A peculiarly interesting case was de-

which gave the fortune Of q we'll

Of his widows dover rights therein.
In the argument It was developed that

The election of n senator to repre-
sent South Dakota in the highest g
~islative body in the world is one or he
most important duties devolving upon
this legislature. We are living Ii a
period in the history Of u country
which imperatively demands the high
est order Of craftsmanship. Problems
of international importance are press
ing for solution. In the drama or
world politics our country, the most
civilized and powerful, must play its
part. 1.-The Oriental and Occidental
civilizations have met face to face, and
the future constitution and ideals or
society are in the balance" The ques-
tons to be solved involve not merely
commerce and industry, but the deeper
interests OF civilization
No question ever before the people
of this state aroused such q profound
interest. In the selection Of a man to
represent this great commonwealth. |
believe you will ch%eerfully obey the m
perial mandate of the people, who
have directed the selection Of some
one worthy of the high honor, inspired
with the splendid and progressive
views of the president and rejecting
the patriotism and the Intelligence of
the people of South Dakota.
CHAPLAIN FOR PENITENTIARY.
One Of the chief characteristics OF
the nineteenth century has ben the pro-
found determination to right the
wrongs and alleviate the sufferings of
humanity. To this. powerful influence
we may attribute the prison reform
work and other radical changes in
methods for dealing with the unfortu-
nate and criminal classes. Society, as
a matter of self-preservation, as well
as from feelings of ~benevolence, justly
consider as among it's solemn obliga-
tions the moral development of its
members and the reformation of its
criminals.
The duty on the part of the state to
prevent a crime, If possible, or to
punish the criminal, is no more sacred
than that the criminal should be re-
claimed. If so, the state should adopt
such means as will most directly tend
to eradicate wrong habits, cultivate
and strengthen moral and religious

OF senator's and REPRESENTATIVES, Tor
the legislative assembly is one Of the
duties devolving upon this legislature,
MOI only by the terms OF the constl-
tuition, but by a sense of fairness n
business. The partisan inequality or
the existing law is most fragrant. II
stands as a monument on inquiry. Let
the new apportionment be what the
constitution directs, and the people ex-
pect According to the number or In
habitants"-in order that the people of
every county may secure the represen-
tation in the legislature to which they
are Justly entitled. Proportionate rep
resentation is a principle which under
lies our system Of government.
THE PARDoNING POWER.
The pardoning power is a conse-
ouence of, "the imperfection OF law
and human nature" A person may be
convicted Of a crime on false testl-
mony. After sentence by the court.
the falsehood may be discovered, but
the court cannot reverse its decree.
Reprieyes may become necessary or ex-
pedient on account Of doubts of guilt,
arising from the discovery OF new tes-
timony after sentence and before exc
cution, or considerations of public pol
icy demand an exemption from punish
'ment. The pardoning power exists
and was conferred by the constitution
upon the governor, not for exercising
his tenderness of heart, but to further
the ends Of justice. OF late years
there has been an increasing tendency
towards executive clemency. resulting
Tn gross abuse Of this important pre-
rogative. A convict with numerous
friends and abundance Of means,
promptly begins preparations for Sc
curing a pardon after he has had a fair
trial, and his guilt has been legally
established.
The governors office becomes an APP
pellate court, where the case is retired,
largely in the nature OF an exparte
proceeding. The victim may be slum-
bering in a forgotten grave. Human
sympathy is apt to be with the living
rather than the dead. Or the injured
is persuaded to join the forces ap-
pealing for sympathy, not justice, ig-

gard to our currency and credit None

were inadequate to meet the current OBJ
legations OF the government. Now they
are sufficient for all public needs, and

congress In extraordinary session TO
devise revenues to pay the ordinary eX-
penses Of the government, Now have
! the satisfaction to announce that the
congress Just closed has reduced tax
alton in the sum Of forty-one millions
Of dollars. Then there was deep solici-
tude because Of the long depression In
our manufacturing, mining, agricultur-
al and mercantile industries and the con-
sequent distress Of our laboring popu-
lation. Now every every avenue Of
production is crowded with activity;
labor is we'll employed and American
products find good markets at home and
abroad.
"Our diversified productions, however.
are increasing in such unprecedented
volume as to admonish us of the ne
cessity OF stll further enlarglng our
foreign markets by broader commercial
relations. For this purpose reciprocal
trade arrangements with other nations
should In liberal spirit be carefully
cultivated and promoted. The national
verdict for 1896 has for the most part
been executed. Whatever remains un-
fulhled is a continuing obligation rest
ing with undiminished force upon the
executive and the congress.
But fortunate as our condition is,
its permanence can only be assured by
sound business methods and strict econ
omy in national administration and leg
islation We should not permit our
great prosperity to lead us to reckless
ventures In business or protiigacy IN
public expenditures, While the con
gress determines the objects and the

about three hours of that time were
devoted to other business.
At 1l:40 o'clock last night, after the
senate conferees on the river and har-
Dor bill had reported disagreement
Senator Carter began his speech. Ap-
parently IN a facetious vein he began
his attack upon the measure, dencunc-
irg Il as vicious and pernicious legisla-
ton. unwarranted by conditions and
unsound in principle.
Shortly before o'clock Allison sub
nitted a further disagreement on the
sundry civil bill, the item in contention
being the appropriation for the three
expositlons. From this the senate re-
ceded and then passed the st. Louis
exposition bill By a vote Of IS to 10 the
senate receded from the Charleston APP

Carter resumed his speech, finally
announcing at $50 O'Clock that It was
his intention not 10 permit the river

ing that at that moment he was in ex-
cellent physical condition. With the
exception Of a brief intermission while
quorum was being secured. and re-
cess Of hale an hour between 1890 and
II o'clock today, Carter spoke prac-
tically continuously. He yielded the
floor only after the ceremony Of the
induction of Vice President Roosevelt

After Vice President Roosevelt hat
been sworn in, he directed the clerk tC
