ENGLAND IN EGYPT.

There are fresh rrr:ors that the British are
cbou, to cvacuate Egypt; as basclcss. no doubt.
ne the thousand and ono similar stories OF the
last dozen years THIS time they arc apparently
nroyokci by the announcement that Lord Cromer
cynccts to visit England In April. But there are
nIcnty If other things for him to attend to in
ENGLAND besides evacuation. There was little
reason to suppose year ago that the British
Government had any idea Of relirquishing It's
mold upon the most valuable corner OF Africa,
including the Suez Canal, the gateway to India.
Certainly there is far less now since Russia has
practically gained possession Of Constnntinople
Never indeed, since Alexandria was bombaricd

Final disposition was made in the House OF
Representatives yesterday of n subject which has
proved in the past a source Of considerable lrritA-
ton not only in Congress, but out of ii. lhlS
is the practice of apprOpliatinS public money
for the support Of scctarian Indian schools
Formerly nearly all denominations shared in
these appropriations. but gradually the Protcs-
tont denominations have withdrawn Their app'i-
cations for such moneys. until now only the
Roman Catholic Church is receiving help for its
work among the Indians. The Indian Appropria-
ton bill as reported from committee this year
carried provision for the expenditure of S2'o,-
600 in schools under Catholic control. That
propostion has been voted down and an amend
mcnt adopted forb.ddng the use Of any public
funds for the purpose. This leaves all church
schools devoted TO the education of Indian chill
drcn on an equal footing, where they should be,
and removes any possible ground for criticism
on the score Of favOritism.

DAY COUNTY
David Williams a delegate to St.Louis,

The Republican State Convention
held at Huron the 25th inst. was the
scene Of one of the greatest contests
that the party of this state ever en-
gagged IN and was a great triumph
for the Day County delegation, and
also for our candidate for National
Delegate. The result was also a re-
buke to all would be dictators of the
party who seek to control or make
use thereof.
That the State was overwhelming
ly for Mckinley is too apparent to
comment upon and that the eight
delegates from South Dakota would
be so instructed was a foregone con
clusion. No state platform was
adopted but resolutions were passed
favoring Protection, Reciprocity and
the National Republican Platform
adopted at Minneapolis in 1892.
The delegates selected were as
follows:
1st-L. b. French, Yankton.
2nd-R. f. Pettigrew, Sioux Falls.
3rd-Carl Sherwood, Clark.
4th-David M~izener, Mitchell.
5th-David Williams, Webster.
6th-M. i. Meacham, Gettysburg.
~7th-Capt. W. V. Lucas, Hot Springs.
Sth-Walter e. Smead, Deadwood.
There was no opposition in any of
the circuits except the 9TH, this one.
when the candidates from this cir
cult were nominated, our own candi-
date, David williams, and Harvey
Jewett, Of Aberdeen, were placed
before the convention. Every effort
of Jewett's friends proved unavail-
ing. and David williams was elected
by a comfortable majority.
