HON. EDMuND RICE.

When an upright man has lived out
his lease of life, and yielded his spirit
to Him who gave it, it is meet that we
should pause to receive the lesson thus
taught, and unite in paying tribute to
his virtues.
If there ever was an honest man, Ed
MUND RICE was one. If there ever was
an unselfish citizen who cheerfu]ly su-
bordinated private interests to the pub
lie good, Mr.. RICE was the man. His
integrity, consistency and devotion to
what ne considered correct principles
won for him the respect of all men. 1t
was impossible that man of his genial
nature and high character should fail to
impress his individuality upon the COM
munity in which he lived.
Mr.. RICE was one of the pioneers of
this city and state. He had not only
witnessed the rapid growth of the COM
munity, but he had been active in pro-
noting that growth. He was our pio-
neer railroad builder, and it is to his eff
forts, perhaps. more than any other sim
gle Individual, we are indebted for that
magnificent railroad system which is
the pride of the Northwest, and which
has been such valuable contributor to
our material advancement. In ways
without number he aided in promoting
other enterprises which redOunded to
the welfare of the city and the state he
loved so well; for there never was a
time when his services were not cheer
fully rendered when there was chance
to benefit the community.
He was all unaffected and unostenta-
tiouS man. who asked no other reward
for his public services than the con-
sciousness of doing good. Therefore,
he was never an Office seeker, nor
greedy to become rich. His whole life
was one of honest dealing and unSelfish
patriotism. The few political offices
that he held were not of his own seek
the man and as evidence of the high
esteem in which he was held by the
people among whom he had lived, and
for whom he had labored. His career
is now ended, and there is not person
in the state of Minnesota but will will
lngly testify to his strict personal in
tegrlty and purity of character. AS a
citizen he was patriotic and useful, as
business man and public official up
right and faithful, and in every scene
of the drama of life the unpretending
Christian gentleman.
EDMUND RICE's virtues are deeply
impressed upon the hearts of those who
knew him best, and long and tenderly
will his memory be cherished by the
community in which he lived.
sTo live In the hearts we leave behind
is not to die"

WHO DID 1T?

If the impressions recently derived
from an observer of the generous tillage
in the field of North Dakota politics
are correct, gratitude should be an in
fiuential factor in popular results and
misapprehensIons should be rectifed.
The theory that Congressman SPRING
Err, Cox or other high influences at
Washington had any important function
in the way of mediation or composing
the obstacles that stood in the way of
admission, is found to be an error,
except so far as they were the agents to
carry out the suggestions coming to
them. As it is now explained in Dak-
ota "a grand old man" did all the
devising and formulating that led to the
benificent results. The labor was vol
untary, unrequited and philanthropic.
Republics may be ungrateful, but the
indications are that the people recog-
nize their benefactors and will not wait
for the monument period before allow
ing their gratitude to materia)ize.

CAUSED A WILD wRANGLE.
The Committee on Apportion-
ment Stirs Up the Olympia
Convention.

Convention.
Special to the Globe.
OLYMPIA, w. T., July 1.-THE COM
mittee on apportionment and repre-
sentation made Its report to the cOnven-
tion to-day, favoring legislative men,
bership of only about one hundred,
namely. 70 in the house of representa-
tives and 35 in the senate. AS might
be expected, this report stirred up a
wild wrangie. The matter was
widely discussed in the committee of
the whole, and the convention got
mixed up so badly on conflicting mo-
tions that when the committee arose
it had no report, and the status of the
legislative proposition is not known.
The report of the representation COM
mittee will probably be presented
and taken up again tomorrow.
The convention will adopt the system
of judiciary now in vogue in California.
1t comprises supreme court, superior
court and inferior courts per-
forming police and petty functions.
The Superior court will be court of
record, and will combine the provinces
of the present district and probate
courts. There will be seventeen judges
altogether, two each III KING, Pierce
and Spokane counties. and one in
Kititas. WalIa Walla and White
man and others in districts
made up of the remainder of counties.
The supreme court will consist of three
or five judges, whose terms shall be six
years each. To-day was taken up in
hearing propositions for clauses to
the constitution. Preamble and bill
Of rights were introduced by Weir
of Port Townsend. The innovation
proposed in bill of rights is that grand

South Dakotans Petition the

Entries UnOn School Lands.

South Dakotans Petition the
President to Suspend Mineral
Entries Upon School Lands.
SIOUX FALLS, Oak, July 1.-THE
eighth day session of the South Dakota
by another spirited debate. 1t had been
proposed to memorable the president to
suspend mineral entries upon school
lands near large cities in agricultural
districts until the state is organized and
can defend its rights thereto, III case
such entries are attempted, to obtain
such land fraudulently. Strong opposi-
ton was offered, on the ground that the
ordinary operation of the law is suf-
ficient to prevent such fraud, and that
to ask the president to suspend an en-
tire class of entries was equivalent to
petitiOning him to do the same thing
that resulted in so much criticism of
ther opposed on the ground that even
if parties obtained possession of school
lands under cover of mineral land laws,
and such lands shall prove non-mineral,
the title thereof could ultimately revert
to the public, and thereof no loss be
sustained. Despite these considera-
tiOns, however, the memorial was adOp-
ted by vote of 80 to %. All opposition
to the reference of every part of the
constitution of 1885 to appropriate COM
mitteeS was withdrawn nOtWithStand-
ing the strong objections of the day
previous. There is no intention of
going outside the strict limitations of
the enabling act. 1t was generally ex-
pected that this matter would result in
protraeted debate. An examination
of the enrolled copy of the old
constitution shows a large num-
Der of errors in construc-
ton and punctuation. These will be
corrected, and the document has been
referred to committee for that pur-
pose. A petition was received from the
Methodist Ministers Association of
Southeastern Dakota asking the con-
vention to provide safeguards for hon
est elections In the constitution, and
also that the vote on state offices and
temporary location of the state capitol
be taken at different time than that of
the constitution, when every effort will
be made to guarantee an honest cleo
ton. 1t is not likely more than one will
be ordered. The work of the conven-
ton shows that, while large majority
of the members are new and without
reputation in public affairs, the readi-
ness and breadth of considerable pOr-
ton makes the body average very high.
The proceedings are characterized by
tone which is certainly very creditable
to the convention and commonwealth.

marriage of Benjamin Sheffield to Miss
Carrie CroSSett and Alison Blodgett to
Miss Fannie Sheffield. The cathedral
had been beautifully decorated by the
lady friends of the brides with cut
flowers and potted plants, arranged
with that artistic skill which made
them appear as though they were fix
lures placed there by the cunning hand
OF Nature to gladden. the hearts of that
happy gathering. Miss Fanny Sheffield
is the only daughter of Hon. M. B.
Sheffield, and Miss Carrie Crossett is
the daughter of Hon. FL. n. Crossett, all

M. B. Sheffield, and Alison Blodgett is
a son of Hon. A. Blodgett. of this city.

tuck school, and are actively engaged
in business in the city. The ceremonies
were solemnized by Rev. James Dob
bin, assisted by Rev. Edwin c. Bill.
Mrs. II. E. Whitney presided at the Or
gan. The brides wore travelling suits
of delicate tan, with hats and gloves
to match. At the close of the ceremo-
MES Rt. Rev. Fl. B. Whipple pronounced
the benediction, and Mr.. and Mrs. Shelf
field and Mr.. and Mrs. Blodgett pro-
ceeded directly to the depot and started

BlOdgett will go direct to Europe,
where they will travel for number of
months, viewing the sights of the Old
World. All the parties will eventually
return to Faribault, which will be their
home. Never in the history of the city
has there been such a display of ele-
CANT and costly presents as were re-
ceived by the happy quartette. The
ushers at the cathedral were Messrs.

ONLY ONE TRUE LINE.
The Squabble Over Seventh
Standard Parallels Amounts to

Standard Parallels Amounts to
Nothing.
Special to the Globe.
YANKToN, OAK, July 1.-THE South
Dakota constitutional convention is dis
cussing the advisability of appointing a
committee to act with like committee
of the North Dakota constitutional con-
vention to decide which of the two sew
entb standard parallels shall be selected
as the boundary line between the states
of North and South Dakota. 1t is stated
that within the limits of the Sisseton
reservation there are laid down two sew
enth standard parallels; that this condi-
tion is liable to create confusion and
trouble. The seventh standard par
allel, as far as perfected, was run by
Yankton surveyors. Carl G. P. Meyer
had the first contract to produce the
seventh standard eastward from the
Minnesota boundary through the Sis
seton reservation. Mr.. Meyer made
blunder in his calculations through in
definite figures furnished by the sur
veyor general of Minnesota, and located
the seventh standard parallel two miles
south of its proper position. After
wards Meyers survey was ignored,
and M Il. Wooley and c. ii. Bates
went into the field and corrected his
error by carrying up the lines from the
sixth standard parallel and correctly
locating the seventh standard parallel
within the Sisseton reservation. SubSe-
quently E. d. Palmer, of Yankton, took
up the corrected line of the seventh
standard and carried it westward to the
Missouri river. The seventh standard
parallel exists as one continuous line
from the eastern boundary of Dakota
to the Missouri river, and is the only
practicable boundary line, as it divides
townships, sections and farms, and any
departure from it's course will place
fragments of townships, sections and
farms in each of two states. When this
matter was under discussion last spring
E. d. Palmer wrote the surveyor gem
eral of Dakota for information, inclosing
this letter. The surveyor general says:
When the error of G. P. Meyers was finally
jected from the Minnesota surveys by those
excellent surveyors now among your neigh
bors, Charles H. Bates and M. Il. Nooley
Hence. so far as the public land surveys are
concerned, the seventh standard as continued
by Mr.. Reeves from the Minnesota surveys of
1870. and subsequently run westward by
Mr.. Wooley in 1872, correcting the Meyer
error, and by yourself In 1874, Is not in any
way affected by the Meyer surveys of 1875,
or Mr.. Barrett's reservation surveys of 1868
So but is i'll proper position, and in its ca
pacity is boundary line, will doubtless be
continued over the reservation in due time

CHICAGO. July 1.-THE celebrated
G. A. R. circular against the
railroads was formulated to-
day, and will be officially
promulgated tomorrow. The circular
recltes the fact that rate of one cent
per mile or less has recently been
granted to other organizations, and
states that the refusal of the railroads
to give this rate to veterans of
the late war is an unjust discrimination
against the g. A. r. COncurrently, the
department commanders of several
states request all comrades
LAS a matter of self respect and self de-
fense, and out of love for the order to
forego the anticipated pleasure of meeting
by remaining at home; only those attending
who were duly elected delegates or eXofficio

The circular concludes by recon-
mending the organization of county and
district reunions throughout the various
departments in order that every old
soldier may be given an opportunity to
meet his comrades around the camp
fire in gladstone reunion.
