The ST. Louis Appropriation.
APPoRTIoNMENT STANDS.
Legislature Will Not Increase Repre-
sentation From Western Counties.

aNhNA
Pierre, S. D., Feb. Pit is manifest
that this legislature is not to pass an APP
portionment bill. That was settled when
CAROLS bill TO apportion the state came
UP in the house. While it's reading was In
progress Goddard sprung a parliamentary
proposition which is novel in South Da-
kota, but which it was shown to be recog-
nized by Reeds rules. He arose and adj
dressing the chair said: NJ Speaker. 1
demand the consideration" This required
an immediate vote upon the consideration
of the bill and 1t was voted not to con-
slider it by a division of rs to 46.
This action appears to have been prompt
ed by two motives. II is too late in the
session to give such legislation proper
care and again it is almost certainly in
contravention of the constitution which
expressly declares that the legislative APP
portionment shall be made at the first ses-
sion following a federal or state census
and at no other time. The proposition
upon which it is undertaken at this time
is that the result of the federal census
had not been officially certified to the
secretary of state at the date of the close
of the last session and consequently from
the technical point Of view this is the
first session after the last federal census.
In the senate the bill which was there
introduced by Stoddard was treated but
little better; its second reading was
thrown down and it's reference seems like
ly to be the end Of 1t. 1t will in this con-
nection be remembered that at the session
Of 1901 a deadlock between the house and
senate defeated agreement upon an appor-
tionment.
The present a"pportionment made by the
~populists at the session Of 1897 Is a very
unfair one and gives undue advantage to
many small counties which at that date
gave populist majorities, but the repub-
1 49, 800 - l. 4 -.
the injustice was not remedied two years
ago.

NEWSPAPER OBSERVATIONS.

Baltimore American: Twenty years ex-
perience In newspaper work teaches a
man that:
The chap who tries hardest to work a
newspaper for especial favors Is the one
who never spends a cent with 1t, and is
not even a subscriber.
That the one who demands the highest
excellence in typography, subject matter
and quantity of contents does least to
help the cause along.
That the man who kicks most about the
i~naccuracy of newspapers In general Is
the one who does least TO assist in get
ting the facts accurately when he has an
opportunity to do so.
That the man who kicks hardest about
a certain paper hasn't seen a copy Of 1t
for six weeks.
That the man who has 1t In for news
papers in general has had the bitter truth
told about him once by some unusually
frank reporter and has a big sore spot.
That the mar who brings in the longest
obituary of the late deceased was not a
model husband always.
That a woman who declares it's none of
the public's business and she won't talk,
so there, always winds up by giving the
reporter a rafting good story so fast he
can't take IL down in shorthand.
That the man who begs that his name be
left out of the list of DRINKS for fear IL
a ilull lie . lGNllilSb never COLI
sidered that good lady's sensibilitles be-
fore in his life.
That the man who spends most money
with the paper kicks the least.
That If you expect a man to find a com
pliment about himself you must put 1t or
the front page in bold-face type.
That If you put in Il one-line roast IT
nonpareil between two patent medicine
ads. on the steenth page he'll find it and
come hunting the man what writ tn
piece.
that a man protected mercifully in ras.
cality never appreciates 1t, because the
protection only encourages him in being
the sort of reptile he is.
That the paper which tries to please
everybody at once soon pleases its com,
p~etitors by dying.
That the man who spends least money
for advertising expects more returns thar
the man who spends most.
That those who p%atronize the paper!
systematically and persistently are tn,
most level-headed and reliable citizens o.
the community.
The shysters are the sworn enemies o.
newspapers, thereby testifying eloquently
TO the respectability of the craft.
That the solemnest man always turn
first to the jokes.
That the man or woman who hate.
those petty little personals always turn
10 that page first.

CAPITAL REMOVAL
MAY Be RE0PENED
Resolution to Rescind the Re.
submission Measure Is to
Be introduced.
MITCHELL HOLDS SENATE
Supporters of the Would-Be Capital
Believe the Upper House Is I'M
pregnable-St. Louis Fair
Appropriation Talk.

Pierre, S.. D., Feb. 27.-The whole
question of capital remova resubmis-
sion has been reopened, and the agita-
ton is on in full blast. The Pierre peo-
pie have taken advantage of develop
ments, and with the aid of powerful
lobby interests which they have been
hble to help, hope to pass a resolution
TO rescind resubmission.
1t is probable a resolution rescind-
ing resubmission will go into the house
today or tomorrow. 1t is not reported
how many will support the proposition,
but Pierre has been out with a paper
securing pledges for several days, and
it is announced that sufficient pledges
have been secured to carry the resolu-
ton. 1t is learned hat thirty-nine
members OF the house participated in
caucus Tuesday night, and all
pledged to rescind.
Mitchell men consider h senate in
vulnerable. 1t is agreed that the anti
compact bill shall be reported in the
mate today and made a special
order for Friday. The senate ways and
e committee has killed CARROTS
revenue bill, creating a state board of
assessments.
The ST. Louis Appropriation.
Thirty-ive members of the house met
in caucus yesterday to consider the
st. Louis appropriation. The caucus
was addressed by j. S. Crawford, e
position commissioner. 1t was agreed

an appropriation of $35, 900 and to erect
a corn palace at st. Louis.

IN BAD RIVER DISTRICT.
Cattle on the Range Suffered From
Cold Snap.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 2I-Reports are not
the most satisfactory on the range along
Bad river. TIL long continuation of the
snow had placed the cattle in poor condi-
ton to stand the severe cold, and there
were losses from that source, but stock
owners in that section say if they get
warm weather TO clear the range and give
their stock a few days to recuperate be-
fore the spring storms, they will yet come
cut in fair shape.
From the range north Of Bad river and
especially along Cheyenne river comes a
Inherent report. In that section the snow
fall was not nearly so heavy as il was
on the range farther south, and the warm
weather III January practically cleared
the range.

was the remark made by a farmer from
the vicinity of LangdOn, North Da
kota, when he arrived in Winnipeg
Manitoba, the capital of Western Can
ada, a few days since. He was the
advance guard of a large body who are
following him, and he has already in
vested in several farming sections fol
himself and others and purposes &c
take up his permanent abode in this
country. He went on to say: Hun.
dreds are coming from my district

many Of them are neighbors of mine
The chief topic of conversation with
the farmers Is the coming immigra'
ton in the spring"
The impression general in the part
of Dakota where | live that farmers
can get from 10 TO 10 cents more a
buShel for wheat on the American side
Of the line than OH the Canadian has
not prevented people from turning theil
eyes to Canada as a place to live in,
They know they can get land in this
country which is every bit as fertile
as that in Dakota at about one-quarter
the price. 1t is safe to say that the
exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations Of all
Canadians"

Prospect of Coal in Eovnt.

In u remarkable speech delivered the
other day at Khartoum, Lord Cromer
made some striking observations as to the
future Of the Upper Soudan. One great
obstruction to the development Of Egyp-
tian industry, he said, was the high price
Of coal. At Khartoum 1t was recently &c
a ton. He added, however, that he had
recently heard that there was great pros
pect of finding good coal south of Khar-
u such a discovery would be of
greater value than the fnoing Of gold. 1t
would materially alter the whole problem
of the development of the Soudan."
