A High Kstlmato I'laccil Uprm His tiy Hoti , Itugli AleUul- loch , l > v-h 'frctnry of ttie Treasury , Jan.1. . [ Special Telegram toTim IIER , ] Nowhere bos tbo death of General Spinner caused as ileop regret as hero in Washington. Mono will feel moro sincere sorrow than the female employes of the treasury elcpartment , for It wns bo who wns instrumental lu their paining admission to that department for clerical work. This occurred during the war , whoa the regular clerks ucroenlisting , anel It looked ns if there would not bo sufllclont loft to tratisnct the business of the depaitmont , wbon General Splunor suggested to J'resident Liliicoln that an opportunity bo plvcn women to take the men's places where It was possible. The lilen met with considerable opposition , but the general gained his point , nnel the women fiom that time to tlio present have formed an Im portant factor in the business departments of the govern incut. General Spinner was born at Gorman Flats , near the present village of Mohawk , JT. Y. , In 1SOJ. In his youth bo had received such Instruction as the romnion schools afforded , but this hue ! bean supplemented by diligent study , for which bo bad found tlmo wlillo wet king at his trade , so that while ho was only a young man ho wns possessed of a larco amount of general Information auel habits of study nnd application. In 1S5I the people of the Seventeenth congressional district decided - cided to send him to Washington ns their representative in congress. Wcneral Spinner served iu congress from KM tolSOl , when ho was appointed treasurer of tbo United States by President Lincoln , and soon his autograph became ft prominent feature of tlio paper monov. His signature will always remain one of the curiosities of chirogruphy. It was the result of yonrs of careful practice nnel was completely unlike his usual handwriting , which is very clear unil le-giblo. General Spinner while sheriff of Ilcrklmcr county conceived thonotion of inventing- sig nature , nud af Iff many attempts and discarded conceptions ho finally adopted the ono now so famous. , lie first began to use It InlSilS , but bo brought It to the highest stnto of perfec tion when ho was treasurer. Towards the bitter years of his life he gradually abandoned it , for to tils regret ho found that he could no lonecr make it as well as in former years. Everything clso ho wrote was ns plain as print , ns tlio old letters In the treasurer's olllco show. Among his correspondence was a brief reply to a man namoel Jcniinison , who in IBtitJ demanded the redemption of a con federate hank note. General Spinner in Ills reply referred him to the ' 'infernal regions , where the concern issuing th.it note hasTe To the very enel ho kept tip a correspond ence ) ivith mnnv of his former associates , and wrote regularly to Aksistnnt Treasurer "Whelploy for the weekly and monthly finan cial statements of the treasury and the im- nu.il roport. Ills letters sho.v thnt ho kept as close anel intelligent watch of those affairs as when ho was at the bead of the otlluo eturlug war times nnd after. It is behoved that at tlio time of his el oath ho was engaged on a worlcon "American Flunnco. " Tlio Hon. Hugh McCJulloch In his "Men nnd Monsuros of Hnlf a Century , " makes tills reference to his old-time companion in the trcnsnrv : "As I have mentioned the name of General Spinner I must sav somothinp more nbout him. Ho was appointed United States treas urer in 1801 , . when tno. treasury was in the condition I have described ; when the business of the oBlco could hnvo bceu properly performed by a dozen competent clerks. It grew toils pres ent magnificent proportions while ho was treasurer. A moro trustworthy , conscien tious nnd upright man than Francis B. Spin ner novcr held an ofllce under this govern ment , or nnv other. Until I know him 1 hud not met a man with moro disposition or ca pacity for hard work than myself. In ( jcn- cral Spinner I found in this respect , ns iu ninny others , my superior. Ho worked con stantly from iilno to ten hours a day , and when business was unusually pressing Ids woiking hours \\cro extended from twelve to ilfteon. Ho liked tbo place , nnd was fa miliar witn its business to the minutest ele- tail , and should hnvo remained in it until ho wns no longer able to perform Its duties. His name sboulil bo inscribed high on the roll of honor for meritorious services nta tlmo wlion the government wns greatly in need of such services as hov.i < 5 able to render and heaitllv rendered. Ills resignation was causeel by n disagreemcntVio- twoen himself and the secretary aoout ap pointments to his bureau. As ho was a bonded ofilcor , ho thought , nnd correctly , that bo should control the appointments of cloiks for whoso nets ho was responsible. Ho elld control tnem when 1 was secretary , nnel ho dlel under Mr. Fessenden and Mr. Chase. " Ho was the custodian of millions. Armies and navies had to bo paid ; the postofllco do- p.irtmcut. bouses of congress hud to bo sup plied , and every dollar had to pass through the hands of General Spinner. Congress made him responsible not only for the fnlth- ful performance of his own etuties , but of these of'Overy ono of the hundreds of clerks In Us employ. Heavy bonds wore required. The general bad no hesitation in providing them' but ho insisted that as lie was respon sible for tbo honesty of his employes , ho should bo ullowcel to select bis foree , until Secretary Sherman declined to further grunt him that right when bo promptly icsigncel and wns suce-e'edcd by Treasurer Gilllllcn. General Sniuner was unquestionably the ' man for tho'plaee. When clerk after clerk left tbo treasury to po to the front with a musket ho conceived the idea and carried it out after the bitterest opposition and the most heartless ridicule , of appointing women to their places. Time has fully justf fled his be- llofln the honestly and accuracy of female employes , for today tbo expert counters in the treasurer's and the secretary's ofllcos are all women. Indeed nearly every position re quiring especial Intelligence and c.sportness in the handing of b.mk r.otos Is performed by u onion. There Is an iiitereiting incident that oc curred during the war that shows General Spinner's ' depth of resource. Wasnlngton was menaced by Iho nrmy of ( Jcuornl 13reck- enrld go. who had suddenly erossod the Potomac mac nnd wns very near to the outer line efforts forts which guarded the city on tlio north almost before the government ivos aware of his coming- . The city was practically do- fonsoless. The forts , such at they wcro , weio badly garrisoned. Ineteeel they were without garrisons ut all. for nil available troops hud been sent to McClclland , who waa then preparing for his advance on Hlchniond , No ono know the defenceless condition of the city Uotter than did GtMicr.il Ureckonridire. and ho recognized tlio effect It would have on the north if the capital of thej nation with Its treasury should Jail into the hands of the enemy. The mnvs of the approach spreao rapidly throughout the elty , for every oni knew how perfectly defenseless was the capital. General Spinner was fully equal to the emergency. At tbo critical moment ne weni to l.oroy Tuttlc , the assistant treasurer , mil luld before him his ttchomo for saving the inouoyB hi tbo treasury's vaults. Messengers were sent to the postoflleo department , when every available mull bug was hunted up ane sent back to the treasury , The plan wiis te luck the money into tua bogs , and shoule Hreclccnridgo take the line of forts a tug wv held in readiness on which tno treasure has- were to bo loaded and taken down ttio I'oto mar. There was no other way out of tin city , for JJrockenridge. had destrbvod the tcl cgruph and niilrn.idj running north. AH nloht long ( icnenil Spinner mid Mr Tuttle worked until the gray of early dnwn , filling bugaf lor bag with crisp ( jrconlwoksnnei colas until at last the Uuk was ilublied. A squadron of cavalry was at tbo door of the treasury ready ready to escort the wagons down to tbo boats , but to ills surprise one gratification when General Spinner went t ( the treasury the next morning the first per son ho met was a messenger notifying hln that Cenoral Wright with the Sixth nrmj corps had been tmlu ed up from Now Or leans to i Join McClelland , by way of Fortress Monroe , had been directed to contlnuo up Iho Potomac , and mooting Vrcckcnridgo had , to that Kcutlcmnn's surprise nnd dismay , promptly repulsed Mm. When the clerical forced ot the treasury gathered at the desks a few hours later their nstonlMitncnt can bo better imagined than described nt the condi tion of the vaults. A few hours Inter , how ever , the greenbacks and coins were ngnm taken from tlio mull bags nnd replaced In the vaults. Another Instance of his readiness to moot nn emorpcncy was the formation of the treasury hatnlllon , by which ho organized all the men who had not gene to the front IntonsnuH tiriuy nnd had taken a musket into his b.mels and himself taught them tlio manual of arms , When lltcnmonel wns raptured In April , 1S ( > 5 , the news of the fall of the confederate capital reached Washington nbout 11 o'clock In the mornlug , it was just after tl.o day'n work In tbo treasurer's ' olllco bad fairly begun. General ripinner hastily went to the counter In the cashier's room unel In n volco fairly tremulous with suppressed ex'ltem'ent said i "Put that cash into the vaults and got out from hare M soon ns you can. J want to yell. "Wo have got Richmond 1" No order was ever obeyed moro qulekl or ns perfectly , and In the tremendous shouts of excitement that followed General Spinner's volco was ho.ml loud und clear. To illustrate 'General Spinner's fondness for custom the ono trait which combined with his energy and foresight made his ad ministration of tbo treasury so successful * durlntr the trvlng times of thegovernment a gentleman who called on him la IbMuthls homo in Florida was pleased to observe that tlio general apparently recollected every In stance of his former visit. He nntiinillv felt proud that so much notice had been taken of mm , but his pride was somewhat dampened when tbo Roncrnl drew forth from a stack of books iu his library a memorandum book auet there showed him a faithful account of his previous visit , nnd showed bim , too , that sim ilar accounts had been kept of the visits of every other man. "It lias boon my cu tom , ' ' said the gaiicr.il , In explanation , "to keep a record of every thing , nnd 1 hnvo a whole garret full of note books in which Is recorded every cent thnt I ever received or paid out since I was a boy over eighty years ago. " Probably tbo most striking event of Gen eral Spinner's career in congress was his vote for General Banks ( who , by the way , is at present a member of the house of representa tives ) , by which ho made Banks speaker of the Thirty-fourth congi-osi. General Spinner had been oloe-ti-d by tbo regular organisation of the demiicr.itlc party , but being opposed to slavery ho did not attend the caucus of the democrats for the nomination of ofllcers of the liouso. For obvious reasons ho did not attend the caucuses of thn opposition party for the nomination of General Hanks for "speaker. General Spinner still declined to vote for bim on account of his politics , nud contented hlui- self with voting for several nnti-slavr-ry dem ocrats , but finally on the night of February 1 , just about the time when Banks' friends had become discouraged nnd thought of with drawing fiom the light , Spinner entered thc > room where the conference was being held und ndx-nnrinp to the mlddlo of tbo room dc- claied that although a democrat bo would vote for Hanks for speaker , first , last and all tbo time. His evident determination in spired General Hanks' friends xvith now courage. They renewed the light nud the iiext day Hanks was elected speaker of the Thirty-fourth congress. Of late years tiencr.il Spinner had entirely forsaken his homo In the north and bad re tired to the suiinv climL-s of Florida. A friend who visited him there gave the fol lowing pleasing account of his new homo : "After a quarter of a century of active public labor , and when the snows of age had fallen upon his head , General Skinner made Ills first visit to thu hind of flowers. At tracted bj the tively river , the glowing skies , the genial climuto , and the grataful retire- nioiy , ho determined to droi ) the winters out of his future years , und accordingly miido for himself a homo nnel n garden on the banks of the fair St. John's. "Tho boat house Is the general's loved spot. Built out upon a wharf , extending from the fnir gardens of his residence , anil [ ommandlug a view of great extent and var iety , the sylvan shaded olty of Jacksonville DUt-sm-ead before him : the blue distances of Munuarau to the far ! > outh ; the groves nnel gardens of the enst bank of the St. John's ' justoriposlte , the general's boat house is in deed beautiful lor attraction.

Fifty woiking days will end tlio life of the Fifty-first congress , yet tbo first of the regular annual appropriation bills remains to lo acteel upon by trao senate. The feeling of impatience which this condition of public business has aroused has gathered strength every any over the slRniflcant remarks uttered in debate last week by a senator of recognbed influe-nco , and nppoar to have bael the effect of bringing tbo senate nearer to a change of programme tban has held sway binco congress met in December last. The caucus of republican senators is to beheld held probably Monday morning nnd It is con fidently expected by most republican senat ors that ns tlio result of It , before u week ex pires a crisis will ; have been reached with respect to the election bill nnd the senate will have arrived at a clear understanding of what course Is to bo pursued for tbo remainder of the session. Tbo lines of battle are narrowing nud there is u gathering of forces. A usent re publican senators have beeu requested to re turn anei preparations uro making on both sides of a chamber for u final struggle.

It is cxpocteel , however , that this order will bo made before Tuesday , as a night session Monday woule interfere with tbo desired caucus.

It Is probable that a challenge will bo scut under the "mutual agreement clause" ot tlio deed of gift , and that the dimension clause will bo waived , ns well as the ten months' notice. Thus a i-aco for the cup Is almost sure to bo sailed next fall. If n chal lenge Is sent , Mr. F. D. Morgan will build n llurgess ninety-footer to boat the Volunteer. Mr. U. H.

It mainten ance undoubtedly limits the capacity to doul with periods of exceptional distress. The position thus created leaves part of the social orcatilsm , sick at nil times stricken with a disease from which without extraneous help it has no power to rally. The question is not whether money outfit to bo piven , but how it outfit to bo Riven , to wlrit class mul Tor what special purpose. Charity administered injures the recipients everywhere , but is especially In jurious in tho-o parts.

"KcBurdiiiR the appeal for help , it is need ful to say that the tales of distress need not bo taken as authentic because they ate couched in strong lanpunuo and seem to come from well-informed quarters. "In regard to the failure of tbo potato crop , the small occupiers in the west seem nt ilrst sight nil tilivo much in the same way. They are lodged in small cabins , cultivate tno same kind of holdings nnd are clothed , n the same kind of dress. It would bo natural to conclude thnt in nil plarcs whi'ro the failure of the crop Is the same the distress Is the same , but such i < ? not the en-,0. , In no district does the com munity live wholly on the potato. Every district has n nicntisof livelihood independent of the cultivation of'tho ' potato. The degree of the failure of the potato crop is , therefore , bv itself a misleading guise to the degree of the distress existing among the people. Other elements in tbo position of tbo people nro the amount of their savings and their debt and credit with local tradesmen. Furthermore , in tbo organization of any plan of gratuitous assistance caution is necessary in order thnt it shall not bo necessary to interfere with the system of railway relief works. Several thousands of pounds weekly havo-nlteady been distributed in the form of wages In the district most In need.

Ur.i : . ] Much Important legislation will bo enacted by the Kansas legislature at Its ses sion this month , and much moro will ba passed by the nllianca majority In the IIOUSQ which will not be approved of by the repub lican senate. Alltmicn member. * will como hero \ylth a thorough understanding of what they nnd their constituents want , and the moat Important bills have already boon prepared - pared , discussed , amended niii adopted by the state alliance , so thnt their adoption by the lower house Is a foregone conclusion. The alliance has appointed a legislative com- inlttoo which has been nt work for' nearly two months compiling bills which , ns sooi'i as they wcro In readiness , wcro submitted to the sub-alliances for discussion , and hnvo been remodeled upon suggestions received in this way , So far sixteen have boon nctod upon and are now ready for the approval of the legislature. These are for the extension of the stay law to a period of two years ; a redumption law , giving the mortgagor three- years in which to redeem land , not exceeding : WO ncres , sold under foreclosure ; revision of the chattel mortgacelaw ; a law it-quiring the mortgagee to pay his proportionate , share of tuxes ; n re duction of thornto of Interest to 0 per cent straight , with penalty of forfeiture of princi pal and interest for Us violation ; a revision of assessment nnd taxation laws ; a reduction of salaries of public officers ; n reduction of the state primer's expenses ; school text books to bo published by the state ami fur nished the peonlo at cost ; revision of court officers' fee bills ; adoption of the Australian system of voting and Crawford system of primaries ; a law requiring railroad coin- mlssloncis to bo elected by the people ; a law prohibiting alien ownership of land ; a law requiring land sold under fore closure to bring the amount of Judgment and costs ; n law suppressing the i'lnkerton de tectives or similar orpmczations In the state : nndjsui'h n reduction of railroad tariffs ns will yield an annual income not exceeding 0 per cent on the actual Investment , The platform of the republican party adopted nt the state convention contained de mands for the passage of some of these laws , notably these prohibiting the niton owner ship of land and requiring railroad commis sioners to bo elected by the people. As there is no diversity of opinion on those subjects they will be passed by the legislature. At the session of ISS'J ' the republican senate ap pointed a codifying committee to revise cer tain laws looking toward a retrenchment in the expenses of the state. The committee submitted its report last week and recom mended bills reducing the salaries of state and county ollicors , nnd of the btato printer's fees , revising the assessment and taxation laws and court officer. } ' fee bills. While the recommendation of the committee will not agrco In every particular with the demands which will bo made by the alliance , they are on the same line and will not UiftVr so greatly that , a compromise cannot bo effected. The senate committee also recommends the free system of text books , and although the alli ance does not go so far as this , it will un doubtedly bo agreed to. The Australian bal lot system was also thoroughly discussed by the senate committee , but was not recom mended because of the expense entailed. The republicans , however , will not oppose it if it Is introduced as an alliance measure , ns it will be. A law. requiring the mortgagee to p.iv his proportion of the taxes will not re ceive republican opposion , but the proposition to malto the legal rate of interest 0 per cent w ill bo stubbornly fought nnd will undoubtedly bo defeated in the senate. The bill providing for the extension of the stay law nnd for a redemption law giving the mortgagor three years in which to redeem land sold under mortgage foreclosure , will meet with similar fate nt tbo hands of the republicans. The law requiring land bold under foreclosure to bring the amount of Judgment nnd costs has few champions among the lopubliean legisla tors. It is not likely thnt any of the radical rail road legislation proposed by the alliance will pass muster in the republican senate. The moans which they suggMt for curing exist ing evils In that direction are deemed im practicable , and will bo either killed bv amendments or buried in committee. Their schctno for reducing railroad tariffs to a basis which will yield au annual income not ex ceeding (1 ( per cent on the actual investment , is thoono which they will strive hardest to accomplish. The amount represented by the capital stock and bonds ot a railroad com pany will not bo accepted as the trim vulua- ation of the investment , but a careful estima tion of the actual cust of construction and eiiuipmcntof roads will bo taicen as the basis upon which tariffs shall bo made.

The clover comedian , who has given Uii name to the organization , has a largo and personal following in this city , and his popu larity , aside from his fame as a laugh-raiser , is ample assurance of a successful engagement hero.

SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE The Republican Machinery is in Perfect Working Order. SOME PROSPECTS OF A COMBINATION , It JIny Olvo tlio Democrats and Indo * pcndeMitH thn Control of tlio IlotiHC Senator Chances. Piniinn , S. D. , Jan.I. . [ Special Telegram to Tun Dit : ; . ] Tuesday next , at noon , the second meeting of the South Dakota legisla ture will convenn in this olty. Already the members and interested paitloi nro on the ground with nu eye to being of some assist- unco in thu organization of the two houses , Thcro certainly never was n legislature more perplexing us to its outcome than this ono nt this tlmo. It Is simply impossible to toll whether the republicans will organize cither house or not The probabilities nro , however - over , that the republicans will hnvo a major ity in the senate , nnd that a combination of the independents nnd democrats will bo e'ffectod for the control of tbo house. The reason for this Is that the republican ma- chlno has been working perfectly since election nnd all its forces nro In harmonious action , while these of the other two parties have been left to tnko earo of themselves as best they could. This argues well for republican success ; nnel so much pleased with their work so far nro the republican lenders thnt they are today confidently claiming thnt they will bo nblo to organise both house * . Senator Moody arrived Thursday night and , of course , was nt once the eontorof his campaign for -elcctiou. . Kritlny night ho wns reinforced by his colleague1 , Senator i'eit- egrow , and it may be put down as a fact that the republican orgaui/ntion is working as a unit for Senator Moodv'selectlon. \Vhilo it Is impossible to tell anything of what the outcome will be , everything being at sea , there is this ouo thing In favor of re publican success that the party Is perfectly orgnni/.ed. lloth the Independents nnd democrats nro confident that they will pave n working ma jority In both noascs. But the difficulty of telling what tbo outcome will bo , is thnt it fs impossible to determine how some of tbo independent members will voto-whether they will act with the republicans or demo crats. It Is true they have been elected in opposition to the regular rcpiiolican candi dates , but this does not prove that they will bo averse to working with the republican organ ballon. The fuct that tlio republicans nro feollin ; so Jubilant and that they have been looking after their fences so carefully , would go tn show that these doubtful ones have been brousht Into lino. The locking of horns on the part of the farmers' alliance and democrats would seem to further confirm tills. tills.There There are two kinds of independents , these elected by republicans in opposition to ivgu- lar republican candidates and tboso elected by what Is known as the fanners' nlliane-o. Then there is n still further division these elected by fusion tickets of the republicans , farmers' alliance and democrats nirainst the regular republican ticket. So it it will bo seen that things are considerably mixed. In short , no ono can predict how the organization of the council will go until after it is orgnui/.ed. There is only ono thing to go by and that is that the Moody men have bceu in the Held ever since the election and they are workers nnd know a great deal bettor what they are doing than any of tno other elements. So that Moody's chances of election seem to bo far in the lead of the o of any other1 But , as the public has ulrcnely been pretty well informed , the ro republican chances of success do not depend altogether upon Moody's chances. If moody can not secure a majority thero- . are other men in the party who probably can. Most prominent among these is Congressman J. A. Plckler. It has been charged against Pickler that his clnetlon as senator woulel no- cessltnto the election of another congress man and there might bo a chance of the inde pendents securing this position. Besides , there would bo the expense of a special elec tion , which the stnto can little afford nt this timo. In this cnso Governor Mellotto has been promincntlv mentioned for United States senator. Tbcro are plenty of men in the republican party who would run well in case Moody docs not secure n majority. The only candidate so far named who , in this respect , can at all compare with Moody is Judge Bartlett Tnpp of Yankton , the dom- ocratlo candidate. But even Tripp , while an able Jurist , has not had the experience which fits him for the poslMon of senator that Moody has hiiel the mingling and acquaintance with , the best statesmen of the country. But ns Tripp is a democrat in republican Dakota , there is little show for him , sd far us'can bo scon at present. The independents so fnrdonot socm to n&vo settled on any man. They hnvo so many can didates that it is etlillcult to say which one is In the lead. Major J. N. Harden , who was the democratic candidate for congress in the last territorial election , anel who has since joined the farmers' nlliunco party , is thought by some to hold the winning hand. Anel really ho elocs socm to hnvo the best chances of his party so far mentioned. IIo is probably about as able a man as his partv contains. Another hopeful candidate is Hon. S. E. Young of Sioux Falls , who was the speaker of the last house. Young joined the independents just in tlmo to give him some show , but the chief trouble scorns to bu that ho halls Jrnm the sumo town that Senator Pettigrow does , and location operates to a great extent In this htato. There are plenty for the candidates but nonei partlcuiaily prominent nud they prob ably ouu'lit to bo put in the catalogue of "dark horses. " It does not seem to bo the general Impres sion that tlio orpanlratiou of- the legislature will mnlto much difference with its work. The farmers have had control of South Dakota's legislature for several years past and they are In a majoiity this jear , icgnrdless of party lines. It is moit likely thnt the principal part of tbo legislation this winter will be passed on its merits. South Dakota- Is nn agricultural state and It Is not i'mppio- ' priato that bur farmers should make her laws. Among the issues that will bo discussed bv this assembly nre , iu importance , probably about as follows : Fir-it. The question of stnto finance. There is nu doubt now but South Dakota has been ( julto as recklessly rxtr&vagimt in her public affairs as In tier private. As In all such cases thora comes a day of reckoning. So this state's has com ) . Last year some $109,1)00 ) was appropriated. This year not moro than half Unit amount can bo realized from the state's sources of incomei , nnd ns the consti tution limits the indebtedness to f TOD.OOO , nnd that , amount has nlrc.idy DCCII reached , it looks very much as though thu expenditures will liavoto bo reduced correspondingly. This will iiece-.ssitato the most ilgld economy , for South Dakota is a big state and with her eleven largo publio institutions , out-sido of the itiito house1 , it costs something to grease the wheels of government. Hut that luir people can economize when they have to , will probably bo demonstrated this winter. It teoma to bo a case of "havo to. " There will probably bu u clamor for a rnlsoofthe tax levy which is now only two mills , hut it is hardly likely that Iho temper of the le-glsla- turo Will admit of any rhmie-e to increase thu t-ixe'.i , but will rather favor n radical reduc tion ( if public expense's. lu this line it is likely trmt the si7,0 of the legislature will bo redueod from lel ! ( , Its prot on t membership , to at least KXltwentyfive ) lu the f-cnnto and soventy-fivo In the house ) . It Is possible that the prohibition niacud- mimt wllll bo re-submlttcd , but u strong fl ht will no mudo to rid the htato of the law. Both sideis of the question will have loublcs pres ent during tlio session. v\ll talk to the contrary , there is likely to bo no radical legislation of any kind , particu larly in regard to railroids . It is quite poisiblo that the present ndlroad commission of three members will lit ) abandoned on economical grounds South Dakota appreciates the value of rail roads , for her railroads have always treated her most fairly nnd consk'erately ' , and will do nothing to hinder theiir progress. It Is doubtful It the Australian ballot law will p.us , principally on account of the ex- punsu It would entail nt this tlmo , although there Is a pruat clamor for It from the leading men of the stuto.
