WINGED that the catastrophe TO the
Maine was accidental.
The exchanges of courtesics between
the two governments is considered to
point In the. same direction. The pre-
cautions taken on the arrival of the

across. will stay only short time In
New York. Both are ordered to Ha-

Congressman, Knowles has sent q
wailing communication to the Dead
wood Independent-kicking as usual,
aga inst things generally. Among other
things he seeks to enlighten the people
of this stateson the question as to how
he was Ielected to stay at home. sit is
said" says Mr...Knowles, 'that the ma
tional committee sent $4,000 into our
state to be used exclusively in the in
terests of the republican congressional
ca ndidates." And we suppose Mr..
Knowles would insist that "a large part
of il was used against him because he
lacked quite a good many of getting as
many votes as his colleague, Kelly
But this report about Doodle coming
into the state is about like the libel
against the old soldiers of the Home
who were accused by one paper of re-
ceiving $1,000 from the republican
som mittee-and that therefore, of
course, the Home vote was republican.
What horrid and corrupt thoughts
some people do persist in thinking

FOR LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION

A bill of particular interest to Aber-
deem and to ali cities similarly situated
is n that will permit the city coun-
Gil, upon petition of the regulation
number of property owners, to assess
the cost of sprinkling the streets to
adjoining property, somewhat in the
same manner as taxes are now assessed
for laying watermains and sewers.
This is a small matter, comparatively,
but one that would be a considerable
improvement over the present plan.
At % cents a week, the rate now paid
by the average occupant of q twenty
fve-foot lot on Main street, the annual
charge for street sprinkiing is e6 to g
for those who will stand it. Tuner the
change the cost would be one-half to
one.fourth as much and the work
would be more satisfactory all around.
Aberdeen News.
All right and proper but in speaking
of matters requiring legislation of i'm
portance to cities. like Aberdeen and
Huron and others in the state, why
should not the city council and boards
of education be made to publish full
reports of their official proceedings.
The school tax is the largest tax col.
lected in the state and the money col
lected is spent by few men in each
community and no account is. ever
made to the taxpayers. A little whole.
some legislation in this direction might
be a good thing.-Huronite.

duty, territory falls to us, and the well
fare of alien people require our guild

from the responsibility, grave though
it may be? Can we leave those people
who, by fortunes a and our own
acts are helpless and without govern

destroyed the only government they
had? After destroying their govern
