to their o'e,
wrought imagination legions of evil TO,
them. Such fellows are disgusting to Q
bold leader like General Campbell.

The tone of the anti-division press, in
its reference to the late action OF the
constitutional convention, is astonish-
ingly peculiar. One would think the
division and statehood movement had
ended in failure. The Aberdeen News
says:
The failure of the constitutional con.
vention to submit TO the voters the
question of the repeal of section thirty.
two carries with it q vast amount OF
signinh eance. 1t means the end of the
embyro state government and the set
ting aside of the labors OF the constltu
tlonal convention which convened about
a year ago, and which the News ther
styled q farce. The men who have beer
of the head and front of the division
movement for years-the men who hayt
always said they will not accept admis
sion as a whole--are the parties who
have favored the repeal of section thirty
two. Their reasons for the submission
of this question have been solely for the
purpose Of keeping alive the state gov.
eminent until another congress-, thus
keeping the people enthused with the
prospects of Its success ard with the
idea of division. That they ever in
tended setting up state without the
consent of congress the News does no
believe. The defeat Of this measure il
the body which drafted the constitution
shows either one or two things,-tha
the delegates understand fully tina
their constituency is opposed to tn
further agitation of the question of divi
sion, or have they abandoned the ide
of coming into the union in any manne
other than an enabling act OF congress
Hugh J. Campbell and his rank division
boomers will now have to devise som
| other means to keep division in th
minds of the people or else they vii
have to abandon the measure for good

Mitchell Republican: The delegate
situation is taking on shape, or rather
several shapes, thus early. There is no
question, in the first place, but that
Judge Clifford is the choice of the
majority of the voters, but his friends are
not dong the active work that the
frends of the half dozen other ambitious
statesmen are.
Over in the Sioux valley there is a
movement under way, on the quiet in
behalf of Judge 9. s. Palmer, and its
strong card is to keep it's candidate in
the background, and endeavor to prevent
pledged delegations for Clifford. Its chief
argument is that the latter has no show
for denomination, and delegates therefore
should not tie themselves up unneces-
sarlly.
Throughout central Dakota the name
of Col. O. b. Peck, of Brown county, is
| kept to the front, having been suggest
ed from certain quarters in the north
for reasons that will develop later.
Up the Red river valley Gen. Aliens
candidacy had it's start, aud his hopes
are being chiefly fed from that locality
though there is talk of his having a
Black Hills contingency we'll IN hand. =
| Bismarck, as represented by lts
Tribune and Alex. Mckenzie, is APP
parently not hostile TO Clifford, but there
is strong reason to believe that Gov
Pierce is the real choice of this section
4 and for that matter of the whole ol
north Dakota.
1t looks to us at this time as though
the plan,of Gov. Pierce's friends is tc
keep him in the back ground, until the
/! convention meets and it is ascertainea
just what Gifford's strength is against
the field, into which, from time to time
new candidates from the severill sections
may be introduced as they are needed
Once it becomes apparent that Clifford
cannot be nominated, and Chat the OBJ
] position to him can not be centered up
on any one of the avowed candidates
the effort will be made to rally the fielt
to Gov. Pierce's support, ae com

resent the whole territory rather thar
any one locality.
