This remarkable march OF progress when
augmented by federal legislation looking
TO the reclamation Of our arid lands and
the increase of the circulating medium
which will follow the free and unlimited
coinage Of our silver, will reach a point
far beyond the expectations Of the most
sanguine.
But our great resources and almost
limitless possibilities should not tempt us
into improvident expenditures of the peo-
ple's money. Against tins the constitu-
ton stands as an inseperable barrier
Section 10 Of art. u of the constitution is
important at the outset.
SEC 10. No appropriation shall be made or
any expenditure authorized by the legislative as
sembly whereby the expenditures Of the state
during any fiscal year shall exceed the total tax
then provided for by law, ana applicable 10 such
appropriation or expenditure, unless the legisla-
tive assembly making such appropriation shall
provide for leyying suficient tax, not exceed
ing the rate allowed in section nine (9) Of this ar.
licle. TO pay such appropriations or expenditures
within such fiscal year. This provision shall not
apply TO app opriatlons or expenditures 10 sup
press insurrecteD, defend the state, or assist in
defending the United States In time Of war. No
appropriation OF public money shall be made for
a longer term than two years.
Considerable difficulty has at times
been experienced in carrying on the nec-
essary affairs of the state which will be
spoken of hereafter under appropriate
headings. This has resulted from a want
Of necessary legislation to put constitu.
tional provisions into effect and to meet
many new conditions which have arisen
on account OF the change from territorial
to state government, but upon the whole
we have succeeded fairly well. The pros.
pect for the future is inviting and the
wholesome restraints of our constitution
above referred to are safe guarantee
against incurring Indebtedness beyond
our ability 10 nay.

1T LOOKS BLUE
For the Republican Party In the South
Dakota Legislature.

PIERRE, S, D., Jan. 6.-The legislature
organized to-day. The senate elected re-
publican subordinate officers by one
majority. The house elected Seward, Of
Coddington county, independently,
speaker by one majority. The democrats
and independents are united in both
houses with the exception Of one indie
pendent and one democrat. who voted
choice of speaker.
The opposition in the house does not
discourage the republicans on the sena-
torial contest, but somewhat complicates
matters. There are understood 10 be l6
contests In the house, which may result
in increasing the fusion majority Il or Is.
II is believed by republicans that they
will draw independents and democrats
enough TO elect a senator.

ST. PAUL, Jan. G.-In the Minnesota

The year which has just closed finds
every material interest of the state in

tries which we are conspicuously success
ful, have made rapid strides in develop

Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1891-04-25

One of the largest beet sugar fac
tories in the world is in course of
construction in San Bernardino
county, Cal. The work of blowing
5000 acres with steam plows is pro-
crossing, and the land will at once
be planted with beets. The factory
will cost $4,000, and is expected
to turn out more sugar per day than
any similar concern in the world.
Forty acres of land have been set
aside for homes for workingmen,
stores and other buildings. The
company owns immense tracts of
land believed to be especially adapt
ed to the cultivation of beets, and
the present establishment is but the
beginning of what will, in a few
years, be the largest sugar produc-
ing enterprise in the world.

THE deplorable condition of ag-
ricultuiists in western Kansas is
thus described in the american Call-
tivator: Hundreds of thousands
of acres of farm land in western
Kansas have been abandoned for
arabic purposes. The lands in that
part of the State have been mort
gagged 10 their full extent by the
settlers, and the continued droughts
have caused such an exodus from
there that the mortgage companies
are finding themselves with thous-
ands of acres on their hands, which
they can do nothing with in the way
of selling or renting. 1t is under
stood that foreclosure sales of mort
gagged land amounting to over a
million acres have been ordered in
the western tier of counties, and as
all this land lies together, it is to be
rented to the cattlemen, or else the
financial companies will use the
range themselves and form a cattle
syndicate. What was once sup
posed to be valuable land for corn,
oats and potatoes, proves to be unfit
for settlers, and is to be abandoned
to herds of cattle and cowboy rule.
Western Kansas is the graveyard
of many an Eastern farmers hopes,
and of many a dollar invested by
the Eastern capitalist who was
hunting for high rate of interest
regardless of security"

The San Francisco Examiner b,

The San Francisco Examiner has
established in Washington a bureau
to be called Examiner Bureau of
Claims" which will be of great
benefit to all persons having claims
against the Government of any ma
ture or description whatsoever. The
pension fees chargeable by attorneys
have for some time been limited
by law, and under the recent act Of
March 3, 1891, transferring the jur-
isdiction of Indian Depreciation
cases from the Interior Department
to the Court of Claims, Congress
not only limited the fees, but in or
der to check the rapacity of the
claim agents cancelled all existing
contracts and fee agreements be-
tween client and attorney. Con.
gress was led to take this action
ON account of facts brought to its
notice that by a combination among
the leading claim agents range of
fees from 33s to 80 per cent. had
been established. The vast mass
Of government claims are still un-
protected by law.
Mr.. William r. Hearst, son of
The late Senator Hearst, and the
proprietor of the Examiner, propos-
es to attend through his new bureau
to all classes of cases before the de-
neutrality-suspicious., patents, dep
relation claims and Indian claims
for email percentage above the
actual cost of the work.
He has engaged several compe-
tent attorneys and the necessary
clerical force Of large bureau, and
they will soon be at work. He has
placed at the head Of the bureau
Mr.. John Wedderburn, Of Washing
ton, who has long been the cores
pondent of the Examiner, and had
a remarkable experience few years
ago in ferreting out for Secretary
Tracy some gigantic contract frauds
at the Mare Island Navy Yard.
The new bureau, being established
by responsible newspaper, has al
ready received the cordial endorse
ment of many Western members of
Congress, and will doubtless do a
