DOUBTFUL DAKOTA,

Seine of the South Dakota papers ex-
press a qualification like that of the
cropping and diseonsoiate when the
murky clouds of apprehension and
doubt lift from their pathway, over the
alleged decision that the Democrats and
Independents will not fuse this year.
The fact that this gospel of promise for
she Republicans purports to come from
Washington might well cause some dis
trust of its authenticity, but the nervous
anxiety to accept it everlooks any ques-
ton growing out of its source. 1t is not
understood that there are at Washing
ton any parties having credentials to
act for either of the two lesser
parties in South Dakota, except
possibly Senator KYLE, and he is
not an assuming man. There is
no malicious desire to daIken the new
joy of Republican friends, but it is pos
sible they are being deluded by the I'M
real. In the light of figures and visible
facts. neither the Democrats nor indie
DendeDts are likely to have larger
vote than the Republicans singly
United. they can repeat the victory of
1890 and enlarge its scope. They may
be able to elect the state ticket, one or
both congressman, and take the four
electors from the Republican column.
Radical objections may be had to flu
sion, and yet pooling of sire myth for
the accomplishment of immediate
aud specified purposes may seem
to them eXpedient. Fusion, which
is the favorite term with the Re-
pubicans, means welding of
elements. That is probably impractica-
BILE and undesirable. Each would pos
seSS its organization distinct. The
question may present itself to the indie
pendents whether they will allow their
quaSi-opponents, the Democ rats. to help
them to the local positions they desire
by virtue of chunk of reciprocity that
will give the Democrats the electors,
perhaps. This might shock Republic
can virtue as sad compromise of prin-
ciple, and still lie persisted In. 1t Is
not intended to assert that such an ar
raEgement will be made, or even init
mate that on the whole it would be ex-
pedient. That is matter for the con-
sideratien of the parties in that goodIy
state. Yet it will be Well for the Re-
pubicans to put that state in the doubt
full list for the present.

A GOOD WORK

The farmers institute recently held
at Fergus Falls was one of the most in
teresting and profitable of any of these
excellent institutions that have become
SO frequent of late. 1t Appropriated
the ideal for the farmers university. as
the designation sometimes is. The most
suspicious feature of the gathering was
the widespread and deep interest mani
tested in the work by the farmers.
More than 400 of them came to the ses-
sion from all parts of the agricultural
empire, as that great and productive
county might be termed over the water.
They spent the entire period of the
sessions seeking information from
the experts and contributing some
what, of their experience. They
went %home with the germs of
new thought and methods that will ex-
pand and grow into material results as
they are discussed and understood by
the attendants upon the institute and
their neighbors. They will have a
higher and juster estimate of the dig
nifty and value of their vocation, and be
able to utilize improvements i'm proc
esses that will make them better farm
ers. The state is doing good service i'm
the encouragement it extends to this
line of educational work. and the men
in charge seem happily qualified to rem
der it profitable. The instruction
impaired is not stilted and formal, but

PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.

The death of Mr. Gerry's press gag
law has caused universal rejoicing
New York Recorder.
Newspapers are now permitted by law
to report electrical executions. They
will probably do so.-New York TeIe-
gram.
Mr.. Stern's bill against the gag law
feature of electrical executions has
passed the assembly despite the protest
of distinguished medical old fOgy.-
New York Telegram
Electrocutions will be witnessed by
the press hereafter. The knowledge
that the world will know all about it
will brace up the poor wretches.-Chi-
cago Pcess.
This free knowledge of criminal adj
ministration in all its details is neces-
Sary not only to the protection of the
just rights of criminals and alleged
criminals, but for the safety of the pub
generally approved. brooklyn Eagle.
Apart from any question of public
morals there is an unanSWerable reason
for giving executions by electricity the
widest publicity. 1t is an entirely new
method of execution, adopted solely on
the ground of greater humanity. If it
is better method than execution by the
halter it should be generally adopted.
But if executions by this method are to
be conducted in secret how is the public
and how are the legislators of other
states to know that death by 'electrocu-
ton" is more sudden and painless than
ng?-Philadelph Times.

A VICIOUS CODE.

Public sentiment generally comedies
with the delivery of that Milwaukee
judge who scored ANTHONY COMsToCK
the other day for his method of prose-
cutting Il commendable object. The
notable sIeuth hound Oh the track of the
vicious and obscene in literature and
art, under an assumed name, gained
standing as buyer Of books with a
dealer he suspected to be loft color" in
morals. He then sent an order for GER
tain improper cOlOred pictures, which
were sent him by mail, as the books mad
been. Then lie had the dealer arrested
for sending unlawful matter through
the mails. Judge JENKINS, of the
United States court, before whom the
case was brought, said Oil the trial:
There are some offenses worse than the
circulation of obscene literature. One of
them is the practice of fraud and lying, of
which ANTHONY CoMsTocK has apparently
been guilty. Mr.. COMsTOCK may be able to
reconcile his conscience with the laws OF
God and of humanity, but this court cannot
do so.
1t is often insisted that violatorS of
law cannot be brought to punish ment
because witnesses are not to be had, or
willing to testify; therefore it is justi-
fable to entice the persons to the COM
mission OF crime, that they may he
caught in it. A license bill before the
New York legislature is fercely as
sailed because it provides that police
men shall not enter saloons at unlawful
hours aud induce the keepers to fur
niSh them liquors illegally. Ii the end
justifies the means the New York bill is
wrong. and CoMSToCK is right. But
the code of ethics is fallacious and vi
cious that leads to the co mmission of
crime in order that the perpetrator
may be punished.

more comprehensive man than the pol
itician. 1t is not customary to regard
one as quite full-fedged statesman
until he has served considerable pc
riod in the national halls of legislation.
Mr.. JOHNSON is n young man, with but
two months development in this evo-
lutionary regime. His most enthusiast
tic friends in North Dakota had no
suspicion that he was statesman
while with them. Yet in few
short weeks under the fostering influ-
ences at Washington he has passed
from the chrysalis of the village politi-
clan to the national expert in statecraft,
AS well as the dates can be gathered,
the final act of transformation may
have been simultaneous with the ar
rival of Maj. EDWARDS, whose advent
consummated other processes at Wash
ington. There is no doubt that Hon.
Mr.. JOHNSON is now statesman, for
he so admits himself, and there could be
no higher authority. Yet more care
full reading of his words throws doubt
upon his real meaning, for he refers to
Feb. IS last as one of his appearances as
out adjusting the chronologies, it is suf-
ficiently gratifying at present to know
that the greatest wheat state in the
Union is not short in statesmen. 1t is
to be regretted that the discovery was
not made still earlier, as 10 doubt the
opposition to him in the campaign OF
1890, by the gentleman the president
has just Endorsed by appointing him
postmaster of Fargo, after the most ma
turt deliberatlon. was due to ignorance
that he was statesman. He was then
mistaken for feather-head politician,
whose capital was in his nationality
rather than his head. The member now
modestly confesses that he is full
orbed statesman. Unless there is an
other Republican statesman in that
state, there should be a ready solution
of the choice of the party for senator
next year. JOHNSON "feelS it in his
bones" that he is a statesman, and he
knows that the state has need of such.

the charges made by the Republicans in
that campaign. and now re-echoed by
the Republican press of the country, are
false and baseless. In that campaign
the Republicans went before the people
upon "Tammany corruption" and Hill
as its champion, while the Democrats
talked upon Legitimate issues. The re-
suit was a Democratic majority of
$4,000; and this ought to be all the
evidence Democrats would need
of the availability of David B.
Hill. In his private character
he as strongly contradicts his ma
llgners. Although accused of being
the champion of the liquor interest, he
has always been an abstainer from in
toXicating liquors. as well as tobacco in
any form, and his Elmira neighbors say
that the examiner of his career will fail
TO fnd trace of any Irregular lndul-
gence of appetite or passion. He
began without means and at the bot
tom round of the ladder, and the story
of his struggles and achievements will
be splendid campaign document. He
la abused and aSsalled just as Samnel
}. Tilden was, and there is remark
able similarity between the two men.
These, in brief, are my reasons for ia
voring Gov. HILL"
""0 ~ yOu Liiiiih was tlIc iOdoOh
for the calling of the New York state
convention SO early? Was it because
Hills friends feared to wait?
'Not at all. HIPS friends have no
fear as to New York at any time this
year. The truth is that so far as the
delegation from that state is concerned,
Cleveiand-in popular parlance lis not
i'll it, The reason that it was called so
early is that the friends of Senator Hill
want an early convention held, that the
rest of the country may know who is
the choice of the Empire state. And
who can find fault with this? 1t is as
good for Cleveland as for HILL The
talk about 'mIdwinter convention is
political buncombe, for, as we ali know,
the farmers can attend local primaries
and conventions then better than

THE DENVER BANQUET.

The annual banquet of the Greystone
club last evening at Denver was q nota-
bic affair. Its duplicate could hardly
have been held in the Eastern states
and under similar auspices. 1t was
notable mainly for the strong CLEvE-
LAND sentiment manifested by the
speakers, and of those who, like Senator
VEST, sent letters of regret. And yet
through all there ran minor chord sig
nificant of doubt in the practicability
of CLEyELAND's nomination. The let
ter from Senator VEST perhaps most
fully dwells upon this fact. AT least
one prominent Western candidate for the
Democratic nomination, Gov. HORACE
BoIEs, of Iowa. addressed the company.
But his remarks were void OF personal
political sentiment. He spoke strongly
and plainly III behalf of the issue of
tariff reform, skillfuliy steering clear of
the rocks OF party diSsenSion.
