President Wicker Develops HIS Plan,
which Il . Good One for Yank III
mediate Aid VIII Be Followed by Imms.
dtate Work on h Line
President Wicker, of the Dakota Southern
road, is in town to-day and in . conversa.
ton with him, we obtained an understand
ing of the previously much mixed PROPOSE.
ton for the extension Of the Dakota South
ern road. To begin with, Mr.. Wicker says
it is the intention Of the company to extend
the road in a northwestwardly direction
from Yankton; to cross the western boundary
line Of Yankton county about twelve miles
north and twelve miles west Of this city ; 10
run two miles west of Scotland across the
northeastern corner of Bon Homme county
thence northwestwardly through Hutchin-
son county and across the southwest corner
Of Armstrong county. From there onward
the course of the proposed extension is NOT
defined, the company being undecided
whether to make Brule City or Pierre its
objective point on the Missouri. The ex-
tension. as outlined BY Mr.. Wicker, will
cross the Springfield branch of the Mil
waukee road two miles west of Scotland.
This will give Yankton . connection much
to be desired. rs it will furnish m avenue
of traffic and travel connecting us with
the upper country. Without this connec-
tion our city would be cut off from q profit
able region and the tide of trade forced to
60 eastward over the Springfield branch Of
the Milwaukee rosd. Therefore We deem
1t important to secure 10 muchTof the pro-
posed extension. The country to be pene-
trated by the road, beyond the crossing Of
the Milwaukee line is now partially devel-
oped and Will In time become . valusble
source of trade. 10 bearing westward from
The James river the company leaves On
opening which will be occupied BY ZONE
other road. There 10 hardly . doubt
that before many years elapse a railroad
will run up the valley of the James to q con.
nect,on with the Northern Pacific and II
the Dakota Southern does not occupy the
ground some other corporation will.
The proposition Of Mr.. Wicker contains
important features which Ysukton can
hardly Afford to ignore. Its consummatios
hinges upon the willingness Of Yarkton
to donate right Of way through tho
city and county. The company 10 willins

The Amendments.

We clip the following from the
Parkersburg Sentinel: In the discus
sion of this important question to the
people, we propose to give from time
to time articles on both sides of the
question, so that people may be en-.
abled to vote intelligently upon a
matter that SO closely concerns them.
The Sentinel says:
"The proposed amendment to the
Constitution is receiving more or less
attention from the press throughout
the State even thus early, more than
year before it is to be voted upon.
THE present indications are that
it will pass into law Every coun.
ty that has voted upon a proposition
for an Independent county court this
year has defeated it, which to us au-
gurs well for the amendment.
"The proposition, or the main fea-
ture of the change is, SHALL county
affairs be administered according to
an improved method?" That is all
there is in the proposed change.
"Wet2el, Marion, Marshal, Preston
and Mason counties have each defeat
ed a proposition to establish the sim
gle judge plan in place of the present
cunbrous county court, with all the
justices of the county sitting in sol.
amn conclave as judges of law and
chanc6ry.
"The votes did not express the sem
timents of the voter of the counties
by any means, because they are
known to ne favorable to and desir-
GUS of a change. But in the success
of special bills they probably thought
they could see the defeat of tie
amendment. The great superiority
of the amendment over the special
bills is that it creates uniformity in
the system throughout the State.
Every county having a judiciary sim
liar in style and jurisdiction to its
nelghO0r, ana the manner OF entorc.
ing the law, will be the same in all
parts of the State.
Under our present rule all the af
fairs are centralized at the Court
House. If one peighbor has a dis.
pute with another about u matter
involving more than twenty dollars
the controversy goes to the Court
House where the costly paraphernalia
of County Court, sheriffs, jurors
clerks, and what not, takes hold of the
matter and soon eats up their little
substance.
"Under the proposed system all
amounts not greater than three hun.
bred dollars can be disposed of be.

"THE OPPORTUNITY
Timely Discussion.

Wheeling Register: The Fairmont
West Nrginian givessome information
regarding the canvass in that county
on the County Court bill in which
an important lesson is contained
Where the bill was discussed and un.

nous in its favor, and where it was
voted on ignorantly it was almost
unanimous the other way. That is
the usual course OF things in matters
of such character. It will be the
same in the canvass upon the Con
stitntional Amendments. The PEG.

should not be pressed to hasty con.
clpsion, and bence the value of an
early and thorough canvass of i'm
poftant changes in our State policy.
Sats't West Firginian.
The election last Tuesday passed
ofs:quietly at all points throughout
the county. The returns are not yet
in, but most of the voting places
have been heard from and the result
is knoEn. AT least we have heard
enough to know that the people went
JEadlS to the polls and voted down
the single Judge plan, and by doing
this they nae forever settled $, the
County Court question. They have
said that they are satisfied with The
presentsystem, Notwithstanding they
have heretofore denounced it. They
have always complained of its ex-
pensiveness aud inelficiency, yet
when the opportunity came for a
change and for great improvement
they declined to accept it. We are
sorry the people could not see their
interests when voting, but if they
are satisfied with the result it is I'M
necessary to say anything iurther
about it. We will always believe,
however, that if the single Judge plan
had been understood it would have
been adopted. Its friends made very
little effort fori its adoption, while its
enemies resorted TO anything and
everythingfos its defeat. Here in
Fairmoht, where the matter had
been discussed and was well under.
stood by all, 2G5 votes were cast for
it and only seven against it. In
Palatine, where it had also been dis
cussed, there were 104 for and but 5
against. In many localities the bill
was never read, and in just such
places it was outfageously misrepre-
sented by those who worked day and
night to prevent its adoption. >

Mason County Fair.

Mr.. H. II. Howard, Secretary Of the
Mason County Agricultural and Me-
chanical Association has favored the
Editor Of this paper with an invita-,
ton TO be present at the next Mason
County Fair, which will commence
on August Goth, and last until the
evening of the 29th. AS Mason
County is one of the largest, wealth
lest and most populous counties in
the State, so her annual fairs are
among the largest and best attended.
The County is noted for its intelli.
gent, thrifty farmers, and their
thoroughbred horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs have a wide and growing repu.
tation. The generous hospitality of
the people is proverbial, and strang.
erS who conduct themselves properly
never lack for attention at u Mason
County Fair. The farmers of Sum
mcrs, Greenbrier, Monroe and Mercer
should make it a point to attend this
fair. They will be more than repaid
for any expense that may be incurred.
The Herald expects to have report
er on the grounds, and our readers
may expect report of the Fair
Hi'ston Herald.

The Tidy Housewife.

The careful tidy housewife, when
she is giving her house its spring
cleaning, should bear in mind that
the dear inmates Of her house. are
more precious than houses, and that
their systems need cleansing by pu.
rifying the blood, regulating the
stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring
malaria and miasma, and she should
know that there is nothing that will
do it so perfectly and surely as Hop

The only counties in the State that
the Grcenbackcrs carried in the late
election, are Mason, Putnam an Ka-
nawha, and they would not have car
ricd Mason, if it had not been for
their. fusion with the hard.money
Republicans. We do not know that
we are correct in even crediting Ma
son to them, as Bro. Gibbons claims
the defeat of the Democrats as a Re
publican victory. But they can both
take what comfort they can from
temporary success. The Democrats
will whoop them up in 1880, and re.
deem the county by good majority,
over the combined efforts of Radicals,
Grcenbackers and sore heads. Mind
that now.
