The last legislature reduced the salar-
les Of county t%reasurers and register of
deeds to not more than $l,500in counties
Of less than 1900 inhabitants. In event
Of the fees Of the respective offices not
reaching $3.50 then the officer only re-
ceives the amount of the fees received.
ALI fees in excess Of the $3.50 must be
turned into the county general fund,
The county commissioners are permitted
to allow compensation for deputies or
clerks employed in the offices, but in no
case can the total amount paid the regis
ter or treasurer for salary and clerk hire
exceed the amount Of fees by such officer
collected. 1t is o misdemeanor for ethel
officer to appropriate to his own benefit
money allowed for clerk hire.

a singular Case.
Sioux Falls A~rgus:-The Sioux City
Journal prints a long article denouncing
the rule of the majority by the minority
in South Carolina. Every patriotic citi-
zen will agree that the Journal is right.
But amid all Its denuDciations we fail to
notice mention Of a case Of minority rule
as fragrant as the other. Is the silence
due to the fact that the lstter is managed
by Republicans to tile injury Of the DEM
cratsp
The case is that Of Connecticut. In
former days the state was merely a league
Of towns and each township had one OF
two representatives In the Legislature,
according to its size. In time several
cities of considerable size grew up, but
the smaller towns from natural jealousy
refused to allow a change of constitution
and the townships which contained a
large city had no more representatives
than those which were strictly rural.
The state Legislature was like the
United States Senate. In the latter New
York has the same representation as does
Nevada, though its population is more
than one hundred times as large. In the
Connecticut Legislature the town of Mil
ford, with four or five Thousand popula-
tion, has two representatives, and the
town OF New Haven, with eighty thousand
has only two.
AS in other portions Of the north the
rural districts arc strongly Republican
while the cities are strongly Democratic.
The result is that while the state almost
always goes Democratic on a popular
vote, the legislature has all overwhelming
Republican majority.
The result OF this state Of affairs is
most important. Connecticut always has
two Republican United States senators
and the governor Is always Republican.
The constitution provides that to Sc
cure election the candidates for state Of
fees must receive a majority of all votes
cast. In case they fail to do so the legis-
lature elects.
Now. ut every state election in recent
years there have been at least three par
ties and none has received a majority
over all. The legislature has always
elected the governor. except in '82, when
Governor Walle received a full majority.
In other years the Democrats have invar-
iabiy headed the poll, but the Republi-
cans by controlling the legislature have
secured tho goyernorship.
This is minority rule. 1t simply means
that no matter what vote the Republican
candidate may get before the people he
will be successful.
The Democrats have for years fought
against the injustice Of this arrangement
but they have little hopes of success.
The constitution cannot be changed with
out the consent Of the legislature and
the governor. Hitherto they have refused
to sacrifice their party's interest for the
sake Of fair play. Slonld representation
be based upon population, Connecticut
would become a Democratic state.
The Argus desires to call this instance
to the attention of the Journal and other
bourbon-haters. and to suggest that while
declaiming S o earnestly against minority
rule in.the south they devote some atten.
ton to similar cases in the north.

Springfield. Mo-. Nov. 10. 1890.

'RA navy ANy AJcOs l
To THE EDITOR OF THE GRAPuIc:-
promised to write you a few lines
when l left Dakota about my trip to the
Sunny South. We had for the most part
a very pleasant trip. The weather was
fine and the roads good until we reached
the Usage river in Missouri, the fourth
week Of travel, when we experienced one
good soaking rain, the first since last
spring, and we have had plenty ever
since in this part of the United States.
The contrast with Dakota Is quitea trans
ition. There the land is smooth and level,
with few flowing streams and water
scarce. Here the land is mostly broken,
the soil stony, plenty Of timbeEs with
plenty of flowing streams, springs of
flowing water on all sides-some large
enough to run grist mills the old way.
No lack Of water. One Of the leading
industries is wood cutting and hauling.
The cultivation of apples is destined to be
the leading pursuit Of the farmers. No
place have I seen finer apples and the
trees more healthy. All kinds of ordi-
nary farm produce do well-wheat. oats,
corn, potatoes, etc. Prices are about as
follows: wheat, 80 cents; corn, 35 cents;
potatoes. 70 cents: sweet potatoes. 60 cents.
Hay is IS atom, and there is plenty Of it,
although this is claimed to be a poor
year-to0 dry. Well, that seemed to be
the cry all the way down. In all places
the drouth was bad enough, but it seemed
to be in streaks. We would pass through
several miles of poor crops and then a
few miles Of good. The finest corn and
grass seen on the trip was on the Big
Muddy bottom from Yankton to Sioux
City, although the crops were fair to
Council Bluffs. We stopped a few days
in Mills county, To-, and had a pleasant
time with old friends there. We Travelled
across Fremont and Page counties, as
fine a farming country as can be found.
anywhere, unless it is Nodaway county,
Mo-, around Maryyille, the garden spot.
Blue grass, clover and timothy are at
home from Council Bluffs, la. to Kansas
City. But in that fins country land is
high and the renter must pay from $500
to $3.50 per acre or .2-5 crop. South of
Kansas City there is some fine country
from H~arrisonYille to Nevada, Vernon
county. Lend is cheaper and rents lower.
A good place for general farming and
stock raising. The country is level and
well watered, but the water is mean tast-
ing. So | find that every country has its
faults. Even this part Of the sunny South
has compelled me to draw on my fur coat
few days. Sringield is booming; popu,
lation in corporation and suburbs $1,000
to 10000. City property and lends some
miles from the city are high.

The result Of the recent elections re-
calls to mind q sentence delivered by the
late Chief Justice Miller: ITO lay with
one hand the power Of the government
on the property Of the citizen, and with
the other bestow it upon favored individ-
uals to aid private enterprises and build
up private fortunes, is none the less rob-
berry because it is done under the forms
Of law and is called taxation"

The county commissioners Of Aurora
county have reduced the salary Of the
county attorney to $500 per year, and the
COMMISSIONS Of Sanborn county have re-
duced that officials salary to $500. And
yet some folk wondered why the GRAPHIC
kicked up such terrible fuss because the
Brute countY's attorneys salary was
made $500. The board recently cut it
down to 500. They ought to have cut
of another 800.

regret to say that one of my earliest
mentors in sport taught me to shoot
wild monkeys for the sake of their
skins, from which we made comfort
able soft racquet shoes. But l soon
abandoned the evil practice; and in
after times did what | could to make
up to the monkeys for this unkindness.
l flatter myself that l once saved the
life of a large ourang-outang in the
Calcutta Zoo. He was big, ugly fell
low, all covered with red hair. He had
got out Of his house and was walking
about the gardens, when he was seen
by some casual workmen. who were
much frightened. and began to throw
bricks at him and strike at him with
big sticks, and probably they would
have hunted him to death. Luckily l
appeared on the scene, and, ordering
the crowd to stand back, / went for
ward and offered the ourang-outang my
hand. He Immediately took hold of
my wrist. and we walked off toge Their
to his house, rather a comical looking
pair fancy, and he gladly took refuge
indoors. He was really very tame, and
would always eat grain out of the palm
of my hand, holding my wrist tightly
with his hand till the grain was fin
ished.
Some of the ourang-outangs that we
had were so tame that they used to be
let out loose in the gardens until the
hour when the public began to arrive.
But they did much mischief to our
trees For it was their pleasure to get
up the trunk of a tree and break off
some of the branches and make for
themselves a platform to sit upon. If
they had been content with one tree it
would not have signified so much; but
when the leaves of the shady bower
that they had built began to wither
away and give insufficient protec-
ton from the sun, they COM
menced to build a new house and
to ruin another tree. They were very
sensitive of the heat of the sun. My
particular friend mentioned above had
the misfortune to lose his wife, a lady
of much darker color and rather larger
than himself, and, if it is not too rude
to say so, even much uglier. But he
was very fond of her. and of their baby,
which was few months old, and quite
pretty in comparison with its parents
But the poor lady died, and her hus-
band was inconsolable. He planted
himself out in the heat of the midday
sun, until he got coup dc S0tsiL fol-
lowed by paralysis, and he also died.
We had specimens in the Zoo of nearly
every kind of monkey in India, but /
have no space to tell of them in detail.
Most monkeys are gregarious in their
habits, and like to live together in
troop. If kept singly they droop in
spirits and neglect their toilets, ''where-
as" writes DR.. Anderson, ''if two or
more are kept together they mutually
attend to personal cleanliness in the
way which is so characteristic of their
care. "-Longman's Magazine.
