THE DEMOCRATIC TIE.
1t Was Lost I'm the Senate When Mr..
Clark Was Sworn In.

The democrats lost their tie in the Senate
today. The loss Of the tie is due largely
to the fact that an odd number cannot be
split evenly, and therefore the rules Of
mathematics would prevent any political
body from having tie In an organization
composed o. eighty-seven members. This
total Of the Senate membership was reach
ed today by the advent OF Senator Clark
of Wyoming, elected to fill a vacancy
which began to exist two years ago next
March. To this vacancy Mr.. Beckwith was
appointed by the governor of Wyoming
after the legislature had adjourned with
out breaking the deadlock, but Mr.. Beck
with was not allowed to take his seat be-
cause it was decided that such appoint
ments Were illegal
Mr. Clark's arrival gives the republicans
80 votes, while the democrats have - and
the populists 8. Thus the democrats are
now one short of majority, although
they are in the plurality. The coming OF
Mr. Clark, therefore, does not change the
position of the democrats in regard TO tho
majority, that the condition of affairs
that has existed since the arrival of Mr..
Mantle a few days ago is unchanged in
this respect, but he strengthens the repub-
liCan side and makes their ranks stronger
with reference to such questions as the
Hawaiian matter. In respect to this case,
it is now ascertained that Senator Hill will
act with the republicans to reconsider the
vote by which the Vest amendment TO the
Hawaiian resolution, expressing confidence
in the administration and commencing its
policy, was adopted. So that even if Mr..
Pettigrew should persist in voting with the
democrats on this question, despite the
numerous and vigorous protests that lie
has since been receiving from his consrit-
uents, the republicans have the votes to
overturn the action of the Senate few
days ago. Just when this resolution Will
be brought up again is not known, but II
may be that the republicans will wait Until
Senator Wilson of Washington reaches the
city. He will probably not reach here for a
week vet, as he has the longest distance
to travel to reach the Capitol of any man in
the Senate.

THE KIMBALL GRAPHIC
CLATE R. TINAN.
Official Pauer Of the City OF kimbaII

The average county commissioner
gathers less glory than a yellow dog
baying at moon Of green cheese. The
commissioners in this county are no
exception; it's clear case Of damned II
you do and damned if you don't-and
we don't know Of anyone that has prod
ded them worse than the GRAPHIC, by
the way. Nevertheless they get it in the
neck unjustly sometimes, and this paper
which is not an official organ and un-
der no obligation in any waY-l,as not
feared to express itself to the contrary
whenever the opportunity came. If the
GRAPHIC practices one thing more than
another, it is in giving the devil his
due. The subject is brought to mind by
criticisms Of late upon the amount Of
money the commissioners are allowing
themselves over and above that provided
bY the statutes. The GRAPHIC has but
little patience with general public
which will shut Its eyes to the open
bung and use up good newspaper space
in screwing up the spigot. 1t should be
clear to the most obtuse that the tens Of
thousands Of dollars that Brule county
has expended in obtaining artesian
wells has, the most of it, been without
the least shadow Of law. The work has
more than thIibbied the labors of the
commissioners for several years back
and has been pushed foreward not
through any special desire of the com
missioners, but by an overwhelming
public sentiment. 1t has been irrigate
or emigrate; water or bust, law or no
law. The statutes which provide not to
exceed $l20 and $40 mileage in any one
year for commissioner never contem-
plated the supervision OF 100000 worth
of artesian we'll work and the vexatious
labors pertaining to the loaning Of seed
grain to three or four hundred different
persons. Tho public or indivit dual that
will wink at an expenditure of $4,000 or
$4,000 for an artesian we'll. with the
surveyors, printers and other conting-
ent fees, in violation of the statutes. and
favor the advancement of $4,000 worth
of seed grain in 10 to 75 bushel lots to
Tom, Dick and Harry with no security
but the bounties Of Nature and now and
then spawned horse. should not be-
grudge the commissioners a reasonable
amount for the extra time over and
above their ordinary official duties put
in in the supervision of the work. The
GRAPHIC does not want to be understood
as defending boodling or appr owing the
conduct of the commissioner in this
matter; it has all along protested against
the very causes which appear to have
reacted upon the commissioners alone.
The GRAPHIC simply wishes to remind the
Tax Payers" who furnished the COM
munication in local paper last week
that they are choking on gnat after
swallowing camel.

A Washington special states that
Uncle Sam has probably made his last
free seed distribution. 1t has been the
custom to send out $50 tons annually at
cost of sl6S,00O. Most OF the seeds
were wasted, and it has been evident for
years that the people to whom they were
sent cared very little for them. When
it was suggested that perhaps some Re-
publican orators would urge this stop
page of the seed distribution as evidence
of the administrations disregard for the
farmers, Secretary Morton said:
Just let them try that. l have a
check for $75 that was paid to a Repub-
llcan member Of congress for his quote
of seeds. That member is worth 1,OOO,-
600. One member told he had bought up
$1,000 worth Of seeds from fellow mem
bers last year"
