SHE'S ALL RIGHT.

Ii is an absurd use of language to
speak of Dakota as bankrupt because
the treasury is empty. If the vacuity
was due to lack of resources. there
would be peTtinency in the use of the
word. There has been laundering and
lack of business sagacity somewhere
The shortage is apparently due to the
failure of the PIERCE administration to
levy tax sufficient to meet the eXpend-
itures and appropriations of the legiS-
lature. The effort to attach blame to
the present executive and his official
cabinet looks more like partisanship
than honest criticism II there has
been any money paid not in accordance
with law, the legislature ought to look
into the matter and bring the culpable
parties to the front. AS there is but
one Democrat out OF forty-eight men,
bers of the house, and three OF the
twenty-four in the council, it is rot
dangerously probable that the Demo
cratic party can throw any blankets
around official shortcomings. Let no
guilty man escape was once Repub-
lican motto, and in case of a Democrat.
at least, the legislature is not likely to
forget it. There is no occasion. how
ever, to send out any reports calculated
to enfeeble Dakota credit III the East.
Dakota is all right, If it does have to
borrow little for time.

1T WILL NOT PASS.

There is 70 doubt that large major
ity of the members of the legislature
are in favor of the enactment of pro-
hibitory laws, and under ordinary cir
cumstances would pass almost any
thing the reformers on that line might
agree upon. The fact noted with so
much JUNCTION in some quarters that
only three or four members ever indulge
in anything inebriating, at least in pub
lie is a matter of small moment to the
public, and not basis of inference.
Personal habits have little to do in
such cases. Very stringent temperance
laws are often passed by men who are
not governed by their spirit, and total
abstainers cannot be depended upon to
embody their personal preferences in
legislation. The logic of the situation
is adverse to legislation Oh temperance
at this session. The latest popular
expression has been against the contin-
uance of the restrictive system in
nearly all the larger counties that have
had experience, and the people of these
counties expect their members to take
note of this fact. Then the states COM
ing in will build for themselves. They
will be prejudiced against anything that
savors of dictation by fading terrific
rial body. The safest wager then
would be that no prohibitory law will
be passed this winter.

wants him as soon as his engagement

he was in the penitentiary at this place

The theory has been advanced that
persons coming from the conservative
atmospheric conditions of the East to
the buoyant ozone of Dakota are apt to
have their eombatiye bumps stimulated.
Some find illustration of this i'll the
present executive, but that is the effect
of prejudice, no doubt. Still. in view
of the unequal division of politics
among the official people ut Bismarck,
and the diSsoIying tenure of executive
life, it might be presumed that only
bland Suayity and obese groWths OF
taffy would be dispensed to the legisla-

ness would have persuaded the men
who make the rules aud provide the
ways and means for the executive board
that there were no policies flying about
there not of their paternity, and nocup-
boards in the gubernatorial party not
open to them. and this would have en-
gendered mutually of effort that
might have made the Bismarck winter
Il Renaissance of communion that
would glow like ruddy wine. Still,
without weighing causes, there is no
special reason for deprecating a little
friction between the governor and the
legislature. No public interest will suf-
fer materially. If the governor can
rally all of his political party i'll the

element is too strong to be Distracted.

DEADwooD. Oak, Feb. 1.-The toll
roads have been an eyeSOre to the citl-
Zens of this county for long time. 1t
is common subject of remark on the
part of our enemies that DeadWOOd
taxes people coming here and going
away from here. There are toll gates at
both the principal entrances to the city,
while the number scattered along the
public highways is legion. These
roa IS are owned by companies who
have made fortunes out of them, bu t
the public have at length grown tired
of paying the eXorbitant prices of
the early days of the Black Hills for
the privilege of travelling on them, and
now demand new deal. The commits
sioners of Lawrence county, at their re-
cent session. cited the directors of the
various toll roads throughout the
county to appear before them and show
cause why new schedule of reduced
rates should not be adopted. The ques-
ton was opened before the county COM
missiOners, this week and the new
schedu G, which reduces the rates al
most One-half, was finally adopted. 1t
is believed that one or two of the toll
roads will appeal from this decision of
the county commissioners. A good

question. That the roads have been

whereas at present our excellent roads
are the subject OF remark by every one

than any other road in the Black Hills,
perhaps. and winter and summer alike
it is kept in perfect condition; and this
notwithstanding the fact that the
greater portion of it lies through the

The Dpadwood Central railroad is

A FOOLISH KICK.

In the opinion of Dakota papers some
of the foreign insurance companies and
their attorneys display remarkable
cheek in their circular, intimating that
the newspaper people have got into the
trust business in the statutes they have
secured in regard to legal printing.
The rates are not higher than in most
Of the Western states, and the trouble
is that the old system of dividing the
fees is interfered with 1t was a soft
thing for the attorneys when they could
induce rival papers to cut each others
Threats by taking legal notices at half
or one-third the legal rates, and allow
ing the attorneys to take all the fat,
charging their clients full rates. The
insurance rates are high, and the bust
ness profitable in Dakota. They should
not grumble at the small exaction
made of them TO keep matters moving
in the territory. They should make
friends with the local papers. The re-
Quirement to publish their statements
i'll each of the eight judicial districts
is not an orerous one. 1t would be bet
ter to re Quire such publication in every
county in which they do business,
rather than TO change in the other di-
Tection.

A WAR OF THE ROSES
In Which Literary Institution

In Which n Literary Institution Is
Involved, and the End Is Not
Yet.
Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS. Feb. There is in
ternecine war at the Baptist university
and has been for several days, but until
to-day the faculty were able to keep
the fact from becoming public. Some
days ago the students association held
meeting for the purpose of filling a
vacancy i'll the managing editOrship of
the college paper. One of the chief
candidates for the. position was Burt
Rayson, one of the oldest students, who
won the first prize in the oratorical con-
test this year. Roys0n's election was
contested by faction in the school. and
a political fight arose compared to
which the recent senatorial combat
in Minnesota was mere paStime.
The meeting for election was held
Monday night, and RoySon secured the
coveted position by the very interesting
vote of 80 to 30. The defeated faction
were then reused to white heat, and be-
gan to banter charges of bribery back
and forth, claiming that Royson had
paid some six or eight members in cool
legal tender for their votes. The next
day Royson met George Bliss. the leader
of the anti-Royson faction, in the sane
titled recesses of the college hall, and
tointingly asked if he didn't feel pretty
sore at being beaten at his own game,
whereupon Bliss retorted that victory
won by bribery was nothing to be
proud of. Royson had not been in
politics long enough to learn how
to hold his temper, and answered
the inSinuation by striking Bliss
a number of cruel blows on the head
and face, erecting mansard roof over
his eye, and making other unSightly
depredations on his expression. Roy
son weighs 230 pounds and Bliss 100, SO
that the latter was no match for his as
sailant. Bliss has notified the faculty
that Royson must be expelled from the
school or he will begin criminal prose-
cutions at once. The faculty held
meeting till after midnight, but have as
yet come to no conclusion. The school
is in turmoil over the event, and
regular War of the Roses is liable to re
suit. A big effort was made to hush the
matter up, but it became public to-day.

WHY OLD SLEEPY KICKS.

1t is not easy to believe that Delegate
CLIFFORD is quite honest in the claim
that there is doubt as to how the North
would vote on the division question.
His personal relations with Gen. ALLEN
may quite likely lead him to distrust
any assurances from that gentleman.
but he has no right to pronounce the
people of the North untruthful. He
knows letter. They are as united and
earnestin favor of division as the peo-
pie of the South. There are few in
each section. mostly near the dividing
line, who prefer unity, but everybody
wants statehood, and recognizes the
fact that it can now only be had with
division. There are some defects that
should be remedied in the SPRINGER
bill, but this CLIFFORD preteXt is not
worth serious attention. CLIFFORD is
partisan first and all the time, and he
doesn't want Democrats to have any
share in the credit OF state-making.
That is the explanation Of his opposi-
ton to the omnibus measure. He would
let Dakota stay out of the Union an
other year rather than not have it come
IN exactly in his way.
