Chas. Knell, the wife of an industrious
Swede, now with the Memphis and Kansas

had cut in Kansas, and it would bring
luck if he was allowed to buy the tickets.
They gave him 80 cents each, and he pur-

The DeSmet leader. (DeSmet, Kingsbury Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1886-05-22


The evidence multiplies that the
southern reporters failed to telegraph
all the disloyalty that the unhanged
traitor Jeff Davis gave utterances to in
his southern tour. The worst express
sions were toned down or omitted alto
gether, but some of the auditors who
were present, and who are loyal men,
are beginning to supply these deficien-
cies. Among them is Mr.. Norman Por-
ter. Of Carlisle, Pa, grandson of
ex-Gov. Porter, of that State, who was
present at Montgomery. and who says:
when jeff Davis delivered his speech
at Montgomery ! was present and
heard every word he said. The crowd
was an immense one. and the cheering.
when he said anything particularly
vindictiye against the north, was very
loud. l listened and kept quiet, al
though my blood boiled within me. un-
til Davis said, / often prayed to God to
live to see the day when both Lincoln
and Grant were dead and in HI, and
do Ibl pidSti LIS btGil SldiIttu lui
ready TO die
The infamous, disloyal and blasphem-
Gus statement was too much for Porter's s
loyal blood. and though he was in tie
midst of jeff Davis sympathizers and
friends, who were Justify applauding
these brutal utteranceS, lie resented it
with the remark: Its pity jeff Davis
wasn't hanged at Fortress Monroe"
Upon this some cowardly wretch in the
crowd slashed him in the face with a
knife and then ran away. Mr., Porter
is not the only northern man who re-
grets the leniency of Lincoln and
Grant, and thinks it an awful pity that
the traitor was not hanged and his lost
cause" thereby ineffably disgraced.
The same thought is in the mind of
every loyal man, and should jeff Davis
venture across Mason and Dixon's line
il will not be long before he will be in a
position to know what the northern
people think Of him, as well as of the
crowd which applaud such deyilish
sentiments.

In reply to statement in the YaIlk-
ton Herald that the citizens Of lank-
ton have to pay from to 8 per cent for
the use of money, while the citizens Of
Sioux City are accommodated for per
cent or less per year, the Sioux City
journal remarks:
Why has Iowa such great advantage
over Dakota in the matter specified by
the Herald? Because it is State. and
becouse as a State it has fully power to
protect its credit and to pass laws which
will he an invitation and protection to
outside capital Tie people Of south
Dakota, on the other hand, are denied
adequate powers of self-government,
and held in provincial subsection rs a
Territory, and are utterly at the mercy
Of such influences as those above com
planned of. They are suffering from
these untoward conditions every day
and they are asking for self-govcrnmont
as State for their own protection
This is an argument made long ago
in behalf of Statehood, and one as true
to-day as it was in the beginning OF
DakOta's efforts. Statehood is needed
in the interest Of business prosperity as
well rs of political veal. Under our
present chaotic form Of government nc
protection is thrown about capital, and
capital is therefore timid and high
priced. A single session Of our Terri.
torial Legislature can plunge our Ter
ritory hopelessly into debt and depre.
ciate values until property will nc
longer be accepted as security. There
are no restrictions upon the debt-creat.
ing power Of our Legislature, and
capital is quick to ascertain that condi-
ton. The cities Of Dakota would to.
dav be the scenes of active constructive
improvements if they could secure the
capital of the East to which their real
value entities them, capital which is
ready and anxious to come as soon as
absolute safety is guaranteed under the
provisions of a State constitution. This
fact of itself should induce every citizen
to put his shoulder to the statehood
wheel and help push the vehicle along.

grace even to ultra partisanship. When
ever the affairs of the territory have
been considered by Democrats at Wash
ington, it is with the sole object of de-
vising some pretext for keeping Dakota
as she is. The scheme for division of
the territory on the Missouri river has
apparently fallen through. 1t was
broached only in order to oppose and
kill off the proposition for division on
tire foIty-sixth parallel, but the senti-
nent Of the territory was so dead
agaih st it that it has been abandoned.
Theonly resource of a party driven des-
perate is to offer admiss'on to the terri
tory as a whole, under such conditions
as will at least keep it out until after
another presidential election. The SIN
gle argument against the Harrison bill
has been that there was no proof that
the people of Dakota actually desired
division. although they have expressed
themselves To that effect on every pos
sible occasion, by the most decided and
unanimous votes. 1t does not seem to
have occurred to Democrats that if an
other expression Of opinion were neces-
sary before division and admission
could be granted, such an expression
would also be in place before admission
as whole, against which there is
known to be protest. If the directors
to the Harrison bill had been honest. as
they were not, it would have been en-
tircly proper for them to favor one of
the plans proposed, which was to au-
thorize the people Of the territory as Il
whole to vote anew upon the question
of division, and. in case of decision
in its favor, to have prepored an en-
abling act by which the president
could at once admit the southern Ehalf
by proclamation. This, however. would
mean business and sincerity and there
Is no notion Of either in the Democrat
ic mind, as far as Dakota is concerned.
Clearly the people of that territory
must help themselves, preparatory to
calling the nation TO their assistance.
They never have sanctioned and they
will bot look with favor upon anything
revolutionary. But it is in order for
them to announce formally to the
country that otter careful fultilment of
every necessary preliminary, they have
framed articles Of government for
themselves, and made righteous and
respectful application for admission.
They have been rejected under circum-
stances which are proof positive that
they will never meet with better success
until they can bring in their hands a
pledge to vote the Democratic ticket.
Their case is now i'm tie hands of the
nation, 1t will be no unimportant part
of the issue in the next congressional
elections. We believe that they will
have the hearty support of all believers
i'll self lf-government, and of all who love
liberty as opposed to the causeless and
lLsolent tyranny OF party power.

The Science of Newspaper Advertising.
Navsnapor ad yartisipy ic po,u a Sniavco

The Science of Newspaper Advertising.
Newspaper advertising is now a science,
and Is as near perfection in getting at re-
turns a; 1t well can be. There has been ~
revolution in the manner of conducting ad-
vert sing agencies, and the methods in
vogue few years since would prove ut
terly worthless now. Tho provincial press
at one time would willingly accept anything
in payment for advertising, and producers
Of patent articles, unknown to the general
public, found no difficulty in inducing
county newspapers and in many instances
tho city press IN the smaller cites or coun-
try not only TO accept the articles advor-
tised in payment, but would manage to ger
enough cash out OF the publisher, in adtli-
tion to the advertising, to at least pay tina
original cost of tho article advertised.
All this Is changei now. 1t is almost.
impossible to find newspaper, be it ever 20
modest in Iretensions, willing to ACCEPT
SUI, Ia terms. The fact has finally been re-
allied by newspaper publishers that 10 new
articles can be successfully introduced to
the public without the aid of the p.ess, q
fact which was always known to the adj
vertiser, anu 'traie contracts are fast be-.
coming relics OF the past Notwithstanding
which fact newspaper advertising Is on tho
increase, while bin posting is growiny moro
and more unpopular every yeaE.--N. Al.

Communication.

EDITOR OF LEADER.-Dear Sir: We
were q little surprised to see in the
issue of April "A your full Endorsement
Of the article on Farmers Alliances
copied from the Pierre Free Press. 1t
seems very much as if you had just
awakened from RIP Van Wrinkle"
nap to cherish the hope that farmers
should not have their say in politics.
The world moves on; to-day and yes
teIday are not the same. Twenty years
ago party ties may have had some in
fiuence on faI1ker's organizations, but
at present these ties mean but little.
Farmers are organizing all over the
country, and, whether Grange, Alliance
or farmers clubs, all unanimously agree
that the farmer must make his power
felt in the political world in order TO
get his just deserts.
Politicians do not care to inquire
into the wants and grievances of the
farmers until he takes decided stand
for his rights and insists on being
recognized.
Both political parties seem to be
afraid of the great questions of the day.
What has Congress done at the last
session? If bill originates in one
house it is killed by the other out of
mere jealousy, not out of principle or
justice. Our commerce ought To be
cleared of its loads Of adulterated
products. The temperance cause is
calling for legislation. The farmer,
though holding vast amount OF
capital and millions Of votes. is scarcely
recognized and is robbed of his just
earnings, while labor is groaning under
load Of oppression.
What do the people care for party at
such times as this? They wish to see
justice done, and will ere long demand
it. Our great land tracts are about
occupied. People will not go West
much longer Macaulay prophesied
that our form of government would
last as long as we had plenty of vacant
lands, and that then the masses, being
most numerous, would overthrow the
capitalist. The test will probably soon
be made. and when the trial comes who
will be the protected? Will it be the
grasping money kings or the poor
laborer who lives from hand to mouth,
or the middle-men, or perhaps our
editorsp
The farmer is both laborer and capi-
talist, and so also is the industrious
saving, temperate laborer, who lays up
little each year OF his hard earned
wages and amasses little fortune of
his own. These two stand between
labor and capital, and will, we believe,
with their honest votes see the right
prevail. Labor ought not to be de-
graded, for it is the stuff capital is
made Of. Capital should not be
destroyed because it produces labor.
The American people have always
boasted that their grand system OF edu-
cation would save the country in time
of trouble, and so we believe it will.
But il our farmers are so ignorant as to
be led away by a lot of "canting dcma-
gogues" we see but little hope for this
great nation. True, Dorley made a
great speech before the Minnesota
Farmers Alliance land he is great
speaker), and the good farmers listened
to it attentively and took 1t home with
them for consideration. The truth is,
the party press is becoming alarmed
over this organizing of farmers. and
this Is what calls out such articles as

a REPRESENTATIVE Of the Pierre
journal is out on the Sioux reservation
interviewing the chiefs Of the nation
relative to the surrender Of a portion of
their reservation in accordance with
the terms ct the Dawes bill. At 4
council with five chiefs they expressed
Il willingness to sell portion of their
reservation to the government. The
people at Pierre are confident that the

the consent of theIndians TO the open

is Of Importance ard Ddkotaidp.

TIE resolutions passed at the Huron
State and division meeting are en-
phatic enough TO indicate the uncom-
promising purpose Of these Dakotians
to enjoy the dignity Of statehood. II
Congress does not act, and it will be
shameful if il does not. the people of
South Dakota will simply assume State
functions: but the resolutions are not
biCotcd as to division, for they express
willingness TO go in under the Harrison
bill. which provides for the bringing in
Of the Territory as State.-pi0neer
Press.
1t would appear from the last clause
OF the foregoing that the Pioneer Press
has got things little mixed. The
people of South Dakota are ''bigoted as
to division The Harrison bill pro-
vides for the division of Dakota and
the admission Of the south half as 4
State, and that is what south Dakota
prefers. as expressed in the resolutions.
BIT if they cannot get this they are
willing to support the Hill bill, which
provides for division alone. In no case
will they be willing to take admission
as q whole.
The DeSmet leader. (DeSmet, Kingsbury Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1886-05-22

The House Committee on Territories
has this week taken sucn action with
respect to the several Dakota bills in
its hands rs 10 make it certain that no
bill can be passed at this session, and
probable that none will be favorably
reported. The Republican minority of
the Committee, reinforced 10y one
Democratic member, are in favor OF the
Harrison bill, which passed the Senate
and which provides for the division Of
the Territory on the Forty-siXth paral-
lei. and the admission as State Of the
southern half. But the Democratic
majority has evidently determined to
oppose admission in any form. A more
tyrannical exercise Of power than this
treatment of Dakota by the Democratic
Congress has never been known in the
history Of the country.
The South Dakota convention, in
session this week at Sioux Falls, has
provided for its own reaSsemblage in
July, in case Congress shall adjourn
without admitting the Territory. The
july meeting will consider whether or
not the State government shall be put
into operation under the constitution
adopted last fall. without waiting for
congressional action, and will arrange
for submitting this question to the
popular vote.
The people of Dakota have as good a
right 10 live under a constitution of
their own framing as those of Mime
sofa. They will be perfectly justified
if they conclude to begin State life
without sanction from Washington,
and they will have the sympathy Of
the people of the country OH their side.
Whether or not it would be wise to
proceed in this way is another question,
and one which the people Immediately
