age Tillers of the Soil.
Special to the Globe.
HURON. OAK, Nov. 23.-Under the pro-
visions of the present law taxes become de-
linquent the 1st of February each year.
The past season has been one OF unfavor-
able results to a large majority OF farmers
in South, Central and Eastern Dakota and
also portions of North Dakota, but no Sec
ton suffered more seriously than the settlers
in the south part of the territory
from damage to crops by drouth.
In MANY instances the wheat yield
was scarcely sufficient to pay the expense
of threshing. and oats and fax but little il
any better, while corn, with its greatly In
creased acreage, will not aggregate much
larger total in bushels than was realized the
wear previous. This does not apply to all,
however, for, in fact, all have enough for
bread to last them through the winter,
while many have considerable for market.
AS yet but few farmers have cattle suitable
for market, and sheep and hogs are not
very numerous. and what are offered to
butchers bring only nominal price, In
view of this condition of affairs and the fact
that few settlers care to take chances on
making final proof on their claims and
placing mortgages thereon while Commits
sioner Sparks runs affairs so
DIRECTLY CONTRARY
to the interests of Dakota settlers, it will
be an impossibility for many to raise money
sufficient to pay their taxes, and the delin-
O ent lists for 1886 will be much greater
in the majority of counties in this section
than those of any preceding year. Farm
ers are not the only class who will be COM
PEELED to allow their taxes to become delin-
uuent, but business men generally will
share in what affects the agriculturist in
this respect. The only means of relief will
be for the legislature to pass bill extend
ng the time of delinquency till June, or
even later, as was the case two years ago.
In fact it would be better if
the time could be changed
to an earlier date in the fail-say Novem-
ber-when farmers will have better OPP
portunity to provide for the payment of
their taxes than is afforded them in Febru-
ary-a month frequently attended with
severe weather and storms, rendering
travel TO the county seat often uncomfort-
able, if not impossible. Already there is
growing sentiment In favor of AL extension
of time for the present year. if not per-
manent change. and the legislature Will
have its attention called to this matter
early in the session.

The South state Legislature.

Special 10 the GlODe.
SIOUX FALLS, Nov 26.-The $4,000 appro-
priated by the legislature of 1885 for the cousti-
tutioaal convention is not vet exhausted, and
fifteen members met here the past week and
requested Gov. Millette to call the state lcgis-
lature to meet it at Huron on the 18th of De-
cember. Just what they propose to do none
can find out, but one thing is certain, the
constitutional convention will live just as long
as the appropriation lasts and no longer. Sioux
Falls and Huron can stand it first rate, but,
as L. G. Johnson suggested in political
speech during the recent campaign, the CEN
trail portion of Dakota cannot be remarkably
well pleased to be obliged to contribute to the
amusement of these cities.

Mr.. MeArthur. of the Third

The Americus Republi ean seems
aggrleved that the JOURNAL pub
llshed the fact that Mr.. Macarthur,
candidate for congress in the 3rd
district, while a member of the
Legislature, voted for a republican
for United States Senator. The
Republican offers as an explana-
ton for this unusual procedure
by a democrat the statement that
by voting for Blodgett the repub-
licans would place democratic
Judge over his, McArthur's, cir
cult. In those days democratic
Senator was of far more impor-
tance than democratic Judge.
and it would appear to us that n
man who would vote to send re-
publican to congress for the sake
OF getting democratic Judge was
false to his duty and the obliga-
tions imposed upon him by a dem
ocratic constituency. The jour-
NAL is not in Mr.. MeArthur's dis
trict and would not knowingly
misrepresent him.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded
by a sense of weight in the back,
loins and lower part of the abdo-
men, causing the patient to sup
pose he has some affection Of the
kidneys or neighboring organs.
At times, symptoms of indiges-
ton are present, fiatulency, unea-
siness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture.like perspiration, pro-
ducing a very disagreeable Itch
ing, after getting warm, is a COM
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding
and Itching Piles yield at once to
to the application of DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts di-
rectly upon the parts affected, alb
sorbing the rumors, allaying the

DawsOn's City Government for 1895.
Our city council for this year
is doiLg faithful work. They
have exerted themselves to give
us clean, healthy town and are
progressive, yet conservative in
every matter. They propose to
do all in their power to make the
town equal to any other in the
State, and yet they are rightfully
loyal to the constitution of the
State. Some communities have
been ruined by reckless spend
ing of the peoples money. Our
last convention put on the breaks
in this matter and placed the
spending of any large amount of
money in the hands of the people
where it rightly belongs. Let
us track the law and throw all
evil consequences ON it. The evil
consequences may come if the law
is not followed and then there will
be no one responsible.

The Electoral Count Bill.

The question of the Electoral
Count is again before Congress
in the consideration of a bill in
tended to remedy serious defects
in the counting Of the votes in
presidential elections. 1t is q
matter OF such momentous politi-
cal interest that further neglect
to remove the uncertainty and
danger that have 50 long been as
sociated with the electoral method
would be almost criminal indif-
ference to the welfare and stabili-
ty of The government. There
should never exist opportunities
for such fraud as was commit
ted in 1876, or occasion for such
suspense as attended the result of
the last election.

TIE people of the North and
West are beginning to see the
folly OF welcoming to our shores
the scum of Europe. These emf
grants are developing into full
dedged dynamiters and plotters
against the peace and good order
OF the government and people.
They demand, not pay for their
labor, but a division of the prop
erty of the country that their in.
dustrious neighbors have accumu-
lated, while they have stood on
the street corners demanding what
they falsely term their rights. "
We see only one remedy, and that
is to stop emigration and use

Physicians don't hesitate to use,
prescribe or endorse Westmore-
lands Calisaya Tonic, as will be
seen by reading the following:
COLUMBIA, S. G. July, 1884.
Westmoreland Bros.-Gentle-
men: l have very thoroughly
tested your Calisaya Tonic, and
do not hesitate to pronounce it a
most remedial agent. AS stom-
achic and general tonic it is un-
surpassed. For eliminating ma
larial poisons from the system
and repairing their deleterious
effects; for rebuilding, reinvigora-
ting and giving tone to the system
when reduced by protracted or
severe fevers OF other debilitating
causes, there is in my Judgment
no other preparat on in the whole
field of medicines equal to it.
But especially is it useful in ma
larial disorders, both az q curative
and a prophylactic.

Southern Girls Laugh too Much

One of the commonest faults
among Southern girls is to laugh
too much at nothing. We have
heard them laugh at almost every
thing they said themselves, when
there Was nothing to laugh at.
1t looks exceedingly silly; and
one such young lady would be
greatly ashamed of herself if she
could only see herself as others
see her. We were riding on a
railroad not long since when a
young gentleman and lady came
into the cars at certain station
on their way t0 ---. Both
seemed cultivated, but the young
lady giggled at everything she
said herself just think of such
a conversation as this and you
can have some conception of a
scene which is not unfrequently
beheld in this section OF the coun-
try: Il met Mr.. johnson the
other day, Che! he! heD and I
think he is SO handsome (he! he!
he! heD He said he would be
down soon, Che! he! he! he!) and
told him Che! he) I should be
SO glad to see him. (He! he! heb
asked Che! he!) if he and Miss
Sallie (hel he!) were going to get
married. (Hel hel he! hel he! he
heD He denied it, (he! he! he'd
but 1 told him I had heard (hel
he!) all about it. (Hel he! he'll !
think Miss Sallie Che! heD is a
beautiful girl. (He! he! he!)
80 the strain went on to the
end of the trip. We think that
young lady laughed about thou
sand times in the space of two
hours-or during the journey o!
forty or more miles. This, too, is
only specimen of a multitude OF
cases of the same kind we often
witness in Southern circles. We
don't do this to disparage oul
Southern girls. They are the
sweetest and most cultured girls
upon the whole, we ever met; but
where did they get the habit OF
laughing so much at nothing
We want them to break up this
silly, abominable habit.
