Another View of the Case.

Rapid City Republican: In discuss
ing the proposition to re-submit the
Sioux Falls constitution the Huronite
has the following:
Upon all questions to be voted on,
except that of the capital, it is propos-
ed to make the vote decisive: to settle
the questions involved for all time.
Why should not this rule apply to the
capital location as we'll?
Looking at it from {. Huron stand
point, as the Huronite does, it would
indeed be well to apply the rule to the
vote upon the location of the capital
for in that case it is probable that HUI
ron would be the capital city for all
time. But there are towns beyond HUI
ron end rivers beyond the jim. An
election upon the question of capital
location at the present tine would
probably place the capital at some
point not far from the center of South
Dakota's population. Beyond doubt
the center Of population In the future
will be q considerable distance west of
Huron. The geographical center will
be found much nearer the Missouri
than the Jim. This is why the vote
which it is proposed to take should
not "settle the question for all time"

The legislative iconoclasts at Bis
marck, having started in to wipe out
everything on the statute books, and
to make banking and raiiroading and
buying and selling and existence itself
more or less of crime, are now about
to direct their attention to those prey
ing wolves upon society, those bloated
monopolies-the newspapers. These
selfish, grasping institutions, that have
had the presumption to ask the same
consideration which is extended to
other lines Of business, must be re-
buked, and straightway some member
introduces bill to cut down fees for
legal printing, and another jealous Ie-
former draws up an act to take the
county printing away from ell but one
paper in a county, without reference to
whether it has one hundred readers OF

A Freak of Nature.

At Tunnel Hill, nls., there is a won
derful freak of nature. D. F. Beauman,
proprietor of the Maple Grove stock
farm, and one of the largest stock breed
ers in southern Illinois, has full
blooded short horn COW that gave birth
to a two-headed bull calf recently. The
heads are perfectly developed, and are
on two separate necks. The lusus natur@
has four ears, four eyes, two mouths and
two tongues. The heads are well devel-
oped in all respects, and it is curious to
see them move as if by separate impulses.
This double headed freak of nature is
sound in body and perfectly formed, and
seemingly is hearty and strong.-New
York Telegram.

The Springer omnibus bill has finally
passed the house with the following

The Springer omnibus bill has finally
passed the house with the following
amendment:
Providing that if the division of Da-
kota is authorized and a majority of
all the votes cast at the election pro-
vided for iii the act shall be in favor of
the Sioux Falls constitution of 1885 it
shall be the duty of the convention
which may assemble at Sioux Falls to
resubmit to the people of South Da-
kota for~Tatification or rejection the
Sioux Falls constitution of 1885 and
also the articles separately submitted
at that time, i7.czt,di1lg the temporary
seat Of government, with such changes
as relate to the name and boundaries
of the proposed state to the reapportiop-
ment of judicial and legislative dis
tricts, and such other amendments as
may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the act.
While this is not all that Dakota
could wish or that she has right to
ask, it is something gained. The bill
will now go to the senate, and from
there into the hands of a conference
committee. The fear of an extra ses-
sion on the part of the democrats may
induce them to make further conces-
sions and while we are nots oversan-
guine, there is good reason to hope that
a reasonably satisfactory measure will
become a law at this session. Once
the certainty of South Dakota's state
hood is established, the stimulating
effect will make itself felt even though
the actual consummation may be de-
layed few months.

The Yankton Press, which cannot
be accused of any selfish intersstin in the
matter, remarks pertinently Oh the po-
sition taken by the democratic delega-
tion at Washington: j
This proposition would amend the
Platt bill to the extent of providing for
a new election of officers. It would
provide that all of the product of the
work of the Sioux Falls constitutional
convention be re-submitted to- the peo-
pie excepting the temporary location
of the capital. Are the democratic
statesmen who went to Washington
booming Huron property? AS disin-
terested spectator Yankton would like
to see the capital question re-submitted
with the others.
The latest amendment to both the
Platt and the omnibus bills, however,
meets the objection raised by the Press,
and justifies the position first taken by
the REPUBLICAN, and agreed in by the
press and representative men of two
thirds of the towns ofSouth Dakota.

A splendid cure for frost bites is a
solution of alum and water, strong as
can he made. Hold the frosted flesh in
the solution till the frost is drawn out.
This you will know easily, as the flesh
will look wrinkled as ones hands do on
wash days. You will feel no more in
convenience from that frost bite.

excellent law which insures newspa-
pers fair prices for their work, which
gives the important proceedings of
county boards the widest circulation
at a nominal cost to each taxpayer.
and which protects in measure legiti-
mate enterprises from the disastrous
competition of concerns kept up by
charity or run at the expense of their
creditors is to be repealed, and in its
place there will be an enactment
which will bring q return of the old
time methods.
No fair newspaper will. object to a
reasonable modification of the present
law in some of its features, particularly
that one which places such arbitrary
power in the hands of the auditor in
the matter of insurance statements;
nor cah there be any strong objection
to grading the price of publishing the
same according to circulation, as all
other advertising is graded. But to
again leave the publisher at the mercy
of foreign companies working through
advertising agencies, and to force a
paper with 1900 circulation to make
the same figures as one with 800, will
be little short of all outrage. So far
as home companies are concerned, they
are desirous of paying fair price and
placing their statements where they
will do the most good; but the ma
jerity of the foreign companies care to
comply only with the letter of the law,
and are satisfied to print their figures
where 1t can be done the cheapest.
Let the law be amended to allow the
insurance companies to choose their
own newspapers in each district, and
let the rate per square be classified
to meet the range Of circulation among
the different papers.
So tar as the matter OF county COM
missioners' proceedings is concerned,
we fail to see wherein the law can be
improved. The intent of this publica-
tion is that every taxpayer may know
w l4ttG tl1C Itl0 QOluE
from time to time. AT present this is
absolutely assured by such publication
in three papers in the county, at an
expense for each of twenty-five cents
per square, or of about $4 a column,
less than the average rate of any news
paper conducted on right business
principles. Under the old law such
publication was often let to the lowest
bidder regardless of circulation, and
quite as frequently given out as po-
litical plunder, without reference to
the fact that the taxpayers of one
party were as much interested esthose
of opposite politics.
In the matter Of other legal publica-
tions, their scope might be extended
with perfect propriety, and il this he
done, the rate would stand some modi-
tication; but to again demoralize the
newspaper business of the territory by
forcing legitimate enterprises to meet
the competition of irresponsible out.
fits, here today and somewhere else to-
morrow, on the one hand, and to con-
tend with the grasping demands of
the middle men for commissions, on
the other, is not fair nor reasonable.

The total number present at this

ton were telegraphed to Judge Palmer.
Resolutions were also telegraphed
favoring division and admission and a
new constitutional convention for
South Dakota, and strongly urging a
new election of officers.
