Tired OF Fusion.
Argus Leader.

The populists Of Washington have
issued a manifesto declaring that
hereafter they would not entertain
any fusion propositions but would
go it alone. The populists there
have got tired of trying to work
with men who have nothing in COM
mon with populists except an aPpe-
tite for office. Fusion is a delusion
and a snare wherever it has been
tried. In South Dakota, it is re-
sponsible for the present troubles of
the pop party and for the ruin of the
democratic organization. If the ex-
pressions which have been made in
South Dakota are to be trusted, the
example set in Washington will be
followed in South Dakota.

The county commissioners of
Yankton county advertised for bids
for the construction Of a vault in the
court house. Bids were accordingly
offered and the contract awarded.
The validity Of the action of the
commissioners was questioned by
some taxpayers and Judge Smith
was appealed to. lie decided that
the action of the commissioners in
letting the contract to be irregular
and void on the grounds that ques-
ton of the expenditure should have
been first submitted to the people
and also because the same could not
be paid from the county general
fund.
This decision is Of peculiar inter
est to Day County by reason of the
commissioners having advertised for
bids fora vault and awarded the
contract. Since the above decision
has been published, the commission
ers have called a halt, stopped the
shipment of the vault door ordered,
and cancelled the contract. There
is no question but that the court
house needs a proper vault and it is
extremely doubtful if any taxpayer
would raise an issue against it. L
was not done in the case of the Jail
fixtures, which were ordered under
similar circum stances, but the com
missioners have acted wisely in
determining not to give anybody a
chance to kick. The point is not
whether a vault is needed, but
whether the commissioners are a
supreme purchasing power regard
less OF the statute limiting their
powers. A precedent established
might prove a dangerous weapon in
the hands of an INSCRIPTIONS board,
should on OF that character ever
gain office. 1t is always best in
these matters to follow the law and
then no question can be raised.

The indications are that the Ding
ley bill will pass the senate by a fair
majority as the southern members
are liring up for protection. For
the first time in the history of tariff
Legislation, a duty on raw cotton has
been incorporated in the bill. 1t
was proposed by Senator Bacon of
Georgia and adopted by a vote of
AZ to 10, a number of southern and
western democrats voting for the

the Legislature, and it may raise a
question Of law as to the authority
Of the board of education so to do.

According to the Washington
correspondent Of the Minneapolis
Journal, a forecast of the annual re-
port of the director Of the mint shows
that South Dakota stands third in
the list of gold producing states,
being ranked only by California and
Colorado. To most people this will
be somewhat surprising news, and it
is suspected that there is at least
one senator from South Dakota to
whom this intelligence will convey a
shock. Senator Pettigrew is so busy
introducing bills for the construction
of airships, the abrogation Of Ha-
waiian treaties, the suppression of
trusts, and other reforms of like
nature, that he has dou btless over
looked this little matter Of South
Dakota's immense gold output.
Just now Mr.. Pettigrew is contem-
plating a little journey into the
Orient for purposes which only the
mind Of a silver senator can fathom.
Meantime the gold miners of South
Dakota 60 right along adding to
the wealth of the world and in

Judge Palmer has been appointed
one of the counsel of the state rail-
way commission. As the Judge is a
member of the Legislature which
passed the law under which the COM
mission is authorized to engage such
counsel, it would appear as if he
were disqualified from holding Office
under it. Auditor Mayhem will
have a chance to test the question by
refusing to issue vouchers to the
Judge for his services.

The county board of education of
Minnehaha county has ignored the
uniform text book law of the last
Legislature by passing a resolution
that all books now in use, except
biographies, grammars, and copy
books be adopted whether uniform
or not). This action is defended on
the grounds that the change will
cost the patrons Of the schools of the
county $4,000 and II the times are
as hard AS the populists declare them
to be, a change of books would be a
hardship. 1t seems to be a pretty

Every once in awhile, and some

opinion or seeks information on
school Jaw. There are some things
the editor of this paper doesn't know
strange as it may seem-and one
of them is the school law Of South
Dakota. It's a newspaper mans
business to know everything, but the
newspaper manor any other indi-
vidual-who can keep tab on the
school laws of this state hasn't show

whole shootin' match is such a con-
glomerated mass Of incongruities-
made by the last Legislature confu-

NIT to innumerable newspaper inter-

Mr.. Bryan's delicate sensibilities to

Gus notoriety /; but, on the other
hand, what would become Of the
American people if he should mad

would it not endanger the nation !?

Hicks says June will open with the
passing Of the storm conditions preya-
lent the last Of May. From 10th to Nth
thunder an d lightning, wind storms and
many showers. From 14th to 25th, the
summer soltice, longest days and short
est nights. This season is always ac-
companied by a marked increase OF cleo
trical disturbances. Generally the rain
iall is greatest at this time, which
causes the June rise in ri vers. The June
rise was formerly supposed to be on
account of the melting snow in the
mountains, but this idea is a mistake.
1t is caused by rain reaching the maxl-
mum during that period. Cloudiness
and rain will prevail but the most gen
eral and heaviest rains will occur from
Monday 21st to Friday 25th. During
this period, lightning is generally vivid
and continuous, flashing the whole
night long in all parts OF the heavens.
But there is little danger. During rapid.
ugly-looking thunder storms at this
season, do not seek shelter under trees
or sit by open doors oil windows. Dur
ing the month OF June, the general
course OF clouds is from west to east,
but there is a continual tendency to
whirl suddenly backward after they
have gone asst and pour down wind
and rain suddenly. The last general
storm period is June 20. Very warm
we ather may be expected to close the
month.
