Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1886-09-16

In the republican caucuses which
occurred in Yankton yesterday there
was no contest more than that which
naturally arises over choice of men in
the minds of those participating. The
sentiment was unanimously for Gifford's
nomination and the caucuses were for
the election of delegates to Saturdays g
county convention, which will choose
delegates to the territorial congressional
convention. To properly represent the
views of the people of Yankton county
the convention of Saturday should
adopt resolutions in behalf OF division
and in behalf OF Judge Clifford and his
congressional course and favoring his
nomination for another term. Yankton
county should go into the territorial
convention with its wishes clearly de-
fined and its delegates committed to
carry out the undoubted desires of the
people.

Dakota Huronite: The Press and

ton of the capital commission on the

Hnronite is scarcely lawyer enough to
know Just what action is necessary, but
II hopes 1t has common sense enough to
know that some action should be pr romnr
tiy adopted to secure the people against
burdens that were never contemplated
by vast majority of these who acquies-
ced peacefully in the bill, and the mon
strous action under it. Whatever is
done should be done with skill enough
and care and caution enough to secure
the end sought. The people were piedR-
ed, In the most solemn and emphatic
manner that the removal of the capital
from Yankton, under that commission,
should absolutely cost them nothing
They were pledged that fret class capitol
buildings should be erected by contrib.
ution of the particular locality in which
they should be located, without one cent
of cost to the people in geueral They
were pledged that the capital should be
conveniently located for the convenience
OF the people, with o view to the division
of the territory by an east and west line
leaving the people of the unprovided por-
ton free to establish their own capital
in their own way, uninhuenced by the
location under the capital commission
bill, and unburdened by any taxation
growing out of it. No brave and honest
people will submit, not even for the sake
OF peace, to such outrage as is involved
in the proposed violation Of these pledges.
Such action is needed, and demansd
at the earnest practicable moment, as
will set these questions at rest. The pso-
pie must be free from the evil threat
ened and made free of the fear of it, or
there will he trouble.

Going the rounds of the territorial
press is statement that tbs terri
torial auditor, in sending to south Da-
kota county clerks notification OF the
special levy of two.tenths of mill in
south Dakota counties for constitutional
convention expenses, accompanied the
notification with confidential letters ask.
ing the county clerks to "keep certain
matters confidential" This unsubs.an-
tiated assertion is doubtless pure
romance. The territorial auditor could
have no reason for advocating clan
destine levy and he is not the kind OF o
man to aid and abst an illegal levy.
The law says plainly that south Dakota
shall pay the expense of south Dakota
convention and i'll compliance with this
law the levy has been made. 1t is hardly
supposable that there is any disposition
in the south to expect the northern
counties to help pay the expenses Of o
purely southern gathering gathering
held for the express purpose of arrang.
ing terms for separation from the
north. We do not believe Auditor Cald.
we'll attempted any undetermined work
in connection with this levy.

Coffee Takes q Rise N Price.

;. New York, Sept. l4-During the past
week or two the coffee market has been
greatly excited at times, and dealings
have reached very large proportions.
Some speculative transactions were oyer
10000 bags. The rise is attributed to
several causes. Gable advices from Rio
and Hayre have been of Strengthening
character, besides there is a heavy de-
crease in the receipts and the visible
supply, as compared with this time in
July. Prices show gain of over two
cents per pound. Recent heavy pnr-
chase of spot grades added strength to
the situation. Back of ell, the crop is
short as much as ,500,00U0 bags. Some
parties appear to think the rise has only
Just begun, while others say the market
was well strained. To-day prices were
higher by i've to ten points, and the
feeling barely steady.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 14-In the United
States court the opinion of Judge
Brewer was filed this moning in case of
great Importance, involving the powers
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe to
extend its. Lines in other states and ter
rltories outside OF Kansas. The suit
was brought by Clarence FL. Venner, OF
Boston to restrain the Atchison from
acuuiriIg the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
in Texas and from building through the
Indian territory to connect with thet
road. Venner, who was stockholder,
claimed it was violation OF the charter
of the Atchison to purchase other roads,
and that the laws OF Kansas did not
authorize such purchases. The case was
argued in July, and on account of it's
Importance was taken under advisement
by Judge Brewer. The Judge sustains
the power Of the Atchison to acquire the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe, both by
virtue OF its charter and of subseuuent
statut ties OF the state of Kansas.

Sensational developments relative to

He also oontempiates giving the inside
history of the star route business. In
regard to the work General Brady says;
I have shielded lot of hypocrites and
moral towards long enough, and there is
nothing left for mo to do but to publish
the true inside history OF these events.

Rosseau's private memoirs, ut is mighty
interesting reading, but he was id
fool to publish them" I can't help
what any body may say, it is my time
now to speak out, and shall do SO fully

forthcoming literary work and it will
give the book boom. Perhaps this is
what Brady is working for.

The question of honest valuation on
the part OF county assessors is still being
warmly discussed aud upon the subject
the territorial auditor has this to say in
his annual circular to county officials:
Those counties which refused to adopt
fair scale as required by law, but listed
property at figures representing only a
per centage of it's actual value, get q rate
of taxation which is by no means credita-
BILE to them; and as the same assessment
must be taken as basis for all the taxa.
tlon 10 the county, the rate in scme cases
will be so high as to deter investments
and bring discredst on the county. The
adoption of low scale of valuation
brings no advantage whatever. Ii the
county adopts a low scale of valuation on
property, the total amount of the ASSESS
ment is low, and in order to realize the
proportional sum referred to above, the
rate levied upon this assessment for terri
torlal purposes must be correspondingly
high. 1t seems strange that after all
that has been said in regard to this
matter. there are some counties which
persist in scaling property low in order
to shirk their share of territorial taxes.
Not one OF them have saved anything
by it, and no county which has adopted
a high rate of valuation has lost any
thing by it.

In Hyde county the prohibition
movement has become an element in a
heated political contest waged at the
primariea. AS there can be no. legal
prohibition in Dakota except through
the workings of the local option law, it
is probable that the effort in Hyde
is based upon possibility of abolishing
the saloon under that enactment
through the action of the county com.
nissioners. The territory at large will
watch with interest this attempt upon
the part OF the law and order element OF
Hyde to abolish cause Of lawIess-
ness in one OF Dakota's new counties.
