GOVERNOR OFERRALL's EXPLANATION
Governor o'Ferrall gave out statement last
night in which he defends his course in the
Lunenburg matter. He says his action it, re-
fusing to deliver the prisoners to the sheriff
of Lunenburg was based on telegram from
Judge Mann, who was a special common.
wealths attorney for the county; that his
only purpose was to protect the prisoner.
without great cost to the State He claims
that he did no violence to the tights of the
judiciary of the State, as he was acting under
the telegram, as stated, and sent his special
messenger at once to the judge of the county
stating what Judge Mann had said that ts
had the support of the attorney general, cad
thought he had the support of the special
commonw ealth's attorney, but that in this he
found himself mistaken. He says he fears
that Judge Buchansn's opinion in the SUI
preme Court was hurriedly prepared aud did
him an injustice. He felicitates himself and
and State that the Supreme Court has done
for the prisoners just what he tried to do. and
saved the State the cost of troops TO guard
them,

MANHATTAN FIELD, N. Y, Nov. %.
The gridiron at Manhattan Field this
morning was the scene Of q memorable
struggle for intercollegiate champion
ship honors between the elevens Of
Yale and Princeton. There vera many
approaches by which the battle ground
could be reached but there were none
too many to accommodate the thousands
that thronged to witness the battle
royal. Both Old Eli and fair Nassau
have held the championship against all
colleges in time past and both have

Yesterday at odds of 100 to 20 on, but
this morning there came change the
odds went down to even money and
there was Princeton man always
ready to take all the Yale cash put up.
On the Stock Exchange this morning
was some lively betting and the great
iuanciers of the world were as enthu-
astic as the latest joined freshman.
The average weight of; the Princeton
team is ITO pounds and that of Yale 3
pounds less. The Nassaus average 20
years and months and Yale 20 years
and 9 months. The sons of Old Eli are
goliaths with an average height of
feet ] inches, while the wearers of the
orange and black are medium height
averaging S feet 8 inches. About noon
the coaches commenced to arrive on the
ground. There were coaches draped
in blue and coaches draped in yellow
and black, coaches bearing a crowd
of collegians past and present
and pretty girls with rosy cheeks
and laughter on their lips. The
Princeton delegation sang Bring
Back My Bonnie To Me-" The
New Haven men occasionally hurl-
ed back defiance to the frantic
enthusiasts in orange and black.
Princeton kept whooping it up and
sang "Oh Me, Oh My, How We Will
Lick Old Eli" The Yale contingent
maintained dignifed silence. At two
o'clock the two teams made their ap-
pearance on the field amid the widest
cheeriug, and soon thereafter they
lined up. Yale won the toss. At APO

The grotesque absurdity of the Ed

ent in Washington yesterday, when o
negro who, as a juror, had convicted
one of his own race in that city las
week for the infraction of that Law,
was arrested there for 8 similar of:
Tense, with conclusive proof dead
against him. No man who knows any
thing at all of human, let alone negro,
nature, approves OF any such law.

EIGHT YEARS ago, when the liquor
license tax in Philadelphia was $50
there were 5,77S places 10 that city
where liquor was sold. Now, when the
tax is $1,000, though the population,
has increased nearly one.fourth since
then, there are only 1870 groggeries ii
the city, and at the revenue derived
therefrom is sl,67O,OOO. Why, with g
high liquor license in this State, people
could take drink without becoming
law breakers, and the revenue of each
county would be sufficient to keep the
roads thereof in excellent condition.

DO not favor the declaration known a.
the s~ub-treasury plan. and we believe
tho next state and national plGtform
should drop this measure.
We consider the financial question the
paramount issue Of the day, now recog-
nlzed and accepted by all parties, and
the free coinage Of silver as the phase Of
the question pressing for immediate
settlement, and believe that the energies
Of the Peoples party in the financial
campaign now on should be given to the
success Of that measure.
While we believe in a modified form Of
socialism, such as Is now in force in the
United States. whereby the government
may own ana operate all enterprises
necessary to the general welfare, such al
the p%ostoffice system, the telegraph, the
railroads, ETC., and whereby all enter
prlses necessary to the welfare Of the
state and municipality may be owned or
operated by the state or municipalities.
We are not In favor of an entire recon.
struction OF the government on a social
istic basis as far as private enterprises
are concerned; nor are we in favor OF the
government ownership and operation
Of all means OF production. We cannot
support the extreme measures of social
ism or socialists in their purpose to
carry us bepond the plain declarations
OF the Omaha platform.
1t ls said that the senator had the
support Of Messrs Morgan and Bryan
for his resolutions, but that Messrs.
Kidd and Cranmer, with their v stock
and the proxies they controlled, voted
the resolution down, not considering

livered an address at Lead City ON the

The address of Maj. Aderson at Lead
on the Fourth vas one Of the best wei
delivered IN the Black Hills. he recalled
the circumstances leading up to che
Declaration Of Independence. giving q
short review OF the vital principals Of
the document, and showed how it's
spirits was violated by a recognition of
human slavery in the constitution, and
how that recognition and license Of q
wrong cost the nation oceans of blood
and treasure to expiate. He sounded a
note OF warming as to the grave dangers
that confront US today. He contrasted
the spirit Of '76 which, when we were a
mere handful OF three millions, we de-.
clared our Independence from the
mightlest nation ON earth, but today
when we have seventy millions, our
rulers would make us believe that this
nation cannot exercise the functions Of
government without consulting the
crowpe ed heads Of Europe. He de-
nounced this attempt to make this
nation the tail of Rothschild's kite as
national dastardism." This part of
his speech was wildly cheered.

The Crop Outlook.

The prospect Tor crops in South
Dakota are still good, while in some
places a shower would be beneficial, moth
ing is as yet damaged to any great ex-
tent. On the fourth and fifth Of this
month some damage was done to small
grain, not so much from drouth or hot
winds as from the excessive heat; these
being by many degrees the hottest DAYS
OF the season. In many parts Of the
state good rains fell on the fifth.
