A NUMBER Of settlers in the Mitchell
ferent lake beds under the homestead
laws at the Mitchell land office. The
register and receiver have invariably
rejected the same, and the commissioner
has reaflirmed the rejection and advises
that settlers in order to secure filings on
lake beds which have been returned as
lakes by the surveyors. must apply to
the surveyor general at Huron to have
the land resurveyed. There is as much
as three or four thousand acres Of such
land in this district which are suitable
for settlement and which will make
some of the most productive farms in
this section.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

THE action Of the Mississippi demo-
cratic state convention in declaring the
sub-trcasury scheme undemocratic and
impracticable is the theme OF vigorous
discussion throug hont the entire state.
The straight democrats as whole arc
well pleased with the action. while the
sub-treasury people who claim to be
fighting inside the party, are In bad
humor and assert that the action of the
convention was unwise and improper.
The convention indorsed the records of
Senators George and Walthall by vote
Of at least ten to one. OF the members
OF the legislature nominated to date
about forty-ive are for George, rs
against nine or ten for Barksdale.
THE crisis came at Briceville, Tenn,
where the miners are contesting the at-
tempt to supply their places with con-
victs, when the miners and crowd OF
sympathiZers from the surrounding
country gathered around the camp OF
the state militia, captured the troops
and convicts. marched them into the
depot and put them ON train and
shipped them to Knoxville. liov. Bu-
chanan has ordered the entire state mi
litia to the scene, and collision appears
inevitable.
THE express car Of the Pacific Express
company was boarded a. II was leaving
Texarkana, Ark. aud robbed, Messen-
ger Ryan being held up ut the point OF a
revolver. Only one man seems to have
been engaged in the robbery. Express
company officials will not give the
amount OF the loss.
PROFESSOR JOHN LLOYD, OF Murfrees-
boro. Tenn, was shot six times and In
stantly killed, II IL thought, BY Tom
Morton, his nephew. There had been

buked Morton on account OF his treat

Wheat Prospects In South Dakota.

CROP prospects in South Dakota con-
tinue favorable. In all parts of the
state, except in the extreme north, in
and around Brown county, where crops
have suffered from scarcity of rain
fall, the showing for wheat has never
been equaled. In the southern part OF
the state the stand of corn is unusually
fine, while oats are of thick and heavy
growth. The southern counties have
been blessed with an almost super
abundance of rain and the absence Of
hot winds. The granaries of the state
will be heavily taxed to hold the enor-
nous crop which will be harvested this
fall

He Drove the white Horse.

Interest in the Cronin murder has been
revived by the story sent out from New
York in regard to Peter Dean, the man who,
the story said. drove the famous white
horse Peter Dean is no myth and the New
York story is true in its most important de-
tails. The Chicago police are OF the fun
belief that it was Dean and no other who
drove the white horse which carried DIR.
Cronin to his doom. The New York story
says Dean received $4,000 for keeping his
mouth shut and was afterwards murdered.

1t will utilize the entire force from an

and shack clashtng," Is claimed to have

Mimi, the latter part of June, has arrived

cargo shipped from lake port direct to
Liverpool without being rehandled. The
route was down the lakes from Duluth

The Religion of Public Men.

The tendency OF the times Is to
question the sincerity of the re-
ligious profession of men of public
position. II is a lamentable fact
that from a political point of view,
the popular sentiment among those
Of opposite political faith is that any
public official who makes preten-
sions to a Christian life Is a hypo-
crite. Such sentiment has a demor-
aIizing influence and the riIaldry
of the day concerning the religious
practices of pubic men strikes at
the root of all Christian influence.
Speaking of this IN Utter as relates to
Postmaster General Wanamaker, the
State Register says:
"Isn't there large amount of
denunciation of Mr.. Wanamaker on
the part of democratic papers? The
partisan democratic press Is fond of
railing at the postmaster because of
his religious views. They call him
deacon In derision, aud style him
hypocrite in their insane attempt
to break down his influence. Has
not Mr.. Wanamaker a right to be a
church member and even Sunday
school superintendent? Has he not
a right 10 conduct union Sunday
school meeting in San Francisco?
If Mr.. Wanamaker had attended o
theatrical performance in San Fran
cisco last Sunday nothing would
have been said in criticism in those
same papers. Why has not Mr.
Wanamaker the same right to ad-
dress a Sunday school gathering
that another man has to go out
driving or walking on Sunday after
noon? Why should the fact that
he talks TO several thousand eager
children be entered against him by
democratic papers? Cannot sue
cessful man be religious or take an
interest in Sunday school work
without being hypOcrlteE
"Mr. Wanamaker is the instance
of man successful in business
honored in political life and eminent
ia religious and charitable move
ments. He is in many respects q
model American business man. Nc
one has yet been able to say that be
lacks either enterprise or integrity.
His critics are for the most part in
famed political maniacs and vile
and vicious defamers who have
been less successful, are less respect
ed and less worthy than the man
they attack. Let Mr.. WanamakeI
worship God as 1t pleases himself to
do, and let his public life be judged
by his public acts. All this demo
cratic drivel about the mans 'plety
and his Sunday school hypocrisy is
out of place, and Is detestably small
and indecent journalism"
