UNION COUNTY AND THE SECOND judi
CIAL CIRCUIT.

A great deal has been published in
various papers regarding the relation
of Union County and the Second Judi
cial Circuit. 1T has seemed to the
COURIER a good deal like threshing old
straw. and for this reason we have
made little reference to it. There are
some points however that are matters
OF record or beyond dispute. and these
cannot be kept LOO clearly in mind :.
Let us notice one or two of these.
Senate Bill No. 81, shifting Union
county from the First to the Second
District, was introduced and engineer
ed through the Senate by our Senator
Grill. In the House Major Dollard
presided over It's destinies. and when
the bill came up on its final passage
he moved an amendment chang
ing the dates for holding the
Hutchinson county court from May
and February to May and October.
The permanent journal OF the House,
'io"SNS'' SHp"S ltidb tItc JI1liu Fttu-
ing of the bill. 'Mr Dollard moved
that the bin be referred to committee
OF one with Instructions to amend the
original bill by fixing the dates for
holding terms of courtin Hutchinson
county on the third Tuesday in Nav
and the fourth Tuesday in February,
which motion prevailed. This of
course was II blunder, and would mean
no change in date at all. Later it was
voted in the Senate ''as Il substitute
that the Sena.e doconcur in the amend
ments Of the House of Representatives
to the Senate Biz No. 3D. 1t will be
noticed that the ''amendments" are
not specified, aud therefore, presuma-
bly, reference must be made to the
amendment created by Mr.. Dollard's
motion given above. We have it from
good authority that since the close of
the legislature the chief clerk has nd
ded an 'serratum" to the permanent
Journal of the House, stating that the

Prosperity appears to have come to
South Dakota with determination to
stay. Everywhere through the state
except in a very few localities, money
is plenty and farmers and townspeople
arc engaged in erecting houses, BUSH
ness blocks and farm buildings. The
lumber yards report the sale Of more
lumber than at any season for five years;
elevators are being erected at nearly
every railroad station in the state:
creameries are being built as fast AS
the machinery can he placed in posi-
ton, and to this fact more than any
other, is attributed. large share of
the prosperity that is upon the state.
The creameries have revolutionized
methods Of farming and habits of farm
life. Until the creamery came farmers
were obliged to 60 from one season to
another on credit with the local mer-
chants: the coming crop was eaten up
before it was harvested: and when a
season OF bad crops came it left them in
bad condition. Now all this is changed.
Once month the farmer is paid for
his milk. which enables him to at least
pay current expenses, so that when
his crop is harvested he will not be
obliged to pay out the proceeds for
past debts. Competent authorities de-
clare that the farmers OF this state
have paid off million dollars OF ind ebt-
edness during the past year, and it is
difficult to find one who has not the
larger part OF last years crop still on
hand. - Eugene Lewis in Argus Leader

amendment should read ''the fourth
Tuesday in October instead of the
fourth Tuesday in February" Here
are two questions, both of serious i'm
port, which must be adjudicated by the
supreme court: What House amend
ment did the Senate adapt? End. IF
the one given above, then has
the clerk authority to correct the per-
manent record without instructions!
The whole situation is fine speci-
men of popocratic bungling, and, which
ever way you turn, serious difficulty
confronts you. When Il case testing
the jurisdiction Of the Second Circuit
Judge in Union County is brought before
the supreme court, as will be done pre-
sently no doubt, it may be something
may be brought out of the tanglc, but
it can be little more than temporary
arrangement. In any case the next
legislature will have to readjust the
matter and undo as far as possible the
mischief that has been done. Mean
while let us possess our souls in patti
ence, and make the best of the bless.
ngs our pop Legislators have so boun-
tifullv bestowed upon us.

COMPARATIVE RESULTS OF THE WILSON
AND MkiNLEI TARIFFS.

In taking our leave OF the Wilson
tariff law it will be we'll to compare its
results with the Mckinley law which
preceded it. The deficit of Sl25 900, 600
which the Wilson law has made up to
the time Of Mckinley's inauguration
has been somewhat reduced by the
enormous importations of the past
three months, which were made in or
der to escape duties under the new
tariff law. Notwithstanding the in
crease in receipts by reason of the flood
OF importations, since the inauguration
OF President Mckinley the customs, in
ternal revenue and total receipts under
this law have been much less than in
the corresponding three months of the
history of the Mckinley law. This is
especially interesting and important
because OF the statements made from
time to time by the Democrats to the
effect that the w son law was more
successful AS a revenue producer than
the Mckinley law. The absolute falls
ity of this statement is shown by the
official figures covering the receipts of
the Wilson law from the beginning of
It's operations down to the present time
and comparing those with the receipts
under the Mckinley law in the CORE
spending months OF its existence. The
Wilson law has now been in operation
thirtyfour months. In those thirty
four months the customs receipts ag-
gregated S467, 465, 24S, while in the first
thirty-four months of the Mckinley
law the customs receipts were S54S,-

tour months We're S3S2, 722 .453, and in
the first thirty-four months OF the Nc
kinney law were S433, TO- 45S. The total
receipts under the Wilson law in its
first thirty-four months ending June
30, 1897. amount to S9O4. 300. 652, while
the Mckinley law in its first thirty
four months produced 81 OIL ,04S, OF, a
balance of more than Sl37 ,0O0, 900 in
favor OF the Mckinley law

The county commissioners, in COM
pliance with the mandates of the late
legislature, reappointed the official
newspapers for the remainder of the
year, and The Republic was named as
representing the Populist party in I'm
Ion county. This is not a prostitution
Of our Populistic principles, but IA rec
ignition Of them, as the law demands
that one paper shall be different in
politics from the other two. The COM
missioners have our thanks, and yet
there was nothing else to be done ex-
cept to cut of their own party paper
at the county seat, which in any board
would be poor generalship. The Re-
public, although appointed to this
honor by q Republican board, will
continue to fight, the battles OF the
Peoples party, leading the other folks
brave but manly fight, and wrestling
victory from them If possible. Union

The official statements Of the depart
mont Of agriculture for the fiscal wear
just ended show that the agricultural
element Of the country has enjoyed a
greatly improved condition during the
past year, while other statements are
equally gratifying as to the prospects
Of the coming year. The expectations
Of breadstuffs during the year ending
June 80, 1897, amounted to Sls9, Sas. 1928
In value against sl36, Sag, s45 in the fis.
cal year ending June 80, 1896, and
el1O, 967, 75S in the fiscal year ending
Juno 30, 1895. This is an increase of
%, O0O, 600 in the pockets OF farmers
in the year just ended for breadstufrs
alone, - compared with the preceding
year, and an increase Of $4,000, 900
compared with the year 1896. The
expectations Of cattle for the fiscal
year just ended amounted to about

Several counties in the state have
refused to pay over to the state treas
urer the $3.50 required by the new law
from every retail liquor license fee.
Attorney General Grigsby, began some
time ago mandamus proceedings to
compel this payment from Hutchinson
county, and Tuesday the supreme
court granted the writ. This was re-
garded by all parties interested as II
test case, SO that the payment will
probably be no longer resisted on the
part of the counties.
