Common Sense Talk.

Redfield Journal: The Journal be-
lieves that it voices the sentiment of
the people of Sphinx county when it de-
clares unequivocally in favor of en-
forcing the law. personal liberty"
has cut its biggest figure in the tenn
perance issue. That trump card has
been played and it was not strong
enough to win the game. The supreme
courts of the territory and of the Unit
ed States have placed the seal of ap-
proval upon prohibitory legislation as
applied to the liquor traffic. Prohibi-
tion has been declared constitutional.
All law abiding citizens should unite
for the enforcement of the law. Friend
ship is not to be considered as an OBJ
struction to the enforcement of law.
The Journal has no quarrel with any
license man or with any saloon keeper.
1t counts among them some of it's most
esteemed friends. But the law should
be enforced. We do not know person.
ally that it is not; nor do we know that
it is. There is no use in raising a hub
bub about it in either case. Go quiet
ly and systematically to work to en-
force it. Public sentiment demands it:
public sentiment will sustain it.

The Black Hills and the Delegate.

Lead City Herald: 1t is asserted
that the selection of Watertown as the
place for holding the territorial con-
vention for the nomination of dele
gate in congress is an advantage gained
by the Palmer element. We do not
think so. We cannot think that the
people of south Dakota Will allow
themselves to be so completely bam-
boozled as to give Palmer the slightest
show for nomination at the hands of
the convention. 1t is doubtful if his
name will be mentioned. The repub-
licans are so strong in this territory
that nomination is equivalent to an
election, therefore we are forced to
take up the issue when such men as
Allen and Palmer are mentioned. We
have no interest In the matter except
the nominee be good man qualified
for the place. Be he republican or demo-
crat, if he is true Dakotaian, is In ia.
vor of division and the immediate ad-
mission OF the southern half, he is en-
titled to the full support of his party,
and If the republicans of Dakota put
up doubtful man on this subject he
should be and most surely will be de-
feated at the polls providing the demo-
Gratis make proper selection. Palmer
or Allen neither one could carry a
Black Hills county, and we doubt very
much whether they could very many
counties of south Dakota.

Specimen Washington rramps.

1t is quite astonishing the number of well
meaning people who como up to Washington
in search of pension. They seem to think
that all they have to do is to make personal
application at the bureau and the money viii
be handed out to them at once There is Q
general impression that nearly everybody Is
getting q pension; that the pot is boiling,
and now is the time to dip in. A few days
ago forlon looking man walked into the
pension bureau. He had walked 800 miles
from near Wheeling, w. Va He had but
one shoe, was penniless and hungry and SIM
pleas any man must be who would do such
foolish thing He could not legally prove
that he was entitled to "a pension, and Of course
could not get one In fact, he could not
prove anything, and in sort Of half da1ed
condition he started to walk back. Some Of
the clerks In the bureau passed around the hat
and raised 81 for him, that he might not
starve on the road.
Washington is q bad place for poor man
without friends The proper way for all
seeking pensions 10 10 put their claim into
tho hands Of an agent. They run no risk In
doing this, since the law protects them IS
regards fees. II Is just as foolish for the
well to do Vermont farmer to make Jour-
ney to Washington, hoping 10 get q PEN
sion, a. It was for the tramp from West
Virginia. Pensions are only granted after
certain facts have been legally proved.
And the place 10 do that Is ut home.-Euller

The California Boom.

Dayton, co.: Democrat: The other
day Los Angeles paper printed thirty
eight pages of delinquent tax list, en-
bracing i4,027 pieces of land. Such is
the California real estate boom.
Kimball Graphic: And still the ur-
bane land agents of the Pacific slope
continue to beguile hundreds of tender
foots to the land of endlessA sunshine
and sand, where the said tenderfoots
plant their spare change in a margin
on some lot at a fabulous price, leave
it for sale in the bands of some real
estate shark and return home to await
in perpetual fever of hope news that
their investment has turned out to be
worth thousands. Alas! to most of
them the only news that ever comes is
a newspaper containing their names in
a delinquent tax list. Howa sane man
can ride through a country where land
can be had all the way from $1GO down
to nothing an acre, and buy land at
the end of his trip at from $25 to 500
a foot, passes understanding But they
do it and rue it, and that is all there IS
to it. It's a free country, and man
has a right to make a blankety blank
fool of himself if he wants to.

The New Hampton Wreck.

A. e. Hitchcock, Esq, who was a
passenger on the 1. & d. train which
was wrecked near New Hampton, Iowa,
Thursday morning. arrived in the city
Saturday, and was kept busy most of
the day relating his experiences. lie
had taken the train but short time
before it went off, and was sound
asleep in the sleeper when the shock
of derailment came. He arose and
dressed himself, not dreaming of the
nature of the disaster until some of
the wounded were brought into the
car. On getting outside he discovered
that the engine had gone down the
embankment, the baggage car had
been hurled ahead by the engine,
while the smoker was piled partially
on top of the latter, and both loco.
motive and baggage car were SUBJ
merged by the rushing water which
was rising rapidly. Mr.. Hitchcock
thinks the train was running about
thirty miles an hour when the accident
occurred, though conductor Morse
claims he had given the engineer Or
ders to run slowly three stations back.
The two day coaches and the sleeper
went off the track, but remained up
right and no one in them was hurt.
The smoker was filled largely with en-
igrants. Jacob SchaetZel, of Sioux
Falls, had been in the car smoking, but
thought the train was going too fast
and started back to the sleeper, where
his wife was. AS he went out the door
the train went off and he was badly
cut on the hand, while the man who
took his seat in the smoker was in
stantly killed. The engineer, as is
known, was crushed to death by the
smoker, but the fireman escaped un-
hurt, and was one Of the first to emerge
from the wreck, crawling up through
a window of the smoking car most de-
cidedly dazed. "A passenger was seen
perched upon the smokestack for a mo-
ment, and then crawled down, struck
-otf across the prairie and was not seen
again. The baggage and express men
were bruised but not seriously. while
the forward brakeman was soalded.
Conductor Morse, who was in the coach
next to the sleeper, was not hurt. Mr..
Hitchcock says: "There were two pos
sible causes for the accident-one, the
overflow from the river which covered
the track between the culvert and the
bridge at that point with water and
ice; and the other, the washing away
of the embankment by the high water" !"
Six dead were taken out, and there
may be others buried under the wreck
or carried down the stream by the
current.

Fighting Oyer the Spoils.
Minneapolis Journal:

Who stays by Church. runs not away.
viii stop to fight one NJ. H. Day.
And the chances are that he will
have to fight hard. Carpet-bag rule
has been prolific source of discord in
the Democratic party of Dakota. The
spectacle is presented of disfran-
chised people comprising 100000 souls,
governed by a nonresident of the ter
ritory prior to his appointment to
office, one who represents a party in a
minority in the territory. and whose
policy seems to be governed by the po-
litical requirements of that party
rather than the best interests OF the
people over whom he rules. 1t is not
strange that there should be open, Or
ganized rebellion in the ranks of that
minority.
Gu the other hand, it does not appear
that Mr.. Days 1nuJlny against the
powers that be is impelled by any high
minded desire to serve the interests
which Governor Church has SO Woe
fully neglected. The division oi the
spoils Is apparently the primary basis
OF the dispute which Threatens dire re-
suits to the democracy VI Dakota. The
interviews with both Churcs: and Day,
recently published i'll the Journal, COLI
firm this assumption. Each accuses
the other OF 1alselood and bad faith, in
the great work ofrestoiing harmony"
or, to he explicit, in the division OF the
patronage, aud it is hardly worth while
to deny the assertions OF either. And
so it is to be war to the Knife"
Is this not monstrous and humilia-
ting state of affairsY 1t might easily
be remedied by giving Dakota justice.
The division and admission OF Dakota
into the union would relegate the car
pet-bag administration to ubscufiIy,
give the people of the territory thei.
rightful privilege of governing them
selves, and confer the one thing need
ful to secure beyond doubt the brilliant
possibilities which the natural resour-
ces and advantages of Dakota promise
for the future.

A Significant Utterance. .

Kansas City Times: It took q strong
law and order movement to get Chica-
go out of the control of saloons and
gamblers. The same class of people
are honestly trying to prevent the as
tendency of saloons and irresponsible
men in Kansas City. We do not want
ten years reign of the saloon here,
and if the law and order people cannot
succeed In having the laws enforced,
the sentiment will change from the
moderation of having the present laws
obeyed to trial Of prohibition under
