SOUTH DAKOTA RAILROADS.

The recent report of the railIo DAD COM
mission of South Dakota comprises
much information of interest in regard
TO the progress of the railroad interests.
The 1S2 miles of new road in the year
is not much. but it compares favorably
with most of the Western states. There
was lull in tracklaying last year.
Many new lines are projected. But the
commission has had busy year. 1t has
given personal attention to every COM
plant of shortage of cars or inequality
of rates, and rectified the matter in each
Instance. 1t is intimated that the men,
bers have not accepted the use of spe-
cial trains or cars, or the social condi-
mentS the companies are so fond of dis
peHslng to this class of toilers in the
public service. Nor have they begun
to weary in we'll doing. All they ask
is that the state shall stiffen their arms
and enlarge their powers SO as to cover
these points:
First-The board should have supervision
over telegraph, telephone, express aud Sleep
ing car companies as it now has over rail
roads
Second-In case of an accident. that it be
their duty 10 visit the scene and investigate
the causes.
Third-In cases of prairie fire caused by
locomotives of railways it should be the duty
of the board TO investigate.
Four 1.-The board should have the power
to issue subpenas and administer oaths.
Fifth-rhe power to fix rates when the
one existing is proven an unjust one.
Sixth-The power to establish atations and
side tracks.
Seyenth-To compel the construction of
suitable stations for the accommodation of
the public.
Eighth-Power to orderfences constructed.
Most of these provisions seem to come
within the natural scope of the opera
tons of the commission, and are evil
IDENTIFY in the power of the legislature to
beStow. 1t would be well to have this
board investigate all serious accidents,
and be able to point out the culpable
parties when there are such. In the
case of persistence in dangerous meth
DDS, as perhaps the use of stoves in cars,
the commission might enforce remedy.
But. even if the possession of the power
to fix exact rates is conceded to the leg
iSlature. with the right to delegate it to
a commission, the experience had In va
riouS states is not favorable to its eXer-
else. Maximum figures and equality of
privileges to all individuals will employ
the activities of commissions quite sutfi-
GENTLY. Nor is it clear that the commits
sion should have more than an advisory
relation to the erection of depots and
their location. 1t might be very oner-
Gus exaction of new or non-paying
road to erect stations that would meet
the view of a commission and build
fences at all times. 1t may be pre-
sumed that the road has some concern for
the interest of the people who are its
main support.

Of Small Importance.

st. Louis Republic.
The instinct of the people of the West
and South is right on the coinage ques-
ton. but they have not mastered its de-
tails nor learned to estimate its i'm
portance in relation to other issues. 1t
is question of coin or coin note eircu-
latiOn against national bank note circu-
latlOD, and as such it is not a pressing
question now, nor will it become SO
until the outstanding national debt falls
due and the issue is Oh perpetuating it
as basis for a paper circulation con-
trOlled by private corporations. Then
it will have to be fought to a finish re-
CARELESS of other issues. Now it is of
small Importance compared to the over
ShadOwing question OF lower taxes OH

Simply Rot.
oAhiPil
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
A treasury official is quoted in a
Washington dispatch rs saying that the
free silver coinage measure is simply
rot" Another said, IAN ounce of
gold will always be worth an ounce of
gold, and gold may command pre-
MUM. but it will be in silver" Mr..
Bland is reported as saying that if gold
is going up to Sl.90 as consequence of
passing the silver bill lie considered the
fact an argument in favor of the meas
ure. and, as The people must have
money, they can then get silver" Yes.
the people who toll will then get silver,
about the same number of dollars for
each days work as they do now. and
will be able to buy with them only 70
per cent as much groceries and dry
goods and other creature comforts as
they do now. That kind of an arrange
ment will help the people wonderfully.
But they will be far from satisfied with
the experience.

Not a Democratic Measure.

New York Times.
The question before the majority of
the house is in reality a political one. 1t
is perfectly we'll understood that they
cannot put free coinage law on the
statute books. They cannot, so far as
can now be judged, get the assent of
the senate, and if they could they could
not overcome the veto which Mr.. Har-
rison is pledged to interpose. 1t is,
therefore, simply question of whether
they shall commit the Democratic
party to free coinage. and thus make
it the sole issue of the approaching can
vass. On such a question Democrats
who see, as Mr.. Tracey and Mr.. Will
Jams undoubtedly see. that the party is
doomed to defeat if tine unlimited coin
age of silver is to be made the dominant
issue this year. have clear right to use
any means placed in their hands by the
condition of the rules of the house to
secure delay. 1t cannot be pretended
that the majority really represent the
party upon this question. because when
they were elected the party had no such
issue in mind

out the real secret of his mission to
Washington. He is devoting all his
time and energies to the aid Of Con-
gresham JOHNSON in sending garden

The harvest is to be in November. The
major also has suggestive way of
abiding TO the cuteness of his friend
Col. MORTON in inducing all the wires
and papers to advertise him as the tiller
of 10000 acres of Dakota wheat, under
the guise Of the farmers champion in
opposition to the WAsHBURN option

work to think of several things of inter-

What 1t Proposes to Do.

New York Press.
1t proposes to take the American dol
lar. that now represents 100 cents the
world over, and make it represent an
amount of silver bullion that is only
worth 10 cents. If the Bland bill should
become law no debtor would pay his
obligations in the gold 100-cent dollar
while the silver or paper 7O-cent dollar
would do just as well. The working
man would be Obliged to take the de-
based dollar for his wages, whose pur-
chasing power would be diminished 80
per cent. The blow would be felt first
by the wage Garner, but it would ulti-
matelY bring disaster to every bushes
interest in the country.

anybody who is inclined to weep at
pictures of human poverty will admit
that this is very depressing. So power
full, so exalted, and yet so poor! 1t re-

what the GLOBE thinks is this: If good
looks, courtesy and ability constitute
wealth, President EGAN is the richest
man in this community.

Cheaper Clothing First.

st. Louis Republic.
In this name of common sense what is
the use of shouting for I'm ore moneyp'
in a country in which a few trusts, con-
trolling all we want money for, can
take it at their pleasure and in the
course of year leave us worse off than
ever? Cut down the tariff taxes that
keep us from importing real wealth,
and then when we put the issuance of
money under control of the laws of trade
it will mean something. Let us get
more and better and cheaper clothin G
first, and the coinage issue can be left
to take its chance when we can make a
chance for it.

MEsABA IRON RANGE.

Recent wonderful discoveries of iron
ore deposits in the Mesaba range, near
the Duluth Il Iron Range railroad, bid
fair 10 revOlutionize the business in
duStries of the Northwest, and more
pa rticularly the states of Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
The GLOBES dispatches from Duluth.
published yesterday morning, convey a
fair idea of the estimated value of these
new Developments. There is every rea-
son to believe that they are not in the
least exaggerated. The numerous pits
that have been sunk III the course of
thorough and systematic prospecting
are open to the inspection of all. Every
day they are visited by Eastern and
Southeastern capitalists and mining eX-
perts. Their united testimony in no
wise conflicts with the claims of the
most sanguine who are more or less in
terested i'll the development of this new
find of iron ore. Aside from the Nc
kinley properties, upon which four
pits have been sunk, showing about fifty
feet of clear ore, most gratifying results
have De; II obtained from pit prospect
Ing i'll the Cincinnati, Biwa0ik. Hale,
Kanaba, Ohio and Chicago properties.
In view of the rich developments
already achieved in these directions, the
public should be cautioned against
system of fraud quite as likely to be at
tempted in this connection as it has in
regard TO other iron ore enterprises in
the Gogebic and other ranges. Specu-
lative and constituencies hustlers will,
10 doubt, secure small holdings of land,
one hundred or more acres, OIL the
fringe of the valuable iron leads
mentioned, sink pit or two, hastily
organize a syndicate, sell the stock for
whatever they can realize and-that
will be the end. 1t is to guard against
such fraud that the GLOBE advises
every one to carefully examine into
the true condition of all companies be-
fore investing their money. The pres
ent holders of the properties mentioned
court the fullest investigation, and are
equally sincere in warning the public
against attempted swindles in the fut-
ure

An Erroneous Sentiment.

We lay before our readers this morn

bill to provide for free silver coinage.
and ask for it careful perusal. 1t is
paper Of such ability and force of rea-
soning that no man, whether he be for
orIagainst free coinage, should do him
self the injustice of failing to read it. 1t

shake the confidence of believers in
cheap money. No abstract of this re-
port could be made to fairly present its
condensed and logical argument, and
we therefore abstain from making one.
Itswill be matter of establishment, in
the face of this presentation. whether
Democratic representatives in congress
will not prefer to oppose an erroneous,
sentimental and temporary desire on
the part of misinformed constituencies,
rather than assist in plunging the coun-
try into assured financial difficulties and
defeating the reforms to which the ma
jority stand pledged.

MOVEMENT OF GRAIN.
Chicago Roads Busy and Expecl
to Be More So.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-In spite of the di-
version of traffic to other gateways by
the alleged manipulation of rates, the
Chicago roads say that the movement of
grain by their lines is still heavy enough
to keep them busy. Traffic managers
who are usually accurate in their judy
ment when it comes to sizing up the sit
uation, estimate that about 80 per cent
of last falls crop has now left the farms
and elevators of the West and been car
ried to its destination. There is no
danger OF any more bloekades of
freight, although some of the Eastern
roads are more or less embarrassed by
lack of sufficient equipment to promptly
handle all the business offered them.
With 20 per cent of last years crop still
in the West, the traffic managers conf
IDENTITY assert that business will continue
good throughout the summer, and that
the lake and rail lines cannot take
enough of it TO seriously interfere with
the movement by the all-rail routes.

THOSE who criticise the use of the

not the choice of the estimable women
