THE NEW STATE.

Probably Congressman SPRINGER
spoke advisedly and as result of per-
sonal examination, when he counseled
the people of North Dakota to accept
the constitution provided for them. The
only serious objection that has been
raised to it is the incorporation into the
body of the instrument of the DISPOSE
ton of the public institutions. There is
still question as to the legality of the
disposal of the lands without the act of
the legislature. The indications are
that the combination that put up this
job was sagaciou5, and rightly presaged
that this load would be put against so
much general excellence as to avert de-
feat. There are no provisions that put
the new state cOnSpicuOuSly out OF line
of the average newcomer into the
Union. or that attract much general at
tention. The bill of rights recognizes
the national constitution as supreme
and cuts off any chance to Sc
cede and join Canada, But Dakota
people ale not likely to want to go in
that direction. 1t is also declared the
right of the citizen to ''obtain employ
ment wherever possible" This is
aimed at bOycOtting, blacklistlng, and
all interference with persons who refuse
to stand out in strikes. Discretion is
given the legislature to improve on the
grand jury system as it is able. One of
the best provisions in intent is to cut
out the omnibus business in legislation.
1t is made bribery to trade votes on
local measures, but it may be expected
that it will go on, all the same. One of
the most judicious features is that
allowing the governor to veto particular
sections of appropriation bills and pro-
hibiting the attachment of "riders."
The provision allowing civilized In
dams, who had severed their tribal rela-
ton two years, to vote might let in SIT
TING BULL, If he chose to qualify, pro-
vided he is civilized. There is a ques-
ton as to the possibility of his being
civilized, though perhaps the constitu-
ton has reference to his style of dress.
If the Indians abandon the tribal re!a-
lions they will be food for the Dakota
politicians when the era of ''blOcks of
five" arrives. In view of the large for
eign-born population, it is little sur
prising that the suffrage should be re-
stricted to those fully naturalized.
There are thousands of voters in Mime
sofa who will be disfranchised if they
move to North Dakota, and forced to
take out their final papers before they
can get in line with civilized persons
of Indian descent" Some of the women
can vote at school elections, but they
don't generally care to nibble at the
ballot. They will vote like men when
they vote at all. The new state will not
shock conservative notions in any of its
utterances as it comes in.

ALGER'S AMBITION.

If Gen. ALGER ever said that he
would esteem it more of all honor to be
at the head of the G. A. r. organization
than TO be in the place now held by the
man who appointed and has just disap-
pointed Corporal TANNER, he did not
mean to have it taken as terminating
the struggle for the smaller ambition.
In fact, there is hardly a pretense of
yelling the incident as a large piece of
framework for his presidential scheme.
1t is the palpable inception of his cam
paign for the nomination of 1892. To
solidify himself with the organization
he has taken the Jonah of the admins
tration in his arms, and joined hands
with the blatant FORAKER. The COM
bination groups itself as ALGER, FORA
KER and TANNER. Pending the
Ohio election the picture will
not come out in positive col
ors. Ali the support of the
administration and the influence of
JOHN SHERMAN are needed to get the
Ohio executive past the November
gauntlet and on the favOring way to the
senate. But FORAKER has no love for
HARRISON, and always has a StilettO for
SHERMAN at hand. The frigid senator
has no occasion to love ALGER. He re-
members some commercial incidents at
Chicago last year. But ALGER still has
an obese barrel, and it can be tapped to
the advantage of FoRAKER's campaign.
If elected governor he will be in posi-
ton to carry the Ohio vote to ALGER in
the next presidential convention. This
is the way it looks from Detroit. Of
course FORAKER is likely to betIay
ALGER, as he did SHERMAN, if he sees a
chance for himself. He is tricky and
treacherOus. 1t may, however, be for
his interest to work in earnest for the
man at the head of the G. A. r. The
ALGER literary bureau is reported
already in operation at Detroit, and the
fat and easy berth he is to give TANNER

OUT OF FASHION.

A statement full of significance is
found IN the remarks of the chairman
of the Republican city committee of
Boston, at a gathering last week called
to organize young mems Republican
club. He said: II am well aware that
it is not the fashion to-day to be Re-
publican. There is certain fascina-
ton in the free trade movement which
seems to allure our young men,"
The speaker is stated to be young
ma n himself, and being an active force
In the midst of the young men of in
telligence and standing, he is peculiarly
qua lifted to speak from knowledge on
the subject. 1t is remembered that
some years ago young citizen of Bos-
ton, who holds high position there still
and has represented one of its districts
in congress more than one term, was
heSitating whether to cast his fortunes
with the Republican or Democratic
party. He was genial as we'll as
ambitious young man, and wanted to go
with the companionable spirits Of his
association. He wanted to be in the
fashion in Boston, and consequently he
went with the Republicans. There was
no question as to the political fashion in
that city and state at that time. Now
it is confessed that it is difficult to in
duce young men there to follow in the
wake of modern Republican dOgmas
and leaders. The party has prestige in
its early history and its control of the
government in period when there
was much to inspire patriotic ardor, and
in the association with it of many
of the most distinguished of the public
men of the republic. The young men
are able to separate the present from
the past. and recognize the fact that the
party has moved out from the track of
elevating purpose, and become untrue
to itself and its traditions. Its incen-
tives have their center III the spOils.
Boston is not the only locality where it
is becoming out of fashion.

HELPS TEMPERANCE.

EX-GoV. ST. JOHN, of Kansas. is not
trying to please his old Republican
friends just now. He is in the field,
talking prohibition of more drastic
sort than the Republicans ''stand forr
IN his state. He has added the theory
that intemperance is very n umerously
the result of poverty. A few days ago
he made a speech to the miners at
Brazil, Ind, who have so long been out
of work. He explained the operation
of the sort of protective policy they
aided with their votes last year, and in
this connection said: ''This is what
Republican protection has done for you,
and while you are starving you pay as
much for the necessaries of life as the
millionaire taskmaSteTS who get all the
benefit from protection that there is in it.
Thirteen men are doing more to over
throw the republic than all the anarch-
lists that can possibly assemble here
ST. JOHN is erratic In some of his no.
tons, but he is not out of the way in
this. He is doing good work in show
ing how the protective system affects
the workers. When they have plenty
of work with fair wages, enough to eat
and comfortable homes, there will be
little intemperance among them.

THE NEW CONGRESS-.

There are two vacancies in the lower
branch of congress to DE filled. but one
will return Democrat and the other
Republican, making no change. The
full membership comprises 1874 Repub
licans and 161 Democrats. This would
require 163 for quorum. The new
states will probably add three to the ma
jOrity. making 1873 Republicans and 1872
Democrats. The largest possible fig
ure is eight majority, in case all the
five new members are Republicans. A
quorum will require 166 votes. This
will be difficult for the Republicans to
secure from their own members, in case
the Democrats are absent. In the last
congress the Democrats had majority
of eleven or twelve, and yet in the emer-
gencieS when they were forced to rely
upon their own members for quo
rum, they found it almost i'm
possible to effect it. In fact, at times
they were forced to daily and gain time
to gather their forces to prevent being
OutvOted on party measures. The Re-
publicans will be able to secure full
attendance in the organization, but it
would require a vigilance committee,
such as the party had in some former
sessions, to keep quorum within
reach. There is an apparent under
standing that the Democrats will not
resort to obstructing tactics in the
organization, and the Republicans will
not attempt to change the ruleS and gag
the minority. If the Republicans in
sist upon Overhauling the Southern
situation at the opening and trying to
seat contestants in unusual haste and
upon theories rather than facts, there
will be little chance for legislation
until late in the session.

ARE THEY FRAUDS

The ancient conundrum as to the
personality of the assailant of WILLIAM
PATTERSON is likely to have an asso-
ciate in the question as to whether
GRAHAM really went over Niagara
Falls in his barrel and BRoDIE in his
rubber protector. There are those who
insist that they did the heroic act in per-
son, and not in Imagination, with de-
crepit animal or two as the personators.
No interest of a public or scientific
character would be subserved by yeri-
fication of their claims. 1t were better
that the incredulouS should have gen.
eral confidence. 1t would be dlspar-
agement to the great natural wonder if
there could really be such trifling with
its majesty. If reckless crankS can
brave its most stupendous forces. it
shrinks into a commonplace affair. For
the reputation of the falls. as well as
tine security of honest cranks, it is to be
hoped it will be credited that GRAHAM
and BRODIE are frauds.

THE HEROIC ROLE.

The man GOODRICH. who posed in a
judicial convention at Fargo few days
ago as a Florida Republican, may be
safely set down as "Reminiscences of the
carpetbag era. He affected to yibrate
with relief at having a chance for the
first time in ten years to make political
speech without rifle in one hand and
a revolver or two in his boots. Still, he
insisted that the Republicans had from
5000 to 10000 majority in Florida
mostly white voters. Had they the
courage and armament of this Coop
RICH, they acted with singular meek
ness to let the Democratic minority run
over and nearly brighten them to death.
There are some people who like to do
the hero act in politics when they are a
good ways from their homes. If Coop
RICH went to Dakota as an adyertis-
ing agent for Florida, his vanity be-
wildered his judgment.

SUTPHIN MUST SETTLE.
Judge BlOdgett Knocks Out TIT
Minnesota Inspection Law.

Judge B1Odgett Knocks Out the
Minnesota Inspection Law.
CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-An interesting
decision was rendered by Judge Blod-
gett this morning. Gustavus F. Swift,
of the packing firm of Swift & Co.,
asked for damages in the sum of 81 800
against John B. Sutphin, the mayor of
Duluth, Mimi, alleging failure of con-
tract on the part of the mayor. Some
time ago the plaintiff and defendant
entered into partnership. whereby the
defendant was to receive dressed meats
from the plaintiff and sell on commits
sion and salary of $40 per week.
Much meat was shipped to the mayor,
but the latter being informed of the
law in Minnesota, which ex-
ressly stipulates that all meats
sold In the state must be in
spected at least twenty-four hours be-
fore slaughter, refused to handle the
shipments. alleging his fear Of the law.
The claim was set up, therefore, be-
cause of the loss accruing to the plant
itf. Judge Biodgett held that the law
was unconstitutional, as the meats had
already been inspected here in Chicago
before slaughter. Were such law to
be upheld Minnesota would be praeti-
cally shut off from all shipments of
dressed meats. He awarded damages
to the plaintiff in the sum prayed for.

Covering Everything.

covering everything.
CINCINNATI. o., Sept. 13.-The ma
tional Greenback convention was COM
PEELED to delay its work to-day because
the committee on resolutions appointed
last night had not been able to agree
upon report. Finally in the afternoon
a report was presented and a platform
adopted. 1t reafflrms the third and
fourth resolutions of the Democratic
national convention of 1868, pertaining
to the method and time of payment of
the national debt, and to equal taxation
of property. 1t also declares that all
laws changing the time or manner of
the payment of the public debt since
1865 are eX post facto laws, and should
be repealed. That all legal ten
der notes now outstanding should be
Immediately exchanged for others of
like denomination to be issued with the
words ''pI omiSe to pay stricken from
their face, and an additional amount is
sued to reclaim orr arid lands, to sub
sldize an American merchant marine,
to build an American navy, to erect
public buildings, ETC., until their vol
ume in circulation shall amount to at
least $50 per capita of the entire popu-
lation; that indications point to a
greater financial panic in the near
future than this country or the world
ever before saw unless wise and imme-
date provision be made for a vast
amount of money to sustain the peoples
tottering confidence; that the time has
come when all sectional prejudice be-
tween the people of the North and
South should end. The convention ap-
pointed the following national execu-
tive committee:
Alabama, T. c. LETTERS; California, A. Red
stone; Florida, K. M. Ruters; Illinois, Us.

were represented. The committee organized
as follows: Col. George Jones, chairman

and William richards secretaries.
The committee has power to appoint
treasurer. The chairman and vice
chairman are authorized to formulate
plan of operations.

NORTH DAKOTA POLITICS.

At a judicial convention at Fargo this
week that was unable to even instruct
its delegates to the nominating body,
after a heated tussle of nearly day
and night, the perennial and sonorous
orator of the North Dakota Republicans,
Col. PLUMdER, defined the situation as
due to an almost unhealthy Republic
an majority" Other Republicans have
expressed the opinion that IN parts of
that state it would be better for the
party, and conducive to good govern
ment, to have a more stalwart oppOsi-
ton. If the colonel and the others
speak as they think, let them go fishing
for few weeks and give the Democrats
chance. The latter have come into
the field with splendid general ticket.
Col. PLUDIMER. in his candid moments,
will concede that there is none to com
pare with it. The platform covers the
Interests of the people, and is remark
ably easy article TO digest. With this
equipment and sort of tonic, the Demo
Gratis ought to be able to fill up the gaps
and keep the Republicans from having
anv .sunhealthy majority"

A WOMAN's DEPARTMENp

SUSAN B. ANTHONY is quite right,
but trifie superfuOus, in insisting that
there shall be building set apart for
woman's work at the worlds fair. 1t is
feature of all such institutions, and
probably no one ever thinks of holding
one without an ample chance for women
to display their handiwork. 1t is
growing feature of all such exhibitions.
Still, little reflection might throw
doubt into the minds of advanced think
ers like Miss ANTHONY as to the pro-
priety of distinct department for their
persuasion. If woman is to exercise
all the political rights of man, and share
alike with him the duties and IabOrs of
the body polite, why should there be
distinction in the products of her toll
and genius from those of man? Until
the mutually becomes more than a
theory, there will be a woman's de-
partment at fairs.

THE CONCLUSIONS.
The length to which / have already ex-
tended this opinion forbids any notice of
other matters such as the discrepancy be-
tween the facts as alleged in the bill, and
1879 in a case in the state court
which the supreme court of the state
held insufficient TO make a cause of action;
and the testimony of plaintiff and Mr.. Fisher
as to conversation with Mr.. Kittson in re-
spect to newspaper article in February.
1873, which, when shown to be impossible
by the absence of Mr.. Kittson in New Orleans,
they attemD ted to connect with a prior news
paper article in the previous fall, and the
conversations had in the presence of the
judge of this court. in the presence OF Mr.
Farley, after the execution of the agreement
to purchase between Mr.. Hill and his assoc1--
ates and the Dutch committee, each OF

their very multitude carrying conviction.
me surroundings are potent against the
truth OF compliments claim. Very like
~ many of the things testified to
by Messrs. Farley and Fisher were
said by MeSsrs. Hill and KittsOn to them.
Their business Relations were such that they
were often brought into contact and doubt
less, had frequent conversations But l
doubt not that whatever they have truthfully
said were the gathered fragments of many
talks mere disjecta memDra. L cannot be-
lieye from the testimony that at any time
the complainant and the defendants had
that full. distinct talk which complainant
and Mr. Fisher testify to, or that there was
ever definite coming together of the minds
of the parties in reference to an agreement
for the purchase of these bonds. IN
other words think that Mr.. Farley as a re-
ceiver did not fail IN his official dnty. and al
though such conclusion carries an imputa-
ton upon his recollection or veracity as

of this country" That is not worthy
utteranee of one of the apostles of
faith that aims to take in all peoples.
and is oblivious to all the castles and
distinctions of society. 1t is peculiarly
un-American. Most of the people of
this country can trace their ancestry to
foreign lands, and all Christendom has
been welcomed TO the land. 1t is of
the smallest consequence where man
is born. A vast number of those who
have done most patriotic service in the
field and given lessons in statesman
ship in legislative halls have had their
birth in foreign lands, while many ma
tives have proved unworthy in every
station. The bishop does not speak for
the American people, or even his de-
nomination, in his proScriptive and
narrow utteranee.
