STATE BOARD MIDDLE.
The present situation on the board Of
charities and corrections will probably
resolve itself into a similar condition as
existed when Gov. Church was appoint
ed The Lee board consisting of three
members out of the five, will claim to be
the legal board, and will be recognized
as such by the heads of the various in
sututlons, while the board of four. three
appointed today, and Mr.. Steere. com
pr1s1ng board Of four will he recor-
nlzed as the legal board by the state
officials. This will, OF course, create a.
clash of authority, which it will take the
courts to settle. The Populist heads Of
the institutions will hold with ex-Gov
Lee, in his position In the matter. When
asked If he considered his late appoint
ments good, he said: Certainly they
are, they are In the line with the Finne-
lud case, and the supreme court will
nave to change its ruling or declare
them good; besides we are entitled II
the places for longer time; we have
only had them for less than two Years. y

HARSH CRITICISM
The Sioux Falls Daily Press comes verv
near calling the legislators a set Of no
boeS. 1t says:
"a majority of the present lower house
are not built on broad gauge They
probably mean well enough, but thew
nave mad few social advantages, and co

GATED nen. They think display of po-
nteness would be an indication of weak
ness, and that courtesy to a political
enemy would in some way disgrace them
When motion was made to present to
ex-Gov. Lee the chair he had &c
cup ll during the session, the more in
Ielngent republicans of the house voted
for it. But there were forty-three wn,o
imagined they were doing a smart thing
by voting the motion down.
Inc Republicans who have had an on
rortunity to associate with people of or
binary culture are chagrined over the re-
suit, and regarded 1t as placing their
excuse it on the ground that the mem
bers who voted in the majority are not
much Up OH etiquette, and were not con-
scious of how other people ~ould view
their action
GOVERNORS SALARY.
1t is rumored that there will be strong
opposition to the bill to increase the SAL
supreme court judges. There is always
strong faction constitutionally opposed
to such measures and, besides, several
members are candidates for iudgeships
and there is a provision in the constitu-
ton to the effect that no member of the
legislature can fill position created by
or the salary of which was, raised by
the legislature of which he was a men,
Der. Hence they and their friends will
also oppose 1t.
