The democrats refer to speaker Reeds
rulings as gag law, but one of the
highest living authorities upon parlia-
mentary law practice is Mr.. Reginald f.
D. Palgrave, @. b., who is clerk of the
House of Commons and has spent thirty
six years in the service of that body.
He was recently asked by the editor of
the North American Review to write his
opinions of the quorum controversy of
last January in the house of representa-
tives. Mr.. Palgrave disclaims any party
sympathies in his discussion, but shows
in the most absurd light the Ridiculous
pretense of Che democrats to being pres
emit and absent at the same time, and full
ly justifies the speaker as counting pres
ent for purposes of quorum the members
who are actually before him in their
seats. He says that the vestry boards,
governing English parishes, had former
ly attempted to use this kind of obstruc-
tive tactics, and that a long line of judi
cial decisions had ruled in favor of the
right of the chairman to count as present
those actually there,

A sPoTTER,s RECORD.

The notorious searcher, Frank Pierce,
who killed a restaurateur in Des Moines
last spring because he would not allow
his house searched for liquors without
search warrant, is now in the Black
Hills country doing the spy act. Pierce
has chosen a field where his murderous
deeds will not be sanctioned as they were
in Des Moines, and where his chances
for dying with his boots on are very
great. He has killed two men and his
last act was nothing short of cold
blooded murder and he should be pun
ished neutrality-suspicious. { Iowa) Jour

TIE WESTERN HALF.

IS
The permanent capital which will be
located in November, is not for today or
for twelve years hence, but for all time;
and to admit that it ought to be at this
time located In the center of population,
is to admit that South Dakota has
reached her full state OF development
with tendency to decay. We say, and
we believe it susceptible of proof, that
the half OF the state lying west Of the
Missouri river is equally as good as the
portion lying to the east Of that great
stream; that it is capable of sustaining
large population, and that it now ap-
pears like the younger child in the fam
lily, not at this time capable of self de-
Tense, yet, with equal rights in the heri-
tage. And now in conclusion, we will
say that we are talking to reasonable,
fair minded men; that if South Dakota
has future at al, and we believe that it
has, that it will have in ten years mil
lion people, of whom 500, 900 will be east
of the river and fully 100000 west of the
river. Can anything be fairer to all sec
tions of the state than to say to one an
other, let us place the capital in the ex-
act center, between the mining, mineral
and agricultural region west of the river
and it's markets for all the produce which
we can raise, and the greatest agricul-
tural and fuel consuming region east
ward of the river.

The election of DR.. A. e. Clough of
Madison for chairman of the state CEN
trail committee seems to have been wise
choice. He is staunch republican, a
good citizen and successful practic-
ioner, which latter qualification has al
ready aided him to considerable extent
in making correct diagnosis of the re-
spective cases of the democratic and in
dependent parties of South Dakota.

The stand taken by the western sena-
tors on the tariff has called for the most
extended comments favorable to their in
dependence. An editorial in the Phila-
delphia Times says "The west has men
in congress who have made themselves
heard and respected, even though they
do not embrace the father of the house
or the father of the senate. They have
forced the senate to give the western
farmers free binding Irvine. They have
obtained free machinery for the sugar
beet industry and they have, by their as
sertion of truth, told the country the
utter infamy OF the tariff bill for which
they will vote because they have less
ened the taxes on their own people. Let
our congressman study the manhood of
western senators and representatives.
Let them note how Massachusetts
knocked out the proposed tax on hides
how the western men knocked out the
tax on binding Irvine and on beet sugar
machinery, and then let them brace up
for one heroic effort to save the indus
tries of Philadelphia

A movement is under way among the
leaders of the two respective parties to
consolidate the democratic and independ-
emit state tickets. Should the scheme
succeed Loucks will be dropped, pre-
sumably for the reason that he only be-
came a citizen of the United States on
the 18th OF August, 1890. Whether the
move is successful or not it will make
little difference to the republican state
ticket for good republicans will be re-
publicans still, and we have sufficient
number to carry the state by.a big ma
iority. A republican congress is doing
more in the interest OF the common peo-
pie than could possibly be expected Of Q
democratic administration, and the read
ing men and thinking farmers OF South
Dakota have the good sense to realize
this fact and will not attempt to weaker
Or destroy the party in power today with
their ballots by voting the independent
democratic ticket.

To the Voters of South Dakota:
GENThEMEN:-A we are constantly in
receipt of letters from all parts of the
state, requesting us to clearly define the
position which has been and will be taken
by the Pierre Board of Trade with refer
ence to the capital campaign, we beg
leave at this time to make the following
plain statement of facts. Before doing
so, we wish to tender our thanks to the
10000 voters who last October teatified
their approval of our city as temporary
capital by voting for it on election day
To these friends we would say, that NO
act of ours during the present campaign
shall cause them to feel that their conf
dence was misplaced; and to such friends
as may vote for Pierre at the coming
election, we give assurance that they
shall, by reason of future developments
have no reason to regret it.

For the encouragement of these, we
state that careful estimate of the senti

The Black Hills Methodist college at
Hot Springs opened last week with twen-
ty-four pupils, which number is higher
than usual at the beginning of these
western places of learning. The faculty
of this new educational institution is
composed of some of the best material to
be found, and the success of the school
is well assured. By the way, the ADvER-
r1sER would suggest that the people Of
the Hills give more attention to the edu-
cational facilities they have at home be-
fore sending their children down east to
fill them up with dude ideas, Yankee
notions and malaria. Some of these
young graduates" can learn things YET

the republicans Of Meade county will
hold their convention to nominate q
county and Legislative ticket except for
state senator, which has already been
done. The delegates are men who have
but one motive Id view, viz: To select
as standard bearers republicans who can
secure victory at the polls and preserve
the principles OF the party and purity Of
the ballot box. We have such material
in our ranks and the convention will dis
play its best judgment and excellent wis
dom by making q ticket Of the character
herein mentioned A ticket of this kind
will draw the full party vote and COM
mand the respect and admiration of all

can not be impeached. With a ticket
made up Of straight men, victory will be
ours and good feeling and prosperity
will prevail throughout the county.
