deevours to prove by figures
and official data that the Eng
fish speaking people are SUI
preme in the commercial sphere
and that the ~consummatlon is
inevitable.
The peculiar feature of the
recent discussion is the connec-
ton which is made between the
Anglo-Saxon supremacy andthe
reformation in spelling which
is now going on in the United
States.
The conclusion which Mr..
Carnegie reaches is something
like this; since all races are
eventually and ultimately to be
assimilated or absorbed by the
grand Anglo-SaXon combine,
the present capricious, contra
dictory and unreasonable spell
ing should be dispensed with il
order to simplify the language
and give a magnificent i'm.

other step in the march Of civil
ization and modern progress
In another generation the pho
netic spelling will prevail every
where within the confines o
our fair nation. Even Roose
welt, the man Of the hour, ha
} expressed a desire to adopt TIN
new system. But the immedi
| ate connection between tn
, spelling system and Anglo
) Saxon supremacy is as yet quit
vague. Mr.. Carnegie has over
drawn slightly. The conclu
, sion is far-fetched. Neverthe
less the new spelling syster
will be a convenience if not

RAILROAD BUILDING.
Especial to the Argus-Leadc,

But few people realize the
immense amount Of railroad
building that is going on at
present in this section Of the
country. 1t is probable that
there is more building of new
roads under way this year in
South Dakota than in any other
state of the Union, and not the
least of this work is that being
done for the purpose Of effect
ing communications with the
Black Hills. Before the first Of
January, 1907, both the North
western and the Milwaukee
roads will be running trains
from the Missouri river to the
Hills. The Northwestern is at
present laying track from both
ends of the line. The track
laying gangs have progressed
about twenty miles both from
Pierre and from this city. The
intermediate grading is also al
most completed, and only the
bridge work is likely to detain
the completion of the road. The
Milwaukee has been much de-
layed because of wet weather at
this end, when they needed to
complete their grading, but it is
thought that they, too, will
make connections by the first
of the year. This road is only
waiting until the harvest is over
in North and South Dakota,
and laborers are more plentiful
before putting a crew Of 5000
men to work on their extension
to the coast.
Another road which is attract
ing a great deal of attention is
the South Dakota Midland.
President Giddings has made
the statement that if the right
Of way is donated the road will
be built into Wakonda. The
citizens of that town estimate
hat it will cost them about
$4,000 to meet the demands
for the right of way. This road
also proposes to go into Sioux
City by arranging to operate
over the Illinois Central from
Merrill to Sioux City.

COMMISSION SYSTEM.

W. OAN
The government Of municip-
alities by commissions is an
American idea which has seen
remarkable growth in the last
few years. Texas was the first
state to bring about radical
changes of this kind, and in
several cities of that state the
commission plan for cities have
been worked out with a consid-
cradle degree of success.
Since the great flood of 1900
Galveston has operated %satisfac-
torily under the commission
system. Houston took up the
same form of government less
than a year ago and, according
to G.. Arthur Williams in evil
liams in "The World Today"
has made gratifying progressto-
ward ideal conditions. At ali
election held last spring, Dallas
decided to try the plan. Citi-
zens of San Antonio are urging
it's adoption there and the SEN
timent is growing rapidly in
Fort Worth.
But the experiment is not
confined to Texas. Nashville,
Tenn, has for years made use
of a modified form Of govern
ment by commission. Des
Moines sent out one of it's lead
ing citizens some time ago to
investigate the new scheme and
Norfolk, Va, has ~acommission
which was elected recently.
The Civic Improvement league
st. Louis is studying the ques-
ton, and may apply itin whole
or in part.
Under the commission system
a city elects three men who are
given charge Of everything con-
nected with the municipal gov
eminent. They are generally
leading citizens, responsible
men, individuals who would be
least likely to neglect their
duties or be guilty Of irregular
acts. Every city official an
swers to the commission and
the commission answers to the
people. The question of official
patronage is made easier and,
it is said improvements are
more easily begun and carried
through to speedy completion.
Studedts of municipal govern
ment will find in this PROPOSE
ton subject matter for careful
and interesting investigation.
The government of cities is one
of the very best serious prob
lems Of the many which con
front the American people,

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

The situation in Cuba is be-
coming more and more critical.
A city of 5000 inhabitants is re-
ported captured by the insur-
gents. Former senators and
representative are being arrested
on the charges Of completely
and conspiracy. Havana news
papers are quoted as saying that
the American system of govern
ment has failed. They main
tain that America will eventu-
ally andinevitably interfere and
that all American influence
should be thrown aside.
Whether the rumors and re-
ports are based upon facts or
fables can scarcely be ascertain
ed at the present time. The
government officials at Wash
ington seem very careful in con-
cealing the correct news. 1t is
said that the administration is
not disposed to regard the stu
alton as critical.
The conflict in Cuba is clearly
a struggle between the country
and city elements Of the popu-
lation. The "bush" division
Of the people are Disconnected.
Enmity between these two fac
tions has been growing ever
sincethe recent war. The dis
satisfaction Of former soldiers
and fighters with the govern
mont as conducted by bankers,
merchants and lawyers is being
felt throughout the whole
island. New lands Of insur-
gents are constantly appearing
and the outcome Of the present
crisis is very uncertain.
Under proper proclamation
the United States will undoubt-
eddy interfere. The present
neutral attitude is preserved,
pending the most convincing
proofs Of the need Of intervenn'-
ton. Under the Plat amend.

The increase Of about 5000
head in receipts this week over

steady prices but the fair to

ed a decline Of 10 to 15c. Range
beeves are generally about 10 to
15c off for the week, largely
owing to the bearish news from
eastern markets and the lack Of
competition. from feeder buyers.
There has been a very fair de-
mand from the dressed beef

Among the provisions thus adversely
disposed OF were several intended 10 fix

provisions intended 10 accomplish this
purpose had the effect to bring out

WheH the senate adjourned the eighth
section OF the bill regulating the per-

there could be prepared a more acceptable
