DIVORCE IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Reports have come from South Ia
kota recently asserting that reform
IN the divorce law of the State would be
effected at the present session of the
legislature, but correspondent of the
New York Evening Post intlmates that
this result is by no means certain All
the churches and moral social iDfiu-
ences are in favor of relieving the State
from its stigma as the Mecca If per-
sons of ALL classes who want a divorce
and can not get 1t where they belongs
1t appears, however, that the reform
sentiment while quite strong Is OPP
posed rather bitterly by certain profes-
sional and commercial interests There
are hundreds of lawyers who make
more out of divorce practice than they
would be likely to make If it were dis
couraged, but the most effective oppo-
s1tion comes from the merchants and
landlords of the cities who profit by the
divorce seekers who, as a general lule,
live high and spend freely,
1t is said, though the figures seem
very large, that if the easy divorce
laws of the state are really reformed
South Dakota's business will fall off
from % to 40 per cent. Tho sojourners
are expected to pay, and do pay, extra
ordinary prices for rents and for what
ever they require Many of them are
deliberate perjurers They are obliged
to make oath that they have taken up
their residence in the state and intend
remaiag there permanently, when
they intend leaving for good as soon
as their papers are signed, often hav-
ing their trunks packed for starting be-
fore they make the oath A portion of
them lead VIGOROUSLY loose lives while

The Chicago Chronicle was quoted in
yesterdays Post as repeating an asser-
ton by ex-Secretary Hoke Smith that
the South "neyer did believe in free sill
yer and that the adyocacyof that measure
by the leaders in 1896 was unauthoriz
ed" This is rot, without any basis of
fact. The ''leaders" taught the South
to believe in free silver, From Mr..
Carlisle down to Hoke Smith himself,
for several years before the struggle OF
1896, the leaders" had preached free
silver and the South had come to
warmly indorse their views. When
that issue was fercely fought out before
the people IN their conventions and
the primaries of 1896, would the South
have sent strong free silver delegations
to Chicago if it had not believed in free
silver ?-Houston Texas Post

Georgia farmers should not be misled
by the cotton corner in New York.
The price set there was for cotton to be
delivered in New York by the end of
January and had no bearing on the
general market. Spectators had con-
tracted to deliver what it was impossi-
BILE for them to obtain, and few sharp
fellows took advantage of the situation
and demanded the actual cotton, The
staple was not to be found at that point
and 1t could not be brought from the
South in one day. therefore the man
who had gone ''short" had to pay big
premium to get out of his contract
