REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

1bG6 - OOAN G4N AO4N.
That which bled at the school
house on Monday if as stated by one
of the delegates, n of the best rep
re~ssntativs ones ever held in the
county, managed to get itself into a
snarl which for some time threatened
confusion-worse-- confounded mo-
tons ard counter motions, motions
germane and ungermane, resembling
resolutions and foreign subatitutions
were the order OF the day in the gi.
gantic effort to select eight delegates
to the district convention to put in
nomination candidates for the consti.
tutional convention. The following
names were selected rs such dele
gates: David Miller, Frank Sims,
Ezra Turner, J. B. Sinclair, Ole
H%orneman, P. r. Ferguson, James
Cudhie and John Sandli, who wore
instructed to cast their votes as a
unit for Z. Turner for delegate to
the constitutional convention. It
seems almost incredible that any
party could be prevailed on to exalt
a man to 80 high and responsible =
position an that Of framing a state
constitution for which Ezra Turner
has been named, whose habits of
thought, and out.poken expressions
of opinion are antagonistic to and

LATEST DAKOTA RAILROAD SCHEME

The railroad advantages Of Dakota are
simply wonderful. More miles of road
bed are used within our borders than in
almost any Eastern state except New
York and Pennsylvania. And the era of
railroads in Dakota has scarcely begun.
Another immense system is planning for
an early entrance into the new states.
The Missouri Pacific contemplates build
ing a line direct from Omaha to Yank-
ton, and thence to Huron. While it is
perhaps rather early to do much crow
ing over this new route, there are good
reasons for making the statement that
the line will be built and in operation
before any reader of this paper is many
years older.

A PROBLEM FOR DAKOTA PEOPLI

BUT IT WILL BE SOLVED ALL RIGHT
ENOUGH.
Just how county governments are to
be supported in the region occupied as
the Sioux reservation when it shall have
been opened to settlement is not clear.
The law provides that the lands shall be
subject to homestead entry only. and
that the settlers must live upon land for
five years and then pay $l.2o per acre
for it. Now the question naturally
arises as to what property is to be taxed
to pay the expense Of county govern
ment, schools, etc. 1t is certain that any
attempt to raise any considerable sum
from the taxing Of personal property
will only result in failure, and as real
estate cannot be taxed until the claim
ant has a title, it looks as though there
might be peculiar circumstances in con-
nection with the opening of the reserva-
tion.-Huron Huronite.

BINDING TWINE IN DAKOTA.

From several points in each section of
Dakota comes the information hat farm
ers will stack their grain rather than
submit to high prices that will be de-
manded for binding twine. The Irvine
subject has been discussed at nearly
every meeting of farmers in Dakota dur
ing the winter and spring, and the feel
ing has prevailed that if the farmers
would rely on their own organized ef-
forts to secure Irvine at a fair price or
get along without it, the manufacturers
would quickly come to time.

FOLLOWING PRECEDENT.

The New York cigarmakers are in
dignant at the centennial committee for
sending to Havana for the cigars for the
centennial banquet when there are so
many Havana cigars made in New York.
There would have been All appropriate
ness in having only homemade goods
on an occasion of this sort, but there
has always been an American idea that
everything which comes from. abroad
is superior to our home production. 1t
was so in the days of WASHINGTON,
for he used to send to London for his
wearing apparel, when close by, in the
old town of Alexandria, there were per-
haps as good tailOrs as any of the Lon
don outftters. And then, nOtwith-
standing that even in the colonial days
Virginia had the reputation of making
the best applejack in the world, WASH
INGToN would send all the way
to the West Indies for his rum. The
proof of it is an old letter of WASHING
TONS, which has just found its way into
print, written by Capt. JOHN THOMP-
son, sailor, in which the Father of His
Country asks the old sea dog to take
with him to the West Indies a negro
boy, TOM, ''who is both rogue and a
runaway, and to sell him for whatever
he will fetch" and out of the proceeds
of the sale to bring him "a hogshead of

POET AND ORATOR.

1t was lamentable mistake made by
the New York committee, inviting the
poet WHITTIER to write the centennial
ode. The good old man holds warm
place in the hearts Of his countrymen,
and he is almost tie between the first
and second centuries of our national
life: but age has dimmed his powers
until his effusion Tuesday was but a
mockery of his former self. Every
newspaper Office in the country almost
daily consigns better poetry to the
waste basket. Its weak points were all
the stronger in comparison with the UNI
usually brilliant grafton delivered by
Mr.. DEPEw, which for conciseness.
beauty of diction and rhetorical Orna-
mentation deserves rank in the high
est class of oratory. 1t was an occa-
sion worthy of Americas greatest poet
and orator. Mr.. DEPEw rose to the full
measure of the requirement., while Mr..
WHITTIER made lamentable failure.
The task should have been assigned to
a younger poet who needed the oppor
tunity to acquire fame. and not to one
whose falling physical powers served
to tarnish the fame that had been won.

SUICIDE FIGURES.

Figures recently compiled seem to
warrant the alarm of the pulpit and
other mOralists over the growing dispo-
sition of people to indulge in self-de-
struction. The gatherers of statistics
state that the Cos in this country in 1881
increased to LAST in 1888. That, how
ever, was the presidential year, when
the public mind was at high tension.
and possibly disappointment were OPP
erative in many minds. But, it is in
sisted that since the 1st of January,
this year, to May /. there have been 709
suicides. This ratio for the year will
swell out figures ominously in excess of
former years. In the 700 are bankers,
preachers, lawyers, physicians, artists,
capitalists. and officeholders not in dam
ger of being turned out. 1t would seem
that life would be worth living with
these classes, if any. An analysis will
show only trivial incentives, so far as
there is evidence, to the commission of
this deplorable act. There is evident
need of stronger constraints upon the
mind. and more impressive teachings of
the moral hideousneSs of seIf-killing.
