A Question of Distance.

The question of locating the
seat OF government where the
business of the state can be trans
acted with the least Inconvenience
and expense to the people Of the
state is a simple business propo-
sition which it is to be hoped. the
voters of the state have sense
enough to settle in a business like
way. People who live in the
vicinity of the rival towns will
likely be governed almost wholly
by local considerations, and in
fact the majority of the voters
will be swayed by the mere ques-
ton of distance by railway from
their homes to the one or the
other Of the contesting towns.
This is IL reasonable and valid
consideration and the voter is
fully justified in acting upon it.
From Aberdeen to Pierre by
the North Western it is 201 miles,
and as the trains run now, in
Guiding a lay over of 9 hours and
IS minutes, it takes II hours and
20 minutes to reach the capital.
Returning it can be made in 9
hours and IS minutes. From
Aberdeen to Mitchell by the Mil
waukee it is 1913 miles and as the
trains Il it takes even four hours
to make the trip; returning the
time is twenty minutes longer.
From Aberdeen to Mitchell by
way of the North Western via
Salem, the road is not so direct
nor the connections as close as
could be desired; still it can be
made in 3 hours and SO minutes
less time than it takes to @ to
Pierre, and the distance is
twenty miles less.
If the old friend of the writer,
and fe'low-farmer, who was in
this office the other day and who
gave q very specious reason for
voting for Pierre, were to be I'M
der the necessity of selecting one
town of the several in the county
which he must patronize excln'
sively for all time, METER place
having any advantage as to prices,
he would certainly decide on the
nearest town, especially if the
road to it were more passable
the year around. The same cold
business question co%nfronts hin'
in selecting a town in which his
state business must be done. His
hired man who makes laws for
him at tho capital must be paid
mileage, a mere trife, though, in
comparison with the advantage of
having him as close under the
eye IS possible, sand where his
master "a occasionally go and
inspect his work, with as little
expense as possible and no risk
of being bound from home
a week or more longer than the
period Of absence calculated or.
Also when he is obliged to send
his attorney to the supreme court
he will find that time, hotel bills
and railroad fare will count up in
the expense account.
AS a mere question of distance
to the Brown county voter, it must
be admitted that Mitchell pos
sesses a decided advantage over
Pierre.

An Effective Law.

Iowa has gone one better than the
British liquor license law and con-
demns habitual drunlSards 10 the luna
tic asylum. When the measure passed
it caused but little stir, but within
eight months three hundred alcoholic
patients were under restraint and
treatment. An Iowa dispatch saws
that inebriates continue to flow into
the State asylums at the rate of about
fifty a month, and that an Iowa court
has just ruled that their constitutional
rights are not violated by their deten-
ton. Some OF the inebriates don't
like to be shut up, but the treatment
they get seems to be humane and salu-
tary. Their liquor is stopped and
they have to work on farms and are
encouraged to improve their habits.
When they seem to be curel they are
discharged, and reports say that SO
far, about 75 per cent of the cases have
so resulted.
