VOLUME III. KIMBALL, BRULE COUNTY, DAKOTA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1884 NUMBER 18.
DAKOTA'S NEW EXECUTIVE.
GOT.
Pierce Takes the Oath of Office at
Yankton* and Will Take Up Hl» Abode at
Bitmarck—He Expresses Himself Freely
on the Capital Wrangle.
YANKTON, Dak., Special Telegram, July 25.
—Gov. Pierce took the oath of office to-day
before ex-Gov. Faulk, now justice of the
peace. He will leave for Chicago to-morrow
morning, and after spending a week and
closing his affairs be will go to Bismarck
and will take formal possession of the office
of governor. He will dwell permanently at
Bismarck utiles the authorities at Washing
ton t^ke some steps to settle the capitol
question. James H. Teller, secretary of the
treasury, has appealed to Controller Law
renco as to where the public moneys shall be
expended. Mr. Lawrence has promised to
decide this question immediately. Should
the decision }e favorable to Yankton before
the completion of the capitol building, Gov.
Pierce would probabl^r come here, but he
will locate at Bismarch, ^unless otherwise
directed from Washington^
AX na-riATOBY SPEECH.
When Gov. Pierce, accompanied by his
daughter, arrived here last night, the Yank
ton band serenaded the new executive and
Seward Smith, the new judge of the
Fifth district, at the Merchants hotel.
When called upon for a speech, Gov.
Pierce thanked two or three hundred citi
zens for this unexpected reception—he
was not an entire Btranger in Dakota as he
had heretofore visited oentral and northern
•rtions, but had never before been in Yank
with which place he was greatly pleased.
Touohing upon the subject of the oapltol
location contest Gov. Pierce said:
portii
ton,
The duty of the executive is not to make the
laws but to execute them. The only means he
has of knowing the will of the people is by look
ing at the measures which they have enacted
through their representatives. If such repre
sentatives have been false to their constitu
ents, the remedy lies in changing them
and electing men more faithful to their paths
and
their duty. Now your legislature has passed an
act regarding the seat of government. What it
Intended to do, what it meant to accomplish br
this act, is very plain. What it actually did ac
complish must be detdrmined by future develop
ments. This aot repeals the law making Yank
ton the capital. It appointed a commission to
fix upon a permanent seat of government, and
last provided that until suoh location was made
the territorial archives should remain at Yank
ton until the goverdor should designate some
other point by written order. Whether
this last provision was wise or unwise is not for
me to say, but it is certainly as much apart of
the law as any other. The governor, in nis dis
cretion, has acted upon this law and it is very
clear to me that the power liaviug
been exercised, the order has all the
force and effect of a statute until re
pealed or revoked* The Incoming grove
nor may again call the power into play, and re
voke or anull the order is probably true. The
should this be done. I am told that
,al building will be complet
ed In a rfew weeks, and thereupon
the commissioners are sequired to
notify the governor, who In turn is required to
issue a proclamation, and the offices shall then
be removed to that place. Now then the order of
Gov. Ordway must be observed by the Incoming
governor, or it must be revoked. It would be
something even more than a
DI8KEGARD CUT PRECEDENT
and courtesv to Ignore this order formally au
thorized as it was by the legislature. Now, shall
I revoke it? Would such an act contribute to
the dignity and tranquility of the territory?
Would not a proclamation revoking the order
appear frivolous, in view of the fact that
within a fortnight the governor may be called
upon to issue a proclamation enforcing it? I am
asking the question not because I have com
pletely settled the matter in my own mind, for
events may occur to demand such revocation,
but I suggest some of the difficulties
I have encountered in considering this
Question. In a few months the legislature
will assemble and the people will have an op
portunity to make their wishes known in this
matter. Whatever aotion may be taken will be
but temporary and ephemeral at best. In view
of this fact what I may do soems of slight import
ance and trifling of significance. I have not dis
cussed the legal proceedings whioh are pending
because I must aot solely on what I find before
meKupon the law as It stands until altered by
the legislature or the courts decide It as a
formality. The legislature meant to transfer
the capital. Of that there is no question.
Recognizing the faot that it is the duty of the
executive to carry out the Intent and meaning
of the peoples' representatives as thoroughly
and complete as possible, I still wish it under
stood that I have no plans to push or theories to
advance against any competent authority which
may direct me to modify or retract my action.
I am the subject of the law. Ijet the law and
the people who make the law express clearly
what they require me to demand I shall cheer
fully obey.
The Dakota Smelllaff Commission.
Yankton, Dak.,. Special:—Judge Boteler and
William Haight, sent to Dakota in May to in
vestigate the official conduct of United States
Attorney Campbell, have finished their work,
and departed for Washington. At Gov.
Ordway's request the commission was directed
investigate any charges against Ordway.
to
The commission visited several places in North
and South Dakota and the Black Hills, and have
accumulated a vast amount of testimony. They
did not hold open session, so the public can
learn nothing of the testimony, except what
witnesses may have said, which of course,
would be ex parte. It is not known what their
report will be, nor when it will be made. Gov.
Ordway left Tuesday morning for Bismarck,
preparatory to handing over ms qfice to Gov.
Pierce, who is expected here abou^ug.

ministration. He cited the fact that

Capt. W. E. Whaley, late captain of
police of Norwich, Conn., went into a
bedroom at Mandan with his son, a
young man,and shortly afterwards the

cality of Huron.
There Has beeiwmucl^ question wheth
er new counties in Dakota could elect
county attorneys under the new law
passed at the last legislature. The
question has hinged on the interpreta
tion of the words "judioial organization."
The question has been submitted to
Judge Hudson at large, and he holds,
that all counties in which civil organiz
ation has been completed may elect
county attorneys, but that he cannot
try the criminal cases of1 that ccuhty
unless a term of the district court be
held therein, the law being that the
prosecuting officer of the county, when
the indictment is found, must prosecute
the case but he can. act as counsel for
the board of county commissioners and
assist in regard to criminal prosecutions
before the indictment is found. Under
this ruling county attorney may be el
ected in many counties where they have
not yet been elected on account of the
impression that such action would be
illegal.
A. H. Humphreys, Sioux Falls, Dak.,
says in the New York Tribune: Among
other things that the Northwest is de
veloping are its valuable quarries in
granite, prophyry and silica. The quali
ty of these stones is of the very highest.
You know that prophyry and silica,
are extremely hard. They blunt the
finest tools, and polished they will cut
glass like the diamond. By anew pro
cess, .using tiny globules of chilled iron,
we cut the stone without difficulty. The
silica is of a rich terra cotta shade, and
it being out into slabs and sent to the
growing cities of the Went for pave
ments. The cost is about what granita
is here and it is polished and used for
ornamental purposes.
