The two Dakotas, Montana and Wash ington are not yet States. They are still Territories. They are, however, now en titled to admission to the Union, since they have adopted constitutions and elect ed State officers pursuant to the act of Con g™**- . ... The only remaining formality required is that the Governor of each shall certify to the President the result of the late elec tion, and the President shall issue a procla mation announcing such result.. Thereupon the proposed States which have adopted constitutions and formed State governments as herein provided shall be deemed admitted by Congress into the Union under and by virtue of this act on an equal footing with the original States from ana after the date of said proclama tion. Until a new apportionment is made by Congres* North Dakota. Montana and Washington will each have one Represen tative and South Dakota two. Each will have two Senators, to bo chosen by the Legislature elected on Tuesday. These eight Senators and five Representatives will be entitled to seats in the coming Con gress, assuming, of course, that President Harrison issues the requisite proclamation in season. That proclamation will be a historic event without a parallel. It will proclaim tho birth of four new States —more than have ever been admitted together since the formation of the government. It will enlarge the Union from thirty-eight to forty-two States, although under an act of Congress the four new stars will not be added to the flag until the next Fourth of July. It will increase the Senate from seventy-six to eighty-four members, the House of Representatives from three hun dred and twenty-five to three hundred and thirty and the Electoral College from four hundred and one to four hundred and four teen. THERE seems to be no doubt that the ex hibit of the United States at the Paris Ex position was not such as to fill the heart of ono who saw it with prijde. Nevertheless there ia considerable consolation in the re port sent to the Department of State by Gen. Franklin, in which he announces that we have received 53 grand priies, 199 gold medals, 271 silver medals, 218 bronxe medal* and 220 honorable mentions. Oil Thursday last Maine dedicated six teen monuments to her troops who fought at Gettyburg, that grand cemetery where, far beneath the moldering bones of gallant soldiers, lies buried "The Lost Canse." VICIOUS horses are no respecters of per son. Three "Western millionaires were flung from their carriages last Friday with as little compunction as though they were the poorest individuals. 1!y the explosion of the boilers of the Steamer Corona, near New Orleans, last Thursday noon, forty lives were lost and several persons injured. The balance of the passengers and crew were saved by the steamer City of St Louis which happened to be near. TUK controversy in London in regard to the probable supply of the tin mines of Daketa is likely to resnlt in the establish ment of an industry iu this country which in a short time would be worth $20,000,000 annually, a large proportion of which would go to pay the wages of American workmen. •FATHER BOTLB of Raleigh, N. C., con victed of criminal assault upon Miss "Whit ■aker, was sentenced to bo hanged Nov. 29. The Next House. Roth parties arc yet claiming Montana on the Governorship and the Legislature, but tho Democrats concede the election of Carter, the Republican, to Congress. This gives the Republicans the whole five new members, and strengthens to that extent the hold of that party in the National House. The membership of that body now numbers 330, of which the Republicans have not less than 169, which is four more than a quorum, and a majority of eight. By the time the House disposes of the con tested election ca*es, and rights sumo of the wrongs perpetrated on Southern Re piiblicans.the party will have a good work ing majority. The significance of the pos session of more than a quorum lies in the fact thivl if the membership were so divided up between Republicans, Democrats and independents as to leave the mujority with less than a quorum, it would be possible for the minority to block legislation on the slightest pretext, and thus make them really the masters of the situation. It is expected the new Congress will so amend the rules as to rob the minority of this power in the future. IT is announced that the Republican del egation to Congress from this Stste is solid for Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, for Speaker. Br the time the delegates to the Inter national American Congress arc through with their trip they will begin to think that this is somewhat of a country, and that there are no winged insects on us. IT seeins that sometimes repairs do not repair. The Mississippi steamboat Corona, which blew up lately, sending about forty persons into eternity, was on her first trip alter having undergone repairs costing about twelve thousand dollars. It may be, however, that the repair* failed to include that most important part of the vessel's interior economy, the boiler. Whatever the cause of the explosion, it adds another to the loDg list of disasters with which the year 1889 will be distin guished in the history of the times. A Breeze on Prohibition. From Tuesday's report of the Erio Con ference at Franklin, as found in the Setts of that town, we take the following: The report of the Committee on Tem perance—Rev. J. Lusher, chairman, and Revs. Blaitdell, Bowers, Warren, Crawford and Rhodes —made things a little breezy. The second of the resolutions read as fol lows: "We regard in truest sense that the traffic and sale of intoxicating liquors has become a great political measure and de mands that all enemies of the saloon keeper unite in one complete and energetic polit ical organization, having for its purpose the annihilation of the evil. Serious objection was raised to this, and the discussion became speedily animated. Dr. Moore fired the magazine when he be gan to say: '•'When I learned that Francis Murphv, when I learned that Dr. Crosby, of New Tork, and that Phillips Brooks, of Boston, were again3t prohibition" —here the speaker's voice was lost in a storm of groans and hisses, and Bishop Foss ad vancing to the pulpit said with an author itative gesture, that "he was surprised at such a demonstration; that the brother had a right to express his opinions and that such further expressions on the part of those present must not be made." Rev. Steadman strongly opposed the resolution and moved it be stricken out of the report. Motions and amendments were poured in, and were voted down or tabled. A strong opposition developed against "fighting politics with politics. An amendment was finally adopted mere ly striking the word "political from the report, amid applause. rh| '""' n anrl Thfi Fair. The sentiment of the Nation seems to be turning towards Chicago as the place for holding the great World's Fair in 1892. Although New Tork ought to be favored by the East as the proper place to hold the great exposition, it is apparent that such is not the case. The niggardly poli cy pursued by the New Yorkers ever since the question of a site was first discussed has predjudiced most people against them. They want the fair, of course, for the mon ey that is in it, the sentiment and associa tions of tho event being of no consequence. If the country at large should put up the necessary buildings and in addition pay largely for looking at the exhibits New York would gladly donate a site of some kind, providing Central Part is not dese crated. "What is known as Gotham represents little sentiment of any kind, particularly sentiment of a historical character. The incomplete statue of Greeley, the inchoate Grant memorial, the dissolving centennial arch, and the airs of McAllister and his Four Hundred are all recent reminders of of the un-American tone of New York so ciety. Editor PuliUer's offer of a SIOO,OOO, pro riding twenty-four others contribute a similar amount, may stir up New York to a proper appreciation of its duty finally, but nol until after Chicago is dnly selected as the place for holding the celebration. The average New Tork millionaire and the average New York citizen are too fond of the mighty dollar to go much on sentiment. The New Dog Law. The new dog law, which applies to all counties of the State, provides for the col lection of a tax of 50 cents for every male and female dog. The tax is to be paid to the School Boards and used by them in re imbursing persons who sustain loss or dam age to sheep by dogs. The persons who have sustained such loss or damage may make complaint before any Justice of the Peace, and the latter shall notify the own er of the dog or dogs causing the loss, and if the owner does not appeal "as soon as practicable" and pay the loss caused by his dogs, the Justice shall notify the township auditors to appraise the loss sustained by the claimants; they have power to sum mon witnesses and investigate tho matter thoroughly, and shall determine and report to the Justice the amount of the deposit if any. All dogs in the State shall be made personal property and subject to larceny. Justices shall be allowed a fee of 50 cents in every case that comes before them. Owners of dogs causing loss may volun tarily pay the damage, without awaiting action. In case there is a surplus in the sheep fund in the hands of the treasurer at the close of the year amounting to SIOO, the same shall be transferred to the school fund of the district for school purposes. Connecticut Dismisses the Amendment. HARTFORD, CONN., Oct. 7. —Returns up to a late hour to-night indicate that the vote on the prohibitory amendment is about 3to 1 against>t. Only ten towns so far reported give it a majority. Tho new secret ballot law received its first trial. There was no excitement at the polls, and in a general way the plan worked exceedingly well. Hartford coun ty complete gave 4,509 for the amendment, and 10,231 against it. NBW HAVES, CONN., Oct. 7.—The vote on the Constitutional Amendment (prohi bition) to-day was as follows: Total vote, 6,681; no, 5,069; yes, 1,613; majority against amendment, 3,455. The Prohibitionists se cured a majority in only ono ward, where they obtained a majority of 48. NORWICH, CONN., Oct. 7.—The vote in Norwich for the Constitutional Prohibition Amendment was 679; against the amend ment 1,864; for license, 1,909; against li cense, 694. WATERBURY, CONN., Oet. 7.- One hun dred and three townships and the sities of Waterbury and New Haven give a majority of 24,000 against the prohibitory Consti tutional Amendment. Waterbury gives 1,976 majority against the amendment. C. R. Baldwin (Dem ) is elected Mayor of this city by 514 majority. Montana May Be All Right. HELENA, Mon., Oct. 7.—The Herald (Rep.) has advices to-night that the Re publicans have elected their whole legisla tive ticket in Madison county, one member frum which has heretofore been conceded to the Democrats. Also, that the Repub licans gain one member in Fergus county. If other Republican claims bold good this will make the State Senate a tie and the House Republican by from 1 to 4 ma jority. Chairman Soligman, of the Republican State Committee, still claims the Legisla ture, aud does not concedo the election of Toole for Governor. The official count in Losch county will be made this week, and that will settle the matter unless the Republicans should in stitute a contest, which now oeems proba ble. Democrats to-day claim the election of Russcl for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Pembcrton for Attorney General, but the Republicans still claim the election ef their entire State ticket be low Governor. THERE are two things about Col. Rain's speeches that Republicans like. One is that he talks like a gentleman, and the other that in his Prohibition arguments he omits mention of the other two important planks of the Third Party platform—Free Trade and Female suffrage. Ilis address here last Saturday night was listened to by a large audience, with respectful attention, and he was frequent ly applauded. Sot'TIL Dakota is reported to hare pone for Prohibition by 10,000, and North Dakota by 1,500. Allan O. Meyers in Jail. COLUMBCS, 0., Oct. B.—Judge Pugh this afternoon handed down his decision in tho case of Allen 0. Meyers, ex-managing edi tor of the Cincinnati Inquirer, and one of the principals in the famous tally sheet for gery cases, who is charged with contempt of court in publishing a letter in the Inquir er, attacking the integrity of the court in the tally sheet trial. The decision was ex pected this forenoon, and Mr. Meyers kept the attorneys and others in good humor while waiting. But the court deferred the decision until after dinner. This afternoon there was a good sized crowd present. Judge Pugh's decision was very brief. He simply said that the Su preme Court had remanded the case for a rehearing upon a technical point, and as the rehearing had produced no new facts it was not necessary to go again over the reasons for the sentence. In deference to the Supreme Conrt's opinion, that the for mer sentence was severe, he fixed the pres ent sentence at 15 days imprisonment and $250 fine. At the close of the decision, when the Judge had pronounced sentence, Meyers, who occupied a seat at one of the tables, looked up and said: "May it please the Court, I wish the order of commitment made at once. I'm ready to go to jail. I suppose." he added, "that I get to go to the new jail. Judge Pugh immediately ordered the Clerk to make out tho requisite papers so that Meyers could be introduced to the county's hospitalities in the regular way. "While the papers were being made out the defendendant put in the time writing at one of the tables, keeping hisjaws work ing mpmiwfrilA nil a mouthful nf trmn. The original sentence as, pronounced ov er a year ago, was 90 days' imprisonment and $250 fine. Before reaching the prison Meyers sent for Mr. Geo. B Okey and had a brief con ference with him as to the proper course to be pursued. Okey advised him to serve out his sentence, which he proceeded to do. Philip Sauter, who is awaiting trial on the charge of mnrder, by consent of the Sheriff, gave Myers his cell, which is a large one, and it was prepared for its new occupant. It is understood that Myers will do some writing for the press while in jail, and will bring suit for damage when out. Portersville.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4. —A dispatch from Jam boree, Pike county, Ky., says: "The old Hatfield-McCoy feud has broken out again and at least three more lives have been sacrificed in a bloody rendetta which has now lasted ovor seven years. The shoot ing occurred at the farm house of Peter McCoy. His daughter was to become tho wife of John Hand, a relative of the Hat field gang, and the members of both fac tions had sworn to prevent the union. Hand had never been connected with the disputes ol the factions, and refused to recognize the leaders. Tuesday night tho bridal party assembled in McCoy's house, and just as young Hand and Miss McCoy stood before the minister a volley was poured through the window, which killed both of them and fatally wounded the clergyman. Reports say that the farmers and mountaineers of thu locality are limit ing for the murderers, but no trace of them has been found. The Ship Canal Commission Appointed. HARRIKUURM, Oct. 9.—Governor Beaver appointed John A. Wood and Reuben Miller, of Pittsburg: ex-Congressman W. S. Shalleuberger, of Rochester, Pa.; Kben Brewer, of Erie, and John M.

Texas fever has broken out in the dairy herds near Erie, and consternation prevail among the owners. Several days ago a lot of Texas cattle, en route East, got out of a car at Erie. They were ferocious, and breaking away from their keepers, some ot , the steers roamed over the city and near byjpasture lands. This started the disease. Fully 20 milk cows have died of it.

KOKOMO, IXD., Oct. 9.—The citizens of Jerome, a small town 14 miles east of this city, arranged for a gas well display Mou day night, and took for the purpose the Diamond Plate Glass well, just drilled there, and the strongest well in the State. A CO foot 4-inch pipe was laid from the well and to this was attached a 4-foot elbow vertically. When the torch was applied the end which projected upward was pushed over on the ground, aud the immense pressure hurled the 00 feet of pipe among the spectators with terrible force. Most of the younger people iu the crowd were able to escape from the roar ing flames which burst from the pipe, but several were caught. Among these was Chusa Warmou, pastor of the Friends Church. The flames struck him full iu the face, and he fell to the ground a corpse. He was burned to a crisp. Frank LaKue's leg was broken. John Hague was fatally burned, the flesh falling from his body.

James Dean, a farmer, has been missing poultry, and a short time before daybreak he heard a commotion in the hen house, and seizing a shot-gun and running to the door saw in the darkness something moving about the hen house. Ho immediately fired and was horrified when he discovered that he had slain his 8-year-old son. The hoy was a somnambulist. THE people of Connecticut appear to vote under the Australian ballot system in very much the same way they would vote under any other method.

A curious instance of cause and effect, and a new proof of Shakspeare's power as a writer. Truly "the pen is mightier than the sword." CLKWINCI gum puzzles the French news papers. They announce that the most elegant American ladies, married and un married, have developed a singular passion for chewing India rubber. THE New York courts caged a humau tiger fur nine years. "Liverpool .lark'' was a man who habitually abased his fellow-man, but his cunning always got him out of trouble when arrested. His latest exploit was to kidnap men in New York anil send them to South America to work or be beaten or starved to death. A New York newspaper hunted the rascal down, he was given a fair trial and con victed and now he has his just deserts. Caging hi in for nine years will take some of the tiger out of him. As EXCHANGE notes the fact that the Canadians are eugaged in a family quarrel over the question of an official language. The French element is so numerous that in Quebec and Manitoba the law requires that all legal notices or enactments mint be published in both English and French. Recently an attempt has been made by the English-speaking majority in the West, to abolish the French language as au offi cial tongue. The French majority in Que bec threaten u« retaliate by abolishing the uso of English in their province. The ex change noting this fact suggests as a rem edy that they bring about annexation to the United States, where one language is found sufficient for all. This is not strict ly the case. Iu New Mexico aud Arizona, and in California until a recent date, all legislative enactments and proclamations are issued in two languages, English and Spanish Is North and South Dakota every voter, whatever the color of his skin or of his politics may be, will be allowed to cast his ballot fairly and freely, and it will be hon estly counted. Between this condition of political affairs and the condition prevailing in North and South Carolina there is a vast and instruc tive difference. It is the difference be tween Republicanism aud democracy. An Insane Man's Deed. An old German by tUe name 01 Conrad luekoltz, residing near the Butler county line in Perry town-hip. near Wurtenibarg, built a fire on the floor of a barn owned by one of his sons on the 25th, and before the family were aware of it. it was all in a flame, and nothing was saved except a team of horses. The barn was full of the past season's harvest, quite a lot of farm machinery and grain of other seasons. It was a large bank barn and the loss is largo and total as there was no insurance. Conrad Ineholtz is a man of some 70 odd years and very wealthy, having acquired several large farms during hi- lifetime. Several years ago bin wife died and he dis tributed his farms among his sons and made his home with bis sou William. For some time he has shown signs of insanity, or maniapotu. from excessive drinking, and had ou several oceasious made threats that he would burn the barn. It is likely that his sons will ask the Court to appoint a commission iu lunacy and that he will be locked up. — Xeic Castle .Vfir.-'. PIERRE, the bustling little town which has been selected as the capital of South Dakota, is experiencing a tremendous boom, -is the capital city of a brand new, energetic Republican State, Pierre is bound to prosper. Its future has a rock fonnda- I tion. A WESTERN court decides that a railway company may not suspend the working of an unprofitable branch, even though the operation of it entails loss. The decision is that those dwelling on the line of the road aro entitled to consideration, having built up their homes and business occupa tions in expectation of being accomodated by the road. Ought not the Fame law to apply to coal mines, such as that ot Con gressman Scott, where thousands have built homes and invested their all iu antic ipation of employment and trade? ■ DEATHS.
