The Sully County watchman. (Clifton, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1894, 1888-05-05

AT the Republican central committee
meeting last Saturday the question was
raised OF calling delegate convention
without regard To political name, for the
nomination of - superintendent of schools.
But the minority who advocated such n
plan had no show. Republicanism is re.
quired as the principal qualification of
superintendent by a majority of the co N
mittee. .-Okobojo Times.
All members of the Committee
present, who advocated anything, were
favorable to calling a Republican con-
vention. j. +. Martin, not member
of the Committee, but who held two
proxies, was the only person present
advocating a peoples convention, and
had his plan been adopted and can
dldate nominated Hereunder there was
no assurance that even he would
support the nominee at the polls. His
past political record has proven that
to the satisfaction of the voters of Sully
county. The Chairman of the Demo
cratic county committee was requested
to be present and make known the
wants of his party at this meeting.
Will the Times answer why he was
conspicuous for his absence, if his
party desired a joint convention? The
policy of some of the Democrats in
using Mr. Martin as a tool TO create
dissension IN the Republican party of
the county is transparent. We are
satisfied that the Republicans will en-
deaver To nominate candidate whose
qualifications are unquestioned, even
though he be Republican.

ELSEWHERE will be found the
announcement of Robert J. Courtney,
ofOkobojo township, as candidate for
the Office of Superintendent of Schools
of Sully county. Mr.. Courtney is a
gentleman of ability, well qualified for
the position he now aspires to fill, is
by profession an educator and should
he be the choice of the convention on
June End and be elected, Sully's edu-
catlonal interests would be well guard
ed at his hands. He came to this
county In the early spring of 1883, and
since that time has been engaged in
farming operations on his farm, with
the exception of one season, and edu-
cational work. He asks that his
claims be fairly considered by the
voters in their caucuses, at the conven-
ton and at the polls.

THE RESERVATION OPENED.
Grover Signs the Bill.

The President after waiting until the
evening of the last day signed the bill
throwing open to settlement III 900, 900
acres Immediately west and south west
of Sully county, extending to the Hills
country. The delay caused many to
fear that the bill would be vetoed
instead of signed, but happily such
was not the case The bill was signed
late Monday night.
Nothing could have been done by
Congress that would have benefited
this portion of Dakota as much as this
particular bill. 1t is preferable to divl-
sion or admission, yet we would like
division if not admission. 1t will
stimulate our present industries and
cause new ones to be established,
create sale for our lands and con-
seqnently better prices; those who
come in and purchase our splendid
lands in Sully and Hughes counties
will come with means and prepared to
stay and improve it. Our country
here will develope as did Beadle and
Hand counties in 1882 and 1883, when
Hyde, Sully and Potter counties were
thrown open to settlement. People
will cross the river and there find no
settlement, society, school houses or
churches, then return to us and pur-
chase cheap lands here where we have
all of those and more two to offer.
BY the passage of the Sioux bill we
will have home market for our pro-
duce; and in this connection we will
say that farmers should consider this
question and plant corn and potatoes,
instead of devotlng their time to small
grain. Cultivate such crops as can be
disposed of to the lncomers next fall
and spring and not require cartlng out
of the country at high freight rate.
Pierre will now grow and ere long be
to Dakota what Sioux City is to Iowa.
Her location is superior to any on the
Missouri There is no doubt but she
will be the capital of South Dakota,
when the south half of the territory is
admitted. Her people held u jollifica-
tion meeting Tuesday on hearing the
news and We don't know of any who
had better right to jnbilate, after
doing the work and spending the time
and money they did to secure the
passage of this important measure.
Sully extends congratulations.

ton, free from injurious frosts tOgs and high
winds; has matchless climate, marvellous fer
tility of soil and stands unrivaled as an early
producer of fruits and vegetabies-the first in
the market and has an endless demand for its
early products, which command the highest
prices in all parts of this State and the United
States. The location is certainly two weeks
ahead of any rival district in this State for its
early productions, and the great profit is in the
Frut is shipped from this point to all parts OF
the United States and the reputation OF Vaea-
vile fruit is world-renowned.
1t Will in u short period of time rival the
southern part of the State in the culture OF the

fruits and early vegetables. Possesses a winter
less climate. Enchanting localities for homes
and opportunities for gaining wealth and
health. very few acres in this location will
not only maintain but soon enrich an industri-

If there is any section of this State that is
worthy the attention of the Eastern or local
buyer for permanent location, and where they
can reYel in the finest climate in the world as
small piece of land by giving but little time to
the same, this district commands their atten-
ton. Without any exception, this choice valley
is the garden spot of the continent. In this
center. health, atmosphere, climate, money
making and society are all combined. From
five acres of peaches in this locality. in one
year, the sum of 5000 was realized. Where can
that be equaled?

THE OLDEST SPOKEN LANeUAGE.-lt
has been estimated by Professor Kirch-
hoff, of Halle, that the language most
spoken on the globe, for the last thousand
years at least, is Chinese, for it is without
doubt the only one which is talked BY over
four hundred millions of the human race.
The next language most in use, but at a
very great distance behind Chinese, is
Hindustani, spoken by over one hundred
millions. Then follow English spoken
by about one hundred millions), Russian
(over seventy millions), German over fifty
