VOL q.

One by one, the old crowd which came
home in body one year ago with loud
reioicings, have been sneaking home.
Things were not what they seemed" !"
Pettigrew was the first to throw up the
sponge. Then came the postmasters,
editors, commissioners, deputy mar
shals and receivers. After being sure OF
his own defeat, Moody still tarried to
make sure that no other republican got
there, when he too started for his de-
serted seat IN Washington.
In the defeat OF Judge Moody bossism
has received a blow from which it will be
long in recovering. Honest Abe Boland
says that the independent legislators are
the best organized body OF men
he ever saw together. He says
you could not find a weak
point in their ranks. There was
plenty OF money there and not all in re-
publican pockets. The democrats had
plenty OF it, but there was no use for it..
The independents were not for sale. 1t
is reported by other parties that the re-
publican bosses had abstracts OF the
financial condition OF every independent
member and the prices offered some OF
them would astonish our readers.
Capt. Gardner, Wisa recently returned
from Pierre, states that as whole, the
legislature was composed OF as honest
and able a body OF men as ever got to-
gether.

In spite Of the slurs Of old party Lead
ers, cast at the parentage OF the new
party, the vigorous health and rapid
growth OF the child proclaims the pure
blood that courses it's veins.
That which one year ago began in, re-
volt from party bossism, has grown from
city, town and county, through the
states to the capital of the nation. The
blight OF drouth nor the blessings OF a
fruitful harvest, cannot now check its
course to the Whitehoute.

Routine Work of the Session.

The Same Old saw.-The Senatorship-t
Routine Work of the Session.
From our Regular Correspondent.
PIERRE, S. d., Feb. 16.-Well, here is
another week gone and nothing OF any
consequence accomplished yet. A few
bills have been Passed and many intro
duced which can never reach consldera-
ton of both houses at this session.
Thus far more attention has been paid
to the introduction OF bills than final
action on those already introduced, and
few members seem to realize that we
have only about three weeks more be-
fore final adjournment. During this
time new election law must be enacted
as also a new school law, to say nothing |
OF the numerous minor laws which are
Of reality just as impartant as any OF
them. It is conceded fact here that
this session must enact new laws to 4
take the place OF our present school and
election laws and this week will doubt
less be devoted to general considera-
tion OF these measures. AS regards the
election LAWN our opinion, a strong
effort will be made to establish the Aus
tralian ballot system, it being more gen
orally demanded by the people OF our
state than any other system now in
operation. What the new school law
will be is yet to be determined, but it is
probable that it will include provis-
ion for the free text book system.
Some little effort will be made to re-
peal the county commissioner law and
enact in it's stead the township super
visor system OF the states. Then there
is the new apportio which must
OF necessity be made, according to the
z provisions Of our constitution. This
will take up no little amount OF time, as
it is an important measure and the
members cannot go bllndly into the mat,
ter. The senate is at present engaged
and has spent two or three days upon
this question, The idea is to give each
county one representative and one addi-
tional for each 1000 votes and the sen
ators to be. apportioned to one for each
$500 votes. AS will be readily seen,
this will materially reduced the mem
bership in both houses.
There is no possibility OF an adjourn
ment before the actual time prescribed
7 by law, and then it is doubtful if all the
laws which should be enacted viii secure
final attention. The absence OF some
forty members, too, from Friday morn
ing until Monday night, will necessarily
delay matters somewhat. Speaking d
the absentees- Speaker Seward is tht
most prominent just now, in connection
with his rumored trip to Illinois for th,
AIS purpose Of effecting a deal on the sen
atorship between the two states. Q
course there is a color given to thestate
ment from the jact that Mr. Seward ha
really gone to Illinois, but we are notso
the opinion that there is any truth il

learned from the gentleman's own lip

We wish to call the attention OF the
horse buying world to the third annual
sale OF the well known and popular con-
Germ doing business at Fremont, Neb..
under the name OF the Percheron and
Arabian Importing Horse Co. As is
known to almost every this is but q
branch establishment, as it were, or
rather one OF q collection Of important
sale and breeding plants located,in vari-
Gus parts OF the universe, the parent or
original farm being in the far famed
Perche, OF La Belle France. Here for
many years the old Medoyy farm has
taken solid place among the substan-
tial establishments OF the French repub-
lie, and done it's full share in attracting
wide spread attention to the superb the
gay, the grand French horse. In time,
being progressive Frcnehmen, they
brancheu out, and in the due course OF
events selected the stald little city OF
Fremont, resting on the north bank OF
the river platte, as a desirable point for
base OF operation in the United States.
In connection with this plant they carry
on alarge breeding ranch in the Black
Hills country Of Dakota, and seem to be
in the most favorable position imagin.
able for transact,ng a huge horse indus
try. Since in France they are breeders
A of the best strains and at Quebec have
a branch taking large numbers Of horses
4 it seems within the bonnds OF common
sense that they should be able to sci
/ cheaper than the cheapest. Remembel

than 10000. The same dispatch says
that beyond the shadow of doubt the
alliance with elect the presidential
electors in California next year.
Dispatches from various sections of
Ohio assert that Senator Sherman is
certain to be defeated and estimate that
the peoples ticket, which although not
formally endorsed by the alliance as an
organization gets its strength from mem
bers of the alliance, will poll not far
short of so thousand votes.

given to the Press before it reached the
white house. AS Mr.. Wanamaker is a
peaceable man it is hardly probabet
that he will rake up disagreeable by
cones to raise row with Roosevelt, who
is pugnacious to an unusual degree,
owing perhaps largely to the fact that
he is independent of the salary he re-
ceives from the Government.
Mr.. Blaine returned to Washington
Saturday as quietly as he left it last
May. He spent yesterday very quietly,
a portion of it with Mr.. Harrison: and
to day he was in his office for while.
But Mr.. Blaine never was much of a
pronliscuous hand-shaker so he soon
tired of receiving the pleasant but none
the less monotonous greetings of his
numerous callers and escaped to his
residence just square away, where, as
he has done ever since he become Sec
retary of State, he will do all of his
work, free from Interruptions,
he always has when in the department.

cannot get there in less than sixty days.
It vas not realized until official report
was received here how great an insult
had intentionally been given the Ameri-
can flag by the Chilian mob the indigna-
tion is just beginning to manifest itself
among the people, who express them
selves as being willing to stand by the
adm inistration in any method it may
adopt to obtain respect for the flag.
!. Senator-elect Palmer, of Illinois, who
is now here making arrangements for
quarters during the comming session
of congress, is evidently not Hill man,
or he would not have used the following
langu age in answering question as to
what he thought of the New York situa-
ton; .I find the disposition in some
quarters to suspect Gov. Hill of a lack
Of sincerity in desiring Mr.. Flower S
election. 1t is urged that Gov. Hill is
anxious to show that he is the only
democrat who can carry New York.
Now, if Mr.. Flower, with all the patron
age and machinery of the State under
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1891-11-05

the control of Gov. Hill, is not elected
it seems to me that it will require a
great deal of selfabnegation on the part
of Gov. Hill to make the democrats
believe that he was not in some seLse
responsible. In other words, if he had
the State so well in hand, there seems
to be no reason to expect Mr.. Flowers
defeat. If he has not, then we have
been led to expect too much. The
election of Flower will bring Gov. Hill
to Washington to take his seat in the
Senate with a great deal more prestage
resulting from demonstrated power than
he could ever hope for, from defeat.
Indeed, in the latter event do not see
how Mr.. Hill can be considered in the
light Of a candidate for the presidency"
There is some speculation here as to
wheather Mr.. Wanamaker will in his
annual report, upon which he is now
working, take occasion to hit back at
Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt
for the blow the latter aimed at him
in that memorable letter to the president
