1t is reported that Secretary Bayard en-
phasizes the fact that a section of the
United States revised statutes forhids any
citizen of the United States to hold com
munication with a foreign country, when
engaged in a controversy with our govern
ment, for the purpose of influencing the
action of that country. The gentlemen
threatened by Secretary Bayard are said
to be eX-Minis ter Foster and Congress
man Hit. Sec rotary Bayard holds that
they are each of them liable to fine of
$4,000 and Imprisonment for three years
But nobody has been prosecuted as yet
under this statute, and it is possible that
no one will be- right away.

Under the change in civil service rule
No. Q, which has been approved by Presi
dent Cleveland, applicants for appoint
ments must hereafter apply to the civil
service commission, and to the board of
examiners of the customs district or of
the postoffice where they live, if they wish
to enter either of these departments of
the public service. If this rule is honest
ly enforced, appointing officers will not
heuceforth be approached at all by appli-
cants. This would doubtless be an i'm
prov ement on the old rule. We shall
wait, however to see how it works in
practical application.

There is quite little row in Nincennes,
Ind, in consequence of the fact that
charges of offensive partisanship have
been forwarded to Postmaster-G General
Villas against Mr.. James Kackley, the
Democratic postmaster of that city. Seven
leading Democrats Endorsed the charges
with their signatures and they declare
that the administration must maintain its
position as set forth in Mr.. Cleveland's
recent utterances on this question. They
insist that the charges shall be thoroughly
investigated and a bona tide test case
made Of it, and good deal of curiosity is
expressed as to the outcome of the affair.

The "Yankton music hath charms tc
sesth tbs savage breast club" is the
name an instrumental organization OF
this CITY. 1t has taken upon itself, with
two flies and q wheezy banjo, the task
OF roaming around town and keeping
folks awake. We should think that the
club would change its name after the
reception large dogs gave them last
night. Mosquitoes and amateur seren-
aders are two visitstlons which come

John Mcdonald, special agent of the
Milwaukee road, had the governors

although it wa not nearly full there
was a good attendance, and C highly
Interesting meeting. The large choir
which sang at the congregational church
some time ago, was present and songs
with which everybody were acquainted
,wero rendered. Mr.. Bell is a first class,
hard sense, speaker, and there is moth
ing but reason and logic in his argu-
ments The community at large can
afford to listen to a speaker Of this class,
and he will no doubt be greeted with
large audiences. Meetings every even
ing at the rink. Everybody invited.
