HERE AND THERE,

1t is alreody evident that Minneapolis
and st. Paul are getting ready to pre-
sent some wonderful figures as result
of the next census, and there is big
fight on hand over the selection of the
gentleman who will manipulate the
figures for that state. st. Paul has given
it out that she proposes to show up
more people than Minneapolis, and
Minneapolis doesn't propose to have it
that way. Altogether the figures which
will be sent out from those cities next
year will be fearfully and wonderfully
made up.-Omaha Dispatch.
There is room for 10000 families in the

there.-BOston Globe.

1T CAME WEST.

A paper of late date. from the capital
of New Hampshire. berates its moneyed
men for organizing company with
million dollars capital to invest in i'm
provements in the West. 1t appeals to
their local pride to put their capital into
home factories and summer resorts for
tourists, and plaintively bewails the
tendency all over that state to put their
surplus means into western specula-
tions," lands. railroads, mines, etc.
This, it alleges, has been the practice
for years, and the state has been de-
pleted of its capital and young men to
build up other sections. The West is
certainly indebted to New Hampshire
and other Eastern states for men and
money, but the advantage has been
mutual. AS the paper reminds them of
losses in some instances, probably some
investments in mines have failed to
meet expectations, but there are abun-
dant openings in Western realty IN
which there are no contingencies, and
the men who prefer to send their money
West act upon motives dictated by
profitable experience.

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

The supreme court of Ohio has re-
versed the decree of Judge PUGH in
sentencing ALLEN O. MAPEs to pay
fine of $500 and serve ninety days in jail
for contempt of court. Whereupon the
Washington Post suggests that legisla-
ton is needed to emphasize the point
that courts ale not final judges OF con-
tempt against themselves.
We are inclined to the same opinion,
although it is power that is seldom
abused by the courts. But the fact that
it is liable to abuse, and that in few
instances petulant and spiteful judges
have made extreme use OF the power
that is vested in the bench to ayenge its
Sights and insults, only goes to demon
strate the necessity for legislative enact
ment in fixing the limit of punishment
for contempt. AS rule, the injured
party is not supposed to sit in impair
tial judgment Oh his own case; and
where a judge is smarting under real
or fancied wrong he is liable to go too
far in contempt case. Nor is it in ac-
cord with the spirit of our institutions
that unlimited power should be vested
in one man. Therefore there should be
provision in the code of each state
giving a clear Interpretation of what
constitutes contempt and limiting the
punishment for the OffenSe.

WOMEN MINISTER'S.

The statement that the Ohio female
preacher auth orized to perform the
marriage ceremony took new depart
ture. and was the first instance of the
kind, elicits various facts on the SUBJ
ject. Rev. PHEBE HANAFORD states
that she has married people in three
states and united forty-nine couples.
She is Universalist preacher, and in
sists that in her denomination there are
nearly forty women legally qualified to
perform the marriage ceremony, and
hundreds of people have enjoyed their
services, and the law has not set any of
these aside. In 1870 courts in Massa-
chusetts decided that Rev. OLYMPIA
BROWN possessed this authority. 1t
does not appear why there should ever
have been any question raised on the
subject. Where women are ordained
ministers this function naturally at
taches. In the early history of Wyo-
ming, and perhaps Washington territory,
there were female justices who took in
legal fees this way.W omen naturally like
to have a good deal to do with these
little domestic arrangements.

wH1sKY's COMPETITOR.

If this were summer. or there were a
prospect that we were going to have
any summer, we would, probably, be
more interested in DR.. HAMMOND's
statement that ice water kills more peo-
pie in this country than whisky. But
in the present chilly state of the
weather nobody in this country is
hankering for ice water; and, conse-
quently, whisky has the field to itself.
And yet it is well enough to remem-
Der what DR.. HAMMOND says, for if the
weather ever does get warm everybody
will be calling Tor ice water. He says
that the two diseases now prevalent in
this country, and which are most fatal,
Bright's disease and paralysis, are both
produced by an Incorporate use of ice
warer. And there are very few who do
not use it intemperately,f for a Tablespoon
full is an immoderate quantity, particu-
larly when the individual is perspiring
when the water is taken into the
stomach.
DR.. HAMMOND says that water for
drinking purposes should never be
below fifty degrees, for when it is lower
than that a rude shock is given to the
whole system by gulping down glass

SAUCE.F FOR Roth.

Republicans think it unfair that the
legislature of Indiana should be con-
trolled by the Democrats while the pop
ular vote shows small margin in their
favor. 1t is insisted that the apportion-
ment is unjust. The legislature of
Rhode Island has just elected Repub-
lican governor, although the Democratic
candidate had several thousand more
votes. Connecticut has two Repub-
licans in the senate, although the state
is Democratic. So has New York,
which is generally Democratic on the
state ticket. In neither of these states
could the Democrats carry the legis-
lature if they had 1000 popular votes to
every 900 Republican. If this were the
condition in any Southern state, Re
publicafs would insist that it die not
have republican form of government
and needed taking in hand by congre SIS.
It is not designed to apologize for un-
fairness in any state, nor insist thatany
party has always been above partisan
methods in such matters; but there is
SCOT on the pot as well as kettle.

NOT THE SAME.

Eastern papers, and some not very
far East. confuse the Sioux and Sisse-
ton reservations. and are likely to mis-
lead some of those looking for homes.
The statement is on the newspaper cir
cult that the Sisseton lands comprise
3,5OO,OOO acres. and will be thrown open
to settlement at the usual government
price as soon as some matters of detail
can be arranged with the Indians. If
the new settler could get quarter or
half section of those lands in the usual
homestead way, he should not let any
grass grow under his feet in getting
there. 1t would be small bonanza in
the heart of an unsurpassed civiliza-
ton. But there are less than 1000, 900
acres of these lands, and they cannot be
available for settlement until action IS
had by congress and deal made with
the Indians. Any one who supposes
these processes have any element of
rapldity in them has been poor OBJ
server. A yearo or two would be reason
ably rapid. The 100000 acres or
more of Sioux lands may be open to
settlement by snow time if the Indians
sign the terms as readily as expected.

DAKOTA ELECTIONS.

There has never been any voting in
Dakota, with some local exceptions, of
interest enough to draw out the full
vote. This will not be the case at the
coming election, Oct. l. In North Da-
kota the convention has yet to lay out
the programme, but it will comprise
about the same as in the South, so far
as filling Offices is concerned, with some
doubt as to certain special indictments.
In the South there will be a governor
and seven other state officers to elect.
two congressman, thirty-SiX state sena-
toos and ninety-eight repre- resentatives,
three supreme court judges, six circuit
judges and county judge for each
county. These and the novelty of vot-
ing just like the people of the states
would draw out large vote; but the
mustard plaster on the body polite is
the capital question, not to speak of the
prohibitory amendment. A man who
wouldn't come out to vote with all these
inducements would as soon attend the
funeral of his mother-in-laW as to go to
a circus. The minority amendment is
also to be voted on, and some RepubJi-
cans want it rejected, so as to keep
Democrats from coming out to the elec-
ton and have all the fun themselves.

THE GOVERNMENT WILL AID
President Harrison Offers Uncle
Sans Assistance.

WASHINGTON, June 2. President
Harrison did not attend church to-day,
but spent his time in communicating
with people in the food-stricken districts
with view to granting them such succor
as lay in the power of the government.
About 9 o'clock in the morning, Gen.
Schoteld. acting secretary of war came to
the White house, and he and the presi-
dent repaired to the telegraph room,
where they were put in communication
with as many points and as many per-
sons near the flooded districts
extend to the people in distress
any succor which the government could
give. He said that the government
would supply as many tents and rations
and soldiers to assist in the work of rec
lamation as possible. Gov. Beaver, Of
Pennsylvania. who was at Annapolis,
Nd, as member OF the board of visit
Ors to the naval academy was commune
Gated with and was informed of the
governments willingness to grant sue
cor and relief. The governor secured a
special train and left Annapolis for
York, Pa, for the purpose of placing
these offers On the part of the
government before the people in
the flooded district. The president
and Gen. Schofield remained near
the telegraph instruments receiv-
ing and replying to kilograms
until noon. Alter luncheon they spent
more time in telegraphing, and at
o'clock the president went out driving
to view the destruction which the floods
of the Patomae had wrought. He and
Mrs. Harrison then again went into the
telegram office and STAYED there for
some time, the president extending
his sympathies to the afflicted
people and endeavoring to learn of
every way in which he might be of SER
vice to them. The government has
about 1000 tents which it can lend to the
sufferers. The government has also un-
der its control several thousand tents
belonging to the militia OF the service
and these will be loaned if needed. The
offers of soldiers was made for the rea-
son that it was thought they might be
useful in clearing away debris, search

GOOD BEGINNING.

The Sioux commission seem at last to
be moving toward the field of opera
tions, and, as announced, will strike in
at Rosebud, the most southerly agency
in the reservation, perhaps excepting
Pine Ridge, Oh the extreme west. Less
is known generally of these Indians
than of those further north, where are
SITTING BULL, JOHN GRASS, RED
CLOUD, and the other notables, some of
whom are kickers from way back.
There is something III names. At
Standing Rock. where the commission,
last year, did their first and chief work,
they found obstinate old bullheads who
defeated the mission; but at Rosebud, a
name inviting to the senses, it is under
stood that the Indians are favorable,
and even anxious to sign. A good start
there will be long ways toward sue
cess. The Indians should understand
that this is their last chance for so lib
eral terms. Their consent will not be
asked if another law shall be needed.
