YANK1oN, S. D., Nov. 9.-[special.] j.
Governor Mellette has, during the last
week, instructed all the territorial
officers not to incur the expense OF
printing e!aborat te reports to. the legis.
lature, as has been the practice in the
past. The current expenses OF South
Dakota will be about 100000, while
the revenue under the present taxation,
will be only $4,000 per annum. The
members-elect OF the legislature are
greatly in favor OF economy, aud meas
ures will be introduced to abolish the
militia, the reform school at Plankin-
ton, which has only one inmate, and the
soldiers home, for which there is no
necessity. The expense OF the legislative
session is estimated at 81, 800 a day,
and it is probabable that the session
will not last longer than. forty days,
Governor Mellette says: s.The state
has splendid public institutions. but
owes every dollar OF the cost, and ex-
penses must be cut down. We are too
poor people and our real estate prop
erty is too heavily mortgaged, and our
our first duty is to free ourselves. The
curse OF South Dakota is the chattel
mortgages and the loan sharks who
charge 3 per cent. pr month. We
should lower this and also the rate on
real estate loans. Prohibition will be
help to us. We have done the right
thing upon this question, and we will Sc
cure a greater immigration. Our crops
are equal to former years. The one
great need is irregaton. Within 1000
feet all over the state Is an inexhaust-
able supply OF water, with power enough
to turn all the machinery in the wor d,
and moisture enough to fluctiiy the
Sahara DESERT"

Just now there is great deal OF spe

just now there is great deal OF spec
ulating being done on the action OF the
republican party both in Iowa and Da-
kota on the prohibition question. The
recent defeat OF the party in Iowa is at
tributed to the prohibition question
alone, and already the politicians are
clamoring for the repeal OF the law they
so recently declared to be the "settled"
policy OF the party. Even The Sioux
City Journal and the State Register.
both of which have derived their princi-
Pile support from the prohibition party
for several years, in payment for their
undivided support OF the principle, are
now weakening and pointing to the
downfall OF the party as a result Of the
law. While they do not in terms de-
mani the repeal OF the law, they have for
years declared was the cause Of more
happiness and prosperity in Iowa than
all the other laws combined, they COM
plain OF the result and tacitly acknowl-
edge they are ready to 60 back on the
principle for the sake OF again gaining
control of the political machinery of the
state. Last summer the republicans OF
Dakota, in convention assembled, de-
clared in favor OF constitutional prohi-
bition and pledged the representatives OF
the party to the enactment OF stringent
laws for the enforcement OF the constitu-
ton should it be enacted. Then came
the canvass, the election, and prohibi-
tion triumphed despite the immense out
lay OF money to defeat it. But the Iowa
result is having it's effect here and al
