We we're pleased to note that our
neighbors over the way, last week,
gave the readers almost an exact re-
print Of the Republicans article on
township caucuses. Bro. Blank eyi-
IDENTIFY knows a good thing when he
sees it.-Trde Republican
Yes, Bro. Nc. while the ideas may
have been similar, there is this differ
ence, we meant what we said while
your article reminded us of the style
of man who cried 'stop thief" in or
der TO divert public attention from
himself. OF course your advice will
have to pass as a campaign lie, or your
brother politicians will drop you for
advocating theories So adverse to
their practice.
Messrs d.. NJ. Wheeler, Chief Engi-
neer, and II. III. Robbins, locating en-
gineer Of the ID. w. s. r. R;y., were at
Washington Springs Wednesday night:
They came over The preliminary line
from Huron. They were very %reticent
about the purposes Of the company,
but stated that the line was located as
far as Huron; that cross7sectioning
was being done between Huron and
Watertown, preparing that portion of
the read for the graders; that the road
would probably be built as far as HUI
ron the present summer. The gentle
men visited the stone quarry and the
Springs and we acknowledge a call at
the tip top house on Mt Observation,
where they expressed. themselves de-
lighted with the magnificent view of
the surrounding scenery.
The league men were too late with
their successful attempt in coercing
the HERALD into upholding the cause.
For three weeks the HERALD made
clear and unanswerable arguments
against the league. Last week it pitch
ed into opposition, this week it will
probably have no position at all.-True
Republican.
The HERALD maintains its. position
as firmly as ever and it might be illus
trated by the old rhyme: "Jack Sprat
would eat no fat, his wife would eat
no lean, SO betwixt them both they left
the platter clean" The HERALD can
not see the use Of either league OF nom
league and it believes that Dakota's
interests would be furthered by the
adjustment OF both. Perhaps we
should say the league,as the non-league
is only a local organization, Indigenous
to Jerauld county and will not cause
a ripple IN the onward march to state
hood. II is simply a local matter and
a few of u county politicians are
trying to make it of use to further
their selfish schemes,
