There win likely be q wrangle
over the recent election Of Rev. s. w.
Kyle, as United States Senator from
South Dakota. Under the Constitu-
ton of that State the candidate must
receive majority vote of the mem
bers of the Legislature in order to
secure his election, which is IS; but.
Kyle received only majority Of the
votes cast, rs. It is held by some
of the ablest lawyers that Kyle is
not citizen of that State under the
wording of the Constitution-that
he owns no property and pays no
taxes. The HHuronite" says: "Kyle
is simply missionary or agent of
q foreign church society, subject to
its call at any time; that he had no
fixed habitation within the constitu-
tional meaning, and declares that he
was already under engagement to live
in the Eastas as the financial agent of
a Western UNCONVENTIONAL college,"

The grain is said to be brought out
in polishing to degree that makes
it very effective rival of birds eye
maple. The new article is known as
'bird's-eye pine" and there is a large
demand for it in the West, where it
is manufactured into mantels and
other furniture. Cypress and other
woods of the State viii, it is believed,
be brought into use for the same
purposes. The pine of North Caro-

j. Fl. KEYsER, Clerk.

There is just as strong demand
for better roads in New York State
as there are for improved highways
in Louisiana, and Gov. Hill is urging
this reform. His plan is, ''the con-
struction, at State expense, and un-
der State supervision, of two high
ways running transversely through
each county, intersecting at about
the middle of the county or at its
principal place, and so connected as
to form network or well built roads
throughout the State"
Even the New York Tribune, a
sheet which seldom has the honesty
to give credit to Democrats, thus
endorses the Governors views:
"The loss in actual earnings to the
people of New York by reason of
the condition of their roads, always
bad, and often in every codnty inn
passable. is not to be calculated, but
it must be enormous. And yet the
Legislature never finds time to deal
with the matter In the eternal
wrangles of party politics and the
eternal scramble for local favors,
