Among the vicious legislation pro-
posed by some of our statesmen at
Pierre is that incorporated in house
bill No. Sc which contemplates making
the face value of a fire insurance policy.
the measure of damage in the event of
a total loss, although the value of the
building at the time of a fire might be
found to be considerably less than the
insurance. While the STAR belives
that the fire insurance business should
be regulated by wholesome legislation;
that possibly some reforms are neces-
xary in the insurance laws of this state,
It believes that the insurance COM
panies, as we'll as the assured, should
be protected against dishonesty and
rascality. Such legislation as this pro-
posed has u tendency to drive all
responsible insurance companies from
the state and leave the public to the
mercy of a few wild cat companies
without backing and without standing.
exacting exorbitant premiums when
the field is left to them, and rarely
paying a loss. It violates the essential
principles of insurance. and it tenden-
cy is to promote dishonesty and crime,
the burden of which the public has to
endure. We trust our legislators will
see the injustice of this measure, and
make every effort to defeat it, and all
similar legislation.

The state will Come out All Right.

A recent telegram to the Omaha Bee
from Pierre, says: The state finances
are Strengthening out comfortably. The
officials already see their way clear to
pay all obligations and to maintain, if
desirable, all the state institutions. po-
%litical. penal, charitable and educa-
tiona!. in good runningorder Whether
for effect on legislation Or from patri-
otto motives, the railroads have come
to the rescu of the state in q most
gratifying manne The railroads pay
about 8 per cent of the total tax for
state purposes, or Il total of $4,000.
These taxes are not due until March,
but recognizing that the state is some
what hard pressed for money OH ac-
count ofthe great defalcation, the roads
have voluntarily offered to paya at once.
The total tax paid by them in the
state for all purposes is about s250,O00.
OF this the Milwaukee pays IL tritie
short of 100000 and the Northwestern
bout lly same. The state manager
Of tho Milwaukee has just arrived here
and has notified the officials that the
road would honor the drafts of the
county t%reasurers as 500 as presented.
The Northwestern has also wired
that it has already began to pay it's
taxes due two months hence, and that
as fast as it's commissioners can travel
through the state all will be paid. This
will put into the state treasury within
the next month at least $4,000.
1t is already certain that the state
will have from this time out all the
money it needs. A. Riegel of Huron,
representing the Brown-Richards COM
pany, is here, and offers to take $780,
600 of the state warrants at par for
whatever time the state may designate.
Offers by mail and wire from many
sources have come in during the past
few days, and the state treasurer will
have no difficulty whatever in floating
all the warrants he needs to tide
matters over until the new tax can be
levied in August. The idea that the
state is bankrupt is absurd when it is
known that the public debt is only
S1,OGO,OO0, while the assessed valuation
is S12S, 100000.

It transpires that the constitution
If South Dakota absolutely prohibits
the state from releasing any liability
to it. This will put an end to the eff
forts of the defaulting treasurer's
bondsmen to secure a compromise set
Element, by which they might escape a
part of their obligations on that instru-
ment. But it will only make way for a
long fight in the courts. and if the
state finally RECEIVERS it will be after the
urgent need for the money shall have
been passed.

The speech of Senator Thurston to
the legislature of Nebraska is Il SPLEEN
did contribution to the political litera-
ture of the times. The new senator is
for protection on the lines of the Nc
Kinley law, for reciprocity as outlined
by Blaine; for bimetalism under which
he fayors the coinage of American sill
yer ON tho ratio of 16 to 1; and against
the retirement or funding of green
backs; for the redemption of thepublic
debt in coin either of gold or silver at
the option of the government. These
are sound opinions and can be carried
out in legislation only by the republi-
can party.

efforts and commends the zeal they

of believing that they cannot become

having disregarded an injunction restrain
ing him from violating the dispensary
law, State Constable Speed was deputized
to arrest him Immediately,
Speed found Sheppard In his place OF
business and told him he had a warrant
for bis arrest. Sheppard said he did not
intend TO submit 10 arrest. Speed replied
he would carry out his orders. Sheppard
then drew a pair of pistols and commenced
firing at Speed, who did not reply at once,
as he had some dinicultA'n drawing his
weapon. One bullet graW Speeds throat,
barely bringing blood, and another grazed
his hand before he drew his pistol. Shep.
hard had Jumped behind a counter pro
tected by heavy lattice work, and kept up
his firing.
Two passing %constables heard the shoot
ing and rushed to the door. One of them
commenced firing, also adding to Speeds
danger, he being between the two fires.
Speed kept perfectly cool, firing each time
he saw Sheppard. One bullet grazed Shep-
hard's face, and another, having passed
through his right leg, brought him to the
floor. Sheppard was then placed In
wagon and taken to the penitentiary. Two
pistols and a razor were found on him
His wound is not dangerous.
