Fulton Advocate: The following
from late Sioux City Tribune is
significant. Pierre has been boast
ing of the great number of people
who have taken homesteads across
the Missouri. The object of this
talk is apparent. 1t is intended to
create an impression that the land
west of the Missouri is being rap
idly populated by actual residents,
who will be on the ground next
November to cast their ballots for
Pierre. AS matter of fact the
actual settler in that part of the
state is the exception, while the
speculator, who expects to get his
land as these ioux Cityans ex-
pected to get their land, is the rule.
Such settlers are of benefit to no
one, except the land shark, and
but very, very few of them will
be on hand to vote. Under the
late and more literal rulings of the
general land office in reference to
the character of the residence re-
quired, the number of homestead
entries west of the river will lessen
rather than increase. Pierre will
have but little help from the trans
Missouri country. But listen to
the tale Of woe as told ly the Trib-
une:
Something like score of 500
City men are receiving the sad IN
telligence from the United States
land office in Washington that their
final proof on land in Stanley
county, South Dakota, is void and
their filings on the land vitiated.
Consequently these men are sore.
They recall the hardships endured
in living few days at time in
hastily erected shanties, but most
Of all they mourn the loss of the
S75 which they were compelled to
put up to the man who "located
them"
"We were bilked by those land
sharks, all right" said a victim to-
day who had heard that his final
proof was no good for lack Of legal
residence on the land. "We were
told with much candor and show
of pulp that we might file on these
claims, establish technical resi-
dence by living on the claim a few
days every six months and then

1 vacancy WELL FILLED.

The appointment of Judge Cullen to NIL the
vacancy caused by Judge Parkers resignation
of the Chief Judgeship OF the Court or Appears
will be universally regarded as assuring his
nomination for that office by the RepuDllcan
convention. and there is no reason to doubt
that Judge Werner will be named for the
associate judgeship. The propriety and ad-
visibility of these selections have been heartily
acknowledged by Republicans in all parts OF
the State since they were first suggested by
The Tribune. and the influential leaders OF the
party have confidently expected them to be
made There has been no semblance OF bar
gain in the case or of an attempt to dictate TO
the Democrats The Republican convention, If
il takes the course which party opinion now
points out will act independently in pursuance
of an honorable desire TO serve the State.
It is everywhere admitted that HILL in re-
membrance of the opinion which Justice Cullen
rendered in the matter Of the stolen legislat-
ure is unwilling that he should be nominated
to the Appeals bench, and is anxious to have
Messrs Herrck and Cunneen chosen. If he
wants to attempt the punishment of an I'M
partial and fearless judge and at the same time
to affront further the public sentiment in IA
yor of non-partisan judiciary, he is quite at
liberty, as we have already said, to please him.

TIE CONSTITUTIONAL RALLEK-

Senator Bailey, Of Texas, who opened the Par
ker campaign by speech in Brooklyn a few
days ago. being somewhat disturbed by the
criticism in the Democratic press of his views.
takes occasion to explain them To a Washing
ton correspondent of THE New-York Evening
Post" In the course Of his explanation Mr.
Bailey discusses some phases of the lynchins
evil and manifests regard for law and con
stitutiOnal rights TO which the Parker consti-
tuition clubs may well point with pride His
view is thus reported:
Mr. Bailey says that in the punishment OF one
crime his people do not go far astray in visit
ing instant death at the hands of the populace
and that nearly all thoughtful people of the
South are coming TO recognize this. Mr..
Bailey sees great objections to the palliatives
which have been proposed To make less offen-
sive the trials in those cases for which lynching
he regards as most excusable. He does not
right 10 close the door of his court He does not
believe that any man. with due respect to the
constitutions of most of the States should be
sentenced TO death without being confronted
actually with the evidence against him, instead
OF dispositions and privately obtained state
ments
II is good in these days of 'lawlessness" and
''usurpatiOn" 10 find statesman thus scrupt-
lous of the constitutional rights even of negro
ravisher. Mr. Bailey does not like the law
less Roosevelt, want TO hurry up trials for
rape and transform the courts into more eff
fective instruments for the suppression of this
crime. That would be departing from con-
seryatiye methods and show 4 lack of respect
for law. Mr.. Bailey never would be guilty of
anything like that He is a true Democrat. an
upholder Of the Constitution, a stickler for the
doctrines OF the judicial Parker. Not even
the most deprayed negro shall with his con-
sent be condemned TO death by the courts with
out being confronted by his victim and being
allowed 10 question her about her sufferings.
No judge or jury must condemn him on any
dispositions or privately obtained statements.
No 'palliatiyes" for the present difficulties in
regularly Furnishing the crime can be tolerated.
In the name of the Constitution. all the lumber
ing legal abuses which favor the ravisher must
be preserved. In doing away with them some
safeguard l1f accused innocence might posi-
bly, be broken down Therefore, instead of the
suspected person being legally condemned after
q modified trial. let him be riotousy condemned
without any. Rather than send him to death

To have gone faster than we have already
