As it is announced that a democratic

of Dakota in a day or two, the following
telegrams will be read with interest by
our readers.
Jamestown. D. T., Dec. 5.—[Special.]
A constitutional convention which is
composed of delegates from every coun
ty in the territory, convened to-day
The object of the meeting is to promote
the early admission of Dakota into the
Union.
Jamestown, Dak., Dec. 5.—The citi*
sens of Jamestown are taking an active
interest m the mass convention of North
Dakota, which has just convened, for
the purpose of devising some means
looking to the speedy admission of North
Dakota. Reduced hotel and railroad
rates have been secured, and the indica
tions point to a full representation from
nearly all of the counties. The conven
tion will be non-partisan in character—
democrats and republicans alike being
interested in statehood. The basis of
representation is left to the judgment of
the different counties. The convention
is called for consideration and di-cussion,
und what action it will take can only be
a matter of conjecture at this time. The
principal question which it will discuss
will be the expediency and 'desirability
of calling a constitutional convention,
and the project lately agitated of formu
lating a call for an interterritorial con
vention of the two Dakotas, Washington
and Montana, to make a joint demand
upon cungiess for admission.

The Regular Daily Collision.
Youngstown, O., Dec. 5.—[Special.]—
In a collision of freight trains on the
Lake Shore road this morning, Charles
Kennedy, a brakeman, was killed, and
four others badiv injured.
Rosenberg said
“We have an attendance every Satur
day morning and afternoon of upward
of two hundred children, mostly Ger
mans, though there are many Bohemian
and Russian Poles. All instruction is
gived in the German language by myself,
William Gundelach and two o.her teach
ers. Children are taught the ordinary
courses of study and singing.”
"But are -they not instructed in the
principles of socialism:” asked the re
porter.
“Well, we call it 'natural science,’ and
then we have exercises in 'logical think
ing.’ 1 teach the young ones the art of
logical thinking. One must be a logical
thinker to become a true and mentally
well equipped socialist.”
"Does this study embrace any com
ment on religious beliefs ?”
' "Oh, we don t say anything about God
and tho scriptures, otae way or another,”
he replied. "That is. we make no direct
statement in the affirmative or in the
negative in reference to Christian doc
trines. but we teachers, as well as all
members cf our school as ociution. are,
of course,’ thoroughbred free thinkers
aud socialists, and when the young mind
is imbued with the right fundamental
ideas from the start, there is little dan
ger that it will stray into the church
crowd later on.”
From other sources it was learned that
in this and other socialist schools pupils
are taught to regard the rich a? their
natural enemies, who must, as soon an
possible, be overthrown. Teachers take
pains to impress upon their pupils that
because of these rich men and corpora
tions the poor are growing poorer with
the result of soon creating a raoe of ab
jeot slaves. Next the little ones are told
that there is no such thing as a future
life. When man dies he is dead, and
that is the last of him.' His memory
may live, but his soul dees not. In fact,
all religion is sneered at.
Ridicule is heaped upon preachers and
priests, who are denounced as charla
tan? and tricksters, whose only vim is to
get money out of tlieir followers. The
equality of mankind is taught, and the
axiom hammered into the heads of the
children that no man should have an
exclusive right to property er the instru
ments of production. All property
should be in common, as no man could
produce anything or accumulate any
thing unaided. Their object in life, it
argued, is to prepare for a social revolu
lion, in which they are to be active par
ticipants.
Besides the school on Fourth street,
the socialist party controls a similar in
stitution at East Seventy-eighth street
and 8econd avenue, with Herr Bach as
principal, lhe average attendance there
being more than 200 children. Another
is to le founded on the West side, near
West Fifty-fourth street and Tenth ave
nue. while in Brooklyn the socialist sec
tion has no le s than three schools, and
last week an evening school for the prop
agation of socialist ideas among the
young was opened at Zub?tti's hall on
Central avenue, Jersey City Heights.

Springfield, 111., Dec. 6.—[Special.]—
The case of Cobb, Christy & Co., against

, Nashville, Dec. 6.—The American
prints an interview with CoL A. M.
Shook, general manager of the Tennes-
603 Coal, Iron and Railroad company,
j It says:
i The republican organ and mouthpiece
of the Vanderbilt interests since the elec
tion of Mr. Harrison has thrown aside
all disguise in its editorial columns and
daily pours the vials of its impotent
wrath upon the “solid south.” The
. "news” columns of the paper are now
wedded to the same course of malice and
'misrepresentation, as its utterances upon
the u atonal advancement of this section
illustrated. The Mail and Express, wi-b
a fine flourish, proclaimed that the pro
gress of ths south is largely due tc
“Northern capital and northern enter
prise.”
“Thero are two furnaces in the south,”
said Mr. Shook, "operated by northern
Imen. One is the Pioneer furnace, at Bir
mingham, whi.-h is ow ned by the Thom
ases. of Pennsylvania, and of which
(Samuel Thomas is president. The other
is the Eureka furnace, at Oxmoor, Ala.,
six miles south of Birmingham. Th a
'furnace is owned by the Louisville and
Nashvillo railroad company and Cincin-
mati capitalists exclusively,and managed
by Thomas A. Mack, formerly of Cincin
nati.
"The other furnaces in the Birming
ham district are owned and managed by
the following parlies: Slots Iron and
Steel company, now operating four fur
naces, largely owned by Richmond and
Birmingham capitalists, and managed by
Thomas Siddon, formerly of Richmond,
Va., and, by the way, a son of tho old
Conlederate cabinet officer of the same
‘name. There are six furnaces in this
real Mrs. Lolly Belle Wyly of the At
lanta Journal read a poem dedicated to
the foresters by Montgomery M. Folsom.
Among the delegates already in the
city are General Greely, of arctic fame
and now in charge of the government
meteorological bureau; Hon. M. Ferron
brut Mr. Eggleston, of the forestry de
partment of the government at Wash
ington. These gentlemen are assigned
by the Washington authorities to attend
the congress here.
Delegates are also here from Colorado,
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Illinois,
Kentucky, North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida.
Ohio sends the officers of her state for
estry bureau—Hon. Led. Weltz, presi
dent, and James Poindexter, D. D.,
treasurer.
At the joint-meeting in the legislative
hall, General Greely wa. present.
On Saturday, the congiess will leave
for Augusta. Hon. C. R. Pringle, presi
dent of the National Forestry congress,
and Governor Bullock, president of the
southern, will preside alternately at the

It is expected that about 150 delegates
will be in attendance.
Hon. R. J. Jolly, the commissioner

for Strong Language.
Washington, Dec. 6.—One of the
most vexatious duties the president ha,
to perform is to make certain army ap
pointments which may be made from
the civil ranks of life. Often great pres
sure is brought to bear, particularly oi
a social nature, to induce him to take up
some family pet and put him over the
heads of army officers who have fairly
earned promotion. The president ha*
always been opposed to this sort of thing,
and has not had too much patience with
those who have sought to change his
will. One day la t week, a woman, a
society woman, called on him to urge a
civil appointment of this kind. The
president politely but firmly said no.
Then the woman enlisted the services of
a bureau chief, who is on good terms
with the president. The chief called.
"The woman, yofi know,” he said to Mr.
Cleveland, "will not take no for an an-
swer.” "l am glad you have come,” ths
president ret or tel, “for I can say to you
what I wanted to say to Mrs. —. I can't
make the appointment, she knows 1
can't make it; and I'll be d—d if I w ill
make it, even if she brings all the women
in Washington to urge it. ’ The matter
was dropped right there. Even the pres
ident of the Cnited States can be par
doned for swearing in a good cause.

Ugly Charge*.
Columbus, O., Dec. 6.—It fa rumored
that when the general assembly recon
venes in January steps will be taken to
investigate the management of the re
cent so-called Ohio Centennial Exhibi
tion. It i? alleged that there has been
some remarkable juggling of figures in
connection with the recent forty-day
show: There is a large shortage, and
all creditors have been asked to discount
theirj|>i]ls 25 per cent. As none of the
officers’of the board have to furnish a
sworn statement to anybody, opportuni
ty is offered for “addition, division and
silence.”
