1t is serious question whether the
reform movement which George William
Curtis claims the leadership in, is in any
sense practical and gives any substantial
promise of making q change for the
better. 1t had its origin in Liberal"
movement and it has already degener-
ated into o very illiberal movement. Its
tendency is towards tyranny. 1t has no
sympathy with the masses of the people,
and in all its declarations there is moth
ing to encourage the millions of toilers
who form the bone and sinew of the
government. 1t may please the illustri-
GUS few who are engineering it, and they
undoubtedly comprehend what they
would like to accomplish for themselves,
but they should not overlook the fact
that there aro fifty millions of people
outside of their circle whose interests
are involved and who will insist upon
being considered. The republican party
hos IN great part managed the govern
ment for nearly quarter of century
and to-day it occupies a foremost posi-
tion among the governments OF the
earth. Its revenues have been faithfully
collected and faithfully applied. The re-
sources of the country have been devel-
oped with remarkable ,apidity--all it's
interests have been so protected and
stimulated that prosperity unequalled
in the history Of any people that ever
existed, has constantly attended its in
dustries. Republicanism is responsible

4 Curious Case.

Pierre Signal: The case OF the terri
tory against Albert Lenka, charged with
killing Caleb Perry, has been very
curious one, especially in the findings OF
the coroner and justice.
The coroners' jury finds that "Caleb
Perry came to his death from the effects
of gun shot wound from gun in the
hands Of Albert Lenka." This was right
and was all that was necessary for them
to fnd. But it seems that they had not
said enough to suit them, and they pro-
coed to express their belief that MIR
Lenka was justified IN killing Mr.. Perry
What they had to do with the motives
which prompted Mr.. Lenka to take q
fellow mans life is more than We are
able to understand.
In the justice court two witnesses
swore positively that Lenka shot Perry
in the back while he perry was running
to get out of the way, and after he had
shot two others with probable intent to
kill. Mr.. Lenka and his wife swore that
Perry was killed while beating Mrs
Lenka. The preponderance of testimo.
ny goes to show that Lenka killed Perry
while the latter was running away, We,
police justice who is only and simply
committing magistrate, in the vast.
ness of his legal inscrutability, pro.
ceeds to review the testimony ano
pass final Judgment in the great crime oi
murder. If he had any Judgment, how
ever, it would not be so bad, but wher
he proceeds to turn a criminal loose
upon the community, it is high time tc
offer q remonstrance against such 6
palpable outrage.
The taking of the life of fellow mar
is serious crime, and when the man
admits the killing and there is doubt
as to the Justification of committing the
deed, it is plainly the duty Of the com
mitting magistrate to bind him over tc
the action of the grand jury, which will
sit this fall.

Directly and indirectly the exhibition
OF the products of the farm and garden,
which Yankton and surrounding coun-
ties made last fall through the fair given
by the Southeastern Dakota Industrial
has added thousands of dol
lars to the aggregate wealth of the
county. What before had been matter
of speculation became fixed and deter
mined and settled confidence in the pro-
ductive value of our soil took the place
of doubt and uncertainty. The effect is
seen in the remarkable advance in the
price of farming lands throughout this
section and IN the constant and firm de-
mand for farms which is pressing itself
with considerable eagerness. The ad-
vance IN price will average more than
twenty five per cent, and there are not
wanting instances where this class Of
property has actually doubled in price,
and will sell readily at the increased rate
These remarks have been suggested
by the approach of another
fair season, with the expectation
that Yankton will take an active interest
in providing an exhibition this fall that
will be creditable to the city and county.
The material is at hand to furnish a
fair in royal abundance and
the organization which carried to such q
successful issue last years exhibit should
be encouraged to go on with the good
work this year. 1t will take some money
and good deal of energy, but both can
be supplied if the business men of the
city will study their own interest and
advantage.

ceased falling and the sun shone feeby
