Freezing weather prevents Da-
kota Farmers From Seeding,
Special to the Globe.
HURON, S. D.. March 24.-Sergeant
Sam W. Glenn, of the United States
signal Office and director Of the North
and South Dakota crop weather service,
has prepared the following bulletin;
The season Is backward. Freezing
weather continued until the 18th, pre-
venting preparation OF ground and seed
ing prior to that date, except probably
in the Black Hills valleys ana the
southeast counties. The snow fall dur
ing the winter was slightly above the
average. Mild weather at intervals
compacted most of it, preventing exten-
of moisture from this source to be quite
uniform. There is deficiency of pre-
cipitatiOn for the month, so far, but the
ground is reported amply moist for all
spring work, except PROBABLY "sod-
breaking," and the thaWing weather of
the past few days has enabled
quite number of farmers to
do some narrowing and seeding.

with the court that it was necessary
that common carriers should be given
notice before rates in which they were
interested were fixed, but when the
question of the justice of these rates
was taken before the courts it was nee
esSary that the railroads should have
a right to be heard, and as the su-
preme court of Minnesota had refused
to hear evidence as to the reasonable
ness of the rates, the case, in his opin-
ion, should be reversed on the ground
that this is denial of due process of
law. Justice Bradley, for himself and
his two associates, delivered vigorous
oral dissent. 1t seemed to him that the
decision Of the court practically over
ruled the decision of the court in other
cases in which it had been held that the
adjustment of rates was a legislative
prerogative and not a judicial one. The
state, in chartering railroad company.
delegated a duty which primarily was
the duty Of the state, that of providing
means of inter-communicatiOn from one
part of its territory to another. 1t was
the legislatures duty
To Fix the Rates
which might be charged. 1t was the
prerOgative of the legislature to name
what should be reasonable rate, and
on that he differs from his colleagues,
who held that the final tribunal of ar
bitrament was the judicial. The ques
ton, in his opinion, was an admins
trative and not a judicial one. The
courts should never make an issue with
the legislative department of the gov
ernment where it was possible to avoid
it. 1t might be asked, Is the public at
the mercy of the legislature? He an
swered, yes. There had to be a final
tribunal somewhere to decide every
case. The courts, if the matter was left
to them, might reach a conclusion which
would be thought unjust, just as was
alleged against the commission, which
was in this case the representative of
the legislature, just as committees
would be if the legislature itself had
undertaken to fix rates. The question
was, what was the proper tribunal? In
his Judgment it was the legislature. He
did not mean that there might not arise
circumstances which would give the
judiciary power in the matter, but it
was not so in this case.

EVERYBODY is KICKING.
Citizens Of Clear Lake Vote for
Postmaster.

Special to the GLOBE
CLEAR LAKE, To-, March 24.-The
election for postmaster to-day proved to
be very close and hotly contested one.
Nine candidates had announced them
selves and made vigorous canvass.
At the opening of the polls the chances
seemed to stand about even. with
editor G. A. Cooley on one side and
the field against him. Later j. w.
McGraw and N. w. Warren withdrew
and the opposition thereupOn united on
Charles E. johnson, who received a
plurality of thirty-three votes. The
voting was confined exclusively to the
Republican patrons of the Office, who
polled a total of 359 votes, showing a
gain over the election of last fall of
6S votes. The day was a cold and
rainy one, but Notwithstanding numer-
Gus teams and persistent ticket ped
dlers secured the voting districts
and brought out full vote. The
result Is regarded by some as
great surprise. and it is maintained that
Congressman Sweeney will not act upon
the result of the election owing to the
complicated state of affairs. Intense
excitement prevails tonight, and brib-
ing is freely charged on all sides. The
johnson men are holding ratification
meeting and will later give banquet.

CELTs DO NOT LIKE 1T.
Parnell and His Aides Denounce
Balfour's Bill.

DUBLIN, March 25.-The Freeman's
Journal prints the report of an interview
with Mr.. Parnell on the subject of the
land purchase bill. He said the bill was
absurd and Objectionable in the highest
degree. The liability which the Eng
lish taxpayer will not incur, it
is coolly proposed to transfer to
the Irish cess payer. That the object
of the government is to initiate the value
of Irish land to an inordinate extent is
clearly disclosed in Balfour's speech.
A fatal defect of the measure is that it
proposes to give no local control over
its administration. In that respect, Mr..
Parnell said. it is long way behind
Trevlyans bill. Mr.. Davitt is equally
pronounced against the the bill as an
insidiOus proposal to give the landlord
more than the value of his land. MIR.
Sexton says the bill is less favorable to
the tenant than the Ashbourne act.

ton the government as to whether it
intends to provide for the widows and
children of the victims of the recent riot
at Koepenick, as it did in the case of
the family of Police Councillor Rumpff,
who was murdered during the social

CINCINNATI, March 24.-The tow boat
B. D. Wood, with tow of coal for Louis
VILE, while undertaking topass between
the piers of the Chesapeake & Ohio
bridge, made mistake, and collided
with the Ohio pier. The crash resulted
in the loss of three coal boats bearing
$4,000 bushels of coal each, and two
