1t Is pretty near safe to say that John Long
staff of the Huronite, whose advice in republican
Legislative councils has always carried much
weight, can be charged with connivance if moi
actual completely in the passage of the law as now
standing on the statute books regarding the selec-
ton of the official papers of the county. The law.
as passed by the fusion legislature Of 'O6 provided
hat one paper representing the minority party
should be selected. As soon as the republicans came
into power again they struck out the above fair
provision making it necessary for members of the
minority party to go without knowledge OF county
affairs or take an opposition paper.
Now the law places no restrictions on the
county in selecting official papers except that only
one can be selected from the same municipality. #
there are enough papers in the county to enable
three to be selected from Us many different towns.
It watts Il piece of legislation Of the same indie.
tensible class as the law providing for the election
Of county commissioner at large.
Well, it has come to plague one of the in.
%yentors, as because of this unfair law the pub
Usher Of the Huronite has had to foreego the
e~moiuments of the official newspaper. Beadle

The DEMOCRAT, even at the risk Of being con-
sidered rather presumptuous, desires on behalf of
Mr.. Hearst and his many good friends in South
Dakota to thank a large number OF republican
papers in the state for the assistance they have SO
freely given to the Hearst movement. Nothing
could more enlist the sympathy and Jealous sup
port of generous minded democrats than the silly,
scurrilous abuse by them heaped upon q man,
the ~latcflets Of whose shoes these editors are not
worthy to losen. The measliest ~jackdaw in the
bunch has deluded himself INTO thinking he was
witty enough to say something crushingly funny
of Mr.. Hearst. The good services of these
efficient allies, especially the Argus-Leader, should
not be soon forgotten, and to them heartfelt,
thanks are most respectfully rendered.

Citizens of Aberdeen have for years considered
their city as being exceptionally unfortunate as to
an outlet for sewage, dreading the heavy expendi-
ture that must ultimately be made for an adequate
sewer system. The time may not be 50 very re-
mote when the people Of this city will have nc
cause to envy towns located on running streams
which absorb ant: carry away the filth of the sew
airs. Sanitary exigency may compel the abandon
ment Of this easy and questionable method Of dis
posing Of sewage. n time every city in The state
may, like Aberdeen, be compelled to resort Is the
septic tank and filter bed. The M:;zs15sot, stare
board Of health has issued the mandate that the
sewers can not after January 1st, 1905, poison the
he running streams and lakes, thus spreading
Uphold fever and like diseases.

Tho ORIGIN Of NE. md Mr..

In earlier times the ordinary man was
simply William or John-that is to say5 be
had only a Christian name without any
kind of "bandle" before 1t or surname
after 1t, says the Philadelphia Record.
Some means Of distinguishing M John
or William from another John or William
became necessary. Nioknames derived
from q mans trade or his dwelling place
or from some personal popularity wers
tackled on to his Christian name, and plain
John became John Smith. As yet there
we're no "misters'' In the land.
Some John Smith accumulated moro
wealth than the bulk Of bis fellows-be-
came perhaps q landed proprietor or an
employer Of hired labor. Then he began
to be called IN the Norman!F French Of the
day the "maistre" Of this place or that,
of these workmen or Of those,
In time the "maistre," or "maister,"
as 1t soon became, got tackled on before
his name, and be became Master 6mith
and bis wife was Maistress Smith.
Gradually the sense Of possession wal
lost sight Of, and the title was conferred
upon any kindly mere possession OF
wealth or holding some position Of mors
or less consideration and Importance. ,
