Merchants in some South Dakota To-

the fact that canvassers for outside
dealers are taking orders for groceries
and provisions from farmers to the
detriment of the local trade, which has
had to carry these same buyers from

Arkansas has proiibitory law which

to prove that the question, after all, is

JUDGE EDGERTON's STATEMENT.
Judge Edgerton. who returned from
Sioux Falls morning, gives these
additional particulars:
He had gone from the Omaha train
to the Cataract house with other pas
sengers, Mr. Kratz, M. B. Scott, Prof.
Wakefield, formerly of this city, and
others being strung along behind him
on the street leading across the bridge
uptown. The Judge had seated him
self at the hotel supper table. when
Prof. Wakefield rushed in and told him
that Mr.sNratz was badly hurt and had
been taken to the Phillips house.
Judge Edgerton and DR.. Spooner of
Kingsbury county, who was also at
supper. went at once to the Phillips
house and found the injured man un-
conscious and covered with dirt and
blood. Judge Edgerton at once called
in DR.. lie Blond. skilled surgeon of
the city and g personal acquaintance,
and he, with DR.. Spooner examined the
external injuries, which consisted of a
fracture of the nose between the eyes
and a deep cash over one eye.
The Judges theory of the accident,
to which there seems to have been no
eye witnesses. is that in passing the
Phillips house, which is on the corner
OF Bridge street and an alley leading
from the lumber yards, the runaway
team dashed on him 7aWares from
the alley, caught him on the end of the
wagon tongue and dragged him half
across tine street, where Mr.. Scott saw
him drop. The nature of the injuries
to his head indicates that they were
made by the end of the tongue or the
neck yoke. Judge Edgerton notified
Rev. MIR. Hartsough of Sioux Pals of
the accident and he came to the hotel
at once and called again this morning,
doing all in his power tomake the in
jured man comfortable Prof Wake
field. who with Mr.. Scott carried Mr..
Kratz in, was also indetatigable in his
attentions; and Mr.. Scott himself, al
though he did not recognize the vic
tim OF the accident at the time, was
also very kind. The Phillips house
people are doing everything possible
for Mr.. Kratz's comfort, and with his
devoted wife at his side, he is certain
ly in the best of hands.
Judge Edgerton saw him this morn
ing and thought his condition was
more favorable. When the judge
spoke to him he partially opened his
uninjurei eye and groaned, but made
! no other sign of consciousness.
TIE LATEST ADvICES.
The REPUBLICAN has received the
following special which gives the in
iured mans condition at noon and Will
tend to reassure MIR. Kratz's friends
who comprise every man, woman and
child in the community who knows
him:
SIOUX FALLS 22-NooN-NIr.

dltion is slowly Improving. Careful

stowhich is going the rounds of the
paSean press:
threatened Famine in Dakota:
Failure of the harvest in Dakota
is complete. A special telegram re-
ports 10000 persons are in danger of
starvation. The st. Paul Chamber Of
Commerce is organizing for relief. A
committee of examination reports that
the distress is appalling. No food is
TO be obtained at any price. and no
money wherewith to purchase if tnt-e
were any,
The circular makesthis pertinent sug-

ithe present time, and asking their
riends to endeavor to get their letters

newspapers?
! The plain, unvarnished truth about
the situation in Dakota is what
is\ needed to counteract such
damaging statements as that quoted,
and the REPUBLICAN hopes its readers
will respond frankly to the above re-
quest. The work which Mr.. James
S. Foster has begun is in this line and
it will pay every citizen to heartily CO.
operate with his efforts as we'll as adopt

HURT AT SIOUX FALLS.
Mr.. IL. n. Nratz Badly Injured
by A Runaway.

Judge Edgerton and r.. N. Kratz.
Esq, went to Sioux Falls day af-
ternoon, and about s o'clock q night
the following telegram was received
from Judge Edgerton 10y r.. w. Whee.
lock:
r. N. Kratz badly hurt; have his
wife come on first train.
Mrs. Kratz was in attendance on the
carnival at the rink when the fact was
communicated that her husband was
hurt, but left at once for her home to
prepare to take the IL o'clock train for
Sioux Falls Via Canton. She was
greatly shocked, although the news was
put in as favorable a light as possible,
but she summoned allher fortitude for
the hours of dread and suspense that
must intervene before she could reach
her husbands side.
THE PRESS ACCOUNT.
The Sioux Falls Press has the follow
ing account:
NJ. b. Scott of Mitchell was probably
the only man who witnessed the acci-
dent. According to his statement Mr..
Kratz was on his way from the depot
and had reached the crossing OF Bridge
when runaway team belonging to
the Fullerton Lumber company came
tearing along that thoroughfare and
struck the victim when near the center
of the street. Mr.. Scott says he saw
something drop from the horses and
supposed it was a blanket or robe. * 4 i:
He had walked twenty or thirty feet
nearer when it seemed to him that the
heap in thestreet looked as though it
might be man.

FRENCH SHOAKS.

Premier Floquet has succeeded in plotting
his Ministry over one dangerous shoal, but he
is still in the rapids with new perils confronting
him. lie has forced his bill for district cleo
lions through the lower Chamber, but only
with narrow majorities. On a preliminary
question of urgency he had only 0 votes to
spare, although the Teactionary groups COM
prised barely more than one-third OF the
Deputies. This test of strength disclosed sharp
lines Of division on the Republican side with
numerous OBJECTIONS. While the majority ran
up to "a and 46 on the subsequent votes, the
Ministry narrowly escaped defeat, and its au-
thority was seriously impaired The Scrutin
Acknowledgement bill, which will now be sent
to the Senate clears the ground for another
and more dangerous question. This is the
Government scheme Of revision, on which the
Republican groups have now to take action.
Premier Floquet needs TO be one Of the most
skilful navigators ever known in the treach-
erous waters Of French politics in order to
avoid shipwreclS on the rocks now lying d.
rectly in his course.
The original proposals Of Premier Floquet
were in the Jacobin direction, his idea appar-
emily being to combat Boulangism by outbid-
ding it for Radical support His scheme tend
ed TO weaken the Senate to disable the Chief
Executive, and to arm the popular Chamber
with supreme power. He proposed to deprive
the President and the Senate Of the right Of
dissolving the lower Chamber; to leave the
Senate with bare suspensive veto on general
legislation, and the empty privilege of re-
monstrance on budget questions; and to abolish
collective responsibility of Ministers, votes of
censure being directed against each individ-
ually. His scheme contained provisions for
securing Ministers against removal for definite
period, and for enabling Council Of State to
mature and revise legislative projects. These
expedients for averting Ministerial crises were
Of slender Importance in comparison with the
release Of the lower Chamber from dependence
upon the Executive Government and the SEN
ate. NJ Floquet's constitutional system marks
a close approach to the forms of government
favored century ago by extremists like
RobespieTe Under its operation the Cham
Der of Deputies will become omnipotent.
Radicals, whose support Boulanger has been
counting, may be conciliated by proposals. which
are in accord with their election programmes
In the past; but moderate Republicans will be
repealed by scheme for removing checks and
balances in the existing system. With great
force it may be commended that NJ. Floquet is
playing directly into sBoulanger's hand, since
he is aiming to arm the Chamber of Deputies
with supreme power. After the next general

THE MARKET INVESTIGATION.

Mayor Grants Commissioners Of Accounts
though they have been in office scarcely a
month, have already justified their appoint
ment, as we felt sure they would and well know
they could do. This Office ought to be of the
highest advantage to the public and the Mayor
Under a wise and liberal law the Commissioners
have power upon the Mayors direction to in
vestigate any and every municipal department.
They can send for persons and papers, and
were they to do their full duty, corruption in
the city government on large scale, at least
would be impossible. Mayor Grace appointed
to this important Office couple of men Of no
capacity whatever, who never saw any wrong
doing anywhere.
Mayor Grant made haste to turn out these
persons, and now things begin to move in the
Commissioners Office. Rumors have been rife
for several weeks that the stalls in the new
West Washington Market were not being hon
estly let, but that, as matter OF fact they
were being handed over by the Controller to
such applicants as were Endorsed by Mike
Murphy, Dick Cunningham Boss Power and
other County Democracy worthless. In some
cases, it was said, brides had been paid to
sundry two-for-acent politicians, who are
designated in the noble language Of the halls''
as hangers on" and who interceded with the
great statesmen in their clients behalf.
1t is clear that there is much more still TO be
learned about this business than the Commits
siones Of Accounts have yet ascertained, but
they have already proved the existence of a
disgraceful condition Of affairs. They have
disclosed the fact that political influence and
judicious bribe-giving were powerful in Sc
curing these permits, and we believe they will
prove something more and worse 1t is proper
