LIBEL LAWS NEED REVISION.

Hardly week passes without the
announcement of a suit for libel
against some newspaper OF more or
less prominence, and in the majority
of cases the causes are trivial and the
damages demanded are rediculously
excessive.
The subject demands the intelligent
attention of the newspapers as a body,
with the view of bringing about re-
vision of the libel laws. AS they stand
they constitute problems difficult to
solve and enable many persons to seek
shelter behind them when threatened
by the searchlights of publicity.
Newspapers, especially in these days
OF hustle and bustle, many editions
in a few hours and constant streams
of news pouring in from all quarters,
are prone TO make utterly ,lnnten-
tional errors, Of which advantage is
frequently taken by INSCRIPTIONS and
greedy legal practitioners to bring
suits for heavy damages when absol-
utely no damage has been done.
1t is against this class Of suit that
the newspapers should be protected :.
They never hesitate to right a wrong
or make correction when asked to do
so, and they should be shielded from
those who take advantage Of trivial
ties to appeal to the courts for redress
when no actual harm has been done.
Instead Of the press having too
much liberty, as some people claim,
fear of the libel laws prevents the
papers in many cases from exposing
financial and other pests who flourish
under the protection of the laws.
In fact newspapers not infrequent-
ly are. made the victims of regular
holdup schemes, as they generally
suffer if damages are demanded of
them.

INCREASED FREIGHT RATE.

The allied railroads of the United
States have filed formal notice with
the interstate commerce commission
OF their purpose to make a sweeping
increase in freight rates January /.
1t is to be the most comprehensive
and radical raise in rates ever made
in the United States, and will cover
the entire country between the At
lantlc seabOard and the Pacific coast.
The average increase from east to
west will be 10 per cent, and from
west to east IS per cent.
Shippers have already begun APP
peallng to the commission to prohibit
the carriers from making the new
rates effective, but have been inform
ed that the commission is without
authority. The only legal course of
procedure under the much-vaunted
Hepburn act is for shippers to file
formal complaint whereupon, when
the new rates become operative, the
commission will institute an 'inves-
tlgatlon.' Chairman Knapp prom
ises to expedite the inquiry in every
possible way and there ye are, as
Mr.. Dooley would say

WANT NEW LAND DISTRICT.

Senator Gamble has introduced a
bill for the creation of new land dis
trict, with an office located at Belle
Fourche, embracing the southern pa rt
of Butte county not included in the
Lennon district and the northern
tier Of townships of Meade county, for
the opening Of that part of the Pine
Ridge Indian reservation north of the
tenth standard parallel.
The district also includes part of
Washington and Washabaugh coun-
ties and embraces about 900 900 acres !.
The senator has also introduced
bills opening certain lands in the Rose
bud Indian reservation, being the two
eastern tiers of townships in Meyer
county and part of the county north
of the tenth standard parallel, and
also that part of Washabaugh county
north of the tenth standard parallel,
embracing about $50, 900 acres; direct
ing the secretary Of the interior to paw
the Flandreau Indians the per capita
surplus funds in the treasury to their
credit.

DEMAND FOR FUNDS.
State Institutions Will Press Hard on
State Treasury.

State treasury.
disappointment is coming for the
heads of most of the state institutions
at the coming legislative session.
Their aggregate demands upon the
state treasury will be for 81 900, 5000
for new buildings at the different in.
stitutions. In the last campaign the
heavy appropriations of the last ses-
sion were defended on the ground that
1T was necessary to provide new build
lngs for the many state institutions,
and that they had now been fitted out
with buildings which would meet their
demands for several years. But the
heads of the institutions think differ
emily. They want more, and want
them now. The state university thinks
it could get along for two years more
If it were given S345, ,OOG for that pur-
pose; the agricultural college at
Brookings will be satisfied with $780,
900, and the asylum for the feeble
minded at Redfield wants Sl27 900
more. The rest of them are willing to
get along with from 500, 900 down to
smaller sums, but all want something.
This total does not include anything
for the completion of the work on the
state capitol. The commission will
ask for approximately $4,000 for
that work. They claim that as their
building is under construction and is
absolutely needed their claim should
hold the first position before any new
buildings are commenced Further,
their appropriation will come back to
the state i'll cash as soon as it is ad-
visable to place the rest of the state
building lands on the market. They
will ask for a continuance of the $780,
900 appropriation of two years ago
which has not been drawn upon.
They will ask for the issuance of $780,
900 of building bonds for ten years /;
they will ask for authority to expend
S1O0, 900 more from the sale of lands,
and this they estimate will complete
the bullying, furnish it and fit up the
grounds. They have expended S293,-
1875 to date on the work and have
about $4,000 yet available in the
way of mortgages and deferred pay
ments, and have disposed of all the
lands east Of the Missouri river.

FIGHT STILL ON.

p
Washington, d. c., Dec. 14.-Thera
IS certain to pc another lively contest
between Senators Gamble and Kit
tredge over the appointment Of q
United Stotes attorney for South
Dakota.
1t is understood that the senate
Judiciary committee this morning re-
ferred the nomination Of Edward f.
Wagner for the attorneyship to Sena-
tor kittredge. This means that the
committee probably will report
against the confirmation of CANDLES 8
appointees. Wagner failed of confir-
nation by the senate at the last seq
SION, but was appointed during the
recess by the president. Ii he is re-
Iected this time the South Dakota
senators will have to propose new
candidates.
James ID. Elliott failed of confir.
nation for the same place in the pre-
cedlng congress owing to the Gamble

DEATH OF THE YEAR.

In this latitude, Just now, mother
earth is covered with snow, and every
indication tell us that the season Of
icy Inconvenience is at hand. The
granaries are we'll filled the husband
man has been rewarded for his toll.
Nature is taking in sail, like the
human aged, and all living things re-
'verently salute Terminus. the god Of
metes and bounds. The passional
life of the year goes out into winter
waste. No arch of Titus or Arch de
Iriomphe was ever so noble as this
picturesque arch of the dying year.
1t concentrates all the brilliant colors
of the fields and woods, like the dol
phine in dying, compacting the beau
ties of the season in final climax
OF effects so vivid that we never for
get them. The year goes out, stately,
through this rainbow arch, only to
enter, next April and May. a portal
Of greenery.
Every plant is satisfied now Ithas
accomplished it's work, fulfilled it's
mission, blossomed, ripened It's seeds
for wind and animals to scatter that
its kind shall not perish from the
earth. When the children are well
established, married, settled, thriving,
the wise man is willing to die if the
summons comes. His work is done,
well done. Count that weed happy
as an angel that perfects and distri-
butes it's seeds.
The death Of the year, therefore, is
not sad season, but a very joyous
one. Cereal, vegetable, harvests are
saved, and nature has made sure, in
animal and plant, that It will go on
again next year without dropping a
stitch or jumping a cog. This con-
tinuity provided for, she garlands her
self, drinks lethe, as Rip Van Wrinkle
drank the goblins mystic, heady IL
quor, and lies down to pass the win
ter trance, with here and there a
thawy day to operate as Il dream and
make her stir, stretch and murmur in
her sleep.

The showing of South Dakota at the
great corn show in session in this CITY
has been very pleasing to patriots
from that state, and great surprise
to many from other states who were
not acquainted with its possibilities. y
The state exhibit from the state
college and experiment stations. sup
plemented by displays of corn and
small grain from various parts of the
state, is attracting much attention.
This exhibit Is in charge of Prof. j.
V. Bopp, of the state college at
Brookings, and Manley Champlin, q
senior student. Over 100 varieties of
grains and drought resistant grasses
are shown, both thrashed and in the
sheaf. Thirty or forty strains of
hardy corn form the centerpiece of
the display. A map of the state in
sheath grain occupies the background,
and the side walls are exquisitely
fashioned with cereals and grasses
from the Highmore sub-station. The
whole reposes upon a background of
yellow and blue, the state college
colors, and all the interspaces are
hung with "S. d. S. c. pennants.

the heat OF denunciation lie frequently
does gross injustice to his opponents
and occasionally disregards the truth
and suppresses facts which have i'm

THE FUTURE

What should South Dakota do in
the next four years? This is q ques-
tion for the future, and it's answer win
depend on the people of the state.
South Dakota now has a little over
half million of people. Our present
population ought to be close to mil
lion. The state has not boosted it's
resources. 1t has missed the oppor-
tunity Of advertising. The state has
in the last six years produced the big
gest per capita of new wealth of any
state in the union; but no one knows
it except our own people, because the
matter has not been advertised. Our
soil is rich, the state is crop-sure, the
bank deposits are large and growing,
and our people are magnifcently pros
porous. But no money has been ex-
pended to advertise these facts to the
world, and the result is that no one
knows about them, and no general
benefit is gained. A movement is now
on foot to ask the legislature to ex-
pend $4,000. If this appropriation is
beaten, which it may be, we shall
have to continue to see other states
grow fast while South Dakota, with
better resources, does practically
nothing in getting new settlers. Do
we want to continue to let states with
inferior resources beat us in growth
because we are too stingy and close ..
