S mate has granted right oi’ way fora bridge across the Miss ouri river near Chamberlain, which b ads to considerable newspaper speculation about railroad building to the Hills. Anu ri«‘it is th • exemplification o.’ expansion in all its ramifications, from its r il-splitter, canal boy, tan ner presidents to its fast mail train that connects the oceans in four or five days. Archbishop Ireland's hind case has been decided in his favor by the Secretary of the Interior. It invol ves 33,000 acres of hind in Minneso ta. which was secured by him lor lo cating fin Irish colony. State Treasurer .John Shamber's Hutchinson County neighbors evi dently think he will fill that office “chock full mit honesty.” as nearly one hundred of them qualified on his bond for about half a million. The state bar association met at Pierre last week ami selected Hon. Coe. I. < rawford as president for the ensuing year to succeed Barlett Tripp. The lawyers readily recog nize ability among themselves. A northern county exchange gives notoriety to a local character by calling him “Pancake Bill. " At this time of year “pancake bills” areas numerous and warm as Dewey’s col lection of islands in the Orient. Attorney Null, of Huron, one of the attorneys employed by thestate Kail way Commissioners, has filed a bill for 410 days of work and expen ses at f9,25‘.). That is rather a healthy, salary, indeed, for an eco nomical reform administration. $3- 4-00 of this sum is for legal services, and $859 for expenses. This is a better salary than a Congressman or United States Senator receives, and amounts to about S2O a day. We doubt if this will meet the ap proval of tax payers, even if dis guised under the name of lefoim. Bro. Milton, of the Redfield Jour nal, seems to be shooting afreelance these bright winter days at every thing in sight. He rounds up the legislature by calling it “mediocre,” while Spink County’s members are trying to get the legislature to do garnet hing for Dedtield on the insane asyl um wanted there. Bro. Milton also tries to shy a little mud at Cou gr ‘ssnmn Gamble, one of the clean est and ablest men in South Dakota public life, but it will not stick, as his position in public esteem is too secure to be affected by personal malice. It is to be legretted that B'-o.

It should cm t;iin a requirement for a majority of fill votes in the state cast fit that election for any officers. If some thing is not done to make it more dirt-cult for tiie success of amend ments, they will become a chestnut fit every election. When a majority off al the vol th want a thing they should have it. but merely because a minority vote.-for a thing and the majority faih to vote at all is no rea. on ior changing the constitu tion. v f v The law makers are off to Sioux Falls this week on a junket, to at tend the big buttei makers’ conven tion. They will learn something by simply rubbing up against bright men from all over the country. t t As reports come in from various funds, the legislators find deficiencies that must be ma le up in the next appropriation bill. There are some queer ideas 'of business permeating fusion. Two years ago the fusion h»gislature appropriated more than its republican predecessor, but not withstanding this fact several de partments of tne state government are behind. All these deficiencies of course belong to the fusion appro priation oi two years ago, which would make that legislature the most exp nsiye in the state’s history. f t The senate last week refused to confirm .John Sutherland, oi Pierre, th<> governor’s appointee on the board oi regents. The law requires that the board shall not be all of one political faith, ami Lee appointed Sutherland as a republican. Ee was the fusion nominee for state sei tor in Hughes county last fall, so the senate decided his appointment did not comply with the law. Suther land is the man whom Mrs. Lease “God blessed” in her speech at Mil ler, as an old soldier who had left the republican party. He was never an old soldier, and now he must claim to be a republican, if he desired the appointment. A strong republican party measure promises to put an end to state of ficers making something on the side out of fees, interest, or any emolu ments of their office. It will specifi cally provide that an officer is enti tled to his salary and nothing else. That’s right. Then a man will know exactly what the office pays, and if it don't suit him he need not take it! The passing of the railroad pass is insisted upon and stuck to. Hence visitors at the capital are as scarce this year as populist reform deals to create offices for the new converts, who join the party for principle—and incidentally crowd the old liners away from the pie counter. The railroad commission has a de ficiency bill of SII,OOO, largely for legal services. It is said that two attorneys haye made $4,000 each out of the state for services rendered the commission. Populist lawyers come high, but of course the boys have got to live! Somebody is after Gol. Harry Saw yer with a bill to make the railroad commissioners employ a stenograph er as secretary. They will never touch the Colonel, as he can make himself a st enog. before the bill pass es to its third reading. + tt A House bill provides that county Judges shall Lave juiisdi* iion in civil rases not exceeding JKM) in wlved, and in ei •m na.i » v t t T tit 111 111 • • misdemeanor. The salary is raised to S4OO per year in counties like Hand 11 ;■ House bill No. 70 prohibits the ac ceptance of railroad passes and tele graph franks by any state officer or member of the legislature. What will be the fate of house bill No. 70 ? ?. X t ! ! f The Black Hills wants an experi mental farm, according to a House bill. The cow counties ought to ask for an experimental school of mines. One is needed as much as the other. ttr A Senate bill, passed Tu *s lay, re duce; th • interest on property r - deemed from tax sale from 12 to 7 per cent. t f Y A legis ative experience oi two years ago is recalled by the Pierre Daily Press. It will be remembered that a Milwaukee Brewery sent a young man to Pierre to “work” the legislature. The “third house” push got hold of him, took him to Ft. Pierre, when? he was scared half to (hath liy Indians and cowbovs. It is stated the young man is now in an insane asylum us a result of his fright. i t Another range bill has been intro duced in the senate to let cat th'have five range in winter at thedisereti )U oi county C;.mmissioners, or it they fail to grant such permission town ship supervisors may do so within their township. That is better than the former bill, as it leaves the matter subject to local officers, but still we see no re ison for takingasingle step in the direction of making this acow boy country. Representative Pusey's bill to en able County treasurer's to collect taxes assessed against transient herds Seattle, is a very good meas ure, "and should pass. Transient herds eat up the grass and pay noth ing. The wolf bounty bill has passed both ho uses. It gives a bounty of $3 for wolves, and $1 for coyotes. Wolves in this case means big timber wolves, and our prairie wolves are “coyotes.” The state pays the bounty on a certificate from county treasurers, who must require the scalp with ears and tail connected. So any one claiming a wolf bounty must nearly skin the animaland pre sen t the hide to a county treasurer. A Senate bill requires state officers to buy their supplies within the state, and county officers within the county. That’s a good thing—push it along. Senat or King's bill to stop Coun ty Commissioners from compromis ing taxes received <S votes in the senate, ami 27 against. A senate bill seeks to do away with road districts and road super visors. and have road poll and prop erty road taxes paid in cash, requir ing all road work to be done under contract. It is doubtful if such an innovation will be made. Senator Snow bus introduced a bill for the election of County Com missioners by the whole county in stead of by districts. Tetter, Srtlt-K!ie»m am!

A trial bottle free at Fitzgerald's Drug Store. 613 Governor Lee figures South Dako- ta's entire debt, state, countiescities, towns, townships and schools at $7,393,402. But. as the Yankton Gazette comments: “These figures, stupendous as they appear, are not at all alarming when the productive capacity of the state is considered. particularly since, as the governor concedes, the volume of debt is be ing constantly reduced. The corn crop alone this year would wipe out the entire debt. The mineral pro duct would more than pay it. The fat stock shipped would pay it twice over ami leave Home millions to the good. The wheat crop would twice pay it. The creamery and dairy product would par it in two years. The hens would clear the record in 18 months. The annual produce of out farms and mines would cancel the entire public indebtedness of the state seven times over in a single year.” I Palace Drug Store f I @ • We aim to carry in stork every-® tithing required by a well It pharmacy, and of the best quali- £ ty, at lowest prices, and prompt ■*> Ji' shipments and attention given $ to mail orders. • • j. d.
