BILLS WITH SINISTER AIMS
TWO NOW PENDING IN THE LEGIs-
LATURE APPEAR OPEN TO
CRITICISM
EACH FOR A SPECIAL END
Look Like Special Legislation, Since
Their Application VIII BE
Limited to Ransom
County.

LISBON, N. D., Feb. TO- Especial -One
Of the peculiar modes adopted in Ransom
county by the leading Republicans when
they wish to get rid of an Objectionable
officer or lessen his power, is to get spe-
cial legislation to carry out their objects.
when other means fail On the other
hand political favorites are often lavish
ly rewarded from the Golfers of the tax
payers by the same means. There are
now two bills pending in the legislature
at Bismarck, tending directly in this d.
recuon, both fathered by the lightning
machine man of the Sheyenne valley
Senator Sanborn. These bills may be all
right, too, but their operations will be
practically limited to Ransom county
alone. The first one is to permit the
judge of the county ccurt-which court
In said county has extended Jurisdiction
to try and determine civil and criminal
causes--to practice as an attorney and
counsellor at lava privilege not now
accorded.
The other bill, recently introduced, is
aimed directly at the official head of the
secretary of the board of managers of the
soldiers home at Lisbon, who, it is said
incurred the enmity of one of the Lis
bon Republican factions a few years
since.
Frank Russell has been secretary Of the
board for many years, in fact, ever since
the institution was opened, at salary OF
$500 per year. The board holds but few
meetings, and the office has been gener-
ally considered as sinecure, and given
more for faithful political services than
for any real necessity. The bill now pend
ing gives the present secretary the grand
political bounce, and bestows the Office
upon the commandant OF the home at
largely increased salary. While its pas
sage will reward the present commandant
for what is said to be peculiar but eff
fective' political services, the real motive
is to get rid of the present incumbent of
the office, and pave the way for pushing
another favorite henchman into the snug
= little job of bosSing the old veterans at
the home later on
w. w. McIllvaine, the present COM
mandant of the soldiers home, made his
first step in state off1cialdom during the
Shortridee administra ton, when through
the influence of his friend w d. Brown
then president of the state bank of Lis
bon, and the principal leader in Ransom
county in the Populist party he was ap-
pointed member of the soldiers home
board, from which he stepped into his
present easy snap, and afterwards forgot
his political friends, and made terms
which has kept him in power ever since.
It's we'll, since he comes possessed of
these necessary political qualifications
that such virtue shall be rewarded and
those who bend the pregnant hinges Of
the knee that thrift may follow fawning''
should not be required to go a-begging
and 1t IS safe to say they will not.

ON THE BERLIN BoERsE.
Excellent Conditions Have Prevailed
During the Week,

BERLIN, Feb. 10.-Not for months past
has the Berlin boerse experienced such
excellent conditions as obtained last
week. The upward movement in domestic
government funds gained, considerable
momentum, particularly Saxon threes
which rose during the week IL pigs. on
imperials which rose 1870; Prussians
which rose 120, and treasury As, which
rose 20 pigs. All other German funds
were firm. Foreign buying was the fea-
ture of the week, particularly Argen-
tine. In foreign shares the chief adj
vance was in Transvaals which rose 20Ih
pigs
The market for American railway
shares was firm, but more quiet Even
coal and iron shares, in spite of the I'M
favorable market reports, were firm.
The general frmness of the market
is variously explained. The Vossfsche
Zeitung sees the chief cause in the two
great finance transactions involving the
Southern Pacific railways and the great
steel combination.

COUNTY INSANE ASYLUMS
CITIES TO FIX RENTAL, RATES ron
PUBLIC UTILITIES.

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 1O.-(Specia1 "A
bill is being prepared and will be intro-
duced shortly providing for county insane
asylums, where 1t is so desired by the
county, and placing them under the con-
troll of the state board of charities and
corrections. 1T is not likely that any
county in the state can save anything bv
this move, and especially the counties
with small representation at the asyium
would find the expense far heavier than
they would under the present system,
and it is doubtful whether any county in
the state would find it saving.
The Redfield school for feeble-minded
will ask the appropriation committee for
practically $4,000 for the biennial period
covered by the appropriations of this
session. Forty thousand of this viii
be for the first year, and will include
the cost of getting into operation. and
the rest will be for the cost of running
for the next year.
Two measures introduced will cause a
great deal of discussion If they ever
get to a vote. The ore providing for
the fixing of rental. rates for telephone,
water; gas and electric light service bv
city officials. which. is a radical move
and ole which would cause a. stirring up
among the owners of such franchises in
the various cities OF the state In this
city it would makes but little difference
as. the water, gas, and electric light
privileges are already controlled by the
municipality and the telephone rates are
very low being but $12 per year for
residences, and $50 for business houses.
The other, which provides for a con-
stitutional amendment to allow the in
curing of an additional 10 per cent in
debtedneSS, in addition To the nraSan%
8 per cent limitation fixed by the con-
stituion, for the purpose Of allowing
cities to own their own street car lines;
and putting in water works and sewage
systems, is one which, if presented to the
people and carried, would allow a number
of towns to engage in municipal improve
mcnts which are now hampered by being
in debt practically up to the present
limit, or so near to it that there is not
enough margin left to leave them any
sufficient sum to work with in any OF
these lines.

sheriff and friends of the judge The ac-
ton of the commissioners has not tended
to harmonic things any, and there are
speculations as to what will be the next
move in the game being played between
the sloRe leaders.
In addition to this, Attorney General
Comstock issues Proclamation No. 3, this
time an informal one, to tell violators of
the prohibition law that he means what
he said In Proclamation No. which was
official and regularly issued. This an
nouncement of the states chief legal off,
Ger was called forth by the rumor that
violators Of theglaw. believing that the
attorney general was ''bluffing," were
preparing to begin business again. The
attorney generals second notice includes
Mandan and ALI places in the state as
places where the lightning Is likely to
strike if the law is not lived up to- It Is
claimed by the men who closed up their
places in Bismarck that LIQUOR resorts
are running in Mandan, just across the
river, and that the effect of the attorney
generals order was merely to transfer
the base of supply.
