IT WAS stated in the GAZETTE
Washington correspondence three weeks
ago that Mr.. Carter would be chairman
of the national republican committee.
1t now appears that at that time the
President had certainly promised the
place to him, but since then has tried
his best to get somebody else to take it,
and only fulfilled his promise and gave
it to Mr.. Carter becausc no one else
would have it, and that Mr.. Carterisas
well aware of all this as many other
people are. If Mr. Carter be like other
men. the benelitsreceived-for promised
ones from the same quarter could, of
course, have no longer been effective
for the faithful and efficient discharge
of the duties of his new position must
have been great, to have induced him
to accept it under the circumstances.

THE FACT that Idaho called at once
for federal aid in suppressins murder
Gus and inccndiary mob, has induced
some people 10 oppose the admission OF
Arizona as a State into the Union, upon
the ground that, as State, Arizona
would be too weak TO suppress violence
within her limits and would put that
duty upon the federal government. II
Arizona were republican no such objec-
ton would be urged, but the simple
fact That her three electoral votes would
be democratic, al once suggests to some
people the necessity of finding reasons
for excluding her. Wyoming, North
Dakota. Idaho and other States with no
more population than Arizona were
hurried into the Union, because they
are republican, but as Arizona is demo
cratic. she must be excluded, and as no
better reason can be assigned for doing
so. the absurd one referred to is offered.

The Fort Pierre delegation to the Cham
berlain convention, with {; brass band
accompanying them, will come down
on the west side and cross the river
here on the pontoon, There is certain
to be much travel on the west side Of
the Missouri between here and Pierre,
us the distance is twenty-five miles
shorter than on the east side. The
pontoon will also be of great bentit to
stocltmen west of the river. One Of
the heaviest cattlemen in that section
examined the bridge a..duy or two ago
and said he could cross without trou-
lble and safely 1000 head OF stock per
day. The bridge is built to American
Island park aud no doubt during the
democratic state convention this week.
the island will be visited by thousands
'of visitors to the city ut that time
The bridge company will ut once be-
gin the construction of cattle yards

PITTsnuRd, Pa, Aug. 31.--T L.
Thompson, Of Chicago has scheme
to pipe grain from Chicago to tho sea-
board and says it can be done for 8
cents bushel. Mr.. Thompson says:
''rhe novelty OF the scheme lies in the
TACT that it was suggested by q
woman. Her name is Mrs L. L.
Bcasly, of Chicago, and hcr study for
the last year has been a method of
transporting grain, or carrying it
rom Chicago to the Atlantic eaboard
for shipment to Euro C by means of
pipe conduits. Continuous lines will be
constructed with ventilated service
Twelve mites apart and power stations
twenty five miles distant from each
other for the rushing forward OF the
grain.
"What would be the cost of trans
porting the commodity when compared
with railroad freight rates md the
lately increased shipments Of grain by
way of tho lakes and river service
through Canada to tho Atlantic
coast?"
"rhc people interested have figured
carefully and are convinced wo can
make rate Of 3 cents per bushel l
may also state that inside of three
months working model of this new
transportation scheme will be in full
operation ut Chicago. The es.ima ted
cost Of such an initial line is $50, ,oO0,.
n0o, but the ultimate success of this
novel but thoroughly practical service
is already in the nature OF an assured

thoy are. Certainly the prince OF
