in its position that the present time is
not one in which to agitate the relo,
cation of the county seat, but to a
man up a tree it looks as though it
was giving the voters of 5rule county
tafy when he says "when the time
comes we will, if living, advocate
whatever will subserve the best in
@terests Of the people generally with
out regari to any pecnniarv interests
of our own" The Democrats argu-
ment stripped from gloss and cover
ing is this. 1t wants this matter
postponed until Pukwana has gained
greater strength, as we'll as several
other towns, 50 that when the relo-
cation of the county sea- is brought
up again, there will be several candi-
dates in the field, and in the strife
none can gain the necessary two
thirds vote; thus leaving the county
seat III Chamberlain where fcur-fifths
of the voters will not want it.
1t is said that Foote aud Bloeser
have arranged to ship 10 kegs of beer
into the vicinity of Ployd, and GER
tain Kimball men have offered n
man 500 and two town lots in Kim
ball ii he would only go for that town
for the county seat. The Kimballites
may find that Brule Co. people are
not for sale, and some of them NAV
find offering brides is Just as bad as
some other crimes. These are the
high moral temperance fellows those
kimball men are.-Chamberlain
Register.
The above is worthy the source from
which itcomes. The Register should
be in better business than manufacture
ing lies of the above description about
respectable citizens Of Brule county.
When did the editor Of the Register
learn that ''Brule county people are
not for sale?' when he offered pensions
for signatures to his remonstrance
against the board if commissioners
ordering an election; when he offered
to trade the post-master-ship Of KIM
ball to parties if they would work for
Chamberlain, or was it when the
Chamberlain gang were down to JOS
eph Havla:ka's place on Sunday last
to hoodwink the Bohemians?
The Chamberlain Register las,
week contained nearly three columns
of matter protesting against the re-
moval of the county seat. Bro. King
gets down upon his knees and says:
"Oh please good people of Bru!e
county, please don't take the county
seat away from us; it's all we've got;
all We ever will have and we must
have it." Then gets he upon his feet
and swears by all that's great that
Kimball shall not have it, and calls
us Pharisees, hypoclites and a lot of
other sweet names for which the
Registers never at a loss to find.
But a careful sitting of all the case
Gus editorials the paper contains fails
to find one single denial of all the
reasons given by the Kimball papers
Whv the county seat should not re-
main at Chamberlain. Bro. King ad-
mits everything, even to the fact tina,
the Register has done all the county
printing for three years "a fact, by
the way, which is foreign TO the q,,es-
ti"n at issue) and then labors through
a column of matter to show wlly the
county seat sh ,uld remiin where it is,
which boiled down amounts to lust
this much: That it ought not to be
removed because all the land across
the river rightfully belongs to Cham
berlain although held by Uncle Sam
AS though the opening of the res
ervation was going to make any diff
ference one way or the other to the
farmers Of Brule county, or make
Chamberlain easier of access That
it ought not to be removed because
Chamberlain has such men as Goody-
koontz, who resigned 4 senator's po-
s;tion to come to Brule county to
save the people; Major Kellam who
resigned the presidency of a good
bank and an enormous salary to in.

This is all. Read the Register up
and down and across, boil it down
with the supplement it sent out by
mail and it's all the argument YOU
