The Rapid City Journal interperts
the constitutional convention act US fol.
lows:
The Pioneer is mistaken in stating
that the law provides that the counties
of south Dakota shall be taxed to pay
the expenses of the constitutional con-
vention whether they ale rep.
resented in it or not. The law provides
first for the payment of the per diem
and mileage of delegates from the terri
torial treasury, and provides further
that the convention shall levy tax up
on the counties there represented to re.
imburse the territorial treasury. Those
are the provisions Of the law, but the
fact of the matter will be that the terri.
tory will foot the bill. It is not proba.
BILE many counties will acknowledge the
authority of convention such as will
be held at Sioux Falls to levy taxes up
on the property within their bounda
ries. We do not expect to see the terri.
torial treasury reimbursed, but 80 far as
the law is concerned it contemplatef
such action, and that the counties rep
resented in the convention put up the
mOneY.

The forthcoming volume of the session
laws of 1885 will contain the organic act
of the territory re-compiled and correct.
ed up to date. During the years of the
past there have been many amendments
to the original organic act. which is
nothing more than congressional
statute. Most of these changes have
been lost sight of and as a result the
law makers and law givers of Dakota
have been operating with reckless disre.
gard for the fundamental law of the ter
ritory. The revision will place our terri
torial constitution before the people in
ineligible shape. Secretary Teller as
labored industriously upon this revision,
making thorough examination of the
United States statutes for the past
twenty years.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON, October 30.-The pres
ident and the Office seekers, tbs depart
mont of justice scandal, and the new
civil service commission have been the
chief subj scts of com mont here for sew
eral days. Mr.. Cleveland did not spend
much sentiment or paper in accepting
the resignation OF Judge Thoman, who
was the LAST of the civil service com mis-
sioners to resign. Their correspond
encs. however, was interesting. Mr..
Thoman said that the people welcome
civil service reform. This is true only
of republicans. The oxaspsrated demo-
crats curss the present administration
from morn until night for not giving
them the offices still held by rspubli-
cans. The administration is anxious
enough to do 10, but the republican Of
6cs holders have been 80 eflicisnt and ex-
smplary that the subtsrfuge OF offensive
psrtisanship has been abandoned.
In reorganizing the commission Mr.
Cleveland processes to bs trying to Sc
cure three men who arc well known to
tho country, as an esrneet OF his pur-
pose to give such character to the conf
mission az will convinco tho friends OF
the system that he regards this reform
as ons of the most important features ct
his administration. Hs also processes
seek in these appointments to satisfy
the people whether friendly to the say
tenn or not, that it is in tho hands OF
practical m IN who are not doctrinaires
and who will try to popularize the re-
form. Three men haye already declined

shortness of the working season has rc-
tarded the development of rich and ex-
tensive mines in the Sawtooth district,
but when Systematically opened snd
worked these mines are expected to
take their place among the best paying
camps on the Pacific Coast. The Gov
ernor says that not half the truth has
been told of the richness and extent of
the placer mines on Snake River. The
Ceur d'Alene section receives most
favorable mention. The Lost River
copper mines, according to export tea-
timony, are remarkably rich. The
financial condition of the Territory is
said to be satisfactory. The cash on
hand exceeds $500 the Territorial
debt. The total assssscd valuation OF
property for18s4 was $I5,497, $40, an
increase of 81, 500, 900 over Tia precod-

FnfthfuI Hirs. Garrett.

John w. Garrett, President of the Bsti-
more and Ohio Railroad, had an iron will
but his wife ruled him, although she did il
in such way that the old man never knew
t. During the forty years of their married
life tbe two never slept "a night apart, and
think Mrs. CARROTS death FASTENED that
of her husband. For some wears back Mr.
Garrett had been in bad health from ofer-
work, and the physicians had prescribed
that his meals should be regular and that
business should not be talked at the table
Mrs. Garrett saw that these rules were car
ried out, and whenever the lunch or dinner
time arrived, Ii made no difference if Mr.
Garrett was in the midst of the most i'm
portant conversation, on business involving
millions, with guests whom the President
would delight to honor, she would call
them to the table and in a gentle way
would admit of no refusal. Mr. Garrett or
his friend might ask for just one minute
more, hut the kind old lady would reply in
the gentlest tones: These are our rules,
and Mr.. Garrett has promised that they
shall be kept at the table it was the
same. If the guest or John w Garrett
would break out in some business exclama-
ton or suggestion, Mrs. Garrett would at
once object, and the railroad President at
the head of the table would laughingly call
attention to the manner in which he was
domineered over and would begin to talk
of other subjects. Mrs. Garrett was plain
motherly little woman full of quiet chart
ties, and as thoroughly wrapped up in her
husband as he was in her. She was posted
on much Of his work, and during her latter
years he did most of his work at home in
bis library, With several telegraph operators
about him. Many of his callers she would
receive and dismiss without their ever
bothering him. She was seldom absent
from his room, even during the most i'm
porant conversations, and she wound her
self 80 closely about every fiber of the old
mans nature that when she died, about
two years ago, his machinery did not
work, and he finally succumbed to the loss.
