And yet the Democracy are crying ex­ travagance. Pierre has doubtless been selected *a the capital of South Dakotfe.

Hie commissioners favor Central Park, bat popular feeling, as reflected in the newspapers, is strongly opposed. If the squabble lasts much longer the question will settle itself. Chicago is quietly rais­ ing money for the fair while her rival is raising nothing but wind. , r j. » IfiT'The latest estimate of " the lois tiff life in the Johnstown flood, made in con­ nection with the new directory which is just out, puts it at 8,500. The exact ftgurss can never be known, but the above is donbtlesss pretty near the truth. One gnat cause of the exaggerated estimates at the time was an extravagant estimate of the total population of the vafiey. But the truth is horrible enough even • this lapse of time.

In each of these there was a sharp contest, which brought out a full vote. All, ex­ cept Montana, are strongly Republican, and the latter State is still claimed by both parties, with the chances favoring the Republicans. In South Dakota, P*rre was selected the capital by a large piaralitT. This will give this bright city oa the Missouri a wonderful boom. > President has not yet appoint­ ed a sucresBor to Commissioner Tanner. Early last week it was thought that Mr. Campbell* of Kansas, would get the place but some one suggested to the President the name of Ex-Governor Hartraoft, of Pennsylvania, and it is now believed that General Hartraufs can have the position If he wishes it, but his friends say it is not likely that he will accept it and he has forbidden the use of his name as a candi­ date.

From our window, with a feeling of indignation we see the impudent little rascals swarming over everything in town.
