Civil Service Bills,

There are several bills before the
Senate and House now in regards to
the civil service law. One provides
for the abolishment of the act and an
other. prepared by attorneys of the
civil service commission, suggests that
wardens of the penitentiary and re-
animation by the board before they
could accept an appointment by the
governor. Governor Shafroth has
been in favor of direct appointing
power without examination and this
will be the measure advocated by the
party leaders and having the indorse-

"Yian-I have lived there-and
loved there. When the breath of my
body shall cease. when the dragons
claw shall fade from my arm" he
tore up his sleeve and we saw white
crescent shining above his elbow
when the light of my eyes has faded
forever, then, even then | shall not
forget the city of Yian. Why, it is my
home-mine. The river and the thou
sand bridges, the white peak beyond
the sweet-scented gardens. the lilies
the pleasant noise of the summer wind
laden with bee music and the music
of bells-all these are mine. Do you
think because the Kuen- YUM feared
work with them is ended? Do you
think because Yue-Laou could give,
that l acknowledge his right to take
away? Is he Xangi. in whose shadow
the white water-lotus dares not raise
its head? No, Mo-" he cried, vio-
lently. ut was not from Yue-Laou, the
scorcerer, the Maker of Moons, that
my happiness came! 1t was real, 1t
was not a shadow to vanish like a
tinted bubble! Can a sorcerer create
and give a man the woman he loves :?
Is Yue-Laou as great as Xangi then?
Xangi is God. In His own time. in His
infinite goodness and mercy. He will
bring me again to the woman l love
And I know she waits for me at Gods S
feet"
In the strained silence that followed
l could hear my hearts double beat
and | saw Pierpont's face blanched
and ptiful. Barris shook himself and
raised his head. The change in his
ruddy face frightened me.
Heed" he said. with terrible
glance at me; the print of the
dragons claw is on your forehead and
Yue-Laou knows it. II you must love,
then love like man. for you will suf-

Civil Service Amendment.

report of the special committee ap-
pointed by Governor Shafroth to draft
opinions as to the constitutionality of
the act The recommendations are
that the wardens of the penitentiary
and the reformatory should not be
under the civil service and that all
state employees coming under civil
service regulations should take exami-
nations every two years, or whenever
the general elections bring in new

Representative Haggott of Colorado
was granted unanimous consent to re-

colleague, Representative Cook, on

THE CONSUMERS

Senators Bulkeley and Brandegee voted against free hides, and the for n1er explains his position of antag- cnism toward public sentiment in Con- necticut by saying that in order to ohtain protective duties for large home Industries, it was necessary to recipro cate-thaf is, to concede a tariff duty on hides to the cattle-growing States. This Is the familiar old "1og-rolling'' pfocess which has cost the American people billions of dollars, impoverished probably a great majority of them, enormously enriched a comparatively few, and enabled these few to organize trusts which not only fix prices arbi- tfaxily but also elect and own special Representatives in Congress. Not a. word about the interests of c0nsumers appears in Senator Bulke- 3ey,s expfanation-not even a syllable aa to the effect of taxed hides upon 2he prices of shoes, harness, etc, nor as to the coming monopolization Of the leather.maldng industry by the Beer Trust. He speaks only of taxes to be imposed, under the -1og rolling pro cees upon articles of common use, which increase the cost of living, and he promises to use his utmost endeav- or5s to foster these taxes when they reach the conference committee.
 Senator Bulkeley does intimate that "thousands of the highest class of eliHed labor benefit by tariff taxes that ie. receive higher wages. It is m obsolete argument; there was a time when Republican compaigners used it with effect Trade unionism has killed it; organized labor has re- cetved many object lessons of the fact that wages are regulated, not by tariff duties. but by conditions in the labor market. Labor gets good wages, not through tariff taxes. but by it's own sarduous endeavors. And even if the tariff increased wages, the gain would be dwarfed by the increase in the cost of living caused by tariff taxes upon necessaries of life.
 Senator Bulkeley does not give the least weight to such facts; he seems to have even forgotten the existence of consumers.

There is Incorporated in~the census -bfll as reported by the Conference committee and practically assured of enactment, a general provision that hereafter all examinations of appli- cants for positions in the government service from any State shall be con- ducted in the State in which such ap- plicant resides, and that persons talk Ing the examinations shall have been actually domiciled in the State for at least one year previous to examination. This bars out the professional office seekers who crowd Washington and who really live there though claiming legal residence in their former home States. To take examinations, they must actually have resided in the State at least one year. Now, if the same Requirement. could be attached to the right of voting, it would be beneficial

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts who voted for free hides, said in his able argument therefor:
 It requires no instigation for any fhouehtful man to regard that combi- nation or trust at Chicago Beef Trust) with hostility. Men who will tamper with the food of the people-who will resist to the utmost the attempt to put a date upon a can, showing when the article was put into it-are not men whom I. for one, need any instigation from anybody to oppose; and, when I see a great industry Qeather) passing helpIessly into their hands; I should like to do anything in my power to stop it.

A document issued by the State Tax Commissioner gives interesting infor- nation, gathered from replies to ques- tions asked of assessors, collectors, etc, by the commissioner. He states that "the percentages of assessed val uation to fair market value for the different towns. as given in the tables, are those which are furnished by the assessors and others and are not of ficial from the States standpoint. We append the percentages referred to:

Eight towns profess to assess at fair market value; three at e0 per cent; one at S7; one at S5; three at 80; and the others at from 75 down to 5o. Those who advocate the imposition of a State tax, look to the State Board of Equalization to correct these irreg- ularfties or rather, these violations of the law requiring full value assess ments It will be constant labor, for the tendency of the towns will be to lower the percentage of assessment

The Senate has increased the duty on structural iron and steel valued al more than 9-10 of a. cent a pound, from S-1o to 4-10 of a cent a pound, being an addition to the House rate of Lit Of a cent. Andrew Carnegie said, sev- eral months ago, that iron and steel did not need protection, and that the 3ron and steel trade was not an infant Industry and could meet foreign com petition upon better than equal terms The Senate dfsregards this competent advice, and proceeds to make more costly every construction in which structural iron and steel is used. Ot course, this increased cost passes down until it reaches the people in some form-they finally liquidate the bill The only beneficiary is the manufac- turer who is enabled to increase his prices.

A DISGRACE TO THE STATE.

Ii is understood there is considerable
sickness among convicts at the pen
itentiary but this is nothing o
than can be expected where a state
gets so anxious for money that it will
lease out it's convicts for the purpose
of getting a little revenue. The work
in the shirt factory is SO combining and
so many men are worked in a small
room that it is no wonder that there
is an epidemic among the prisoners.
The Journal hopes that when the con-
tract for labor expires that South Da-
kota will never again let another,
for II Is a disgrace to the state and
a detriment to free labor. With the
Irvine factory it would seems as
though there should be no occasion to
contract the labor of the prisoners
but IL the time should arrive when
there are too many %convicts for the
work 1t would be better to put them
on the roads of the state.-Sioux Falls

AFTER EXPRESS COMPANIES.

p. w. Dougherty, attorney for the
state railway commission, this week
fled a complaint with the board
against the various express companies
doing business within the state, the
complaint being broad enough and de-
signed for a foundation for a suit or
action by any shipper dissatisfied or
having cause of complaint. The COM
plaintant alleges inequitable md un-
reasonable charges in many cases.
The Wells Fargo Express Co. has not
complied with the law requiring the
fling of a copy OF their tariff rates
with the railway commissioners, as
they we're not in the state at the time,
and hence have not complied with
