ABOUT GROUND HOGS AND
EDITORS.

The ground h0g-or is it the bear?-
me\out of his alternating slumbers
yesterday, and, failing to find his shad-
ow attending him, moodily went back to
his hole, or his lair, and resumed his nap
with calm confidence that no prema-
ture warming of the weather would
soon disturb him. This Intimate relation
has existed between the ground hog or
the bear, or both, and the master mechan-
ic of the weather department for time
when the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary, and is fraught with seri-
Gus consequences. If the ground hog
Or the bear-finds his shadow dancing
attendance on him on the glinting snow
carpet On which he frisklly shakes the
stiffness out of his legs, the weather
dispatcher forthwith arranges the run
ming card of March to have that train
run on to the May station, sidetracking
April. If the shadow is not there. then
the running time of these trains is re-
versed, side-tracking March and giving
April its right of way.
This would be all plain sailing-no,
running-if there were but one ground
hog or bear and one shadow to LOOK
after; but in the rather extensive range
of territory occupied by ground hogs
and bears it is very apt to occur that
ground hog in one place may see his
shadow, and other ground hogs in other
places may not see theirs. This neces-
sariIy leads to complications which must
he confusing to the weather dispatcher
and very liable to result i'll mistakes.
Doubtless it is because OF these intrica-
cies that it occasionally happens that
April, running serenely along on the
March schedule, unsuspiciouS of dan
ger, gets tail-end teleScoping by some
March blizzard hustling along to reach
its station on time. 1t is just such an
event as this that brings discontinue
and wrath to the talented editor who,
basking in the April sun, has lust turned
i'll glowing leader On 1.-The Advantages
of Our Climate" rhapsodiZing on its
early and balmy springs, their gentle,
dallyiDg breeZeS. their bright promise
OF birds and their songs and Of flowers
and their perfumes. And ne comes out
of the collision much-bruised, but a
far more prudent man, and henceforth
eschews all temptations to write OH
spring until the birds and flowers are
really here. Thus in this queer world
OF ours, with its remotely operating re-
Iations of cause and effect, do the lnsen-
safe ground hog and the talented editor
ind their point of contact.
Note; This is alphabetically inscribed to
the editorial writer on the Pioneer Press who
turned i'll that i'll fated leader year ago on
Spring, without previous arrangement with
the ground hog.

HOME RIFLE.

The legislature is wrestling with the
problem of proyi ling a general law for
the government of the cities of the state.
The amendment of the constitution was
adopted to stay the evil of special leg
islation in the charterng of cities as
much as in other matters. There should
be no cOuntenaDce given to any attempt
to eyade the amendment by providing a
classification Of cities which will enable
a special charter to be given to any one
which will stand alone in its class. Our
cities are all growing, AMI they will
thus be passing from one to another
code of laws. This must create con-
fusion.
The public mind has become so in
doctrinated with the idea that the legis
lature Is the seat of all power, in whose
gracious permission must be found the
authority for not only every action of
the municipalities, out even their exist
ence, that it will seem revolutionary to
suggest that the proper building Of the
state makes the people the seat OF SUI
preme power andthe state but an entity,
with only such powers as the people
have delegated to it for the regulation
of those matters which concern all t he
people of the state. Instead of the con-
Stitution of a state being as HOW, mainly
a limiting instrument preventing the
inroads of the legislature on tie peo-
nle'S rights, it should be an instrument
containing delegated powers only, pre-
Scribing the range Of action of that
body. The provision of the federal
constitution that all powers not dele
gated to the United States by the con-
stitution, nor prohibited by it to the
states. are reserved to the states re-
spectively, or to the people, might be
adapted to the state, thus insuring to
the people home rule in all their affairs.
In the absence Of such a pr ovision,
and under the present conditions, it is
possible for the legislature to simplify
its problem by general law providing
mainly limitations on municipal 20 W.
ers, but granting to each city plenary
power to act as it wished in all matters
within those limits. 1t might. by pro-
viding plan OF referendum and
initiation, leave to the cities the
formulation and adoption and amend
ment of their own charters within
the restrictions. We complain now
that citizens take so little interest
in the affairs of the city. Is it to be
wondered at when the state relieves
them of all responsibility and insists
that they shall depend on it? We edu-
cate them to look to the state, and then
scoId them that they do not look out for
themselves. Would it not be just as
well now to retrace our steps and give
the people OF the cities chance at home
ruic?

LaMAR,s SUCCESSOR.

President HARRISON yesterday sur
prised both his own party and the Dem
ocraic by appointing Southern DEM
ocrat to succeed LAMAR on the United
States supreme bench. The appointee,
HOWELL EDMUND JACKSON, is one of
the circuit judges Of Tennessee. Thus
the president has performed two noble
deeds in one act-done justice to his
opposing party and the South, and fol-
lowed the spirit of civil service. 1t is
vastly more than the Democratic party
felt it could expect of Mr.. HARRIS ON.
and will serve to heal the rancor of
political strife. But of much more inl-
portance than all this, the act is an IN
dication of what a president is most
likely to do when nothing is to be
gained to himself by making party re-
wards, and in this regard is strong
argument in favor of the one-term plan.
Mr. HARRISON has little reason to eX-
pect to be president again, and the nat
ural inclination under such circum-
stances. it is fair to presume, was to
crown his last acts with justice. He
has set a good example. and taken a
step in the direction of the people tend
ing to break the power of the politician.

CHANCE FOR a DEMOCRAT.

There is pretty COOL chance for the
election of a Democrat to the United
States senate from North Dakota. A
few days ago JOHN ID. BENTON, the
widely known and able lawyer Of Fargo,
came within two votes of being elected,
and it is thought possible he may be
elected on the expected breakup of to-
day. The Democrats Of North Dakota
could not do better than to elect Col.
BENTON. He is an able and clean man,
and would be credit to the state. 1t is
hoped the De mocratS will be wise
enough to stand together on one man,
and the one who seems to unite them
best is Col. BENTON. 1t is simply sui
cidal for the party to expect to accom-
pliSh anything by splitting. The pros
pect seems fair that if every member of
lhe legislature who seeks the best inter
eStS of the state votes for BENTON he
will be the next United States senator.

Edgerton Enterprise.
The joint reapportionment committee
are billed for pretty lively time when
they come to redistrlct the state for leg
islative purposes. The north and west
portions of the state are demandin 9
more representation on account OF their
Increased population. Their repre-
SenIativeS clai III that while their part
of the state has been increasing III num-
berS, other portions, i'll the south and
southeast, have been decreasing in
numbers. and should he cut down in
their representation. Members from
the latter say they will not submit
to any reduction. The committee says
the state representation cannot be in
creased for two reasons. One is that it
will increase the cost Of each session
ana is unnecesSary-an that the
present capitol building will not seat
any greater number than it now con-
tainS. 1t is conceded upon all hands,
however. that a reapportonment should
be made. AT the present time there are
several members holding down seats in
the Legislature who, if the letter of the
state constitution we've lived up to, are
not entitled to sit as such. When the
last reapportiOnment was made, i'll 1889,
it was done in very slipShod manner.
The constitution plainly says that:
"Territory, for legislative purposes,
must lie contiguous" Now there are
several of the present districts the diff
ferent portions of which do not lie
within four or five miles of each
other. OF course, they are not legally
constituted. but the members from
those districts have been allowed to sit
as such, although many of the other
members knew the facts in regard to
the districts they represented. This
would have been remedied two years
ago, but to do so meant that the senators
from those districts must be legislated
out of Office. and the latter were too
hard to get hold OF to be thrown away
in that manner. AS such measure
could never be passed III the senate the
whole thing was abandoned and left for
the next legislature to deal with, when
the terms of the senators would all eX-
pire and that barrier be removed. But
now the reasons cited seem to rise up
and bar the progress of any plrn SO far
proposed for a reappOrtionment. ~

Sudden Shut Down by the Har-

Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, S. d., Feb. 2.-Reports
received here today from Hill City are
to the effect that the Harvey Peak Tin
company has closed down its mines and
suspended operations at the new mill.
About one hundred men are thus thrown
out of employment without any intima-
ton as to when their services will be
again required. This action, coming so
closely after the successful test runs,
occasions great surprise and disap-
pOntment in this region. There
is no question as to the
success of the new mill or any available
quantity of ore for working. Various
reasons are assigned for the shutting
down. Some believe that the company
is preparing again to buy in claims.
Others think that no mere tin will be
produced until the duty of four cents
per pound goes into effect on July
next, and still others assign Disagree
ment among the directors as the cause.
Absolutely nothing definite can be
learned, but circumstances point to the
early resumption OF operations. The

MOE LAW GAINING.

The statistics of homicine show the
startling fact that mob and lynch law
is in the ascendency. There were 235
people killed by mobS during 1892, an
increase of Al over the year preceding.
OF the number 231 were men. women;
so were white, and 155 negroes.
1t is difficult to determine how best to
check the mob tendency. 1t is most
dangerous thing to permit to thrive.
The participants generally act upon ex-
element, and run great risks of taking
the lives of Innocent people. More than
that, while they may have only in mind
a determination to mete out summary
justice, they are guilty of rebelling
against the laws of the land. They
practically say that the ends of JUS
tice are safer i'll the hands OF
anarchy than the laws. There is
another and still more dangerous
feature to such perform ances. In a
community composed of people disposed
to mete out summary justice there is
spirit which is aroused at word; like
dropping match i'll a powder keg,
some one sounds the alarm Of murder
and the mob is organized. 1t has hap
pened many times in the past twenty
years that innocent men have lost their
lives at tue hands of mobS which were
stirred I'D by some villain. The spirit
of mobocracy. from its very nature. is
something which grows if it is not
Immediately stamped out by a stern
enforcement of the law. There is but
one proper way to deal with every case,
and that is to arrest the participants and
punish them to the FULL extent of the
law. Sheriffs should be clothed with
sufficient authority to shoot to kill in
every case where mobs seek to wrest
prisoners from their custody. 1t IS high
time that mob law was stamped out for
ever in this enlight ened land.
