Nincty.seven Thousand Men.


The army bill as it passed the Senate
provides for $1,000 regulars. for the en-
listmcnt of $4,000 volunteers in the
Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico, for
the continuance of the volunteer staff,
and for the immediate re-enlistment for
six months OF such volunteers as are
now in the service in Cuba and the
Philippines. The amendment over
which Senator German made so much
noise was simply to limit this %organiza-
ton of the army to two years from
July next. This limitation is of no
great Importance. because If so minded
the Fifty-siXth Congress may pass IL
bin thoroughly recognizing the army
on a basis of 100000 men. The bill as
1t stands gives the President an effec-
tive force Of $1,000 men.

Tendency to Increase Exports.

1t may be said that if Il protective
tariff adds to the wealth of a country,
it also stimulates importations in many
classes of goods because of the ability
to buy abroad. Nevertheless, it proba-
bly, will be true that Il highly produc-
tive country like the United States will
exhibit n constant tendency to increase
it's exports at n more rapid rate than
its imports.-Buffalo Express.

Want No Addition,

The County Commissioners at Aberdeen
voted down the proposition to build an adj

I4ook FOR High Wnter.

The people along Cheyenne River are
looking for high water this spring, from
the fact that the river froze over in the fall
with the water higher than usual at that
time, and the further fact of exceptionally
heavy snow fall in the Black Hills to start
it in good shane.

PASSED BUT NOR APPROVED

teen Measures.
Gov. Lee has vetoed thirteen specific bills
passed by the Legislature. He also cut sew
eral items from the general appropriation
bill. The bills vetoed were: Normal
school for Aberdeen; normal school for
Watertown; permanent appropriation for
State educational institutions: ballot law
to allow a voter who cannot read English
to call assistance in marking his ballot:
ballot law to prevent u name from appear
ing more than once ON the ballot; all of
which were returned to the Legislature,
and which failed to pass over the vetOes.
Beside these he returned vctOes to the Sec
rotary of State after adjournment, on bills
to provide for repositories of State funds:
to prevent illegal voting at caucuses and
primaries; to increase salaries of Governor
and judges; to abolish three days of grace;
to provide for beet sugar bounty: to pay j..
b. McCloud for supplies furnished men and
horses IN Indian uprising: to abolish the
office of insurance commissioner; tOrequire
steam engineers to secure license, and the
items Of Springfield Normal, and expenses

preparation bill.

tracts with the banks: il provides for tenn
porary deposits until bids can be secured
from the banks, and that SO long as there is
no other provision for handling funds en-
cept through the banks, there is no reason
why they should Or would bid al all, and it
is not likely that they would do SO. The
present law allows the Treasurer to make
deposits and secure interest for the benefit
of the State, and a belief is expressed that
lie will do SO. He ends with the following
statement: THE Legislature had an OPP
portunity to pass q good depository law.
Instead, it followed its natural bent, as
shown in nearly everything else, and
passed a vicious and abOrtive one. l shall
not knowingly be a party to the cOnsum-
nation of legislation which has the impress
of total incompetcncyo gross bad faith
The veto of the bill to increase the sal
aries of the Governor and judges of the
Supreme and Circuit Courts is based ON the
ground that the ven Of the State are
not in shape to justify the increased ex-
penditure of $4,000 u year which ii would
cause.
A bounty on beet sugar is disapprOvcd
on the ground that it is a proposal TO tax
the many for the benefit of the few; that q
similar scheme has failed TO be of any ben
eft in Minnesota and Nebraska: that no
fund has been provided for the payment of
the bounty. and III such fund could have
been provided. by failure of the Legislature
to provide sufficient revenue TO run the
State government for the next two years.

The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1899-02-10

Some Of the queer looking actions OF
our republican friends IN the state legis.
lature are the urging of a resolution to
commend Senator Kyle for voting for
the ratification of the treaty and to cen.
sure Senator Pettigrew for voting
against it. This Legislature didn't elect
either of them. Another freak is intro
ducing a bill to create an immigration
commissioner at q salary OF $3.50 a year
while urging a similar bill to abolish the
office of insurance commissioner at
$1,000 a year. The latter brings the
state in a revenu of $4,000; the former
ls all money out of pocket. A still more
ludicrous proceeding was memoralizing
congress to enter into q course of impe-
rialism in the Philippines while signing
a petition to the secretary of wal to send
home the South Dakota soldiers. They
didn't van our boys to rot in that dead.
ly climate which was proper, but they
did want to fasten Imperialism upon
this country that w might keep some
body's else boys rotting there for all
time to come. The Inconsistencies of
the average politician are past explain.

The veto by the governor Of the bills

The veto by the governor Of the bills
locating Normal Schools at Aberdeen
and Watertown on the ground of too
many schools of this character and that
q multiplication Of them is not only an
injury to those already established but a
weakening of the generalsyetem of educa-
ton, is perhaps true in the main, in this
particular instance. That we have too
state and that if We must ave g edu-
cationa! institutions they be OF a differ
ent character, is not So clear. The gov
ernor's thought here may be that normal
schools are ~antagonistio to the Universe
" and the Agricultural college and he
prefers to see those grow in strength to
either the strength or the number Ct the
normal schools. But as to direct bene-
it's &c the people who are paying to sup.
OF the normal schools is vastly greater.
Personal reasons may prevent the gov
ernor from seeing it IN this light, but a
practical study Of the subject should
convince him differently. Had the
Aberdeen bill stood alone there was
hardly q valid objection to it's approval
save that Of safeguarding for the present
during our financial weakness the inter-
ests Of the established institutions. In
this regard the governor is right and it
will be difficult to pass the bills over his
veto. The ~postponement of the vote on
passing these measures over the govern
ors veto until next Wednesday shows
that "a proalglous effort is to be made to
pass the bills over his veto. This is the
same day GU which action is to be taken
on confirming the governors appoint.
ments and in the meantime trades will
be fixed up between the friends OF the
school bills and friends of the governors
appolntees. by which all interested will
get what they want.
