for the purpose of using him as a wit

When we SPOKE of the probable ending of
Cos. Francis public career with the expira-
tion OF his term As governor we did not
think of the L. S. senator TO be elected two
years hence, in whose sc lection money
alone counts. Electing L. S. senators mas
become strictly financial matter in which
the man with the longest purse wins: in
fact, the election in this case should be call
ed an auction. 1t occurs TO us that when
Senator Vest considers the invlncibe pro-
portions of Gov. Francis "bar'l" and the
and scattered the sinews of political warfare
broadcast over the state last summer and
fall, he (Vest) must certainly feel di scour-
aged The PerryUilIe Chronicle.
The radical editor of the Chronicle
is evidently confounding Missouri with
some Republican state when he gives
utterance to the foregoing. No man
with any regard whatever for veracity
Can assent that money has played any
part in the selection of Z. S. senator
in this state since the Democrats have
been in majority. Strange contrast.
we admit, when placed beside the re-
cent senatorial contests i'm Wisconsin
and other Republican strongh olds,
but tbs true nevertheless. AS for
Senator Vest he can be u. S. senator
from Missouri as long he desires. This
is not cffical but it can be banked on
all the same.

Sioux FALLS, July lin the %consti-
tutional convention it was proposed to
memoriallze the president to suspend
mineral entries Upon school lands near
large cities until the state is organized and
can defend the rights thereto in cases of
fraud. There was strong opposition on
the ground that tie ordinary operation is
sufficient to prevent such fraud and to
ask the president to suspend an entire
class of entries was equivalent to petition
ing him to do the same thing which re-
suited in such bitter denunciation of
Cleveland's land commissioner, Sparks,
Despite these considerations the memorial
was adopted by a vote of 30 TO %. All
opposition to the reference of every part
Of the constitution of 1885 to appropriate
committees was withdrawn, no~twithstand-
ing the strong opposition the day
previous.
A petition was received from the
Methodist Ministers Association of
Southeastern Dakota asking the conven-
ton to provide for honest elections in the
constitution, and also that the vote on
state officers and temporary location OF
the state capitol be taken at different
times than that of the constitution.

on temperance, Mr.. Hugen, is p%ronounc
ed in favor of constitutional prohibition
and the majority of the committee are of
the same view. 1t is probable this ques-
ton will be submitted to the vote of the
people in the form of an amendment to
the constitution. Governor Mellette adj
dressed the convention, urging the great
est safeguards for the purity of the ballot.
Both parties are preparing for a lively
campaign in North Dakota in their efforts

Among the latest limitations which
have been successfully introduced into
the tobacco trade of this city and other
cities are cigars, the wrappers of which
are made IL of a specially perfdmed
paper. A gentleman well known in the
iron manufacturing circles of this vi
cinity was the first to inform a Com
mercial Gazette reporter hat smoking
material of this kind was new in the
market. He has recently returned from
a visit to Norfolk, Va, where he met a
drummer for a large tobacco factory of
New York state. This gentleman in
formed the ~Pittsburger that he was then
introducing an imitation cigar wrapper
which was so deceiring in its character
that experts could scarcely distinguish
it from the genuine.
This preparation was made from rye
straw, and n portion of the process
was to steep the material in a strong
solution made from tobacco stems. The
grain of the straw, together with the
in which the material was
dressed, would lead any person to sup
pose that it was a sample of the leaf
used in making wrappers for cigars of a
more than ordinary quality. The flavor
of tobacco vas also present, owing to
the paper having been immersed in the
solution made from the genuine article.

to-day Conrad Choteau introduced a reso-

established unless the assessed valuation
within the limits or boundaries shall be
SO, 000, 900 or more. Eaton introduced a
compulsory education resolution, also a
resolution prohibiting the employment of
children under IA in the mines or manu-
factories. Barns, of Lewis, offered a res
olution that irrigation is a subject of per-
ane importance to Montana and de-
serves the serious consideration of the
convention and by Joy, of Park, a resolu-
ton that no corporation shall employ in
any capacity Chinese or Monaghan labor
and that no Chinese shall be employed on
any public works. Maginnis, of Clark
introduced a resolution r~eciting the fact
that congress usually granted swamp
lanes to new states, and as there was no
such land in Montana, requesting con
press to cede to the state a corresponding
amount of land Tor the purpose of defray-
ing expenses of irrigation and the con
struction of reservoirs. The convention

RAPPING RAILROADS.
PRONUNCIATION of the Celebrated
G. A. R. Circular.
Acting Secretary of State,
Wyatt, Sent to Jail.
Representatives of Four New
States Framing Funda-
mental Laws.
The G.. A. II. Circular.


CHICAGO, July 1.-THE celebrated G.
A. r. circular against the railroads was
formulated to-day and will be officially
promulgated tomorrow. 1t states that
after a long continued effort on the part
of a large number of department COM
manders of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public, supplemented by earnest appeals
to the railroad officials, the G. A. r. has
failed to secure to the old soldiers the
customary rate of one cent per mile to the
national encatnpment. The circular re-
cites the fact hat the rate of one cent per
mile or less has recently been granted to
other organizations, and states that the
refusal of railroads to give this rate to the
veterans OF the late war is an unjust dis
crimation against the g. A. X.
Concurrently the department com
manders of the various states request all
comrades las a matter of sell respect and
defence. and part of love for the order to
fcrego the anticipated pleasure of meet
ing their comrades at the national en-
campment, by remaining at home, only
those attending who were elected dele
gates or ex-oficio members of the en-
campment, Let us in a dignified and
r~esolute manner resent this great injustice
sought to be melted out to old soldiers by
the railroad managers"
The circular concludes by recommend
ing the organization of county and dis
trict reunions throughout the various de.
partments in order that every old soldier
may be given an opportunity TO meet his
comrades around the camp fire in a glad
some reunion.

CHICAGO, July ia bloody smuggling
match took place in Chicago tonight
without even the show of interference
made by Mississippi in the Sullivan-Kil-
rain fight. The fighters we're the negro,
Peter Jackson, of Australia, and Sailor
Brown, the former had agreed to stop the
latter IN six rounds. The men fought with
two ounce gloves and Brown rushed the
fighting, but was repeatedly knocked down
by his antagonist. Stubbornly he continued
but in the third round his condition be-
came pitiable; he was bleeding profusely
and unable to raise his hands. The spec
tators cried out he was being killed and
the referee stopped the fight, awarding
the victory to jackson.
