APPOINTMENTS.
We are much pleased to announce the
appointment by Governor Mellette of
three conscientious and able women upon
the board of charities and correction.
Miss Philena Everett Johnson, of High
more; Mrs. Caroline s. Cummings, OF
Huron, and Mrs. S. E. Young, of Sioux
Falls. Being personally acquainted with
the two first named ladies, we can vouca
for their earnestness and ability and know
that they would honor any position within
the gift of the governor.-Dakota Ruralist.
WASHINGTON, April 18th, Special to the
Daily Press. If the bill which was favor
ably reported today by the house commit
tee on postofices and postroads should be-
come a law every town of 5000 inhabitants
would be entitled to a public building or
the money required for the purpose. 1t
has been shown by members opposed to the
S%1O,OOo,00o appropriation for three line
battle ships, that this sum would buy all
the postoffices provided for in the bill,
which has been favorably reported. Quite
a rumber of the new western men voted
for the S16,OOO,OOO bill and explain their
votes by saying that Reed is speaker:
Boutelle is chairman of the naval commit
tee, Miliken is chairman of the public
buildings and grounds committee. All OF
these men are from Maine, and the only
way they can stand in on their building
bill is to work with the men from Maine.
We want this ''you tickle me and I'll
tickle you'' business stopped square off.
There is more money in the treasury than
is needed, and the first thing is to stop
putting it there. The common people in
the end pay all this money. Better re-
duce the surplus by reducing the tariff
rather than by increasing the expendi-
ture. The farmers have no use at present
for new line of battle ships or $4,000
buildings in every town. They want
warehouses for the coming crop, and a
fair chance to borrow money on gilt edge
security as low as any man on the earth
and by all the powers they are going to
have it. sThe new western men" better
get a moye on themselves. Ingalls, is
down on his marrow bones, and now is the
passing opportunity for some other gen.
tlemen. Not a dollar for anything on
earth until there is help for the farme in
a practical way. If the new western men
cannot find a way. the people will send
newer men who can.-Dakota Ruralist.
1t takes 4sO loads of corn to pay the
salaries of the county treasurers and regis
tels of deeds, which if strung out in loads
of twenty-five bushels each, giving. to each
load three rods, it would require a caval
cade four and one-half miles in extent to
pay for the employment of these two in
d%ividuals; while the mechanic, laborer,
clerk and farmer, who work infinitely
harder, do not as a rule, receive one-feurth
the compensation. But then talent must
be paid for. Bosh-talent! 1t makes one
sick to hear such sickening trash. A hun
bred men in every county can be found
who would jump at the chance to take
those positions at S75 per month and who
would be just as competent as the average
present incumbent. The present unreas-
enable salaries lead the Office seeker to use
a corruption fund to secure position to,
and labor for a reelection. When the
