GOOD WORK.

The Result of the Labors of the South Da-
kota Delegation in Congress.
From the Deadwood Times of Satur-
day we take the brief summary of the
work done by our senators and repre-
sentatives in congress the past season:
"This has been long busy season,
and the members of the South Dakota
delegation have had much to do, aside
from Legislative duties, in looking after
their constituents interests in the var
ious departments, particularly in the
pension bureau, general land Office, Office
of the commissioner of Indian affairs,
census Office, the department Of agricul-
ture, and in adjusting the affairs of the
new state generally, and securing right
full share of federal patronage in Wash
ington and at home.
SIT was early agreed, among the
friends of the ex-soldiers, that the wise
course was to insist upon the passage OF
what is known as the dependent pen
sion bill" This bill has been slowly
perfecting itself in congress for years; it
adds at least fifty millions Of dollars an
nually to the pension rolls, and pensions
three-fifths Of the soldiers in our state
all who are disabled, and from whatever
cause. 1t is, in fact, dependent bill
only SO far as it relates to widows and
minor children of deceased soldiers
Senator Moody, who is member of the
pension committee of the senate, was one
of the trainers OF the measure which be-
came law, and his able and mastery
speeches in it's behalf in the senate, had
telling effect. Many private bills have
been put through, and this republican
administration is not yetoing acts grant
ing pensions to widows and children o
deceased Union soldiers.
"Some time ago, Senator Pettigrew in
troduced gill requiring the secretary o
the interior to cause patents to be issuet
at once for all lands entered under Thu
homestead, presumption or timber cul
ture laws, where final proof was mad
prior TO January /, 1889, and an limo
cent third party had acquired an inter
est in the land by deed, mortgage o
otherwise. This is just measure, an'
when passed will do much toward cor
recting the wrongs done the west by th
Sparks administration Of the genera
land Office.

RESULTS OF A WEEK.

The Mckinley bill is less than week
old, and already $40, 900 are pledged
to the erection of tin-plate factories in
Pennsylvania and Maryland. Illinois
has not spoken, but will soon speak, and
in the key of millions. We suggest to
our free trade friends that even $40, 0O0,-
900 is good deal of money. 1t is new
money put into new enterprise; it is
$10.0O0,O00 to be spent, every penny of
it, in building factories, in buying land
to build them on, in buying machinery
to work them with, in buying tia and
iron to work upon. Not cent goes to
any monopoly; every nickel goes into
the regular channels of trade. But this
SIC, 100000 is only the first cost, which
is the least; it has to be supplemented
by constant wage list in the factories,
a constant wage list in the mines that
supply tin to the factories, constant
wage list to those who supply fuel and
iron to the factories, and constant wage
list to the sailors, trainmen and teamsters
who transport the raw and manufactured
material. 1t has, in short. TO be supple
mented by a constant wage fund for,
perhaps, 150, 900 men. Inter Ocean.

George w. F.. Price. president of the
Nashville College for Young Ladies, made
a report. The college continues in the same
line Of prosperity as heretofore.
The committee on episcopacy reported
that it had examined the members of the
college of bishops as to their work and char
acter, and had approved of them all. The
committee also recommended that a bishop
be assigned to reside on the Pacific coast.
CHILDREN'S DAY IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
The committee on Sunday schools recon-
mended non-concurrence in the memorial
asking that the churches separately be
allowed to name the day for chlldren's day.
The committee on missions recommended
non-concurrence in memorial for the ordi-
nation of deaconesses.

laboring class in the large cities with re-
hgious instruction.

from the decision of the Holston annual
conference on a charge of immortality, came
up and was decided by the committee of

HIS HEARTS DESIRE.
In conclusion, he said that the gentlemen
we're very much mistaken il they thought
that the greatest desire of his heart was
not to pass a bill rejecting in the
highest degree the protective system
What he wanted to avoid were such
features as he had pointed out in this bill
there was such q thing as paying too much
for an industry. Such was the case with
tin plate. The duty would be tax on
every farmers patch; on every can of
goods. That tax would amount to s50, 0,O00,-
000 before the manufacturers Of tin
plate could declare dividend. He
was anxious that his party should
not take a false step. He did not expect to
participate much in the deliberations of the
House hereafter. He was quite as ready to
go out as his democratic friends we're anx-
ious to get rid of him when they gerry
wandered him out. He was already out
before they took that action.
After brief speeches by Messrs. Hatch Of
Missouri aud Dingley OF Maine, Mr.. Mo
Millin's amendment was rejected.
THE DUTY ON BoRAx.

borax from to 8 cents per pound, and
argued that borax syndicate in this coun-
try was protected to the extent Of 400 per
cent.
Mr.. Morrow of California submitted that
it came with bad grace from a gentleman
who was protected in bis own business not
by patent only but also by duty of As per
cent, to seek to cut down the protection on
another article.
Mr.. O'Farrell of Virginia read list Of
what he singled out as excessive duties,
laying stress on the duty on ready-made
clothing, which he held was in the interest
of Postmaster General Wanamaker. "You
tickle me and will tickle you; you legislate
in my favor and / will put up campaign
funds" That was the explanation of many
OF these high duties.
The amendment of Mr.. Niedringhaus was
rejected by a vote of 81 nays to 81 yeas.
RATES ON GLUE STICK.
Mr.. McMillin made an unsuccessful
effort to reduce the duty on gelatine glue
and isinglass, which was followed by an
equally futile effort on the part of Mr..
McAdoo of New Jersey to have poppy seed
placed on the free list.
Mr.. Biggs of California offered an amend
ment increasing the duty on olive oil from
30 to so cents gallon. He advocated pro-
lection OF the olive oil industry in the inter-
est of pure olive oil. He was a good demo
crat, but he was not hide hound. His party
was opposed to his amendment but
as an independent American citizen he ad-
vocated the proposition. The amendment
was rejected.
Various other amendments were offered,
but were rejected, and, after considering
13 of the 156 pages Of the bill, the commit
tee rose and the House, at 5:45 o'clock, ad-
journed until tomorrow at IL o'clock.

didate to succeed Senator Beck, spent the
night up to midnight in making speeches to

Eff with an ambitious effort, putting for
ward the name of ex-Gov. Proctor Knott
He was followed by the nominations of
L. I. More. Congressman McCreary and
ex-Speaker Carlisle respectively.
According to the resolutions passed by the
caucus last night, the democrats in
the legislature to-day scattered their votes
compiimenting their friends, and in many
cases voting for each other. This
is to prevent the possibility of rushing
through a nomination before caucus has
acted The republicans voted solidly for
Hon. Silas Adams of Liberty, KY, their
caucus nominee.
The Carlisle men are for pushing the con-
test to a conclusion, but the opposluon
is united on everything but candidate to
control the caucus, and hope 70 wear out

ment for Party Services.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-In the executive
session Of the Senate to-day the nomination
Of William B. Crosby of Mississippi to be
consul general to Ecuador was under con-
slderation. This was one of the earliest
nominations sent to the Senate this session,
out it was held up in the committee on
commerce until day or two ago upon re-
quest OF the Mississippi senators. 1t was
tnen reported from the committee with
favorable recommendation by party vote.
BASIS OF THE OPPOSITION.
=. The opposition to Mr.. Crosby's conirma-
Ton is based upon his alleged delivery to
senator Quay, chairman of tie national
republican committee, of certain letters
written Immediately before and during the
campaign of 1888 by Congressman Catch
Ings to the editor Of Mississippi paper,
ana which by some chance fell into Mr..
Srosoys possession, and the assertion that
e els appointment was practically payment
ior this work.
THE FIGHT ON THE REPORT.
The report of the committee recommend
ing confirmation was antagonized with
vvilgor by Senators Walthall and George Of
mississippi, Senator Vest of Missouri. and
oIhers, while it was supported with equal
eOarnestness by Senators Frye, Cullom,
quay, Chandler and other republicans.
After debate lasting nearly two hours a
vote was taken, which disclosed the lack of
quorum, only thirty-nine senators being
present. Thereupon the Senate adjourned,
''aVlng the nomination still on the docket.

CURBING THE MISSISSIPPI.
More Arguments Heard Upon Plans
for it's Improvement.

IOE us Improvement.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Senate COM
mittee on commerce to-day continued the
hearing upon the plans for improving the
Mississippi river channel.
Henry Flad. member of the Mississippi
river commission, and Maj. Harrod, a civil
engineer of New Orleans, declared them
selves against the outlet system
Col y H. Ernest of the engineer corps, and
a member Of the commission, stated that the
difference of opinion between the majority
and minority of the commission is as to the
effect OF the levees upon the low water
channel, the minority believing that they
have no effect at that stage The
members are united on the general
proposition that the water should be con-
fined to a channel of restricted width. He
believed that the constru ction of the Lake
Borgne outlet would be disastrously dam
aging, in any event, to the channel OF the
river. Col. Ernest said he believed that the
expenditure by the commission for the
building of levees was illegal. He said he
was a believer in the levee system, but
under the commission had no right to build
levees.
PROTECTION OF THE ADJACENT COUNTRY.
H. B. Richardson of New Orleans, chief
engineer Of Louisiana, stated that he be-
neVed tne plans ADOPTED Dy the mississippi
river commission for the benefit of the nav
igation Of the stream were correct. The
protection Of the adjacent territory by
levees, he said, was more important than
the securing and maintaining of a
navigable channel. This can be secured by
the levee system. He was opposed to the
Lake Borgne outlet.
Similar opinions were held by Capt.
Shields of the Anchor line of steamers,
Capt. Moseley of New Orleans. Gen. Rice
of Natchez, Mr.. Yerger of Greenville,
Miss, Mr.. Steele of Natchez and ex-Con-
gresham Moore Of Memphis.
A delegation of colored men from Mis-
sissippi advocated the continuation of the
levee system, one Of them creating quite a
laugh in answer to question by one of the
committee, that if the food water was
'kept at home" ;up north) they wouldn't
need levees down south. The committee
then closed the hearing.

ENGLISH IN THE SCHOOLS.
Chicago Lutherans In Array Against
the New Law,

the New Law.
CHICAGO, May 18.--The first move in the
Lutheran church plan to enter politics for
the purpose of attacking the compulsory
education law was made yesterday when
ex-County Commissioner Senne announced
himself a candidate for the state senate.
At a meeting Of the Lutheran synod at
Springfield it was determined to put up
candidates for the legislature in the dis
tricts where the Lutheran church is strong
est, pledged to vote for repeal or modifica-
ton of the law.
THE CLAUSE AIMED AT.
The particular clause aimed at is one re-
quiring that at common schools the
branches be fought in the English
language, and this is the one the church
desires to have stricken out. Mr.. Senne
said yesterday that the Lutherans would
try to nominate and elect members of the
legislature in a number of northern
districts, hoping to elect enough
members pledged to modification
in the compulsory education law to control
the balance of power in the legislature and
force their point. The Lutherans are al
most all republicans, but in this they ex-
pect the aid of the German Catholics, who
are largely democrats. and between the two
forces it is thought that half dozen dis
tricts can be carried
