Referring to the populist investigat-
ing committee, authorized by the recent
legislature, the Aberdeen News says:
Gov. Lee claims it is his intention to
appoint the populist Investigating COM
mittee about July lst, notwithstanding
the unconstitutionality of the appropri-
alton made for the purpose. He pro-
poses to obviate this difficulty, however,
by threatening to knock out certain
other appropriations on thc ground of
unconstitutionality if this particular
item is disturbed. This country used
to hear much about government by
Injunction" in South Dakota, under
the present regime, it is government
by threats and coercion" AS matter
of fact, as governor of the state, Mr.
Lee has no right to countenauce the
expenditure OF any money whatever
unless the same is under the full war
rant of the law.
1t will very likely be necessary to ap-
point committee to keep tab on this
Investigating committee.

1t looks as if ex-Gov. Altgeld would
come out of the Globe savings bank in

as much damaged as his political stand
ing 10 the late election. The fact has
been ELECTED that he was large bor-
rover OF the bank funds when he must
have known that it was in an insolvent
condition, and there is evidence going
to show that he used his official posi-

after 1t ought, in justice to the inter
ests OF the public and of the depositors.

FRIDAY, MAY IA, 1897.
HOW ABOUT FATHER HARE?

Argus Leader: The MITCHELL
REPUBLICAN makes bullseye shot at
the governor. It says he claims that
the board of charities and corrections
have been stealing about $4,000 every
two years from the people out of the al
lowance made for the fuel for the insane
asylum, and that he then turns around
and appoints one OF the old mem bers of
the board to another place of trust.
Father Haire has been member of the
the time that this alleged stealing has
been going on. 1t could not have taken
place without his knowledge and con-
sent. 1t was his duty with the other
members of the board, to let the con-
tracts and to see to it that the coal
purchased was used for the purpose
for which it was purchased. If there
has been stealing Father Haire. a good
old time populist, must have known
about it, and Of course must have been
party to it. If $4,000 OF this money
went into the republican campaign
fund, Father Haire, populist, must have
helped put it there. And still Gov.
Lee has confidence enough in the
honesty and integrity Of Father Haire
to appoint him a member of the board
of regents, and not protest has come
from any populist paper. If the other
members OF the board OF charities and
corrections are criminals, Father Haire
is one also. What has Gov. Lee to say
to this? What has Father Haire to
say? What have the populist papers
who are commenting the appointment
of Father Haire, to say? Are they
simply lying about the coal business?
And what do they mean when they say
that $40, 900 of the coal appropriation
went into the republican campaign fund
and still that nobody is accused of dis
honesty?" To our way of thinking the
populists are getting decidedly the
worst of this coal business now. They
will be put in u most ridiculous position
in case Mr.. Brookman refuses to enter
into the contract next July.

Early in January State Auditor May
hew made ruling to the effect that
the Office would require receipts show
ing the actual expenditure of money
before any claims for reimbursements
against the state should be paid. The
populist officers laughed at such an
order and declared as soon as the mat
ter could be brought before the SUI
preme court Mr.. Mayhew's ruling or
order would be knocked out. The
matter has been pending before the
supreme court and on Tuesday that
body gave out its decision, sustaining
the auditor fully in his position and
hereafter all claims presented against
the state will have to be accompanied
by the receipts. This is business and
as the populist governor has instituted
an administration OF that kind, or
thinks he has, the populists should be
the last to kick against q reform of
their own making. The order made by
Mr.. Mayhew, and which has been en-
dorsed by the supreme court, reads as
follows:
All bills for goods and merchandise
furnished to any state officer or institu-
tion, payment Of which is to be made
from the state treasury, should be fully
itemized, the quantity stated and the
price per unit.
Likewise. all claims for service rem
dered should be itemized and approved

In Aid OF international BImetaii.m.

President Mckinley has announced the
appointment of Senator Edward O. VOL
colt Of Colora 70, Charles j. Paine of Bos-
ton and ex-Nice President Stevenson as
commissioners to an international none
tary conference. These appointments are
made under the act of Congress approx ed
March 3, "for the promotion of an inter-
national agreement for bimetalism," and
by its provisions they do not require con-
firmation by the Senate.
The character of the appointments
proves the sincerity OF the Presidents wish
to do something to advance the cause of
international bimetalsm. Senator VOL
colt is a silver Republican, and it will be
remembered that he went last summer on
a self-imposed emission" to Europe in be-
half of the bimetalst idea. EX-Vice Pres
ident Stevenson, the Democratic member
of the commission, though generally known
as an advocate of bimetalism, was a
staunch supporter of Bryan and the Chi
cago platform. He and Senator Wolcott,
however, are said TO be in accord on the
financial question. General Charles j.
Paine who may be termed the minority
member is Republican, and was Nc
Kinley man. He is one of the most prom
inent business men of Massachusetts,, and
Is said to be deep student of the inan-
cial question. He was an intimate friend
and associate of President Walker of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
who was a leading advocate of the princi-
pie of international bimetalsm. To the
public Gen. Paine is probably best known
as the active man in the syndicate of
yachtsmen who built the Puritan, the NJ ay-
flower and the Volunteer to defend the
Americas cup. 1t is fact not generally
known, that General Paine accompanied
Senator Wolcott on his European trip last
summer, and assisted him in his work.

nesday, and as usual upon the return of
his birthday anniversary, Senator and Mrs.
Morrill, gave a reception to their friends at
their Washington home. AS usual, also,
the house was like a flower garden in its
profusion of beautiful floral gifts sent from
all parts of the country. The Senators S
mail was loaded with greetings from his
friends The reception was from till II.
The Senator and Mrs. Morrill, were as
sisted in receiving by James Morrill,, Miss
Swami and Mrs. L. V. Smalley and daugh-
ter. Soon after 9:30 there was a little
futter of pleased surprise when President
Mckinley entered quietly and smilingly
rendered birthday good wishes. Mrs. Nor
rill shared in the congratulations because
of her unusual good health. President
Mckinley was accompanied by Secretary
Porter. Vice President and Mrs. Hobart,
the cabinet members and their wives, the
ambassadors and ministers of foreign
countries and their wives, many senators
and representatives, and friends from Yer
mont were among the guests.
In his opening prayer Wednesday morn
ing the chaplain of the Senate referred in
eulogy to the ''patriarch of the Senate, hale
in body, alert and vigorous in intellect,
fresh and kindly in generous sympathies,

career of more than two-score years in the
service of the nation, with the love and

THE FAST DAY SERVICES.


The union Fast day service, announced
to be held in Festival hall, which was
postponed from last Friday morning to
Friday evening, was held in the Congre-
gational chapel, but on account of the
small attendance, due to the rain, the full
program was not carried out. The re-
sponsive service was used, and the meet
ing then took the form of a prayer meet
ing with Faith in God" as the theme.
This was the theme assigned to Rev. Mr..
Hough, and was one of the four upon
which the several pastors were to have
spoken in the morning. Mr. Hough said
in substance:
THAT was question of large meaning
asked by the Christ: When the Son of
Man cometh shall he find faith on the
earth" To have asked will he find the
natural sun shining?' would not have sug-
gested more serious thought. For what
the sun is to the natural world, faith in
God is to the commercial, mental and
spiritual realms. The impression prevails
that it is an article on demand only for
conversions, sick rooms and Sundays. 1t
is an every day affair. We cannot do busi-
ness without it. The trade of these states
has been depressed because this element
lost control of the public mind. To re-
treaty of arbitration or passing a tariff
bill. The nation itself is the response to
the faith of the men who landed on Plym-
outh Rock. They believed God. No ma
tion in all the history of the world has had
continuous progress without faith in God.
Things sacred to the home and heart de-
pend on its presence here. The moment
we lose it we lose faith in one another,
and the whole local fabric goes to pieces.
"Out of the home life the. Christ came
bearing the message of a new faith in God,
in man, his responsive power, in the fu-
ture OF the race and the world. Things
spiritual and eternal depend on its pres
/ ence here. Christ only asked this ques-
/ tion because he knew that with faith he
would find commercial prosperity, sym
metrical manhood, mental achievement,
domestic felicity, religious liberty, just
laws, the triumph of truth, and that he
himself would not have lived and died in
vain"

The truth of =. T. Barnum's cynical oh
servation that ''there is a new crop of fools
every year" finds Illustration over and over
as the years 60 on, but it has never been
more conspicuously illustrated than in the
case of the Dean "investment syndicate"
which collapsed in New York the other
day. This magnificent swindle was
started about II months ago by man and
a women, the latter giving the name to the
firm. In that short time a clentage was
worked up which must have been enor-
nous, as about 10000 victims showed up
at the finish What the operations
amounted to, and how greedy and gulible
were the victims is shown by the fact that
the police found $4,000 in a single days
mail. All these people were tempted by the
promise of enormous returns from small
investments. They believed all that the
"company's" circulars said about its sim
fallible'' methods of doing business; they
had read how the large stock operators
sometimes cornered the market with vast
profit to themselves, and they believed
what the company told them about its
handling their funds in the same way. 1t
is the old story of the buncoer's prey upon
human greed. Many Of these victims
doubtless count themselves good" people,
but on this occasion they forgot to be
honest, and were willing, lust for this
once doubtless to smother their scruples,
and gamble, and try to make something
out Of nothing, no matter who suffered
and they met their reward.
