1t is told of the senatorial mnddle at
Pierre that ii the Democrats would
nominate Bartlett Tripp the Rerubli-
cans would see that he was elected sena-
tor. Without knowing definitely Trips
views on the money question aud in
view OF the strong probability of his be-
ing gold man, this wonld be very
extraordinary thing for the Democrats
to do. The Democrats as we'll as the
Popnlists were sent to Pierre to elect a
free silver senator. The selection of
Bartlett Trip, IN comparison with whom
men like Kyle, Pickler and Pettigrew
are pigmies, would he consummation
devOntly to be wished were it not IL qups-
tiOn of issues instead of men. The stu
alton is n peculiar one, in that while the
Democracy OF the state for the tirst time
finds itself IN position TO be represented
in the United States senate, it has in its
free silver declaration ostracized its only
available men.

The Wheeler railroad bill passed both
houses Of the legislature without dis
enting vote Republicans, Democrats,
free silver Republicans, midhle-or-lhe-
roadcrs and mngwumps all voting for
1t. 1t was a bandwagon that caught
them all. The bill fxes tho passenger
rate at 3 cents mile, reduction from
the present rate Of 25 per cent. The
railroad commissioners have the power
to regulate the freight tariff. The bill
is almost an exact copy of the Iowa law,
which is said TO b. iron-clad and court
proof. 1t is undoubtedly Il very good
measure-for what everybody Says must
be true-bnt its benefits are largely over
estimated and many Of them will prove
to be more imaginary than real.

Pettigrew is very particular in seeing
that he is not classed as Populist by
the senate clerks, reporters and Wash
ington correspondents and insists that
"Independent' be placed after his name.
Yet, recent developements in this state
show that the Populists regard him as a
regular tin god on wheels. The Popullst
party Of South Dakota will tumble so far
one Of these days that it won't know
where it is at.

lie would vote for the printer There
appears to be al effort at this session to
pass some kind of measure whereby
the Popullst newspapers can find richer
picking. The lnstigators should bear in
mind, however. that the laws of this
state are not supposed to he made to fit
any particular class OF newspapers or
any certain element Of population. The
Populist newspapers have exactly the
same rights and opportunities to secure
legal printing as Democratic newspapers
and under any law that can be devised
the Democratic and Republican news
papers would have an equal chance with
the Popuiist newspapers. This applies
particularly to the present law defining
a lega! newspaper. A newspaper that
cannot live upon its merits as u news
paper twelve months without the aid of
official patronage never ought to have
an existence. The present law whereby
three newspapers publish tho proceed
ings of the commissioners at one-third
legal rate each is the most satisfactory
of any similar law in the United States.
and has so proved itself to be. Tie laws
regulating legal printing are all right
as they are and should be let alone.
