The Church Plsn.


Mitchell Republican: An ingenious
correspondent of the st. Paul Globe
from Plankinton, gives the democratic
legislative scheme away IN the following
fashion. Speaking of the opposition to
Sullivan In Aurora he says:
It is believed that the mugwumps will
either contest the seats OF the delegation
chosen, or support a farmers or labor
ingmen'B candidste. Either plan means
certain victory for tho democratic iegis-
lative ticket in this county.
The gust OF the whole business lie In
the latter proposition. The democratic
plan to get 8 good working force IN the
next Legislature TO strengthen the grip
OF Gov. Church on she territory, ia to
foster d%issension in the republican ranks
wherever possible. 1t ia not too late
however, to cheokmate these plans by
perfectinR republican organisation in
every county in Dakota.
Devils Lake Inter Ooean: If Gov.
Church q get enough votes out Of the
farmers to control the next legislature,
he will again be able to dictate terms to
the law making body Of the territory.
Two years ago he succeeded in manipu-
iating the legislature So as to increase
his salary from the legal sum Of IS. 900 q
year to the illegal sum OF $4,000. That
was his first year as governor OF Dakota,
AS this is very likely to be his last yeas
he will doubtless raise it TO 800 900.

The New English R ne,

London Engineer: The following
particulars connected with the proposed
new magazine arm will doubtless be in-
teresting to many. The bore is 303 inch
diameter, giving about SO per cent more
rounds than the Martini Henry for the
same weight of ammunition. 1t has q
detachable magazine. Experiments with
the troops at Shornclife with the
Martini.R Henry with o rifle with q fixed
magazine, and also one with q detach-
able magazine, has shown that the last
has q great advantage, arising from the
circumstance that when q magazine lie
empty another filed magazine can be
put in its place in the came time that il
takes TO get q cartridge ont OF the pouch
and load with it. Thus che soldier is
able to keep his attention directed almost
wholly at the object at which he is firing,
so long as his supply OF magazines lasts.
La o fixed magazine the advantage Of
rapidity is confined to the number OF
rounds supplied by the single magazine.
When they are discharged the rifle is
SIMPLY q breechloader until 0 suitable
opportunity arises for recharglng
the magazine, unless some especial
charging gear is applied which
approaches in degree She conditions
OF q detachable magazine. One
magazine is attached by q chain to the
rifle. 30 as to secure it's retention. Sub.
sequent magazines may be discharged
and thrown away, II necessary, in the
full heat OF action; for in the continued
use of magazines we are contemplating
time OF supreme stress and Importance.
The attached magazine contains eight
rounds. those subsequently used six
rounds each. At present the infantry
soldier will carry one or two spare
magazines; thus, with the 1rst one, he
is furnished with a reserve OF fourteen
or twenty rounds for rapid discharge,
according to whether he hes one or two
spare magazines. Cavalry and mounted
infantry could carry bsndoliers with
eight or ten detachable magazines
Sergeant Beckwith, of the tenth huzzsrs

GRADING STREETS.

aHsE- ---A- 7a a..F aH.4Hl
AN Important. Subject Which Was
Warmly Discussed In the City Coun-
Gil.
AT last Monday nights meeting OF the
city council o question Of grading came
up for discussion and the result OF this
discussion, which in all probability is
not yet settled, will be of considerable
moment to the city, as it Will determine
to a certain degree the policy the city
government will adopt in its street i'm
pro7ements.
The question under consideration in
the council was, shall Pine street, from
Eight to Eleventh streets, which portion
lies on college hill, be graded at the ex-
pense Of property owners along the
street, or at the expense OF the city .
Monday night Alderman Scougal, of
the 4th; ward, who lives on college
hill and hey ond that portion which
needs grading, opened the discussion by
streets and alleys be instructed to adj
yertise for bids for grading the street,
according to plans already prepared by
the city engineer. Previous to this mo-
ton, the supplementary portion of the
city t%reasnrer's July report, which ap-
peared in print On Tuesday. had been
read by the clerk and the councll had
heard with much attention the state.
ment OF the city's liabilities. When the
motion Yves made by Alderman Scougsl,
Alderman Branch asked where the
money was to come from and
said that the grading would
have to be done at the expense
of property owners. Alderman
Socugal then offered an argument, which
treated as unfair the proposition that
the property owners should ray for the
grading. He said the city ought to
grade its streets. They were for public
use and in all other instances that grad.
ing of streets had been paid for by the
city. He then gave his reasons for want.
ing the Pine street grading done at once
and OF the eity's expense. He said first
that everybody knew how badly the
grading was needed. At present,
every time it rains, water a foot deep
covers the street for o distance OF 800
feet. and people who live beyond are
obliged to 60 around. Then, too, the
douglas avenue crossing is dangerous,
on account ot!passlng of trains. Further,
the residents of college paid taxes
for the support of water works, police
and fire organizations and city lighting,
but Of none of these luxaries do they
get the slightest benefit. Mr.. Scougal
treated the idea of property owners pay
ing for the grading, as being unfair and
unjust and it is a fact that his argument
went entirely unanswered.

A practical sort OF a man, talking lest
night, said Yenkton could readily sell
all the brick it could manufacture and
that the product recommended itselI
and the business needed no drumming,
This is because Yankton brick clay is oil
q superior quality, while good brick clay
is a scarce article in this part Of the west
The practical man argaed from the facts
presented that Yankton should invest
capital in brick making. The result was
certain and the investment would give
employment to laboring men. Brick
are in as great demand as quarry stone
and as hard to get in this section. The
Sioux Falls quarries employ a thousand
hands. Why might not the brick yards
of Yankton give work to as many ? Ey8-y
section must thrive from its natural re-
sources. We have no quarry stone. We
haye brick clay, pottery clay, cement
clay. A combination between labor and
capital could be made to utilize these
crude materials. We have also water
| power to turn the wheels.
