Uniformity OF Afsidayitg.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The general
land Office will soon prepare the draft OF
a proposed bill making uniform require
ments in the exercise of all preliminary
affidavits III which the right of timber
culture entry is based. Under the laws
now in force governing the disposition
Of public lands, such requirements differ
and Secretary Smith is of the opinion
that they should be uniform, and that
the afidavits should be permitted to be
made before any officer authorized to
administer oaths in the district in
which the land is located.
What Allied the speech.
At the close of one of the sessions in
the trial of Warren Hastings, when
most of those engaged had gathered in
the anteroom. DIR. Parr stalked up and
down the DON in his pedantic. pompous
way. growing ont praises of the
speeches of Fox and Sheridan, but say.
ing not a word about Burke's.
Burke, sensitive nc this omission and
anxious for some commendation from
the great authority. could at last con.
tain himself no longer and burst ont:
Doctor, didn't you like my speech?''

calmly eying his excited questioner.

Bryant dispatch, 30: Louis Wabely, a
bachelor, has been living alone in the
vicinity OF Vienna. Not having been
seen for about a week, the neighbors
became frightened, and breaking the
door OF his shanty, found his dead body
in bed frozen stiff. There were no
marks OF violence TO indicate suicide or
foul play. Death resulted from asphyxi-
alton from coal gas.

WORK.

Early in the session the senate passed
a bill TO hold a constitutional convention
and secure an entire new constitution in
South Dakota. Notwithstanding it was
a foolish move with no hope OF success
for two very good reasons-costing too
much money in very hard times and not
needed ~anyway-the bill passed the sen
ate with only one dissenting vote. Had
the bill ever passed both houses and the
question been submitted 9 to the
people, the latter would. with
out doubt, sit down very hard upon it.
The claim is made hat the constitution
is too cumbersome and restricts the leo
lsIature too much, but the very fact that
this legislature wants to tear the consti-
tuition to pieces in a dozen places is the
best evidence to the people that as long
as they do not enjoy the referendum
throughout, the constitution is the only
~protection they have from reckless legis-
lators. The whole desire to tear the
constitution to pieces comes from the
fact hat the legislature is restricted IN
it's power to extract money from the
pockets OF the people, to a very econom
ical basis. The house members have
had'time to hear from their constituents
and reflect upon this radical move to
break loose from present moorings, and
it is said that the resolution for q new
convention has small show for passage.
When amendments to our constitution
can be SO easily made it were better to
revise it piece by piece fer the present
and it will probably be soon learned that
the people do not want so many changes
after all. Three such were submitted
by the last legislature and every one Of
them sat down upon by the people.
The taking of the census is also a mat
ter of worry to the legislators and state
officials. 1t is virtually decided, how
ever, to take it through the assessors.
Still there will be considerable state ex-
pense connected with it in the furnish
ing of blanks and the compiling OF re.
turns. Auditor Ripple estimates this
cost at $4,000 while the senate commit
tee places it at Sl,4O0. The auditor re-
fuses TO do the work for this and the
committee secured a pledge from the
governor that he would do it through his
private secretary for that amount. But
it has been discovered since that the
state has a statisticIan who draws a sal
airy OF $1,000 and is allowed five or six
hundred dollars more for expenses, or
rather for dong nothing. 1t is pre-
sumed now that this will be considered
his legitimate work.
The senate committee on banks has
decided to favorably report the bill al
lowing Dunn's, Bradstreet's and other
commercial agencies to operate in South
Dakota without putting up the $4,000
bond o required by law.
The bill cutting the contract rate of
interest from II to 10 per cent. was re-
ported unfavorably.
The board OF agriculture has asked
the Legislature to make good is deficit
of $3.50.
Bill No. oil, providing that any candi-
date or party may pay the expenses aud
reasonable per diem to any person MAX
ing political speeches IN favor of any
candidate, passed by a vote of 35 TO 7,
