DAKOTA POLITICS.

An incident in the political affairs OF
South Dakota, which will attract more
than a passing interest, Is the defeat OF
Judge Campbell in the Yanlton dis
trict convention, for delegate to the
constitutional convention. On its face
this result appears to possess consider
able significance. Judge Campbell has
been one of the most prominent advo-
Gates of division and admission, and is
recognized as the father of the Sioux
Falls constitution. The friends OF that
instrument, and especially the pr ohi-
bitionlsts, made a vigorous effort to Sc
cure delegates to the district conven-
tion who would elect to the constitu-
tional convention an undoubted sup
porter of the SieiX Falls constitution in
its entirety. The defeat of Judge
Campbell by Mr.. e. G. Edgerton-son
of Judge Edgerton, a prominent state
hood advocate, who has been entirely
ignored by Campbell and his followers
consequently suggests two possibili-
/ ties, namely, that a new. constitute on
will be framed, or that the prohibition
clause will be eliminated from the
Sioux Falls instrument.
Our advices from Yankton state that
the defeat of Judge Campbell was due
to bad faith 1t appears that he did
| nothing personally to secure the nomi-
nation, placing himself entirely in the
hands of his friends, who, it would
seem, permitted themselves to be out
generated by the supporters of the sue
cessful candidate. But whatever may
be the true explanation of the result, it
| is of some significance in its bearing
upon the fate of the Sioux Falls consti-
tuition, or at least OF the prohibition
clause of that instrument, which is the
| feature that has received the largest
share of popular attention, and is likely
to be most vigorously discussed in the
constitutional convention.

A LARGE number of prospective set
tiers are quietly massing on the upper
Missouri in anticipation of the early
opening of the Sioux reservation. The
people who have so far arrived are de-
scribed as being thrifty and hard work
ing farmers from Iowa and eastern
states, intending to locate themselves
on reservation lands. They are just
the kind of settlers the new country de-
mands. There can be but little doubt
that the reservation will speedily be
filed up by a farming population in
strong contrast to the spectators and
adventurers who have overrun Okla

ACCORDING to Chief Justice Fuller,
the supreme court has gained consid-
prable time on its docket during its
recent term. Nevertheless the supreme
court is a long way behind in its busi-
ness, aud this gain is merely tempo
rary. II is hard TO see how tho court
ean possibly catch up, when SO many
cases on tho docket have been pending
for number of years and have not yet
received fna! hearing. The injustice
OF such delays, and the detriment they
involve to itigants, have often been
commented upon. Chief Justice Fuller
sees no other way 70 reform this un-
satisfactory state Of affairs than through
the establishment OF an intermediate
court. II seems, therefore, but a ques-
tion Of time when congress will find il
necessary to make provisions OF such a
nature.

Railroads, like other great monopoles,
have wheels within wheels, and whenever
possible they work them for all they are
worth For example, live stock shippers
depending upon Omaha as the market upon
which TO turn their purchases, have been
compelled to get down into their pockets to
three different railroad companies before
they could put their shipments on the market
The scheme was worked in this way. Stock
was delivered to the "Belt Line' by the diff
ferent roads, which was transferred to the
approach 20 the yards" at 81 per car. The
shipments were then taken by the "Stock
Yard company" and transferred to the yards
proper at 81 per car extra. This bill OF fare
was served with such regularity that it
ceased to be a toothsome dish, and there was
an indiscriminate kick, which, happily, has
resulted in the establishment of what has been
denomlnated switching charges" This has
been considered in the Manning. g.Suthcrland
investigation at Tekamah, and is also alleged
in the complaint of William Bays, which
comes up for hearing here on June 4. AS
above Indicated the information is reliably
given out that the roads have agreed to cut
off switching charges and deliver shipments
direct to tho yards at one price, and without
percentages to the Belt or other lines, nor to
the Stock Yards company. If this be true,
there is already a reduction in the freight
rates on live stock shipments that can not
help but prove of benefit to the farmers and
shippers of the state.

of the king was Installed as regent of the ma
tion's Luxemburg provinces, and several
first class diplomatic conspiraces for the par

cumstances, it must be regarded as an act of
very bad taste on the part of the king 10 re-

Two Freight Houses Burned.

BosToN, April 9.-The two freight
houses of the Boston and Lowell division
of the Boston and Maine railroad were
burned this evening. The buildings were
filed with an almost indescribable va
riety of general merchandise, including
a large quantity of oil, vitriol, etc., and
the frequent explosions served alike to
intimidate the fremen and cause the
rapid spread of the flames. Standing on
the tracks within the structure were
about forty freight cars, many Of
them loaded, and all we're destroyed
before they could be moved to place of
safety. A portion of the large building
was used as grain elevator and in it
were stored from 80 900 to 100000 bushels
of grain and large quantity of -four.
The fire is still burning, though under
control, and it will probably be many
hours before the firemen's work is com
plstsd. 1t is impossible to correctly TO
estimate the loss or the insurance. but
the officials affirm that the loss will ag-
gregete 100000, upon which there is
considerable insurance.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
PARIS, April 9.-The Chamber of Dep
uties to-day discussed the bill prescrib
ing the mode OF procedure to be followed
by the Senate when sitting as court fol
the trial of Boulanger. De la Fosse de
nounced the measure as mockery o
justice and an insult to public conscience
He declared the Senate, being political
body, could not act impartially in the
case.
This assertion caused great uproar
The members exchanged abusive epi'
thets and the scene was one of wild
disorder.
When De la Fosse was again allowed
to continue, he said that law and de-
cency required that Boulanger be tried
at the assizes; otherwise the trial would
be an outrage on justice and disgrace
to the Senate. These remarks caused C
renewal of the uproar. Members of the
left made no attempt to reply to De la
Fosse, but Immediately moved to apply
the closure rule. The motion carried
253 to 242. Motion was then made to
begin discussion of the bill by clauses.
Carried. 321 to 222.
The Chamber rejected all amendments
suggested by members of the Right. The
proposal by Ribot that majority of
seven-twelfths of the Senate be necessary
to make valid any sentence pronounced
upon General Boulanger, was also de-
feated. The bill was adopted by vote
of 31S to 205.
BRUSSELS, April 9.-The Belgian Gov
ernment has informally warned Bou-
LANCER to abstain from political agitation.
The General has been informed that if
