As nation the people have recognized
the republican party aud adopted it as the
one to manage their affairs politically for
thirty years, with brief inter-regnum of
democracy of four years. The national
party of to-day has many strong and faith
tul adherehts in Hand county, and in
point of numbers they exceed all others
combined, We trast that the party will
be true to its principles of progress and
reform right at home and as the time is
near at hand for political action 1t will be
governed by the sole ambition OF working
for the good of the people and the party.
Petty jealousIes and factional differ
ences exist in the party in Hand county
occasionally as slsW here, and these
should be harmonized as far as possible
The wrongs and grievances one faction or
clique has done another, as a rule is large
ly imaginary, or at best greatly exaggerated
and to disinterested people appear su-
premeIy rediculous. 1t were far better
now that such factions should concede
their mutual foolishness and proceed on
common grounds to make the party
strong and incoruptible. The defeat of
any one faction is small satisfaction il
thereby the party is defeated

ing complex or ambiguous about 1t. Its
meaning would never be questioned ex-
cept for the fact that the portion OF the
territorial debt which South Dakota
should inherit is Sl50,OOO greater than the
maximum debt authorized by the consti-
tuition. The members of the constitu-
tionai convention have simply delegated
power from the people TO perform certain
specified acts, and further than this they
are prevented from going by the combin-
ed authority of an act of congress and the
vote of the people. Before the conven-
ton assembled, and when the delegated
power Of the convention might have been
enlarged to legally meet just such emer-
gencies, a few thinking individuals at
tempted TO point out these difficulties,
and they were calleu down in scornful
derision. The popular cry was that the
constitution as framed should be kept in
violate. The verdict of the people was
rendered in accord snce with this cry, and
now we must take tho consequences. We
only insist that the condition lie sQuarely
confronted"

THE CROPS AND PEOPLE.

The recent rains have greatly revived
the crops-also the spirits of the people,
1t is almost certain now the harvest will
be better than the most nervy inhabitant
predicted week ago. Early wheat in
most localities will be light crop, but
there viii still be thousands Of bushels Of
bread stuff raised in Hand county. Corn
and potatoes, hogs and cattle will carry us
through to prosperity yet, just as certain
as they have in other localities. Haven't
got any? Well, that's where you're off.
The nucleus is already formed TO make
this stock country. In fact il would
surprise you TO drive over Hand county
and see the stock now in the possession
Of farmers, and you may also have an
idea OF. the possible increase the next two
years.
In view Of the above 1t will be well for
some of our people who are talking of
leaving Dakota, to study the matter care
fully and reasonably. Make no basty
movement. 1t will take you at least two
years to get started elsewhere, even IL you
know Of any better place to go to. The
remark you have no doubt heard mo
place could be worse" is not calm con-
sideraton Of the question, and TO accept
such conclusion, just because the present
outlook is not as pleasant as you would
like, Is an injustice to your own good
sense and judgment. Distance lends en-
chantment. and ten chance ts one the
place you are thinking about will not bear
close inspection as well as Dakota.
tits conceded by the wise, ignorant and
Indifferent that the person who ''holds on
will come out all right. The history of
the entire west establishes this precedent.
But to successfully choke down tho con
suming desire which takes possession OF
western people TO move every SO often
requires nerve and determination. How
are you fixed ?

LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

Now there will certainly be a chance
for some Of our leading statesmen and
politicians TO harmonize their differences.
The constitutional convention it is said,
will apportion the legislative districts of
South Dakota to each 1900 votes, to which
will be allowed one state senator and three
representatives. This of course let's
Hand in as full district, with four legis-
lator. It would seem now an easy matter
TO determine upon so many, but the first
county convention will probably convince
several that there should have been eight.
We Ike the idea Of Hand county being a
district 10y itself, because it alone will be
responsible for the representative, but the
idea of law makers from Hand county
or any other 1900 votes-seems too absurd
to be seriously considered, Eighteen
hundred votes would be about right for
one representative, and one-third Of n
senatorial district.
The following clipping from the Sioux
Falls Press will probably accord with the
first thought Of most readers
"Since none of US are political aspirants, A."
said Delegate Clough, yesterday, "0ur
proposition to increase the number OF
members of the legislature should be re-
garded as stroke of philanthropy" As
a humorist the elder is not roost for flies.
