THE BONDS.

The bonding bill relating to Custer
county was approved on the 10Th OF
February and is therefore nov a law.
The only change made in the original
text of the bill AS introduced being the
rate of interest from II to s per cent.
This we believe to be wise. If Custer
county bonds are not good property at
that rate of interest, they would net he
good even though We pay double that
amount. Eight per cent is "A good rate
of interest when the security is good,
and if that is bad no amount OF Interest
will cilectually bolster il up.

THE NEW APPORTIONMENT.

The number of legislators allowed to
the Black Hills under the new appor-
tionment is most ridiculously small as
the whole number will be but five, one
member of the council and four of the
lower house. OF these Lawrence coun-
ty will have the councilman and three
of the representatives, while Pennington
and Custer counties must rest content
with the remaining one member. The
disparity of this apportionment becomes
more apparent when We look at the
census and the election r turns and see
the difference between the population,
us compared to the voters here in the
Hills and then turn to the same statistics
for the eastern counties. Lawrence
county, for instance, has a population OF
3 ,24S and cast a vote Of 900, in other
words, Lawrence county casts one vote
TO every two and lour-tenths individuals
Of her population. Pennington and
Custer combined have a 1899 population
and polled l,445 votes or one in about
two and twenty-four hundredths, while
Yankton county containing a population
of8,390 only cast ,60l votes, the proper
ton being about one in five and one
fifth. AS all the other agricultural coun-
ties run in about the same ratio, it will
be readily seen that politically there is
a ponderous premium on raising babies,
Just about one-half Of our voters count
for no more in an apportionment than
do the Mennonite kids Of southeastern
Dakota. Still we can't do anything but
grin and bear it without even the grim
satisfaction Of cursing the legislature
that made the apportionment, as their
willingness to deal fairly by us was
stopped Ivy the United States law which
says, that the orportionment of repre-
sentation must lie based on the census
returns Of population, not votes. 1t may
be possible at the next session to get
something done to relieve us but it is
extremely doubtful.
Penn ngton and Custer counties will
hereafter be one district. entitled 10 one
representative, and as Pennington had
the honors this year we hope they will
concede them to Custer two years hence,
unless they should agree to send Fred
]. Cross again in which case We do not
believe that this county would kick
much. He has certainly done well by
MS and has been most successful in all
his attempts. BY that time it is alto
getler probable that this county as it
now stands with the addition Of For
sythe, will have quite as great a census
and voting population as Pennington.

s

There has been considerable ~specula-
ton among our citizens as to whether
the assessment should be taken in
February or whether the law had
actually been changed to commence on
the first of May. The assessor of this
and Lawrence counties, AS we learn,
have been at work for some weeks as
sessing property. Now the actual fact
is that there 10 a new session law max
ing it legal TO men assessments in
May, and any taken during last month
or at the present time cannot be return
ed as correct assessment. The question
that naturally presents itself to the tax
payers is who is going to pay for the
work already done? Is the county
obliged to do so or is it not? This is a
question of considerable importance to
our assessor we apprehend. To be sure
the old law said commence on the 18th
of February, and no official notification
Of any change has been received that we
know of. 1t looks to us about like this,
an officer is sworn to faithfully discharge
the duties of his office. The duties of
that Office are laid down in the statutes
and the session laws. The officer is in
duty bound to know the law relating to
his special duties, and when a legislature
is in session every n knows that there
are changes in the laws being made
some of which are liable to affect the
duties of any officer, and such officer
should keep himself posted us accurately
as possible upon the passage of new
l,ws. A law is q law, whether it be
published and spread broadcast over Tie
territory or whether it be a document
lust signed by the governor, and it takes
effect from and after its passage and APP
prevail by the executive unless other
wise specified. The only question is
how far does the responsibility of an
official extend. He can not be expected
to know by prescience what Is going on
in Yankton before the newspapers give
information Of the act, but when they
do give such information he can, and We
believe should, at once ascertain the
exact status Of the matter, and the coun-
ty should pay all reasonable bills that
may be incurred in t%elegraphing when
that is rendered necessary by limited
time. In this particular case we have
not received information whether the
bill was passed and approved prior to
February 18th or not, but we would be
willing to wager something that on the
18Th day of February the law was in effect

sessment to May LIST. 1t Is hardly
reasonable to suppose that when a bill
for that purpose was pending that final
action upon it would be delayed until
after all the various assessors in the ter
ritory had commenced work.

THE FALLS OF MoNTMoRENCI.

We arrived at the Falls little past noon and after going through the American form of paying tollgate and entrance fees, wegwere admitted to view oflthe falls. A aaircase numbering 367 steps:leads from the top to the bottom of the falls. Those who wishGo tire themselves out and drive out what breath they have in the body here have an excellent opi portunity. Part of our number availed them- selves of the opportunity and accomplished < that object quite successfully: The fails are higher than Niagara, and are very beautiful
 and picturesque, but of course, lack the power and magnitude of the Niagara river.
 Itis wonderfully pretty sight, and while wrspt in an admiring gaze, we couldn't help but let practical business thoughts creepTin ahead of the beautiful and sublime and we thought how that with small expenditure and the proper appliances wbat.a grandthing it would be to wash down those front stoops with in the street beyond. Ig}%& q
 The towers of a suspension bridge stillstand just over the falls as in .memoran of the loss of a whole family who fell with the bridge a number of years ago. Bridge and all went over the falls, and not a vistage of that or of the family was ever seen after. An under ground passage is supposed to exist under the falls, which immediately draws under' what. ever goes over the falls. Immense lumber mills are located just below which utilize 8 portion of this immense water power z

Agent Tiffany and the Coal Fields

The Globe Sitter Belt makes the follow ing defense of Agent Tiffany in the mat ter of the coal fields:
 The coal fields in Deer Creek canyon, which are shown by A. G. Pendleton, Deputy U. S. Mineral Surveyor, as being on the San Carlos Indian reservation, has been the subject of much newspaper com ment, and not little acrimonious fault finding with Col Tiffany for not throwing them open to the public. As is now shown by his record, the strictures in re- lation to the matter, were not well founded As early as February 28th, 1881, his first communication to the de- partment, in relation to the matter, shows him as advocating the rights of the public to those coal fields And again, March 7th, he reiterated his views in re- gard to the disposition of the coal for pub lie use, and at the same time he took a decided stand alternating any part of the plant for the benefit of any railroad cor poration or community of interest that would interfere with the public's free use of the coal. March 2Sth, the Colonel writes tho department:
