FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, It will be very cabinet. larjrelv a (Jevelmnl Senator l'ettigrew opposes the an nexation of Hawaii while Senator Kvle favors it. The Washington correspondents have opened their end of the South Dakota senatorial fight already. The south gets the Secretaryship of the Interior in the appointment of edi tor Hoke Smith of Atlanta. Mr. Cleveland's cabinet lias been completed by the appointment of Rich ard Olney of Boston as attorney general anu Hilary A. Herbert of Alabama as secretary of the navv. The responsibility for the recent Re publican fiasco in North Dakota can be very evenly divided between Republi can Senator Hansbrough and Republi can Representative Johnson. Senator Gorman says the present rev enue is not sufficient to meet the neces sary running expenses of the govern ment. What will be tin- situation, then, when the robber tavill is wholly removed? It is decidedly amusing to now read in the Argus-Leader, which erstwhile supported Huron for the capital, the identical Pierre arguments advanced by THK RKPL'HI.ICAN during that memorable campaign of 18!«i. If the late crash in Reading railway stocks and the wobbly condition of the Northern Pacific shall result in im proved financial methods in connection with these and other great properties, the lesson though expensive will not have been in vain. J. Sterling Morton, who is to hi* sec retary of agriculture, is a liariWrioney. free-trade Democrat, ami a man of con siderable ability. As he represents the sum total of western recognition we must mauatre to make the most of him. Huronite: The pres.-seems very gen erally to favor another trial of the cap ital question. The trial seems dead sure to come sometime. Well, why not apply your resubmis sion argument to it. and let the present state of affairs have a fair trial? Receiver Maris Taylor of the defunct Fidelity Insurance cwmpany has figured out a dividend of 7 per cent, for its victims. This is the company for shut, ting u]) which Auditor Taylor received a heavy dose of Independent political abuse. He can consider himself more than vindicated. Madison Leader: If Speaker Lawson aspires to be the next congressman by the grace of Charles McCoy and legis lative bossism, he misjudges entirely the temper of the South Dakota people. He is evidently a rash young man and has a good deal to learn. He seems to have ab.-orbed some val uable pointersalready from hisowncoun ty. and may yet come out all right. So far as we can observe Gov. Shel don has been actuated in all his official acts by a desire to do the best thing possible for the state, in doing which, of course, he is doing the best thing for his party. So long as he pursues this line of policy ho is entitled to the hearty support, not only of the legisla ture but of the whole people. The comparative ease with which the World's Fair bill was finally agreed to at Pierre gives rise to the suspicion that about nine-teuths of the. combina tion to coerce legislation has existed in the minds of the newspaper corres pondents. The appropriation is cer tainly a reasonable one, all things con sidered, as the apportionment of $10, 000 to the woman's commission leaves the general appropriation at the uni versally favored figure of #50.000. In a recent editorial the Sioux City Journal emphasizes a point made by THK REPUBLICAN a short time since, as follows: Recent scenes and existing conditions in Kansas will promote the advantage of neighboring western .-antes for years if the latter are wise. The eflect will be to contribute powerfully to make this year the most notable in the History of South DaKota. and The Journal would not be surprised lo see evidences of extraordinary movement in this direction earlv in the spring. The folly of Kansas is the op portunity of South Dakota. \mt .^outh Dakota look to its credit. Let it be con servative. Let it be safe and liberal and just and patient. Tt lias rich lands, millions of acres, and it wants intelli gent, thrifty, industrious and law abia iu» men to come and improve them. While Kansas stands with a loaded Winchester and wild anarchistic themes to warn such away, let South Dakota give the welcoming beckon to a sensible and safe community. A Washington correspondent writes the Demoeratie St. Haul Globe as fol lows: is evident to those who know of Mr. Cleveland's feelings on the matters of patronage and his duties a.s chief ex utive, that he will take the position that dealing out offices is the least of his duties. The offices outside the civi, service rules will, in the course of time lie tilled by Democrats. Of this there no question: but the changes will not be m.itle in a day, a week, a month, or even a year. will Advertising rates (jlvfi! on application, a be found reasonably low.
