A Rnllrond snr,er hr the slnte,

The ktgiSler is apparently hard pushed
for an argument on behalf Of railroad sur.
veys at the expense Of the State. Because
we doubt whether there Is any warrant in
the Constitution for appropriations for
such purpose it comes at US with in
quires as to where we find any warrant
for Capitol building, an Insane Asylum
and other public buildings and public
institutions OF the State.
Wetake 1t for granted that there 10 some
difference, to say the least. between ap.
propriating money for the support Of in.
stitutionS that were owned by the State OF
the tmo when the Constitution went into
effect, and that are recognized in the Sey.
enth article Of the Constitution, and all
sorts Of schemes that may be started un.
der cover Of projects TO develop the State.
As to an appropriation on behalf Of the
Capitol building at Charleston, 10 which
the Register refers, we are not aware that
We have ever made any argument or 'ap'
pal in favor OF such an appropriation, but
II we had we should have rested our posi-.
ton without any misgivlng on the com.
mon sense fact that a State government
Is generally expected to be under roof in
some part OF the territory over which 1t
exercises dominion, and that It must have
suitable quarters provided for It OF the
public expense.
As 10 the appropriation in aid Of immi.
grafton to the State, we presume that II
would be competent for the Legislature To
create the Office Of Commissioner Of Immi'
grafton and appropriate certain amount
Of money for carrying out the objects oi
the office. But does such an appropria
ton stand on the footing Of an appropria'
ton for railroad surveyor Is not th.
RSSiSlr aware that Governor Jacob vetoed
Cehain acts Of the Legislature approprla'
ting money in aid Of certain public i'm
provements2 These vetoes were never
reversed by the Legislature, and the prac
tice ot making such appropriations waI
abandoned on the recognized ground o.
being unconstitutional.
Now we take 1t that an appropriation o.
money In the interest Of q railroad rout.
Is In the nature Of an appropriation fol

vetoed by Governor Jacob, and that II

OF the Prevalence Of small POx.
Sioux Cry, IA, February 2.-For sew
eral weeks the smallpox has been raging
with great fatality in Jefferson, Union
county, Dakota, settlement distant from
this city about twelve miles. A strict
quarantine has been enforced against the
community and the disease has not spread
beyond the settlement, though 1t has
played sad havoc there.
The settlement consists mostly OF Cana.
dian French, and when the disease fret
broke out they, in their ignorance, were
unmindiul oi It's contagious character, and
funerals were public, and were more or
less attended by the whole population, as
the settlers are really OF kin. In the
way the disease spread rapidly, The towns
around the neighborhood quantined
against Jefferson, and the people there
have been isolated for nearly month,
no mails received from that place and
none sent, The railroad authorities have
forbidden their trains stopping there.
Elk Point, the county seat OF Union
county, and this city have largely contrib.
uted to the relief Of the suffering people,
but under the restraint TO which they are
subjected the settlers have become restiye
and threatened tU break the quarantine
and come into this city. The catastophe was
overruled by the City Council sending Ma.
poleon Bronillille, Of this city, who has
many relatives in the settlement to JET.
ferson. From him 1t Is learned that there
have been over ninety cases In the settle.
ment. Thirty,two have died suddenly,
six have recovered SO far. Atpresent there
are sixty cases under treatment, and 1t is
believed that these will recover, as the
disease has literally lost its violence. Mr..
Bronillille reports that whole families
have been swept away by the disease, and
that In many instances the dead have been
left unburied for days through fear as
to the inability 10 obtain help TO
inter them. Atpresent Elk Point has two
physicians 10 charge OF the infected dis.
triot, and 1t Is believed that the disease Is
abating, and will be wholly confined with.
in its present bounds. No cases
have developed here, though isolated
cases are reported in several towns In
Southern Dakota. The disease Is said TO
be the black smallpox, and Is thought to
have been communicated by o party Of
Russian emigrauts who passed through
this city to Yankton, Dakota, several
weeks ago. .|N
