nuIInprN Nv nANGER.

There Is now before the Assembly Of this
State o bill which provides that commitments
of children to benevolent and reformatory in
satutions shall be reviewed as TO the facts BY
any court of record on demand within thirty
days. The bill was introduced by MIR. Hamil-
ton. and perhaps his action is a simple formal
tty. which he VIII explain in due time. Even
II Il should appear that he was befnending the
measure, we should not think Of oriticising his
motives, but should merely repent with greater
emphasis the opinion that the bill ought to be
killed, since the support Of such man would
necessarily increase the danger Of It's passage
The law under which neglected and vicious
children are rescued and provided with fair
chance in life is not in need OF amendment.
Under IT'S operation for century an inoal-
culsble amount Of suffering and degradation
has been relieved, and tens Of thousands Of
children who seemed destined to become out
casts and criminals have grown into yirtuous
men and women. Errors Of Judgment there
may have been, since magistrates are not In
fallible, but the cases which could be fairly
regarded as suggestive Of q wilful and per-
verse exercise Of authority have been so few
as 10 furnish no valid argument against the
system.
That provision Of the present law under
which commitments may be annnlled by the
Supreme Court supplies every essential safe
guard. The effect Of the proposed law would
be TO restore many Of the unfortunate wards Of
the State to the unmerciful hands Of brutal
parents and guardians. The bill before the
Assembly provides for rehearing Of facts upon
application within thirty days. Doubtless those
who honestly favor this measure suppose that
this brief time limit will afford ample pro-
lection to she best interests Of the child. They
do not reflect how complete nietamorphosis 0
month Of care and comfort Is capable Of pro-
dueing In hait.stsryed, maltreated boy or
girl. Many Of the children who are sent from
poor but kind homes into the country BY THE

THE LIST WEEKS or TEE SESSION

THE LIST WEEKS or TIE SESSION.
The Legislature nt Albany last week adopted
a resolution to adjonrn sine die Meg l6. 80
only a month and half remains Of this session
less than month and a half, indeed, since
there Is little probability that the weekly recess
from Friday until Monday win be omitted T;
and It is understood that the Legislature viii
adjourn for d week in order to witness and
share In the Washington Centennial exercises.
But although final adjournment is so near at
hand the important measures of the year have
yet to be disposed Of. Neither the Ballot Re-
form bill nor the Excise bill has had Its third
reading. The Prison bill, which seems likely
to command the greatest support, has been
reported, but has been recommitted. The most
important of the annual fiscal measures, tho
Supply bill, has still to be considered.
In word, the unfinished business includes
about all the business in which the general
public feel an interest. 1t is not an encourage
ing situation. If the Legislature expects to
get through creditably by May 10, 1t will have
TO work like q beaver during the coming six
weeks. Let the passes for the floor be revoked,
the lobby be vigorously excluded, the i've
minute rule be enforced. II these things are
done, and II the Republicans in the Senate and
Assembly are united and diligent at all points,
they can clear the calendar Of the measures
which must be attended to If they would escape
theecondemnation Of their constituents by the
middle of next month. Let our friends at
Albany look 10 it. A great responsibility rests

According to the forecast Of our CORE
spondent at Albany, this week win witness the
passage by the Assembly Of the Ballot Reform
bill and the Excise Commissions bill. IL ~
probable that the latter win be taken up on
"Wednesday and the former ON Thursday
solid Democratic array against both measures
is looked for, and from the vote taken last
week ii is thought that four Republican Assem-
blymen win oppose the Excise bill, AS the
Republican strength, after General Batcheliers
retirement Is only seventy-eight this Will
leave only seventy four votes in the affirmative
-,iine more than are required. This Is on
the supposition that all the Republicans are in
their places, as they ought by all means to be
when measure of such Importance Is under
consideration.

the treaty made by the Sioux
commission.
81 should be glad to have it generally
known" he said, "for. it may prevent
many people. undergoing unnecessary
suFicrinss and lardships. The scnti-
ment OF this department is clearly
against the view that amy ono has Il
right to take lands or enter upon the
Sioux reservation before the work OF the
commission is ratified BY congress.
There were two acts passed authorize
ing the appointment OF a commission
lor treaty for the purchase OF Il rcserva-
ton. One OF these provided that the
commission OF Indian affair; should APP
point thc commission, the other pro-
vldcd that the president should make
the appointment. 1t was decided to
act under the last mentioned one and
the president appointed the commits
sion. The MT which 4AthOriZcd llim to
do this specifically stated tlftt the re-
port OF the commission should be sent
to congress and the the treaty should
not be complete until ratified by that
body. It seems to me that the whole
matter is perfectly clear, and | hope
those who contemplate any attempt in
the way Of taking possession Of the lands
or entering the reservation for such Il
purpose will be made aware of these
facts, and understand this department
will not recognize any claims TO or right

Democratic County Platform.

Resolved, That the democratic party Of
Pennington county in convention assembled
reaftirms Its allegiance to its principles to the
national democratic parry as euunciated by
platforms OF the democratic party in the ma
tioMal conventions OF 1876, 1850, 1881 and
1888.
We extend a cordial invitation to all good
people to join with us in securing the correc.
ton OF many abuses in our local affairs, and
IN establishing equality an fair representation
for the masses OF the people irrespective OF their
business of centralized power.
w pledge the representatives Of our party if
elected to legislature to secure the enactment
81 such laws as may be necessary to equa!ixe
the burdens OF taxation and enact laws with
severe penalties for the punishment of persons
who wilfully and corrrlptly refuse to return
property for taxation or who wilfully make
and file false aHidavits with the commissioners
to secure a reduction Of taxes and also to Sc
cure the enactment OF such provisions as may

to investigate all questions pertaining 20 the
taxation OF property both real and personal

resident OF their own county, a young man with
clean record who had an honorable ambition
TO represent his state in the halls OF congress.
We deplore the apparent increase of intern

resentatives, if elected to the legislature, to Sc
cuto 1Ino ouaCtMenG OF Sucn laws as NAV be
necessary to carry into effect the provisions
q our organic law as expressed by the voice of
the majority OF our people at the polls.
We believe IN a reform OF our present ballot
system and pledge the representative of our mar
~. II elected, to secure the enactment of the
Australian system OF b~alloting at elections,
with all the safeguards necessary to secure its
enforcement. And we deplore the fact the bill
providing for such reform after passing both
branches OF the legislature at it's last session
was stolen before it reached the executive. and
thereby the people were deprived of the benefit
intended to be secured.
: Resolved, That we earnestly invite all lovers
OF good government, of whatever party, ali
who are opposed to the dectation of bosses or
the undue influence in politics or corporate
wealth and power, to join with us in an honest
effort to secure to Pennington county such IL
representation in the various offices as shall
properly represent the wish and will of the
people.
Resolved, That we congratulate the people Of

when they placed their men in nomina-
ton, thereby binding them to those doc
trines. The two contain the principles
found in the Alliance platform and are
III line.
When the republican bosses OF Pen
nington county met in convention it
was to enact q farce They had met III
secret long before and formulated their
plans; they had in their power and en-
ploy the tools to carry those plans into
effect. The little band OF farmers who
had been invited i'll TO partake OF the
icast(?lattonptcd TO be heard, but the
effort was i'll VAN. AS well does the
waters OF the sea beat against the base
OF the rocks which coniine it. With Il
p~atronizing smile the bosses did their
work. The principles they emunciatcd
were Moody for the United States sen
;ltc, and between the lines could be read:
Lis henchman for every thing i'll sight
or reach" 1t WIS then that the scales
leli from the eyes OF many men who had
heretofore been blind followers OF the
bosses because Of the political labels
they wear. They realized that when
the wishes OF the people and the needs
OF the bosses conflict that the people
so to the wall; that might makes right,
and success is honesty, in the boss die
tionaly.
Heretofore the masses have stood idly
by and allowed the few to do all the
fighting and carry OF the spoils, here
after they propose, that here in the
Hills, at least, they will takca hand in
the fight. 'Eley have concluded that il
the ring can afford 10 own newspapers
to advocate this cause, and can put up
a thousand dollars to control Il pri-
mary, there must be something worth
contcnding for. Therefore tllcy have
purchased apapcr FOR themselves and
propose TO support it, and have it sup

deem the proper mes. The democrats

the republican nominee FOR circuit judge
in this district stated recently that lie
could take five hundred dollars, go

heard him say so, but such is The com-
mon report and farmers and all others
who desire purity in our judicial depart
mcnt should make note OF it. \ man
who talks openly Of buying his way TO
a seat on the judges bench should be sat
down on as solidly as possible.
