THE RAINS PLEASE

the Thirsty Earth and Insuring

Good Crops.
Special TO the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, May Although
Minnehaha county went "dry" at the
election last fall, it has been going
''wet'' pretty steadily for the past two
weeks. On Thursday, the Goth of
April, a heavy rain began falling. The
rain continued continuously until the
next Sunday, when it was changedsinto
a snow, which fell until seven inches
had accumulated. This was melted
Monday by another heavy rain. All
last week the sun did not show itself,
and it was raining most of the time.
The rain continued up to Wednesday of
this week, when there was a grand
clearing off spell. The streets of the
city, not yet, but soon to be,
paved, are almost impossible, and
it is not an uncommon thing to
see heavily loaded teams stalled in the
middle of the street. But the rain,
which has been unpleasant for city peo-
pie, has been a godsend to their coun-
try cousins. The soil for the last two
years has been very dry. The drouth
IN this section last year was nothing
like as serious as in Illinois, Iowa and
parts of Minnesota, but it was enough
to exhaust every drop of moisture from
the ground. No rain fell last fall be-
fore the freeze up, and the snow melted
in the spring before the thaw of the
ground, so that the middle of April
found the ground as hard as paris plas-
ter and as dry as sawdust. Great rains
were needed, and the unprecedented
drenching of the last two weeks has
been worth thousands to this country
and vicinity. The seeding is all done,
and the farmers in few days will be
planting corn by the hundreds of acres.
The promise of a grand crop is accepted
on all hands, and only phenomenal
dry spell can prevent the farmers of
South Dakota from realizing the most
bounteous returns from their labor.

MISSED HIS OPPORTUNITY.

As a party man Mr.. DAY took the
wrong course and missed great oppor-
tunity at WATERFOWL. He had made
sharp and dashing fight before the
people, and secured an enthusiastic
body of supporters among the delegates
whose seats were uncOnteSted, with
many others involved in contest. He
was, however, clearly III the minority,
and might have been Shorn of some
rightful strength by virtue of an adj
verse majority in the general committee.
But his prestige and the strength of his
position were in the claim that he was
an ancient, rock-ribbed Democrat, loyal
to the traditions and answering in the
faith. His opportunity was in the united
gathering of his party. He should have
been found there asserting his rights
and those of his followers. If he had
been WrOnged he would have found all
true Democrats with sympathetic ears
and willing to give him ample audience.
There was general kindly feeling and
generous disposition to give full recog-
milton to his long and alduouS service
for tile party. There is no ground for
Of course the convention would not
have agreed with him in disparagement
Of the territorial administration. but Mr.
DAY could have put himself upon rec
ord and have entered his emphatic pro-
test at any action that he did not APP
prove. But after he had done this, as a
loyal Democrat, he should have
announced his submission to the
will of the majority. Had he
done this, the convention would
have been in the mood to almost
take him upon its shoulders, and he
would have wrested substantial victory
from seeming defeat. If the governor
had done wrong. Mr.. DAYS skirts were
clear, and the Indictment could be
pressed in the proper quarters with
vastly greater force and effect. The
party would be united and enthusiastic,
and prepared for efficient service i'll the
coming conflicts. The opportunity was
one that would have been eagerly seized
by a statesman-one with a mind too
large to be choked and clouded with
the fogS of mere personal prejudice and
petty cOnceit.

Sphinx county will have eighteen votes

THE RESERVATION.

While the bill has passed all the stages
at Washington, and has become law, it
will be several months before any settlers
will be allowed to go upon the lands of
the reservation. The written assent of
the male Indians is to be obtained before
the law can become operative. A COM
mission, to be appointed by the presi-
dent is to do this work, and it is be-
Heved that, if it works as rapidly as pos
sible, fully three months will be requis-
ite to go over the ground and secure the
names. There is possibility that these
Ignorant aborigines may prove to be OBJ
stinate and prejudiced, and refuse their
assent, but this is not probable or an
ticipated. The generous provisions for
them in the bill will surely secure their
approval. But when this work is
accomplished the lands will not be
III market for some time, as they
have never been surveyed. Still, squat
tiers will be allowed to go Oh them and
make homesteadS. There will be less
difficulty than usual in such cases. as
only those will become squatters who
want to make homes on the land, and they
can take only one quarter-Section. These
lands will not be likely to settle up with
rush, as they will not invite the spec
ulator and adventurer. But those who
take them will improve them for homes
and permanent residence, not merely to
escape the provisions of the land laws.
1t will settle up as a country of small
contiguous farms, with no unimproved
claims. People will go there in small
companies and colonies, and build I'D
the communities with all the advantages
they have enjoyed in the states. 1t is
an inviting land, and will afford farms
and homes for $4,000 families. 1t would
have been better if all the land in Da-
kota had been subject to the same re-
StrictionS.

OPENING THE RESERVATION.
Bishop Hare Believes the Sigma
lures of the Indians Will Be
Readily Obtained.


Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, OAK, May 1.-THE people
who are more directly interested in the
opening of the big Sioux reservation,
and have watched the developments of
the matter ever since the bill was first
introduced in congress, have now good
cause to rest assured in the final sue
cess of the measure as regards obtain
ing the consent of the Indians.
One thing that has lent hope is the
very recent visit of Bishop Hare, the
noted Indian philanthropist. While in
Pierre, and during conversation on
the subject, he expressed himself as very
confident that no trouble will be had
in obtaining the signatures of the In
dians of the Sioux reservation to the
measure, giving over to the whites
greater part of their land now contained
in the Sioux reservation. The bishop
said he was heartily in
FAVOR OF THE BILL,
believing that it will be a long step to-
wards the civilization and intellectual
and moral advancement of the Indians,
and that he would lend his best efforts
to see it made success. This should
correct the erroneous impression that
has gone abroad that Bishop Hare was

In one of the serenade speeches
elected from Mr.. DAY since the Water
town convention that gentlemaa de-
clares that ''the fight will be carried on
and on after the st. Louis convention
until every carpet-bagger in the terri
tory shall be driven from our midst" 1t
would be well if Mr.. DAY would explain
more precisely what he means by the
carpet-bag gentry. Is the term re-
strlcted to officeholders, and, once
carpet-bagger, does the individual al
ways remain such? In another part of
the same speech reference is had to a
"carpet-bag administration" Does this
mean Gov. CHURCH alone, or are Messrs.
LAWYER, WARD, MCCORMACK, lem
PLEToN, MCCLURE, ct al. part of the
administration and carpet-baggers? Is
it needful to drive carpet-baggers out of
the territory? Most of them buy prop
erty and want to make residence in the
territory. BY what legal method does
Mr.. DAY expect to drive anybody out of
the territory? If crimes have been
committed, why not enforce the laws
and punish them in the territory?

DAKOTA NIPS.

The Jamestown convention will, no

way to put to the front all the ambitious
statesmen who have the means to make
the trip to Chicago. 1t is good chance
to advertise the territory, and there is
no reason that all who want to should
not go and foot the Dakota trumpet.
They will hardly be allowed more than
the two votes, however.

Some ungenerously find fault with
Delegate CLIFFORD for sleeping while
Senator PLATT was pleading the cause
of Dakota-or rather the right of South
Dakota to admission. 1t is intimated
that it is no unusual thing for the gentle
man to sleep at his post. There can be
little objection to this, as he is quite as
likely to promote the interests of the
people of Dakota in an unconscious
condition as in any other. If he has
ever advanced Dakota legislation in his
most wakeful moods, he has been un-
fortunate in not securing credit for his
work.
