managed to elect two more bishops to-day,
completing the list. DR.. Newman was
chosen in the fourteenth ballot and DR.. D.

the Metropolitan church in Washington.
DR.. Newman is about 90 years of age and
an American by birth. He was at one
time chaplain of the United States senate

LEGISLATIVE FREAK.

1t is a matter of universal surprise
that the foremost state of the Union in
wealth, population and intelligence
should be so far Influenced by the spirit
which governed the dark ages as to at
tempt state censorship of the press.
Yet that is what the New York legisla-
ture did when it passed the law substi-
tuting electricity for the gallowS. in
which there is provision prohibiting
the newspapers from publishing the de-
tails of an execution. The New York
state authorities may possibly prevent
newspaper representatives from wit
Messing an execution, but there isn't
power enough between Hades and Con-
naught to keep live, active newspaper,
such as they publish in New York, from
getting the details all right enough
and printing them in full. The editors
of the state have resolved to disregard
the law because they know it to be UNI
constitutional and absolutely without
binding force. The conscience of an
American citizen cannot be strained by
disregarding 4 statute which Smacks so
thoroughly of the barbaric ages as this
one. If the time ever comes when the
state can succeed in establishing CEN
sorShip over the press, then constitu-
tional government will be failure, and
liberty will only exist in name.

BLAINE AND ALGER.

The quid nuncs are in the soup be-
cause Gov. ALGER and Mr.. BLAINE
have been hobnobbing together private
ly. The Michigan man went down to
Maine; and when the Maine man, who
was off on a visit, heard of the coming
of the Michigan man, he HE'D himself
home in double quick time. And then
the Maine man and the Michigan man
went into private parlor at Augusta,
locked the door and stuffed the keyhole,
and there they stayed together all day.
Certain wise ones say that ALGER was
the bearer of message from HARRISON
rendering BLAINE the state portfolio,
and that he had to wrestle a
whole day with BLAINE to obtain
his consent to go into the cabinet.
Others who profess to be still wiser
that he was to be shut out of the cab
met, and that the meeting between him
self and ALGER was in the nature of a
conspiracy to do up the HARRISON adj
ministration. ALGER has barrel and
longings for the presidential Office. His
ambition is to succeed HARRISON, and
he would like to do it in four years from
now. With Mr.. BLAINE's aid he could
make it impossible for HARRISON to
succeed himself. Thus the wiseacres
reason that the Augusta conference had
for its object the supplanting of HAIR
RIsoN by the Michigan lumber king.
We are inclined to think, however,
when the secret comes out, it will be
discovered that BLAINE and ALGER are
thinking more of business than politics.
BLAINE needs money, and ALGER is
putting him on plan to make it.

AS Mr.. SPRINGER amendment, pro-
viding for vote of the Dakota people
on the division question, stipulates that
it shall be taken at the same time that
delegates are elected to constitutional
convention, the apprehended delay is
averted, and there seems no particular
objection to the provision. 1t would be
the most favorable opportunity for an
unbiased expression. OF course there is
no doubt as to public sentiment now,
but the ballot box under national au-

A Former Agent of the Treasury
Department Takes No Stock in
the Reported Outrages in


WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-H. L. Gig
don, an agent of the treasury depart
ment at the seal islands of st. Paul and
st. George from 1882 to 1885. was called
to-eay as witness by the house COM
mittee on the merchant marine and fish
cries, investigating the alleged out
RACES and restraint of liberty in Alaska.
The witness said he had read the charge
of outrage, ETC., published in the news
papers recently. but he said that he did
not think there was any truth in them.
His headquarters, while absent, were on
St.Paul island. and he visited st. George
once year. He had never heard of any
case of criminal assault on the islands,
and no complaints of seduction of fe-
males reached him. If there had been
any complaints to make he would have
heard of them. as the people looked
upon him as their protector. Witness
said the men employed OH the island by
the Alaska company were kind to the
natives, and their presence there tended
to elevate and civiIize the people. On
cross examination, by the attorney for
the Alaska company, the witness said
that he had never had any connection
with the Alaska company; also, that
while he was agent, that his authority
as such was neverresisted by the agents
of the company. This closed the in
yestigation for the present, and the
committee adjourned until Jan. z, at
which time the other witnesses who
have been subp9nad by the committe
are expected to be present.

DAYS, because he refused to pay him

while engaged on such expeditions.
While travelling with Americans, he
says, Azogue approached him and de-

American government, This was re-
fused, when charges, tissue of lies,
were preferred against him, and he was
thrown into the Jail at Fee. He
