Excuse me. but a young man
was sounding the name Mckinley
on the streets the other day, and
n of those angels of reform over
heard it and got red-headed. The
incident had the tendency to turn
my thoughts McKinlegward, SO here
she goes:
The name Mckinley is all the rage;
Ii meets our gaze or every page.
OF all the names we yet have seen,
we would not change it for a queen
The name Mckinley is one Of mighty strength
VIII ont-do ali Others, whate'er their length.
The name ii stands without a stain,
On history's page will ever reign.
The name Mckinley deserves our praise
Has been a true American all his days,
Is not chased about, from pillar TO post,
BY free trade or a populist ghost.
The honored name Mckinley is sung by every
tongue. Al,

And he, in the fall of SO, will get there with

crease in the skirt is one of the
favorite spring costumes. While
the newest skirts for utility dresses
are somewhat smaller, the evening
toilettes of gauzy fabrics retain the
fullness of the past winter, but the
tendency of all skirts OF the present
epoch is to bring the greater part
of the f~ullness in the back. Street
costumes are popular made with an
Elton jacket, a garment which will
largely ~supersede the blazer for the
coming summer. The Elton is cut
rather short on the hips with poin-
ted or square postillion effects in
the back and with afront ornamen-
ted with plain or fancy revers.
The new Louis XIV coat models are
very elegant with wide revers and
with their hip pockets on the vest.
The spring sleeves from the best
New York houses are slightly small
er with a dropping shoulder effect.
Many of the imported sleeves are
made with several %ruffies, jockeys,
shoulder capes. or elbow puffs over
a tight lining. The Bishop sleeve
is the favorite for wash materials,
as well as for skirt waists. This
sleeve is often tucked or trimmed
with bands of insertion. Silk
waists still form part of the cos.
tune, though those in the Louis
form are more popular than the
draped or shurred waists OF last
season. The outside jackets for
. early spring are slightly shorter
than those of last season. They are
tight fitting IN the back with loose
front and turnedover revers. Some

County Association.

On account of the delay in re-
ceiving communications from a
number of the teachers who are
expected to take an active part in
the program, the date for the next
meeting of the association was post
poned for one week, and will occur
at Bristol on April Is, instead of
April IL as was at first intended.
1t Is to be hoped and expected
tina: all the teachers who can will
be with us on that day. We have
been greatly pleased and encouraged
by the laudahle efforts put forth by
many of the teachers at all former
meetings.
There has always been some
drones in every hive, and history
will repeat itself until the end of
time. Where there has been no
lack of energy, there has sometimes
been an excess of egotism which
prompts some people to suppose
that they have reached the acme of
all progress and that v the Gods
could go no further. | am pleased
20 think that We have but few such
cases among the patrons and teach
of the schools of Day County, and
yet | am sometimes led to believe
that such cases might be found.
Let us never forget that
"a little learning is a dangerous thing.
Drink not, or taste not the Pierian spring
Then shallow thoughts intoxicate the brain
And drinking largely sobers us again."
We will have only one more
meeting before the summer yaca
ton. Let there be a general meet
ing all along the line ; then we
shall have a successful meeting and
a royal good time.
The following program will be

WILL OFFER HOME RULE
SPANISH AUTHORITIES WILL en-
DEAVOR TO PACIFY CUBANs.
The Internal Affairs OF the Island
VIII lie Governed by the
Residents Thereof.

Washington, April 20.-The Spanish
government within few weeks will put
into execution a comprehensive system
of home rule or autonomy for Cuba.
There is good reason to believe that the
state department has received from
Madrid information to this effect The
law, which will be put into effect, was
signed by the queen regent March Is.
1895, and will be followed up by rules
and regulations developing the present
scheme of reforms. By the time the
queen regent makes her address to the
Spanish cortes, which assemblies in one
month, the law will be promulgated
throughout Cuba, and the long expected
home rule will be realized. The ele-
ment of home rule is secured by the es-
adjustment of two local bodies drawn
largely if not entirely, from the resi-
dents of Cuba. One of these is to be
known as the provincial chamber of
deputies. the other as council of admin
stration. The latter has appellate jur-
isdiction over the former. Large pow
ers are granted the council of admins
tration in the internal management of
public affairs, but the governor will con-
tinue as supreme representative CT
Spain and will have direct charge Of
military, naval and International ques-
tons.
LATE REPORTS FROM HAVANA.
Havana, April 20.-During recent en-
gagements between the Spanish troops
under General Fort in this province
and the insurgents the latter admit
having lost 50 killed and having It's
wounded.
Reports received here from La Crete's
band of insurgents show very demon
that La Crete is frequently intoxicated
and that of 20 Americans in the expedi-
ton from the United States who re-
Gently joined him five have been killed
and the rest are disgusted. They say
they have been deceived, that there Is
no war, that there is no fighting, and
that they are living in swamps, with
out clothing, compelled to eat bad food
that the agreements entered into with
them have not been carried out, and
that they are without leaders to lead
them to victory.

NEVADA CAN TAX THE LANDS
Decision which Affects Central Pm
cific Property.

Washington, April 20-Justice Brown de-
livered an opinion of the supreme court
today in the case of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company versus the state OF
Nevada involving the right of the state
to tax the lands of the railway company.
The case came to the supreme court
from the Nevada supreme court on a
writ of error sued out by the railroad com
pany.
The state courts held that the state was
entitled to levy taxes upon patented
lands and also lands which had not been
patented, but which had been surveyed,
and on which the cost of surveying had
not been presented. Justice Browns opin-
ion affirms the decision.
If" he said, 1.-The railroads had a pos
sessory claim to the lands, they are taxa
BILE under the statute of Nevada"
Remarking upon the plea that the land
could not be taxed where the government
reserved mineral lands from the grant
ne said:
"If the state has no possessory claim
because the lands are mineral, 1t GER
tainly can not be injured by a sale OF
lands to pay the tax"
He did not think it possible that the
railroad company's enormous land gran
should remain untaxed until the charac
ter of the land as to minerals could b'
| determined.
Justice Field dissented, on the groun,
that the reservation of mineral land
from the grant made it possible t.
determine what lands could be properl,
taxed against the railroad company.
The cases involving the Mormon churcl
property, which was conhscated unde
the Edmunds act, were sent back to tn
supreme court of Utah for final disposal
in conformity with the joint resolution
of congress approved March rs last, re
storing this property to the church.
The decision of the court below was re

THE CHURCH AND STATE
REMARKS AT THE CONSIDERATION
OF BISHOP o'GORMAN.
The Catholic Church Claims No
Mission in Civil and PoIiti-
cal Matters.

Washington. April 19.-With imposing
rites the Right Rev. Thomas O'Gorman
was today consecrated as bishop of Sioux
Falls, S. D., the ceremony taking place
at st. Patrick's churcn, which was crowd
ed throughout the four hours which the
exercises consumed. Cardinal Satolu Of
hciated as consecrator and $50 bishops and
priests occupied the chancel and chapel
and joined i'm the responses incident 10 the
services, while hundreds of other persons
prominently connected with Catholic in
situations were also present.
After the rites of conservation had been
performed the bishop was invested with
cross and chain ana ring OF office. The
cross was the gift of Archbishop Ireland
and the ring of amethyst was presented
by Bishop Keane of the Catholic Univer-
sity. After communion the impressive
ceremony of the kiss of peace took place.
Archbishop Ireland of ST. Paul, who will
be the metropolitan of the new bishop.
delivered an address, in the course of
which he said
THE liberties, the democracy, the spirit
of progress which are the glories of Amer
lea are the outcome of the deepest prin-
ciples of the teaching of the Catholic
church. Liberty and progress came into
the world with her and prospered always
under her breathings. The most positive
| precepts of the Catholic church go to
the building of America. She prescribes
loyalty to the state, purity OF personal
life, charity to fellow men.
THE church recognizes as her own
sphere faith and morals she possesses
and claims no mission in civil and polit-
ical matters. If the church encroacnes
upon the sphere of the state we should bid
her be away. If the state enters into the
sanctuary of conscience. tine proper EN-
pire of the church, the appeal is to God
and the state is ordered to hold off its
hands.
Separation of church and state. as Il
is in America, church and state revolv
ing freely in their separate and distinc
spheres, Catholics fall behind none o
their fellow citizens in admiring it and de
handing it's continuance. The Catholic
church wishes no aid from the state il
the preaching of the gospel.
But liberty from the state she wshe
and clamors for as sacred and inalien
able right, liberty in it's fullest gifts un
der the common law of the land. 1 am

for the national convention assembled 20
day. There was but nttle enthusiasm and
many towns were not represented. Rich
ard +. Comstock presided. The reference
in his speech to William T.. Russell re-
ceived great applause and especially when
he asserted that Russell would be the
presidential candidate and again lead the
party TO victory. George w. Green was
the chairman of the committee on reso-
lutions. The platform adopted endorsed
the administration of Grover Cleveland
especially commencing his energy and
ability in maintaining. unaided by con-
gress, the credit of the nation" Continu-
ing it says:
1T is vital to our people there should
be no departure from the gold standard,
to which all money, whether gold. silver
or paper. should conform, and we are
opposed to the free coinage of silver until
at least four of the great powers OF the
western world shall come to an interna-
tional agreement establishing a ratio at
which gold and silver shall be admitted
to mintage. We believe the Wilson bill
was a step in the right direction and
should be given a fair test. We do not
believe in reciprocity, as it is impractica'
BILE and unnecessary and tends to create
hostilities against u.s."

GOVERNMENT wINKs AT DUELs
German Reichstae EndeRVOrs to
Stop the Bloody Meetings.

Berlin, April 2O.-Herr Bachen, centrist,
in the reichstag today called upon the
house to take action to prevent dueling.
He dwelt upon the public Indignation
caused by the killing of Baron Won Schra-
der by Count Won Kotze. and asked why
the police had allowed the meeting to oc-
cur when they knew of Won Kotzes in
tention to fight the baron.
Continuing, Herr Bachem said that the
prince consort had obtained the aboli-
ton of the duella in England, and asked
why the emperor could not find remedy
for II In Germany.
DR.. Won Poetticher, the minister for the
interior. replied for the chancellor, Prince
Won Hohenlohe, who he said was indis-
posed and unable TO attend. The govern
ment, he asserted, sincerely regretted the
duels, but II could not be blamed for fail
ing to prevent them.
Won Boetticher added that duellists
would always find means to gain their
end However, Prince Hohenlohe was ser
iously preparing measures to assure re-
spect for the law upon the part of al
! classes.
