Answering To- . mand.mus,

WAnoo, Neb, July 27.-The city
council of Ashland are in town to answer
in a mandamus action brought against
them to compel the setting Of q time for
the hearing of a remonstrance filed
against an application for a liquor license.
1t is claimed that the demonstrators were
personally notified by the mayor when
the matter would come up for hearing,
and that they were not on hand with
their witnesses and the remonstrance was
overruled and after a license was granted
them a protest was entered, and they
now ask that the council be required to
"set a day" for the hearing, to hear the
same thing that it has already listened to.
The remonstrators will probably get the
mandamus for the technical reason that
the council did not prior to the hearing
set a day" for the same.

Skeletons Unearthed.

YANKToN, S. d., July ga party of
explorers yesterday unearthed a number
Of human skeletons buried in the chalk
bluffs, ten miles east of Yankton on the
Nebraska side. Fifty skulls and 200
headless skeletons were found, which
local physicians pronounce to be the re-
mains of white people, children and
adults. The indications are that they
have been buried forty or fifty years.
Two theories are advanced to account
for their presence in the chalk pits. One
is that they were immigrants bound for
California in 1S4S, who were murdered
by the Indians. Another theory is that
they were Indians Of some tribe at wal
with the Sioux, and that they were mas.
Further researches will be made.

NEW YORK SLAVE TAiLORS


NEW YORK, July GA committee
sent here by the Tailors' union, of Bos-
ton, has been investigating the condition
of the sweating shops where ready.
made clothing is manufactured, on the
east side of this city. From time to time
these places have heen described in the
daily papers, but the Boston men were
startled by what they saw and heard.
When the Boston tailors struck six
months ago their employers told them
that competition with the "swea,ers' of
this city was impossible. This story
could hardly be believed, hence the com.
mittee. Yesterday the delegates visited
some houses in Hester and adjacent streets
Of the others. No. - Hester street, which
is a six story double tenement, was found
occupied by contractors, or sweaters"
on every floor. Here were being made
mems and boys clothing-trousers, vests
and coats. Every room was occupied
by scantily dressed men, women, boys
and girls. The principal work rooms
were ks feet and all contained red hot
stoves, on which the food of the bosses
and their families was prepared and the
irons of the pressers were heated. In
these rooms were crowded eight to ten
women and men. No word or series Of
words can be found to express the
amount of dirt or the quality Of the at
mosphere. Both were awful and over.
| towering to any ordinary clean person.
Here the slaves of the Sweaters"
worked from daylight 10 10 and II at
night, many of the men rarely
going home, but throwing themselves
down on the heaps Of clothing and rags.
Most Of the men worked on the task"
system, and were required to keep up
with their stint" "Greenhorns" are
frequently brought in aud started at as
low IS 80 cents a week. Nor are the
''aweaters' themselves SO much TO blame,
They work as hard, or harder, than many
OF the others, getting up at 2 o'clock in
the morning to prepare the work for the
day, and their earnings are comparatively
Insignificant. The stories heard by the
Boston delegates had a sameness about
them that enforced their truth, The
committee said they would begin a cru
SADIE against the New York ready-made
clothing when they returned to Boston.

full attendance at today's session OF the con

STANDING Rock AGENCY, July 81
The first council was held yesterday
afternoon. John Grass, Gaul, Running
Antelope, Mad Bear and other prominent
chiefs and 8 large number of Indians
were present. Governor Foster and
Major Warner made the customary ex-
plantations. The Indians listened With
close attention, but with no evidence of
interest in the matters discussed. At the
close of the council it was announced that
the fifteen beeves would be issued, and
during the conversation which followed
in reference TO the details the
Indians were thoroughly interested,
and finally the chiefs shook hands
with evident good humor The
next council will be held Monday. From
conversation with many persons more or
less acquainted with the Indians it is be-
lieved that for some weeks they have
been talking the matter over with each
other, and i. is said they have bound
themselves not to accept the govern
ment's proposition. AS at Cheyenne,
the police force is practically unanimous
ia opposition. Many Of the employees
are either mixed blood or men who have
been for years incorporated in the tribe.
~ these men, from the best information
%obtainable, are believed to be using their
influence to the same effect.
GETTING NAMES AT CHEYENNE.
PIERRE, s. d., July 27.-Late reports
from Cheyenne agency state that 1886

signing. The prospects are very en-
c%ouraging that three. fourths of the sigma
lures will be obtained in a few days,
ALL RIGHT AT CROW REX.
HIGHMoRE, SD, July 27.-The Indians
at Crow Creek are all right, as before
stated. They are chagrined at their own
lack of comprehension on some of the
propositions, and after the commissioners
Ell reconsidered these and signed the
blu. Had they understood, as they say
they should have, at the outset they
would have signed at once.

NEW CIRCUIT COURT CLERks.
SlouN FALLS, s. D., July 26.--Tne main
feature OF the convention proceedings today
has been the consideration OF the report OF
the committee on schedule and ordinance. "A
few days ago a resolution was referred to the
judiciary committee, asking their opinion AS
10 the power OF the convention to pr ovide for
the election OF a clerk Of the circuit court at
the October election, no such provision seem
ing to be made by the omnibus bill.
The committee reported that in their
Judgment the convention had such
power. Then followed lengthy
discussion upon this point. The amendment
was defeated and therefore after the election
of circuit Judges In October, the succeeding
territorial Judges clerks OF court, heretofore
appointed by the territorial judges, will va.
cate their offices and the vacancy be filled by
the several boards nf county commissioners.
Another amendment TO the schedule was pro-
posed, providing for a modified form OF the
Australian system. Here again the question
Of the power OF the convention arises. The
matter was under discussion when the con-

The CONFEDERATE HOME.

Gen. J. B. Robinson, writing from
his sick-room at Waco, makes an APP
peal to the people of Texas to throw
in their dollars to create large fund
for the maintenance of the Confeder-
ate Home at Austin. All these prop
ositions to secure certain sum, no
matter how small from every person
in the state, are lmpracticable, and
impossible of attainment. So far,
with the exception of the rental de-
rived from the temporary State
capital, the Confederate Home
has been supported by all sorts of
schemes, and voluntary contributions.
This voluntary charity is very I'M
certain source of supply, it will wear
out and in time fail altogether. We
suggest that the confederate home be
made state institution, supported
directly out of the state treasury and
controlled by the state authorities.
Let the state be liberal in order that
it may be splendid, comfortable asy-
lum for all unfortunate old confed-
crates who need a home. Let it
be credit to the people of the
state. We want to see this char
lty business stopped. The men
who were hurled into a war
by the politicians of the south, made
the victims of a struggle that fortu-
nately ended with the preservation
of the Union, are entitled to the gen.
erosity Of the state whose cause they
served without money and without
reward. The state owe these men all
that is asked in the building and
keeping up of q home for the more
unfortunate who have fallen in the
battle of life, and now suffer from
approaching old age or from
disease and wounds in a
in a way in which they displayed all
that courage and fortitude which is
citizen.
be said for the Confederate soldier,
which places him on footing of per-
feet equality with his fellow soldier
who stood by the old flag: he laid
down his arms and returned to his
allegiance to the republic and has
kept his faith with patriotism I'M.
equalled in the annals of man; if at
times his martial spirit has been called
forth, it has always been with
the deepest devotion to his whole
country, if a foreign foe is mention ed
the old confederate straightend his
back and proudly points to the flag
OF the Union as his flag.
Give him a home not as a public
charity, but as the payment of a
