DAVID nVTlKn.
The death of David Hutlor removes
from Hfo ono of the rugged pioneers
who helped to lay the foundations of
tills commonwealth. As the first gov
ernor of Nebraska after her admission
into Iho union , lie was largely Instru
mental in tlio location of the capital
and may bo truthfully regarded as
the founder of the city of Lincoln.
That city will remain a per
petual monument to his foresight
and indomitable pluck. Ho was not
only tlio godfather of tlio city of Lin
coln , but tlio founder of Us lending news
paper , tbo Journal , which ho generously
donated to its present editor as n mark
of his esteem and good will ,
A Bolf-mado man In the fullest sense of
thu word , David Duller rose from the
poor plmvboy to the governorship of this
state by the sheer oxortlon of Irresistible
will-power , coupled with natural talonls
of no mean order. Wllhout a liberal
education and with very limited monnj
nt ills command ho trained himself to bo
a fyrreful and Impressive speaker , and
by liirf innnto magnetism drew to himself
the following which for years was de
votedly attached to him. In 1808 09 ho
came within two votes of being nom
inated United States senator In a repub
lican leglslatlvo convention whore a
nomination was tantamount to an elec
tion.
tion.David
David Butler's public career would
have doubtless raided him to thu highest
position within the gift of the people of
this state had ho not succumbed to tbo
pernicious influences of political asso
ciates who imposed upon his itnmilslvo
generosity and led him astray from the
palh of duly.
Tin ; natural sympathies of David But
ler wore always with the common poo-
plf > , and ho strongly favored many of the
Bocial and political reforms for which
the toiling masses are struggling , and
among his immediate neighbors lie al
ways had n host of warm friends.
( ' ] , iMKA'Cl' TO ClilMlNJLS.
In the Fremont jail two murderers
await execution under Bcnto.nco of death
for the crime of murdering a neighbor
for money. The evidence at the trial
was conclusive as to their guilt and no
palliating circumstances were shown.
Able attorneys represented the con
demned men in the lower courts and car
ried tholr cases to the supreme court of
the stato. That tribunal alllrmod the
verdict of the lower court , and now
nothing but the governor of the state or
the hand of God can prevent them from
expiating their awful crime upon the
gallows.
Executive clemency is asked for the
murderers. The appeals of a brother
of one of the murdered men secured a
numerously signed petition , and among
the mi in o.s attached are these of eleven
of the jurors who convicted them. Of
course counter protests have been circu
lated , and as few men will refuse to sign
a petition when presented by a friend , it
likewise contains a long list of names.
There is now altogether too much un
certainly about the law. Men are will
ing'to take chances of punishment for
Iho very reason lhat the processes of the
courts are neither swift nor sure.
The frequent mistakes of courts nnd
juries involving now trials at great
expense and the tendency to lenldncy
rt in uio cuuritt nro ciliony
responsible for the appeal to lynch law
so deplorably common/ There is a gen
eral letting down of severity in the
courts of our land nnd a disposition
; imong the people to condone criminals
whore trial occurs months after the
crime IH committed ,
The eleven jurors undoubtedly fol
lowed a human instinct in signing a
potilion for executive interference , but
Ihoro is lee much weakness of this
characlor displayed by jurors , prosocnl-
ing ollieors nnd the bench. The law
should take its course where guilt is un
questioned nnd no pallinting circum
stances intervene. Jurors should not
nullify their own work after the
trial by asking the governor to pro
tect u criminal from the just conso-
quoucos of his crime and the proper
roHults of tholr vordlct. The majesty
and dignity of the law can only bo main
tained by its impartial enforcement. So
long ns death on the gallowri is the pen
alty of murder It should bo impossible ,
except in such rare instances as rouse a
whole community in behalf of the con
demned on account of palliating clrcum-
to avert it Punishmopt should
inevitably follow conviction , especially
where conviction Is the result of incon
trovertible evidence of guilt.
ADDITIONS TO THK FKDKlfALJUDICIAltV
It is understood that the flvo land
court judges to bo appointed by the
president have boon selected , and that
their ii'imps will bo announced this
week. It is also said tliat two of them
will bo democrats , an arrangement that
would moot with very general approval.
President Harrison has boon commended
by men of all parties for the high char
acter of his judicial appointments thus
far , nnd ho will certainly increase his
claims to the esteem of tbo country if in
the boloction of j nugos ho has
yet to make ho gives his political
opponents a minority representation.
From tlio partisan point of view it may
not be of very great importance whether
the judges are republicans or democrats.
It is to the honor of our federal judiciary
that partisan politics has rarely oxcrtod
much Inlluonco upon it. The republican
supreme court of the United States is a
conspicuous example of this , oven down
to its latosl decision maintaining the
rights of the states ns firmly as a
democratic court could have done , while
in several conspicuous instances
it hiw annulled the nets of republican
congresses , regarded nt the time ns being
vital to party interests , ns unconstitu
tional. It has boon domonbtrntod thnt
ns n rule republicans and democrats
alike , when elevated to the federal judi
ciary , put nsldo their partisanship and
modify , if they do not abandon vdiollv ,
the prejudices Incident to
it. With mon
worthy of such a position Its effect is to
elevate and broaden their mental vision
and free tholr judgment from the cramp
ing influence of party allegiance , and
there have boon very few it
our judicial history who have
not boon thug affected. It is.-thoroforo
not of very vital concern which party
our federal judges are taken from , bill
n republican president may very prop
erly recognize the party in opposition ,
comprising about half the people of the
country , by giving it representation in
his judlclalappolnlmonls. From every
polnl of view it would bo judicious , and
President Harrison will mnko no mis
take if he avail himself of the opportun
ity to sot so valuable an example. With
regard to the appointment of the nine
judges for the now circuit courts of
appeal , there id no definite information
ns to the intentions of the president. It
was staled n few days ago lhat ho had
determined not to make the appoint *
tncnts until the names of these selected
could be sent to the senate for canflrmn-
tlon , nnd as ho is not likely to call a
special session of the senate for the pur
pose Ibis would postpone the appoint
ments until next December. The law
provides that the con r Us shall bo organ
ized on the Ihlrd Tuesday of June , 1891 ,
which is the llth ( of next month , and it
would seem lo bo desirable lhat
the judges should be appointed
before tluit time , but it
hns boon hold that this is not absolutely
noeossnry ; that tlio organization of tho.
now courts can bo olTooted by
the member of the supreme court
in each circuit and the cir
cuit and district judges. If the presi
dent has abandoned the theory urged
early in the discussion regarding the ap-
potnlmcnt of Ihcso judges , lhat they
could bo selected when the senate is not
in .session by virtue of the authority
given the president to 1111 vacancies dur
ing the recess of congress , it is highly
probable that the appointments will
not bo made before next December -
comber , nnd perhaps this will bo the
visor course to pursue. It would bo
something of n hardship to senators ,
only to bo justtllod by very urgent ne
cessity , to call a special senate for the
solo purpose of confirming tlio appoint-
nont of these judges , and there are
valid objections , constitutional ami
otherwise , to appointing them when the
onnto is not in session.
Hardly any work done by the last congress -
gross was more Important than that for
enlarging and strengthening the federal
udlcinry , and there is every reason to
jxpcct that the president's appoint-
nents will moot Iho approval of the
country. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Till } OHMIXA It 1'ACK.WK DKCISIOX.
The decision of the supreme court of
the United States affirming the validity
and constitutionality of the original
jnckago law jnisscd by the last congress ,
cstnbli&hcs some Important principles
lithcrtoin doubt or in dispute. Ono of
; heso is embraced in the proposition
that tlio constitution does not provide that
intorstito commerce shall bo free. The
: > ewer lo regulate this commerce belongs
exclusively lo congress , and it cannot bo
ntorforred with by a state in Ihe oxociso
of ils police power , which is also
exclusive , bul congress may provide lhat
any article of commerce , which the leg
islature of a state declares to bo injuri
ous to the health or morals of its people
and excludes from its territory , shall bo
subject to the state law. It is Only in
cases where congress fails to exorcise its
power that state laws which would bo a
restraint upon Interstate commerce are
inoperative , the presumption being that
thq failure of congress to act is un ex
pression of its will that the sub
ject afleoted by state legislation
shall bo free from restrictions
or impositions. It being admit
ted that intoxicating liquors are sub
jects of commerce llko other commod
ities , it follows that congress may go lo
any length in giving warrant to states
in imposing restraints and bu"duns upon
articles of commerce which their legis
latures declare to bo prejudicial to the
health or morals , the good order and
prosperity of their pooplo. There is , of
course , no danger that congress will
over go to oxtretnos in the exorcise of
its power in this direction.
Another principle established by
the decision is , that a state
law of the character involved in
this case does not require to bo ro-
onnctcd when Iho obstacle * to its opera
tion is removed by act of congress. It
was ono of the contentious of Iho do-
ieudanls in llils case thai the Kansas
law must bo re-enacted to bo operative
against liquors brought into the state
before the original package law of
congress wont into effect , and this view
was sustained by the Uulled Slates cir
cuit court. But the suproma court de
cides that the law of congress was not
permissive to the state to act , but
fairaply removed an impediment to
the enforcement of a law which
It was competent for the slate to pass.
The power of Iho stale was already com-
plolo so far as the onactmontof Iho law
was concerned , nnd it w.is only neces
sary for congress to plnco the property
where jurisdiction could 'ittachnnd ' _ this
it did by passing the original package
law.
Tho-docislon is explicit in its enuncia
tion of the exclusive police powers of the
state , and it in to bo noted ns unusual
that the court was unanimous as to the
conclusions reached. The immediate
offbctT'of the decision will probably bo amore
moro vigorous movement in the prohibi
tion states for the enforcement of the law
against the importation of liquors , with
the result of Increasing popular senti
ment against that policy. It is well that
the question has boon settled , and thu
powers of the states anil of congress In
relation to it have baun closely defined.
THU IlItAVK Hllt1S.
Within the ! 1/)00 square miles of terri
tory embraced in the Black Hills exist
almost all the Ireasures of the earth.
The claim Is boldly made , and sus
ceptible of proof , that no other noctlon
of Iho continent , of equal area , ap-
proaohos it in variety nnd .abundance of
natural resources.
A variety of obstacles operated to pre
vent an aggressive continuous dovolop-
montof tlio region. Wrested from savages
by force , ita virgin valleys baptized with
the blood of pioneers , ll remained for
10 years prnullcnlly Isolated from Iho
rest of the world. The dungor.s in

and deep the foundations of a score of
flourishing communltlns.
No holler proof of Iho richness of its
ireclotts metals could bo furnished
j , hat the outpm"Welded a hindsomo return -
turn to the m iei after paying the enor
mous i-oat of Ir.insporliillon to the rail
road. The trtbulo levied by primitive
tran.snortnllon coinpMiics was a severe
drain on Iho ( jnou-jflcs of the paoplo. It
virtually prov tcd the development of
ill but the richest mineral bodies. As
: i consequence : ' worlc was restricted ,
low grade - > eves and the baser
metals loft JL'fiutouchod , and the
growth of , Um country materially
checked. Thosp'condltions have disap
peared. Two iMllrouds now penetrate
the Hills , on the cast and wostftldos , nnd
Lholr oporntlon have given n marked im
petus to the country. The ono great
need prompt and adequate transporta
tion facilities is supplied. The sluggish
channels of trade have boon invigorated ,
prospecting and development encour
aged , and industries increased nnd
strengthened.
The opening of these hljrhwaya to the
heart of trade and Induslry ffcaces the
Black Hills on the high road to pros-
peril ) ' . The olToct Is already appar
ent in the confidence displayed , the
activity prevalent in the mining camps
and vigorous energy shown in the de
velopment of mines nnd reduction of min
erals heretofore untouched. Not only are
the gold and silver interests developing
splendidly but the tin , copper , coal ,
iron , loud , mica , zinc and ether minerals
nro attracting enterprising investors.
Prominent among the mineral ro-
bonrcos of the Hills are the vast de
posits of tin ore. To the outside world
the extent and importance of Ihoso do-
poslls were practically unknown until
South Dakota became a sovereign stale.
Ils senators and "oprcsonlativcs In
congress , during the tarlll do-
bale , not only demonstrated tholr
importance as a factor in the industrial
progress of the nation , but succeeded in
placing a duty on the foreign" product.
The extent and variety of the deposits ,
comprising 600 known lodes , coupled
with the encouragement accorded by
Iho national government , will go far
toward giving the Black Hills a prac
tical monopoly of the country's tin sup
ply before many years.
The resources of Iho Hills nro not lim
ited to the motnls. It is solf-sustnining
agriculturally and borders on a vast
area of grazing land capable of supply
ing the wants of several million beef
caters. Building stone abounds in inex
haustible quantities , 03 well as marble ,
cement and cluy. In fact this favored
region contains in lavish abundance the
resources necessity to rear prosperous
industrial communities. All obstacles
to their development are removed , and
the Black Hills onlersactively upon the
career of prosperity n bountfful nature
designed for ils , jjoop'lo.

needed for special coses. Thoordor calls for
Hour In lots of 4UOO nnd 0,000 pounds ,
com meal In lots of 13,000 and 4,000
pounds , moat in lots of TOO and 1,000
pounds , beans in six and twelve bushel lots ,
rice , hominy and oatmeal in ono aim two bar
rel lots. These supplies will bo shipped
within a day or two to the following places :
Mason City , Ouster county : Kddyville , Dawson -
son ; Dcnkclman , Dnnily ; Curtis , Frontier ;

Franklin nnd Ulvorton , Franklin ; Burn welt ,
Oarflcld ; Wallace and Brady Island , Lincoln :
AlcPhorson , Mol'horson ; Ionp City and
Hazard , Sherman ; Thcdford , Thomas.
The commission ha * seun some strange
puoscs 01 nuinan nuiuro. un ino
recommendation of Bishop Bonnciim and
John Fitzgerald it sunt a supply
of corn and about $11 ! . ' ! worth of ether art
icles to Eddyvlllo , a small town In the north
ern part of Uawson county. The commission
received two nnnonymous kicking letters.
The authois have been hunted down and
found to bo transient residents. Ono , signed
"Citi/en in and Around Eddyvlllo , " was
written on u letterhead obtained surrepti
tiously from the postmaster and read us fol
lows :
' 'Tho committee hero do not demand so
much of the state aid as you are sending
hero. Most people that are getting aid live
nearer Lexington and other towns than they
do hero nnd a great many never have any
thing more than they have this season. They
do not raise a crop if the season is good. The
aid is n nurse to the country. "
The other letter , signed "Suffering Human
ity , " tries to bo facetious :
"Wo are very thankful for the relief you
have already sent us , and now if you can only
send bomo tobacco , a few suits of summer
clothing , n few hammocKs , ono dozen .fishing
tackle nnd a llttlo of Paddy' * eye water and
ether necessaries of llfo you will confer a
great favor. "
Adopting Its established policy , the com
mission investigated the matter. It found
the people deserving relief mid the supplies
were prounrly distributed by M. D. Billmoy-
cr , who was appointed by the count ) ' olll-
cors.
Noticing in Tin : Bin : that C. P. Thompson ,
arrested near Bcnklrm.in for moonshining ,
was reported to bo a distributor of relief sup
plies , Secretary Luddon went through all the
records hut failed to llnd that he had received
any .supulies from the commission. The dis
tributor fin the precinct in which Thompson
lived isV. . J. Bnuioy. Thompson may have
haudlod private donations , but ha distrib
uted nostixto supplloh.
