SERVES THEM RIGHT.
A Wholesale Grocery House has a Me

A Wholesale Grocery House has a Nice
scheme Which Is Nipped In the Bud.
The st. Paul jobbers are very bright
men. They can rig a scheme with
neatness and dispatch and if they do
not put it through in the same man
ner it is because they meet with
some one who also has his eyes open.
This time the latter case happened.
Griggs, Cooper & Co., are whole
sale grocers in st. Paul. They have
discovered during the past year or
two that it was impossible for them
to compete in this state with the
Jewetts. By selling theirgOods in st.
Paul and shipping to merchants in
South Dakota they were obliged to
pay local freight rates, while the
Sioux Falls men could bring in goods
at car.lot rates and merely pay local
freight from Sioux Falls to deseflna-
tion. The difference was heavy and
weighed on lGriggs and Cooper's
minds. So to Offset this they cooked
up a neat scheme.
They sent their travelling men
throughout the state selling groceries
to merchants. Instead of shipping
the separated orders from st. Paul
they would ship in car-lots to Sioux
Falls and then their travelling men
would distribute to their customers
from the cars or would make up pack
ages and send out to the small towns
under the local tariff. In this way
they were to "a the freight from st.
Paul and at the same time were to
escape the rent, taxes, and labor
charges which the home houses must
pay.
Pursuant to this scheme a car Of
sugar arrived in Sioux Falls a few
days ago while others were sent to
Aberdeen, Watertown and Huron,
They will doubtless soon be recalled
in sorrow and the scheme abandoned.
G. A. Jewett, of Sioux Falls, caught
on atonce and at a request from him
Assessor Tabera at once levied the reg
ular assessment upon the car. The
tax is now a lien and must be paid
within ten days under penalty of sale.
The tax alone wipes out all the profit
on the sugar. But this is not all.
Should anyone attempt to distribute
these pods he will thereby become a
peddler. Arrangements have been
made to promptly arrest him under
the city ordinance and force him to
pay 800 for a license and also under
the general law which directs a pay
ment of e1O0 more for a county license.
No one has yet become a candidate
for these honors and it is probable
that the car will be shipped away
unopened.

ANY we'll posted man in the state
knows that there has not been a fall
ing off in the number of cattle and
hogs in this state during the past
year. On the contrary, the past year
has been conducive toa large increase.
Grass and pasturage has been abund-
ant, and no one has been forced to
sell off his stock. The railroads have
brought in a large increase in stock of
all kinds, and there has been the nat
ural increase.
The total assessed valuation of all
kinds of property before being assessed
was S112,472, 962. Last yearthe equal
lied valuation was $119,1 liz, 900 and
the state board raised the years val
uatlon to about the same figures.
In 1891 there were IA, 494, 962 acres
of land assessed and this year there
were Is, 099, All. The average assess
ment of land this year was $4.33; the
lowest assessment was in Hyde county
at 81 .9S, and the highest in Lawrence
county at Sl3.9

amount of live stock returned from
each county by the assessors this year:

VIM nN ctht AchbAS
Commencing on the 1st of Septem-
Der every Chinese in the United
States, except the retinue of the
diplomatic corps and a few merchants,
is required to apply to the internal
revenue collector at the nearest point
for a residence certificate by describ-
ing himself and fling three proof
sheet photographs of his face. His
statements are to be supported by the
af1idayits Of two cTeditablc witnesses,
and upon the approval of this appli-
cation the collector is authorized to
issue him a certificate of residence.
Between now and the 5th Of May next
he is liable to deportation back to
China on failure. There are 170,000
Chinese in the United States. Over
20, 600 of these are in California and
1900 in Oregon, and there the brunt
of the enforcement of the exclusion
act will fall. Rut there are nearly
5000 in New York, over /, 100 in Penn
sylyania and nearly LOCO in Massa-
chusetts, besides 700 in Chicago and
nearly 500 in st. Louis, where no slight
difficulties are anticipated. The
internal revenue people point out
that the obligations of the law are
discretionary with the Chinese. If
they do not choose to get themselves
photographed and to make their
applications within the time pre-
scribcd, the revenue officials have no
power to compel them. The only
penalty is deportation, which follows
the domain of the attorney general
and the secretary of the treasury.
The difficulty entertained by the
i Internal revenue officials seems to be
born out that by the $780, 600 appro-
priated by the sundrycivil bill, only
$4,000 has been allotted by the &C.
rotary of the treasury to the internal
revenue bureau to provide the neces-
sary deputies to enforce the law,
while $40, 600 has been retained by the
treasury department and the depart
ment of justice to meet the cost of
deporting recalcitrants.

4 BIG THING IN SUGAR.
A Great Drainage Scheme Proposed in
Florida,

A Great Drainage scheme proposed IN
Florida.
One of the most gigantic drainage
schemes ever known in America is
under way in Florida, some of the
stockholders being wealthy residents
of Cincinnati, Ohio. No stock is
for sale, and the enterprise is strictly
for business. The company has
secured a tract of swamp land eighty
three miles long and from three to
twelve miles wide along the st. John
and Indian rivers. The land has
three feet of sugar-producing earth.
The whole tract is to be drained
and devoted to sugar raising. The
territory will produce sufficient
sugar to supply all North America.
II is estimated that it will require
81 OO, 900 to complete the drainage.
The engineers are now at work.

American Hungarians.

Emigrants from Hungary are arriv-
ing in this country in proportions
that begin to attract attention. Sixty
thousand of them have como within
a year. They do rough work, like the
Italians, but mostly in mines and on
the railroads. Unlike the Italian,
however, the Hungarian comes to
America to stay, and takes out his
citizens papers as soon as possible.
II is the dream of his life to lay up
money enough to send back to Austro-
Hungary and bring his wife and
children over. The Italians dream,
at least in the first place, is to get
$500 and then go home to spend the
rest Of his days in bloated affiuence.
But thousands of the Italians are
changing their minds now and becom-
ing citizens too.
A Philadelphia Times reporter
found a colony of Hungarians working
in an iron mill for 81 cents an hour,
which would be ninety-five cents a
day for ten hours work. They paid
for lodgings in a tenement house,
then bought their own food and had
the lodging house keeper cook it for
them. The Hungarian, however, is
not proud, and can live as cheaply as
the Italian. The lei in the iron
mill live on about eleven dollars a
month, all told. They say that
Europe is full of steamship emigra-
tion compony agents who travel
among the country folk and represent
to them that America is a land
where gold grows on trees and every
man becomes a millionaire in five
years. No wonder SC many of them
become paupers or criminals, or COM
nit suicide after they try it awhile.

A dispatch from Sioux Falls say

A dispatch from Sioux Falls says
that the banks of that city will fight
the assessment as equalized by the
state board. The original assessment
of bank stock was made at 80 per
cent. of the face. All other property
was assessed at 40 per cent. of its
value. The state board raised bank
stock go per cent, or TO 80 per cent.
Of its face. The banks claim that
this is an unjust discrimination
against them, and will carry the
fight into the courts. A similar
fight was successfully made by the
banks there last year. The,lssessment
in several cases was for more than
the face value, in one case being 100
per cent The banks resisted the tax
and won in the courts. They will
make another effort this year.
