The woman in the case in the
present Orleanist plot to destroy the
French republic is the Countess Of
Paris. She has been spending
immense sums from the carefully
boarded royal treasure chests to
spread the agitation in favor Of the
restoration of the monarchy. The
men of the Orleanist and Bourbon
families have been of frugal mind in
recent times, and their treasure
chests are ample.

Dave Melvin's Ride.

Rapid City Republican: Dave
Melvin, one of the employees at the
chlorination works, will never forget
the ride he took one day last week.
That he lives to tell of it is little less
than miracle.
Melvin was holding one Of the large
belts which run the big rolls while
another man was working the pulley
which adjusts it. AS the belt slipped
on and began its travels at the rate
of 1000 feet per minute Melvin lost
his balance and fell from the plat
form upon the broad band. He was
borne along to the shaft, passing
through an aperture slightly larger
than a mans body, past a brace
which might have dashed his brains
out ard then flirted off at the shaft
upon the platform at the feet of his
companion alive, but daZed and
slightly scratched about the nose.
The man on the platform quickly
caught him and saved a fall to the
floor below. Mr.. Melvin, who is still
slightly lame and not entirely over
the shock, says he fully expected to be
dashed to pieces or torn asunder
when he lost his balance.

During the recent severe snow
storm a cottage at Herzogenburg, a

days without fire or food, and when a
rescuing party at length reached
them two were dead and others, it is
feared, will die.

Hogs are Hogs.

NJ. X. Ashmore, of Artesian, S. D.,
was at the stock yards last week
with carload of hogs of his own
raising, says the Sioux City Journal.
There were fifty-tive hogs in the lot
and they averaged 324 pounds. They
were purchased for the Sioux City
Packing company at s6.75 and netted
the owner $1,140.12. Mr.. Ashmore
has another load of hogs and two
loads of cattle which will be ready
for market about February or March.
He says that there will not be very
great increase in the production of
hogs in South Dakota, as a great
many farmers, attracted by the high
prices, are selling all their brood
sows and pigs. There are a great
many, however, who have great
faith in high prices for hogs during
1893 and are buying up all the brood
soWs they can get hold of. They
expect to give them grerter care than
usaul, and in this way hope to over
come the shortage caused by small
farmers disposing of their breeding
animals.
Paul Thompson, prosperous
farmer Of Hudson, S. D., also arrived
with fifty-three hogs of his own
raising, which averaged 1872 pounds.
They were purchased for the Cudahy
Packing company at $6,824 and
netted the owner S1,l92.05. The
price obtained was 224c higher than
the high point reached in 1888, when
$500 was paid, and was the highest
price ever paid for hogs in the Sioux
City stock yards.

''Society has laws with which to
defend itself against such crimes
as the one done,'' said M. Casimer.

boub in the Chamber of Deputies

The sensational performance of
valiant is likely to have a good
effect. 1t is not the first of the
kind attempted by the Partisan
Anarchists, but it is the most start-
ling, and in its intention at leas,
the most destructive, and it will
only strengthen the determination
of those in authority to suppress all
such violence, but it will arouse
public opinion in Paris to a more
emphatic intolerance of the Anars
chists and their ways.
The conduct of the officers o
the Chamber under circumstance
that might well have excused Il
panic is one of the most 1~e.assurine
manifestations of courage in recenf
French politics. The only OBJECT Of
the Socialists ~agitators is to dis
turb. to keep the country alarmed
and so to compel concessions t
their wild ideals. IF they fail il
this, they fail utterly, and wha'
they mean for a war against society
becomes no more than persona
violence against individuals, fol
which a firmly administered Law
provides sufficient remedy.-Phs50

THE GOVERNMENT DRY DOCK

It begins to look, from current
reading, that Pensacola, Florida
has more than a fighting chance to
secure the location of the Govern
ment dry dock. Efforts in this dis
rection, therefore, should not be
half-hearted.
The report of the original com
mission, deciding in favor OF New
Orleans, was made over four years
ago. and the main reason intiuene>
ing the report was immunity from
the attack of a hostile feet.
At that time the manufacture OF
high power ordnace in this country
was in a stage of extremely doubt'
tul experiment. All of u seaports
on tie Atlantic and Pacific and
the Gulf were practically defense'
less and likely to remain SO fol
some time to come. The further
removed, therefore, an important
work like this dock from the sea
coast, the lees liability CT its de-
structior in case of war.
Now, this has changed. We are
manufacturing guns hat equal II
range and weight of metal thrown
the best turned out on the othel
side OF the water. Fitted in n,oderr
emplacemente. these guns are 6
match for the heaviest ironclads
and the question Of harbor defense
is thus simplifed,
The plans Of the War Depart
ment contemplate the protection o
all our ports in this manner at th'
earliest practicable date. Pensa-
cola, dry dock or not, will have be-
guns and her emplacements.
This objection to Pensacola site
removed, all other consideration
are in her favor and against New
Orleans, except, possibly requisite
depth of water on the bar, and thi
can be obtained by the construction
of ~ietties at a comparatively moder'
ate cost, which would be discounted
to a great extent by the difference
between the towage and pilotag'
charges OF the two ports, and by
the saving Of the continual ex'
pen5e of protecting the New Or
leans ground.
Friends of Pensacola, you have
the opportunity;pus it for all it i
worth,

Joined the noble army of calamity
howlers, He takes out the custo-
mary credentials, files the usual
papers and is a real alarmist. IF
petroleum goes on that free list,
and the Wilson bill has it there
sure enough, Dalzell honesty be-
lieyes that it will break the back
of every oil producer in Pennsyl'
vania' Very sad, of course, is this
sort of intelligence, but there is a
string to the mourning done before
prospective drop in government
subsidies takes place. The home

with the product of Asia Minor
would be bad enough if foreign oil
amounted to anything as a comre'

however, that the rebate on ti1
plate under the Mckinley bill hal
enabled the American producer te
ship and to sell oil abroad more
cheaply than they do at home, and
the government should not b.
called upon to make up any con
tingent loss in the trade. How
