HIS LEGISLATIVE RECORD
Will Be the Main Feature of the
Fight Against Mathews.


Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, Sept. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic territorial committee are circu-
lating campaign literature already
through the territory, although what
has been done is merely an earnest of
what is to come. The fight will be
made against Mathews record in the
legislature, where he voted every time
against the bills which the farmers IA
vOred and for the bills to which they
were bitterly opposed. The committee
are showing and will show more fully
in the future that Mathews has been
right along the tool of the railroads, the
ally of the corporation and the accom-
plice of every kind of organized capital
He has voted with banks, insurance
companies, railroads and elevator COM
panies every time, and it is shown that
he has voted never once" for the i'll
tereStS
WHICH HARDEN REPRESENTS.
They are thoroughly organizing the
campaign. 1t is the plan of the COM
mittee to see that every township in
every county in the territory is organ
lied and at work. If this plan is carried
out it will produce marvellous change
in the political complexion of this terri
tory, as the woods are full of Democrats
if they can only be coaXed out.
Secretary Oscar p. Kemp spends all
of his time in Sioux Falls working up
the campaign. He talks hopefully and
asserts that there will be some big sur
prises before the election returns are
all in. Mr.. Kemp is hard worker, an
enthusiastic Democrat, good organ
izer, and if he has anything like a
proper support from the Democrats of
the territory, he will bring victory
within reach. He is a Dakota rustler
of the best type, and all he wants is a
to rustic. He is the man for the place
and is doing great work for the party.

THE CUSTER CONTROVERSY.
Col. Lounsberry Defines His YER
sion as He Understands 1t.

To the Editor of the Globe.
FARGO, Sept. SIN the GLOBE of to-
day notice what purports to be a criti-
cism of,an article of mine and defense
of Custer from attacks made by me. l
do not object to any issue raised as to
my statements or to any epithet applied
to me, but for the benefit of your
readers do want to say that there
isn't line in my article that
was written In an unfriendly spirit
toward Custer; not line or word that
reflects upon his integrity or his bravery.
He was not styled 'reStleSs money
maker" though as man he was said to
be restless and uneasy, and as Mrs.
Custer says in "Boats and Saddles" he
took up the work of a correspondent not
only as relief to an active mind, but
because it afforded welcome
SUPPLEMENT TO HIS SALARY.
l can not imagine the purpose of your
correspondent, for several of the points
he disputes he himself affirms before he
closes.
Clusters information in relation to the
outrages on the frontier came to him
from Indians, private citizens, news
paper correspondents, soldiers and sub
ordinate officers. His soul was in re-
bellion against these outrages, but
while his information was sufficient to
base report to a superior officer upon,
his knowledge was not of that kind
which made him
COMPETENT WITNESS.
This was one of the points brought
out for which am abused by your cor
respondent. 1t was Clusters telegram
from Fargo when on his way to Bis
marck, rendering testimony against
Belknap; his utter failure to present
any testimony from his own knowledge;
and his supposed connection with Ralph
Meeker's letters in the New York Her
aid, that led to the quarrel which de-
prived Custer of his command and
finally resulted in the massacre.
Custer was in command of one of the
so-called wings of Terry's column, and
was not in command, directly, of his
regiment until ordered on the recon-
nOisSance which ended in the fatal bat
tie. 1t was indeed true that it was only
through the mtercession of Sheridan
that Custer was saved from arrest and
permitted to go with the expedition.
Ny only purpose in this is to say that
your correspondent unjustly assumes
that Custer was attacked by me. He
was not. G. A. LOUNsBERRY.

mendable at Yankton.
Special to the Globe.
YANKToN, Dak., Sept. 1.-THE fol-
lowing specials sent from Yankton to
the Sioux City Journal, is the most re-
markable statement which has ema-
mated from this city for long time, land
bears the brand of falsehood in every
line. sat large and enthusiastic
meeting of citizens tonight it was voted
to donate 100000 and the right-of-way
to secure the building of the road from
Sioux Falls to YanktOn. Wild rumorS
are af1oat here to-day to the effect that
the grading of the road between Yank-
ton and Sioux Falls is to commence i'm
mediately, and parties are said to be
here with definite propositions to COM
plete and operate the road by the 1st
of August, 1889. The excitement runs
high and real estate is advancing. The
real estate men are at fever heat and
will hardly sleep any tonight.
There is not word of truth in the
statements, and its author must have
known it. He seems to have ''soured"
on all mankind, and evinceS dispOsi-
ton to sever the slight ties of friend
ship which may still exist between him

crowded with business men tonight, at

Central Dakota is coming to the front in

ton of the territory.
1t has been the fashion in South
Dakota, which was settled long before
this section, to ignore us politically and

lieve theory exists down there that

but when Brown and Edmunds, and
Walworth and Mcpherson and Camp
bell counties loom up with their crop
reports for this year the most stalwart
diVisioniSt will be forced to acknoWl-
edge that good things do come out of
this Nazareth of Central Dakota.
But there is another side to this pros
porous season of a darker hue. Over
40 per cent of what accrues from the
farmers hard labor must go to pay
UNNECESSARY TAXES
and be added to the enormous fortunes
of the trust barons. In many cases
farmers are forced to purchase lumber
to make their houses comfortable for
their families this winter, and from
their comparatively few dollars they
are taxed to enlarge the already bloated
bank accounts of Messrs. Alger, Saw
trust fame. Not to fail of their share
of the farmers crops, the coal barons
have already met and put up the price
of that commodity 80 cents per ton,
while at the same time they reduced
the wages of their miners at Scranton,
Pa, 10 cents per ton. This action of
the robber baronS will afford an excel
lent text for the high priest of the Re-
publican party to preach from, showing
what 4 sin it would be to destroy these
righteous trusts, that by neat double
action can be made to
PROTECT THE FARMERS
of the Northwest from becoming bond
holders, and reduce the meager wages
of the miner with winter wants staring
him in the face. Great is Blaine
Greater still the trust DaronS, and great
est fools the American people, who
pander to these eXtortions. One must
live on these prairies, and be daily
witness of the energy and self-sacrifice
necessary to subdue them, to appreciate
the intense desire of those who live here
to reduce taxation and allow the people
of the Northwest the legitimate reward
of toll Not only our territory and the
Twin Cites, but our whole country is
interested in seeing that these men who
have come to the frontier, driven back
the Indians and subdued these prairies,
| to pour back their golden food of grain
| into Columbia's lap, are protected from
these robber trusts that are fastened
like leeches upon the pockets of the
mass of American people.

RAPID CITY, Sept. 14.-There has

there has been some worrying about the
reservation matter. But the golden
autumn opens on people who are ex-
tremely we'll satisfied with their lot in
life, and who find in the Black Hills the
full realization of dreams of prosperity
that led them to fOrsake peaceful homes
in the East and turn to this undevelOped
region. Not alone in agriculture and
stock has this. country prospered
this year. In the mines the lull of
years has been broken, and en-
terprises that had been temporarily
abandoned have been revived, and new
ones are being worked out, and at no
time in the history of the region has
the confidence in its immense wealth
been more implicit, for never was
honest effort more intelligently directed
than at this writing. Rapid City has
prospered and Deadwood has prospered,
and almost every town. village and
camp in the Hills has prospered. There
is no reason to think other than that
this prosperity is permanent, for it is
the result of actual development.

During the summer everybody stayed

and the delightful weather combined
have produced an exodus of citizens
unequaled in the history of the city. A

nearly that many went on the Friday

HURON, OAK, Sept. 14.-Beginning
the 1st of January, 1889, the office of
register of deeds will be a salaried
Office in the strictest sense of the term.
At present the fees of the Office belong
to the incumbent. He is allowed %
cents each for canceling as well as
recording chattel mortgages, which in
nearly all of the counties is collected,
and in the aggregate is quite a sum.
Instances are numerous, however, where
the register only collects the recording
fee, making no charge for cancellation.
When the new law goes into effect he
will be obliged to render an account OF
all such feeS-there will be
NO FAVOR SHOWN
unless the official put up" for it out of
his own pocket. 1t is well enough to
it would have been much more salts
factory had the new bill provided for
the reduction of the fees, as well, par
ticularly in the case of chatteL mort
cages. 1t is the borrower
WHO is MADE TO SUFFER,
and, generally speaking, his taxes are
always as much as he is able to pay,
frequently more. This, though SEEM
ingly a trifiing matter, IS receiving the
attention of taxpayers of the poorer
class, and the next general assembly
will be asked to repeal the old law, or,
at least, that portion of it compelling
the collection of the cancellation fee.
In speaking with w. f. L. Bushnell,
secretary of the board of agriculture,
district No. l, he remarked that the
granting of the one cent mile rate by
the various railroads for the fair to be
held in Mitchell, means that not less
than 10000 people will be in attend
ance. 1t is the greatest concession rail
roads have ever made in Dakota, and
the people will certainly take advan-
tage of it. Arrangements have already
been made to run seven excursion
trains to Mitchell daily, arriving in the
morning and leaving in the evening.
A very prominent feature of the fair
will be an address, by Hon. A. E. Stew
ensOn, of Illinois. Mr.. Stevenson is
first assistant postmaster general, and
has many friends in Dakota. His aG-
dress will be delivered Wednesday,

RAPID CITY, OAK, Sept. 14.-The
glorious autumn is once more here. The
purple haze of Indian summer already
wraps the somber peaks of the mount
aims, and although no touch of frost
has yet chilled the earth i'll this most
favored region there is in nature all the
beauty that enthusiasts may find in early
fall in mountain region. On the hill
sides the grass is turning brown beneath
the sun and wind, curing nicely and
promising ample food to stock during
the days of winter. Golden rod and
scarlet berries mingle with the drying
grass, and the green tops of the dark
pines add
COLOR TO A PICTURE
that is completed with the various hues
in which the rocks that rib the hills
show forth. 'The summer is over and
the harvest is past" and the Black
Hills granger is busy marketing the
biggest crops ever harvested here, and
receiving prices for his grain and prod
uce that would make an Eastern farm
er sick with envy. Wheat yealded
twenty-five to thirty bushels to the
acre this year, oats from sixty to one
hundred, and one mans crop turned
him in 105 bushels. Corn promises fifty
to fifty-fve bushels, and everything
else yields accordingly. The like was
never known before. Wheat brings
seventy-five cents bushel at the mill
here, and oats sell readily for forty
cents. Compare these figures with cur
rent Chicago prices, and see
HOW FARMING PAYS
in the Black Hills. 1t is needless to
speak of the harvest the stockmen are
reaping. When q Black Hills dealer
says he will pay $40 head for range
cattle, one may easily infer there is
some money in stock raising. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 head will be
shipped from the Black Hills ranges
this fall, and these will bring here at
least 81, 100000.

THEY ARE MORE CONFIDENT
That the Commission Will Make
Success of Their Indian Task.

Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITX, Sept. 1.-THE feeling
in regard to the reservation is some
what better here, although from the
outset it was believed here that the
commission would succeed at Crow
Creek and Lower Brule, and win at
Pine Ridge. At those agencies the Indi-
ans have for years been in close contact
with the whites, and have absorbed some
of the softening influences of the pale
REHABILITATION. An Eastern person who
is interested in the matter may gain a
very good idea of the moral status of
the question by contrasting the pub
lished speeches of the chiefs at Crow
Creek and those at Standing Rock, and
consider that the Indians at one agency
are near to white people constantly, and
at the other they live among themselves.
People who understand the matter are
constantly surprised at the amount of
sentiment wasted over Sitting Bull,
GauI, John Grass and their associated
butchers.
