The REPUBLICAN has made the sug-
pestion heretofore that one of the most
important measures to be consih hered
by the incoming legislature is an bet to
abolish the present fee system in terri
torial and county offices, and to provide
salaries for the same somewhere in
keeping with the size and Importance
of the Office. 1t needs no elaborate.
figures to show that the present system
is both unnecessarily expensive and
uneven. County offices which are well
filled in the states on salaries ranging
from $1,000 to $1,000, in Dakota bring
their incumbents all the way from the
latter figures to $1,000 and $4,000;
while several of the territorial officials
receive twice or three times the COM
pensation they would under state
government, We hope to see bill
passed at the next session W hich will
remedy condition of affairs 80 palpa-
bly, unjust and burdensome as to need
no argument against it.

Huronite: Sioux Falls has 1908
votes. Rapid City had 1,045. Huron
registered 1,O39. Fargo, the largest
city in the territory had 1866.
The italics are ours. Huron lays
great stress on that registration, but it
seems peculiar that voters would take
the trouble to register and not to vote.
Huron cast 700 odd votes; Mitchell
cast over 800. Huron's efforts to lift
itself over the fence into the same
field with Sioux Falls and Fargo, as il
were by its boot-straps, is trifle
amusing,

Mitchell makes no secret of the fact
that she intends to exert an effort to
secure the removal of the United
States court now located at Yankto1
to her borders. She tried for it two
years ago in the legislature, and while
it was generally admitted that her ID :
cation, accessibility and general advah-
tages entitled her to it, there were GER
tain combinations which could not be
overcome. What these combinations
were and how they were effected
are matters of history and need
not be reviewed here. The effort
this session will be made, as it was two
years ago, along the lines lndicat ted
above-centrality of location in |She
district, accessibility by rail from ev.
cry direction, and facilities for the
accommodation of the court and those
who have business in it, second to nc
town in the territory.

Sioux Falls Press: In quite a num-
Der of exchanges are to be found ad-
vertisements of merchants and others
which give lists of people indebted to
the advertisers. This blacklisting
scheme has been declared by some of

of the publication being to bring re-
proach upon the debtor named.
just the same this seems to be the
only way to bring some of these gen
teel deadbeats to time.

There is no certainty as yet that Mr..
Miltimore has been defeated in the

are in favor of his election. The Off

Two years ago Dawson county cast
1,139 votes; while this year the total
vote was very few short Of 1900,
showing remarkably encouraging
increase in population. A large per-
centage of this gain was in the city of
Mitchell, which day has bona fde

towns have been making a great
flourish and buster Mitchell has been
moving quietly but surely ahead, until

When Messrs. Hoyt and Stewart, and

From the sunbury Daily.

Prom the Sunbury Daily.
A rather funny constable sale took place at
Port TrevOrton on Saturday, the 18th inst
f. 5. Simpson, esq, of Selinsgrove, had
claims against Postmaster and Groceryman
Leonard, of the Port, for collection, and de-
putized Constable Watt to levy the goods
found in Leonard's possession. When the
attorney, constable and auctioneer reached
the grocery they found the establishment
crowded with people whom they thought
came to the sale TO purchase the articles, and
therefore concluded that the sale would be
quite a success. The auctioueer upon taking
the stand demanded order and the conditions
of the sale were proceeded with. Some one
in the crowd said, Z" You have heard the con-
ditions9" when another answered, eyes"
whereupon the first spokesman gave the
command, "Forwsrd, march, and the whole
party, except the attorney, constable and
auctiOneer, left the room. We think it Is
scarcely necessary to add that the sale was a
total failure, in consequence OF the lack OF

THE sLooUKsCE or BREcKIsKIpsE r
Touching Extracts From the Speech OF q New
kentucky Congressman.


n. l.. P.n in the Press.
Speaking OF difference of opinions on the
tariff not affecting friendship calls to mind
the passage of Mr.. Breckinridge's speech on
the pension bill, in which he spoke OF the
great love he always had for his brothers
who fought on the Union side l am told
that in spite of this fact the love between
these brothers remains as strong as between
those who fought for the same cause Iquots
from this remarkable speech, which was
miserably reported at the time:
'Of the two grown men who are dearest TO
me one served four years in the Confederate
army one four years in the Federal army (;
suckled at the same breast, instructed at the
same knee, in early boyhood becoming moth
erless, between the three there is only con-
iidence and affection. There was a fourth,

seemed to grow up with the sunny loving
| ness that made that mother dear to all with
whom she came IN contact In the early
| flush of his young manhood he laid his life,
| a Federal soldier, upon the altar of his duty,
| and he lies at the feet of a venerable man
| whose earnest, intense and able devotion to
the Union of the states is well known among
| the people from whom came"
| Again he said
standing by those graves and looking
| across the blue grass sward, can be seen in
| concentric circles the headstones of the
| Federal dead, and not far off on the slope of a
beautiful hillside, under the shade of forest

and in the adjoining city, and through all
| the adj djacent country, are those who loved

Their trumpets to the breeze they fling,
And sound the overture 10 spring.

Gone are the cold and weary days;
Now comes the soul refreshing shower.

What q Smart Fellow Found Ont.

A Harrisburg correspondent of the New

He says that ex-Gov. Hoyt, the alleged
anti-discrimination committee of the sur
yivors of the constitutional convention,
John Stewart, CharlesS S. Wolfe, and Inde.
pendents unknown and unnamed, are
going to hold convention, all by the,r
virtu0us selves, about two weeks before
the Democratic state convention. Thisre
markable body will nominate full state
ticket" all Democrats. OF this ticket
Mr.. Buckalew is to be the head. This is
the discovery in detail of the said CORE
spondent, and he holds the patent.
We venture to predict first, that there
viii be no such convention, for the reason
that nobody named could afford to attend.
Second, il there should be such a conyen-
tion, its nominees would notbe (" all Demo-
crats'' in fact none of them would be

yJl be held ON the 18th of August.
