Gently adopted policy towards America
the German government MAY take some
action hostile to our cotton interests.
In report to the state department.
coming by the roundabout way of
Vienna, United States Consul Max

ment has recently sent commission to
study the cultivation and manufacture
of cotton in the United Stats. It is to
inquire into:
First-Methods of cultivation and
implements used therefor.
Second-Improvements in machinery
for preparing cotton for the market.
Third-Difference of conditions and
cost of production Of cotton before and
after the war.
Fourth-The quality of cotton before
and after the war.
Fifth-The success of the cotton seed
oil industry and the cost of production
of cotton and the advantages possessed
by the United States oven England
and Germany in the manufacture OF
cotton.
The prime object in view, according
to the official report, is to determine
whether the cotton produced in the
United States meets the needs of the
German manufacturer, or whether il
would be better to buy all or part OF
the raw cotton used in Germany else.

LAW COMES TOO HIGH.
Memorial Movement in South Dakota to G.
Dom County Aff0ruex,s Salaries.

General Movement in south Dakota to Cut
Down County Attorneys Salaries.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Dec. S.-The
taxpayers of the various South Dakota
counties are practically demanding with
one voice that the salaries of the states
attorneys in many of the counties shall
be reduced. The popular feeling seems
to be that many of these officials are
paid too much for the small amount of
work which they have to do, and &C
cordingly the taxpayers are insisting
that there be q general reduction of
salaries. Many Of the county boards
have already taken action. In Douglas
county the commissioners met in spe-
cial session recently and reduced the
salary Of the county attorney from 5000
to $500. The Aurora county board has
also reduced the salary of the attorney
there from $500 to $500. The new sal
aries fixed by these boards will, of
course, take effect Jan. l, as the sal
airy of an official cannot be reduced
during his incumbency of the office.
The taxpayers Of Sanborn county are
demanding that their county board OF
commissioners meet no later than Dec.
81 to reduce the salary of the states
attorney to $400 per year.
The demand for retrenchment and
reform with regard to the salaries paid
these officials is too general to be ig-
nored, and it is probable that the county
boards of many other counties will take
similar action previous to the begin
ming of the new year.

KILLING OF GAME.

Warden Andrus of Minnesota Suggests
Some Changes in the Laws.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 6.-W. P. Andrus, the
executive agent of the state game and
fish commission, proposes several
amendments to the present state law.
One is to change the open season for
deer so it will begin on Nov. 10 and
close on Dec. l. Another amendment
is to prohibit the spring shooting of
ducks. In regard to fishing, he favors
extending the winter season to Feb. l,
providing it be done in legal manner
Mr.. Andrus has been looking into
the charges that there has been an
unusual slaughter Of deer this season.
From reports received he is of the
opinion that not more than 5000 deer
have been killed and shipped. This
will not include the number killed in
the lumber camps. Five years ago,
before the commission was organized,
it is estimated that 1900 deer were
slaughtered each season. This mum.
Der has been gradually reduced. While
there is no apparent diminution in the
number Of deer in the woods, he is of
the opinion that it would be good
plan to prohibit the killing of deer On.

BRANDED A TRAITOR.

One Of Their Fellows.

Indignant Students Vent Their Anger On
One Of Their Follows.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-Disloyalty
to the University Of California, which
he has until recently been an under.
graduate of. was the reason given for
hazing Of Claude G. Campbell. son Of q
Methodist minister at Los Angeles, by
his fellow students. Campbell's effense
consisted in wearing the Stanford
colors and jeering at the University Of
California because of it's defeat by
Stanford in the foot ball match on
Thanksgiving day. He is also accused
of giving inside information of the con-
dition and tactics Of his university team
to the opposing players. Campbell
was caught after midnight, seized and
blindfolded. With a dull razor the
students shaved one side his head
and cut off his eyebrows and
lashes. His head was daubed with red
ink, Stanford's colors having been
worked into his surviving locks with
mucilage. On one cheek was red ''S"
for Stanford. On the other was ct"
for traitor. Campbell is a slender
cripple, and explains that he was a
former Stanford student, intending to
return to that university in January.
The faculty will consider the case on
its merits.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Within the

called upon to pay $2,OOO,O 900 of Pacific
railroad bonds. It will be the first pay
ment made by the government of these
bonds issued years ago, to subsidize the
building of railroads across the CONT

these terms are about to mature. The
81, 100000 next month will be fol-
lowed by another $2,OOO,OO0 next No
vember. The railroads are primarily
responsible for the payment of the
bonds, but, as they were issued and
guaranteed by the government, con-
gress has anticipated, by it's effort to
fund or extend the debt, that the gov
eminent would have to meet the ma
turing bonds.

Matured to Steal 1t.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The silver statue
of the actress Ada Rehan is under the
guard Of half dozen detectives, as the

steal the valuable image. The statue
has been on exhibition at the retail,
store of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., and
recently man representing himself as
an employe Of the Montana Statue com
pany, owners of the statue, called at

ing hours the man presented
to the night Waterman an order
signed by the Montana company, say
ing that General Manager Higbee, of
the company, was dead, and asking
that the statue be delivered to the
bearer. The Waterman refused to
honor the order, despite the mans pro-

planned conspiracy has been laid to
steal the statue, and, after melting it

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Advantages of . Firm Bnt just Foreig,
Policy Set Forth.

Advantages of Firm Bnt just Foreign
Policy Set Forth.
The history of our recent dealings with
other nations, and our peaceful relations
with them at this time additionally dem
onstrats the advantage of consistently adj
herring to firm but just foreign policy,
free from enviOus or ambitious national
schemes, and characterized by entire hon.
esty and sincerity.
The president then details our dealings
with Brazil Chilli, France, Portugal,
Germany, touching upon the Behring sea
award, and recommending the appropria-
ton Of a sufficient sum to carry out it's
provisions. The new government of Ha-
wall has been recognized. A new extradi-
ton treaty with Italy is needed, but efforts
in that direction have so far been unavail-
ing.
Apart from the war in which the island
empire is engaged Japan attracts increas-
ing attention in this country by her evil
dent desire to cultivate more liberal inter-
course with u> and to seek our kindly aid
in furtherance of her laudable desire for
complete autonomy in her domestic affairs
and full equality in the family of nations.
The Japanese empire of today is no longer
the Japan OF the past aud our relations
with this progressive nation should not be
less broad and liberal than with other
powers.
Onr Southern Neighbors.
Good will fostered by many interests in
common has marked our relations with
our nearest Southern neighbors
The uprising in Bluefelds at one time
promised serious results, but was satisfac-
torily settled
Modus vivendi With Russia.
The recent death of the car of Russia
called forth appropriate expressions of
sorrow and sympathy ON the part of our
government with his bereaved family and
the Russian people.
As further demonstration of respect
and friendship our minister at st. PEERS
burg was directed to represent our gov
eminent at the funeral ceremonies.
The sealing interests of Russia in Behr-
ing sea are second only to our own. A
modus vivendI has therefore been con-
cluded with the imperial government re-
strictive of poaching on the Russian rock
cries and of sealing in waters which were
not comprshended in the protected area
defined in the Paris award.
The Samoan islands, over which Ger.
many, England and America have tri-
partite protsctorate, have been the scene
of considerable disturbances. The tri-
partite agreement is not altogether salts
factory, and congress is asked to express
its judgment as to the propriety of steps
being taken by this government. looking
to the withdrawal from it's engagements
with the other powers on some reasonable
terms not prejudicial to any of our exist
ing rights.
