To Assess Mining Property.

A Pierre dispatch says: Represent
ative Sweet today introduced in the
house a bill providing for the assessment
of mining property. The mines of the
Black Hills are assessed as lands and
the big stamp mills, reduction works
and smelters are now listed as mactin.
cry 1t has been estimated that the
mile square covering the great Hon
stake mine should pay as great an
amount OF taxes as the most populous
agriculture, county in the state, and the
method of making assessments be re-
vised. A well known Black Hills miner
declares that the mining companies
have fought against such measure for
years and that this movement will he
the means Of bringing to Pierre all the
mining corporations attorneys in efforts
to defeat the proposed plan.
Commenting upon the above measure
the Deadwood Times submits the fol-
lowing: "a bill was introduced on
Friday last in the lower house Of the
South DAKOTA legislature to change the
mode of assessing mining property.
Representative Sweet introduced the
measure and there appears to be quite
a strong sentiment prevailing regarding
this among the legislators. This is a
subject which has received the attention
of the legislators in all the mining states
and territories of our country to a
greater or less degree for all time. 1t
is a straw that has been thrashed over,
time and time again without any benefit
whatever. The opinion prevails that
the object of the bill is sort of black
mail scheme upon the Homestake prop
critics, for II 10 we'll known that there is
at Pierre an individual, resident of the
Hills who has sworn eternal vengance
against tha. company and all its inter.
ests. He would, if possible, kill the
goose that has laid the golden eggs"

A Moderate Demand.

, The manufacturers of the country are
generally in favor of moderate tariff
duties. This ia shown by the action of
the representatives Of the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers, who adopted
a resolution declaring that duties should
be made consistent with adequate pro-
lection of our manufacturing and agri-
cultural industries and the labor they
employ. 1t is true there were members
OF the convention who favored high
duties. but they constituted a small mi
nority. In thus putting themselves on
record as favoring only such duties as
will give reasonable protection to indus
tries and labor, the manufacturers have
disarmed criticism and put themselves
in position to exert an Influence upon
congress and the country. Their mod
crate demand will have the effect 10

may not be easy to define what duties
are consistent with adequate protection

can understand tha. they are not such
duties as are provided in the existing
tariff law. These, few schedules ex-

being Hon. II. Clay Evans of tennessee,

PIckler Pleased,

There was no change in the senatorial
baloting on Tuesday, says Pierre dis
patch. Kyle gained three votes and
Loucks gained two, while Pickler NOM
entarily grasped ray of hope, David
Morgan, of McCook, a Populist, during
the roll call voted for Pckler. There
was great futtering among the Populists
and visions of Mark Hanna rose before
them, but they were dissipated when
before the announcement of the vote
Morgan changed back to Kyle: The
vote stood: Pckler, 4S; Kyle, 2S /;
Goodykoontz, l3; Loucks, 10; Plowman,
10; Bowler, 4; kellar. l Palmer, l..
The Democrats held another caucus this
morning. The strongest efforts have
been made in the past 10 days to draw
the Democrats away from Kyle and
consolidate them behind Bowler. At
the session this morning lively time
was had. Eight were present and ex.
pressions were so vigorous that vote
was not asked tor. Only four Of the 20
Democrats could be worked into the
plan.

The Henry Independent dishes up
the following sparkling and significant
pen portrait Of Judge Palmer of Sioux
Falls. former republican, now recog.
nized pop leader in the state senate :
Judge Palmer, the renegade repubi-
can apostate, who just now apparently
has the state senate in his vest pocket,
is doing everything in his power which
q foxy and cunning disposition can
devise, to keep his name before the
public. Palmer is one of those ducks
who crave and must have notoriety. 1t
does not matter to Palmer, particularly,
what sort Of notoriety it is, whether
commendabie or otherwise, it is neces-
sary to his health and to the gratfica-
ton of his vanity. He is artfnl, and
utterly INSCRIPTIONS. lie is openly
admitted by his party friends to be the
paid representative of the wholesaing
interests of Sioux Falls. He is a man Of
absolutely no principles or convictions.
The writer had, until his disgusting
fasco at Aberdeen, considerable conf
dence in Judge Palmer, but his most
treacherous and damnable conduct there
marked him an arch hypocrite. He is
selfshness personified. Pettigrew, who
has kicked him into the mud and trampl-
ed on him for years, and who knows the
peacock character of the demagogue
better than anyone, snatched whatever
little thunder the ward had in reserve
when lie took the wind out of his anti
railroad balloon in the last campaign.
Pettigrew will allow the little gilt and
tinsel, fuss and feathers, egotistical
jackass to parade his curly locks. and
disturb the ambient air of the senate
chamber for a session, and then he will
crack him on the Uranium and throw
him into the musty political rubbish
pite again, where he has kept him for
the past two decades

The Pops Excited.

A wild furor prevailed among the
pops in the legislature on Monday last,

oils Journal For several hours they
believed that Pickler had been elected
senator and there was great scrambling
and recriminations The constitution
provides that no Judge shall he eligible
to another Office during his term either
before the legislature or the people, and
that all votes for him shall be void. A
few days ago in joint assembly l24 votes
were polled. Powman. judge in the
eighth district received Is votes. II
these were void there were only LOG
legal votes and Of these Pickler receiv-
ed "a or a majority. When this was
discovered there was great running to
and fro and caucusing but an examina-
ton of law cooled the excitement. The
best lawyers looked the matter up and
found that federal statutes and de
cisions are all alike, holding that state
constitutions have no jurisdiction in the
matter Several cases precisely like
Judge Plowman's were found with de-
cisions always alike.

ton from one to ten thousand dollar
notes brought to Pierre so that the

Of their record Governor Lee is also

There is- now fair prospect says the
st. Louis Globe Democrat, that the re.
publicans will be able to get their tariff
bill through the senate. Pritchard, who
has been re elected in North Carolina,
leans toward free silver, but he is a
straight out republican on the tariff
question. Some of the senators from
the Rocky mountain region are also
expected to vote for the tariff bill with
out asking for any favors for silver
in return. The Teller malcontents
and irreconcilables will hardly number
more than four or five at the utmost.
Thus they will not be very powerful for

special to the Omaha Bee, and reveals
the fact that Postmaster Draper's short
age is S4,S23.S7. His bondsmen have

men have about $3,200 Of the money,
which Mr. Draper abstracted from a
registered package, which is available
for application on the shortage. They
hope to retain one eff their number as

folly to expect that such agreement
could be effected between the leading

that he was the only one Of the socalled

experiment for fear it might be effective.
