The self.Educated Woman.

One of the first things she must
learn is not to attempt to do too much
herself Every business man knows
that the higher he rises the greater
must be the number of his assistants,
says a writer in Harper's Bazaar. The
private soldier attends to his own af-
fairs himself. but the captain en-
ploys an orderly. and the general has
an entire staff to do his bidding
Many women have not learned this
lesson. They are so anxious to do
their duty in all respects that they
try to perform the tasks of general
and private soldier at the same time
"a thing manifestly impossible.

CAMPAIGN OF E,I'ITEETS.

4 correspondent writes to know
where it was that Mr.. Crawford used
the term 't0ads and rats from a foul
cellar in referring to the stalWarts.
This was at a meeting in Huron&hoEt-
ly before the legislature met. Thegov-
ernor was very angry and incorporate
in his remarks and his defense Of the
Gamble graft was the beginning Of
his slide down the political toDog-
gan. 1t was at Oacoma that the gov
ernor called the Argus-Lcader "a
liar" and he was roundly Kissed by
the audience for it.. The governor in
addition has called the stalWarts 'imps
of hell and yellow corporation
ours but it was the lieutenant gov
ernor who coined the expression ma
chine whelps." h people of the
state never heard such abusive and
extreme language as that used by our
laxative governor Up to about ten
days ago. He has suddenly taken a
tumble and in recent speeches is
tarne enough to eat out of our hand.
He has discovered hat Senator Kit
redge's style of campaigning is a win
ner, and he is trying to copy it, only
he can't because he lacks two es-
sential qualities; he lacks the brains;
and he lacks the pOise.

THE Interest BILL
II was Killed by Reform Votes at a
Cost 10 the State Of $4,000
In -Four Years

The taxpayers Of TIE state should
be interested in the question of re-
tanning as treasurer of the state a
man who, If he is elected another
term, will by the end of that term
have drawn 100000 of interest on the
state funds-money which is a clear
pickup for him and which should
rghtfully 60 to the state.
The stalwarts made a strong effort
to have this interest one go into the
state treasury as it does in most other
states, but were baked at every point
by the insurgents. Mr.. Rratrud, the
stalwart member from Minnehaha
county, introduced a bill to give the
state the interest on it's w funds.
It was opposed by State Treasurer
Cassill, Mr.. Crawford and other in
surgents, and after being held up in
committees as long as possible. it
was returned with an unfavorable re-
commentator. Mr.. Bratrud moved
to amend the report Inc recommend
the passage of the bill, n this
motion was defeated by q vote of SO
to 80. The insurgents voted against
the motion and the stalwarts for it.
Thus the reform legislature voted
Tor a graft which will cost the state
$4,000 in the two years of CNssilIs
term, and 100000 II ne be elected
to another term.
O. A.. Rudolph, Of Canton, comes
out on a platform in which he declares
hat he will turn all this interest
money ove to the state whether such
. law is passed or not. Will the voters
of the state be willing to longer in
dulge in the luxury OF such a costly
treasurer as Mr.. Cassill?
