SULLIVAN AND DORIS.
Circus Man John l.. Will Be Here Next

Circus Man John L. Will Be Here Next
 Thursday.
 The Sunday World says of the Sullivan and Doris circus A large audience greeted the first appearance of John L. as cirdls man, and the show was voted complete success. MT Doris has worked indefati- gab1y in getting the circus together, and the circus itself, without the champion pugilist as the principal feature, is made up of very high class performers. Among them may be mentioned the noted bare back equestrien Robert Stickney; the female rider, Ella Stokes; Dunbar and Vernam, trapeze artists; Francois Keneble, the clown; the three wonderful French acrobats, the Mauvels, and Parker's troupe of trained dogs. John L. made his first appearance in the ring in full dress, when he put the $2O,000 trick ponies through their act. When the champion appeared to wind up the performance with three round glove contest with Jack Ashton he received a great ovation. Sulli- van looked in the pink of condition, and he and Ashton gave 8 rattling boxing match. Everything about the show, from canvas to tent pins, is spick-span new, and cost the proprietors $15,00O as it stands. Sullivan said that he was going to settle right down to business, and nonsensical challenges to hght would not De needed by him; until the season ended at least. If by that time any one wants to fight for big stake he would accommodate them. A number of Sullivan's friends were present to see him embark in his new business, among them being George Primrose, of Tacher, Primrose & Vests ministrels, whose guest Sullivan was at Primrose's country house, in Mount Vernon. Billy Madden was spectator, but no words were exchanged between him and Sullivan. Treasurer Barrett, who was Sullivans umpire in his mill with Mitchell, has the shoes that the Boston boy wore in the fight. They are punctured with numerous holes, made by the spikes of Mitchell's shoes, who tried to cripple Sullivan with them. Barrett said that Sullivan won the fight three times, but they could not get it. Once, he said Mitchell lay on the ground ffty-five sec onds.
 Sullivan is prominently billed in the circus, one large poster showing him off tc splendid advantage. He is smooth-shaven and weighs about two hundred and ter pounds. It is thought by every one that Sullivan's venture will be a financial sue cess. The veteran press agent, Colone John J. Foster is on deck.

Some of the things we do for the improvement of Trade; keep only First Class Pianos and Or gans, known everywhere as Standard Goods. We sell them at the lowest possible prices and most favorable terms. Weber, Shoninger, Emerson & Wheelock are our leaders any one of which will in every way give satisfaction and prove source of joy in any family. Among the things we do not do is this: Never annoy people, who are not ready to buy, or lie about our neighbors goods, but are willing to accord all fair valuation in the market Neitherdo we run after customer who has purchased Uf other agents, trying to make them dissatisfied, and are yet liberal enough not to d" all the Business. No Miniature Pianos carried in our pockets or Tuning Ham, mers thrown in. We prefer the principle of every farmer to his milk cans, and mechanic to. his trade and have yet friendly. feel manage our own business honestly, fairly and le- ultimately; pay dollar for dollar promptly; fur nish our own Bank Vaults for Leases taken from !nstallment Customers without the aid of Sher- ifs to collect on the same Thirty years standing before the people as a Company, is sufficient guarantee of our stability.

As Exemplified by HI. c. Baldwin to Meet
 in Hartford Fourth of July.
 H. c. Baldwin of Naugatuck, member of the national committee of the union labor party, has issued call for con ference and mass convention to be held at Hartford at 12 m. July 4, for the purpose of appointing state officers and presiden- tial electors if deemed best. and for the transaction of any other business proper to come before the meeting. All land and labor clubs are requested to send delegates and independent voters in general of the state are invited to be present.
 The call is addressed to ''all who are dis satisfied with existing economic conditions and who recognize the necessity of inde- pendent political action in the approaching national and state elections, that protest may be entered against the methods and machinations of the two so-called great political parties in the interest of monopoly and vested wrongs, and with view to unite the now scattered forces and eff forts of reformers all aiming at the same common end. 7

About o'clock last evening, an old man who had been quietly sitting on bench in the park in Hartford opposite the pond, suddenly jumped up and threw himself in to the water. He foundered about for moment and then crawled out again. He refused to give his name or the reason for his strange conduct.

tions, to which no attention is ever paid,
SO their impotence renders them harm
less.
Governor Church has just filed with
the secretary of the interior the annual
remarks relative to Dakota. In il he
asserts that our territory contains 640,-
COO people and is entitled to Statehood
the same remark he made year ago.
As the party to which the governor and
the secretary of the interior belong ls
the only impeachment to statehood for
Dakota, 1t sounds as though Governor
Church was sarcastically inclined in
burdening his state document with q
recommendation he knows full we'll his
party will trample ander foot. There
are two other recommendations in this
message which will attract attention
He suggests that provision be made for
special sessions of the Legislature and
that his veto power be enlarged so that
he can veto parts of bills without de-
stroying the balance. Upon these two
points the people will differ with Gov
overnor Church. They are pretty un-
animous In the opinion that we nov
have too many Legislative sessions and
that the governor should be deprived of
the veto privileges slr lady possessed by
him. They have reached the latter be-
lief since Church became governor.
The report is largely statistical and the
figures are not new, being compilation
OF current information. II will pass
down to posterity in the archives OF the
interior department and the future
historian who looks it over will wonder
| why 30 vast realm and 80 numerous a
people were denied the privileges of
self government.

few days ago. He regards the laws of
Dakota as surprisingly good considering
the rapid growth of the territory. he
thinks the number of subordinate Off
GERS allowed each branch of the terrific
rial Legislature too small. and the
amount allowed for public printing,
$3.50, inadequate for the needs of the
territory. Regarding the veto power
the governor says:
THE matter OF providing for the
maintenance of our various territorial
institutions and offices, and general ex-
penses OF the territorial government and
the passage sc times OF excessive or
unnecessary appropriations, and the
habit OF tscking on proper apprepria-
tions unnecessary and excessive items,
commonly called riders, suggest the
propriety OF the passage by congress of
such law as would enable the governor
to veto items OF appropriation in bills,
and approving such as are unobjection-
able"
The report then takes up the snbject
of the national guard OF the territory
and says that no muster was held this
year owing to disinclination to exceed
the appropriation.
teresta of the territory require that q
special session OF the Legislature be pro.
vided for, permission being first obtained
from the president. As the law now
stands no special or additional session
OF the legislature can be held in Dakota
there being no provision therefor, and
In case OF emergency making special
session desirable, great detrlment to the
interest as the territory might sriss by
want OF such provision.
~ would quote from my last report
regarding the alien land law, lately
passed by congress.
s'While 1t prohibits aliens from ac-
quiring great and extensive tracts oi
land it also prevents our people from
receiving the benefit of foreign capital
seeking Investment on land. ="
In conclusion the report takes ny the
important matter of statehood. These
are the governors views as quoted
in his report for 1887:
1.-THE wealth OF our territory and hel
vest resources, the number of our peo.
pie, their education and culture, honesty
of purpose, patriotic intent, unex.
empled energy and industry entitie them
to some recognition from the states o.
the union, and to that reward the ma.
tion should confer without hesitation
for the unsurpassed development OF he
territory Dakota's people have wrought
and, whether admitted as on,
or two states, there are many reason.
why the people should not be longer do
prived of the right to manage their owr
| affairs. The character of Legislation
necessary to the advancement and Gieve.
lopment of our territory and the vel
being and happiness of 100000 people
cannot be obtained through the medium
of congress, the members OF which are
far distant from the people whose in
terest they have in charge. and WHIT
necessarily cannot be familiar with tht
wants of their many existing and rapid
/ ly growing needs, which can only b,
secured through the means Of a direc
responsibility of the governing powe
to those interests they have in charge
which means are self-governmen
through statehood. I am, very respect
fully. Louis X. CHURoH,

On the 25th OF September the senate
adopted resolution calling upon the
president for copies of the late cores
pondence which passed between the de-
partment of state and Minister DENLY
regarding the ratification OF the Chinese
immigration treaty which was rejected
by the Celestial empire after the passage
by congress OF the anti Chinese immi-
grafton bill and before it reached the
president. The object OF the resolution
was to ascertain what passed between
the department AMI our minister in
China, which extrieated the president
from an embarrassing predicament by
securing rejection of the treaty. It is
believed that the rejection was forced
by our minister. Up to this time the
president has ignored the senate's reso.
luton and it is stated that he intends tc
continue to ignore the resolution until
after the election at least. The presi-
dents silence on the subject is sregarded
as ominous.

Responsibility for the repeal of the
law for the punishment OF usury must
be largely shared by the farmers of Da-
kota, the record showing that in the
house Speaker Crose, farmer, and the
following farmer members voted for
such repeal: Burnham, Dodds, Elliott,
Ely Fletcher, Glendenning, Rarkins,
Hawk Hubbard. Mallory, Mcdonnell,
Miltimore, Moore, Sprague, Stewart.
Terrill, Ward, Wise and Wolzmuth
Three other farmers, Blake, Cook, and
Wyman, were excused from voting,
This appeal to che record is made be-
cause the farmers OF Dakota demand OF
the next legislature the re.enaotment OF
the penal clause in the usury law and
demand it IN such way as to convey the
impression that this law clause stricken
from the statutes at the instance OF
those who oppose the interests OF the
farmer GLASS. Under these eIrcumstan-
ces ID is right that the responsibility be
defined, not for the purpose of creating
or sustaining class prejudiees, but rather
for the opposite purpose, There is nc
disposition upon the part OF any element
OF onr population to =injure by legisla-
tire the agricultural classes within cui
territory and all efforts to prove that
such is the case are the efforts of dem
agogues seeking self interest under the
guise OF friendship for the farmer. II il
true, as shown by the record, that tn,
farmers are largely responsible for tn,
reresl OF the usury punishment law
ALI other elements in eur legislative de-
partment will be willing to help tn
farmer restore the law.

The Minneapolis Journal prints
crop report, made up OF Information
from all points In Minnesota and Dako-
ia, which is evidently OF more value
than tho reports put forth by the par
tisan ststisticians of the general govern.
ment The total wheat yield in Minne-
sofa and Dakota for the current year is
placed at seventy million bushels,
agaipst one hundred million bushels last
year. or this total Dakota has raised
forty million bushels and Minnesota
thirty million bushels. Lest year Dakota
raised sixty million bushels and Mime
sota forty million bushels. The product
for this year in the territory and in the
state will bring in the aggregate more
money than last year. because Of the in
crease in price. The partial failure of
wheat for the current year will affect
localities. The region exposed to August
frost will be the sufferer, while the re-
gion below the August frost line will be
pecuniarily benefited by the calamity
which fell upon their more northern
neighbois The Minneapolis paper
reaches these conclusions:
Dakota has certainly touched the high
water mark in wheat production and
from now on its wheat yield will range
in the vicinity of ~ 100000 bushels. In
1856 the crop was 80, ,704 900 bushels. In
1884 and 1885 there We're nearly 10000, coo
acres OF government land entered end
almost every settler proceeded at once
to grow wheat, and es result the wheat
crop of 1887 was increased to over co.
600 900 bushels. and now in 1888 felis
back 70 below 40.0O0,000. In 1860 Da-
kota produced 945 bushels OF wheat; IN
1870, ITO, ,662; in 1880, 1850 1889; in 1885.
'38, ,166 Alb, end in 1887, according to the
commissioner OF statistics, 1859 .499.
It does not follow because Dakota hes
this year gone back to forty million
bushels of wheat that this figure is for
ever to remain the maximum OF its pro-
duct. The returns OF last season show that
it can, without frost in it's northern lati-
tudes, raise sixty million bushels. 1t is
not to be expected that every season will
bring freezing weather at the critical
period in the gsowth of the crop. Ex-
perience proves the contrary proves
that in four years out of five extreme
northern wheat fields escape frost viai-
tations. There is vast area OF yet un-
developed Dakota wheat land which will
some day add its yield to that OF the
farms already under cultivation. The
future yield Of wheat in Dakota will be
nearer hundred million bushels ann o.
ally than forty million bushels.
