Tnn resolution offered in the terrific
rial council yesterday by Hon. Il. T. Pet
tigrcw is in the right direction Some Of
the members assert that threats have
been made with view TO influencing
votes upon pending measures and the
purpose OF this resolution is 10 ascertain
by committee of investigation whether it
is true or not. Snch influence is species
OF bribery that mAkcth not the wallet Of
expected to submit TO It with that spirit
of martyr.lom which y casl, consideration
,ns,,rcs. Things arc becoming altogether
too monotonous IN the legislature for the
taste Of the newspapers and reading rnh'
llc and such al investigation would in
splrc new life and interest in the proceed
ings. The explanation OF this resolution
by Mr.. Pcttigrew indicates that the in
tim,dat,on is by members upon each 9TH
or. and their constituents will n" donbt
enjoy any developments that may oe
made. Another advantage Will be that
while they are investigating each o'hcr
they will have no time to do the people
harm by legislation, an indemnity which
their constituents will highly appreciate.

THE opposition to the appropri' ''on.ot
$40 900 for erecting building and cstab-
fishing school of mines At Rapid City,
IN the Black Hills country, because that
country does not, as ls alleged, pay its
equitable proportion of territorial taxes,
the Alert does not believe is well found
ed. There has been no resistance to the
collection of taxes in that locality. so
far as anything to the contrary appears
the people OF that section have paid the
taxes assessed against them rs promptly
as those of any other portion of Dakota.
II the assessment Is not in accord Win
that OF other portions of che territory the
remedy is in amending the revenue law
80 a. to correct the evil and not in with
holding from that people proper pubic
institutions and fair share OF them. The
Black Hills people have always te't that
on account Of their isolation they have
not received that consideration from the
territorial legislature that is their due
and the opposition to this project will
serve to confirm them IN the belief. The
only question with regard to this measure
should be rs to its advantages in pubic
sense and not whether the people living
in the section where 1t IS proposed to 10
cate the institution have been assesset
and paid an equitable proportion OF th'
taxes of the territory.
