YORK TOWNSHIP RETURNS.

The County Commissioners met Mon
day as canvassing board TO canvass the
vote of Nov. 9th. Their report gives
Mathews II and Harden IS in York town
ship. 1887. The private report of the
PRESS, received OF the night Of election.
gave the figures just reversed Mathews
As and Harden H. We believe cur report
to be correct, because delegate Clifford
carried the township in 1884 by IL majority
and in 1876 by % majority. By this error
delegate elect Mathews has only il9 ma
jority in the county, when we believe he
should have IT'S. But the greatest differ
ence will be in the Republican apportion-
ment to York township. Ii the figures re-
main York township Republicans will
have to abide by the unjust appogtionment
on II votes when they should have As.
LArrR-we called the County Clerks
attention to the above and an examination
ot the returns from 9ork township shows

We think the journal owes the PRESS
a credit for the election returns published
in that paper last week, rs there was evil
dently no source through which they
could be obtained at that time except the
PRESS The only figures published in
the county the week of election..were those
given in the PRESS, made up from our
private returns L: may not he a matter
of great consequence, yet all newspapers
have IA natural pride in making scoop"
on the rest Of the BOYS.

Gov. Church, who has just returned
from the east, says the Democrats will
probably admit Dakota thls winter. He
says further the people of Dakota are in
favor of division, but his party may not
consider the wishes of Dakota people, and
insist upon admission as whole II
such an attempt Is made by the Democrat
virtue, and the people of both North and
South Dakota would probably decline the
offer. The question has got to such a
point now that it must be either two
Dakotas or none.

MORE REPUBLICAN STATES,

The Democrats will leave no stone un-
turned to retain majority IN the House
Of Representatives, because all branches
of the government once in possession of the
Republicans, means dtath to the Demo.
cratic party Two Dakotas, Montana,
Idaho and Washington territories are Re-
publican, and entitled to admission as
states, whicE will most certainly be ac.
complished under Republican rule. The
Republicans would then have five more
states to add to their strength, with no
corresponding increase for the Democrats.

THE CONSTITUTION.

The Sioux Falls constitution, framed
two years ago for the state of South Da-

for use now. Some few changes would
have to be made, but that could be done
at any time The principal consideration
is tc get into statehood without the tedi-
Gus delay Of an ennab,ing act.

 licans-There May Re Contest over
 the Election Of Their PTesfdeng-The
 Cadets Want Leader Who VIII Be
 Likely to Allow she Rooms Go be Kept
 open Sundays.
 The Young Mems Republican club will hold its annual meeting on Thursday of next week. Officers will be elected and reports made. At the last meeting 8 nominating committee was appointed to present the names of the officers, and rule was also passed that the name of no one holding pub- lie office should be presented.
 It is whispered that the meeting will be 8 lively one. The cadets are represented on the nominating committee by ones who have just graduated from cadetships, and it is quite likely that the name of 8 person who fayors keeping the rooms of the club open on Sundays for the benefit of the cadets will be put forward by this committee for presi- dent.
 The older members of the club are opposed to the rooms being open on Sundays, and on this issue will be waged the contest for the presidency of the club.

 The December term of the criminal court eide of the Supreme court was opened yes- terday afternoon in Hartford. The grand jury was sworn and listened to a brief ad /. dress from Judge Terrence
 It looks as though the case of Phoenix na- tional bank against E. L. Wheeler, of this city, would not be tried at this term of the court ss 1t has been set down.
 The trouble is that it will be difficult to se- cure a judge to preside for 8 term long enough. Judge Stoddard's resignation coup led with the illness of Judge Sanford in this city, leaves the Superior court bench very much crippled and the December term of the court to be held in Hartford came very near being passed by altogether because there was no one obtainable to sit upon the bench. Judge Carpenter promised to be on hand but for some reason did not appear, and arrange nents were finally made so that Judge Tor rance could preside for short term
 The case if not tried at this term will 20 over until the spring term of the court.

OBITUARY.
Death of Sister FIdeIIs at St. Francis
 Orphan Asylum.

Death of Sister FIdeIIs at St. Francis Orphan Asylum.
 Sister Mary Fidelis, of the St. Francis orphan asylum, died yesterday. Her deatI
 will cause special mourning in every convent in the State. for being well known she wal
 beloved and respected for her numerous good traits of character.
 The deceased had been teacher of music
 at the mother house of the order in the State, Mt. St. Joseph's convent at Hartford. She was but twenty-tw years of age, and was
 the daughter of Richard L. Neville, the dramatic editor of the New York World. Her name before becoming religious was Flor ence Estelle Neville.
 She was born in New York. Her mother died when she was very young. Miss Neville was educated at Bayview seminary Proyia dence, R. I. Even there her musical talent
 was remarkable. After her graduation in 1880, she studied music under s. B. Mills.
 the well known teacher and composer of New York. Although she was but twenty-two
 years old, her musical ability attracted the
 attention of prominent musicians She
 numbered among her special friends Mary
 Anderson and Blanche Roosevelt.
 The life of this world had no attraction for her and in 1882 she entered the novitiate of the order of the Sisters of Mercy in Hart ford, under the then Rev. Mother Agnes, and pronounced her VOWS in 1885. She taught music at Mt. St. Joseph's until last August. when she came to the asylum in this city for change of air and short rest.

 About her bedside during her last mo- ments were her father and her sister, Rev. Mother Rowe, the present superioress of the order, Rev. Mother Agnes, Rev Mother DoI- . cousin to the deceased. Sister Fidelis pre- served her intelligence and cheerfulness to the end. Her blending of piety with pecu- liar blitheness of spirit had ever drawn to her she love of both her superiors and her pupils The funeral will take place from St. Mary's church at 10 o'clock to morrow morning.

 Now that the football championship has been decided the attention of those interested in college athletics is naturally turned to- ward next seasons university base ball team. Captain Moves has already begun work. All candidates for the nine met last night at 12O North college. There was an unusually large number, showing that there are many who think themselves capable of making up Ya1e's winning team next season.
 The candidates will begin practicing in the cage Immediately after the holidays, and this will show Captain Moves who are the best ones to eventually select. There will, of course, be wedding out process as the cam didates continue to practice, and by spring $ large number of those whose names were last night put on the roll will be dropped.
 There seems to be a strong feeling that Staep will pitch, notwithstanding that he has said he is done with ball playing. His nearest friends think, and do not hesitate to nay that if his help is needed to win the ehampionship he will not be missing
 DaizeIl will probably pitch at tho beginning of the season, and if he does well and is hard to hit Stagg will not be called upon.
