The State Canvass.

The canvassing board on the national
officers late last night, says Pierre
dispatch of the 5th, accepted and count
ed all returns on electors with the ex-
ception of those from Lawrence and
Butte with the unorganized counties
attached). The returns from those
counties were not counted on account of
irregularities.
While the populists all left the city
without taking any legal proceedings in
regard to the count of electors, it is no "
known that they had drafted papers for
an application for an alternative writ of
mandamus asking for the issuance of
certificates Of election 10 the candidates
shown to have the highest number of
votes on the figures from all counties,
but for some reason they did not make
application to the court for the writ.
At s o'clock tonight Attorney Stewart,

lican electors, appeared before the su

writ Of mandamus ordering certificates
Of election to be issued to the republican
electors on the vote now before the
board, excluding the votes of Lawrence
and Butte counties. which give the pop
ulsts about 700 majority and the leaving

electors majority. The court refused
to grant an alternative writ, but granted
an order TO show cause why perempt-
ory writ should not issue and set the
hearing on the same for 10 a. IN. s tur-

No action was taken in regard to the

The Minneapolis Tribune closes an
extended comment on the late republi-
can defeat in South Dakota with the
following: I'm short, bad crops, hard
times, the mistakes Of the Sheldon ad-
ministtstion, the Taylor and Kellam
scandal, were only incidental to repub-
lican defeat in South Dakota. Petit
grewism. in all that the term implies,
dating back to territorial times when
personal politics feigned supreme and
party organization was a mere fiction, is
directly responsible for the measure of
defeat which has come to the party, for
Pettigrewism is but another name for
selfish, undeFhaadec, narrow and tvran-
nical methods, having only in view the
personal aggrandizement of one man at
whatever cost to his state, his party or
even his best friends And the one
hopeful feature of republicanism in
South Dakota is that it has at last got
rid ofthis incubus and can rebnild its
organization upon q broader, cleaner
and stronger basis, serene IN the conf
dence that the party to which this
malign influence has attached itself will,
before the next general election, be 80
thoroughly demoralized as to offer but
slight resistance to the return of repub-
lican principles in the state"

owned by the Rockefeller company
that corporation may be able to dictate
terms to Mr.. Carnegie and his associates,
instead Of being dictated to.
Mr.. Rockefeller's scheme is not new.
He has had it in mind for several years,
but not until now has he been ready to
put it into effect. His preliminary
movements have, as usual, been kept
quiet. Not until today did anything
reach the public, and then accidentally.
Some weeks ago large plot of land was
purchased in South Chicago. The sellers
were the Calumet Canal and Dock COM
pany. and several private individuals;
the real buyer was not publicly known.
The price was in the neighborhood of
100000, divided into three payments.
The frs. installment was paid when the
deed was signed, and the next two will
be made December IS. II was not nee.
essary that Mr.. Rockefeller should
divide the sum.
The iron and steel busIness-at least
that part of IL dealing in steel iails--is
controlled entirely by Carnegie and his
two allies, the Illinois Steel company of
Chicago, and the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company Of Pueblo, Colo. The
price OF rails at Pittsburg is s2S, at
Chicago $40, at Pueblo s33, whichever
Of these three concerns is nearest the
purchasers, gets the order. Rails cannot
be had of any one else. This is the
situation which Mr.. Rockefeller has
tackled. He expects to make steel rails
from % to 80 per cent cheaper than the
trust can and can sell them much
cheaper. The new mills at South Chi
cago will not be confined to the manu-
facture of steel rails, however, but will
make structural iron Of all sorts as we'll
1t is stated further, and on good au-
thority, that Mr.. Rockefeller may even

site Of the new works is good for a nam.
moth rolling mill. The river at this
point is twenty feet in depth, enough to
float the largest lake vessels, and pro-
vides perfect entrance for the Stard-
ard Oil ships, which will carry ore from
the mines at Lake Superior. These
same boats will serve as powerful whip
in the hands of the Standard Oil mag
nate, in case the railroads attempt to fight
him, for they can also be used for the.
grain trade, and literally demoralize
freight rates in every direction.

President Cleveland's message to con-
gress was read before both houses on
Monday. The message is quite lengthy,
requiring over eleven columns of space
in its presentation in the metropolitan
daily papers. The situation in Cuba is
reviewed at length, but nothing definite
is outlined as to the future policy of tho
government In that direction. whe85
summed up there is little. comfort in it
for either Spain or Cubans, and so far as
recommending any definite action on
the part of the government looking to
the early settlement of the matter, that
would seem to have been referred to
the incoming administration, which
being republican may safely be de.
pended upon to adjust the matter with
that degree Of diplomotic wisdom for
which the party has long since become
proverbial. The president affirms his
faith in the present tariff bill, which he
thinks that If allowed fair opportunity
will yield revenue which, with reason
able economy, will overcome all de-
ficieDcies. all of which is the veriest
nonsense, and it is safe to assume that
his views in this direction will have
little weight among the members of the
body to whom they are addressed. Mr.
Cleteland also urges the retirement of
the greenbacks. another recommenda-
tion which will doubtless receive but
little congressional consideration. He
also urges further and more effective
legislation against trusts, and a strong
appeal for greater economy in public
expenditures, all of which is commend.
able and should be carefully observed.
The document is, in some respects, an
able review Of governmental questions.
more extended reference to which is
necessarily ommitted by reason of our
limited space.

The Yankton Press and Dakotan, in a
recent issue concludes an extended ac-
count Of the Black Hills with the follow
ing favorable mention: "The Black
Hills of South Dakota are now in the
early full tide Of prosperity. The ex.
perimental era has gone by, and it now
builds upon solid foundation. While
the full extent of it's mineral wealth
cannot be known, enough is known to
warrant the claim that it is one Of the
richest Of equal area in the known
world, and to warrant prudent and
snterprising men in building their
homes there and laying their plans for
an active and prosperous life work. A
sare advantage OF the Black Hills oyer
many mineral regions is its natural at
fractions which include a marvellous
S<aimate and most enchanting scenery.

The Letcher Blade thus outlines a
policy for the republicans in the pend
ing session Of the state legislature,
which, If successfully carried out, might
result in blasting the bud of aspiring
populistic hope and greatly tend to the
material welfare of the state. II says:
"The Blade is very much in earnest In
wanting to see the republicans in the
legislature throw sentiment TO the winds
and do business from the very begin
ming 1t would have them name the
speaker as well as the senator. Neither
need necessarily be a populist. The
democrats have IL members in the leg
islature. These IL, added to the repub-
lican strength, would control the situa-
ton. Moreover, the populsts are
divided into two hostile camps and re-
Dublicans could act with one Of these
factions and direct the course of events.
With this double possibility they are in
position to do business that means
business. The Blade is strongly in
favor of taking hand in a game that
offers such inducements"

COmmOncrs Have n Very Quiet but
Iiusy Session.


In the absence of Chairman Grier,
Mr.. Noone presided over last ninght's
meeting of common council.
An ordinance for the purchase of
three ladders and a life belt for the
Crystal Hose company was approved.
A resolution extending the time for
paying taxes until October l, was
passed and concurred in later by select
council.
On motion of Mr. Oliver the resolu-
ton passed az the last meeting award
ing to the Dunn Construction company
the contract for laying the Luzerne
street pipe drain, was recOnsidered ana
the contract was awarded to II. j. Nc
Nulty, it having been ascertained that
he is the lower bidder. The Dunn's
proposed to do the work for $415. Nc
Nuty's bid was $l10 per lneal foot.
The committee made an error in figur-
ing and reported the Dunn bid as the
lower one. 1t was afterwards learned
that this was a mistake and hence the
change. Select council also concurred
in this resolution.

nue. between Linen and Mulberry
streets: for sidewalks and cutters on
