Had the Women a voteo

The question as to whether or not
the women were entitled to vote at
the last school election under the law
passed by the recent legislature will
probably be settled in the supreme
court. Ex-senator A. Z. Kittredge,
of Sioux Falls and Speaker Lawson,
of Aberdeen, have expressed the con-
viction that women were not entitled
to vote. j. w. Jones, the attorney
for the school board at Sioux Falls,
and the city attorney, have both sub
mitted opinions that the women we're
entitled to vote. As a matter Of fact
they did vote in Sioux Fall, at Pierre
and other places, but not at Aber-
deem. Under the new law the board
is an entirely independent body, with
power to make the tax levy and to call
elections for a vote upon the issue Of
school bonds. The city council has
no longer the veto power ovei the
acts of the board. The legality, there
fore. of the board is likely to become
at any time a very important ques-
tion, and all concerned are likely to
have it settled now, and right. AT
the last meeting Of the retiring board
at Sioux Falls, Judge John Z. Garland
was present as legal adviser, and ex-
pressed the opinion that the women
had a right to vote, and that the new
Nv elected board was qualified to sit.

Rank of wilmot Assigns.

The assignment of the Bank of
Wilmot under the date of April 81,
has been precipated by the failure of
the Bank Of MilbaEk, VIM. NJ.
sarpent, of Minneapolis, being presi-
don't of the bank. The bank of Will
mot was perfectly solvent, but in
order 70 protect its creditors and to
avoid other complications, w. j
Sheer. the cashier, deemed it best to
make an assignment. Depositors
will be paid in full, IS per cent Of
their deposits being now in available
cash. Mr.. Speer said that his friends
in Aberdeen, after seeing the con-
dition of his bank, urged him not to
make the assignment, as they were
ready to make the necessary advance
to pay depositors in full, but, owing
"a the Bank of Milbank assigning
and the relation of the two banks
being so intimate, the assignment
was necessary. The liabilities to
depositors, there being no other
creditors, is Sl9, 900; available cash
$4,000; paper, s24, zoo; balance on
liabilities. $40, 600. j. A. Munro, of
Wilmot, is the assignee.

x DECISIONS.
The North Dakota Supreme Court Hands
Down Important Decisions.


Three decisions have been handed
down in the supreme court at Bis
marck. The state ex rel. Diebold
Safe Il Lock Company VS.. Auditor of
Eddy County was an action to compel
the county auditor of Eddy county to
issue a warrant in favor of the plain
tiff for certain Jail work performed
under a contract with the county
commissioners. The board in open
session had approved the account aud
ordered il paid, but the auditor re-
fused to draw the warrant on the
ground that the expenditure was be-
yond the power Of the board of COM
missiOners, under a section which re-
CURED all expenditures greater than
the revenues for a single year to be
submitted to a vote Of the people.
Mandamas was brought to compel the
drawing Of the warrant and the writ
denied in the lower court. Affirmed.
Edwards & McCulloch Lumber Com
pany VS.. Baker came up from Rich
land county and the appeal is dis
missed, the court holding that after a
trial Judge has decided and announced
what shall be embodied in a bill of ex-
ceptions it is not his duty to engross
the bill in accordance with his decis-
ion. and he cannot be said to have neg
lected to settle such bill unless he
neglects to sign the bill after 1T is
presented to him for signature, en-
crossed as settled by him.
w. N. Coler & Co. VS.. Dwight
school township, of Richland county,
was an action to compel the payment
of certain interest coupons. The
Judgment of the district court is
affirmed on the ground that the dis
trict was a defacto municipal cor
poration and the defense could not
be interposed that the bonds were
void on the ground that the district
had no legal existence because OF
failure to comply with provisions OF
the statute regulating the organiza-
tion of the district in a matter which
went, to the jurisdiction or the
county superintendent in organizing
tbe same. Municipal corporations
are estopped, as against bona hoe
holders of municipal bonds, from SET
ting up as a defense to an action
thereon that all the preliminary
stems necessary to authorize n issue
% the bonds were not taken, when
the officers who have charge OF the
issue of such bonds are expressly OF
implicitly authorized to determine
whether all the conditions precedent
n the issue of valid bonds have been
complied with, and recite IN the
bonds so issued that they nave oeeh
60 complied with. It's not necessary
90 oSton the corporation that TINS
stotoment should set forth in detail
that all the preliminary steps nave
heen taken. 1t is sufficient that IL

Silver Bill will be repealed immcdl-
ately upon its assemblage. Tie
House is said to be already CON-
mitted, individually, to the repeal,
and by the iudicious use of patron
age the administration hopes to keep
it so but the probable action OF the
Senate is not So clear. Through
Senator Voorhees, The President
hopes to control the Senate Finance
Committee, and, possibly. he may
succeed but experience has shown
that Voorhees, is very weak rec q
in financial affairs. He is taking all
the offices he can get tor his friends,
and ought, in common gratitude,
vote for the repeal of the law; but his
record on the money question fully
warrants the fear that he will diSap
point Mr.. Cleveland after he has
squeezed him all he can.

REFORM THE PRIMARIES.

oui e"'ee4iieNt Q!S.Ii tJOfdrY the
Perryvllle~'R cc01a under the above
captleH, strikes the key note OF a
needed political reform in Maryland
in the following timely language:
Nowhere in the whole field ofpolitics is reform
alton more sadly needed than in the laws or
customs governing our primary elections. The
disgraceiui and humiliating scenes OF bribery
and corruption practiced at these elections last
Saturday must have IispeIed all doubts, If any
ever any existed, as To the urgent necessity for
immediate actsn in the matter. The sckening
spectacle of debaSed manhood presented by those
who had just openly sold their votes to the
highest bidder being led up to the polls like Sc
many dumb, driven cattle, there to sheeIi hly
and shameiacedly deposit the ticket handed them
the very last minute with the evident fear lest
otherwise they would cheat in the delivery OF the
ballot they had bartered away, was enough to dis
gust every honest and respectable man and make
him ashamed Of his disgraced party. The laws
concerning bribery and corruption should be last
as stringentand as rgidIy enforced at the primar,
les as at the general election 1t may he said that
it is impossible to accomplish this but We do not
believe such TO be the case. LegaIisc the Primar-
les, make both the purchase and sale OF votes a
penitentiary offence, and then insert in the law
a clause exemptng from the penalty the frs,
guilty parties who will inform on the other ami
we think the question is solved,
While on the subject of reform we would further
say that the people should have the privilege Of
selecting their own candidates, and not be Obliged
to accept only those the machine or aspirants
themselves may see tit to force upon them
1t is not, or rather should not be question, as
to who may desire to be public servants, but as
to whom the public wants for servants, and 1t is
nota matter as to how great pull the aspirant
may have with the machine or with powers
that be, but as to how much sterling honesty OF
purpose and opinion and ability u execute the
same he may possess.
