Judge Garland, of the Sioux Falls
district. has rendered his resignation
to take effect April ist.
Ought to Become a Law.

Fargo Republican: The bill provld-
ing for the Australian system of vot-
ing passed the council Yesterday, by a
vote of 16 to S, and now goes to the
house. 1t ought to become a law, with
out the least hesitation. There is eve
ry argument in favor of it, and none
against. 1t removes coercion, intimid-
alton and bulldozing of all kinds and
leaves every man to vote as he wish
es. 1t provides plain, simple, de-
finite method of nominating candid
ates and then leaves the people free to
vote for them without fear or favor.
That there is a crying necessity for
something of this sort, none will deny.
Give the people of the new Dokotas a
free ballot and fair count and good
results will follow.

Have Declared in Its Favor.

Public Opinion: Since ithas become
apparent that the democratic scheme
for minority representation will pre-
vail i'll selecting constitutional con-
vsntlon, many persons and papers
heretofore uniavnrable to the Sioux
Falls constitution iiave declared in its
favor, fearing that worse rather than
a better constitution will be formulat-
ed by convention containing so large
democratic element. This is notably
the case with the Aberdeen News,
which now for this reason alone advo-
Gates the ratification Of the Sioux Falls
instrument.

Reporter: A subscriber out west is
desirous of seeing in print upon the
pages of The Reporter at least one par
agraph in praise of the management of
the General Land Office, even should it
be no more than laudation of the
charwomen. The Reporter sincerely
regets that it cannot find it in it's power
to comply with the desire of our West
ern admirer, who will remember that
the Reporter was no more ditfuse in
the distribution of tatfy under repub-
lican than it has been under demo-
cratic administration. 1t hopes, how
eyer, that under the incoming regime
there will be something that the Re-
porter can consi ,tently applaud.

Black Hills Coal.

Rapid City Journal, "a: At a public
gathering held in Rapid City a few
evenings since, a gentleman whose
chief business in this part of the
country has been to file on coal
lands for the Burlington company
made substantially the following asser-
ton. 81 know positively that there
has been discovered within short dis
tance of Rapid City good vein of coal
of a quality better than any heretofore
discovered west of the state of Penn
sylvania." This assertion was listened
to by large number Of Rapid City
people, and vet, strange as it may ap-
pear, has not formed theme of gener-
al conversation, nor has it attracted
the attention or interest which it de-
serves. 1t must appear at glance to
all who are interested in Rapid City's
welfare, that it there exists good foun-
dation for an assertion of this kind
an assertion so positive in its charac-
ter as to call to its substantiation
whatever of responsibility may attach
to the gentleman making tit is q
matter of exceeding great Importance.
When it is remembered, too, that in
treating briefly of the resources of the
country about the eastern foothills the
gentleman went on to say that they
were such as to guarantee the exten
sion of the Burlington line on this side
of the Hills, it requires no great stretch
of the heimagination to assume that there
was in the mind of the speaker a close
connection between the two subject:
and the two assertions. That there il
good foundation for saying that Goa

A full report of the inaugural cere-
monies will be given in tomorrow's
REPUBLICAN. The speech of Presi-
dent Harrison is pronounced as most
magnificent effort, fnlly III keeping with
the rest of the speeches of the presi-
dent since he has come SO prominently
before the public. 1t demonstrates
the fact that President Harrison is
destined to become famous not only
for his power to keep still, but for his
ability to make an able and eloquent
speech whenever the occasion requires
it,

South Dakota will have 1,172,880
acres of school lands. which at $40, the
minimum price for which these lands
may be sold, will make the nice little
sum of $11, ,728,8OO. Five per cent in
terest upon this sum would yield an
annual revenue of $586,440. But quite
q large amount of these lands will
bring $50 to $50 an acre and in some
cases even more.

A Family of Cranks.

There resides in Urbana, O., q veri-
table family of cranlls. Their name
is Glenn, and two sisters and bro
ther are now living. Years ago the
father bought coats for the boys, but
neglected one of his sons, John, Jr.,
whereupon the boy said he would
never wear coat as long as his father
lived. He went upstairs to his room,
where he remained until fourteen
year after, when the father died. The
house was afterward painted all over
with the most grotesque and curious
designs. While John, the peculiar,
and brother We're disputing about
these designs, the brother said, John,
l wish yon would go upstairs and
stay there" John did SO, remaining
as before for four years, coming down
to attend the brothers funeral. John,
the recluse, is bleached as white as a
woman because Of his long confine-
ment He is 65 years old. A sister
has charge of the finances, but the
sisters and brother live secluded life,-

Simplicity of the English LANGUAGE.

The great advantage claimed by DIR.
A. Melville Bell for English as the uni
versal language is the simplicity of its
grammar, which makes English immeas-
urably superior to every form of artificial
language as well as to other national
tongues. The various moods and lenses,
declensions and conjugations which bur-
den other grammars have practically no
existence for us. DR.. Bell advocates fur
ther simplifcation, however, by remov-
ing grammatical irregularities-using
"chiads" instead of "childre1," "gooder"
instead of 'better," etc.-adopting a
more orderly spelling, and improving
the alphabet SO as to give a letter for
each sound.-New York Telecram.

To the Taxpayers Of Los angeles City:
Do you propose to place mortgage on
all your lands that will compel you to
pay an additional tax of 25 per cent. per
aDnum over what YOU pay now for the
next twenty-five years, and get but little
benefit by it? This is exactly what you
will do if you vote for the proposed
sewer bonds. That this increased tax
would be cheerfully paid if We got there
by good sewer system, all are ready to
admit, but to vote for 81 ,2S0,O bonds
for sewers, and have more than one.
third of that money spent for storm.
water sewers that are of no benefit in the
scale OF sanitary improvements and only
local benefit in getting rid OF the storm
water, and leave nearly the whole city
without sewage, unless they levy an.
other tax on themselves to build them at
their own local expense, which they
could do now just as well-this is more,
| think, than the taxpayers will stand.
There is sewer map that is being shown
to the people that has all the con.
templated sewer system marked out, but
everything on that map inside the city
limits, except the southern and central
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-12

intercepting sewers as they are called
both close to the southern boundary, the
one on the west side, mostly outside the
city and of little or no benefit to the city,
and the storm-water sewer named in q
previous article-everything else on the
marked map must be paid for by the
owners of the locality neglected in the
appropriation as anyone may see if they
will read the ordinance that all the
$l,2S0,000 is appropriated to build the
outfall, the two south and interceptine
sewers, the one on the West Side and
mostly outside of the city, and the
storm-water sewers. Why does the
Council want to tack that $50S 600 on to
the sewer bonds? There is Just about az
much sense and justice in this as tacking
on six parallel streets to Temple street to
pay for cutting down Temple-street hill
to benefit few individuals property at
the expense of the property on these
parallel streets, from five or six blocks to
three miles away from the grade pro
posed by this wonderful far-seene
Council. Why don't they tax Pasadena
and other outside towns, as they will Ger.
tainly be benefited as much in the
sewer improvement and cutting down
Temple-street hill as the people on these
streets five or six blocks away. Don't
the Council see that the new city charter
gives them the right to name the district
to be assessed for all such improvement,
Then why not go to these outside towns
and make it easy for US.
