FRIDAY, JULY 1890.
FOR THE SD CONGRESS.

The unanimity with which the
Democrats of tho Ninth District con.
code tho race for Congress to Hon.
John a. Buchanan, the present mem.
Ter, is deserved tribute 10 that
gentleman. His record in the House
is one such us few men have been
able to make during first term. He
commands the attention Of that body
whenever he addresses the chair bv
1cason Of his honesty. ability and
thorough comprehension of import
ant questions of government. He
went TO Congress Oil business and
has given that business his time and
brains, and the people Of this district
feel that they are represented. that
through him they AFRO 10 longer
voiceless in governmental affairs.
When, two Years ago, John a. Blu
chanan WIS nominated, this paper
not only advocated his election but
also his 10 election, knowing that he
was man WHO would grow in use
fulness year after year, until cventu
ally the Ninth District Of Virginia
could have the proud distinction of
returning one OF the leaders Of the
National House Of Representatives.
He has given earnest of his ability
to attain TO this advanced position
ard most certainly he will be named
AS The Democratic candidate for re-
election.

THE ELECTION AND TAR
IFF BILLS.
Will the Senate attempt 10 pass
the Reed Lodge Federal election
bill?
This question is urpcrmost in all
minds at the present time.
Senator Spoonrr, who seems Ia
have charge of the bill, thinks
chat his party ought to try very
hard to pass the bill ut the pres,
ent session. There will be Il cau-
chs of Republican Senators to de
,-stermine what shall he attempted.
ma Mr.. IIoar and Mr.. Chandler. arc
known 10 be very anxious 70 have
athe bill passed at the present SEES,
sion. ltut there are other Rcpul-
llcan Senators who are either in
different or hostile to his measure.

ncnt Republican Senator as SAY.

for manifest reasons, desire To he
quoted. Yet can state to Won
for publication i'll your own WAY.
that there will he no Federal cIcc
tion law passed mt The first session
of the Fifty-l'irSt Congress- This
is published in a Republican news
paper.
The fact is, That The Republican
party as a whole has not asked for
any Federal election law, anil does
not yet understand what the meas.
ure really is.
Reed has pushed it through tn,
House as the expression of his in
dividual will, and relies ON his
party to back him up in what he
has done.
at The same time he has been
privately saying hat the Senate
was a useless body, and ought [,
he abolished.
1t is known that lie is paitcu
larry DESTROYS of aholislinw In,
present Republican Senators from,
Maine.
s This feeling is fully rcciprocatcd
by them. \ few days ago some
body referred, i'll the presence oi

Nrescntativcs.
"What House do YOU mean

The Dehpcralic Senators can

Die to secure the paSxage of botI
the tariff and thAelcction bills ~
the present sessNn without .
change in the ruler The oldc,
and more conservative Senator
are very reluctant toVnake an,
change III the rules.
1t really looks as if thA elcctio,
bill would not pass at the prcscu
session. Yet it will not do to n
ovcr-con4ident on that score.

The best customers the people q

| PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 25.-Capt. Nor
vile, special agent, has just returned
from Fort Bennett and reports the In
dian war there over. 1t seems now that
the Indians have been afraid of
every body-they have been afraid
would have come in before. After
| the Indians arrived at Bennett Il special
| council of war was held TO determine
whether they would give up their arms
or not. Finally they agreed to. When
| Gen. Miles asked them many OF the
leaders among the Indians acted very
ugly in making final settlements. and
there was great deal OF quarreling
among themselves.

Texas Ambition.


The ambition of Texas is euualled only
By her area. She has lately been having
state convention at Houston to con-
slider the holding OF prior exhibition of
her contributions to the Chicago World s
fair. Dallas came forward with an offer
TO take charge of the exhibit at her great
fair grounds, but the convention, after a
sharp struggle. awarded the show TO
Houston, which city had originated the
idea. Such is the fierce, driving enter
prise of the new state of Texas, and yet
we find Mr.. T. j. Hurley OF Fort Worth
and Boston scolding the Texans at this
convention for lack of enterprise. Said
MIR. Hurley:
If Texas had the density of population now
contained in Pennsylvania she would bave
nearly % eco, COO OF people When consider
that our mineral resources are more varied and
our agricultural domain far superior TO trait
great eo.Wnpponweaih, the question naturally
reply, I'VE lack push and enterprise
Apparently the convention took this
obiugation seriously, and as seriously
meant for its good. There is. indeed. no
limit TO the enterprise that can be put
out with profit upon Texas, considering
that Mr.. Hurley was only speaking
truthfully again in his further remarks,
boastful though they may sound to those
who have not seen Texas:
Let US, in this convention, commit ourselves
to a line OF action which, il faithfully carried
out, will show the wsrld that in agricul ure We
can show corn 10 Illinois and wheat TO Mime
sofa. Cheers. That in viticulture and horti-
culture we can show grapes to 1taiy, varied
fruits TO California, apples to New York and
flowers to all the world, and in minerals let US
show coal to Pennsylvania and New Castle, iron
to the Lake Superior region silver to Colorado,
and lumber enough to house %, 900. 600 of peo-
pie. [Cheers.l Let show the world that
Texas raises something else besides cotton and
