Gov. Mellette has designated April
22d as Arbor Day.
The south is being devastated by
Hoods. It is getting a trille moisi. up in
these parts as well.
The people of Rhode Island have
passed judgment upon the huinbuggery
known as tariff reform as expounded by
the chief high priest of the same, one

(iorman and Hill are said to have he

Melbourne, the alleged rainmaker,
seems to have made a miserable failure
of it down in Arizona. He should have
hung around South Dakota for awhile to
get pointers. Could he have closed some
of his one-sided contracts early in the
season he would now be in great repute.
The Rhode Island election, which
was conceded 011 both sides to be signi
ficant in its results, certainly gives
Republicans ample grounds for eneour
agement. The Republican governor
has been elected by a majority of --'u.
and the Republicans have the '-'yisla
ture.
The Republicans of Kimball have or
ganized a league with the energetic L.
A Foote at its head and editor Drips of
1
the Index as secretary. This is an ex
ample that the rest of us might follow
to advantage. The result in Rhode
Island was due more to organization
and the setting out of the full Republi
can vote than to any other one thing.
Whitelaw Reid says that Mr. Rlaine
is not a candidate and that he was sin-,
cere in writing his recent declination.
The attempt by some Blainiacs to make

the secretary of state and does not com
port with the genernl understandiug of
his character.
One frequently mouthed claim with
reference to the Rhode Island result
was that the operation of the Australi
an ballot law would operate to the ad
vantage of the Democrats in the cities.
And yet the Republicans made large
gains in those same cities among the
very class which the law was intended
to more fully protect in the exercise of
the right of suffrage. Isn't it about
time that the party of Hill and of
Brice. with all that their methods im
ply. cease prating about Republican
corruption .'
Some of the free silver Republican
senators make the threat that Mr. Har
rison will lose several western states
because of his position 011 the silver
question. Will they kindly inform an
anxious western constituency, which
may not be as hopelessly wedded to
their notions as they imagine, what
eminent Republican, outside of the sil
ver producing states.slands 011 any
differ
ent platform as to silver than does Mr.
Harrison? Is it Mr. Blaine, whose !et
of withdrawal emphasized the nec
essity of sustaining the financial record
of the Republican party? Is it Gov.
McKiuley. who has just helped to win a
signal victory 111 Rhode Island by stand
ing as firmlv for honest money as for
protection? Is it Senator Allison,
whose record 011 finance is only less
clear and unmistakable than that of
Senator Sherman? Is it Senator Cu!
lom. whose state of Illinois would re
pudiate the free silver heresy as repres
ented by the Bland bill, the untimely
demise of which Senator Wolcolt so bi
terly mourns, as quickly and emphatic
ally as would New York? Is it Gen.
Alger, whose state of Michigan has had
one bitter experience with tt tiat
notion and is now solidly in the ranks
of honest money communities.' Or is it
'•Jerry" Rusk, wha numbers in his con
stituency so large a number of hard
headed Germans, than whom a sound
linancial policy has no lirmer adherents.
The people of the western states, who
have been held up in congress as wildly
clamoring for free silver regardless or
all other conditions, are entitled to
light on this important question.

The Aberdeen News is disposed to
wax sarcastic over the fact that Gov.
Mellette's range of vision does not seem
to extend as far north as it ought.
Speaking of recent appointments the
News says:
The News has no fault to find with
the persons selected. It has not a
doubt but that they are each well quali
fied for the position assigned to them.
But it does desire to assure the Gov

South Dakota into two states that

Frank Hatton says:
President Arthur was endorsed by
thirty-six out of thirty-eight states in
lS84.'and yet the convention turned him
down for Blaine. The officeholders
cannot dictate presidential nominations.
But out this way it looks as if they
could not prevent them, either. Had
those thirty-fix states instructed for
Arthur, instead of fulsomely "indors
ing" him and then electing delegates
opposed to his nomination, he would
have been without question his own
successor in the White House—and
Frank Hatton knows it.

'i
No: but the daily press has presented
some lifelike photographs of South Da

sprang into prominence that have not
been very flattering to him. nor compli
mentary to the judgment of the unholy
and incongruous combination that put
him where he is. Senator Kyle has
good reason for disliking the daily press
Sioux Falls Press: The Aberdeen
News, THE MITCHELL REPUBLICAN
and some other papers are disposed to
criticise Governor Mellette's appoint
ment of Judge Smith as railway com
missioner. They probably do not appre
ciate the pressure which was brought to
bear upon the governor.
But the pressure of a few personal
friends ought not to have outweighed
with the Governor the strong and un
mistakable pressure of the best inter
ests of the party as a whole, under ex
isting conditions. THE REPUBLICAN"
does not wish to be understood as im
plying that Judge Smith will not make
an efficient commissioner, but the same
reasons which impelled his colleagues
in the senate to object to his con tiluna
tion exist today as certainly as they did
then.
The law and order people of Sioux
Falls have nominated E. B. Meredith as
their candidate for mayor. The is
one thing the citizens of Mitchell have
reason to feel proud of. Such an issue
could not be raised here with any de
gree of success: for while there has un
doubtedly been some illegal selling of
liquor in this town there has been 110
disposition on the part of the city au
thorities since the prohibition law went
into effect to tolerate violation of the
same. And yet a majority of the city
council, as well as the mayor himself,
has been opposed in belief to prohibi
tion during the entire period referred
to. It is one thing to be honestly op
posed to the principle of a law: it is
quite another to bring disrespect on all
law by openly countenancing and en
couraging the violation of the objec
tionable measure.
As usual the Washington correspon
dents had a terrific combat on at Wash
ington letween Senator' Pettigrew and
the administration over the vacancy to
be filled in the Watertowij land office.
It turns out. however, that Frank Phil
lips of Watertown has received the ap
pointment without a struggle, and that
Senator Pettigrew will put his confir
mation through at the same time that
he secures that of his friend Lillibridge
for agent at the Cheyenne agency, who
was appointed at the same time Phil
lips
was. And all this without even a
suspicion of a scrap. The fact is that
if a ioeal reporter on any of the north
western papers were to jjerpetrate a
tenth part of the fakes in the city de
partment that the Washington chaps
send out over the wire he would hardly
hold his job long enough to sign a
voucher for his salary. I"t is time for

When a Republican papers tires at
one of the Independent outfit, who un
der the cloak of reform is engaged in
the most contemptible methods of mak
ing party capital, the whole pack of
mongrels sets up a howl. A case in
point is the smoking out of little Tom
my Ayers, recently convicted on his own
confession of both forgery and perjury.
Senator Kyle succeeded under the
rules of the senate in delaying the con
tirmation of the veteran Lillibridge as
agent at the Cheyenne agency. Mr.
ICyle's efforts in the direction of reform
these days are cliielly devoted to block
ing whatever Senator Pettigrew may
lie trying to accomplish. He has even
let up on booming his divorce amend
ment to the constitution.
About the only result of the Raum
investigation thus far has l)een to con
vict the private secretary of Congress
man Cooper, who instigated the inves
tigation. of using his position for the
purpose of extorting money from appli
cants for pensions. The investigation
has come very close to Cooper's own
door, although nothing has lieen devel
oped to implicate him as yet. except

The government winter wheat report
shows the condition of the crop in
Ohio. Indiana. Michigan. Illinois and
Missouri to be 20 per cent, worse than
it was a year ago at this lime. This
cloud, however, has a silver lining in
that it insures a greater demand for the
spring wheat of the northwest. And
when some practicable plan shall have
been devised to prevent gambling in
fictitious wheat the farmers of this sec
tion will be assured of better average
prices for their product. The unprece-

DON'T NEED THE BALLOTS.

Stolen Hitllut lloxol.
TROY, N. Y., April 14.—The Cohoea
Republicans, elect Henry A. Strong
mayor, and William B. Leroy, police
to nmissioner. and carry two of the five
wards, with a tie on aldermen in an
other. The ballot boxes of the Fourth
ward, which were taken to the police
station when special policemen raided
the places, are still held there,
but the Republican candidate for
mayor has a plurality of 300, not count
ing this ward, which is a strong Repub
lican ward. If the ward should be
thrown out Republicans will elect their
city ticket. It is said that one of the
chief causes of the police raid for the
seizure of the ballot boxes was a large
amount of money bet on whether Gar
Bide or Gorman, the riual Democratic
candidates, would receive the larger
votp. The police were under Gorman's
control, and the inspectors were Gar
side men, and when the reports received
at the police station of tlie returns in
showed that Garside's vote led Gorman,
to save the Gorman backer's money,
the raid was made on the Fourth ward
boxes. The excitement caused by the
seizure of the ballot boxr-s bv special
policemen was unprecedented in Cohoes.
Infuriated citizens thronged the streets
and threatened the police and police
stations. The public wrath was great
and freely expressed. At one time the
the captain of the militia company was
ordered to have his men in readiness, as
it was feared their services might be
needed.
