PATRIOTISM AND POLITICS.
Both Of Them Receive Attention From
South Dakota People.


South Dakota People.
HURON, S. D., July c. Special to THE
Bee THE thousands of patriotic people of
this state honored themselves by the mag
nifcent manner in which they celebrated In
dependence day. This they did because it is
our first Independence day-the first Fourth
of July on which we could look out
and actually see independence just ahead
the promised land in sight The chief
celebrations were in Huron, Sioux Falls
Armadale and Brookings. In Huron Sun
set' Cox was the orator, while Judge Moody
made very fine speech and Governor Mel
lette spoke a few words. Mr. Cox's ora
tion was gem of the purest ray He had
taken great care in preparing it, and it was
deficient in nothing. 1t was delivered in the
opera house, which will only seat 1,20O
people. There were 1900 visitc IS
in the city, hence many did not
hosp table that the order went out, "No Hu-
romans allowed IN the hall during Cox
speech" And it was enforced. Later the
gentleman spoke TO the crowds out in the
park, which at least satisfied them with "a
sight of Dakota's Lafayette. The procession
was the length of two miles.
Sioux Falls had a very imposing procession,
and E. r. Clough, "the fighting parsonn OF
Watertown, made them an excellent speech.
Hundreds of old soldiers held reunion in
Brooklngs; five thousand people assembled
at Armadale, and many other smaller cele-
bratons were held all over the state. II was
the happiest fourth that many of US had ever
knoWn-the oldest settlers being the hap
pest
The clans are getting into battle array.
The republicans have fixed the day for their
nominating conventions; next week the dem
ocratic committee will hold meeting in
Sioux Falls to arrange for their state con-
vention. True, their convention will be
about as uninteresting an affair rs a demo-
cratic convention in Vermont. But the
faithful will 90 through the motions in hopes
of a better day by ana by. General Taylor,
long democratic editor in Yankton, and one
of the most popular citizens of the state, is
liable to be their nominee for governor;
Judge Tripp, of Yankton, and John M.
Wilson of the Black Hills, their candidates
for United States senator's; p, r. Mcclure, of
Pierre and William Vaneps, of Sioux Falls.
for congressman; Ezra Miller, of Uuion
county and II. j. Walsh, of Redfeld, for
two of the members of the supreme court,
with q third from the Hills.
Candidates for the republican nomination S
continue TO appear. B. f.. Hood OF Aber-
deem, and II. Il. Kratz, of Mitchell, desire to
be superintendent of public instruction. The
friends OF John ii Patten, of Miner county,
believe that he would honor the chair OF
lieutenant governor, and they will be heard
from ia this behalf.
There is no doubt that the "outs" are pre-
pared to make an assault on the convention
for the purpose Of inducing that body TO
order an election Of county officers this fall.
They have been very quiet in working up
this matter, but II is well under way and
will need TO be vigialntly matched II the plan
is nullifed.

THE DULUTH RIOTS.
The Militia Prepared to Move at
Moments N0ttce.

Moments N1ttce.
Duluth, Mimi, July Last night the
strikers made a desperate attempt to kill Joe
Wolf, of the firm of Wolf & Knot, who have
been particularly obnoxious to them. While
Wolf was driving in the west end he was
surrounded by strikers and stones were
thrown at him. Wolf jumped and escaped
inst as the police came up. The wagon was
overturned and demolished by the strikers.
Officer Force was found to have received in
juries on the legs by stones thrown by the
strikers.
The friends of Carlson claim that he had
nothing to do with the strike, although he
was arrested by the police as the leader
Captain Mclaughlin aimed at him twice at
close range but the shot did no: take effect.
Affairs queted down last night. but there
were fears of an outbreak this morning. The
air is still thick with ugly rumors, but with
hundreds of we'll armed special policemen it
is believed that the authorities, with the as
sistance of the militia. will be able to with
stand any attack. The militia is prepared to
move at moments nbtice, and the police
will be employed in the neighborhood of yes
ord ers to disperse all assemblies promptly,
and the contractors Will res lme work to-
morrow morning under police protection at
the former rate of wages.
concerning the dead and wounded
among the strikers. Many were
taken away during the battle
and could not be traced to their homes or
boarding places. From what can be learned
at the hospitals and boarding houses fair
estimate of the wounded will be twenty Ave,
and several more are thought to be seriously
injured.
1t is not positively known that more than
one man Is dead, Ed johnson, aged twenty
five. The death Of Matt Mack, aged thirty
ive, and Tom Fitzsilnmons, aged eighteen,
is momentarily expected, and it Is probable
that all the others will recover. OF the po-
lice, all are doing well and several have
returned to duty, limping slightly or carry
ing an arm In a sling. The action of the
police is unanimously commended and their
bravery praised. 1t is settled to the salts
faction of everybody that the strikers were
the aggress0rs.
Late this evening, as an additional precau-
tion, the sheriff sworc in thirty extra depu-
ties, and the army now numbers nearly 200
determined men.

TINT apRyppa

1.-THE one thing that strikes me rs quite
strange said an old hanger-on around the
departments, sis the remarkable difference
in the utterances OF q class of clerks in the
departments from Indiana within the past
few months. There were no more offensive
ly partisan democrats than these Indiana
fellows all last summer. They scoffed at
the civil service law, sneered at the republi-
can nominee, swore by Voorhees, and de-
clared their unqualified hatred to everything
with the name of republican attached, and
openly boasted that their designations would
be atthe disposal of their superiors the mo-
ment that the political atmosphere In the
white house should change. l have noticed,
however, that these same Indiana
people are the quietesL lambs in
the departmental service to-day. There
were three or four who used to gather every
afternoon in front of restaurant on one of
the side streets, and their denunciations of
the republican party and their laudation of
voorhees, and the sainted Hendricks could
be heard for blocks. This little party seems
TO have thrown up its charter, and no more
gatherings are held now. In fact each Of the
crowd seems bent on getting his meals as far
away from his fellows as possible / think
that their work In the department is very
much better than it used to be, and have no
doubt that the public service ia benefited to
that extent, but it shows how easy 1t is for
men to change their political opinions. or at
least to smother them when they fear that
their bread and butter is In danger. 1t Is
only anOtner evidence OF Tue uemOrallZlnS

SUNDAY In New orleans.

New ORLEANS, July 7.-There is nothing
Of Sunday character about the aspect of this
city to-day. The streets are crowded with
people who have come to witness tho great
lnill. The demand for seats in the inner
ring was SO great this morning by 10 o'clock
ihat the entire capacity of the ring, 800 seats,
has been disposed Of. Spectators, however
lad inner ring tickets for sale at prices
hanging from S25 TO $40. Colonel Garrett,
general southern passenger agent of the
Queen e. Crescent, estimates that there will
be $500 people on the ground, and that the
gate receipts will approximate $4,000. OF
ths amount the railroad company will
only received 50 ticket, say IS 600 in all; the
remainder will be divided between the COM
blnations after first deducting expenses. If
from any cause the fight is prevented, pur-
chasers of tickets will get all their money
back but 81 for actual railroad fare. The
proceeds of the gate money will be divided as
follows: Sixty per cent to the winner and
forty per cent to the loser.
Sullivan continues to be the favorte of the
talent, but pubic sentiment, that Is to say
public sentiment which Is backed by
principle and not by money, is all in
favor Of Kilrain. The genteel element of the
community arc almost unanimously in faver

aotbing better than brute and want to see

back their preference. At the clubs to-day
