William a. Stone, suspended from th
Office OF United States attorney for th,
western district of Pennsylvania at tn,
same time w. E. Benton, OF Missouri
was suspended and for like offence
namely, political activity, has laid his
case before the president and asked
that the order of suspension be resclnd :
ed, as it was in Bentons case. In reply
the president writes the attorney gen.
eral long letter In which he refuses to
restore MIR. Stone to his forfeited posi-
ton. AS his case was precisely similar
to the Benton case, this conclusion on
the part of the execu We excites COM
ment. The gentlemen occupied posi-
tions of the same kind, both II, o ai-
vertised to speak at political meetings
and both delivered speeches in aecor-
dance with the announcements made.
Both were suspended for these offences.
Mr.. Benton wrote the department of
justice acknowied rag tiis offence and
was promptly restored to his place. Mr.,
Stone wrote the department of justice
acknowledging his offence and the presi-
dent promptly declined to restore him to
his place. Mr.. Ceveland's reason,
as expressed in his letter on the subject,
for not. following in the case of Mr..
Stone the precedent established in the
case of Mr.. Benton is that Mr.. Stone, in
his political work, was in antagonism
with the administration. He made re-
republican speeches, while Mr.. Benton
made democratic speeches. The diff
ference between the two men, stated
plainly in President Cleveland's COM
munication, is that Benton is demo-
crat and Stone republican. The
presidents order against pernicious
politics therefore applies only to re-
publicans. Republicans will not object
to this discrimination, but what OF the
civil service reform mngwumps?

South Dakota's constitutional con-
ventioa, which adjourned from the 14tb
OF July to the 23ld of November, as.
sembled in Sioux Falls last Tuesday and
held brief session. This meeting was
held for the purpose of preventing the
convention from lapsing and to keep
alive the statehood organization. The
convention did something more i'm
portant than merely holding meeting.
1t directed it's president and secretary
to call another constitutional meeting at
Huron on the 18th of December and
asked Governor Melette to convene the
state Legislature in that city on the
same date. 1t is expected that every
member of the constitutional conven.
ton and the state legislature will be IN
Huron on the 10Th inst ready to pro,
ceed in behalf of the statehood move
ment. A conference of persons interest.
ed in division and statehood for south
Dakota will be held during these Official
gatherings. Governor Mellette will
deliver his annual message to the legis-
lature. 1t is to be hoped that the state
Legislature will take some positive steps
in the direction of statehood at
this gathering. Something radical
would not be out of place at this juno
ture when all efforts are tending towards
an act for the admission of Dakota al
one state. The late election within the
territory teaches that south Dakotl
must rely upon south Dakota and dis
miss the mistaken idea that it can ex.
pect anything from the north. There Ii
little hope that congress will do any
thing in behalf of ths state which hal
adopted it's constitution and elected al
its officers and Is ready to proceed. i
| would therefore be wise act upon the
part of the state makers to complet,
their work at Huron next month. Th
| Huron constitutional and legislativ
gatherings were called by what is know
as the conservative portion OF th
constitutional convention organization
that element being in majority at th
Sioux Fslls meeting. It is an indication
that the conservatives are coming up {
the advanced line of the radicals in th
movement. In the future they ma
work shoulder to shoulder. II they d
there IS hope for statehood. The Huro
gatherings promise geod results for th
future.

pondence, which reads:
Since it was hlnted through the
papers few days since that the admins
tration would think favorably OF M. III
Day for governor of Dakota, lndorse-.
ments for that gentleman have been
rolling In upon the president by the
score. He sent down from the White
House to day to the interior depart
ment nine documents of this nature
received in one mail from points In
almost every section of the territory
warm, enthusiastic, urgent. Mitchell,
Yankton, Sioux Falls, Pembina, Fargo
and Grand Forks were represented in
this effort to boom Day, and Depart
ment official says that the papers in the
case are reaching immense proportions.
Mr.. Day received letter
from Ziebach himself yesterday
directing him to Withdraw his
tZiebach's)application and papers from
the department and file his letters as
Ziebach's endorsement of Day. The
latter, however, would not do this, and
told Secretary Lamar that he was as
stropgly for Hiebach as ever, and was
anxious that he should be appointed
1t is understood, from fully reliable
source, that Secretary Lamar and the
president gave the Dakota governership
brief consideration after the cabinet
meeting to-day, and that the enthusiastic
and spontaneous indorsement OF Day
was commented upon. The president
rather leans to the appointment OF q
New York man to the place, the warning
factions of the Dakota democracy
having weaned him from his alleged
plan of giving territorial Offices to
territorial residents. For this reason he
has looked with some favor
| on Justice Church, The
arrival of Day, however,
from his qualified defeat with mes.
sage OF peace to all men (dsmocrats)
from the Dakota democracy, has again
opened the question Of Dakota candi-
date, and now Day leads his fellow
democratic IN the race, although he has
perslstently and Loyalty pushed Ziebach
for the place. 1t may seem strange, but
Mr.. Days strongest and earnest en-
dorsement appears upon the letter head
of the territorial democratic committee,
an organization that has done much in
the past to discredit him here in
Washington.
Governor ziebaoh personally cons
firms the statement relative to the with
drswal of his papers of endorsement for
the governorship. He told US last Tues
day that he had done this and intimated
that he was out of the race. His en-
dorsements go to Mr.. Day, whom he
wasmly supports as personal friend
and public man.

MILITARY GLORY The list of ex-
soldiers of Wisconsin, compiled by the
state department, is receiving criti-
cisms from the various sources on ac-
count OF its errors. But it was ever
thus, that the soldiers humble pride in
his military record is being mortified.
A characteristic instance of it may be
seen on our Grant County soldiers
monument. John Wesley Largent, a
Young man of fair education and more
than ordinary ability, enlisted, in 1862,
in Grant County company. He had
previously been out in three-months'
regiment, and the knowledge of mill.
tary drill he had obtained was quite
valuable in green new company.
With all these advantages he counted
confidently and not without reason
upon promotion. But fate was against
him; nearly year passed by and he
was still private. Then he died, as
much probably from disappointed am
bition as any physical disease. But
fate did not cease to persecute him at
his death. Grant County erected q
monument inscribed with the names of
her dead soldiers, but his name is not
on it. By blunder Of the oopyist or
the sculptor, instead Of his name there
stands ~. w. Sargent" the change Of

ferent name,

separate Main.enance Of wives.

1t Is matter of common knowledge
that there are in every community great
numbers of such ill-matched marriages,
both parties to which are of excellent
character, who can neither live together
in peace and harmony nor yet agree
upon terms of separation. Public policy
demands that such couples be provided
with legal method of obtaining a sep
aration. and compelling husbands to
fulfill that part of the marriage con-
tract which relates to the wife's support.
Temporary separation nearly always
brings about reconciliation, if both
parties are not very unreasonable. I'M
relieved. such cases of unhappy mar
riages go on from bad to worse, until
one party commits some act upon which
divorce proceedings may be founded,
after which there is very seldom any
chance of renewed agreement Society
requires laws furthering the continu-
ance of marriages This law is impera-
tive in that it adds nothing to the ex-
listing divorce laws. Boston Traveller.

Spooner's Speecb.

Last Friday Senator Spooner made a
very able speech on the Presidents
message speech which does credit
to his state as well as to himself.
Mr.. Spooner took up the question
from legal point of view, and quoted
from the constitution and the Tenure
OF Office act to show that the power of
removal us we'll as of appointment is
In the President and Senate acting to-
gether. and that what is in his sole
discretion, absolute, is the power of
suspension during a recess of the Sen
ate. One source of much confusion in
this debate, Mr. Spooner said, was a
confounding. by the Democratic Sena-
tors, of suspensions with removals. A
suspension does not mean removal. II
is a very different thing. To suspend
an officer causes a temporary cessation
OF his functions; to remove causes a
permanent cessation. To suspend the
writ OF habeas corpus is one thing, to
obliterate it Is another and quite a
different thing. A suspended officer
Is not a removed officer; for if the
Senate refused to confirm his successor
the suspended man returned to office.
The supreme court has so decided.
He took up the Presidents phrase,
IA public office is public trust" and
said it never could have been intended
that the doctrine should apply every.
where except to the executive. 1t
could never have been intended tina,
the trustee of an express trust could, at
his will, make private and his own
property the evidence of his actions
IN the trust. and keep his cestui que
trust (the party for whose benefit the
trust is made) from all knowledge.
As to the Tenure of Office law, Mr.
Spooner criticised the Presidents ex-
preston ''innocuous desuetude. The
term always provoked a smile, Mr..
SpooneL said, but there was nothing to
smile at. This is government of
law, and he was sorry the
chief executive of the republic
should have used such words of any
law that stood on the statute books.
1t was dangerous time when the
President of the United States, with an
oath registered in Heaven, to 'take
care that the laws should be faithfully
executed" should send a message to
the Senate saying that statute has
fallen in harmless disuse, though the
statute remained Oh the books. If
there ever was a time when there was
need of respect for law it was now,
when in many states thoughtful men
were turning blanched faces to the fu-
ture. How could the people be ex-
pected to yield cheerful obedience to
the statutes when the first citizen of
the republic, himself charged with
their execution, was heard asserting
that a statute could harmlessly fall into
disuse? But Mr.. Spooner said the
President did not believe his own state
ment-his acts had been better than
words, for he had sent in large mum.
Der of nominations of men to take the
places of officers suspended by him I'M
der the authority of the very act to
which reference had been made.

which seemed to converge TO point in

Pixies Peak. Longs Peak doomed up
majestically. Farther south tho Green
horn Range stretched like low white
wall along the horizon, and at its south
ern end the Spanish Peaks stood like
vast buttresses.
After an hour or two OF impatient
waiting. we were glad to board the
train which bore US toward Santa Fe.
1t sped away and soon ahead and on
the right the glittering sierra of the
Sangre de Cristo Mo untains rose to
view. and later was seen on the left the
low range of the Ration Mountains, of
whose white mantle nothing remained
but shreds and patches. between which
showed the gray cliffs and brown slopes.
About five o'clock in the evening the
train swept into basin half surrounded
by high hills and stopped at the town
of Trinidad. twelve miles from the line
of New Mexico. The basin is formed
by the valley of the Purgatoire locally
called Picketwire) River debouching
from the seemingly countless ranges of
foothills into the vast plain.
The main street of Trinidad presented
quite the appearance OF Western
American city, with its gas lamps, n.y.
drants. and plate glass fronts; but with
these there were many Mexican char
acteristics, for tho plate glass fronts were
set into adobe buildings, and upon the
back streets most OF the buildings were
of the Mexican style, many of them be.
ing jGeals or novels with walls made of
sticks or small trunks placed upright
in the ground, chinked up and plastered
over with mud and rooted with earth.
The region was once the extreme north
eastern frontier Of Mexico. and it still
retains something Of its Mexican char
acteristics. although the American FROM
tier has far overlapped it to the south
west. A great portion of the people
upon the streets were Mexicans and the
Spanish language was everywhere
heard.
