We do need to say that
nothing ought be more transient

had five hundred made on Open

busy with more; and they will
be. Opening partly shows our
fashion-notions, and partly tries
your taste. 1t is as much for
our instruction as for yours.
Can we be idle afterward, think
you?
Everything out of which hats

Au Alderman Of Many Faces.

1t may seem little strange to the I'M
sophisticated that Alderman Hicks, who
is posing as q reformer, with the county
treasurer's Office in his eye, should make
such devious path as city officer, but
it should be remembered that reformers
generally "ge up like rocket and come
down like STICK As q member OF the
printing committee few months ago he
took upon himself the authority to order
more work done than the council had
authorized, approved the bill for the
same with his go. n" and afterwards
stultified himself by repudiating his own
order for the work. In the face of this
double dealing last Monday night this
same Aid. Hicks made the motion to give
the city clerk SIS for preparing tue copy
and reading the proof of that printing, a
part of which he, as member of the
printing committee, repudisted and the
council refused to pay for. This makes
three faces Mr. Hicks has presented to
the public on one and the same question.
AS the city clerk had presented no bill
Cor the work and was receiving q stated
salary for performing the duties of his
office, MIR. Hicks must have intended
this as complimentary gift to the clerk
from the peoples treasury. He may
have intended to reimburse the city treas

Fruit Raising in the Northwest.

1T IS not probable that president Cleve.
land will take any action IN regard to the
governorship of Dakota until congress
makes s)me disposition of the South Da
kota statehood question. The "masterly
inactivity" of the president in this mst-
ter has for several months been source
OF anxiety to the moguls of the party in
this territory who have arrogated to them
selves the prerogatlves OF running the
machine and debating the democratic
successors to republicans in the federal
Offices. They have made numerous con-
tracts but have 80 often failed to deliver
the goods that they are under the ban of
"false pretenses" and their occupation as
office brokers seems about gone. AS Gov.
Pierce has not been "offenslvely partisan
to the administration, and is popular with
the masses OF the people OF the territory,
more universally popular perhaps than
any successor that could be appointed
would be, the policy Of the president in
retaining him in his present position Is a

The constitution formed by the recent
convention at Sioux Falls Is in all essen
tial points q model instrument of its kind.
The delegates in the main adopted the
wisdom of other state constitutions with
ont venturlng upon new and untried
theories of government They seem to
haye selected the practically demonstrat-
ed provisions of other state constitutions
with judicious determination and elm
mated those of doubtful expediency and
predetermined utility. The language IS
clear and free from that surplusnge which
so often sacrifices perspiculty to euphony
in such Instruments. There can be no
reasonable objection to the constitution
because of the want of merit in it, for it
protects all interests, individual, corpo-
ration and state, and guarantees each and
all equality before the law. 1t would be
difficult to imagine time when better
constitution would be produced or con-
vention of delegates that would exercise
more wisdom in forming it than this one
has exhibited in this case. It Is in the
vanguard of the progressive science of
republican government at the present day.
While the Alert has protested against the
appropriation Of the funds Of the terrific
ry for the purpose OF producing constr.
tuition tor the southern half, and has no
faith in the success of the movement to
secure either division or statehood Of that
part south of the 4Gth parallel, we are
not disposed to detrac; from the merits
of the constitution merely because we
consider the holding of the convention
mistaken and lnjudicious policy. 1t
would be good thing to keep for the
future contingency of congress providing
by an enabling act Tor constitution,
even if such al act should provide for
the admission of the whole territory as

THE disposition to previousness on the
part of South Dakota politicians in the
matter Of electing state officers will do
much towards bringing their statehood
scheme into tlisfavor with the masses OF
the people in that section as such un.
seemly haste gives cut the impression thai
the moving object in view is more to OBJ
tain the honors end emoluments OF Office
for the politicians than to secure the
blessing of statehood for the people. The
constitution is good one but Its merits
will not suffice to carry the horde of poll
ticians into office. Already the voice OF
the yeomanry is being heard on the sub
ject through the local press, and if the
politicians can be defeated IN no other
way the people will probably defeat the
constitution. The conclave of politicians
At Mitchell Immediately after the ad-
journment of the convention was the con-
federation of ring to parcel out among
themselves the state offices IN prospect
which scheme will be further engineered
at a republican convention to be held At
Huron the 2lst inst. Bat at the forth
coming convention the Pettigrew and
Campbell factions, which were ignored
at Mitchell, will shy their casters into the
ring and there Will be music in the air.
The Sioux Falls Leader anticipates future
contingencies and makes the following
pertinent suggestions:
"It is to be hoped that class OF mel'
may be sent to the first legislature of the
state of Dakota of the same character as
the delegates to the constitutional con-
vcntion was composed. If such men
are elected, then we may be assured that
the new state will enter upon its duties
under the most favorable auspices. Let
us have more of the people and less Of the
politicians. If we elect such men as
helped to frame the constitution, which
is an instrument so full Of merit as to
meet the appreciation of the people gen
orally, then We may rest assured that the
best interests of the people Of Dakota are
being served, and trickery and jobbery
forever laid on the shelf"

The Women Suffrage Question in South
. Dakota.

Under the head of election the 3rd sec
ton Of the proposed constitution confers
on women the right of franchise on school
questions, but on no other; BUT it gives
the legislature authority to propose the
striking out of the word s'male" wher
eyer it occurs in the articles on election
and to submit the proposition to vote
Of the people. That provision leaves the
question dependent on two contingencies
the will of the legislature and the will of
the people. 1t was convenient evasion
OF a troublesome subject by the censtitu-
ton makers and it Is difficult to see the
point gained by the provision in question.
The general one for amendments would
have covered all the ground.
The above is from the Weekly Age of
this city last week. 1t must be admitted
that the conclusions from the premises
are unavoidable, but the Alert desires to
correct the Age IN its premises and that
done its conclusions have no support.
The second section Of Article seven Of the
constitution is evidently the one intended
to be referred 10 IN the above for the
third section does not refer to this ques-
ton IN any way.
The second section reads rs follows:
The legislature shall at Its first session
after the admission OF the state into the
union submit to a vote OF the electors OF
the state the following question to be
voted upon at the next general election
held thereafter namely: "Shali the word
male be stricken from the article of the
constitution relating to elections and the
right Of sutfrage.' If a majority Of the
votes cast upon that question are in favor
of striking ont said word "male," 1t shall
be stricken cut and there shall thereafter
he no distinction between males and fe-
males in the exercise of the right Of suf
frage at any election in this state.
1t will be observed that this provision
of the constitution IS mandatory. 1t not
only "gives the legislature authority in
the premises but it is made obligatory on
that body to exercise it at the first meet
ing after the admission Of the state into
the union, 80 that the question is depend
ent alone upon the will of the people
when they shall vote upon it. 1t may be
slight evasion of troublesome subject,
and perhaps was a compromise by the ad-
vocates and opponents of women suffrage,
but still it seems to have been good policy
for all interests concerned. 1t the con-
stitutlon shall be ratified by the people
and the proposed state admitted it will
only be short time till the people can
have a fair and square vote on the propo-
sitien, untrammeled by any compromise
influences made to secure other ends.
