THE SCHOOL LANDS.

A strong feeling has grown up in the
minds Of many that the constitutional
clause governing the disposition OF
school lands is not the most favorable to
the interests OF the state. Great pres
sure will be brought upon the legislature
to provide for the submission OF an
amendment to that portion OF the con-
stitution, to the effect that the lands
shall be leased and not sold. General
Beadle, ex-territorial superintendent of
Dakota, and a man who has given years
OF thought to this and other educational
matters, i'll apaper read before the South
Dakota educational association, held at
Yankton last week, earnestly urges the
necessity OF an amendment. When it is
known that General Beadle was largely
instrumental in getting the existing
| clause into the constitution when that
document was framed in 1885, and that
more extensive study OF the matter has
caused him to take grounds against it
there would seem to be great force il
his present opinions. The Star, at pres
entis inclined to the belief that q judlci
GUS and faithfully executed plan OF leas
ing will bring greater benefits in the lon.
run than would result from a sale OF tn,
lands at the present time.-Hot SPRING

LINCOLN, Jan. Cat recent meeting
Of the Masonic grand lodge OF this state,
q rule was adopted which prohibits q
saloonkeeper from becoming Mason or
remaining in the order if he continues
the business. 1t has just leaked out
that a Lincoln lodge has begun the work
OF purging the order OF this state OF mem.
mers engaged in that business Charges
were preisssed some six weeksago against
about three prominent members OF the
order in this city who were engaged in
liquor selling. and at recent meeting of
the lodge, after an all nights session,
they were expelled from the order. This
is the first case under the rule. It is un-
derstood that like prosecutions will be
begun all over the state.

TIN TOWNSHIP.

The regular meeting OF Tin township
school board was held at the school
house in Rockerville Tuesday, january
IA, at 1:3O, p. m. There having been
no meeting since the regular one in Oc-
tober, a great deal OF business came
before the board. Among numerous
bills audited was one of S363.9O for
school supplies. This was for furniture
supplied Red Earth, Hayward and Gulch
sub-districts ts and set Of roller cased
maps, globe and dictionary for each
regular school. A bill OF ST36 was also
allowed for the new school building on
Teepe, near Beardshear's saw mill. On
account OF business affairs, John r

TESTIMONY OF KANSAS PREACHERS.

TESTIMONY OF KANSAS PREACHERS.
The members Of the Kansas Preachers
Meeting, recently assembled in Topeka
issued a declaration from which we ex-
tract the following passage:
"Since the law prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale OF intoxicants (save for
the excepted purpose OF science and
medicine) went into effect, though it was
opposed for two years with vigor on the
part OF the liquor element, there is now
vigorous and successful enforcement
| OF the law. There exists no open sa-
looms Instead OF immigration being
discouraged and suppressed, our vast
country is filling up with class of
sober, frugal, moral, and industrious
population. The business Interests OF
our state were never more healthy and
prosperous. Large capital from abroad
is seeking investment among us. Our
| cities and towns show an absence OF the
drunken, idle rabble class, and the pres
ence OF a noble, sober, and trustworthy
people. That a low, lawiess class r1an-
dcstinely secrete in cellars and retired
rooms small quantities OF liquor for their
own personal use, and fraudulent sale
under the guise Of medicine, we freely
admit. So also do men with subtletv
and secrecy enter the houses OF our
people and invade their premises for
plunder. The officers OF the law are
with vigilence searching out and bringing
to justice the violators OF the law with
such promptness as to discourage and
deter offenders, and consequently the
number OF vioiators is very limited
The enforcement OF 4helaw has reduced
in remarkable degree the number O
convicts in our State prison. 1t hal
reduced very largely the number O
criminal cases in our courts. It ha
added greater security and safety tt
travel on our railroads. 1t has made i
, possible for large bodies OF people Il
assemble for all lawful purposes withou
, annoyance from intoxicated persons
| 1t has reduced the number OF count,
dependents, and in that way and othe
, ways has reduced taxation. The glor,
/. OF prohibition in Kansas is that tn
open saloon is forever gone, ant
| drunkardmaking OF our sons and broth
ers, husbands and fathers, is at an end
, 4 drunken man upon the streets Of ou
capital city OF $4,000 inhabitants is
rare sight Our people throughout tn
, State, with a very limited exception
are in perfect harmony with the law, an
+ have no desire to return to the day
| and doings OF the open saloon and fire

Twenty-six new students were added
to the normal school Monday and
twelve Others are expected within a
week or two. The janitor states that
twelve new seats will be put into the
school rooms this week, and several
more will be needed when the students
are all in attendance. Those added Mon.
day are all Dakotans, many OF them
from the Hills. This addition increases
the number OF students for the present
term to 1874, which willin all probability
be an even 14O before the close OF the
term.-DeadwOod Pioneer.

With the glorious motto regnant,

From the chains it's servants wear.

TWENTY ACRE MINING LocAT1oN's-How
THEY ARE LOCATED.

Editor UNION: Our land laws, inviting
every citizen OF the United States to take
his choice OF lands not already taken,
allowing him to perfect title by paying
an amount sufficient to defray expense
Of record, transfer etc., are very liber-
al laws.
The laws relative to mineral lands are
also very liberal. It allows the miner
to locate twenty acres, or less, for min
ing purposes. All laws however have a
policy, and the policy OF our lawsas ap-
piled to agricultural lands is, to offer
and secure to every one who may avail
him orherself ofitsprovisions, a "home.' y
To the miner the policy is to secure to
him some base, beyond the reach OF
blackmail, before he makes any great
outlay, by constructing bitches, fumes
ETC., aud thereby avoid the clashing OF
interests. It is also the policy OF our
mining laws to recognize only such loca-
tions as are "bona fide." That is,
"those actingin good faith"
Not withstanding our liberal mining
laws, gross frauds are being pratlced
under them, the law itself being made the
warrant for perpetrating the fraud,
Twenty acre locations are being made by
persons with hardly pretense to min
ing and by mutual interests pergury be-
comes the main factor to secure title,
persons names often appear on twenty
acre location stakes, who have never
been on, or seen the ground, who do not
have the remotest intention OF mining
said ground Are such locations "bona
fide?" 1t may be said that the writer
does not know the intention OF the loca
tor. The writer has no right to lmputf
motives to any man or set OF men unless
there be an apparent one, but when mer
indulge in the ways that are dark, ant
the tricks that are vain,' the motive is
most apparent.
The advent OF a moneyed corporation
in our midst assures market for these
locations, the title to which, is not i'm
proved by transfer, but remains witt
the same force and has in many case!
about the same tenure that title tt
stolen goods has, with this exception
one is procured under the guise of law
the other in open defiance OF law. Th
| encroachments that are being made b,
locations OF twenty acre II seee Is ier agri
cultural and speculation purposes
threatens to seriously affect the minin
interests if not checked, instead OF invit
the, ,prospectors to search for the prec
ious metals. This "dog-in-the-mange
policy operates as q bar to develope
ment.
Is it not about time the bona (?)tid
locator should declare himself bv show
ing the "good faith that is in him. b,
his works, while adventurcrs who pro
cure under the guise OF law, simply con
forming to the letter, violating the spiri
and substance, should be made to fee
that fraud is fraud" crime crime an
guilt guilt, and that the miners OF th
and future generations are Untitled t
their inheritance. ON LOCKER.
