Prelatc i'm Hand.

New York. Jan. 1.-THE storm of criti-
cism that has been provoked among
members of the Protestant Episcopal
denomination throughout the country
by the un-American sermon delivered
in Dubuque, Ia, a couple of weeks ago
by Right Rev. w. S. Perry, the bishop
of that diocese, and which was also
notable for it's bigoted references To the
adherents of the Roman Catholic faith,
has developed the fact that this Is no
the first time that the prelate In ques.
ton has fallen afoul OF the country OF
his birth and it's institutions and has
manifested his predictions for the
monarchies OF Europe.
The story is told by a prominent resi-
dent OF this city hat a couple of years
ago, while on a steamship en- route to a
Mediterranean port, he seized the occa.
sion offered by a patriotic celebration OF
Washington's birthday, which had been
organized by his fellow passengers, to
deliver a heated address in antagonism
To the spirit of the occasion, in which
he compared the monarchism of Great
Britain and the imperialism Of Germany

incumbent upon him To come TO the de-
Tense Of his country n his flag In a
speech which was regarded as a cutting
rebuke TO the Iowa prelate. The latter

While acting as chairman of the press
committee of the house Of bishops al
the t~riennial convention Of the Episco'
pal church at Minneapolis, he was pub
licly pilloried for Withholding from the
representatives Of the local and outside
press important proceedings OF that
body, in order hat he might have eN'
elusive use OF such matter for a report
of the proceedings that he had been
hired to furnish daily papers.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
The Senate.

Washington, Jan. 10.-After the
transaction Of some routine morning
business, Mr.. Pritchard, rep, North
Carolina, addressed the senate in advo-

creased duties on clays or earths, lime,

dakota AND WYOMING ROAD
Promoter Coad Confident 1t Will
Be Built.
Bonds to Construct the First Thirty
Two Miles Have Been Sold--
Destination and What
It Means.

Chamberlain, S. d., Jan. Iu.-W. T..
Coad OF Rapid City. the promoter of the
Dakota and Wyoming railroad, reports
that the road will be built; that the
bonds TO complete the first ~thirty-two
miles. from Rapid City to Mystic, have
been sold, and that all contracts have
also been signed.
Mr.. Coad does not know just when
work will be resumed, but II will be in
the near future, and whEl commenced
IL will continue until the road is COM
pleted to the Wyoming coal fields on
the west and the Missouri river on the
east, thus giving the Black Hills a d.
rect route to the eastern portion of the
state and the eastern markets.
Chamberlain is the point on the Mis-
souri, river To which this road will be
built, and the construction of the line
to this point Will be of material benent
TO Chicago and Sioux City, as IL will
bring both cities much nearer the Black
Hills thar the present circuitous route
through Nebraska, or the railroad which
the twin cities are agitating from the
city of Pierre westward. The construc-
tion Of the latter Dad would practically
give the twin cities a monopoly OF he
! Immense Black Hrns ~trahic-now held
by Omaha-a condition of affairs TO
which the jobbers Of Chicago n Sioux
City cannot afford TO submit.
The fact that the route from this city
TO the Black Hills is the most feasible,
traversing as ii does u region suitable
for both agricultural and stock raising
purposes, and already inhabited by sew
eral thousand settlers, and with i'm
mense herds of cattle dotting every
plain, renders it safe to predict that the
first railroad to extend from the Mis-
souri, river TO the Black Hills will have
its river terminus at Chamberlain.
~Soundings have also demonstrated that
Chamberlain is the best point in the
state for the construction of a bridge
across the Missouri river. The intro
duction of bills in the United States SEN
ate and house for permission to con-
struct q railroad and wagon bridge
across the river at this point is now be-
lieved to have been at the request of the
capitalists who are backing Mr.. Coad.
The fact. also, that the bills as intro
duced provide that the work shall begin
Immediately after the bills become law,
and be completed within three years.
would indicate that those behind the
enterprise are acting in the best Of faith.
Mr.. Coad has sacrificed his law practice
and -four years Of his time to the promo
ton of such a line. and now that he has
interested capitalists in the enterprise
his efforts should and will be crowned
with success.

CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEpH KUBLER PUBLISHER

Members of h new house at Wash

the populist congressman. Very few
people of his district had ever seen or
heard of hin. All they knew was that
he was the nominee OF the populist
party I'm that district, n that was suf-
ficient. He had apparently smooth sail
ing until the story got abroad that he
was a lawyer I'VE don't want no
burned lawyer I'm congress- said the
people. and there was a good deal Of
feeling over the matter. One night a
great crowd gathered at a campaign
meeting. one OF the orators was boom-
ing the populist candidate in iowery
terms. when someone In the audience
spoks up: II understand that the man
we have nominated is a lawyer. VIII
you please inform the audience whether
that's so or not?" The orator regarded
the speaker with a ~patronizing smile,
and, addressing the sea of upturned
faces before him, said: Your candi-
date, gentlemen, II is true, was a lawyer
once. | say was a lawyer for he's not
now to hurt, cause he was disbarred.
With that explanation the district went
overwhelmingly for the populist candi
date.

Trouble Is Expected.

Kaufman, Texas, Jan. 11.-Trouble is
expected at the convention Of the Sixth
congressional district here today 10 elect
delegates to the national convention at
st. Louis. Dallas county Is represented
by t~wenty-four delegates. entitled to
east twelve votes, but Chairman Gan
non. Of the county committee, insists
hat the proceedings OF the convention
that designated these delegates were
irregular. inasmuch as. in q tangle over
a resolution endorsing President Cleve-
lands position on the Monroe doctrine,
the convention forgot TO effect perma-
nent organization, n adjourned with
out making one. The majority OF the
convention is composed Of colored men.
If the delegation is recognized, the ma
tional delegates will probably be in
structed for General Harrison. Other
wise the convention is likely to go for
Mckinley.
