A strange Identifcation,

TRENTON, Dec. 16, 1889.-The man who
was drowned in the canal near the
American Saw Company's Works, and
was lying in the morgue nearly all of last
week, was identified on Saturday as
Michael Mcdonnell, who was a 1agman
at T~ullytown. Mcdonnell had been an
inmate of st. Francis Hospital because of
some spinal trouble, and left the institu-
ton last Monday and had not been seen
since. John Bannon, one of the regular
patients, was sent over OIL Saturday to
see if the body could be that of Nc
Donnell, and he at once identi-
fed it not alone by the features, but
by other characteristics. He started out
from the hospital for a walk early Mon
dav morning, but his absence for the day
was not particularly noticed, as it was
thought he might have gone to visit his
cousin. a Bordentown lady. The Penn
~sylvania Railroad paymaster called at
the hospital with McDonnall's regular
pay, Tuesday, and not finding him there
returned AGAIN Saturday. 1t was then
that suspicion was aroused as to Melon
nails Whereabouts, resulting in the dis
covery at the morgue. The hospital
authorities will probably take charge Of
the remains.

THE OLDEST POTTER.
a VETERAN OF THAT IND USTRY
DIES IN TRENTON.

John S. NEcCuIly. whose Ancestors
Brought the Art to This Country-A
Fire and a Shooting Case in Camden.
TRENTON, Dec. 16. 1ss9.-The death OF
John S. McCully, Trenton's Oldest native
citizen, about nine o'clock SATURDAY.
evening, was no surprise to his friends.
He had been very weak for several days,
and his death was expected every minute.
He resided with Mrs. Catharine TiIton,
on East Hanover street, Il he was IN
great dread that she should die before
him and leave him without a home. Mrs.
Tilton died on Friday night, a strange
coincidence. She was seventy-one years
of age. He had lived with Mrs. Intoh
for years.
Had Mr.. McCully lived until February,
5 he would have been ninety-one years OF
age, yet he was very active and up 10
within two weeks previous to ms deaLn
he could be seen walking ABOUT the
streets without any sign of undue feeble
ness.
The McCullys were probably among the
first potters in the United States and the
deceased was doubtless the Oldest living
potter. Mr.. McCully's great uncle,
Joseph McCully, built a pottery op-
posite the Philadelphia and Reading
depot and operated it for several
years. The father of the deceased
came to Trenton from Philadelphia IN
1872, to live with his uncle, and he learned
the pottery business and built q pottery
on Warren street on the site OF Bishop
O'Farrell's residence, in 1916. He died IN
1865, and his son, the deceased, continued
the business. E~arthenware was all that
was made at that time. MI. McCully re-
tired from active business in 1868. he
was active in politics and an organizer OF
party measures and stood among the
leaders OF the old Wing party in the
State for many years. For nine years
from 1889 to 1S49-he was State Prison In
spector, and from 1S49 to 1858 he served
as Postmaster of Trenton. He cast mis-
first vote for James Munroe in 1896, when
he ran a second time for President.
Mr.. McCully remembered Trenton
when it was only a village with but two
little potteries. He was fond of telling
"reminiscences of the olden time and his
conversation was always interesting. He
lived in Trenton all his life and was the
only survivor of his own generation. His
wife, Margaret Ann Herbert, died in
February, 1866, leaving nc children. MI.
McCully was inclined to the persuasion
of Friends, though not a member of any
church. He led an exemplary life and
was highly respected by all who Knew
him. He leaves u considerable fortune
to his heirs.

AN OBJECTION.

The Sioux Falls constitution contains
one clause. section I of article Is. that
will be found very troublesome, should
the instrument be adopted in full. 1t
prohibits the state, county or any sub
division from loaning its credit or giving
donations to any enterprise Or cause
except the support of the poor. That
is tying of the hands that might be
very preiudicial to public interests, and
would probably stop railroad building.
sinking of artesian wells OF any notable
improvement. The argument against
leaving the field open to the new con-
vention assumes that the people are
less capable to construct constitution
now than they were in 1885. Possibly
there would be ground for this in the
fact that men of all, parties would now
take part, while in 1885 the line was
drawn On party. There were no Demo-
Gratis i'll the convention, and few took
any part in the voting. Only p, 1872
votes were cast for the ratification of the
constitution. That is good deal less
than third of the vote of the South.
A fundamental law should baye little
better foundation.
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-03-16
THE REASON WHY.

The special anxiety to get Gov.
CHURCH out of Office at once was not
due merely to the itching of old sores.
as might be supposed, in view of the
fact that the legislature had adjourned
and the governor had appointed every
body to office he could. OF rather filled
all the holes he could find. The men
who dislike him with intense feryor
would have been glad to let Secretary
MCCORMACK remain q time, as coz
trast TO the disposition made of the
executive; but the apportionment of
districts for the constitutional conyen-
tions is to be made by the chief justice,
governor and secretary; and as the
chief justice will remain, the retention
of one of the others would give tie
Democrats majority. This could not
be endured, of course, and so the pres
sure was kept up. To the square
dealing citizen it would not look like a
matter of much concern. That minority
feature will insure reasonable repre-
sentation of the smaller parties. There
would have been no unfairness under
the old board, and there need be no
apprehensions of any with MEILETTE
and RICHARDSON added to TIE chief
Justice.
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-03-16
THEOPENJNG.

As the text of the Sioux reservation bill
is examined, there is little room for en-
thusiasm, aside from the single fact that
it probably insures the opening in the.
course of period that can be computed.
The romantic partiality of the peculiar
Massachusetts senator for the red folks
is stamped in its features. The option
of the Indians is recognized; but as
their demands of last year are met, it is
presumed they will not give further eX-
hibitions of their stupid .mulishnesS.
They are to have munificent allotmentS
of lands and have Sl.25 an acre for all
the lands in the reservation that revert
to the government. There is, probably,
10 doubt that they will accede to the
terms. They are not imbecile enough to
suppose any more liberal terms will
ever be had. A commission has to be
appointed to go over the ground and
gain the consent of the Indians. This
will take some months, and then the
lands will have to be surveyed and land
offices opened. 1t will not be safe to
go on and locate until the government
announces that the lands may be taken.
The provision that settlers shall pay
Sl.25 an acre for lands taken under the
homestead act, in addition to the usual
fees, does not seem designed to encour-
age migration there. If this is under
stood, ii must regard these lands as more
valuable than other lands open TO home
stead, not subject to this tax or pur-
chase. 1t seems to be designed for the
payment to the Indians to come out of
the settlers. At the rate that steps are
taken in such matters usually. there will
hardly be much opportunity for settlers
to go upon the lands before fall. if then.
Those who cannot afford to wait, and
must make a crop this year, will be
obliged to find chances elsewhere.
There is plenty of good land to be had
in most of the ten land districts of the
territory, and it would not be wise to
delay on account of the reservation not
being open vet.

MITCHELL is IN THE RING
And Will Make an Earnest Fight for the
Capital Prize.
IT COMPARES THE FIGURES
With Huron as to Sweep of It's
Radius and General Eligi-
bility.
Special to the GLOBE.

Special to the GLOBE.
A number of aspiring towns in the
territory are just now pushing their
claims for the capital, by claiming to be
the most centrally located, especially
Huron, which city for the purpose of
proving that she is the most centrally
located' as regards population, has
caused to appear in the majority of
Northwestern newspapers, a table
showing that about the entire popula-
tion of South Dakota is within radius
of 100 miles of that city. This table
may catch anyone unacquainted with
the geography of the territory, but to
anyone who is familiar with the fact,
that this 100 miles limit takes in all
the populated portion of South
Dakota, with the exception of the Black
Hills, the table means but little
There is fully as large a population
within a radius of 125 miles of Redfield
and Mitchell and number of other i'm
portant towns as Huron, each of whom
can as well offer the same claim. The
following carefully compiled tables will
be of interest i'll showing which of the
three principal towns competing capital
honors, Pierre, Huron and Mitchell, is
the most accessible to the majority of
our population:
Population within a radius of forty
five miles OF Pierre ............... 1870
Population within radius of forty
five miles of Huron. on................. 72,440
Population within radius of forty
five miles of Mitchell 80. -. -. 101, ,61O
Again-Railroad towns in direct commu-
nicatiou with Pierre without change. =. .26
Railroad towns in direct communication
with Huron without change. .........1 "A
Railroad towns in direct communication
with Mitchell without change. ............72
Another-Time for round trip, aver
aged from nearly every important town
in South Dakota to Pierre thirty-four
hours, to Huron twenty-six hours, to
Mitchell fourteen hours. And again, if
every man. woman and child in South
Dakota made trip to the capital, the
saving in railroad fare alone, were it
located at Mitchell in preference to
Huron, would erect S350,OO building;
and going to Pierre, like comparison,
the saving would be over 100000.
AS the time for the October elections
draws nearer the chance for MitchelFs
final success will brighten, and her cit
liens will receive merited reward for
her faithfulness to Dakota interests
which she has repeatedly shown in the
past.
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-03-16
A POINT OR TWO.

The argument in favor of the adop-
ton of the Sioux Falls constitution, that
it contains several valuable features.
may be conceded without impairing the
force OF the objections urged. If it is
admitted that it contains one feature
that is inadvisable and could De I'M
proved, its advocates lose tenable
ground. The constitutional convention
is to meet all the same, whether the
people in May vote the old constitution
up or down. Its expense is paid from
Washing ton, and it will be in session
just as long, whether it has the chance
10 make whole constitution or only
tack on few things to it. 1t would
probably adopt the old one in the main.
Here and there place for change, to
adapt to later developments and the
larger needs, would be found. Voting
in favor of it simply cuts off any chance
to change word in it except the rou-
tine parts, such as name, boundary and
the dates. 1t has not been noted that
any one asserts that the Sioux Falls
constitution is perfect and not suscepti-
bic of Improvement.
