recently decided by the Hon. George
Chandler, first assistant secretary Of
the interior, furnishes another example
of the many favorable decisions eme-
mating from the present administra-
tion. A portion of the decision is as
follows
In recent decisions of the depart
ment it has been held that where q
claimant temporarily leaves his land
for the purpose Of earning an honest
livelihood, coupled with a bona fed
intention Of complying with the law,
such absence is accounted construct
i've residence and compliance with le-
gal requirements. In harmony with
the foregoing decisions. in view of
claimants apparent good faith, of her
poverty, and the expenses of making
new proof am of the opinion that
the proof she has already made should
be accepted, and that patent should
duly issue thereon.

Prohibition in Iowa, from Whlslzey
Standpoint.

Out of 1900 editors in Iowa, forty-six
express an opinion on prohi bition, with
only twenty-six against it as given by
the Farm Herald. 1'he following is
compiled from letters showing the
operation of prohibition in Iowa, writ
ten to the Boston Globe, in reply to
letters of inquiry OF forty.
six editors, twenty-six say that
prohibition in Iowa is more or less a
farce, while tha others admit that it
is not what it should be- Summing
up the majority opinion. it is as fol
lows:
Prohibition has increased drunken.
ness. (Has it increased the number ct
drinkers?)
Prohibition is not effectually en-.
forced. (Neither is the law against
murder)
Prohibition has depleted the city
and town treasures and raised the rate
OF taxation. ct has not "depleted
the homes. nor raised" the mothers
anguish. 1t puts no blood money into
the treasures, nor has it the curses of
Wretched manhood or ruined souls to
collect)
Prohibition has had a depressing
effect on business and has driven much
capital out of the state. CThat invest
ell IN Salpnnc .,y,J
y letter from Mrs. Hall appeared in
last weeks Appeal in which she re-
counts some OF The dangers and diff

to think such a message should come
from r.. s. Vessey who was ever rec

combine, his store being the head
quarters.
We wish to call the attention of
our readers to the True Republican, of
July 26th: '''
Jhe prospect of Jerauld and Buffalo
counties being placed in a legislative
district by themselves are not as favor
able as they were a week age, etc.
We refer to the above for the follow
ing reason. 1t will be the policy Of
the True Republican to hoodwink the
friends of Prof. Huntley and make
them believe they were friendly to him
throughout. But they have dug the
pit into which they must tall. In the
same issue Of the Republican IN which
Mr.. Blosser states the prospect of our
having q Legislative district that would
enuitle Jerauld county to senator
ship ard representative are small,
(meaning Of course that we then could
only have legislative candidate to
hope for.) he bringing forward the
name of Robert S. Vessey as the re-
publican candidate for the legislature,
thus practically ignoring the almost
universally expressed wish of Jerauld
county, that Brof. Huntley should rep
resent lis IN the first legislature OF
South Dakota. MIR. Blosser cannot
disguise the fact that he has antago-
niZed Prof. Huntley throughout. It's
presumed he has no further use for the
kind of timber of which Prof. Huntley
is composed. Those present at the con-
vention held last spring to organize
for the support of the Sioux Falls con-
stitution can recall the circumstance,
that certain parties were very anxious
to present Prof. nuntley's name be-
ing prominent at that time. A little
further on came the convention to
elect delegates to name the man to go
to Sioux Falls. That convention show
ed plainly how the majority of the peo-
pie of the county feel towards PROT.
Huntley. There is nothing like hav-
ing paper. as wellas person, put
ting themselves on record. Let the
people of Jerauld county bear this in
mind when they hold their delegate
election on Aug. 10th. Give us Prof.
Huntley in the senate and an able man
in the house, and Jerauld county's in
f1uence will be felt throughout South
Dakota.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN.
TON ITEMS. -

The constitutional convention has
decided several very important qnes-
items in the last few days. We are
districted with Miner, Hanson, Davi-
son, Sanborn, Aurora. Brule, Buffalo
Lyman, Pratt, and Presho, for judicial
purposes. These counties will elect a
and circuit Judge. The con.
vention has placed Jerauld ard Buffalo
in a senatorial district, number 10
Jerauld county is the Goth. and Buffalo
county the 21st legislative districts.
The Australian ballot system was
defeated, in the constitutional conyen.
ton last week.
The convention decided that it had
no right to provide for the election
of clerk of courts. hence the county
commissioners will appoint a clerk
after the machinery of the new State
is set in motion.
The new Minnesota law requires
criminals to be executed before day.
break and Albert Bulow, at Little
Falls, MINI. was tina first to "shuffle
off this mortal coil' at an carly hour
under the new law.
The commission from the constitu-
tional convention to confer with the
North Dakota delegates upon the di-
vision of property are having labor.
lous task, and progressing very slowly.
LATER-The work is completed
and South Dakota pays North Dakota
$42,5O0 and each state pays for the
public institutions therein located.
The Sioux Falls Argus Leader. in
speaking of the different members of
the constitutional convention saws:
There is s. A: Ramsey, of Woonsock-
ct. always joval and chuck full Of fun
upto the brim-is a regular Mark Tap
ley. He is one Of the successful and
leading young lawyers Of the state.
