Let this howl about suffering in
South Dakota stop, and stop quick.
There are only two counties in the
state that need material aid, and
surely there is enough to spare at
home to supply this mote OF a case.
Let the north hall Of the state take
care Of Faux county and the south
half will zee to Miner county. Alb
erdeen, Rcdfield, Watcrtown and
Huron, with the many other pros
porous towns in the north, can GER
tainly take care Of the actual needs
Of a county like Faux. Mitchell,
Sioux Falls, Canton, Elk Point, Ver-
million, Yankion, Scotland, Parker,
and many other towns, can take care
Of Miner county. Let a committee
be appointed in each place by the
mayor or other authority to receive
subscriptions in connection with
popular donations from farmers
through The county commissioners,
and in two weeks there will be
enough money, corn, wheat or flour,
etc, on hand 10 carry the needy in
Miner county through to the pros
perity promised through faith and
hope. AL it requires to make this
movement a grand success is immed-
late organization. The New Era
asks the newspapers Of this section
OF the state 10 take hold OF the mat
ter and success is ut once assured.
Wake up brethren Of the press.
There il no need Of this howl about
suffering in South Dakota, when the
whole matter can be so easily taken
care Of ut home. These begging
committees that 60 abroad never re-
turn empty handed, it is true, but
do they bring back enough to pay
for the injury done the state? I'm
ion, Clay, Yankton, Bon Homme,
Turner and Lincoln counties have
raised this year nearly 100000
bushels Of corn, besides nm abundant
wheat crop. Then think Of q few
hundred families in Miner county
suffering because they failed to raise
any crops at all through lack Of rain.
The well known generosity Of the
people Of Dakota is never appealed
10 in vain. They are western peo-
pie and know the unavoidable mis-
fortunes that overtake new settle
ments that must be met. Let this
movement take some practical shape
at once, as the cold and snow OF win
ter will soon be upoi, US. IA!. such

Of this matter with their web known
energy and with their big hearts
throbbing with human kindness,
speedy and successful work may be
expected. Turner county will do
her full share. The Northwestern
railroad will carry freight free, mud
the Milwaukee will certainly do the
same upon application. What coun.
