e this leverage will be felt, provided
Governor Ordwsy holds his ONCE until
thst dato.
The legislature ~ whole was m ex.
tremely liberal one in the matter OF ap.
propriations. All towns Of. consequence
not previously supplied were provided
with public institutions. The estab.
llshed institutions received large appro.
prlations, almost without exception, of
the total amount requested. The leRis.
!ature recognizing what was deemed the
!mmediate probability Of division, legis.
lated in thic matter, for two territories
and thus the amounts appropriated were
lust double what they would have been.
No one has dared TO figure up the grand
totals.
The cry Of corruption and bribery.
was raised during the latter part Of the
session. but principally by the citizens
OF Yankton. who were driven to despe-
ration by the legislation deprivinR them
Of the capital. Of.course there vas .
motive in their allegations, for they
were making fight for the very exist
ence Of their t0wB. However; whether
there was corruption and bribery, and
whether or not. the Herald considers the
measure very .luquitous one, which
will eventually damage the reputation
of all engaged in it. Itsmacks Of jobbery
OF the rankest kind, and the commission
and their sponsors viii be closely watch.
ed by the people Of the territory.
North Dakota came to the front 10
usual. Being 30 large in the minority,
the members from the nerth at the start
were naturally in the position of suppli-
cants. When they left they were in the
position of dictatos. The fight was
started between the governor and the
north at the earlier part of the session
would have injured the latter and
done no good to the former. This
was recognized, and before hostitities
had gone to any great length, an alli-
ance was formed between the beliger-
ents, prompted BY the aggressiveness Of
South Dakota, the knowledge that
neither had an advantage on which to
base victory, and the mutual desire for
peace. After the understanding was ar
rived at il was plain sailing for the
north. By this course the balance ol
power was acquired by its members and
they ran they Legislature, just what
their constituents wanted. The north
found it much better than it would have
done, had any other plan been pursued.
Taken as whole North Dakota has
cause to be satisfied with its representa-
tion in the fifteenth legislative assem-.
bly,.

was this noticeable in the capital ques.

Usage Not violatc,, by the Tariff conccrccs.

Usage Not Violated by the Tariff conrcrccs.
Complaints have been mado that the con.
ference committee on the tariff bill exceeded
its authority in fixing rates on certain mr.
ticlos higher than had been voted by either
house. AS the only vote Of the house on the
tariff bill prior TO the conference was the vote
TO nou-coHcir in the senate amendment, which
amendment embraced an that was before the
conference committee, it was impossible for
that committee to exceed its authority.
Its sole businoss was to ascertain what
amendments would secure the assent Of
the house to the bill without losing
It the support of the senate. The references
to what duty the house voted for on any given
article while considering its own bill is totally
irrelevant and mere trifling. The house bill
was set aside. All votes upon it were as
though they had never been taken. The
senate bill was alone in conference Any and
all amendments were entirely in order so far
as they were directed toward securing the
support of the house The senate conferees
wero in duty bound 60 preserve as near MS
possible the senate bill. The house conierecs
were no more restrained by votes of the
house on tho defeated house bill than
they were by Robert J. Walkers re-
port of 1916. Mr. Carlisle never claimed
and never will say that tho confer
once committee were bound to adjust rates
between those in the senate bill and those
voted by the house on bill the consideration
of which was dropped lie merely referred
to the latter as expressive of what he supposed
to be the views of the protectionsts of the
house. The Post is right in saying that "tho
duty of conference committee is to bring
about an agreement on points of difference be-
tween the two houses, not to change features
Of bill on which there is no disagreement,
and mako differences whero none exist" Bat
the Post is mistaken in supposing that the house
and senate were agreed on any syllable of the
bill which went into conference. Therefore,
every line was point of difference and sub
] ect to alteration. That is elementary.

The activity Of the Department of Justice
in directing the prosecution of the perreyl-
tors of election frauds in Louisiana and, as is
understood, South Carolina gives additional
interest to the various classes of oilenscs by
which frauds upon the elective franchise may
be committed, One of the most common bour-
bon methods Of defeating the will of the ma
jority in the states where it is determined
that the negro vote shall not be counted, is to
deprive the republicans of the benefit of tho
one election commissioner and inspector ont Of
three to which they are By laD entitled. This
is done by appointing persons in that
capacity to represent the republican party
who are wholly illterato or incompetent and
unsuitable TO discharge the duty imposed by
law upon inspectors of election. Such persons
are selected with intent to defraud by leaving
the two bourbon commissioners or inspectors
uncmbarrassed by third man of the oppos-
ing party capable of detecting them in false
counting or returning of the vote.
At the December term of the United State 8
district court for the northern district of
Mississippi w. II. Carruthers and Bedford
Turner were indicted for just the oiicnso
above described. They were inspectors of
election at Taylor's precinct in Lafayette
county, and were the only ones appointed by
the county commissioners. The county COM
missioners are required by the state laws to
| appoint three competent and suitable per-
sons" rs inspectors for each precinct, "all of
whom shall not belong to the same political
| party" Tho law further provides that If
three are not appointed or if all do not act
the inspectors who attend shall fiji the va
cancy. The law requires the inspectors
| to bo competent and suitable" In
| the case referred to Carrnthes and
| Turner, as inspectors appointed u
negro named Henderson TO act with them,
who was known to be totally illiterate, uu-
suitable, and wholly incompetent to discharge
| the duties of said office" The indictment
! charged that this man had been appointed
with intent TO affect the election OF the re.
suit thereof" that is to say, nc had been ap'
pointed because he was ignorant and insult
able in order that the two bourbon inspectors
might not bo watched by political opponent
as provided by law, aud prevented by hin
from subvertng tho will of the voters
The defendants counsel demurred to the in
dictment contending that no ofiense hai
been committed by their clients.

Hewitt the nIron-rIastcr.n

That sublmated old humbug and pestifcr-
Gus demngogue, Abram S. Hewitt, of Morey
letter fame, roars as an "iron master" when
he desires most to get his work in asa bour-
bon politician; and having in ono interview
doomed the country TO everlasting smash
on account Of the tariff legislation, of course
we shall see responses wherever, for small
political ends, reports can be put on the wires
for the public eye telling of iron-masters /"
curling up, going out of business, cut
ting down wages, and sending things
to the dcmnition bow-wows generally. This
accounts for two or three squeaks such as ap-
peared in the press dispatches yosterday-one
from Pittsburg and another from Chicagol
These two were evidently written by the
same hand, although appearing to como from
those distant cities on the same day In such
case Hewitt's favorite term, "iron-masters,"
used only by him in this country so far
as We have hitherto observed, Is made
to do duty, and in each pretended intcr-
view discoses the same appalling condition
of aflairs-everybody ruined, strikes about to
be inaugurated, &c. The names of the heavy
iron and steel men do not appear in connec-
tion with these apochryphal interviews, and
we suspect that they are about as honest and
genuine as the Morey letter, in which Hewitt
took SO great an interest.
