JAS. Crosby, of Pukwana, is an old
soldier, and from the effects of a prison
confinement in the south contracted dis
eases that have since made him an inva-
lid an ncapacitatcd him from perform
ing any labor towards the support of
himself or family. Under Republican
administration the best that Mr. Crosby
could obtain from the government at
Washington was Il pension of 81 per
month, dispite his earnest efforts to have
his pension increased Since the incom-
ing of a Democratic administration his
pension has been increased to $50 per
month and lately to $50 per month. We
mention this partly as matter of news,
partly to express our approval of a
worthy act and partly to illustrate the
injustice" the old soldiers are receiving
at the hands of the present administra-
tion, which the Republican party or
gans are bowling SO much about There
are hundreds of cases like the above, but
you never hear of them; but when Cleve
land vctoes pension for some galoot
who gets the collie twenty years after the
war-and very likely one who served 80
days for big bounty consideration
then great howl goes up from the Re-
publican press. It's mighty weak cam
paign literature.

The Opening hail ofthe season.

1t is safe to say that of the many
social dances held in Kimball in the past
none have been SO successful in point
of attendance and enjoyment as those
under the auspices of the fire department.
The one to be held next Wednesday
evening at the opera house promises to
be equal in every way TO any of the for
mer ones, and we look to see large
crowd present. The b est of music has
been secured; the fire laddies will be in
full dress uniform, and everyone who at.
tends may bank on most enjoyable
evening.

A Rich Musical Treat.

On Tuesday evening. the 18th inst,
our citizens and lovers of fine music are
to have the pleasure of an entertainment
by the Stewart Concert Company. The
company consists of five colorcd ladies
and gentlemen who not only make a
speciality of the popular jubilee singing,
but are highly cultivated singers of class
ical music as well and fine musicians
They are considered one of the best, if
not the best, colored concert troup trav-
cling. They have twice appeared in
Mitchell and are again billed for that
place. II was only through guarantee
of Il certain amount by some of our bust
ness men that the agent of the company
consented to play them here. Bills and
programs will be out in due time.

Relocating County Sea ts.

Down in Brule county the effort on
the part of kimball citizens to get vote
on the question of selecting the county
seat was frustrated by the board Of
county commissioners.-Iced.feld Journal
Frustrated" is good The journal
has got the right idea of it exactly. This
kind OF work by which board of county
commissioners monkey the majority Of
the people out of their rights is made
possible by defective law governing
the relocation of county seats. The
statutes say:
Whenever the inhabitants of any
county are desirous of changing the
place of their county seat, and upon pe-
titions being presented to the county
commissioners, signed by two-thirds Of
the qualified voters of the county it shall
be the duty of the said board, in the
notices of the next general election, to
notify said voters to designate upon
their ballots, at said election, the place OF
their choice
AS will be seen the law fails to provide
the method or basis upon which the
commissioners are to arrive at the mum.
Der of voters in the county.
This is where the law is lame.
The commissioners may proceed to de-
termine the number of voters in any
manner they may elect, no matter how
ridiculous or unreasonable the method.
There is only one right way to get a,
it which can be said to be both fair and
tcnable, and that is. to make the
number of votes cast at the last general
election the basis There is nothing new
or novel about this plan. On the con.
trary the idea is as old as the everlasting
hills. For years and years all political
parties have fixed the representation to
nominating conventions upon the mum.
Der of votes cast at the last general elect
ion. No other plan equally as practical
| has ever been devised.
1t would be both foolish and expen.
| sive idea for board Of commissioners to
attempt census of the county by can.
vass and any other plan, besides taking
the last election returns, becomes mere
matter of guess work the best that they
can do.
Then again, why split hairs over the
matter? Suppose that the board ,oere in
doubt whether petition contained Just
the required two-thirds. why not give
the petitioners the benefit of doubt an6
call the election! It's the votes that tel
not the petition. The people rule
or should. If the election goes in favor
of the petitioners the action of the board
has been sustained; if it goes the othel
way no harm has been done and it hasn'
cost the county penny.

nicality that allows the minority to rule

The Farmers and Iaborins Mems
EOnventlOn'' at PIankiutOu.

The GRAPHIC finds it quite difficult to
obtain any definite information regarding
the above convention, which took place
on the LIST inst, further than the following
special dispatch to the Mitchell Repudi-
can from Plankinton:
The farmers and laboring mems con-
vention for this legislative district met
in the court house and held secret con-
venton. Aurora county was represented
by about one-half of the delegates
named at Tuesdays convention, while
Dawson was represented by s. F. Goody-
koontz and Brule by Cap. Nugen. The
delegates do not seem inclined to make
the proceedings known, but it is learned
this evening from reliable source that
they came near throwing up the project
but Goodykoontz kept it alive and they
finally nomintted Nugen for the council
and Mr.. Closscn, of this county, for the
house with the understanding that Good
ykoontZ would see that Dawson county
named IA man to fill out the ticket.
Aurora county farmers are not cnthusi-
astic over this kind of Il scheme. but on
the contrary propose to devote their
time in working for straight nominees,
be they republican or democratic.

H. E. Gates: From recent files of
Dakota papers we learn that orr former
townsman, Henry Z. Gates. who is Pres
ident of the Farmers and Traders bank
at Kimball, Brule county. Dakota, has
received the nomination to the territorial
council from the fifth legislative district
of that territory The council in
Dakota is the same as the state senate in
New York. Although Mr.. Gates mas
been located in the west but short time
we. in common with multitude of st.
Lawrence county friends. find occasion
for rejoicing in the fact that his sterling
qualities of genuine manhood have been
so soon discovered and so generously
recognized by his fellow citizens in his
western home. AS the district in which
Mr.. Gates has been nominated is largely
Republican, his election is assured in ad-
vance, and from our intimate acquaint-
ance with him we hazard nothing in pre-
dieting that his official career will be
crowned with honor to himself, fidelity
