State Treasurer Schamber's bien-
NAL report is out, and the letter of
transmittal which accompanies it
gives a concise statement of the fin
ancial affairs of the state as follows:
Although this Office is obliged to
register warrants drawn on the gen
eral fund, the present financial con-
dition of the state is extremely graft
flying to me.
At the close of the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1899, the total bonded
indebtedness of the state amounted
to sos, 800, none of which was due,
but though the persistence of this
office the holders of three blocks of
bonds, all bearing 4 per cent interest
and aggregating $4,000, we're in
duced to surrender them, thus saving
the state the payment of ten years
interest, which would have amounted
to the sum of $4,000 had they been
allowed to mature. The entire bond
ed indebtedness of the state July /,
1900, was S613 800. There are now
funds in the treasury belonging to
the bond interest and sinking fund
to the amount of $72,4SS,91, leaving
a net bonded indebtedness of $780,
811,09.
In conclusion, would respectfully
suggest that your excellency point
out to the Legislature the necessity
of enacting a more stringent revenue
law, such as will insure a more equit-
able assessment throughout the estate
In this connection permit me to call
your attention to the assessment re-
turns throughout the state as return
ed by the county boards of equali-
cation, and particularly to that of
Lawrence county, which is a mining
county and the richest in the state,
whose assessment of money and
credits is only 1920, while the re-
turns fIom Hutchinson, a purely
agricultural county, shows money
and credits to the amount of $685.

Mr.. Quay will have a formidable
rival for the Pennsylvania United
States senatorship in Peter A. b.
Widener. Mr.. Widener is a very
wealthy man and a trust magnate,
but also a man of benevolence. His
gifts to the public have been so great
as to win for him the reputation OF
being a philanthropist. He has had
no experience, and this is where
Quay may get the advantage OF him.
Minneapolis Tribune.
The usually correct Tribune is
vastly in error in stating that Peter
A. B. Widener has had no experience
in politics. On the contrary, he is
a past master of political methods,
second in ability in Pennsylvania
only to NJ. S. Quay. He has grad
uated successfully from division,
ward, city and state politics and now
seeks to enter the national arena as
L. S. Senator. He became a million
aire through street railway invest
ments and if the Reporter remembers
Alright has held both city and state
office. He certainly is no novice in
politics.

Tammany could do more towards

A not infrequent way of estimat-
ing the population of a town has
been by multiplying the number of
voters by four. We understand that
the new census gives the population
of Milbank and Webster at about the
same figures, but according to the
vote test there will be quite a diver
gence in favor of Milbank. For in
stance the total vote of Milbank was
$3.50, which multiplied by four would
place the population at 1,544. The
total vote of Webster was 260, which
by the same test would place the
population of that city at 1,040. 1t
would be a matter of interest to know
just how this divergence in the vote
test occurs.-Milbank Herald Adj

John Simmons of Carlyle town

Simmons is one of the most success
full farmers in the county. This year
he raised 1000 bushels of potatoes,
LOO bushels of corn and 1,400
bushels of wheat. The work was all
done with one team and with the
help of a hired man for only about
three months. Besides this Mr..
Simmons has turned off S400 worth
of poultry, eggs, butter and small
produce. He thinks that farming in
South Dakota is profitable and is
thinking of retiring, having made
enough out of the farm to live with
