BY LEGISLATURE ONLY
SAYS THE SOUTH DAKOTA su-
PREME COURT.
u Was kviasntly ihs untsntisa OF the
East legislature That No Ilonsy Shsuid
Ds Paid Oat sfths Trsssary without m
ApProprIatlsa.

Appropriations By l.egislaturs Ouly.
FoR long time there has been .
question between some OF the State
warrants In certain cases when the
State laws aud Constitution said that
certain pay meLts should be made, but
for which no specific apprOprlYt
had beer made by the i-eehl3ts
the pAyF eht 81 y per cent. 81 instlf43YtU
fees to city IRE departments, the paw.
Ment Of encampment expenses Of the
State militia, the expenses Of the board
OF charities aud corrections, the publi-
cation OF election notices aud the ex.
penses Of tho various boards. The ques-
iion applies to over sixty sections or the
Constitution and laws Of the State.
Attorney General Eollard expressed the
opinion that no money should be paid
without ; specific appropriation. The
matter was finally submitted to the SUI
preme Court und. after stating the fact
that 1t was not customary for the court
to pass upon such questions until
brought before them la com pl Amt,
the court says:
''In passing, however. we will state
that we have examined many 0f tho
above laws and have no hesitancy in
saying that thoy contain no general or
special appropriation. Some Of them
contain elements OF contracts which
imply legal obligation to pay. yet
these will not justify the Auditor in
drawing warrants on the Treasurer In
the pa! ment OF the same. The legis-
iative lawmaking power is the only de.
partment which can provide for the
payment Of claims against the Sta.e.
Until this Il done within the cOnstitu-
tiOnal limits no officer. executive or ad-
ministrative - authorized TO pay them.
The obligation To pay does not afford
means 10 pay. A conceded obligation
on the part Of the State does not
authorize any officer Of the State,
neither Governor. Auditor nor Treas
urer to make provision for payment.
This can only be done after an appro-
priation has been made therefor. and
that Is within the power Of the Leais-
lature exclusively. 1t was evidently
the intention Of the last Legislature
that no money should be paid out Of the
treasury without an appropriation
therefor and that no State Auditor or
member Of an auditory board should
draw any voucher or warrant without
III appropriation Ior t"aI ~ teSF puF-
pose. In oil questions OF doubt the
benefit Of the doubt should be given TO
the State. When wrong shalt have
been done to y party BY refn. al to is-
sue warrants or In not pa aying one W hen
one Is issued. n remedy is speedily af-
forded on q writ Of mandamns. II on
the other hand warrants are issued and
tho money Is paid from the State treas
ury, the remedy il lost and the wrong
cannot he righted, save perhaps upon
recourse TO the Official bond III III OH
Ger Offending or . criminal prosecution
under the statutes, which Is always ia
be deprecated.

ST. PETERsRURG specialsays: Little
Is now heard Of Tho famine. The cen.
dillon OF tho roads has been such that,
no matter how large y supply Of grain
the government had at It's disposal, it
could not be distributed, owing to the
impossibility Of conveyances Of any kind
reaching the places where the distress
prevails. This is changed now. Heavy
SHOWS have fallen. a strong crust has
formed, and goods and grain may be
conveyed in sledges TO any part Of the
empire. Mtch grain has already
reached the famine stricken provinces
and according to the reports received
there. the condition OF the sufferers has
mEclf improved. Since it is now possi-
bic TO ship grain into the districts where
the scarcity prevails, Gen. Annerkoh,
member Of the Famine Relief Coal-
mtttee IN charge af the TRANSPORTATION

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

A SPECIAL iron, Ciarksburg, w. Va.
saws: A report has Just reached here
from st. George that two men isnper-
sonating officers captured two wealthy
citizens whom they meant to hold for
heavy ransOms, but they were fOiled by
the escape Of one victim while they
were out after the other. The first man
captured was Thomas Varney. whom
they charged with setting fire to mi I
At Rowlesbnrg. They bound him with
a heavy rope and took him TO shanty
about four miles in the mountains,
where they tied him to the floor. They
then returned to the village and going
to the house OF DR.. Harper, knowing. 1t
Is supposed. that he was sick, pretended
to arrest him for the same crime,
Harper's weak condition obliged them
to go very slowly. and this gave Narney
time to loose his bonds and escape.
When his abduct0rs arrived 1T the
shanty and found Narney gone, they
were afraid he would alarm the author
tiles, and hastily fed. leaving Harper
still bound, miles away from his home.
He finally released himself and found
his way back to town.

1t ia noted in Washington that while
the Congressman from the North and
East wear silk hats or black OF brown
derbys, the members from the South
and the far West prefer soit felt hats.
But these hats are all black. and the
typical Southerner's broad brimmed

spicuous by its absence. Tllr high hat
