SIOUX FALLS, OAK, Nov. 5.-The Hugh
Campbell constitutional farce in Dakota
has spent its force. receiving less than one
fifth of the vote of the territory, and less
than two-thirds of the vote polled Tor pro-
hibition. 1t now appears that but for the
contest growing out OF the fact that half
dozen cities were ambitious to have them
selves voted for as sites for the capital,
there would have been less than one-tenth
of a vote on the constitution. The scheme
can be said to have died a-borning. The
Republicans now very generally concede
the course pursued by the Democracy with
reference to having an enabling act from
congress first, and then make an effort to
be admitted in the regular way, as being
the proper thing to do.

The Electoral Count.

1t made no practical difference on Wednes-
day whether Mr.. Edmunds's declaration of
the electoral vote was an official declaration,
or mere personal statement. The result
of the election was long ago settled and
there was no disposition on the part Of any
senator of representative TO dispute it.
There may come time, however, when the
view the President of the Senate takes as to
his power over the electoral count may be of
most serious import
The disputed election of 1876 revealed the
defects in the present system of counting
the electoral vote and showed the necessity
of some clear and definite law upon the sub
ject. Nevertheless, though nearly ten years
have elapsed since then, no law on the sub
ject has been passed and the situation ia
precisely the same as it was in 1870. SeDa-
Hoar's bill has passed the Senate, but the
House has refused to consider it. Luckily
all the elections since 1879 have been decid-
ed by sufficiently large majority to put
them beyonnd the possibility of dispute. We
cannot, however, hope for such good for
tune always. By and by an election will
come the result of which will be disputed,
and then, unless some clear and definite law
to count the electoral vote is in existence,
there will be trouble. Differences of opin-
ion which can easily be compromised now
will prove irreconcilable when the yielding
of point hB one party may give victory to
its adversary. The little breeze in the SEN
ate on Wednesday will prove of great SER
vice if it arouses Congress to the Importance
of settling this matter at the earliest possible
moment.

Concerning Quacks.

An Augusta correspondent rejecting very
likely the views of some of the opponents of
the bill for the registration of physicians re-
marks that "thers are any amount Of poor
doctors, quacks and fools in this State, but
if people want to employ them they ought to
have chance" Perhaps they should ii
they wanted to but the fact is the people
do not want to. They do employ
them, to be sure, but because they do not
understand their true character. Suppose
some of these quacks and fools that infest
the State should tell the truth about them
selves, suppose they should admit that they
had no special knowledge of the structure of
the human body or of the functions of its var
ious organs and that their alleged medicines
were nothing but concoctions of roots and
herbs picked up indlscriminatelY without
regard TO the medical properties of the ingre-
dents singly or taken together, hew many
people would employ them? 1t may be that
some would, for the fools are not all dead
yet, but the number would be so small that
the quaeks woula1 have to seek some other en-
ployIment to gain livelihood. Now one pur-
pose of the medical registration bill, and its
friends claim the only one, is to prevent
men of such limited knowledge advertising
themselves as physicians; to compel them to
sail under their true colors. THIS purpose,
we believe, is good one, and one proper to
be accomplished by legislation. We now
forbid by law men unfamiliar with the ma
ture of drugs to compound them, why

If this be the only purpose of the bill it

Ell Mahdi.


The career of El Mahdi reads like a ro-
nance OF ancient times. In some points it
bears striking resemblance to that of the
great founder of The Moslem faith. That a
petty sheik, fanantic priest. should be able
to instigate war of most formidable pro-
portions, to gather and maintain armies
which put to flight the Egyptian forces with
scarcely an effort, and fought for hours with
desperate courage against the flower of the
British army, opposing spears and scimetars
to the most perfected repeating rifles and
Gatiing guns, would have been impossible
had not the Prophets schemes been aided
by tho most intense religious fanaticsm.
AS with all other leaders of his kind, the
early life Of Ell Mahdi is involved in OBJ
scurity, and it is probable that veil of
mystery has been purposely thrown about it.
The most absurd stories have been told
abeut his birth and education, one being
that he was an American negro, educated by
Catholics. The probable truth is that El
Mahdrs real name is Mohammed Achmed
that he is the son of a petty Arab
sheik, who was brought up to be fakir,
or mendicaut priest. 1t is said that when
Of age he retired to an island named
Aba, in the White Nile, and long lived there
in life Of asceticism and religious medita-
tion. Such an epoch is always placed by
tradition in the life of all founders of re-
ligious movements. Confucius, Guatama
and Mohammed are all credited with just
such period of retirement.
When El Mahdi had prepared himself in
this way for the role of prophet, he began to
