Judge Levisee, and which was added to
the platform.
Reso1oed, That in declaring tho for
fture Of the indemnify lands Of the
Northern Pacific railroads, the admins.
tration has committed gross injustice
upon honest settlers and innocent pur-
chasers OF those lands. Instead OF COM
pelling she 3 railroad corporation to
indemnify the government, 1t has dis.
poiled hundreds and thousands OF men
who have bought and paid for these
lands, leaving them no opportunity to
obtain redress. Taking the land from
honest purchasers and farmers, its
democratic reformers call restoring the
public domain to the people,"--a most
saroastic piece 5of mocker5. This con.
vention asks the republicans in congress-
to see to 1t that the right OF settlers upon
and innocent purchasers Of these lands
be protected.

Yankton's best hope for future pros
perity is based upon it's water power. 1t
has been demonstrated that this power
can be applied to machinery with the
most effective results. 1t has been
demonstrated that the source of this
power Is generous one and that it is
probably inexhaustible. Il is 8 power
not much in vogue. because it is obtain
able In only occasional favored iooaii-
ties. We need, therefore, to convince
the manufacturing public that it is o
power and that it is as certain and as
effective as the surface rivers that turn
the wheels OF industry in other favored
localities. OF this we have nc doubt
ourselves, having followed the various
experiments from their inception to their
practical application. But capital will
not share our enthrsiasm until we fur
nish visible evidence that it is based
upon an absolute certainty. Then capi-
tai will become courageous and will
seeks the opportunities it now looks
upon with suspicious fear. The prop
osition that stream OF water flowing
from an artificial hole in the dry SUR
face of the earth can
be harnessed to mechanical
appliances and made to do the
work OF surface river seems utopian
to the practical minds which preside
over large manufacturing establish
ments. When we once convince the
public that our water power is living
force, always available, never changing
defying time and food and dronth and
all the destructive agencies of nature
that the stream once set in motion goes
on forever without expense to ita
lowner-then the benefits will begin to
come. 70 this task we should apply
ourselves.

amount of freight and passenger tariff
to and from that region.
President Fish is perfectly oognizant
OF this and he may wish to have the
Cherokee and Dakota pushed in that
direction as rapidly as possible.
The Central has made low rates
on Dakota business, and is evidently
making strong effect to secure the
trade Of that region. A line which stops
at Sioux Falls will not be very profitable,
and tho further extensions will probably
be made in the direction which can fur
nish the most business.
