THE GOVERNORS vETOES
Approved by the First Judicial District.

by the First Judicial District.
Rapid City Journal.
The annual report Of Governor Ord
way to the secretary Of the Interior is
before us, and after perusal We arrive
at the conclusion that the governors
position in antagonism to to many acts
OF special Legislation last winter was we'll
taken, and that he was influenced by mo-
tives OF economy and justice in refusing
to attach bis signature. In his report
he gives complete history of the Moody
additional compensation bill, and sets
forth in plain and forcible language
good reasons for his veto of the measure.
The action of the governor upon this
bill has ever met the approval of the
people of the first judicial
district, and although his
tight with Pettigrew has
weakened his hold upon the people here,
he will be honored for the decided stand
he took against the unjust act of special
legislation for the exclusive benefit of
Moody, and which imposes an additional
burden upon the tax payers of the Black
Hills counties. The governor embodies
III his report upon the bill the advice
received from Attorney General Devens
to the effect that it was "hlghly objec.
tionable and certainly should be vetoed
and also the history of the bill supple.
mental introduced by Hale, which
passed the house, but was killed
in the council. Ordway attaches blame
for the passage of the additional com.
pensation bill to combination in the
Legislature, which was strong enough tt
hinder the passage Of necessary laws, s,anc
determined to do so if the men compos
ing it failed to secure necessary legisla
ton they asked. The governor states
in his report that by this means many
good and honest members were virtually
forced to vote for the Moody bill, though
against their Judgment aud principles, il
order to secure help from the conbina
ton tor the passage of good laws. Tha
this is the true state of affairs is eviden
from the introduction of Hale's bill sup
plemen'al and the manner Ill which i
passed the house.

Sioux City journal: The Central Pa
ciGc it will be remembered about
month ago filed articles Of incorporation
in Utah and Wyoming for an estensl ~
from C,rinn. east as far as tho point
where the Niobrara river crosses from
Wyoming into Nebraska. 1t was ex-,
pecte,; ut the tine that this would be
immediately followed by the filing III
Nebraska OF the incorporation OF tho
line through that state, but it was not.
The reason, doubtless, is that the survey
in Nebraska has not yet been definite
enough to allow even paper route to
be located and incorporated. An engi-
neer of the Sioux City aud Pacific, who
met the engineer in charge OF the Central
Pacific survey last fall just after the
latter party had left tie field for the
season, was told that the part of. the line
run along the bottom land OF til, Mo
brara was impracticable, aud some other
route would have to be found. The
Niobrara river, the Central engineer
said, CROSSES from the high bluffs on one
side of the river to the bluffs ON the op-
porite side too often to allow o railroad
to follow the bottom land. A new line
must be run somewhere back Of the
broken bluffs on QUE side or the other of
the river. 1t is now the plan of the
company to put q party of engineers in
the field to finish this Nebraska survey
a. soon as spring opens.

Big Stone was prepared for them, and
had they carried their plans into execu.

reception, but no amount of free whisky
could elevate their courage to the proper
point, and we understand that they have
now given up oil hope Of taking the
books by force, and are resortlng to
quibbllng legal points to get possession
Of them.
Too much credit cannot be extended
to our citizens for the perfectly cool but
first appearance of mob violence in the
county. Without making any boastful
bragadocio, they prepared to meet force

their cause they were determined to
defend their rights to- the bitter end.
As fast as they learned the news the
farmers from the surrounding country
came pouring in, ready to give their aid
to the cause of Big Stone, and our sister
town of Ortonville was not behind with
a small but determined force who were
bound to see fair play, and who would
have made some warm work tor the mob
had they but started the ball.
1t is the first time in the history of
Grant county that mob violence has ever
been attempted. and we hope it will be
the last. The disgrace of inangurating
such proceedings lies at the door OF the
Milbank ring, and though they failed in
accomplishing their purpose, tet it shows
to what extreme measures they are re-
daced. The cry raised by them that the
canvass of the vote was illegal will not
atone for such measures. They had their
remedy in law, if any fraud had been COM
mitted, but they knew there had not been,
and they also knew that unless they could
gain the county-seat by trickery or by
force they would never get it. It has
been the last despairing struggle of the
ring, and they have failed in shot as they
have in their other measures. Their resort
to force was their death struggle, and in
it they fellnever to rise again.

The president transmits to congress q
communication from Secretary Kirk
wood, with correspondence, regarding
lawlessness in the territories. The
president again suggests legislation con-
cerning the evil. Secretary Kirkwood
states that the difficulty arises from the
fact that the sheriffs, through tempta-
ton or other causes, fail in their duty,
and suggests that it might be expedient
to empower governors with authority to
remove or suspend sheriff for neglect
Of duty. Acting Gov. Casper Of Arizona
urges special comitstus act as the best
relief. The committee on territories in
the senate has decided to act promptly,
and will report to modify the posse
comitatus act, SO as to allow the military
to assist the civil officers in maintaining
order. The indications are that the
democrats will oppose any modification
of the posse comitatus act, and take the
position that the civil officers should be
increased to sufficient numbers to put
down the lawlessness wherever 1t pre-
walls. A leading democratic senator
said he should oppose any law for using
soldiers except 70, military purposes.

A Washington special of the 7th says:
MIR. Aldrich reported to the house COM
mittee to-day bill to admit Washing
ton territory as state. The committee
agreed to the main proposition of admis-
sion, but objection was made to certain
amendments made by Aldrioh. He pro-
posed to protect the school lands from
sequestration for other than educational
purposes, and to limit the power of the
new state to issue bouds. It is not be-
.ieved that the committee will come to
agreement on these points. as the demo-
cratic members make the point that suoh
legislation would be an unconstitutional
interference with the rights Of sover-
eign state. Should the bill be reported,
it does not seem possible that it can
pass. The eastern members appear to
be especially jealous OF the growing
power of the northwest, and manifest an
inclination to yield to the clamor of cer-
tain eastern papers against the forma-
tion OF new states. So patent has this
opposition become that the friends even
of tho proposition to admit Dakota are
by no means now confident 0f their sue
cess. At any rats the resolution for tile
admission of New Mexico and Washing
ton has developed autagunism to all.
