And It Should be Returned Says Re-
tiring Governor.
Retiring Governor s. II. Elrod, of
South DAkoto, In his last address to
the legislature, denounced in empha.
tic terms the deal by which South Da.
kota came Ia possession Of about $685..
600 through suits against the State
OF North Carolina on bonds Issued by
that stste during the carpetbag re.
gime.
South Dakota, Governor Elro said,
had no right to take the money, and
the State Univeraity, to whioh ii was
given, should not have touched 1t, be-
CAUSE 1t was tainted.
Il recommond, said the governor
that the legislature pass an aot car.
rying an appropriation to return the
sum OF 822, 418 to the state OF North
Carolina. We took 1t away from our
sister state, North Carolina, simply
because the law said we could. Might
did not make right ih this instance
If the state Of South DSkota Yeturne
said sum to bhe state of North Caro-
lima, 1T will do more to cement the
states together than anything that
has happened since tho OWL war
Morally we have no right to q cent OF
this money, and we ought to be brave
and true enough to give III back"
The retiring governor said 1t iB evil
dent chat ingenious schemera are US
Ing the state for private ends
The oaBe of South Dakota vs.
North Carolina Ia the first of similar
suits TO be brought to comp9l the sew
oral states OF the South that floatet
Wildcat bonds during osrpetbag times
and since repudistod them, to pa,
them with interest.
An individual oannot sue state
but one commonwealth oan sue an
other commonwealth. Hence certain
holders OF bonds have entered int,
partnership with tho state to fore
payment.

Furnishing the guilty. ,.a
There Ia no doubt In my mind THAI
he exceeds his power in providing
that the members of the negro troops
discharged could not serve inHthe
civil branch of the government in the
future. His executive orders have
gone SO far beyond his constitutional
authority that they aeem TO be proc
