South DAKOTA appears to have adopt
ed a number of freakish constitutional
amendments. One. Of them is in the ma
ture Of initiative and referendum and
provides that when five per cent of the
voters of the state sign a bill and present
it to the legislature, it shall be enacted
into law. Another amendment provides
for the regulation of the liquor traffic by
the state, after the fashion of the South
Carolina ~dispensary law where the state
operates the saloons.

The Fargo Forum has an interesting
account of the rebuilding of Bismarck
since the fire, written by the Forums
traveller, who is astonished at the push
and energy which has rebuilded the
burned district in three months from
the time of the fire. The Forum has yet
to appreciate the full measure of the re-
sourcefulness of the slope. Wait till the
military post and the 500 road material
ize-next spring-and then see the added
improvements.

ments were organized and mustered
into the service We're responsible for
much Of the sickness which was re-
ported in the early days of their camp
life. All military experience shows
that young men under 81 years break
down readily under the
strain OF War Service,
and every regiment had many Of these
youths in its ranks. Medical examiners
were appointed to testify to the physical
qualifications of each man before accept
ance, but, Notwithstanding this, so many
men We're afterwards found on the sick
lists of the camps unfit for service from
causes existing prior to enlistment that
special arrangements had to be made for
their discharge. Soon after the newly
raised lcvies were augmented in large
camps, sickness began to increase pro-
gressively from causes that were so gen
eral in their operation that scarcely a
regiment escaped from their harmful in
fuences. These causes may largely he
referred to ignorance on the part Of Off
Gers of the principles of camp sanitation
and Of their duties and responsibilities
as regards the welfare of the enlisted
men in their commands.
Camp Sites Not to Blame.
1.-THE sites Of certain of the camps
have been instanced in the newspapers
as the cause of the sickness which was
developed in them, but a review Of the
whole situation shows that it was not
the site, but the manner of its. occupa-
ton, which must be held responsible
for the general spread Of disease among
troops.
zone prominent cause for the increase
Of sickness in the army camps has been
commented upon by only a few of our
medical officers. These cite the preva-
1ence Of drunkenness and of venereal
disease due to the facilities and tempta-
tions afforded by the proximity of cities
to the larger camps. They hold that if
the systems Of the men had not been
weakened by dissipation they would
not have succumbed so readily to the
other influence which affected them"

AS A result Of the recent Indian out
break in Minnesota the question of the
transfer of the work of tho Indian Office
to the war department has been revived.
1t is claimed that if the military arm of
the government had exclusive jurisdic-
ton over the Indians, such outbreaks
would be impossible. In March, 1891,
Gen. Miles suggested. that the Sioux
agencies at Pine Ridge and Rosebud in
South Dakota be turned over absolutely
to the military authorities. This was af-
ter the trouble with tho Sioux which
eliminated in the battle at Wounded
Knee and in thc tragic ending of Sitting
Bull. The interior department resented
this suggestion and contended that there
was no law to carry out such a plan, and
that the situation at the two agencies
did not require the exercise of any ordi-
nary power on the part of the executive
to restore and maintain peace and order.
1t will be seen that the agitation for a
return Of the Indian bureau to the war
department is not of recent origin, and
now, rs before, is not likely to advance
beyond the stage of discussion. If a
change is ever made it is more likely
that the idea suggested by Commissioner
Taylor in 1S4S of establishing an indie
pendent department of Indian affairs
will be adopted.

to this country. Nearly every state that
has troops stationed at Manila has asked
through its governor or representatives
in congress that these troops be sent
home. This pressure comes through the
relatives and friends of the volunteers,
and is started by the troops who have
been writing home. Some of these let
tiers, published in the state papers at the
homes of the enlisted men, have created
a wave of sympathy for the volunteers in
far off Manila. While they do not re-
count very great h%ardships, except
among those who are ill, they do show
that life is very obnoxious, and that the
duty of policing the city of Manila and
remaining inactive is very disagreeable.
1t is said at the war department there
is no way of relieving these troops from
duty in the Philippines at the present
time. The uncertain conditions that ex-
list in the Island of Luzon make it ut
terly impossible to get along with a
smaller number than are stationed there
at present. Gen. Otis has been asked by
cable if troops could be spared and has
replied in the negative. The great do
mand that has been made for the muster
out of volunteer regiments or individual
members of such regiments will form
the basis of a strong Recommendation in
the annual message of the president for
an increase in the regular army. This
new force will be needed to take tho
place of the volunteers who desire to
return home and leave the service.

The Nelson County Herald states that
from a knowledge Of instructions,
pledges, preferences, ETC., Congressman
johnson will enter the senatorial race
with q total strength of forty-two or
within five of enough to elect. The
Herald will probably suggest before
long that the congressman be given a
certificate Of election a senator without
the formality Of a ballot. It is extreme
~ probable that the Herald's knowledge
of pledges, preferences, etc., will be en-
1arged.to a great degree when the legis-
lature meets.

peculiar. Thus in tho great states of
the cast-New York, Pennsylvania, Mas
sachusetts and New Jersey-where the
Bryan campaign proved a wholesale fail.
ure, the democratic gains this year were
disagreeably marked and general. TWEEN
'ty four seats in'the house were lost by
the Republicans in these four common
wealths. Of the four border states car
ried by President Mckinley in 1895 only
one, Delaware, showed a republican
gain in the house this fall; six seats were
lost in Maryland, Kentucky and West
Virginia. Illinois, too, where the reaction
against Organism was most emphatic
two years ago, returned two moro demo-
Gratis to the fifty-sixth congress than it
did to the fifty-ffth. Indiana and Ohio,
the middle western states in which the
silver forces made their best fight,
showed, on the contrary, no iuctuation
of sentiment whatever, returning prac-
'tically the same delegations to congress
as in 1896. In the far west, similarly,
the drift toward republicanism proved
strongest in the particular states in
which the party organization seemed to
have suffered the greatest demoraliza-
ton two years ago. Kansas, committed
for nearly a decade to populism, became
again republican, sending only a single
populist to congress out of a delegation
of eight. South Dakota, Wyoming and
Washington, all lost on the f%ree-coinage
issue in 1896, reversed their representa-
ton in the house, while Nebraska,
though electing a delegation unchanged
politically, chose a legislature which will
soon retire her present populist senator,
w. V. Allen to private life.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat says:
Discreet persons will resist the tempta-
ton to write the obituary of the demo-
cratic party at this time, but the tempta-
ton is certainly great. The democracy,
in it's long and crooked career, has often
seemed to. be at deaths door, but it has
never been closer to the graveyard than
it appears to be at this moment. In 1864
it carried only three out of twenty-five
states, but eleven states in the demo-
cratic region were out of the union at
that time, and the democracy had a
reasonable assurance that it would re-
gain most of these when they got back
to their old places. Moreover, the dem
ocracy ut that time had a few able and
courageous leaders, while no men of that
quality are in sight at this moment. In
the places M adorned by such men as
Jackson, Calhoun and Jefferson Davis
there are now Bryan, Bailey, Stone and
Altgeld. Such a fall as this would seem
to portend death, yet the democracy has
broken out of the hands of the grave
digger so often that it may eludo that
parsonage now. 1t is hard to see what
particular good the Bryanites can do in
the world, but in a republic two parties
are necessary, and the democracy is
probably as we'll qualified to play the
role of an obstructionist as any party
could be which would be founded on it's
ruins.

THE editor Of the Troy. Kas.. Times
thus breaks out: Man that is born
of woman is few Of days and full of
microbes. The moment he hits the
earth he starts for the grave, and the
longer be travels the faster be goes.
His visible reward for long years of
labor and nights of walking the floor
with a teething baby is an epitaph
he cant read and u tombstone he
doesn't want. In the first Of the
seven ages OF man he's licked. in the
last he's neglected, and in all the
meddlesome mischiefmaker--a wom-
an who won't tend to her own bust
ness. If he does not marry his first
love he'll always wish he had, and if
he does he'll always wish he hadn't.
Yet no man ever follows freedoms
flag for patriotism with half the en-
thusiasm that he will trail the red !,
white and blue that constitutes the
banner of female beauty. He will
brave the Lion in his den, face the
booming cannon, tread the ocean
foam beneath his feet. and yet will
tremble like a half-frozeu egg-suck-
ing dog when called by his wife to
account for his cussedness. He goes
forth in the morning to pillow the corn
with IA cross eyed mule and roam
steer, works hard all day and comes
home ut night to find his seven half
clothed children hungry rs bears and
no bread in the house, and his wife
over to one Of the neighbours TO Dor
