e. B. Smith, of Madison, the following was
introduced as fourth plank: I'VE demand
that silver be restored to its position prior
to 1873.'' The fight which followed was
long one. The convention was equally diyid-
ed between single issue men and the free
silver men. When a vote was finally had on
the proposition it resulted in tie, sixty-nine
voting each way. Chairman F. r. Sebenthal5
of Eau Claire, then announced that he would
exercise his privilege of voting to decide
tie, and would vote in the affirmative. The
uproar which followed lasted for some time.
The single issue men declare that diversing
from straight prohibition will cost the party
thousands of votes. The platform was as
follows: The suppression by law OF the man
ufacture, sale and supply Of alcohol liquors
for beverage purposes, and that all laws msk-
ing either federal, state or municipal gov
ernment parties in its profits be repealed.
Second, that suffrage should depend upon in
telligent citizenship rather than upon sex,
third, that we stand unequiyocally for our
pubic schools taught in the English Ian
guage, and are opposed to any appropriations
of public money for sectarian purposes;
fourth, we demand that silver be restored
to It's position prior to 1873. The following
ticket was nominated: For governor, Maj.

governor, E. L. Eaton, Racine county; sec

PRIVATE PENSION BILLS
Considered in the House Under the
Special Order.


WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE house today,
under the special order adopted last week, de-
voted the whole day to private pension bills.
They were disposed of at the rate Of about
one every five minutes, ffty-eight in all be-
ing favorably acted upon before adjournment.
Among them were bills granting pensions to
the widow Of Gen. o. NJ. Poe, $50; the widow
OF Gen. Jameson $50; the widow of Gen. John
Newton, SIS; the widow of United States Sem
ator George E. Spencer, of Alabama, $50. and
ex-Congressman Smalls, OF South Carolina, $50.
While the pension bills were being consid-
cred the committee of the whole rose in
formally and disagreed to the senate amend
ments to the river and harbor bill, and sent
it to conference Later Mr.. Hepburn Rep.,
Io.) raised the point that the action was ir-
regular and intimated that 1t was piece OF
sharp practice to prevent the house from con-
sidering the amendments in the committee OF
the whole. Mr.. Herman (Rep., ORR disclaim-
ed any such purpose, stating that the object
was to hasten the bill in anticipation of a
presidential veto. The speaker took the point
of order under advisement, and will decide it
tomorrow.

GREAT GROWING WEATHER.
Past Week Has Been Very Beneficial
to Crops.


Special to the Globe
HURON, S. D., May ia bulletin issued
today, from the government weather bureau
here, says the maximum temperature the
past week was from 80 to SO in the shade, with
no unusually cool nights. Rains were light,
but fairly well distributed. There was more
than the usual amount of sunshine. The
combined effect of the high temperature,
cess Of sunshine and amply moist soil was to
cause very rapid growth and development in
all vegetation and the prompt termination of
seed recently planted.
Wheat, oats and grass have made phenom-
email growth; trees have leafed with marked
rapiditp the bloom of fruit trees has fallen
and the fruit is rapidly forming. Seeding of
small grain Is far advanced in the northern
countries and the growing grain elsewhere
has done finely. A little apprehension is felt
that the unusually warm weather may pre-
vent good stooling Of wheat and OATS In the
more southern counties a little fax and
millet has been sown. The planting of field
potatoes is being pushed generally.
Gardens have done remarkably we'll, the
seed terminating promptly and the weather
conditions promoting rapid growth. Con-
siderable corn has beer planted in the CEN
trail and southern counties and some Is
growing nicely, but there appears to be much
