IO STCNK CITY. DAKOTA
11UDAY, APRIL 27, 1883.
(iruiit county troubles remain about
heretofore. Milbank has fortified
•solf with several hundred stand of
mis which aro paradod with great
-tentatiou around Mr. Snnonds's
prison walls, and to ward off imagin
aiy attacks aro placed in the hands of
v uixotic guards who patrol the streets
night. Traveling men play upon
heir fears and inspire them with such
i thirst for gore that one raid of these
rrorsofthe public treasury, would
ipe Hig Stone out of existence had
1 iiey purchased soldiers to put behind
ie guns. The backbone of the Mil
tnk yeomanry, is stiffened by the
\lse information of their dictator, J.
W\ Bell, to the effect that the sixty
lays in which the people could appeal
i» the Supreme Court, has expired,
and that Mr. .Simomls and the people
!iere have no rights whatever as citi
zens. This willful or ignorant inis
'instruction of the law was designed
create a prejudice in the public
mind against Big Stone that the vio
1'iit measures advocated by the papers
Milbank, might be wreaked against
a law abiding people.
It is doubtful if Bell knows how to
uet a ease before the supreme court,
i ut for his information we will tell
!iim how this one is going to get there.
He and his confrere, Tripp, have both
been notified loa,g ago that a bill of
\ceptions would be taken to the late
lecision^and before the next term of
court in July, a motion for a new trial
would be argued before Judge Kidder.
This motion for a now trial must nec
essarily be denied and an appeal from
tha denial brings the ease before the
supreme court. Sixty days has noth
ing to do with the appeal as Judge K.
I.as granted until any time befuttt the
:-.ext term of court in July.
It may be in ignorance of the law
thai Mr. Knapp and Justice?) Pasco
have committed a grave crime in
falsely imprisoning Mr. Simonds, for
which they or their bondsmen will yet
pay dearly as ignorance does not ex
use from the consequences of a vio
lated law. Every legal and honorable
obligation has been offered theiu to
liberate Mr. Simonds. from the inhu
man treatment to- which they subject
him, but without avail.
The capital-removal problem is
v.orking out its own solution. News
papers throughout the whole territory
are about evenly divided iu their op
posite views of the affair. There is
not so much animus provoked by the
method of locating the new site as is
engendered by thoughts of the result
of the method. One place heads the
anti-removal movement because the
capital is going to be taken from it,
fceverii other leading places join in the
-In ie and cry" because they are not
likely to get it, while still others re
main neutral not caring much where
it is put. In the latter class we find
ourselves. The iinal action of the
Commissioners will determine iu a
great degree its legality or popularity.
Nearly every one concedes Uuit the
capital ought to be more centrally lo
cated. If the commission should lo
cate the capital at either Pierre or
Huron,, it would remain there, as such
action is half expected by the people
and no one would grumble save a ri
val town or two. No better dicision
would have been expected from the
legislature had it made the choice it
i^elf. Should the site be chosen far
tiier north at Itedfleld. Aberdeen or
Vtii at Old way, it would please us
better, and be little liable to be chang
ed, had the people a say in the matter.
Combination in the legislature, had it
ione the woik itself, would just as
likely hav« placed the capital at either
of these points as did the combination
which created the commission to
jdace is there. The method is not of
Mich vita! importance so long as the
n&ult is what will generally satisfy
ti e people. Whatevtc the manner,
the legislature and the governor are
still responsible lor the outcome, and
when this can be proven to be uusat
islactory to a majority of the people,
then will it be time to criticise both
tiie legislature and the commissi^).,
bo long as thev locate it Ht any one ot
the above points, or even on the open
prairie between two of th«m the peo
pi of Dakota, will not be apt to create
new turmoil by calling lor another

The corruptionists want the county
seat and records so badly that they
can almost taste them. Their latest
move is a compromise by which Mi.
Simonds shall be exchanged far tin
records, but they have been plainh
told that no dealings will be had with
them until Mr. S. is first liberated.
Their conference committee consisted
of tho Milbank commissioners. Buz
zell and Dodge, t® whose credit be it
said, they are the most honorable and
intelligent men that have represented
Milbank for many a day. They were
followed by two of the old corruption
ists, Bell and Diggs, but eur commit
tee refused to have anything to do
with them or to be seen even in tneir
company. They were excluded from
the conference room and during the
day amused themselves by sitting on
the corner railings waiting for the ev
ening train. The meanest specimen
of manhood in (Jrant county has never
been a question in the public mind,
save as between these two, but latter
ly it is generally conceded that Doh
ney's character is the more exception
able of the two by as much as the hy
pocrite is a more despicable creature
than the debauchee.
Bob. M^ior, the would-be ''Texas
Jack," found it necessary to apologize
to the people of Ortonville for his re
cent adventure in 15ig Stone. The
truthfulness of his public apology is
only exceded by the classical language
in which it is couched, and the readers
of the Star should feel highly flattered
at being treated to such a choice and
refined essay.
