episcopal church. a returned to New

and three days, three months OF which
were spent in cruising along the west
and southeast coasts OF Africa. Like
most Afro-Americans DR.. Smith a a
hazy idea about Africa, and for a
great many years has had it in his
mind to make a pilgrimage there. He
covered the distance from Sierra Lee
one, on the north to st. Paul de I-o-
,ando on the south, Il distance of 5000
miles. He found that the Europeans
have Il dead grip on Africa, with the
lone exception of Liberia, which he
THINKS should be sufficiently c%olonized
by Afro-Americans to preserve its In
dependence of European Intervention
and control. Many cherished views Of
his concerning Africa and it's people
were undermined by his visit, but he
refused to talk for publication other
than to say that, after all is said, the
United States is the best and safest
spot on the globe for the Afro-Ameri-
can, ana this is q great thing to be
said when Bishop II. NJ. Turner's ro-
bust propaganda of African repatrl-
alton is weighed in the scales. DR..
Smith thinks that those people who
want to go to Liberia should be al
lowed to go. but he wants them to go
right. They should &c with money

Pierre, S. D., Jan 2o.-A few weeks
ago the proposition for a new constitu-

vcrsal favor. Tho senate passed the
bill by a vote of AZ to l.. Many of the
attorneys who have drawn bills and
been bothered by certain features of
the organic law strcnuously favored it.
1t was unanimously believed here it
would be not only desirable but neces-
sary to increase the states limit of
debt and also the limit of taxation,
This was really the foundation for the
movement for a new convention. The

passage there. The feeling against it
has been growing fast, and be.

SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE


PIERRE, Jan. 23.-The resubmission bill
went through the senate today on it's final
passage by u vote of "a to 19. Before the
final vote was taken the antiresubmission.
ISIS made an effort to secure postpone
mlcnt until January 81, and were only de-
1eated IN the attempt by one vote.
The final vote on the measure was then
taken, the result being: Yeas, "a; nays, 10.
some of the lady lobbyists, who have
been working early n late against re.
submission. were in tears when the result
was announced.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the
table.
Thus ends the fight that for two sessions
has disturbed legislation. The result in
sures a warm temperance campaign at the
next election.
At noon the legislature in joint session
ratified the elsction of Senator Pettigrew.
In the senate a mild sensation was Gre
%ated by Senator Foote, who rose to a ques-
ton OF privilege and explained that he had
found in his waste paper basket a'petition
from Brule county that should have been
presented yesterday m which might have
been laid on his table fer him to present,
Or which might have been putin the waste
basket by some political lemy in order to
compromise him.
Among the bills introduced today was
one fixing the tolls Mt grist mills at not
over a fifth and Il bill locating a blind asy-
lum at Gray.
More was accomplished in the house
than on any other previous day of the
session. L
A partial report by Examiner Myers was
submitted to both houses today, but it
will appear in the journal of neither body.
1t was so incomplete as to meet with a
cool reception and was as impolitic u
move as could possibly have been made if
Mr.. Myers had any hope of reappointment.
IN the senate it mot with silent indiffer-
ence, but in the house it was openly ridi-
culed, much to the chagrin OF the friends
of Mr.. Myers.

MAY STOP FORECLOSURE.
The Government Can Compel Union Pacific
Stock to BE Paid Up.

New YORK, Jan. GA lawyer who
has been identified with the Union
Pacific litigation, says hat the gov
crnment will find I'm easy way to stop
foreclosure on the first mortgage to the
detriment of the government lien. In
the first place, the application for per-
mission to foreclose is not made in
good faith, foron the same day interest
on the collateral trust IS and the Utah
Northern bends was advertised to be
paid by the receivers. If the govern
ment SO elects, it will he a simple mat
ter to demand that Union Pacific stock
be fully paid up under acts of 1852 and
1864, when the government lien was
made contingent upon full payment of
par in installments for the stock issued.
Not n dollar was ever paid in and all
the stock, except SO, 900, 900, issued in
recent years could be compelled to pay
par. The matter of innocent holders
does not count, us the
stock can easily DO traced
back to first holders, and they or their
estates can be made to pay. The statute
oflimitations does not apply because
this is an unexecuted contract, an
agreement made with the government
under which the seconds were issued,
and the liability is there precisely as
the liability of n railroad company ex.
lists to redeem q mortgage bond issued
thirty or forty years ago. In his judg.
ment the application to foreclose on
the firs.s vas ill-advised, If it was for

some evidence of considerable interest.

written the letter heretofore men
Iioned. Ho also stated that he never,
hnd had transactions with the treasurer
except two. they being two deposits at
his bank ut DE Smet of $4,000 each.
Court Boyd, a travelling man dealing in
blanks and stationery who is familiar
with all tke county officers in the state
testified that in the summer OF 1892 lie
was in the comfy treasnrer's office in
Vernill lion and there saw II letter writ
ten by Ruth addressed to Taylor, but
sent to the county treasurer presume
ably by mistake. Mr.. Boyd could not
remember the p~hraseology of the let
'er, but stated that its substance
was that Ruth was unwilling
10 pay over at thnt time TINT
100000, and also that he would
aot make the npportionment of the
ichool money which was then overdue
until his return from the east. Mr..
Boyd stated that this letter did not
necessarily iinp,icnte Ruth in any col
iusion with Taylor to dcfraud the state.

CH~AMBERL.AIN, S. H., Jan. 26.-Thc
county commissioners of several coun-
ties in South Dakota are having great
difficulty in settling with the outgoing
county trcasurcrs. In almost every in
stance OF this kind the t%rensurers are
short by reason of having had county
money deposited in banks which failed.
This was the case with Henry Hard
ing, the outgoing treasurer of Charles
Mix county. The commissioners. upon
check ny up the books and
accounts of the outgoing
treasurer, called upon him
for n settlement. The eN-trcasurer
stated that he did not have the money,
but would have it before the board adj
journed. He then borrowed sufficient
money and agreed 10 settle with tho
board if they would allow a bill of $2O5
for clerk hire for tho saar 1893. Every
member of the board voted ngalnst
this proposition. Mr.. Harding again
appeared before the board and ten
dercd the sum OF St, 04a.s9, the
amount of his shortage, less
the sum of S2O5 claimed
for clerk hire. The proposition
was alsorejccted by the commissioners,
but on motion the mount rendered
was accepted as part payment in set
Element with the outgoing treasurer.
However, Mr.. Harding refused to set
tie in this way. The proceedings We're
brought to n close by X. e.. Foster of
Armour taking the money and placing
it in his pocket with the parting snlu-
tation to the board of Good day, gen
tlcmen." The money had been boz.
rowed from Mr.. Foster.
