Rapid City Republican: Hon. Frank
j. Washabaugh passed through last
evening on his way to Bismarck. The
Republican reporter failed to see him
and hence he was not interviewed abont
the land office removal, the reduction
works ct DsAdwood. the speaketehip OF
the council OF the Dakota legislature, the
reservation, or the legislature. Mr..
Washabaugh represents IN the te~rritor-
ial legislature probably more actual
wealth than any other member. He is O
modest, un%assuring, just and fair man
OF d~eserpedly high character. He is
somewhat conservative, disposed to look
at both sides OF any mooted question
and in fact noted for his calm
ness and fairness. These qualities
mark him q growing man, for he has
gained the confidence Of the people more
and more es he has been trusted. Gal.
umny has never dared to wisper o word
against his honor. This is much to say
in this day and age. The bright and
busy city Of Deadwood does herself. the
Black Hills and Dakota an honor when
she sends to Bismerck as her representa-.
tive, such q man as Frank =. Wesha-
bauRh. II. the council OF the Dakota
Legislature should choose him as presI-
dent, the honor will be theirs rather than
his, for in all the high qualities essen
tiai to that poeition he il, among men
Who know him, pre.eminent.

particular cases on which decisions were
made are the suits of the railway COM.
pany against the t%reasurera OF Foster
and Kidder counties, in Dakota, for q
perpetual injunction against the sale of
railroad lands for the taxes of 1887. The
cases also decide shout thirty other
suits OF the same character brought
by the Northern Pacific company
restraining the sale OF their lands
in both the indemnity belt aud the orig
inal land grant. The cases along The
line of the road in Dakota are many and
the amount in value is upwards OF $780,.
900. The decision is against the railroad
company and in favor OF the counties.
However, it gives the plaintiff ten days
70 amend the complaints, but ii is prob
able the case will go to the supreme
court on the pleadings az they stand.
The counties claim the right to tax the
lands in addition to the pro rata they
receive under the gross earni gs law OF

Don't.

The late declaration Of certain news
papers in and out of the Black Hill Is,
that Sioux Falls would receive a large
| per cent of the Hills vote for temporary
capital, taking into consideration the
fact of a number of them having previ
ously expressed a different view, bord-
ers as closely upon the ridiculous as any
newspaper assertion can, and very
! forcibly suggests the extreme weakness
Of frail humanity when confronted with
a substantial consideration. That Sioux
Falls should receive a solitary vote in
the Black Hills, admitting all the claims
made for her superior hotel aud other
accommodation S, could but be regarded
by any one who has given the matter a
moments serious thought, as being most
surprising,
Can it, with any degree of reason, be
expected, that any resident of the
Black Hills could cast his vote, unless
through a misrepresentation of the situa-
liOH, lpF Tue lOSdtlOh VI tit tShPO
rary capital OF the new state at a point
so remote from our borders as to de.
prive us Of any and every possible
benefit which might otherwise accrue
to us from capital location, and put at
once a check upon the growth and
development of a region rich in all
material resources, the advancement of
| which We have so long and devotedly
been striving to encourage. Such a
| declaration in the face of apparent facts
which stand cut as prominent as does
the nose upon O II faces can only serve
TO injure the cause you are employed L
champion. Tell us that Sioux Falls has
larger and finer hotels than any other
city in South Dakota, $50 has Sioux City
or 0maha.) Tell us that she is located
in the exact center of the population Of
the state. Where will she be when, in
the sweet bye and bye, when the Black
Hills may boast Of q city of many times
her population, and divers other cite.
Of distinguished prominence, and al

total population of a dozen COW counties
would not be missed9 Tell us of heI

capital located there; don't, as it ap

The Buffalo Gap Globe pays a high
tribute to fellow townsman S. NJ. Booth
in the following mention: Custer
county bad no Office equal to the merits
offs. NJ. Booth; but all the same the
democrats Of the county had reserved a
place on their county ticket till the
news came from Huron that the demo-
cratic state convention had nominated
him for representative in the United
States congress. Mr.. Booths ability for
the Office will be freely confessed by
everybody who knows him, and those
who do not know him will have 20 meet
him but once TO be fully persuaded that
he is a man Of big brain and uncommon
breadth Of understanding coupled with
a fund Of information covering q great
variety of subjects. But besides his in
tellectuality and rich store Of knowledge
Mr.. Booth possesses a character OF rigid
integrity uprightness and honesty Of
purpose that marks him as the man fit
to represent the people. Furthermore
he is a democrat, strong in the conyic.
ton that the ancient principles Of dem
ocracy as %enunciated by Jefferson and
Jackson and those modern applications
of them advocated by Cleveland and
Garlic are the eternal principles Of
right to which the peace and prosperity
of our republic must be ever anchored
for safety when great waves of popular
error threaten TO destroy it. And last
| but not least Mr.. Booth IL and has been
from its earliest settlement, a citizen OF
the BLACK Hills, thoroughly knows our
wants in legislation, and would serve us
faithfully and intelligently in the halls
of congress, if elected. There appears
to be- every reason why democrats
should heartily vote for him and the
reasons are not few why he here should
receive a large republican support; and
he will doubtless get it. We thank tie
convention for his nomination

Sioux Falls has succeeded in Securing
the Services Of a number Of Black Hills
newspapers in advocating the claims Of
that place for the temporary capital Of
South Dakota. The method adopted by
that place to secure the assistance of
these papers in the furtberance of her
e%vanescent temporary capital scheme is
mildly suggested in the substitution Of a
certain character in the above mention,
which all will agree is a most potential
one. Dollars are doubly desirable when
times are dull, and of course less liable
to be ignored it may therefore be ex-
peeted that these papers will continue
to point out the sterling ~ advantages
of Sioux Falls, Mt so much a point.
