today that nullify important pro-
visions on which attorneys and
litigants are placing reliance, but
which have been rendered certain
ly Questionable and perhaps null
by consequent legislation that
was not intended for any such
purpose. Of course it is the de-
sire of every member to avoid any
such thing; but no member, with
so much of his time taken up by
the several committees of which
he may be a member, has the
opportunity for as close an ex-
animation of measures as would
enable him to detect unexpected
conflicts.
If clerkships on judiciary COM
mittees were less a matter of
political favoritism, and more a
matter of legal ability, and if the
judiciary clerks we're chosen with
reference to their knowledge Of
the law rather than merely as
scribes or arnanuense of the COM
mittees, they might be of great
assistance in detecting conflicts,
but even then such clerks would
hardly be called to pass upon the
legal effects of measures referred
to other committees. A distinct
committee, burdeued wi h no
other committee work than that
of examining every measure just
before it passes to the order of
third reading and final passage,
would afford the most effective
method of relieving new statutes
from effects which nobody had
suspected when they we're en-
acted.

years ago.

One of the prolific source of
litigation in this state affecting
almost every county is the manner
in which our laws are enacted.
The most important measures
that come before the legislature
are disposed of and enacted into
laws without the necessary scru-
tiny and attention which their
importance demands, and sweep
ing clause invariably added re-
pealing all laws in conflict with
this one without for moment
considering what laws may be
affected thereby, and rendering it
impossible for even oyr courts to
determine whether certain pro-
visions are, or are not, in conflict
with each other. On this subject
the Sioux Falls Press says:
The plan proposed by the Press
is that there should be a joint
committee Of three---one from the
senate and two from the house
the members of which should be
relieved from service on any other
committees, and whose sole duty
it should be to examine every bill
merely with reference to its effect
upon existing laws---effects which
may have been overlooked by the
member introducing the bill, and
which possibly might be over
looked by both houses---as in case
of this bastardy law. The best
legal talent in either house should
be represented upon this commit
tee, and such an inspection of
measures as it could give would
go far toward preventing the en-
actment of laws which prove to be
tremendously more faT-reaching
than anybody had intended. It
would perhaps be impossible for
any such committee to guard en-
tirely ard absolutely against u11-
expected conflicts, but it could
relieye the statutes from many of
the puzzles which aff1ict them.
There are statutes on. the books

New York for couple of weeks, and
even in that center of gold bugs and
bloated bond-holders found the leaven
working in favor of both metals. New
York has felt the pinch of the hard
times, and her moneyed men are begin
ming to hunt about for remedy, Sew
eral of them confessed to me that they
believed it lay in the liberation of
silver. The time is coming when we
will see the big financial centers the
most earnest advocates of bimetal-
lism."
There is very little doubt that con-
gress will early in the coming session
pass a bill prescribing the duties OF
the comptroller OF the treasury and
confining them to common sense ideas
of what they ought to be. 1t will not
be surprising if this action should be
specifically asked for by the secretary
of the treasury. The authority as
sumed by the comptroller in the sugar
bounty cases is by no means the only
instance. There is little matter now
on hand that may result in Secretary
Carlisle asking the president to re-
move Comptroller Bowler. 1t has
grown out of the payment, or rather
the failure to pay, the salary OF Ex-
senator Ransom as minister to Mexico
from the date of his last appointment
to the position-it will be remem bered
that his first appointment and confir-
nation by the senate we're declared IL
legal. Just before Comptroller Bowler
left for his vacation he decided that
Mr.. Ransom could not draw his salary
until his last appointment has been
confirmed by the senate. After Bowler
had gone Secretary Carlisle overruled
that decision and directed that a check
be forwarded to Minister Ransom.
The deputy comptroller didn't do a
thing but refuse to send that check
without Bowler's order to do so.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, Sept. q, 1895.
An interesting bit of political gossip
floated into Washington this week. 1t
came direct from New York, and re-
lated to a conference participated in by
Ex-gov. Foraker of Ohio, Senator Quay
of Pa, Ex-senator Platt of N. Y, Gen,
Clarkson OF Iowa, Senator Elkins of w.
Va, Mr.. Joe Manley of Maine, and Mr.,
Garrett H. Hobart of N. J. With the
exceptions of Elkins, who had been
supposed to favor Ex-president Harri-
son, and Clarkson, who has talked
Allison, those taking part in the con-
ference were all Reed or Mckinley
men. AS the story is told in Wash
ington, the primary reason for holding
this conference was to make a combi-
nation against Ex-president Harrison
which will make his nomination i'm
possible whatever may happen, and it
is said that those who participated are
satisfied that that has been done. An
other object was deal between the
supporters of Reed and Mckinley
which would make it certain that one
or the other of them would capture the
nomination. That was not so success
full, but those who originated it have
not abandoned hope of bringing it
about.
1t begins to look as though the ad-
ministration might be compelled by
public opinion to show its intentions
toward Cuba before congress meets.
The question is being constantly agi-
tated, and very large majority of
those who express opinions publicly
are strongly in sympathy with the
Cubans, and think the time has come
for this government to extend its
moral, if not its material support, to
the men who are struggling for free
dom. Washingtonians are as rule
inclined to be trimmers on most i'm
portant questions, but they ure actual
ly talking of holding big mass meet
ing to pass resolutions in favor of free
Cuba.
The difficulty of ascertaining public
sentiment by getting the views OF
prominent individuals is demonstrated
by the views expressed here this week
by two prominent members of the re-
publican party concerning the presi.
dental boom of Senator Davis of MINI.
First came Senator Pettigrew of South
Dakota who said Davis prospects
brighten every hour. He will 60 into
the convention with Eve to eight states
solid" By the time the searcher after
trustworthy political information had
digested Mr.. Pettigrew's remarks
along comes Ex-senator Sabin OF Mimi,
who is also a ex-chairman of the re.
publican national committee, and pre-.
sumably posted on the sentiment of his
party. He said on the same subject,
"Cush Davis has the presidential bee
buzziug in his bonnet, and if he insists
upon it we may have TO do something
towards getting MIN consideration at
the national convention next year
Not that he will get first place on the
ticket, but q combination might be
effected which would land him next to
the top of the ticket"
i Mr.. Byron E. Shear, q Colorado
capitalist, who has just returned from
g visit to New York has some very EN-.
phatic opinions on the silver question
He says; "Any man who thinks tha,
the sentiment for free silver is dying

The Forum has spoken out in
school. We have openly stated
that the populist party contains
worse blather sixties, deadbeats
and low politicians than can be
found in the ranks of the older
parties. The republican party
is not a clan of angels---far from
it---but so far as our experience
goes with the leaders of republi-
cans in this state, we have found
out their word is good. When

don't pay for it. OF these two
elements--which is the more hon
orable?
By this we do not mean that
the populist party is a party of
deadbeats, but what we do say is
that the combine who had control
of the campaign of the party are
not angels. They beat us out Of
a large printing bill and were
even so low they beat the state out
of paying the funeral expenses of
the party last year.
Now if the populists of South
Dakota approve of the Loucks--
Kidd style of populisnl---then the
Forum wishes to be classed as a
rip-roaring anti-popu1ist sheet.
In state politics itmatters little
about gold or silver, the tariff or
the policy of an administration in
regard to foreign question---it is
just down to a question of men.
And in state politics let us state
we will stand by such men as are
leaders of the republican party of
this state in preference to Loucks
kidd and the abellumistic"
warts who cry for reform and yet
stand by monopoly.

A LETTER FROM TAYLOR.
He Encloses Certified Deposit Checks for
$1,000.

PIERRE, s.. d., Jan. 10. - Deputy
Treasurer burlington today received a
letter from Taylor dated New York.
January q, and enclosing certified de-
post checks for 81 500 on various
banks. The auditor has made an
emergency call on all county treasurers
for all funds in their hands due the
state.
The Taylor defalcation has alb
sorbcd all interest here. IL
is learned hat the only state
money TO be found is SIS, 900 in lay
lor's bank at Redfeld and $40, 600 in "a
bank at Pierre. Everything else.
amounting to 1870. 600, has gone Word
has been received from the Chase Ma
tional bank at New York that the
$4,000 of funding warrants held there
are not paid and an answer is now
anxiously awaited from Albany, n. V,
where S120,000 is held. State
banks cannot be much affected
If the people keep their heads,
AS only two other banks will be
involved in the bonds. Morris & Labrie
of the Doland bank are caught, the
former for $50, 900 and the latter for
$4,000. i. w. Brooks and Frank
Beard, bankers of Aberdeen, are also
caught for S25, 200 each. Personal
friends OF Taylor in Sphinx county are
nunerously victimized. In addition to
those already mentioned are j.. o. Pow
ers, w. c. Kiser, jr. and ST., j. A. Kiser,
w. ID. Beebe, j. ). Myers. c. III. Vinton
and the estate of II. NJ. Howard, John
McChesncy and Ex-Governor Mellette
each justified for $50, 900 and William
Taylor, father of the treasurer, for
$40, 900. The total amount of iustitica-
ton is S345, 900, several thousand short
of the defalcation.
1t looks like a clean sweep of
the state funds, while the bank at Red

cember. closeted in n room, with locked

lawyer from indi.Ia.
Seven hundred and ninety-five thou.
sand dollars of funding warrants were
in New York for payment. They have
not been returned, although Auditor
Nipple has been expecting them for
some time, and it is thought the banks
of deposit have been renting to New
York for the payment of these war
rants. In addition to the amount nee
essary to pay these warrants the audit
or's report called for S5l 900 of cash in
current funds. There is also a large
amount of school funds that were soon
to be ap%portioned, making n possible
total shortage approximating $3.50, 600.

made have failed to locate W. w. Tay-
lor.

Taylor was not in the vicinity.

JUDGE KELLAM INDICTED
Another South Dakota Sensation
Sprung,
Judge Gafy Kept the Matter Oak n
Finally on tho Advice of District
Attorney Green dismissed
the Case.

PIERRE. =. d., Jan. 12.-Sensations
arc coming thick and fast. A new n
was sprung this morning which is of
much less interest than the Taylor
iffair, but still MS IL involves one OF the
nigh officials of the state has set the
legislature by the ears.
1t has just leaked ont that Judge
Kellam of the supreme court was in
iicted "A short time ago by the grand
jury of Brule county for his action rs
president of the dcfunct Brute
County State bank in receiving
funds for deposit after the bank was
known To be insolvent, II will DC re-
nembcred that this failed early in the
spring of 1893 and that when an cxami.
nation of its affairs was made 1T was
found that the president, then as now
I supreme Judge of the state, had Dor
owed about 81, 600 without rendering
security. The cashier was also in
1ebted to the bank for $40, 600 without
security. llis naino was Sherry und
he was identified with the
Stock Yards bank of Sioux City
which failed about the same time.
Judge Kellam was severely criticised
ut the time as il was known that the
bank had received deposits after 1t
was known to be insolvent. "A bitter
attack was made on him in the press
and ut the republican judicial conven-
ton, which met a few months after.
However he turned over considerable
property to offset his debt and received
n release from the receiver OF
the bank. lie was also
reuominated and reelected. The
matter passed out of notice for awhile.
The bank paid its local depositors in
full and merely let down a number of
eastern creditors. Last month however
the grand jury took up the ease and
when IL adjourned handed down in
iictments FOR Judge Kcllam aud for
Cashier Sherry and Assistant Cashier
Johnson. Judge Gaffy of Pierre was
On the bench, having exchanged with
Judge Haney. lie is a personal friend
VI Judge Kellam. He promptly took the
indictment against Kellam out from
tho general batch and studiously kept
the Information from the public. The
district attorney was called in. lie is
also a friend of Kellam. Judge Kel-
lam was also informed and went down
to Chamberlain. The district attor-
ney, Green, after a consultation signed
n statement that there was not suf-
ticicnt evidence to warran. a prosecu-
ton and on his motion Judge Gaffy
dismissed il.
Strenuous efforts have been made to
keep the matter quiet. The fatcs of
the case are that Judge Kellam, while
president of tho bank, was not in ac-
tive control of it and that he person
ally paid little attention to its rou-
tine business. The actual
ayers are guilty of the charge and
it still holds against them. 1t
is the opinion of those who are
familiar with the ease that Kcllain is
guilty of negligence only in not keep
ing careful watch of his subordinates,
but is not open TO the charge of dis
honesty. Still the secrecy with which
the whole matter has been managed
and the activity of the judges friends
are severely commented on.
