The South Dakota railroad COM
mission has been ascertaining the
physical valuation of the railways Of
the state during the past summer.
The same work has been performed
by the railway commission Of Minne-
sofa, and the experts in the last nam
ed state have made report. They
find that the total valuation of North.
Pacific property within the state is
s54, 147,524. The railway company
has also made a report claiming that
the cost Of reconstructing the road
would be s101, 100000. The reason
assigned by the state officials for the

PATRONAGE MEN GRoUcHY.

The first move toward getting down
to economy on practical lines came in
the senate when Amsden wanted to
get the general appropriation bill out
of the way at an early date and allow
the members to "tigger" out how
much they were going to have left on
which to fit out the applicants for
special appropriations. The senate
suspended the rules while some Of the.
members gave him little fatherly
advice, in which they praised his mo-
tives, but could not admire his judg-
ment, and then proceeded to send the
resolution to the morgue, which is
conveniently provided for such coca :
sions by the committee on rules.
The state patronage bureau mem
bers and practically all the would be
appointees have gone home, the for
mer disgusted with the obstinacy
shown by the ether members Of the
board, and the seekers weary of wan
dering in the slough Of despond. But
whatever the applicants think in re-
gard to the matter, or what the re-
Communications they can stack up.
Gov. Wesley is not going to rush: il.
but will wait developments, and no
appointments are at all likely before
some time in February.
The patronage bureau has scattered
without getting any closer together
than at the start. They tried as last
resort to harmonic the switching Of
positions of some of the applicants,
but did not receive any cordial assis-
stance in that move on the part Of
those who were to be switched AS
the situation stands, there is dead
lock, and some other means of getting
down to an understanding may be
tried within few days, but that pro-
position is not at all harmonious rs
yet. But whatever is done, the ap-
plicants will have to wait, and the
present incumbents will Just creep
along for while yet.

Without entering into the merits of
the controversy between the president
and the house of representatives it
is certainly a reflection on the nation
that it should have fallen out as it
has. For the peoples lawmakers to
reject publicly a presidential message
or part of one, places us in a bad
light before the world. President
Roosevelt, however, is not blame
less in the matter. He is experienced
enough to know that display of
temper generally evokes a counter
display, and that is The present case
exactly. Still congress has not been
so uniformly keen to the peoples
