81 MI Carroll D. Wright, the federal
commissioner Of labor, whose recent
report attracted much attention by
its argument that cooperation or
proftrsharing would be the final out
come Of the labor agitation, takes a
rosy view Of the prey ailing turmoil in
5theindustries Of the land. He declares,
ii 3 recent interview, existing agitar
8tions will bring better instead Of worse
times, and that they simply mean
that the wage system is nearing its
end. The so-called labor troubles, he
argues, are not the outgroWth Of ig.
norance, but the direct result Of in.
creased intelligence. P Participation by
workmen in profits ii addition to
wages Is q true harmonizer Of the in
terests OF capital and labor. II ia
fact identifies the interest 81 the EN-
ploye with that 81 the employer. IT
converts the Industrial association of
employer and employees into q moral
organization, III which al the various
talents, services and desires 81 the
component individuals are fused into
d community of purpose and sndeap
aot.

New Method Of Lynohlnr viuian.

Tho wife OF Jacob Freimuth, a home
steader in Seward county, Kansas, was
murdered and outraged by Fritz Rupin,
,half-witted German. Eupin had been for
some time enjoying the hospitality OF the
Freimuths. He was homeless and without
friends, and they had taken him in until
he could find work. During the TEN.
porary absence Of Mr.. ,Freimuth, Rupin
overpowered his beneiactor's wife and bru-
tally outraged her person and then Killed
her. The posse then set out to scour the
country for the murderer, and found him
secreted in n small ravine, several miles
away from the scene OF his crime near the
Cinnamon river. A fractions and spirited
horse was secured and saddled: One end
OF the long lariat was then fastened around
his neck and the other extremity
was attached to tho pommel OF
the saddle. The horse was then started,
and amid the shouting OF the men and
cracks OF revolvers and rifles the frightened
animal tore madly away. After q run OF
nearly five miles the beast fell exhausted
and the lifeless body OF the murderer was
loosened as soon as the men camo up. The
lariat had drawn so tight that his head
was almost severed from his body. The
features showed that he had died a terrible
death. The body was left on the prairie,
uncovered. f3."-':;sy'~..a7

The war talk between the French
and German newspapers has at last
brought out an utterance from Prince
Bismarck y organ, the North German
Gazette, which intimates that Ger
many will be there when France begins
to fight again. The Gazette's article
is q well considered one, and, while
not calculated to increase the animos-
ity between the two nations, shows
positively that Germany will not be
taken BY surprise. and expresses no
doubt as to the result Of another con-
fiict, # one should occur. Germany
recognizes that the French are brave
race, and that under the republic
they have made great many strides in
military strength, and believes they
will seize the first opportunity for re-
venge, but Germany thinks she knows
how to fight also. The article, it's
official source considered, ought to
cool French military arder for awhile.

More Dakota Admission Plans.

Washington Special: Mr.. springerintro.
duced q bill providing for the admission OF
Dakota as o state. The bill differs from
all the measures hitherto presented on this
subject, and Mr.. Springer believes that it
will be agreed to by the committee on ter
ritory, which will hold special meeting
forits consideration. "
The bill provides Tor the admission OF
the territory without division. Provision is
made for the election to be held on
the second Tuesday OF November next,
when a convention is to be chosen for the
formation OF q constitution, which consti-
tuition. is to be submitted to q vote OF the
people, the election to be held at such
time and place as may be fixed by the con
stitution. At the election in November the
people are also to vote on a location for o
state capital, and the three places receiving
the greatest number OF votes are to be
again submitted to a vote OF the people at
the election fixed for tho adoption OF O con.
stitution, and the place receiving the great
est number OF votes at this election to be
designated as the state capital. No county
shall be formed which contains less
than three thousand inhabitants.
Counties now existing which do
not contain that number shall be CONSOLE
dated. At the election at which the con.
stitution is submitted for adop ton, state
SihSC2o anu WV uI6tuDeEb Ok congress are
to be chosen.
There is nothing to prevent the election
OF two members to the second session OF
the present congress, but, rs the constitu.
ton cannot be adopted earlier than Febru-
airy next, it is not likely that members will
be chosen tosthis congress, and it looks as
il the bill was drawn to prevent Dako-
ia from gaining admission prior to the
time fixed for the assembling OF the
Fiftieth congress. After being adopted
by apopular vote, the constitution must
be submitted to congress, through the
president of the United States,
Tor the examination and approval OF that
body. Mr.. Springer thinks that should the
bill be passed Mt thissession, its require
ments could be fulfilled in ample time to
enable congress 10 admit the new state
prior to March 4, 1887. The bill is SINH
lar in every respect to Mr.. Springer's Mis-
souri, river division bill in it's main features.
Fity-one delegate districts are provided
Tor. No courts are provided for, that be.
ing left to the convention. 1t Ia thought
that it is the committees bill.
