The extraordinary condition
which the count of ballots re
veals as to the governship in the
late election indicates either
serious mistakes, fraud, or d
most wonderful popularity on
the part of Gov. Lee, which
would induce 5000 voters to
vote only for Lee, leaving the
the rest of the ticket blank. A
correspondent at Mitchell says:
The republican state central com
mittee. through its chairman, G.. n.
Herred. has taken the preliminary
steps to contest the election of Gov
Lee. 1t is the purpose of the republi-
cans to institute legal contests IN II
number of counties where there is
known to have been error, if not
fraud. There has been some great
error i'll casting the ballot or III count
ing it. there is 10 doubt Even the
pOpullsts themselves are at a loss to
account for the large vote for Gov.
Lee, except OH the theory that there
has been ballot box stutfing some
where. They declare positively that
the theory that 5000 voters cast their
ballots for Lee ana not for the balance
of the state ticket is absurd. To have
done this would have been to throw
away 5000 votes for the fusion ticket.
and this is a piece of generosity that
will hardly be credited to the pop
ulists.
Hints are made that large num-
Der Of ballots bearing only the name
of Gov. Lee, and stamped with a
counterfeit official stamp have been
found among the ballots in a number
precincts. If this is true an average
of three such ballots to precinct
would accomplish just such a condi-
tion of affairs as now exists. Quite a
counted by the judges and clerks of
election but have been marked and
is on the strength Of these ballots that
the republicans hope to show that
being reelected. AS an indication
! that fraud was practiced by stuffing
the ballot, it is alleged that it is
known who had the counterfeit
official ballot stamps made and where
they were manufactured. Another
conclusive evidence of fraud is the
discovery Of more ballots in the box
in two precincts than were delivered
to the clerks prior to election, while
other instances whole packages OF
blank official ballots are missing, and
could have been distributed in adloln-
ing precincts for the purposes OF
fraud. In three counties the ballot
bears Lees name in three places, and
wherever marked more than once,
they were counted more than once'
This is one Of the results of the
changes in the Australian ballot law
that was made two years ago, and il
is now said by some lawyers that the
courts may hold under this law that
the ballots shall be counted as mark
ed. In any event it seems that the
Australian system of voting in South
Dakota will soon be abandoned OF
perfected to such an extent that the
ignorant voter cannot make mistakes

first adopted here it nullified the vote

A Hard Task.
(Fairbrother's FarragO.)

Some Philanthropic gentlemen or
firm of Philanthropic gentlemen are
now sending, free, t. many places,
neatly printed pamphlet which un-
dertakes to prove by pleasant argue
ment, all one-sided, that cigaretts
are not injurious: that they do not
produce insanity and are altogether
delightful trifles, which have been
much abused.
Maybe they are-but the dwarfed
and debauched victims of them
hideous and repulsive-prove that
the book is a lie. The discolored
fingers and emaciated countenances
of the cigarette fiends-the young
boys growing into mans estate is
unmistakable evidence of the deadly y
work that is being wrought-and
brand the cigarette as the one al
mighty blight that befell mankind.
Whiskey and opium, God knows
are bad enough-but the subtle Gig
arctic preys upon childhood; wrecks
the mental aud physical forces OF
youth, and when those forces are
dwarfed or stunted. the result is de-
generacy and abandonment of al
moral power. When boys yet il
knee pants will lie and steal to ge'
those .cot1in nails" thoughtful peo
pie NAV we'll shudder as they con
template the inevitable result upon
the next generation. 1t will be
hard task for any hired liars-no
matter if peerless adopts in their
business, to prove that the cigarette
is not harmful and injurious.

SO, 900 or $4,000 men. If decisive
blow is to be struck, it cannot be
struck too hard. That is the only
way to shorten the war.
In view of this probable radical
change in what was supposed to be
the policy of the Government for the
conduct of the war, it is gratifying
to know that in the opinion Of some
medical experts at least, the dangers
to the health of our troops, even
during the hot and sickly season
may be greatly diminished by proper
food and proper sanitation. The
Spaniards who are ignorant of, or at
least disregarded the most ordinary
rules OF hygiene in their dwellings
and their homes, even in their finest
cities, have suffered, it is believed in
their crowded camps and garrisons,
more from these causes than from
the yellow fever itself. Bad lodging,
bad water, bad food and general neg
lect have swelled enormously the
lists of mortality among the Spanish
troops.

At the beginning of this century
the greater part Of the two Americas
was under the practical domination
of Spain. But by successive revolu-
tions her American colonies have
fought for and won their independ-
ence, and the closing years of the
century will mark the disappearance
of the Spanish flag from this hemis-
phere. The history of Spanish rule
has been from beginning history one
of misgovernment and failure. Spain
has displaced barbarism only to prove
to the unfortunate populations she
conquered and plundered that hei
form of civilization was more accursed
and intolerable.
