estimate OF collection was 10 per cent.
In view OF all the circumstances, it is
extremely doubtful whether the esti-
mated collections of delinquent tax
and of the levy for 1894, applicable to
the fiscal term beginning next March,
will fructiiy.
The outstanding Indebtedness and
prospective receipts should suggest the
limitations within which appropria-
tions are TO be made for the fiscal
term of 1851. Two methods have
been resorted to in order to estimate
as precisely as possible the revenues to
be relied upon. One was TO compute
the receipts for 1851 on the basis of
the percentage of loss from the esti-
mated revenue collections OF the clos
ing quarter in the 1913 term
auditors report) and the first half of
the 1885, term. The other was to
compile the actual receipts between
October 81, 1892, and October 81.
1891, compare them with the audited
estimated receipts Qess the proportion
of II per cent. for collections coming
within the closing quarter of the regu-
lar fiscal term and the levy available
January l, 1895, besides), and with
this practical footing, measure the
revenue, at levy OF mills, for the
two years ending October 81, 1896.
The latter estimate was 81 ,470, 600, the
former $4,000 additional. Therefore,
with present valuations prevailing,
the State tax levy increased one half
mill and the ratio of collection re-
naming unchanged, the receipts for
the period designated should be ST.
100000
With the exception of appropria-
tiOns unexpended October 81, 1896,
roughly estimated at 100000, the
final liabilities for the 1857 fiscal
term would be deficiencies and legis-
lative expenses for the season of 1897.
For the purpose of careful estimation
as to positive resources the last named
may be excluded as fac
tors, protected as they fairly will be
by the levy for 1896 and the collecta-
BILE delinquencies available in January,
1897. How far below this $l 500 900
limitation of receipts for the next fiscal
term the appropriations are to be kept
should be determined by consideration
of the outstanding Indebtedness.
APPROXIMATE INDEBTEDNESS OCTOBER
81, 1894.
Omission of interest account from
the estimates and status of the public
debt is frequent oversight of compu-
tation. In departing from the Gus
tomary methods of analysis and
review the purpose will be to impress
upon your honorable body the insid-
ious nature of fiscal policy which is
not devised on sound business princi

SUPERIOR COURT DISTRICTS.

Redistribution of the Superior
Court distrists is desirable, to the end
that the number OF judges may be cut
down. Court commissioners, as pro-
vided for by the constitution, could
make orders in probate in such coun-
ties as might be deprived Of resident
judge by the formation OF new and
larger districts.

That is to say, if all the revenue re-
| sources are available on March 81
only half of the current Indebtedness
can be extinguished. Opposed TO
such presumptive collection is the
fact that the total receipts for the
fractional quarter ending December 81
1892, and the quarter ending March
81, 1893, were $4O2, ,56495; while the
total receipts for the full quarter end
lug December 81, 1898, and the quar-
ter ending March 81, 1894, fell to
$l97 1882.
Granting that the receipts between
October 81, 1894, and March 81, 1895,
should equal those of the same period
two years ago. which would be con-
cessiOn to the most sanguine expecta-
tions, the Legislature still has to face
the dilemma of positive current
debt of approximately $I,20O,OOO.
With repetition of the experience OF
the two quarters ending March 81,
1894, the current liabilities 1t the out
set of the next fiscal term would be
nearly 81, 100000. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the anticipated reve-
nues for two years, collec u in ad-
vance, could scarcely edeem the
current debt OF March 81 1894. Does
this state of affairs not demand the
most rigorous precaution and imply
the severest responsibility in the Law
making power?

To show how we'll the Huron cream
cry has done since it started we publish
the following statistics: The Huron
creamery has been in operation four
months and during that time has paid
to its patrons over $4,000. The receipts
OF the milk during July averaged about
$4,000 pounds per day, and during July
the managers paid out So, 260; the total
receipts for the month were something
over 50, 300 this was for butter shipped
to eastern markets. or the So, 300 paid
out all but about $l3O went into the
hands of farmers in this immediate vi
cinity: the $130 was for butter tubs, etc.
The receipts OF milk now are about II,
300 pounds daily, from lO1 patrons. The
daily output OF butter is from $40 to $50
pounds, This is disposed of at good
prices in Chicago and other markets
and the demand far exceeds the supply.
The creamery has been a success from
the very start.

GETS FIVE YEARS.

Defauiting Treasurer Taylor Receives His
Sentence of Five Years in the Pen.
Special to The REPUBLICAN.
PIERRE, S. D., Aug. l4.-W. w.
Taylor, the defaulting state treasurer,
appeared before Judge Gaffy Wednes-
day to receive his sentence. The court
room was crowded with spectators who
were specializing on the number of
years Taylor would get. Taylor stood
before Judge Gaffy immovable and
seemed willing and eager to know his
fate, and when the Judge pronounced
his sentence of five years in the peni-
tentiary sigh of relief seemed to
issue from Taylor's lips. Public opin.
ion here is divided as to the sentence,
some thinking that he should have
been sentenced under the 81 year
statute while others bolieye, that TAX
ing into consideration the surrounding
circumstances, that in five years Tay.
lor will have received enough punish
ment. Mrs. Taylor will accompany
her husband to Sioux Falls where she
will reside during his imprisonment.

Building a New Church.

The Very Rev. Father Sheehan. who
was formerly pastor of the Holy Family
church in this city but now in charge
of large congregation at Beresford, is
preparing to erect a new brick church
this fall in the latter town. The size
of the building will be As by 80 feet
and when completed will be one of the
handsomest and most imposing struct-
ures of the kind in the state. 1t will
cost upwards OF $4,000. The present
church building, which has a seating
capacity OF 500, will be remodeled and
used for school purposes. Judging
from Father Sheehans success whilst
in our midst he will build up fine
society at Beresford.

MADE A LOSING FIGHT.

and Then Not Satisfied.
The state board OF equalization has
had a vigorous fight in the matter of
assessing the railroads this year and
two representatives OF the Milwaukee
and Northwestern were present during
the time the railroad assessment was
urder discussion. The companies re-
ceived no reduction from their assess
ment Of last year.
If the representatives. of the roads
had been satisfied with small reduc-
tion they would have secured 1t but
they were not. A reduction of $4,000
was made on the Milwaukee system and
$4,000 to the Northwestern system
east of the river: the Northwestern rep
resentative then asked for a reduction
OF S53, 900 on their Elk Horn branch
when Commissioner Lockhar made a
vigorous kick which ended in a motion
by Treasurer Phillips to reconsider the
question of assessment of the two roads
in question which was carried, and he
Immediately moved that no reduction
whatever be given them but they be

A Machine People Have Waited For.

In 1881 Cyrus H. Mccormick in
vented the first successful reaping
machine, and from that time until the
present the farmers of the world have
looked to the Mccormick for every
real advancement in the line of harvest
ing machinery, and they have not been
disappointed. Here is the latest. an
automatic corn binder. If you are in
terested in the fodder saving question,
it will pay you to see the Mccormick
agent in your nearest town, and if you
want one place your order at once.
This is practical simple, common
sense machine, and has had repeated
long and severe tests.
The demand is SO great for these
machines, none are shipped until far
mers order them. The whole country
is talking OF this Mccormick corn bind
er. People realize more than ever tht
value of corn fodder for feeding pur
poses. Remember the Mccormick Co
