On the question of capital for the
state of South Dakota, the Ss'AE has
hitherto been silent, or practically so.
1t would seem that the length of time
the capital question has been agitatcd
that there is No need of any further
discussion OF tho matter. However
many things important in their bearing
upon the FIXTURE state of South Dal.o-
Ia, enter into this capital contest, and
: thu STAR is disposed at this time to con-
slider them. The contest this wear
will only locate the temporary capital.
One year from this fall the capital
matter in all probability will again be
before the voters of Dakota. Notwith-
standing this fact, the action tins
year s.!ould be with direct reference to
the fixing of the permanent seat OF
government of the state Of South D;l-
kota. The town that gets the tcnipor-
ary location Will haze the advantage in
the contest for the permanent location;
therefore no consideration should ill.,
0uce any voter to cast his ballot from
any feeling of friendship or compile
mcnt. Let sober and candid iu.ls-
mcnt control tEe ballot in this matter.
TO ii resident in the Black Hills it is
important that the capital bc located
as near this section as possible. The
argument SO frequently used with ref
renee to the location of a county seat.
that it should be located as near as
may be in the center of the county.
will apply with equal force to the loca
tor of the state capital. The capital
is for the use and benefit of the whole
state and not for the benefit of any one
locality. Ii the thing sought is the
attraction Of a locality, the pleasure
that one would experience in visiting
the capital city, then without an objec-
tion Hot Springs would be selected, for
there is no place in the territory to
which visit is attended with as much
pleasure as Hot Springs. But the OBJ
jection TO Hot Springs is that ii is to
near the boundry line. Nothing but sem
timent would prompt vote for Hot
Springs. Sober Judgement says that a
place more easily reached from all por-
tions of the new state should be select
ed. Then there is the fact to he con-
stantly bourn in mind, that the capital
once located will be for all time.
There is no portion of Dakota that will
support so dense population as the
five or six Black Hills counties. And
this people will have need of the cap
ital as much as any portion of the new
state. At the present there is 10 city
west of the Missouri river that is a
candidate FOR the capital, so the best
we can do as to nearness is some Mis-.
souri, river point. As between Mis-
souri, river points there are but two
places mentioned and only one of those
seem to have any show of success and
that place is Pierre. OF the capital
matter we will have more to say hero
after.

ground. which last item has been . very
heavy one
As to the verbal contract with Lyon &
Dempsey, this was made early in July and
was for about 5000 brick, as stated by
them. and given TO Meredith by me. On
August L.. 1859. they had received s., 6ii
brick at that rate, and il was supposed by
rs that this flied their contract. They
afterwards got ~ 800 brick ~ sll per thou
sand. and L, loo at SIa per thousand. and
/ $50 at Sl3 per thousand
The reason we charged them SIC and SIS
per Thousand after August l., was because
the quantity wanted was small one. and
We had been refusing to sell any more brick
at the time. fearing that We could not ill
the contracts already made. We have still
$4,000 brick to burn yet before the above
contracts are filed.
As matter of TACT the ones who are
forcing up the price OF brick. as a rule, are
the users, who not being able to buy the
brick they need, on account of the makers
having contracted all they can make in the
brief season we have, offer these large
prices in hopes they can secure them that
way. The whole trouble is in the short
ness OF the supply /, for ore, am doing
