MELLErTE's MISSION.
Seeking a Market for South Da-
kota County Bonds.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Gov. Mellette, of
South Dakota; f. I'll. Smith, member
of the lower house of the legislator of
that state, and Harry Hunter, of Sphinx
county, member of the state senate,
arrived in this city this morning. They
are members of the special committee
appointed to arrange for getting seed
wheat for the farmers in the drought
stricken district. I'VE have been
in Minneapolis and st. Paul, and
now come to Chicago merely
to make arrangements. We are not
trying to get seed wheat, but only to
provide for the sale of bonds which
South Dakota counties propose to issue
to realize money to buy the wheat.
The state, under its constitution,
cannot appropriate money to aid the
farmers. The counties must keep their
debt inside per cent limit. and con-
sequently cannot furnish the money
needed except by issuing bonds. They
are going to issue the bonds and we are
here to interest the people and secure
market for the paper"

A DIRTY, CONTEMPTIBLE AC-
CUSATION.

The Free Lance, rotten, illiterate
so-called temperance paper published
by the Rev. (O @. H. GardDer at
Reno, Nevada, comes out 10 its issue
of last Wednesday with a lot Of
balderdash which is hardly worthy Of
comment or reply. It says;
"The method of mailing the Free
Lance is to write the several names Of
subscribers on the paper folded to
One-fourth or one-e;2hth Of its size
and wrap all going to one Office in one
package. This is the method pursued
by the great majority Of papers, prob
ably including the Times Review and
INDEPENDENT themselves, was recon-
mended to us by at least three intelli-
gent postmasters, aud saves postal
service an almost infinite amount Of
labor. But, arrived at the Elko Of
flee, the Free Lance was thrown out
for the people to help themselves, and
when an explanation was askel, the
postmaster trotted out an obsolete
law that papers must be wrapped
singly, and boldly said that no one
paid him for folding papers. Natural
ly the explanation did not satisfy us
and we are glad that Elko will have a
new postmaster"
Now we will see what is required
of publishers of second-class mail
matter to insure it's delivery by post
masters. The compiled and revised
Postal Laws and Regulations of the
United States, Chapter Eleven, Sec
ton 355 says: Qualifications Of the
second-class shall be properly folded
for asserting and delivery, and legibly
addressed. Should a publisher per-
sist in sending them not properly
folded, after being so notified to do,
the postmaster will be justified in not
distributing them with the regular
mails"
The Free Lance came to the Elko
office not folded and addressed as is
required by the Postal Laws, but
folded to one-fourth it's size. The
publishers were notified of the rule
of the p. o. Department regulating
the delivery Of second-c class matter,
but the Reverend" Gardner still per-
sisted in disobeying the law by send
ing the papers 80 folded that they
required refolding in order to make
them small enough to enter the
boxes, and as the Postmaster is not
paid or compelled to fold papers he
was justified in refusing to distribute
them. If the Free Lance had COM
piled with the law, it would have
been delivered as promptly as the
San Francisco Examiner or any other
paper.
AS we do not wish to befoul the
columns Of the INDEPENDENT by quot
ing any Of the language Of so. called
religious paper, edited by such an
impecunious creature and sequestered
crank as the editor of the FREQ
Lance and which upholds the state
ment that the people of Nevada,
from the child in the cradle to the
highest State officer, are burned out
and burned down with whiskey," we
refrain from ful iher comment az
present.
