Cleveland excites much remark, but
everybody knows Why they chopped"
Those big Railroad spectators are ''all
things TO all men" to gain their own
profit. Jay Gould swore, on the witness
stand, 1t was the custom when men
received nominations to come to me
for contributions, and made them and
considered them paying investments.
In Republican district l was strong
Republican. In Democratic district |
was Democratic. And in doubtful dis

This recalls the romark of North Car

to elect our men, and gain tho roads

A Manufacturing Business
can easily be established at Pierre, ow-
ing to the low freight rates obtained,
competition between river and railroad
transportation, the abundance Of wood,
which is now selling for 81 a cord, and
the immense quantity of coal and other
raw material in the adjacent reservation
west of the river.
A Jobbing Trade
has already endeveloped by Pierre mer-
chants with the Black Hills and the
country up and down the river, and
with lower rate of freight than can be
obtained at Watertown or Huron, or
any other point in South Central Dako-
ia, and being the only railroad point on
the boundary Of the reservation soon to
be opened, Pierre is destined to become q
great jobbing center.
Activity in Real Estate
began last year and more sales were
made than in the previous two yesrs OF
the city's growth, and there has been .
healthfu], gradual advance in the price
of city property, and every one has made
money by operating in real estate. The
indications point to an early springs
business and an advance in prices.

Chicago & Northwestern and Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railways. Ship
ments via. the latter line to it's Missouri
River terminus at Chamberlain are sent
up the river to Pierre for trans-shipment
to the Hills. The traffic between

the transportation of freight there are
10000 oxen and mules and 1000 men
constantly employed. the tonnage
amounting to about 70, 600, 0o0 pounds
per annum, ,and the money annually paid
for freightipg, amounting to over $780,
600 is expended in Pierre.
