THE CALHOUN COUNTY VOTE.

vi NONtulU6T IL, 1000, SHOWS JDaL
j. NJ. Jackson received 919 votes,
G. B. Smith received $40 votes, Geo.
w. Hays II votes, and w. NJ.
Weekley votes. The County
Court of said county, on January
9TH, 1889, entered so-called order
changing the vote of said Smith to
632 votes. When the Commissions
ers after ascertaining the re-
suit of the election in November as
aforesaid, adjourned, their powers
ceased, they were fUnrtuS o6fcto, and
said order of January 9TH was a
mere nulity.
The Commissioners for Richie
county sent two certificates. One,
dated November ID, 1888, shows
that G. B. Smith received 1872
votes; j. NJ. jackson, 1,405 votes;
q. w. Hays, IL votes, and w. NJ.
Weekley, 81 votes. This certificate
is signed by all three of the Com
missioners. The other certificate
is dated November IA, 1888. 1t
gives c. b. Smith 1913 votes;
J. NJ. Jackson, 1,4O3 votes; o. w.
Smith, 1 vote; Judge Jackson,
vote, and w. VI. Weekley, nothing.
This certificate is signed by only
two of the Commissioners. The
vote will be counted as set forth in
the certificate of Novemb Der ID.
THE PLEAsANTs COUNTY CERTIFICATE.
The Commissioners of Pleasant
county certify as to j. NJ. Jackson s
vote as follows: Games NJ. jackson
received eight hundred and two
votes"
The words and letters are too
plain for any mistake.
For the reason heretofore given
there is no authority to go behind
this certificate. The votes certified
must be counted. if enough appear
to ascertain the meaning.
In any action upon note
it was held, 'eThere is no error in
admitting the note sued on, in evil
dence, because the amount thereof
is written four hundred and two
and 50-100 dollars. Glenn VS..
Portor, Y Ind, P. 525. SO it has
been held that 'sTbe abbreviation in
declaration, Damages one thous.
dollars is not error" W., L. ].
(Mich.) 1896.
If enough appear to make the re-
turns ineligible it should be made
so. This cannot be done without
striking out one letter and inserting
another, or by supplying the SEEM
ingly omitted letters. Acting upon
the face of the paper, the latter ap-
pears more in consonance with ad-
judged cases. The last number
would give to said Jackson, eight
numbered and twelve votes. 1t will
be SO entered.

II DON'T Prohibit.

The following, taken from an Ohio
exchange, is Of special interest to South
Dakota readers at this time when the
question of prohibition has become an
issue. II prohibition results only in
prohibiting temperance in the oldest
prohibition state in the Union, il
would appear to be doubtful temperance
policy to adopt it i'll South Dakota,
where it should be the object of the
people to encourage, rather than retdrd
the progress Of the cause:
The two cities most distinguished for
intemperance in this country are Port
land and Bangor, in the prohibition
State of Maine. There is even a con-
tention as to the distinction of being
"thc drunkenness city on the American
continent" The streets of both cities
swarmed with drunken men on the
Fourth of July, and in Dangorth police
stations were so crowded with DRINKS
that further arrests had TO be abandon.

The Reservation,

Referring TO the opening ofthe Sioux
reservation, Bill Springer says:
The only thing necessary now is for
the president 10 issue a proclamation
declaring the land designated i'm the bill
to be thrown open for settlement.
There is little doubt but what a large
majority of Dakotans would be greatly
pleased to know that Mr.. Springer was
speaking from the card, and that he was
correct in his statement as to the "only
thing necessary now" in the premises,
but there are grave reasons to doubt
such 4 declaration, even from so high a
source rs this. While it is yet to a GER
tain extent a mootcd question as to
commission will haye to be submitted
to congress for ratification, it would
seem safe to conclude, in the light Of the
most reliable Information obtainable.
that such is the case. This will delay
the opening for several months, and
possibly be the means of preventing
much suffering upon the part Of settlers

Preventing q Rush,

General T. II. Ruger, of st. Paul, who
arrived IN the train Tuesday night it is
said, was sent ont here with instruc-
lions TO hold the troops at Fort Sully in
readiness to put Il stop to any contem-
plated rush of intending settlers on the
Sioux reservation. The government
has somehow got an idea that there will
be a repetition of the scenes in Okla
homa on the borders Of the great Sioux,
and for this reason will take time by
the forelock and be on hand prepared
to MP in the bud any undue effort to
settle the reserve before the president
gives permission. From present APP
]pearances Uncle sam need have no fear
that his orders will not be obeyed by
the people who are waiting for "a home

A Waterbury, South Dakota CORE
spOndent to the st. Paul Globe describes
the kind Of failure South Dakota is
experiencing with this years crops in
the following: "The recent heavy rains
have put the corn out of the way of
drouth, and now, unless we should have
extremely early frosts, the corn belt
will show up a good fifty bushels per
acre. This, added to the wheat yield of
from ten to twenty bushels, ten bushels
of flax, a large yield-two tons, at least
of millet, and the fnest-not largest
crop of wild hay ever raised, lots of
hogs and steers, and the ordinary
farmer will manage to do very well.
This is the kind Of a total failure that
South Dakota this year shows up. Isn't
it time that such reports of total failure
were suppressed? 1t would be vastly
better for the country if the class OF
croakers who have cried a total fail
IRE" all the season could be banished,
or if a lax could be raised TO send them
TO the poor house at their last known
residence. There would be no com
plant made by the ordinary taxpayer,
Two or three men at the Huron conven-
ton in June did more to injure the
reputation of South Dakota than a two
years crop can overcome. Another great
bug-bear is the irrigation subject. Scare
everybody to death keep them out; if
any one has an idea of locating, tell
them that as a farming country South
Dakota is a failure, and Kansas and Me-
braska will take them in. A heavier
amount of rainfall would be of vast adj
vantage to us, but we get enough now
80 that our crops always beat all other
new countries. South Dakota, as a
whole, has a very fair crop, including
the corn and millet, it is far above that
Of any state we know Of"
