HURON, Dec. H.-About one hundred
members of the constitutional conven-
ton and all the members of the so-called
legislature Of South Dakota are here, as
are Gov. Mellette United States Senator
Edgerton and other prominent support
ers of the movement. 1t seems newt
able from the general sense of those here
that the restraining clause of the ordi-
nance will be repealed and a date set for
the state government to begin running.
SECOND DAY.
HURON, Dec. l5.-The constitutional
convention met this morning and passed
resolutions that a conference committee
of nine be appointed to consider present
emergencies, and after a conference with
committees from the senate and house
of South Dakota, report a plan of action.
JudgeCampbell was appointed chairman,
and the committee adjourned till tomor-
row Both houses of the legislature met
and appointed committees of conference.
The joint conference met this afternoon,
and the general sentiment developed was
in favor ofrepeal ofthe restraining clause.
Gov. Mellette delivered his message to-
night, affirming the right of the state to
assume a local government, but advising
that until an amendment for repeal OF
section 80 Of the schedule and ordinance
is submitted to the people, no action by
the state government or legislature be
taken, except such as is necessary and
preliminary to admission.

SPARKS, "REEoRm" sPAsM,

The cheap political capital which
Commissioner Sparks is seeking to make
by putting forth technical decisions in
the thousands of land cases now before
his Office, will certainly prove a party
boomerang if something is not done,
and that very soon, to deprive him Of
the power he now possesses, and which
he is using without mercy, to increase
the burdens of frontier settlers.
Congress has made certain laws under
which American citizens may acquire
title to government lands. These laws
were not intended us a trap in which to
ensnare people. 1t is provided that the
good faith of the settler is sufficiently
shown if he has Il habitable house and
such other Improvements as he can
reasonably make in the required SIX
months residence. 1t is clearly the in
tent of the law to better the condition o.
the poor man, and if he is SO poor and
needy that he must go for = few weeks
during the required residence period

earn a living, the government loses
nothing. The law does not contemplate
that a man shall reside every hour and
every minute upon the land ; he is per-
mitted to leave it for the purpose of
earning bread for himself and family, if
he have one, or for himself, if he be
single.
Yet Sparks is holding lands for can.
collation. the settlers upon which have
been obliged to absent themselves for
the purposes stated. A settler whose
claim is "held up" ON account of en-
forced absence, encounters a new hard
ship. He must employ legal assistance
in setting himself right before the de-
partment, and await in suspense the re.
suit of the red.tape deliberations at
Washington. At the same time the title
to his land is under a cloud. This i'm
pairs his credit. and otherwise disorgan-
ICES his plans to make himself a home.
Congress should pass an act at once
confirming all proofs made before the
land offices up to a certain date, except
in cases where real fraud is appar-
ent. This would suffice as a notice to
future settlers that, in taking land, they
must conform to the new and rigid re.
quirements of Mr.. Sparks department
that they must live upon their claims
from the date Of filing to the date Of
proof; that they will not be allowed the
privileges Of a setting hen-they must
not leave their claims for bread or drink.

BY Z. REED.
For over a month there had been no rain.
And the ground was dead and dry,
While overhead the blazing sun
Blazed down from a copper sky.
And each farmer shook his head in doubt,
As he gazed on his whitening crop;
And he watched each cloud. as it passed. for rain,
But there fell not a single drop.
Then u meeting was called to devise some plun
The b lighting fend to chouse;
And three old men, as u last resort,
Were sent to the pastors house.
They told the holy man of tho droutl
That was spelling the ripening grain:
And they asked him to fix up his sermon 81
As to work in a prayer for rain.
On Sabbath the prayer was offered up,
But tho pastor displayed no zest:
And he said "Man shouldn't dictate to the Lord,
For whatever is is best"
Once home, the pastor fell on his knees,
That prayer to countermand;
For the only crops the good man had
Were growing on marshy land.
