Chicago special: j. Sterling Morton,
Secretary of Agriculture, is in Chicago TO
make a personal investigation Of the syS-
TEN OF cattle inspection at the stock yards.
The secretary was asked whether the
recent st. Louis interview with him in re-
gard to a third term was accurate and
authentic. He admitted that he was cor
rectiy quoted and continued:
ITO me there are no horrors in a thir'.
term, and | for one see nothing against It.
People talk about an unwritten law, but
as 4 matter OF fact there is no such law
and no foundation for saying there is a law
against a third term for president. Grant
hadn't A chance to refuse a third term,
for he was not nominated. Even Prcsi-
den Cleveland has not yet been given an
opportunity 10 accept or decline another
nomination. \ third term has been
talked about for him in the newspapers
but this is aS far aS il has gone. No One
has proposed il TO him. He has not said
a word about il 10 his most intimai,
friends. and ;" it il loo early to talk of .
third term.

think the conservative people and the
business men of the country will support

Prohjbjtiou ion.

The prohibition question IN this state IL
daily growing Of i'm portance as a factor IN
South Dakota politics. Air eady both the
Republicans and Dcmo-PopS are making
preparations for a hard fight, and that 1t
viii be a hard one, nobody doubts h
has paid any attention to the question.
The most popuious counties OF the state
would 60 against prohibition, and the one
great hope that the temperance people
have is in cutting down the majorities in
Mlnnehaha, Yankton, Brown. Clay,
Union and some of The Black Hills u
ties, and increase their majOritieS in
other portions of the state as much as
possible.
The prohibition law as il stands upon
the statute books is generally considered
10 be "A failure; not a total failure, how =
ever. because there are many places IN
the state where prohibition Is enforced .
In the city OF Sioux Falls there are twenty
five saloons running wide open. and III
IanktOn twenty-five are conducted with
open doors. In Scotland there are a dozen
more. In Yankton and Sioux Falls beer
is Observation-Disclosures having two
breweries and Sioux Falls one. This beer
is sold throughout the state. In the
larger towns a license fee ia collected
monthly. but III the smaller villages the
S~aioonkeeper takes his chances Of being
indicted by the grand jury.

For "Shoving the Queer"

J. +. Martin and 'Paddy' Shipman
have been arrested at Madison, for passing
counterfeit money. Martin registered at
the hotel as being from st. Paul, while
Shipman is a well known gambler OF
Madison. Martin passed a s. counterfeit,
on aclerk in a grocery store in payment
of a Scent plug of tobacco. The pro.
prietor sent the clerk 10 find the man
who "shoved the queer" and Martin was
found and accused OF the act. He said
that Shipman gave him the money in a
poker game. Then both men were ar.
rested and jailed. 1t is said that a third
man, supposed to be in the gang, as soon
as he heard of his pals being arrested left
town by team. Considerable counterfeit
money has been passed in Madison of late
and the officers think they now have the
men who have done il.

Maj. Caldwell and DR.. "Samps"
Pope may talk about being actua-
ted by patriotic motives until the
crack of doom and the people
won't believe q word of it when
they read that portion of their pc
tltion to Judge Golf praying for
an Injunction in which they refer
to the fact that those of "African
descent are in a numerical ma
jority of 10000. Why did they re-
fer to that as ground for grant
ing an injunction unless they
meant 10 allege that because the
negroes have this 10000 majority
therefore they are the rightful
rulers of the State? BuL perhaps
it is patriotic (') to open the flood
gates of universal suffrage and let
the negroes rule. Perhaps it is a
kind of patriotism (?) that thinks
it is better for the State to be gov
erned by negroes rather than by
the white men who are now in
power.-Anderson Advocate.
