"PIG-PEN FREEHoLDERs" LOSE
Ruse at Valley Springs to Evade
~ Liquor Law Is Held Illegal.

SIOUX FALLS. s; D.-Judge Jones has made made
decision which will prove of interest wherever
the saloon and anti-saloon sentiment Is nearly r.
equally divided. According to his decision the
cutting up of an ordinary, town lot into small
strips and deciding them to persons who other, hl,
legal freeholders. At the. last election the
voters of Valley Springs, east Of Sioux Falls by
a small majority. for the first time since state
hood. declared in favor Of licensing saloons.
Not long, ago, and following the election, B l..
Conover filed with the town board of Valley
Springs an application for a saloon license. This
bore tn, legal number of signatures. The tenn
perance men raised the question that six of the
persons who had signed Conover's petition were
not freehoders. as the law provided.
To meet the objection, Conover divided lot
into miniature lots which he decided to the
six persons, thus intending to make them free
holders beyond the question Of doubt. The
town council, after this had been done, granted
Conover license 20 start saloon.
The temperance forces, however, were not
satisfied. and carried the case to the state cir
cult court in this city. They based their case
largely on the allegation that the deciding Of the
to evade the law and did not constitute them
freeholders under the laws of the state.
The lots are about the size of an ordinary
pigpen, and the persons to whom the lots We're
decided termed ''pigpen freeholders by
the temperance men of Valley Springs.

sInEsrEPPING AN ISSUE.

The speech made by Senator Arthur 2. Cor
man In the Maryland Democratic Convention
and the platform adopted by that gathering
both betray the endorsements under which
the promoters Of the Poe scheme Of disfran-
chisement are laboring. 1t seems impossible
for the supporters Of the Poe amendment TO
state its purposes without entangling themselves
In contradictions. These contradictions are
apparent in the Senator's address as they are
in the resolutions of the body whose delbera-
lions he controlled and guided. Mr.. German de-
scribed the suffrage amendment as step taken
30 repair a grievous wrong done the state some
thirty-seven years ago, when three-fourths Of
tho legislatures in the Union ratified, and the
president proclaimed, the Fifteenth Amend
rnent TO the Federal Constitution. The Senator
eaid he had fought negro suffrage in 1868, and
since then had given time and energy and all
..that was in me 10 lift the burden of brutal
.negro suffrage from the necks OF the Southern
..neople" The platform adopted expressed the
emo idea when it declared in its opening para
graphs:

..hurden of negro suffrage. forced on an unwill

classes the privilege Of sovereignty on per
fectly equal terms.
Such tumble of ideas naturally results from
the confusion inherent in the Poe franchise
scheme AS a matter of fact the proposed
amendment does not strike exclusively at the
negro It does not single him out for oStracism
nor. on the other hand. does it aim at purify
ing the suffrage by imposing any general edit
cational or other personal fitness test. On tho
contrary. it draws a perfectly arbitrary and
Illogical line between two classes of voters

imposes disabilities on the ''non-anceStOr' group
which have no relation whatsoever 10 inteili-
gence or character. As Mr.. Bonaparte has
pointed out the successor to Cardinal Gibbons
in the See OF Baltimore or the successor to Dr.
Remsen as president of Johns Hopkins Univer
slty might be DISTINGUISHED under the Poe
amendment, while the vote of the most ignO-
rant oysterman on the Chesapeake would not be
subject TO challenge.
The Democratic party in Maryland is simply
revamping old Know-Nothing theories, Jumping
the naturalized voter of Irish, German, italian
or Jewish descent with the negro as a citizen
on sufferance, the inferior of the native born.
But the leaders are panic stricken at the pro
tests this folly has aroused, and their attempts
to befog the real issue are as diverting as they
are maladroit.

CARRYING THE MAILS.

The continued strike of the drivers OF mall
wagons is causing inconvenience and delay anu
is giving much dissatisfaction TO the govern
ment. so that the contractor has been informed
that if his service is not at once improved sum-
mary action will be taken. That is quite right
II NAV be that the contractor is doing his pest
1t is probable that the police ought to nave done
more to keep the peace and to prevent rlotouS
interference with the service 1t is undoubtedly
true that some of the strikers or their allies
have acted lawlessly and scandalously. But the
government is not called upon to take cognl-
Zance of these things 1t wants the mails car
ried safely and expeditiously. 1t looks to the
contractor to do that work. If he fails to do
it if is not the business of the government TO
consider why he has failed, but rather to take
immediate and vigorous steps to get the work
done in a satisfactory way by some one else
Or to do the work itself. That alternative
is to be considered. We do not say it should
be adopted or that it should not be, That Is
to be determined by circumstances. If the
work can be done better by contract, let 1t De
so done But if the government can do 1t pet
fer than a contractor, then let the government
do it. 1t Is certainly as legitimate and as ap-
propriate for the government to convey the
mails from its own office to the office of COM
mon carrier as it is to collect them from the
street letter boxes. and every such incident as
this strike and every moment the strike is pro
longed afford an additional argument In favor
of the adoption of such system.
