NOT MUCH MATTER.

1t probably does not make very great
difference whether the Sioux Falls con-
stitution is voted up or down in May.
If voted down, the July convention
would still use most of it. adding the
changes evidently needed. To vote it
up is simply to vote that the new con-
ventIon is not capable of the manage
ment of tire matter, and must have its
hands tied. 1t is amusing to note the
variety and cOlliding character of the
reasons urged for vote either way.
Some will vote for it because it has pro-
hibition as one OF its clauses, apparently
not comprehending that prohibition
must be voted up or down in October
as separate matter, regardless of the
vote in May. Some opposed to prohibit
ton will also vote for it. for fear new
convention would get up stronger
prohibitOry feature. So with minority
representation. That is to he voted on
10y itself in October. just as prohibition
is. Some imagine that it will help the
provision to vote for the constitution,
and others oppose it because they favor
the minority feature. 1t would not be
bad plan for the voter to put in little
time in the study of the enabling act
and Sioux Falls constitution before the
voting time

THE CAPITAL FIGHT.

If the South Dakota towns had one
fourth of the eXtravagant sums credited
them to secure the capital with. and the
natural course of financial campaigns
in the states should be followed, votes
would command higher price than
they ever did in Indiana; but no town is
going to put up $500, 900, or even S100, 600.
That may be set down as a fact. The
vote in 1885 will hardly show the pres
ent relative strength of the towns, as
the new candidates will divide the vote
and some sections have settled up more
rapidly than others. Then Huron won
with 1855 votes; Pierre had 1854,
Sioux Falls 1898, Alexandria 1874, and
Chamberlain 3,232. Now Watertown
and Redfeld, with M itchelI, Miller,
Aberdeen, and Lawrence, probably,
will come into the ring. Perhaps
some smaller places will also de-
eide to enter. 1t will require more
than a knowledge of geography and
the census to determine the relative
standing of the towns. There may be
good deaf of voting before there is a
final selection, as the enabling act
provides for vote in October. and the
Sioux Falls constitution provides for
another vote, and second one if no
town has a majority at the first
election

TO SPITE SPRINGER.

One of the Republican papers at
Bro0kings, in county where Demo-
Gratis are hardly numerous enough to
get out of the list of scattering, is so
intensely partisan that it wants mi
nority representation slaughtered be-
cause it was introduced in the enabling
act by Mr.. SPRINGER, and might occa-
sionally let few Democrats into the
legislature. 1t has the singular i'm
preston that the adoption of the Sioux
Falls constitution will in some way
work against the proposed system and
spite Mr.. SPRINGER. That gentleman
will no doubt grieve at such result,
should he happen to note It's occurrence :;
but more effective method to worry
him would be to send him leather
medal. The May vote will have no
effect upon minority representation
either way. 1t will be voted Oh as a
distinct proposition in October, in any
event. The enabling act requires this.
The minority feature in Illinois was
originated and most vigorously advo-
Gated by the editor of the Chicago
Tribune. 1t is not favored specially
by Democrats in that state. and should
stand on its merits, regardless of Mr..
SPRINGER or any other man.

WILL SERVE OUT.

A good many people of all parties
have signed petition to the president
to retain E. W. MILLER as receiver of
the Huron land Office to the expiration
of his term. None question that he is
faithful and efficient officer, and not
open to any other disparagement than
that he is Democrat. He can be re-
moved for no other reason than that his
politics are wrong and some Republi-
can wants his place. But it is singular
that any Republican should have so
little confidence in the civil service pro-
fesSions of the president as to sign pc
titiOn to remind hun of them. Nearly
all the land officials in the territory
have from one to three years to fill out
their terms. and as there is complaint of
none of them so far as known, it is not
probable that there will be any Iemov-
ais. None were removed by Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND. The incumbents need give them
selves little apprehension of removal,
but no Democrat need expect to be con-
tinued day beyond his four years. 1t
is believed the offices have never been
more faithfully and efficiently managed
than they are now.

Redfield captured the prize because she
made the best offer. Besides donating
ten acres as a campus the citizens
raised by subscription $1,000 in cash,
all of which has been paid. The build

RAPID CITY, S. D.. March ga copy
of the London Mining Journal, which
was received in this city recently, con-
tains an advertisement on behalf OF the
Harvey Peak Tin Mining company for
skilled mechanics, miners, tin dressers,
etc, for Dakota. These men are being
secured. it seems, for the tin mines near
Rapid City, and from two sources it is
learned that the number to be set to
work this year is at least 1000. One of
these sources of information is the re-
port OF Prof. Vincent published some
ten months ago, in which he recon-
| mended the employment of 1,500 men
the first year. Prof. Vincent is Oh his
way to this place from New York city
for the purpose of experimenting the
work which he advised, and it is pre-
Sumed that he intends to observe the de-
tails recommended 10y him. The second
source of information is private letter

| the facts, received here by prominent
! citizen of Rapid. That letter States that
1000 men are to be brought

because they understand that species of
mining.
Whether the many stories, which seem

Vote.
Special TO the Globe.
REDFIELD, OAK, March %. = The
building of the Forest City railway
bridge and the extension of the North
western into the Hills is a pretty well
settled fact. Eleven carloads of ties
were shipped west from here yester-
day, to be used in the extension. Real
estate is beginning to pick up in value
on account of the Frightening of our
capital prospects, and several import
ant transfers have recently been made.
Reliable information also comes from
the Black Hills that Redfield will
get a strong vote in that sec
ton. Politicians in the mining
district are not unmindful of the fact
that in the gallant fight they made at
two consecutive sessions of the legiS-
Iature IN behalf of the Hot Springs SOL
diers' home that SPHINX county'S repre-
sentatives were among the strongest
friends the measure had. AT the last
session Commander Hammond, of this
county. was the strongest advocate the
bill had in Bismarck. All this was done,
too, without expectation OF future re-
ward but it is safe to predict that the
Black Hills people will not forget their
friend. It is also we'll known fact
that in their attempt TO carry out their
fayorite project the representatives of
at least one-third who now claim the
Hills support were foremost in OPP
posing the measure. True, it is claimed
at late stage in the game, the Pierre
people saw their mistake and tried to
remedy it, but it was then too late. 1t
is. under the circumstances. only rea-
sOnable to suppose that they can expect
in return no better than they gave.
