HOW TO VOTE.

Col. PLUMMER thinks that it will be
necessary to call party conventions to
nominate candidates for the constitu-
tiOnal conventions IN view of the minor
ity feature, and Maj. BARRETT advises
that the Republicans nominate two
members and the Democrats one. They
have, perhaps, given the subject rather
hasty consideration. The minority plan
does not complicate the matter in the
least. 1t involves no occasion for Dar
tiSanship. but in case that is insisted
upon. it gives the smaller party chance
to elect one of the three. A non-partisap
convention eau just as well nominate
three men as two, provided that in
printing the tickets but two names shall
be on one ballot. or printing the three
names and leaving each voter to strike
off one. 1t would be impossible that all
should strike off the same man. If
party is insisted on, the Democrats
should also nominate two men. There
is no object in making half ticket.

Carl Gunderson will run subdivisional
lines in Fall River county. There are
eight townships in each subdivision.
These surveys will be made where nu-
merous 'Squatters" have been on the
land from two to five years, and were
prevented from perfecting their entries
because of the failure of the govern
ment to make the surveys. BY late
instructions from the interior depart
ment, localities in which settlement
has been made shall receive the pref
erence in awarding survey contracts.
This will make glad the hearts of many
settlers, and as the requests for sur
veys are so numerous and urgent, it is
thought other contracts will soon be APP
proved and the work ordered done as
quickly as possible.

the great benefits statehood will bring
is clean court calendar. The courts
are farther behind in Lawrence county
than anywhere else in the territory per-
haps. Some of the cases that have been
tried this term were begun i'm 1882 and
1883, and are cases involving a large
amount OF money, and i'll some instances
the parties to the action have died long
since or moved away, and in others the
attorneys have died. The relief afforded
by statehood will be felt in this respect
more than in any other particular.
Judge Thomas has done good work
this term OF court, and is making giant
strides in the way of clearing the
docket. He has disposed, on an aver
age, OF three or four cases a day since
the beginning of the month. The most
important case that has come I'D this
term was that of Victor Dome VS.. The
Richmond Silver Mining Company. This
was an action in which the plaintiff
claimed an undivided One-seventh in
tereSt in the ground of the Richmond
Mining company, which he transferred
TO the company through its agents, and
was to receive in consideration therefor
one-seventh interest in two-thirds of
the capital stock of the COMPANY.

and some hundred shares. Thirty-fye
hundred shares were received, and the
suit was brought to recover damages
for the balance. The question of the
measure of damages entered largely.
The suit was brought in 1888, and the
stock was selling at that time at from
so cents to $3.50 per share. Plaintiff
estimated damages at 81 per share, with
interest thereon from time of commence
ing action. i he best legal talent at the
Deadwood bar was engaged in the case,

l. lie IdhOtd papers are giving NON.
ORDWAY a magnificent lot of adverts-
ing, on his return to the theater of his
earlier fame and labors. There is one
noticeable fact, however. While the
governor claims to have disposed of all
his interests in the South, and to be a
resident OF the North, the papers in the
South are quite generally unfayoraDle to
him, while it is very rare to find one i'll
the North disposed to disparage him.
The statement is published that the gov
ernor announces an intention to stand
for senator from the new state. This is
an imputation upon his ShrewdnesS and
Sagacity as a politician. 1t must be
conceded that. whateversinuosities may
be found in his career, he has never
lacked in policy or adeptneSs. He doesn't
do his work with 4 brass band in front.
He has never declared his candidacy
for the United States senate. He has no
doubt said it was an honor to which
any citizen might aspire, and be proud
10 secure the place. He will accept the
position with as much enthusiasm as
most people feel in such attainmentS.
and any quiet encouragement he can
give to promote that end will not prob
ably be spared; but he will not issue
proclamations. He doesn't need the sal
airy. The governor is well heeled finan-
cially. The impression more or less
current, that he could afford to put a
good many other political people on the
same basis, or help out all newspaper
cripples, is no doubt delusion. The
historian is getting hold of the idea
that the governor averages up as we'll
as any executive of the territory in the
modern eras, so far as personal and
official integrity is concerned. If he
is elected to that position it will not be
due to the fact that he owns a good deal
of property in Bismarck, is establishing
a stock farm west of the river and pick
ing up property i'll most of the towns of
the North. That would only be
an evidence of business sagacity.
He can hardly get hold of any
thing in any part of the North that will
not grow in value and repay him many
fold. He knows that brilliant era is
to open up with statehood, and prosper
ity will swing its luscious boughs all over
that land. The special need. he well
says, Is to build the state Oh solid foun-
dations. and secure wise aid efficient
government. He makes no secret of
the fact that he is to summer in the
North, to contribute from his experience
and culture to the work of state build
ing. He understands that the peace
and good name of the new state will be
largely in the hands of the governor.
There will be new counties to organize,
and temptations to weak men to share
the ground floor opportunities. He
wants an honest governor, and then, if
the people think he can serve them eff
fectively at Washington, in the senate,
he will again ostracise himself for their
good. He has been paymaster for the
congressman, and knows pretty much
everybody. He will not deny that the
people will consult their interest by

HURON, S. D., April 19.-Hon. j. J.
Hassler, of Washington city, and ex-
Gov. Buckley, of Hartford, Conn, were
here a day or two since. They were
going East. Both gentlemen had been
at Forest City for two or three weeks,
where they have large land interests.
They, with Hon. r. NJ. Springer, of
Forest City, are also heavy stockholders
in the Forest City Land Improvement
company. Besides, Capt. Hassler and
Gov. Buckley, with number of other
Eastern capitalists, are interested in
certain railroad projects.
r. W. Smart. of Portland, who, it is
understood, is one of the leading spir-

Duluth railroad, is also member of the
land improvement company, and is
forming colonies in the East to settle in

proposed railroad in which these gen

JAMESTOWN, n. D., April 19-An in
teresting question has been raised in
this county which threatens to seriously
affect the city finances in relation to
saloon licenses. At the last legislature
couple of short and apparently insig-
nliicant acts managed to slip through,
and it is now claimed that they will
change the whole status of the licensing
question in this and other cities. Here
tofore licenses to sell liquor within the
city have been. granted by the city
under the provisions of chapter 70 of
the laws of 1887, which read as follows:
THAT section of chapter 26 of the
General Laws of 1879 be amended by
adding thereto, and provided further,
that Intoxicating liquors shall not be
sold in any quantities in counties where
no license is granted by the county
commissioners except as provided for
in section Is of this chapter (relating to
druggists, provided, that nothing in
this act shall in any manner interfere
with or invalidate any license granted
by any city council acting under the
authority of a special charter or act
granting exclusive authority in the
matter of granting licenses for the sale
of intoxicating liquors."
THE CITY COUNCIL
hitherto has had the exclusive power
under its charter to grant licenses
within the city, this power having been
reserved to it under the last clause of
the above section. But by Council Bill
No. $50, passed at the last session of the
legislature, this clause is repealed, and
it is claimed that the exclusive power of
the city is thereby done away with.
This construction is disputed by some
who maintain that OF account of the re-
pealing clause not specifically relating
to special acts. the city charter is not
affected thereby. The county commits
SiOnerS have the matter under consider
alton and ale expected to take some
action in the matter at their next meet
ing. AT present the city gets $500
license and the county gets nothing. If
the new bills affect the city as claimed
license can be hoiSted to 81, 800. Saloon
men are much excited over the matter.
A number of other cities, which are
working under special charters, are
similarly affected.
A clearer view of the case may be
had from a reading of the bills. No
100 reads as follows:
An act to amend section one C) of
chapter seVenty-two az of the laws Of
1887, relating to the sale Of Intoxicating

The appointment of Hon. johnson
Nickeus as attorney general is received
here with general satisfaction. He is
gentleman of unquestioned legal
ability, and will make a capital attor-
ney general. He was born July 2, 1850,
and is consequently only thirty-eight
years old. He has, however, had a
rather eyentful career. He left home
when not quite twelve years old, joined
Gen. POpe'S army as news boy. and
continued as such until the close of the
war. For seven years he resided at
Washington, ID. c., holding position
as one of the senate clerks. In 1880 he
left Washington and came to James
town. He has been clerk of the district
and county commissioner. In 1888 and
1885 he was member of the territorial
council from this district. In August,
1888. was appointed district attorney to
fill the vacancy caused by the appoint
ment of Judge Rose to the bench, and
i'll November of the same year was
elected for term of two years, receiv-
ing majority of 500.

pay the Col. Gale warrant for s., 900 was

ALPENA, S. D.. April 19.-It is whis-

Dakota that the time will come when

Buten was backed by nearly all the
leading politicians of the South, and it
seems TO hurt them to think that Central
Dakota got the commissioner. They
seem to think, too, that Buten could do
more commissioners work in month
than the new appointee could do in
year. Mr.: Bute8 publishes paper
