Special to the Globe
SIOUX FALLS, S. d., Dec. 31.-"Is
Judge Aikens guilty of the charges
made by Rev. Skillman?" was the ques-
ton asked thousand times today in
this city. Skillman is one of the lead
ing officers of the state enforcement
league. He is known as a Prohibition
ist crank, and for months has been
hunting for Aikens' political scalp. He
is pastor of the Reformed church and
edits weekly published in this city.
Being an officer of the ministerial asso-
citation he called that body together and
told them stories of the assumed
bacchanalian sports of the judge, which
made their hair stand on end. So thor
oughly shocked were they that one good
member, after the statements of the &C
cnser had been made, Immediately
knelt and said: Let us pray, brothers."
The rumors. Skillman claimed, were
Based Upon Facts,
and he knew it. The accusations made
by the moral censor involve a number
of divorce clients who are here, and
there has been hnrrying to ana fro by
that body OF miSmated people who seem
TO fear the searching eye of the
public more than anything else. Very
FEW care to repeat the rumors, and they
have not yet appeared in public print.
The consensus of opinion in this CITY is
undoubtedly in favor of Judge Aikens.
He has scores of friends, who denounce
a busybody. which bases it's action
upon scurrilOus rumors. Editor Cald-
well. of the Press; Hon. Robert Buchan-
an, Sioux Fails, member of the legis-
lature: Melvin Grigsby and Judge
Palmer all support the judge, believing
that the private life of a public officer
should not be assaulted so long as his
official acts are beyond reproach. The
Bar association Of this city met TO-DAY
and passed
Resolutions of Condemnation
OF the acts of the preachers. The meet
ing was an animated one, and the result
was surprise to the divineS. The chief
resolution reads:
We heartily disapprove of aud condemn
the action of any individuals who have pub
ilcly attacked Judge aAiKens, private charac-
ter. believing that such arraignmept is not
the method that gentlemen representing the
near interests of this city should have pur-
sued. That in the pressing of a certain
charge founded on street rumor before a
meeting OF ministers and others recently held
In this city as emaneting from aud receiving
consideration by BODY of Christian minis
tiers, grave offense has been committed.
Judge AikenS arrived in the city from
Canton. but refused to have anything
to do with the reporters. He had moth
ing to say. All he wanted to do was to
meet his enemies face to face and make
them prove their charges.

GOV. BROWN ALERT.
Kentucky's Chief Executive Has
Some Ideas.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Dec. 31.-In his
message to the legislature today Gov.
Brown points out the probability of a
deficit of nearly s5o00oo at the close of

eral government. This money belongs

He calls attention to So, 922, O22 of rail
road property that has not paid taxes,
and says the law exempting roads for
five years from their construction seems
unconstitutional and the tax should be
collected. He finds only eight counties
have collected col nty tax on intoxicat-
ing liquors., and asks that the tax be
collected and negligent officials pun
ished. He finds lotteries still in opera
ton and asks for their suppression.
The legislature completed its organiza-
ton and adjourned till Monday.

CHAPLEAU BUCKS.
French Conservative Leader in
Canada Makes Threats.


OTTAWA, Dec. 31-Hon. j. A. Chap
leau is again, and this time most deter
minedly, at variance with Premier Alb
bott. Not long since he demanded a
more: important Office than the one he
now holds, secretary of state, that he
should be leader of the French Con-
servatives in the house of commons.
These terms were acceded to, though
his new Office was not decided on, and
peace was restored to the cabinet.
Chapleau, who has absented himself for
some time irom Ottawa. has. it now APP
pears, taken umbrage at the course
Lieut.. Gov. Anglers has pursued, and
demands that Anglers shall on M account
be taken into the Dominion cabinet, as
was recently suggested; that Sir
Adolphe Carron. minister of militia,
shall be dismissed, and that he, Hon. j.
A. sChapleau, shall be given the port
folio OF railways and canals.
: Unless these terms are agreed to by
!. Monday next. when the nomination for
-7Richelieu county takes place, he threat
ems to nominate Mr.. Tache for that con-
stituency In opposition to Mr. Morgan,
: the government candidate, and prove
to the premier that Chapleau is stronger
in Quebec than the government, even
at the risk of both candidates being de-
feated and a Liberal elected. This
crisis is considered very grave one for
: Premier AbbOtt's position, unless, as on
former occasions, Chapleau proves weak

clared that MahdlSm has been expiring

that lie was not the true mahdI, and
that his successor, Mahdi Khalifa, pre-
tended to be believer because he
had been nominated to power. Mahdi
Khalifa, who is now forty-three years
old, is losing his energy. He leads a
luxurious life, possessing harem with
$50 inmates. He has abandoned all de-
signs to extend his power northward.
Ohrwalder attributes the failure of the
mahdi's operations beyond Dongola
solely TO the presence of the British in
Egypt. The mahdi means to attack the
Italians at BiShaw. first organizing an
expedition of 1000 troops to take Kas-
