Governor Lees message has revealed
some interesting jobs of thrifty leaders
in the populist party. Those who are
intimately acquainted with him say he
does not even pretend to have written
his inaugural message. Governor Lee,
though he may wish to discharge the
duties of his high Office efficiently and
honestly, hasapparently fallen amongst
IL set of politicians who expect. under
the guise of reform, to compel the peo-
pie of South Dakota to pay a goodly

The coditication of the laws is worth

mcnded over tho governors signature.

Republicans have been %viciously at
tackled i'll the past by populists because
bills of this nature were simply intro
duced and killed; but now they are
brought forward as meritorious meas
urcs by Governor Lee. For six years
each South Dakota legislature has
been com PEELED to fight the book trust.
In 1881 Il company was formed in this
state and stock issued amounting to
$4,000 for thepurpose of monopolizing
the public printing. a state uniform
ity book law was introduced and stock
given out to lobbyists. which was to he
cashed at par by aChicago book house
if the bill becamea law. The bill came
up again i'll 1898. In 1895 it was again
introduced. These bills all provided
for Il state commission to be appointed
by the governor and are ostcnsibly for
the purpose of enabling the state to
print its own school books; but the
commission is given authority to select
text books of any company and force
them IN the people. This has long
been known asa job. Now the govern
or has recommended this, which will
cost the people of this state a quarter
of u million dollars if it becomes a law.

THE FUNDING BILL DEFEATED

Walter Wellman, the famous newspa-
per correspondent, in his letter from
Washington to the Chicago Times
Herald in regard to the defeat of the
refunding bill, had the following to
say:
SThe giant monopoly of the Pacific
coast had at last submitted it's case to
IL legislature which it could not buy.
The virtue of the house, helped, it is
only fair to admit, by the opposition
of other railroads, had triumphed over
IIuntington's specious argument and
peculiar inducements.
attorney General Harmon is out of
the city but on his return it is under
stood the papers will be drawn for in
stitution of foreclosure proceedings.
President Cleveland has told IL number
OF senators during the past few days
that he was only waiting for the result
of the vote in the house, when he would
go ahead. He considers it his duty to
lose no time in this matter.
'.Huntington talks of making p set
Element directly with the government
without the intervention OF congress,
but there is only III way in which he
can do this. and that is by paying up
what he owes. OF course he cannot do
this.
"President Cleveland is determined
to foreclose, and he has strong hopes
that bidders for both roads will come
forward at the proper time. Hunting
ton will fight the foreclosure in an eff
fort to gain more time. His attorneys
say foreclosure cannot be had without
the sanction and direction of congress,
but the attorney general says lie is en-
powered to go ahead by existing law.
Old man Huntington appears to be
nearly at the end of his rope"
