PASSED A LOTTERY BILL.
The Louisiana People Succeed in Carrying
Their Scheme In the Choctaw Ma
ton.

AToKA, l. T., March s. While the
attention Of the public was directed to
Louisiana and North Dakota, the
lottery people have been quietly at
work in the Choctaw Nation, so quietly
that the fact was generally unknown
until yesterday, when the laws of the
nation appeared in pamphlet form. The
lottery scheme resembles the North
Dakota proposition in outline and de-
tails, and the proposed inducements
of the Louisiana Lottery Company to
the Sugar bowl State for an extension
Of its charter is conditioned upon the
payment of an annual sum into the
Choctaw treasury.

John Jacob Astor Forgot Six Millions.

At the deathbed of William B. Astor,
father of the late John Jacob, says the
New York Star, after everything per-
tanning to the enormous personal estate
was supposed to be arranged, the dying
man suddenly said:
"John, what did We do with that
six millions of registered U. S. 4s?"
1--WE have forgotten them, father" }"
replied the sou.
What would we better do with
them, John"
u think, father, they'd better be
given to the girls'-his sisters.
"That's good idea, John. Hurry
man to Washington specially, and
have them transferred before I die"
This was done, and the incident is a
suggestive pointer as to the vastness OF
the property held and to be disposed
of.

Fully as many spectators as delegates

requested to take an Endorsement for
the United States senate and give Van
Osdel the governorship. This he re-
fused to do. because it would kill off
his friend Wardall, who is an aSpirant
for senator. VanOSdel, Harden and
Zipp are mentioned for congress. The
Black Hills delegations insist on Zipp'S
nomination. If VanOsdell will not accept
lieutenant goyernorship he will likely
be nominated for congress, thus leaving
Harden out. Some states, it is said.
have been made by the leaders, but the
delegates generally declare that no ar
rangement OF combination has been
made by the leaders. Several delegates
this afternoon expressed a desire that
applicants for Office should state their
claims and give their financial standing.
This didn't suit Wardall, who declared
that no man had a right to inquire into
his financial standing. Joe Bailey Jr.,
of Sioux Falls. is mentioned for treas
urer. 1t is said that the delegations
from seven counties will certainly sup
port him on the first ballot. and possibly
five other counties will do the same
thing. L. L. Polk, president of the Ma
tional Alliance, addressed the conven-
ton this evening.

GEN. FIsK's DEATH.

A temperance landmark has been re-
moved by the death of Gen. CLINTON
B. FISK, the late Prohibition candidate
for president. Gen. FISK was more re-
nowned as a philanthropist than as a
politician, and it was probably his kind
ness of heart rather than his better
judgment that led him into the prOhi-
bition movement. He was man easily
swayed by sentiment. and his generous
nature naturally Influenced him to lend
both his purse and abilities to any move
ment that seemed to be for the anchor
alton of mankind. He had been the
earnest friend of the colored race, and,
after their emancipation, sought to ele
yate them by providing them with edu-
cational facilities. In some Tespec is
his character took an impractical turn,
yet his errors were always on virtues
side. His death is a serious loss to the
Prohibition party, occurring as it did
when the party is as scarce of leaders
as is is of the rank and file.

Louisiana's Senate Overrides the
Governors Veto.

BATEN ROUGE. La, July 9.-TO-night
the lottery question and governors veto
was submitted to the judiciary commit
tee of the senate, with instructions to
report in an hour. The committee. by
a vote of to 8, made the following re-
port, which was adopted by the senate,
thus disposing Of the whole matter:
Whereas, The governor of the state Of
Louisiana has assumed an authority
directly in violation of the constitution
of the state of Louisiana, and danger
GUS to the sacredneSs of the same in
having usurped to himself pretended
power to veto the house bill No. 1,214,
proposing an amendment to the cOnStl-
tuition; and
Whereas. Any infringement by the
executive of the constitution is alive
with great and distressing danger to
the liberties of cur people, and, if per-
mitted, may subordinate the constltu-
ton of the state, the shield of our lib
critics, to the will and wishes OF the
governor; and,
Whereas, Article $50 of the constitu-
ton, in clear and unambiguouS Ian
guage, minute and emphatic words,
declares and announces the mode aud
manner in which an amendment shall
be passed by both houses of the general
assembly, and specially denominates
and appoints the secretary OF state as
the proper officer to promulgate the
said amendment or amendments: and.
Whereas, Under distinct and especial
heading, the constitution, in Article
$50. names and provides that the secre-
tary of state is the proper and only of
fcer clothed with authority to prOmul-
gate the same, ignoring and not men
tioning the governor in anyway, di-
rectly or by implication, except so far
as the PRONUNCIATION of the result; and.
Whereas, The assumption of power in
matter of this kind is without prece-
dent in this state OF elsewhere; there
fore, be it
Resolved. By the senate of the state
of Louisiana in general assembly con-
vened, that in vindicatlon of the con
stltutional righto the people of the
state, and in keeping with the
dignity of this senate, distinct
and separate, though coordinate branch
of the government; the veto of the
governor which is without authority or
right, be respectfully returned to the
house of representatives. and the clerk
of the senate be instructed to furnish
his excellaney, the governor, with
copy of this resolution.
The report was adopted, and the
whole matter is now disposed of. The
senate then adjourned till noon to-mor-
row.

A Gang Works HinckIey With

special to the Globe.
= HINKLEY. Mimi, July 9.-Consider-
sable excitement was created here to-
day by gang of eight or ten tramps,
who tried to burgIariZe several stores
Tabout 2 a. m. They broke into the Wind
esor house and took all the boarder's
DclotheS they could find and searched
fthem. Not finding anything of value
they scattered the clothing in the back
yard. They next made attempt on The
Brennan Lumber cOmpany'S store.
While trying to burst open the door
nMr. Davis was awakened by the noise
) and scared them away. They next
9broke into DR.. Collins drug store and
I stole about 500 worth OF jewelry, but
were noticed by the night clerk of the
Central hotel. He gave the alarm to
the proprietor, Mike Dean, and Mr. Gal
lagher, who secured revolver and

the rear and surprised the burglars with
a shot. They ran to the front and were
ordered to hault by Dean. The gang
started on run and Dean fired and
sent about seventy-fiye small shot into
one of the burglars. Charles Wilson

out a sacrifice of principles on both sides.
The sole issue between the gold and
silver advocates is whether gold shall
be the sole standard of value or whether
we shall have double standard. And
yet for the sake of preserving peace
and harmony i'll the Republican party
both ideas have been deliberately sacri-
feed, and the Republican leaders III
congress have agreed upon mongrel
measure, with the assurance that the
president will sign it in the interest of
harmony.
Whatever advantage has been gained
by this compromise is on the side of
the silver men. The conference bill
provides for an increase in silver
coinage, and yet it goes just far enough
in that direction to temporarily satisfy
the mine owners without settling any
thing in favor of the principle of free
coinage. The Democrats in congress
have wisely determined to oppose this
mongrel bill. They have taken posi-
ton in favor of free coinage, not be-
cause of any peculiar advantage it may
w W tllat OnhO oap W.
cause they believe in the principle of BIZ
metalliSm.
The whole subject can be reduced to
very simple form. If silver is entitled
to be recognized as standard of value,
then there should be no restrictions or
limitations upon its coinage. If it is not
entitled torank with gold in this respect.
it has no place as part Of the currency
of this country. And in disposing of
this subject there is no halfway ground
to stand on.
A party that is honest and has the in
terests of the entire country at heart
would not stoop to compromise on a
question OF such vital Importance. 1t
would take decided stand one way or
the other, and stay there.
The trucking disposition manifested
by the Republican leaders in congress
is bringing their party into disrepute.
1t commands the confidence of no one,
because all legislation is being shaped
with view to temporary expediency
rather than to principle.
