JUDGE ToNEY,s OPINION
A Kentucky tourist On Election Refs.

Judge Toney, of Louisville, in an in.
terview, says:
"The proposition is of course beyond
my jurisdiction" laughed the Judge,
but, AZ citizen, do not mind giving
my opinion In my judgement, the elec
lection OF a majority of the Mckinley
electors from Kentucky, would with the
meaning of bet, justify the demand
OF payment by those who bet on Nc.
kinley carrying the State. It seems
to me that when q man bets that Nc
Kinley will be elected President, he BETS
not that he will receive plurality of tho
regular machinery Of election, that is in
Elt ctoral College. So bet on Kentucky
or any other state would contemplate
that the candidate on whom the bet is
made carries the electoral vote of the
state, in which case a majority of the
Electors would indicate viii. b man had
won. have given no thought to the
question, however, and the opinion
have expressed is merely that of a
private lperson.

HIRED READERS.

They Live In Libraries and Dig Out Escts
for Other People.
Visitors to the Astor library have
observed that certain persons appear
there with great regularity, and two or
three faces seem to be as permanent
q feature OF the place as the busts and
white columns. These regulars are
there at all hours Of the day and at all
seasons Of the year. One man in par
ticular seems to spend all his time with
in the walls of the library.
A man whose work on a certain sub
ject took him regularly to the library
made an effort to see what subject was
absorbing one visitor whom he had no.
ticed at work whenever he had been in
the library during the two years pre-
ceding. For month he observed the
man. and found that during that time
the man had been reading industriously
volumes relating to four different SUBJ
Jects. and taking copious notes from
them. He did not look like man
who was reading for the purpose of
general cultivation, and the books he
had been using varied as widely in SUBJ
ject as the history of the Spanish drama
and the Chinese metaphysics.
The hopelessness OF learning any
thing about the mans occupation from
his own observation led the interested
inquirer to ask one Of the library on
cials who the regular visitor was. Then
he tearned that the fellow, like many
OF the others he had often noticed at

The Crop Outlook In South Dakota.
For 1897.

1t requires but small amount of rain.
fall in South Dakota to mature the crop
During 1895 South Dakota had, up to
September 30th, three and seven tenths
inches more of rain fall than for any of
the previous sixteen years. Since Sep
tember 3Oth there has been added At
least three or four inches to the excess,
making q gain of nearly eight inches
more than the average. Early in Nov
ember there were heavv rains, depositing
over two inches, and since then there
have been heavy SHOWS, and about a
foot of snow covered the ground on Nov.
ember 25th. Dakots farmers have abun
dance of hay and great supplies of oats,
barley and corn. Wheat advanced to
about seventy cents a bushel in
the local market, and prospects for
further advance are good. The ground
will come out in the spring better soaked
than ever before. The prospects for
better prices next year are good. There
are Thousands OF people in the East who
could do NO better than to go to South
Dakota now and buy their seed and feed
for nextyear, and move out in the spring
First class farming land in South Dakota,
along the lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee
4 St. Paul railway, can now be bought
at from $40 to SIS an acre. The cream
cry industry and stock raising in South
Dakota will greatly increase during 1897.

become wealthy as street railroad oper-

bringing them up to the present American

A COMMERCIAL MANS VIEWS.

Thinks the business Men Here Favor
Mckinley-Also In North Carolina.
Chas. A. Cotterill, special representative
of one of the largest commercial houses in
the country, and former well-known cor
respondent, was asked this morning by
reporter of The Star for his views regard
ing the effect of the campaign on business
in Washington.
Il cannot recall" said he, "the time
when business was in such demoralized
condition here as 1t is at present. There
seems to be a general feeling Of uncer-
tainty among the men with whom I have
come in contact, and this has led to poll
cy of retrenchment on their part to an ex-
tent far greater than Is generally sup
posed. One fact is made clear, however,
and that Is that while the majority Of the
business men l have seen and talked with
have no vote, by reason of their domicile
in the District Of Columbia. there is an
overwhelming sentiment in favor of Nc
Kinley's election. The feeling seems to be
general among them that with the election
of Mckinley will come an immediate re-
vival in trade, which they anticipate will
continue"
Mr. Cotterin having recently returned
from an extended trip through the south,
was asked for an expression of opinion on
the possibilities Of Mckinley carrying
North Carolina.
while in that state" he remarked, ct
carefully sounded the business men as to
their feelings with regard to the political
situation, and how the election would af-
feet them. 1 was surprised to find the
great unanflnity of sentiment for McKin-
ley. With but very few exceptions they
were agreed that his election meant a re-
newal Of business activity throughout that
state"

Resolution.
Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, October 27.-At a
meeting of the Alexandria Council, No. TO-
of the A P. A. held in this city last night.
a resolution was adopted repudiating the
recent action of President Echols of the
National y. P. A. in attempting. it was
claimed. to draw the association into the
pending political contest. Last nights meet
Ing was largely attended. and it is under
stood that the proceedings at times were
very lively. The general sentiment prevail
ing was one of resentment toward Mr..
Echols for trying at this late hour in the
campaign to draw the association into poll
tics and to hamper the right of every man
to vote as he pleased. The council is COM
posed of members of both political parties.
The resolution adopted was as follows:
Nv hereas, The last annual convention of
the American Protective Association at
Washington in council assembled decided
by vote that neither of the candidates
for President of the United States fully in
dorsed our principles. we. as a body, or
ganiZation or association, would not enter
the present presidential campaign, but
would direct our forces against our county
and state officers: therefore,
BE II resolved. That we. the members OF
Council No. TO- Of Alexandria, Va utterly
repudiate and condemn the action of our
supreme president in attempting to draw
the members of the A. P. A. as an organi-
zat1on into the present presidential election
and be ii further
Resolved, That we do not consider our-
selves bound by the action of the supreme
president. but hereby declare ourselves free
TO vote in accordance with the dictates Of
our conscience, and will cast our vote for
the candidate We individually think best

these United States''

INTEREST AT THE VATICAN.
The Presidential Election Is the Alb
sOrbing Topic.

sOrbinE Topic.
LONDON. October 27-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon publishes a dis
patch from Rome which says:
THE presidential election Tin the United
States) Is the absorbing topic at the Vat
lean. the explanation being the strides
which Catholicism has made in the United
States. now one of the church's larg-
that the standing danger to Romanism in
the United States is the independence of
the American bishops. noticeable since the
time of Plus TX. The latter fully recog-
niZed that these bishops enjoyed greater
power than their brethren elsewhere, and
he showed that he understood this by his
witty answer to some English priests who
asked for certain privileges. He said: L
am, as you say, pope; yet 1 cannot accep;
your request. But added the pontifY with
a slight twinkle in his eye. Il can show you
a way to obtain your desire. Go to Amer
lea. for there the bishops are greater than
the pope
''On the accession of Pope Leo matters
assumed different aspect. He charged
Mgr Satolli with the duty of intimating to
the bishops in unmistakable language the
limits of their powers, and the result was
something like split. which it took Mgr
Satolli two years to heal But his mission
had good results"
Continuing, the correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette remarks that the Vatican does
not desire its representatives In America to
take an active part in the campaign, fear
ing new division in the ranks and appre-
hending at the same time that some of the
more impetuouS bishops might break out
He adds that this feeling of uneasiness at
the Vatican will not disappear until after
election.
