Indian Depredatioa Claim.

One of the interesting bills now
pending is that which provides for the
satisfaction of George Stanton's claim
against the state. During the Indian
outbreak of 1891, the people of Custer,
and other Black Hills counties, were
placed for a time at the mercy of the
savages. The Indians began their
de%predations by running off the cattle
and destroying the property of the
ranchers along the foothills and the
people of the towns feared that massa.
ores might follow. Before the United
States took action, M. III. Day, of
Rapid City, appealed to Governor
Mellette, and the latter commissioned
him to raise a troop Of volunteers to
protect the whites against the Indians.
The state shipped arms to Rapid City
and the men furnished their own
horses. The troop, to the number of
nearly a hundred, under the command
of Col. Day, rode out OF town and
rendeZvoused at the ranch OF Stanton,
who lived on the frontier, and who
maintained them and their animals
during the period OF the hostilities.
To keep the men and horses cost a
large sum and when the fighting was
over he put in the bill to the state.
The measure was presented to the last
session, but was lost in the dying
hours. He then sued in the court Of
claims at Washington, but was re-
ferred to the state. The bill has been
introduced early this year and may
pass. 1t carries an appropriation of
about fifteen thousand dollars.

Legkslat We Proceedings.

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 2~-Thursday
evening the railroad committee of the
house held a meeting and by previous
arrangement the railroad representa-
tives appeared and prepared to state
their case. On motion of Mr.. Wheeler,
however, and by agreement of all
sides, the hearing was postponed until
next Thursday evening in order that
The jobbers of Sioux Falls and other
parties supporting the Sioux Falls
railroad bill might have a chance TO be
present.
The sessions of the two houses on
Thursday were characterized largely
by hilarity, the principal bills being
that to repeal the tax on dogs in the
senate and to extend the limit for kill
ing prairie chickens in the house. But
both houses transacted a large amount
of business, nevertheless.
In the senate the motion was made
to send a committee of five on a trip
to the state charitable and penal in
situations and carried by a practically
unanimous vote. A few minutes
later, without any apparent reason
being given, the vote was reconsider
ed and unanimously reversed and the
proceedings were e%xpunged from the
record. A sharp debate took place
Over Mr.. Kelley's bill, No. IL, provid-
ing that no bOndsmen for a state
official shall transfer any real estate
without giving ten days notice to the
county commissioners of his intention.
This bill was very ably defended as a
necessary correction of the present
abuses under which bondsmen who
possess large property at the time Of
making the bond relieve themselves
of liability when the bond comes due.
The bill was lost by a vote Of % to Il.
Mr.. Sinclair's bill, No. l15, providing
for the reimbursement Of the counties
by individuals for the maintenance
Of insane, passed. Mr.. Boyce's bill

be deposited before bringing civil
action before justices. after a sharp

~ Home Industry.

There is a big fight on between the
printers Of the state and those who
are on the outside. Heretofore il has
been the general custom for many o;
the state and county officials to pur-
chase their stationery ard supplies
from houses outside the state and the
printers who make their living in
South Dakota and pay their taxes here
are making a great roa about it.
They quote the last Republican plat
form, which states that the party will
protect the industries of the state and
they have introduced a bill which
makes 1t a misdeameanor for any state,
county, township, city or school official
to have printing done without the
state. The matter which Anglers the
printers most is that all the letter
heads, envelopes and other stationery
used for this session of the legislature
bear the stamp of a firm in another
state. They say that it does not look
patriotic to find this paper going yer
the country, apparently showing that
there are no printing establishments
in the state which car do this most
ordinary work. The bill will unGues-
tionably pass, as it should. !
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1895-02-07

Offices are cut OF entirely, as for in
stance the oil inspector, mine inspec-
tor and the commissioner of labor and
statistics, and 1t is more than likely
that the railroad commissioners will
have to go. 1t 10 we'll known that the
present legislature will not pass the
restrictive laws proposed and the sen
timent is that the commission should
not draw pay. The state institutions
will not be closed, but all would be put
on a hard times basis and that means
something different from what they
have ever experienced. However,
this is merely the report of the com
mittee and it is likely that the mem
bers from the localities affected will
have much to saw.

House Judiciary Committee.

Nc legislature in recent times has
had a more efficient or no more able
judiciary committee than that of the
house. Already this committee has
had referred to it %forty-nine bills and
has reported back forty. 1t is difficult
to overeStima.e the work involved in
this when it is remembered that the
members have their other legislative
duties to attend to. 1t is also inter
esting to remember that not a single
report Of the committee has been over
ruled by the house. Much of the sue
cess of the committee is due to the
ability of Mr.. Glass of WATERFOWL,
one of the most powerful speakers and
most efficient members of the house.
The committee holds seven meetings
per week.

Legislative Employees.

A good deal has been said about
the expense Of the legislative employees
and some people have been looking up
the practice in other states. 1t seems
that Montana pays daily 1858 for this
purpose. Nebraska, which is now
appealing to the outside world for
help for her starving inhabitants, has
more than two hundred employees, in
Guiding committee clerks. South Da-
kota, on the other hand, has only
t%hirty-fve altogether, and these are
paid about 1925 per day. 1t has been
the custom heretofore to fix the pay
at each session of the legislature. This
has placed the applicants on the
anxious seat and has wasted a large
amount Of the state money in useless
debates while the scale was being
fixed. Senator Boyce, who is one Of
the members of the committee on
legislative expenditures, has intro
duced a bill fixing this pay roll by
statute. OF course no legislature can
bind it's successor, but when the statute
once fixes the matter probably there
will be no change.

APPROXIMATIONS.

A question of much interest is found
in the appropriations. A great dealo of
discussion has been going on and there
has been much argument in favor Of
the most rigid economy. 1t seems
that the state will have all of this it
needs the coming two years. The
senate committee has held two meet
ings and has practically determined on
the outline Of the bill. AS at present
drawn the measure makes a total cut
of about eighty thousand dollars per
year, or 20 per cent. This is pretty
evenly distributed over the entire
range of expenses, nothing being
spared except the fixed charges. All
of the executive officers are cut on the
incidental expenses connected with
their Offices, and many Of their clerks
are dropped. Several Of the state
