From Guardianship to Sov
ereignly.
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

1!y the explosion of the boilers of the

TUK controversy in London in regard to
the probable supply of the tin mines of

would go to pay the wages of American
workmen.

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

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

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.

Bride and Groom Killed.
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.

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

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.-'.

A WESTERN court decides that a railway
