BROOKINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY. DEO. 20, 1890.
DISFRANCHISE BLACK&
SOUTHERN BENATORB WANT THE
XV. AMENDMENT * REPEALED.
■veil * (Uiolntioi to Bo Introduced la
CougreM—Opinion of Prominent Solon*
on Abe Subject— Senator Vance Opposed
to It.
Washington, Dec. 23. —The Post pub*
llshes the views of a number of South*
era congressmen on a proposition,which,
It says, Senator Butler will bring for
ward in the senate before the debate on
the Section bill closes for a joint resolu
tion depriving the negro of his right to
vote, and at the same time reducing
relatively Southern repreeentation in
eongre-s. Senator Butler is reported
aa saying that he will dare Republican
senators to vote for such a measure,
whkh he declares would receive his
hearty support. Senator Pugh declares
emphatically that the South would not
hesitate one moment to give np any
repreeentation based on the negro vote,
if by so doing it could forever eliminate
the negro as a political entity. This, the
senator thinks, is the universal senti
ment of the Southern people, and this he
thinks could be done by repealing the
Fifteenth amendment to the constitu
tion and relegating the powers back to
the states again, as it was before the
adoptAon of that amendment.
Senator Vance says, the Sonth is
Working Out Thl* Bare Problem
to a happy solution. A few years more
and it will be solved completely. As
the negro acquires property he becomee
a better citizen. His interest is identi
cal with the white man and with this
community of interest he is quite as
desirous of good government as his white
neighbor is. Representative Stockdale,
of Mississippi, says that he would be
glad to see the negro question taken out
from politics iu the Booth even if this
resulted iu his losing bis seat iu con
gress. Representative Catching®, of the
same state, raid that to eliminate the
negro and accept the reduced represen
tation would be a happy solution of a
vexing problem. He does not believe
that ifte Republicans will ever adopt
each a resolution es Senator Bhtler pro
poses to offer, because it would result
m the
Political ltttin of Tbeir Party.
Representative Oates, of Alabama,
Bays t wo-thirds of the South are iu favor
of reduced representation in congress
and the electoral college if, on the other
band, the negro population is taken out
of the apportionment calculation. He
denies the Republican claim to twenty
or twenty-five districts from the South,
but is willing to concede them seven or
eight. He acknowledges that the Dem
ocratic legislatures in Alabama and
South Carolina gerrymandered the state
so that all black counties were thrown
into one district in each state, but says
that gerrymandering is practiced by
both parties in the North without criti
cism.
Doesn’t Concern Mills.
Representative Mills, Texas, says
that the question does not concern him
personally, as there are only 70,000
negroes in his state, but he says the Re
publican party will never consent to
disfranchise the negro, even though the
Southern representation was decreased
thereby. If the colored vote was elim
inated, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois, Indiana, lowa and other states
would go Democratic for the simple
reason that the Republican majority in
those states is less than the colored vote.
Michigan, Connecticut and Massachu
setts would also be doubtful Republican
states.
NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS.
Til* Bout* Commute* Hu Fint*h«4 ta*
lIIH--IU ProvUloan.
Washington, Dec. 20.— The house
committee ou naval affairs devoted most
of the day in putting the finishing
touches to the naval appropriation bill.
The bill, as completed, carries appro
priations aggregating $80,000,000 in
round numbers, or $8,000,000 less than
the estimates. The sub-committee that
prepared the bill made no provision for
new vessels, but the full committee in
serted a provision for the construction
of a tripto screw steel protected cruiser
of 7,830 tons, to coet $275,000 without
armament. The construction of a ves
sel of this character was recommended
by Secretary Tracy.
An interesting item in the bill pro
vides for equipment and arms for naval
militia in various states, $25,000 being
appropriated for the purpose. Another
provision allows the secretary ol the
navy to use SIOO,OOO of the $1,000,000
appropriated last session for nickel ore
to make tests in the development of
American made armor.
REMARKABLE COUNTERFEITING.
Bagoi SI G»l4 ri*c** la Circulation
Which Arm Worth Th*lr Far* Value.
Philadelphia. Dec. 23.—The mint
authorities bore have discovered a coun
terfeit $5 gold piece (Resigned and exe
cuted with remarkable skill, that few of
the experts can distinguish the spurious
coin from the genuine. It differs from
the true coin ouly ip size, being slightly
larger in diameter. Xu order to retire
tne spurious coin from circulation the
mint officials will purchase the bogus
coins at tbeir face value and then de
stroy them. The counterfeits have an
intrinsic value of $4.40.
Byraud and Hon-ipard Convicted.
Paris, Dec. 22.— Lyrand,the strangler,
has been convicted and sentenced to be
guilotined. Gabrielle Bompard, his
beautiful accomplice, will spend twenty
years in prison. Kyrand has appealed
to the court of cassation against the
sentence.
Hustings and Dakota Land Grant.*
Washington, Dec. 23.—Representa
tive Hall has been promised by the sec
retary of the intenor an early settle
ment of the Hastings and Dakota land
graut. He went to Secretary Noble
about the matter, and again stated how
many settlers were unable to determine
whether they owned the land they were
on aud had been for many years de
prived of title to lands which they
should have, and asked that the matter
be attended to at once, which the secre
tary promised.
Idaho's Hcoond Governor.
Boise City, Idaho, Dec. 20.—Gov
ernor Shoup, of Idaho, who has just
been elected United States senator, has
resigned, aud Lieutenant Governor Wil
ley sworn in as governor.
THE CLOTURE RULE-
Provisions of the Memo re Proposed te
Terminate Debate In the Senate.
Washington, Dec. 23.—The provi
sions of the clotnre rule reported to the
senate by Mr. Aldrich are as follows:
Resolved. That for the remainder of
*a;a session tne rules of the senate be
amended by adding thereto the follow
ing: When any bill, resolution or other
quest ion shall have been under consider
ation for a reasonable time it shall be in
order for any senator to demand that
debate thereon be closed. On such de
mand no debate shall be in order, and
pending such demaud no other motion
except pne motion to adjourn, shall be
made. If such demand be seconded by
a majority of the senators present the
question shall forthwith be taken there
upon without debate.
More Settisn Than Land.
Rhinelander, Wis., Dec. 23.—Every
piece of water reserve land is occupied
by from one to ten squatters, with new
comers arriving on every train, Many
who made filings at Wausau Dec. 20 en
tered upon their claims at once, but in
nearly every instance found them occu
pied. No serious trouble is anticipated
except in a few instances. Apparently
the most difficult question to decide will
be the “prior right 1 ’ among the settlers.
Hundreds settled upon land within a
minute after midnight, and each
brought hie witnesses to prove his right
to the land.
Important Decision of tho Booth Dakota
tiuprem* Coart.
In the celebrated original package
case of the State against George H.
Chapman and William Noller, on a writ
of error, the supreme court has ren
dered a decision adverse to the defend
ants. This was an action whdrein the
fondants were informed against in the
comity court of Lincoln county for
keeping common nuisance by selling in
toxicating liquors as a beverage.
The supreme court holds that foi the
defendants to receive immunity under
the decision of the supreme court of the
United States in the case of Lusy vs.
Hardin, commonly known as the orig
inal package case,they must show at first
that they are foreign importers or agents
of a foreign importer or beer or liquors.
Second, that as such agents they re
ceived au importation of beer or liqnor
from another state or foreign country.
Third, that they are as such importer or
agents, selling this importation by the
original unbroken package in which it
was imported. Fourth, that they
are not making their houses of
business a tippling concern or
rendezvous of persons bringing
it within the police power of the state
to de lsre it a nuisance. All these facts
must be f ully established by the defend
ants in order to make the transaction
legitimate under the decision. The fail
ure to establish any of these proposi
tions moke a seller of intoxicating
liquor amenable to the state law. The
court further holds that when bottles of
whisky or beer, each sealed up in a
paper wrapper and closely pocked to
gether in uncovered wooden boxes
marked to the address of the agent and
Bhipped from one state to another, the
wooden boxes and not tho bottles con
stitute the original package within the
meaning of the decision oi the supreme
court of the United States. The court
finds the defendants have failed to es
tablish such facts as will entitle them to
any immunity from the penalties of the
state law and*orders that the judgment
of the court be enforced.
flantlnit* nnd Dakota LaoU Grant.
Washington, Deo. 23.—Representa
tive Hall has been promised by the sec
retary of the interior an early settle
ment of the Hustings and Dakota land
grant. He went to Secretary Noble
about the matter, and again stated how
many settlers were unable to determine
whether they owned the laud they were
on and had been for many years de
prived of title to lauds which they
should have, and asked that the matter
be attended to at once, which the secre
tary promised.
NO COMPROMISE NOW.
6ILVER SENATORS WILL DEMAND
FREE COINAGE OR NOTHING.
Said That They Will Unite With Dem
ocrats for the Passage of Back • Meat*
ure—Brown, of BflcbifSD, Horn*
lnated for Anaoelato Justice.
Washington, Dec. 28.—1 t is expected
that the action of the senate finance
committee in substituting the provision
for $200,000,000 2 per cent, bonds to
take the place of the fourth section of
the caucus financial bill, which provides
for the purchase of silver to replace
bank notes retired, will consolidate the
silver forces and it is liable to result in
the adoption of a free coinage bill. For
the past two days the silver Republicans
have been divided, some mistrusting
and some having confluence in their
Eastern anti-silver associates.
Senator Stewart, speaking of the mat
ter, said that the bill as amended is de
signed merely to rehabilitate the na
tional banks and that the silver men
had no iulerest in it. The purchase of
the surplus silver held by a pool was
not a matter in which the advocates of
free coinage were interested.
Probably Combine Wltli Democrats.
All the Republican silver men are in
anindei>emlent frame of mind, and the
indications are that there will bo a com
bination between them and the Dem
ocrats who agree with them. The mat
ter again seems to be at a crisis. The
conciJattry disposition on both sides is
no longer apparent. The silver men
have decided to effect a combination,
aud expect to agree upon a free coin
age bill, with which they will displace
the election bill, next week. The issue
seems to have been made by the neces
sity for the leaders to either yield or
else follow' their own inclinations and
let the tight come. On both sides of the
financial question the time for tempor
izing is regarded as about at an end.
