The Mitchell Republican enters COM
plant, that whereas two years ago Mitch
ell made com bination with those north
erners who had at the previous legisla-
tive session taken the capital out of
south Dakota, said combination being
solidly constructed for the removal of
the United States court from Yankton to
Mitchell. That the combination was
unexpectedly broken by the seating of
two members of the council whom the
conspirators had counted out in their
arrangement and that the conspiracy
thereby failed. Whereupon the Mitch
elites announce the reconstruction of
the conspiracy of two years ago with the
conspirators who were at that time
beaten at their own game and ask that
they be now permitted to carry out
their original design.
This is case wherein an extreme
southern county goes to porthern allies
to effect delivery of goods which cam
not be secured upon the merits of their
claim. 1t is case wherein the repre-
sentstlves OF far away constituency are
employed to regulate the affairs of
judicial district in the south half
OF the territory, about which the north
ern members of the oonspiring combIna-
tion have no information or knowledge
and whose interests are OF no con-
Germ to them. The favor OF these north
ern allies is secured through bargain
which places the county of Dawson and
its representatives within the control Of
the northerners for the advancement of
all their individual or sectional schemes,
| INVOLVING even the opposition of the
north to southern statehood and includ-
ing pledge upon the part OF the ooun-
ty of Dawson to hold itself aloof from
all movements in the interest of aouth
Dakota. The prejudice of members
OF the northern combination against
Yankton because of its legal efforts tc
prevent the theft of capital is also
made use of by the disloyal conspirators
at Mitchell in their pursuit OF lonal
gaia. Mitchell, by its own acknowl-
edgement, places its dependence upol
the representatives of a region whicl
knows nothing of the wants and need,
of the southern Judicial district and ha
no care for any advantages the people o
this district may seek,
This question of a change in the locs
tion of the court of south Dakotl
raised by Mitchell, is one whic
in fairness should not be settled by th
J representatives of far away communitle
whofare unable to vote intelligently 0
J with unbiased minds upon the propos

1t is asserted by the Huron Huronite
that the constitutional convention: pos
sesses authority to repeal that clause in
the schedule and ordinance of the CON
stltution which prohibits the state
government from assuming its functions,
This conclusion is based upon the
proposition that the schedule and ordi-
nance do not form part of the consti-
tuition, but are only form through
which the constitution was submitted.
The Huronite asserts that Dakota's best
legal taleut has been engaged upon this
problem and has concluded that the con
vention can constitutionally repeal the
clause without submitting 1t to the peo-
pie. Letters from prominents parties
sustain this view and the Huronite gives
it as next thing to certainty that the
convention will next week repeal the re-
straining clause and fix date when Da.
kota will begin business as state.
This conclusion seems to have been
reached by that element of the constitu-
posed the proposition to proceed with
the statehood organization when it was
urged by what has been designated eas
the radical element of the convention.
Their conversion to the bold but en-
inently sound position occupied from the
beginning by General Campbell must
give to the radical idea large majority
| within the convention and if the Huron
ite is correct in its information south
Dakota will soon emerge from its terri
| torial condition ,ind announce itself to
| the nation as state within the union.
| The followers of General Campbell
will certainly fall into line with their
converted brethren of the conservative
stripe and take hold of the statehood
movement with ell the vigor which
earnestness can inspire. This large mi
nority has plead increasingly with the
majority to adopt its statehood method
and If the hour of their triumph is to
there to aid in the active preparations
for statehaad which mnss fo!!o@ the re-
peal OF the restraining clause.
The legislative and constitutional
organizations which are to convene at
Huron next week possess the power to
institute the state government of Da.
kota. They will be4t serve their con-
stItuents by proceeding, under the
authority vested withlp tbrm, to a full
consummation Of south DHkutae desires

THE OLD ROCK HOUSE.

We leave the old church with its memo
ries of other days. and make. our way to
another part of the city. Here in the
midst of the fashionable residence section
We visit the Allen mansion, long the home
of Edgar Allen Poe, and where he says he
spent his happiest days. The house is g
very large one, and is kept in very good
repair. 1t is typical Virginia residence
of ante bellum days, and no doubt in the
days of Mr.. Allen, Poe's guardian, it was
the scene of lavish hospitality The
place is enclosed by low brick fence
whish is fast falling to decay and soon the
house will follow, but the poems that were
written within its old fashioned rooms will
live as long as the English language is
spoken. But to many the most interesting
spot in stored Richmond is the beautiful
Hollywood Cemetery. Apart from the
natural beauty of the place, upon which
Dame Nature bestowed lavish hand, art
has been brought to its cid, and in the
Spring it is one of the lovaliest places
Imaginable. Still it is not its loneliness
alone that makes it great centre of attrac-
tios to the visitor in Richmond, but it is,
rather, the illustrious dead that rest be-
meath its fair face. Some of the greatest
men of America are buried here. Oae of
the first places the stranger wishes to see

in the seat where two of his ancestors have
sat before him. Grouped irregufarly around
these central figures, and situated in the
streets that intersect here, are the build
ings once occupied by the various depart
ments of the Confederate Government.
All of them are now used as hotels, schools
or stores, the Presidents house being occn-
pied by the Central Academy.
Passing down Main street toward the
river, walk of half mile, will bring one
to the lannon's Libby Prison, which was
used during the war as a central Office for
the registration of Federal prisoners des-
tined for Andersonyille, Belle Isle and
Castle Thunder. In this way, perhaps,
$4,000 meu crossed its threshold. 1t was
also used for the confinement of commits
stoned officers, and in February, 1864, Col.
Streight and 100 prisoners escaped by dig
ging tunnel under the walls to the river.
The building is in nowise different from
the dozen other houses around tan or

bellum days for the storage of tobacco,

is Presidents Hill, where lie buriad within
twenty feet of each other two Presidents of
the United States, James Munroe and John
Tyler. Over the grave of the former is a
large cast-iron monument, but the latter
has not even board to mark his last rest
ing place, not SO much as the pauper in
the Potters field. By his side is his daugh-
ter, who vas one of the first ladies to be
married in the White House. She was the
wife of Senator jackson. of Tennessee,
and died very young. Not far from the
graves of the two Presidents is that of
General A. F. Hill, whose name, by a
strange coincidence, was on the lips of both
Lee and Jackson when they died. Scat
tered about in various sections of the beau
tiful grounds are the last resting places of
John Randolph, of Roanoke; General J. E.
B. Stuart, Commodore M. F Maury, of the
United States Navy, known as the ssPath-
finder of the Seas;' James A. Sedden,
Confederate Minister of War; Governor
Henry A. Wise, and Generals Ashby,
Stevens and Picket, besides many others
whose names are a part of history.
In another portion of the cemetery is the
Confederate sectisn, where under the sod
slees II COO soldiers whiting the sound Of
the last revsiiie. In The centre of the army
of unknown and unrecorded dead rises
splendid monument, o pyramid of rough
Virginia granite, erected By the ladies of
the South. This grand tribute of cold, gray
stone is taking to itself the softening and
subduing rsantle of verdure. Up the four
steep sides of the stone the ivy is climbing
toward the summit. It will meet there on
the topmost pinnacle some day soon and
joining hands bend down in perpetual pity
the burial place of the nation. URder the
fair face of the Old Dominion sleeps many
a father, son or brother, from the East, the
North, the West and South, who went ont
10 do battle for their country The Blue
aud the Gray sleep side by side; the same
grass grows over all, the same wind
whispers to each, and there is peace.

THE OLD CAPITOL.

mask of this statue was taken ten years
before the death of the President, and was
the only one ever made. A copy of the
work is in the Capitol at Washington.
There is also in the hall marble statue of
Henry Clay, presented to Virginia by the
ladies of his adopted State. His birth
place, s'Ths Slashes," is still in good state
of preservation, and is only about eight
miles from the city. Besides the statues
in the rotunda of the building, there are
many valuable portraits of colonial and
revolutionary celebrities, as well as those
of later times. Most of these paintings are
original, and in many cases the only ones
in existence. There are, perhaps, the por-
traits of more great men hung on these
walls, who have made name in Am erican
history, than any other State can boast.
Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Tyler,
Harrison, Marshall, the Lees, Jackson,
Johnston, and host of others whose deeds
are the light of many page of history, are
here portrayed upon canvas IL life-like
presentiments.
The old Capitol has been the scene of
much that is memorable in the history of
Virginia and America. The old walls have
looked down upon Arnold. the traitor, and
his relocated troops; they have seen the
soldiers of 1912 and the Mexican war,
march from her gates. And in her legisla-
tive and senate halls palpitated the hearts
of the Confederacy. For it was here the
sessions of the Confederate Congress were
held. In the hall of the house of delegates
Aaron Burr was tried and acquitted on the
charge of treason, John Marshall being
Judge, and John Randolph, of Roanoke, the
foreman of the jury. Some distance in
front of the Capitol is, perhaps, the most
costly and magnificent group of bronze
statuary in this country Surrounding q
high, star-shaped base of Virginia granite
is Thomas Crawford's famous equestrian
statue of Washington, and around it on the
points of the star are statues of five Of
Virginia's most famous statesmen and sol
diers. They are Patrick Henry, the great
orator; Thomas Jefferson, "Pen of the
Revolution = Governor Thomas Nelson,
who fred at his own residence at Yorktown !;
Andrew Lewis, the distinguished Indian
fighter, and John Marshall, long Chief JUS
tice of the United States. On the other
side of the building is bronze statue of
Stonewall jackson, which was presented to
Virginia by an association of English gen
tlemen. No other American soldier has
been SO honored by the people of another
country. Adjoining the square is the Gov
ernors mansion, where sits Fitzhugh Lee

Around the corner and on the next block
from Libby Prison stands the old Rock
House. once Washington's headquarters,
and Where President Monroe boarded
when he attended school in Richmond.
1t is built of Rock, and is the oldest house
in the city, having been built over 200 years
ago-some time before the city was laid
out. Pass on to Smiths Hill, upon the
summit of which stands st. Johns Church,
one of the oldest and most historic houses
of worship in America. Its ivy-clad walls
have heard the fiery tones of the patriot in
citing his people to defence, as well as the
voice of the clergyman raised n exhortation
and prayer. 1t was in this building that
the Virginia Convention, led by Edmund
Randol 2h, Patrick Henry and Richard Lee,
took the first steps toward opposing the
mother country, and here it was that Henry
made his famous speech ending in the
memorable words, 81 care not what course
others may take, but as for me give me
Liberty or give me Death" Tbs situation
is sequestered one, far from the din and
rush of the city, and it is pleasant to sit
under the silent oaks, on the old tomb
stones, and dream of the stirring colonial
days. many of the actors in which lie
buried around you.
