The New York Sun says that the Fiftieth

to itself , it pobiitilc , how it got bounced by the
people about a month ago. It remuidh Mr.

he said , "God has given you a good constitu
tion and some sense , instead ot which you go
about the coiintiy stealing ducks. "
Tnr. territory of Dakota cast 114.000 vous at
the congiessinnal election lust month and it
was not a lull vote either. 'Jhis indicates a
population I of overTOO.OUd. The vote in North
Dakota was a little over that east in an aer -
age congressional district in a northern state ,
;
about 35 000. fco there is no doubt of the eligi
] bility of the northern half of the territory to
admission.

The big sister uho is rapping at Uncle Sam's

Eight yeais ago ualitoi nia had a population
if about eight hundred and sixty-five thousand
rhtle curiously enough Nebraska had apopu |
ution ol about half that number. Basing the

n tcad of being six hundred and lirty thou-

iillion one hundred thousand as estimated b3'
he votes cast on November G. This certainly

utstripped California in pi > pulation during

The report that the Chicago pork packers p |
ave formed a trust to embrace the packing
ldustries of St. Louis , St. Paul. Chicago , Q
Imaha , Des Moines. Kansas City and Sioux D
'ity , i not at all improbable. It is well known
nit the pork packing establishments of Kan-
us City. Omaha. Sioux City. St. Paul and other
ities are closely connected with Chicago firms.
ii tact , the foimer were oiigiually branches
the parent houses m Chicago. An under- '
landing therefore may have been reached to
uncentrate the business as much as possible
several of the prominent packing centres ,
his would , of course , necessitate the shimmy
nvn of houses in centers not so nell adapted
ml forcing smaller concerns to the wall. Rut ]
ie formation of a trust in the sense to control „ . .
hsohitely tho pork packimr business of thep. .
ountry is out of the question.
The battle before the jail at Rirmiigham ,
labama.fortho possession of the man Hawes ,
ho is suspected of miirdeiiug his wife and
itughter , appears to have been the most desF
eratc and fatal struggle with a mob in our an- |
als. The mob was uhaltensred by the sheriff §
hen it approached tho jail and ordered to
alt. It disobeyed the order , when the sheriff
nd thposeflied their Winch'-stersand flual-
discharged a Gatling nn into the crowd
he number of killed and wounded is variou-f-
reported fniii : twelve to twenty. Am.mg
icm were the postmaster of the city , a Unitrj [ |
States di-puty marshal and a man from Uos-
ii. It is unusual that punishment of this
Ind is meted out to lynchers , but when men
ttack tho officers or the law they should be
repared for accidents. If every sheriff would
receive lynching mobs in this manner , the f *
lions custom would soon go Into iiniocu us ' '
BSiietude In the intention of the law that is
