THE CITY ELECTION
Will Make New Deal in Matters
Under the Act Adopted.
Special to the Globe.


Special to the Globe. e.t a.
Sioux FALLS, March 22.-The mu-
nicipai election which takes place April
is attended with great interest from
the fact that a complete rehabilitation
of the city government is~to be made.
The plan to abandon the old charter and
to reincorporate under the general law
was voted upon Tuesday and carried by
u comfortable majority, the total vote
being little more than one-third of the
vote of the city. The destruction of
the old incorporation is attended
by the retirement of all the city officers.
Eight aldermen, mayor, eight mem-
berS of the school board and clerk and
treasurer are to be elected. The gen.
eral act clothes the mayor with eXtraor
binary powers, such as the unlimited
authority of pardoning city criminals,
the power to appoint and suspend all
policemen on his own authority, and
with the concurrence OF the council to
appoint or suspend all other officers of
the city. The council has the power of
unlimited taxation, for the act of 1887,
which restricts taxation to 46 mills, will
be imperative under the reincorpora-
ton. The school board under the law
becomes body corporate in itself, with
power to sue and be sued, to contract
and pay all school bills. to hold in its
own name all the school property,
and other powers quite as far-reaching.
1t therefore, becomes
EXCEEDINGLY IMPORTANT
that trustworthy men be elected. No
caucuses have yet been held, although
the local papers are Historically show
Ing the importance of the election and
the danger of delay.
The general law IS not as good as it
was thought to be before it was given
study, and contains great many serious
defects. 1t was evidently passed hur-
riediy and earelessly, and needs
many amendments and substitu-
tons before it will give sat
isfaction to the large cities of the ter
ritory. 1t would never have carried
here, but but it was question between
taking an Objectionable law or stopping
all public Improvements for year; and,
of course, the voters chose the former.
The city will insist on member of
amendments. as soon as the first state
legislature convenes.

spirit if they hesitate to accept the
issue. In the North there is very gem
eral confidence that well-based and
vigorously waged campaign will show
that the Democrats carry the pole that
will knock the persimmons. This pre-
sumes live platform and we'll selected
ticket. Even last fall, when demon
allied by the big feud, they had major
tiles in more than third of the coun-
ties of the North. Democrats should
look the field over carefully and hope
fully, and assert themselves.

And Will p robably Rebuild as
Soon as the Stock Is Placed.
Special to the Globe.
DEADwooD, S. D., March 22.-The
insurance companies have adjusted the
losses in connection with the reduction
works, and it is generally regarded as a
very fair and equitable adjustment. The
building, machinery and other appur-
tenances of the works were insured for
sS35, 600. The loss was almost total so
far as the machinery was concerned,
but the foundations of the building and
some other parts can be used in con-
strueting new works. What the plans
of the company are no one except the
directors knows, and 1t is doubtful if
they do. Col. Carpenter is i'm st. Paul,
it is said, for the purpose of placing
some of the stock, anu a rumor reached
here this week that he had succeeded in
placing 1900 shares, or $4,000 worth.
&. G. Hicllok is in Omaha, it is said, for
the same purpose, but all this is mere
gossip of the street, and can be traced
to no reliable source. 1t is the general
opinion that the works will be rebuilt,
whatever the opinion may be worth.
Stocks are flat as pancake, and
brokers have to rustic to pay their rent.
If it were not for the demand for county
and city paper they would have very
little to do.

THE FACTS STRAINED

in the Yankton Asylum Case.

10 MAX Z Il fOAuI Against SntifCn
in the Yankton Asylum Case.
Special to the Globe.
YANKToN, S. d., March GA Sioux
Falls correspondent of the Minneapolis
Tribune says, in speaking of the Yank-
ton insane asylum:
''For ten years there has been scan
dial in the management of that institu-
tion."
In the next paragraph he says:
GAS there never was any scandal in
connection with any public institution
before the advent of the Church admin
istration, it is confidently believed that
hereafter, under Republican rule, none
will be heard Of"
Just how the Sioux Falls gentleman
can reconcile these two statements, it is
difficult to understand. Gov. Church's
administration lasted less than three
years. AS there has been "a scandal in
the asylum management for ten years."
it is quite apparent that seven years of
the scandal must have occurred under a
Republican administration. 1t seems to
be a case of pot call the kettle black !''

GRAND FORKS. n. D., March -
There has beer considerable contro-
versy in relation to the law regarding
residence in the territory before voting.
The recent legislature passed an amend
ment to the existing law. changing sec
ton Al of chapter 81 entirely, so as to
require one years residence in the
United States and six months in the
territory, instead of ninety days in the
territory, before being qualified to vote.
This bill was approved March 1. and
many persons were not ware that any
change had been made. The law further
says, one years residence in the terri
tory is necessary before any Office can
be held. but also says, this law shall
not deprive any person of his vote who
is now entitled thereto under the exist
ing laws of the territory Some law
yers claim that everybody must have
lived here the full length of time speci-
fed in the new law, while others claim
any person who had lived here ninety
days preceding the approval of the bill
is entitled to vote. This will no doubt
be grave question which will come up
on Tuesday. when the last registering
will be done

DAKOTA NIPS.

The haste shown by the administra-
ton in the territorial appointments eX-
hibits an intensityof partisanship that
was unknown under MI. CLEVELAND.
1t will be remembered that PIERCE was
half. There might be some excuse for
asking CHURCH to step down, as he had
made the Republicans and good many
Democrats mad, and got things in sort
of middle; but only partisan cOnsidera-
lions could instigate the unbecoming
haste in other changes--as, for instance,
the secretary, who was Endorsed by the
legislature as an impartial and efficient
officer. There is no claim that other
than partisan motives dictated this rush
in the matter.
~
There is suggestion of combination
in the North for senators of Judge Nc
CoNNELL and Hon. GEORGE Ell. WALSH.
If there is a disposition to broaden out
a little in political way, that would be
a strong combine. MCCONNELL is a
popular Democrat and WALSH a popu-
lar Republican as names go, but as re-
CARDS measures and public policies
there would be difficulty in finding any
serious divergence between them.

There ought to be very little delay in
the appointment of the commission to
secure the crooked scrawls of the Sioux
to the act opening the reservation.
There was rush to get the governor
and other officials out, for party rea-
sons; but there is little concern as to
who may be named to do this work, so
that they are capable and active. 1t
ought to be completed by June. All
the information from the Indians is IA
vorable. Even the old termagant SIT
TING BULL is said to chuckle with glee
over the liberal terms they have
wrenched out of the government. The
Lower Brule and Crow Creek Indians
are understood to have decided to eXer-
else their privilege of selecting lands
south of the White river. and leave all
north for white settlers. 1t will be
more satisfactory for both races to have
separate districts entirely.

Since the legislature adjourned it
seems to have come to light that blind
pig hibernated in the basement of the
capitol. With prohibition legislature,
some are inclined to impertinent in
uuiries as to his means of subsistence.
-
The newspapers in the North seem
to he going ahead to frame the legisla-
tive districts without waiting for the
board of division to act. The latter
| may insist upon taking hand.
80
If the view is correct that new bonds
and commissions are needed for all
postmasters on becoming state, it may
be assumed that all Democrats still
| holding at that time Will be left out
| even if their terms have not expired.
This will make clean sweep in both
states. 1t, however. is red tape re-
| quiz ement, and may be avoided, per-
haps, unless an excuse is wanted to get
all Democrats out.

The indications are that the wheat
can all be sown early, which is gener-
ally good start toward good harvest.
The wise policy seems to be to sow all
the acreage possible, and don't risk
doubtful seed more than you are
obliged to. 1t is apparently certain that
the prices will be made better than the
average of the few years past. as there
is good deal less wheat in the world
than usual.

SIOUX FALLS, March 22.-The comfy
commissioners have been in session
three days this week to select site for
the new $50, 900 court house to be put
up here this spring. They unfortu-

the commissioners rooms were crowded
to everfowing with men anxious to
boom some special part of the city.
Something between 100 and 200 speeches
were made, after which the commits
sioners located it, where. perhaps, not
more than one taxpayer in ten wanted
it. A protest was at once circulated and
signed by 500 men, but before it was
presented the commissioners adj
journed. There is large talk of an ill.,
junction to restrain building, but it is
likely that the feeling will quiet down
by the time the masons are ready to be-
gin work. The building is to be put mp
