elected. Acting on your own sonse OF duty and
Justice, you have removed thatp OF tue con

If, however, you believe that thi8 course is not

Canton protests against the passage Of
the capitol bill-that is certain residents
of Canton do. Canton is the place where
the capital commission organized and
some OF its people caught on when the
real estate deal promised big results
Yankton Press.
The Press is right when it states that
certain residents OF Canton oppose re-
removal, but these same gentlemen fail
to reflect the sentiments Of the nsne-tenths
majority in Lincoln county. The real
truth of the matter, as the case now
stands, discloses the fact: however, that
all are not satisfied with the Pierre
scheme, nor content with a permanent To-
cation at this particular time The more
conservative spirits can see ata glance
that the removal to Pierre will be inju-
rious to the future solidity of The South
Dakota forces, and that the repeal of the
old bill and temporary location at Yank-
ton would prove more harmonious and sat
isfactory than any other movement at
present. For reopening Of the old con.
territorial struggles no more disastrous fea.
ture could be inaugurated than another
rough and tumble scramble between these
rival cities OF South Dakota for the pei
manent location of the seat of government

A bill has been introduced in the lower
house of the legislature materially cutting
down the exemption laws as now existing,
and there is probability of its passage.
The bill reduces exemptions to $3.50, in
stead of $500. This is movement that
at present is decidedly premature and in
opportune, as to secure its passage it will
require the votes of those who have al
ready pledged themselves not to touch the
laws. There are great many features in
the development of a. new country that
necessitate protective exemption. and
the modification of this law at present
might prove unusually disastrous. Let
these laws be repealed or modified when
the issue has been properly made before
election.

The worst series of dynamite explosions
yet chronic.ed from England occurred in
London last Saturday. the city being shook
to its depth by three terrific explosions.
The parliament buildings and Westminster
hall were badly shattered, and the London
tower suffered from a like cause Very
naturally the dastardly work created in
tense excitement, and almost indescriba-
BILE scenes of terror followed the Disaster
The question now arises, where is this
business going to end. Growing bolder
and at the same time more cunning in
their diabolism, these Irish conspirators
have extended their scope of action until
,nnw thau st,:i IL. .,n,.., af E,,a
land s governmental parliamentary hall.
If these same insane conspirators would
stop to consider the absolute futility of
their work, how they are daily injuring
the cause of Ireland and completely alien
ating what sympathy is naturally extended
them by the people of England, perhaps
they might then come to realization Of
their imbecility. In the meantime the true
friends of Ireland are powerless, surround
ed by network of suspicion that debars
them from doing anything to attempt an
alienation of the suffering of Ireland s
people.

The outcome of the trial of Lewis, the
Mitchell murderer, is rank shame and
disgrace to the judicial administration Of
Dakota. Lewis shot down the marshal of
Mitchell, in cold blood, was observed by
several witnesses who testified that Pierce
was doing nothing but engaged in the dis
charge of his duties, and yet Jury found
him not guilty. It certainly seems that a
premium is paid on crime out that way.

In the house the capitol removal bill

In the house the capitol removal bill
was referred to special committee of five
appointed by the speaker consisting of
Mcssrs. Southwick, Williams, Miller,
Mark Ward and Huntington, four south
reners and one northerner The purpose
of this action is said to be to give the
council the first opportunity to take final
action on the bill. In the council the bill
remains in the hands of the committee OF
the whole, with its amendment, to locate
the capitol at Ordway, adopted by that
committee. 1t is thought by the majority
of Dakotaians that the bill has been killed
or else buried beyond resurrection. But
there is possibility arising that before
the season is over the issue may undergo
another series of revivicat;on, in which
case the members will have received a
more thorough inkling OF their constitu-
ents views. Lincoln county favors a
temporary relocation at Yankton, and 1t
now looks as if this was the only way out
of the removal difficulty.
