WASHINGTON, May q, 1885,
Postmaster General Wanamaker, or
as the irreverent persist in calling
him "Cheap john" is deserving of a
leather medal as the Champion hair
splitter of the age. Saturday after
noon he rendered the use of his newly
purchased steam yacht, Restless" to
Harrison and party of friends, all
men this time, to 60 on Sunday
excursion down to Chesapeake Bay,
but asked to be excused from accom-
panying the party on the ground
that he could not be away from his
Philadelphia Sunday School on Sum
day. He probably thought to ease
his conscience for lending his yacht
to the Sunday excursionists by stay.

day School class, but what would the

as they took their instructions from
Mr.. Wanamaker yesterday, could
they have seen at that very time the
gay party aboard of the Restless"
which was being needlessly run on
Sunday under the orders of and at
the expense of their teacher. What
picture of man as he processes to be
and man as he actually is, would
that have put before those Philadel-
phia young people.
This is quite family sort of an ad-

MANY of our State exchanges con-
tinue to make their columns as red

are other things to which the county

Rev. G. Fl. Smith has an interesting
and chatty letter In last weeks Tyndall
Tribune. Referring to the capital cam

Is anything said about the capital in
Bon Homme county? Badges are mum
erous and talk! cheap here now. Last
winter Pierre was the faverite-a north
and south railroad might touch every
mans farm then you know" In the
spring our own Chamberlain won favor,
and now Mitchell is IN the lead. Aud
why should it not be? If the Dakota
onrl neighber states 1t may do to put it
over between Sioux City and st. Paul.
If the capital should be instrumental in
bringing railroads and immigrants into
Dakota. it may be well t. locate 1t more
than a mile of Minnesota. Mitchell is
probably as well located, all things con
sidered, as any town IN South Dakota.
And then for the southern tiers OF
counties it Is the only well located city.
What We need is good connection with
the Black Hills, for the western market
will be for years a valuable one for our
raised products. The c. NJ & St. p. Ry.
is Il only servant for this service.
Place the capital of the new state on
the through line of this road, and q good
railway service is assured and all OF
South Dakota viii be benefited.
