Well Said.

St. Paul Globe: This final de-
clination ends the agitation of the
candidacy of Mr.. Cleveland. We
think that he could have been
nominated, and we believe that it
so, he would have been elected.
! Nevertheless, the time has come
for other leaders, who must take
up the burden of party manage
ment for the years to come, and
who will heal the wounds and
Danish the discussions Of the past.
To them and to every democrat
Grover Cleveland, now forever
removed from the active turmoil
and the ambitions of political life,
should represent, as did Samuel
j. Tiiden in the later years of his
life, the great e~xemplar and ideal
of American democracy. He is q
patriot and a stateman, as we'll as
a democrat. The party which he
will never more lead to victory
should cherish with intensest
pride the fact of his devotion,
and should in emergencies turn
to him for counsel as a disinter-
ested, impartial and unselfsh ad-
visor.

A Sad Mistake.

One of the biggest mistakes
the farmers ever made in this
state was voting for the constitu-
tional amendment submitted at
the last general election provid-
ing for changing the rate Of in.
terest on loans of school money
from six to Ave per cent. The
constitution authorized invest
ments of this fund in United
States, state Of South Dakota,
county, municipal and. school
bonds, but only township school
bonds had ever been offered at
six per cent. In this county this
money had been loaned to four
school townships: Detroit, SO, 900;
Revinia, $3.50; Highland, 5000;
New Hope, $3.50. Any city
could float it's bonds in any money
center and had no need to 60 to
the state,
Some people + somewhat in
elined to believe that the, .gontle-
men who loan money in this state
inspired the cry that the rate OF
interest should be reduced and
the half million Of idle money
lying in the treasury sent out to
tighten the burden of taxation.
1t was so plausible that we al
voted for the amendment.
We all know the result. The
school boards of the honrishins
cities Of the state were urged t
sell their bonds to the state as {
matter of patriotism, and to TURF
a deaf ear to better rates offered
in other quarters. The sum O
idfe money that looked 50 larg,
was in a brief time invested il
long time bonds. The city O
Aberdeen took 81. 500, and Gro
ton $4,000. Rates on farm loan
which had been held down to 81,
per cent by the ever presen
school money, bounded upwars
Immediately. Loans are pow be

amendment had not passed the

The city's Gain.

That Aberdeen is an educa-
tional center was apparent to
people coming into tho city on
the morning trains last Monday.
Students living in the country had
all gone home TO spend tbs briefs
Thanksgiving vacation. The con
tingent coming in from the north
on the North Western was half
q coach load or more. In addi-
ton to the resident students it
would be interesting to know how
many families have moved into
the city for the purpose Of taking
advantage o the educational
facifities here. Real estate men
said that during early fall about
the only activity in the real estate
lime was in city property. III is
safe to say that the largest por-
ton Of growth 20 the residence
part Of the city can be placed to
the credit Of the good schools u
Aberdeen. The advantages thus
accruing to q city are Of The most
substantial nature and last aIl Che

WASHINGTON, May l.-Postmaster Gen
eraI Payne today officially brought an IN
terview with w. Tulloch to the attention Oh
Charles Emory Smith, Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, Postmaster
Merritt OF this city and Comptroller Trace
we'll OF the treasury.
Mr.. Tulloch was up to three years ago
cashier of the Washington postofice.
The interview quotes him as saying the
whole tendency Of the POstofhce department
is to convert the Washington city postofice
into a mere bureau Of the department, dis
burse its funds and appoint and promote its
employees; that an Investigation of the ae-
counts Of the Washington postofhce was
begun by an expert Of the comptroller's
ONCE, but was stopped and the expert re-
moved, presumably as a warning to others.
Postofice inspectors who we're aware OF
the existing conditions, the Interview says,
were threatened with removal II they pre-
sumed too much. but Mr.. Bristow stood by
his men and demanded an investigation of
the first assistants Office, which was re-
fused.
Mr.. Payne has asked for a complete re-
port from Postmaster Merritt, including a
list Of all changes made in the Washington
omce during his incumbency and upon
whose order they were made. Mr.. Trace
we'll was told that the interview is a direct
reflection on his once and is asked II there
Is any truth IN the charges. Mr.. Bristow is
directed especially to report on any con-
nection between himself and the postofice
inspectors as mentioned by Mr.. Tulloch.
and Mr.. Smith is asked fi information on
the subject as : matter Of courtesy.
TraoeweII Explains Charges.
Mr.. Tracewell said tonight that it was in
the spring Of 1900 that he decided to loob
into the affairs OF the Washington city
postohce. An expert from his office wal
put 10 work and the papers in the case wer'
brought 10 his Office. They were there per.
haps two months. The Investigation con.
WINGED him that there had been many irreg.
ularities. he would not say frauds, In th'
expenses OF the local postofice. He called
the postmaster's attention 10 them anC
dtsalloWed many items. Matters eventual!
were Strengthened out and on a promise
from the postofhee omeials that the i'm.
proper disbursements would not be con
tinued ne retrained from falling back Of
