The people of the city responded
in large numbers to the appearance
of THE Royal Chef at the Gale Fri
day evening and a magnificent au-
dience applauded the efforts of the
performers throughout the evening.
1t was one of the largest audiences
that has greeted any performance in
the house.
The opera was presented in three
acts and every one of them was full
of interest from beginning to end.
The musical numbers we're good
throughout and they were given with
a vim and dash by the principals and
the chorus that kept the interest to
fever height to watch for what was
going to happen next. Perhaps one
of the best was the Chefs song, LET
Me Go Back when he was recalled
four or five times and he had some
thing new each time. Harry Herm-

HOW THEY SHOT III THROUGH.

Harry Wentzy, editor of the Puk-
wanna Press was out at Pierre dur
ing the period when the anti-pass
bill was before the legislature, and
he takes occasion to make a few COM
ments on the manne in which the
men behind the movement steered
the bill through, and it is rather in
teresting reading, at least from his
point of view, although Harry being
a democrat and chairman of the state
central committee, might look at it
in a different way:
We don't believe that the railroad
interests opposed the anti-pass meas
ure at all. AT any rate We saw no
sign of opposition. Mr.. Glass, who
is the new machines generalissimo
on the floor of the house, opposed
to any amendment being made to the
bill on parliamentary grounds. His
contentious were upheld by the chair.
Mr.. Foster, of Douglas county, OBJ
jected to a gag rule and appealed
from the decision of the chair, and
he won out. This signified that the
house proposed to amend the senate
bill, and it was an indication that
probably the emergency clause
would not be accepted. No sooner
was the vote announced until in
surgent leaders, the governor, the
lieutenant governor, state treasurer,
and senate leaders fiocked into the
house chamber, as II there had been
a fire alarm turned in. The speaker

Governor Crawford was fierce with
rage. He pounded the palm Of his
left hand with the fist of his right
one and said: 81 must have the bill
passed with the emergency; l will
have it," He then realized his posi-
ton and forced a smile to creep yer
his annoyed c~ountenance. That night

Pierre has had rather an exciting
time this winter with the legislative
session and a big fight on among the
members Of the city council. Keep
ing watch of the two has been a lit
tie too strenuous for the average
Pierreite. The trouble in the city
council has lead to the arrest of one
of the aldermen and also to that of
the postmaster, charging him with
criminal libel for stuff that has APP
peared in his paper in the criticism
of one or two of the aldermen. Be-
tween Editor Billinghurst and Editor
Nipple there is not much love, and
the war of words that has been going
between them for the past two years
is enough to disrupt most any town
and keep it from advancing. That
is what is happening to Pierre these
days and it will continue as long as
those newspapers present their per
sonal affairs above public considera-
ton. Editor Billinghurst, however,
has been forced to stand on the de-

touched reminiscent spots, and they
were greatly appreciated. Mr.. Herm-
sen doesn't get too funny in his
character and keeps it within rea-
sonable bounds all the time. Miss
Gertrude Hutchinson, as the soprano
%soloist, evidently made quite a hit
with the audience, as she got strong
applause every time she appeared.
Her songs were good and she pre-
sented them attractively. Elsie Fra
zee had a dainty little part and she
sang "O'Reilly" in a b%ewitching man
ner, with the accompaniment of a
great chorus of young ladies, who
were dressed in the daintiest of Irish
costumes.
h chorus was about the best
that has ever appeared in musical
comedy of this kind. Their costumes
were all pretty and attractive and
they presented a clean appearance,
while the little stunts the young la
dies kept introducing all the time
made their work all the better. Their
singing found much favor with the
audience and they made a good hit.
BY reason of a misunderstanding
between the director of the company
and Director Rathbun, the orchestra
did not appear during the evening.
and the orchestral effect to the sing
ing numbers was missed.

A Washington dispatch of Friday
states that there is a possibility Of
the withdrawal of the name of j. d.
Elliott for the appointment as United
States district attorney. The fight
that Senator Gamble has been carry
ing on to secure his appointment to
the position seems to be a hopeless
one from the fact that Senator Kit
tredge's connection with the judici-
airy committee makes it possible to
withhold the endorsement of the
committee. Seeing defeat along that
line, a Washington correspondent
gives it out that in all probability
that Mr.. Elliott will be withdrawn
as a candidate and that the name Of
W. G. Cook, of Plankinton, will be
substituted. Mr.. Cook is the chair
man of the republican state central
committee. Doubtless Senator Kit
tredge would have as strong an OBJ
lection to Mr.. Cook as he had to-
ward Mr.. Elliott, and he may insist
on returning to the appointment of
A. G. Biernetski, of Salem, who was
ut one time prominently mentioned
rs the probable appointee to. the po-
sition-but that was before the stall
wart crowd was defeated in the state
convention.

About everything that the news
paper man has asked for in the leg
islature has been given a very cool
reception, and the last knockout the
newspapers received was the refusal
to change the law whereby an edi-
tor can be sued in any county in the
state where his paper circulates. The
editors asked for this concession,
and the bill was started in the SEN
ate, which informed the boys that
they can be hauled all over the state
when some person feels that they
have a case again him. In two or
three instances editors have been re-
quired to appear in court in another
county to have their cases tried. A
business man cannot be yanked from
one county to another in a suit, and
why the newspaper man should not
receive the same courtesy it is hard
to understand.

There is quite a diversity of opin-
ion as to printing the evidence OF
the Thaw trial. While the president
started a movement to stop papers
from going through the mails con
tanning the evidence, preachers from
the pulpits we're expressing their
opinion that they believed the papers
we're fulfilling a public duty in thus
exposing the crime that exists in SO
ciety, whether high or low. The
principal element in the publication
of the evidence is that the greater
majority of the people want to read
it, no matter how revolving it might
be. and you will always find persons
who hold up their hands in holy hor-
ror at the publicity given such SEN
sational matter. and at the same time
they will seek a quiet spot and read
it to their hearts content.

The settlers on the homesteads i

The settlers on the homesteads in
South Dakota found a strong cham
pionship for their rights in the house
of representatives a few days ago,
when a bill was introduced to limit
the power of special representatives
of the land department. This bill
had special reference to the order
recently issued by President Roose-
Welt which requires that before a
homesteader can prove up on his land
must receive a personal inspection
by an agent of the government. This
was conceded to work a eve hard
ship on the settlers and would delay
making final proof on their land.
The bill introduced provided an APP
preparation of %$250,000 to pay the
salaries of such agents. The bill was
discussed by Mr.. Mondel, of Wyom-
ing, Cushman, of Washington, Lacey,
of Iowa, Mann, of Illinois, Burke, of
South Dakota, Reeder, of Kansas,
Bonynge, of Colorado, Gronna, of
North Dakota, Stevenson, of Min
nesota, Gaines, of Tennessee, and
Smith, of Iowa. During the debate
the work of the special agents was
severely condemned, and the presi
dents order was criticised as an un-
necessary hardship on the settlers
now living on government lands.
The house passed the amendment re
stricting the use of the %appropria-
ton by a vote 104 to II. When the
inspectors start out from Washing
ton to make any investigation of set
tiers on government land, they seem
imbued with the fact that tho SET
tiers have already been found par
TALLY guilty of disobeying the land
laws and that it is the duty of the
inspector to ferret out more evidence
to finally convict them. True, there
might be some cases of fraud in the
getting of land, but the greater ma
jority of entryS reach the proving
up period through some very sewers
hardships. and this winter has bee,I
a pretty good demonstration of what
the settler has to go through with be
fore he gets his patent from the gov
eminent.

Mr.. Shaw is regarded as a Gamble

litical principles which he considered

FREE SEED DISTRIBUTION.

The a%bsurdity of the government:
distribution of free garden seeds has
long been apparent, but it has, seem
Jngly, been impossible to do away
with the custom, which some con
gressmen are inclined to believe
keeps them in the memory OF their
constituents at home. But q con
gresham who is so short of ability
that he must needs rely on the free
seed distribution as one of the ele-
ments for home standing, ought to
be kept at home where he can be
seen as an individual right along.
The New York Tribune touches on
this question quite pertinently in the
following article:
The house committee on agricul-
ture has been defeated again in a
praiseworthy effort to ring down the
curtain on the farce of free seed
distribution. The absurdity OF the
present practice of buying common
garden seeds from dealers and then
dispatching them broadcast on the
requisition of congressman seeking
not so much to stimulate horticul-
tnre as to cultivate political popu-
larity has long been recognized by
the Department of Agriculture. Sec
rotary j. Sterling Morton once tried
to abolish the gift seed package out
right, but congress oyerruled him
and made him go on mailing souve-
Mrs and samples to gladden. rural
gardens and the denizens of rural
poultry yards. Secretary Wilson has
tried to cure the abuses of the pres
ent system by restoring the original
intent of the free seed law, which
merely directed the department to
secure varieties of seeds and
plants for distribution to persons
willing to experiment with them.
This is a perfectly legitimate gov
ernmental function, since it seeks
only to broaden knowledge and di-
versify horticulture. But no such
purpose is served, or can be served,
by the governments purchasing
for sale, and then franking them
have not asked for them and have
no public or scientific end in view in
experimenting with them.

humbug probably do not take their
W arguments very seriously. The
trouble is that they consider the
prize package a valuable political as
set. This belief is an inheritance
from the period when a congress-
mans chief functions were supposed
to be those of a place hunter, office
broker and patronage solicitor for
his constituents. The spoils system
is practically dead, and legislators
have been released in large measure
from its Gripping and hateful re-
sp%onsibilities. But this change has
been forced upon them no more or
iess against their will, and there are
many who still feel that more polit-
zeal credit is to be gained by petty
services like the dispatch of a prize
seed package than by industrious de-
votion to purely legislative duties. 1t
is this false conception which ex-
plains the unreadiness of the average
congressman to surrender what he
regards as a political perquisite and
his anxiety to maintain q bounty sys-
tenn in seeds for which there is no
rational justification.
