Loyalty stood by the caucus nomi-
nee, Major Pickler and presented an
unbroken front to the enemy, but
it is apparent to all that he cannot
be elected and we believe the time
has arrived when another name
should be substituted. OF course no
republican can be elected without
the aid of populist or democrat votes
but it has been amply demonstrated
that Pickler is not the loadstone to
attract them. But is the same true
Of other eligible republicans ? In
the present demoralized and dis
gusted frame of mind of the popu-

republican might cause a break in

A Good Record.

In scanning Gov. Sheldon's farewell
message, We are led to believe that
much of the criticism INDUCED to-
ward him has been made under a
mistaken impression. While no
allusion to these criticisms is made,
the events hal furnished the occa-
sion for it, are frankly set out in the
message and 60 a great way toward
successfully refuting whatever may
have been alleged against the course
of the executive in certain cases.
1t appears to us that Governor
Sheldon has endeavored to perform
his official duty in accordance with
the solemn obligation he took upon
himself when he was inaugurated.
In the main he has discharged his
duties satisfactorily to tho people.
There haze been gross scandals and
great crimes with which the COVER

The republicans of South Dakota
have never said half the mean things
about Senator Kyle that the people
who helped him into prominence are
saying about him now. And all
because he stands in the way of
certain ambitious politicians who look
upon the populist party as simply
the means to carry out their personal
schemes. Kyle is no Webster or

A NEW LICENSE LAW.
A Treasure That Will be Pushed
at the Legislature for
Adoption.

A synopsis of the new license law
is sent out from Pierre and m
bodies some points which the
friends of the law think will operate
to a successful end and the traffic
will be under better control.
The law provides for a maximum
license fee of 1000 per annum,
$500 of which amount goes to the
county and the remainder to the
city, town, or township in which
the saloon is situated. This sum
must be paid for a year in advance
commencing on the 1st Of July of
each year, or pro rata from the
date Of the commencement to the
1st of July following. The would
be saloon keeper must file a petition
with the local authorities, the
city council, trustees, or board of
supervisors, as the case may be-
signed by twenty resident free
holders over twenty-one years OF
age, certifying that he is a person
of good character aud ft to conduct
the business properly. The matter
of granting the license is optional
with the local authorities aforesaid.
and the punishment for violation
Of the law in any respect is fine aud
Imprisonment, the forfeiture of the
license and license fee, and disqual
Ification from engaging in the bust
ness again. No cards or other
games can be conducted in the
building where liquor is sold, or in
any building connected Herewith
or adjacent thereto, nor a liquor
be sold to minors, persons who are
in the habit Of becoming intox-
lcated, or persons whose parent,
guardian, child, OIL employer files u
written objection. The same OBJ
lection may also be filed by mayors,
aldermen, supervisors, poor officers,
etc. Adulteration OF liquor Is pun
ished by a fine of $50 to $500. The
saloon must be kept closed on Sun
days aud election days, and on
week days between the hours Of IL
O'Clock p. m. and 5 o'clock a. m.
Police officers are required to visit
the places weekly and ascertain if
the law has been violated, and if so
to lodge complaint without giving
security for costs. Notice of the
application for a license must be
published for two weeks in a news
paper printed in the city, town, or
village, and no saloon may be main
tanned within a block of any church
or school. There are many other
provisions of restrictive nature, but
the foregoing are the most impor.

We fell into error last week in
stating in case Of a failure of the
Legislature to elect an United States
Senator that the Governor would
appoint. This is a mistake. Should
the Legislature fail to elect a Sena-
tor before adjournment, South Da-
kota would have only INT represent
alive in the upper house of Congress
until a new Legislature met or the
present Legislature was reconvened
in special session and the same re.
suit atta:ned. The only time a
governor can appoint a Senator i:
when a vacancy occurs when the
