THERE was considerable venom
wrapped up in the attack made by the
News last week on the board Of county
commissioners with reference to the
salary Of the district attorney. With
out going into an argument as to
whether the sa~lary(slooo) is too large or
too small, we haye a splendid ,lluetra-
ton. in the position Of the News on this
subject. Of the great and overpowerlng
desire Of our Democratic friends for
reform: 1t i, no discred,t to the
board to say that they are not familiar
with all tho decisions of the supreme
court. There is a decision OF that
body to tho effect that when the bond of
= district attorney, or.anyys other salaried
officer, has been accepted the amount
OF salary. paid his predecessor cannot
be changed except 70 increase il. The
board thought the salary should he de.
creased. and tho matter had been dis.
cussed to some extent prior to the
slec.ion-in fact, before it WAS known
who would be district attorney. The
mistake made by the board was in &C.
cepting the bond before fixing the. sal
AIRY. When the bond was accepted the
district attorney sprung the supreme
court decision upon the board aud his
salary was saved ny Il legal techn,cality.

THURSDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE debate
Oh live Dakota admission bill was
finished this afternoon and the bill was
read for amendment. Springer moved
to strike out an after. the enact,ng
clause aud to substitute the omnibus
bill.
Burrows raised u. point of order
against the substitute. He rested his
point upon the rule which says: mo
motion on a subject differing from that
under consideration shall DO admitted
under color Of an amendment" He
cited numerous decisions OF former
speakers in support of Ills position. The
speaker sustained the point of order
and ruled the substitute out.
Among the changes proposed we're,
on motion OF Clifford Of Dakota, grant
ing 10000 acres for the support Of an
agricultural college IN the state Of Da.
kota, providing that the lands sold for
common school purposes shall not be
sold for less than $40 per acre. and the
salary Of district judge was reduced
from $1,000. to $500.
The 9th Of April, 1889, wa fixed ~
the date Of the election to be held to
decide the question Of the accsptance of
boundaries and name Of new state.
On motion Of Clifford, an amendment
was agreed to providing that at this
election state officers shall 10 elected
and also two members Of congress.
Springer moved to strike out the on.
acting clause and insert house bill s468
with certain amendments.
The speaker ruled that this was not
in order. All the gentlemen had a right
to do was to offer as u substitute for the
senate bill house bill s466. Springer
thereupon offered that bill as q suhsti.

Burrows raised a point of order agains,
itbut subsequently, Withdrew it.

Springer then asked unanimous con.
sent that the previous substitute offered
by him Zone providing division for Da,
