stronger with the People.

Aberdeen Republican; The retiring
of Redfield from the capital race and
the reported retirement of Watertown
shows the weakness of these capital
cities. Mitchell and Chamberlain will
probably soon follow. That will leave
in the field Pierre, Huron and Sioux
Falls. That will make Pierre a sure
winner. She will get a majority in all
the counties of the Hills, u majority in
the two lines of river counties from
Campbell county to Elk Point. She
will get a majority in the two
northern tiers of counties. That will
leave n few of the southeastern tier Of
counties to be divided up between
Huron and Sioux Falls which will make
Pierre q sure winner. The talk of n
town delivering its vote or its neighbor-
ing vote TO any particular city Is all
bosh. The free voters OF South Dakota
can't be sold or traded off. They know
the ring that retires gets the Doodle and
il will make them faster friends OF the
town they want to down. lt Is the old
cry of anything to beat Grant or in
other words, it is anything to down
Pierre. That cry made Grant, the old
hero, stronger with the people, and so II
will be with the noble people Of Dakota,
Pierre stands before the people OF Dako
ia as Grant did, upon its merits. Pierre
is before the people because she has
| right and justice on her side, to all the
PEOPLE Of Dakota for capital location
for all future time. Let the ringster.
and boodlers cry anything to dowr
Pierre and the noble people Of Dakets
will settle their hash by voting fol

surely nnd Ea.,I, Win.

Sturgis ADVERTISE: The Woonsocket
Investment company has decided in ia
vor of Pierre for the temporary capital
and has consequently thrown the entire
weight Of its immense influence To that
city. THIS company will give Pierre
many thousand votes throughout the
state and in conjunction with a two.
thirds vote from the Hills can surely
and easily win. The people of the Hills
M be relied upon 10 east their ballots
in their own interests ard not for the
benefit of a few capitalists alone. The
more study given to the question the
more il becomes apparent that every in.
terest of the Black Hills demands that
Pierre shall be the temporary capital,

Doing Square work.

Aberdeen Appeal: When the contest
is oyer and Pierre's majority over her
competitors in the capital race is APP
parent to all, the people of South Dako-
tn will rejoice that ~justico has been done
and that they have chosen well. Pierre
IS doing only fair square work, in pre-
senting her claims to the public, and
she will never have cause 10 regret her
honorable course in the campaign.

Clinching Pierre,. Hold.

vermillion Republican: There is talk
of the candidate towns uniting on some
one town, the others TO pull out Of the
race, and thus defeat Pierre. Such talk,
for il will probably end in talk, is q vir-
tually a concession that Pierre - far IN
the lead. As Pierre is the second choice
of two.thirds of the voters favoring 9th
er towns this scheme will only clincli
Pierre's hold on the prize.

Representatives from all aspirants but

Vote for pierre.

Hot Springs Star: a circular has
been put out by some one announcing
Hot Springs as a candidate for the cap
ital of South DAKOTA. While the Star
would be exceedingly pleased if Hot
Springs could he made the capital of
South Dakota yet il is an absolutely i'm
possible thing, and the Star earnestly
hopes that no voter on this side OF the
Missouri river will waste his vote by
casting it for Hot Springs. Every vote
of the Black Hills should be cast for
Pierre and a vote for Hot Springs means
a half vote for Sioux Falls or some
other east Dakota town. The circular
was no doubt put out for advertising
purposes; but let no voter in the Hills
be deceived thereby. Vote for Pierre.

The People wiz. Us.

Rec Heights Free Press: The Free
Press is for Pierre for the capital-tem-
porary and permanent, and the people
of this locality are with us. No reason
for the location of the capital at any
other point can be given which does not
apply with greater force TO Pierre. Lo-
cality, water supply, hotel accommoda-
lions, and all the varied pleas put in by
capital aspirants, are filled by Pierre
completely. A selfish motive may
prompt some to favor Pierre, but a due
consideration of our states best Interest
and MI its inhabitants leads us to no
change of opinion. Vote therefore as
your sentiment, your interest and your
patriotism dictate-Pierre.
The combination of rival towns
against Pierre is busted, the slate is
broken and the pieces lost. What's the
matter with choosing Pierre by ACCLAIM
alton?
Now worth m~oney-The Race Ended.
Memo Rural Voice: The Woonsock-
ct Capital Investment company have
located at Pierre. This was entirely I'M
necessary for the purpose OF locating
the capital there. Pierre would get the
capital without 1t by an overwhelming
majority; but, by putting their interests
in there they have simply put money
into the pockets of the stockholders Just
like \ free gift. Now that Woonsocket
stock is worth money.

Judge Edgerton Speaks Out in
Meetin'."

Judge Edgerton, who was lately
removed from the Office of Civil Ser
vice Commissioner By Cleveland has
written scathing letter to that officer.
He says among other things: "You
will be censured and universally con-
emned because you put no trust in
your own party, but believed yourself
to be better than Your own and greater
than all parties. shall be quite will
ing to remain with you in the gloom
OF defeat" He continues, after refer
ing to an article in defense of the Adj
ministration which appeared in the
Baltimore Sun OF the Nth inst. " In
the statement OF your public acts, as
printed in the Sun article referred to-,
is this declaration When Mr.. Cleve-
land came into office he found the de-
partments filled by incompetents who
had found permanent Judgement there
through favoritism, etc. How can You
say YOU found the Departments filled
with incompetcnts, and yet retained
all in Office through your Administra-
ton? There is a mistake somewhere.
Did YOU not know, Mr.. President that
nearly three-iouIths of all the persons
now in office in the departmental ser
vice were there in 1888? You will
soon have no power of removal, and
the places they held will not be sub
iect to your 'clearing-out' efforts.
You have shut your eyes to the fact
that these clerks have been active and
successful in aiding in your own clear
ing-cut,' and the poor Civil Service
eligibles still have the wide scope you
have secured for them on the outside,
while the incompetent are rejoicing
within. You do not understand the
Civil Service law, Mr.. President. Its
examinations are not made for those
inside, but for those outside. Your
theory of inaction would defeat the
law. You have not dared to weed out
| the incOmpetents."

Representative Butler, of Tenne

REPRESENTATIVE Butler, of Tenne-
see, has introduced bill in Congress
providing for the appropriation Of
one million dollars for the construc-
ton of what is to be the largest re-
fracting telescope in the world. The
object glass is to be sixty inches in
diameter and of corresponding focal
length. The bill furthermore pro-
vides that the Secretary of the Navy
shall have charge of the construction
of this huge optical instrument. Now
it is clearly reasonable that the build
ing OF war ships, land notifications or
anything else that relates to the
wholesale prosecution Of carnage and
bloodsbed, should be delegated to the
army and navy, but We fail to see why
matters appertaining to the arts of
peace and scientific research should
be managed Ivy the grim dogs of war
From this point of view it is proper
for the Navy Department to make big
guns, but would assign TO IA commits
sion of scientists the construction of
the Nations boss telescope.

The First Step Taken.

A telegram received yesterday an
nounced that the Springer admission
bill had passed both branches of Con-
gress as it came from the committee of
conference. If so, the probability that
the wheels of State will begin to revolve
before the year 1890 enters upon the
scene, is reduced to certainty. It
will make lively year in politics, for
no less than three elections will have
to be-. h III before III rw r''r s.
things can be said to have been luI.y
inaugurated. The first Of these will
be ON the 18th Of May. This should
not be political contest, in party
sense. Men should be chosen for
their ability, and the varied interests
of the State should be represented by
our best citizens. The vote on the
constitution need not necessarily be
of Il partisan nature. If the work OF
the convention is properly done, it will
not be necessary to oppose its adoption
and the only possible contest will be
upon the subjects submitted by seized.
ule for incorporation or rejection
The labors of the convention need moi
consume more than a fortnight, and
the document will probably be sub
mitted to the people the latter part o.
July, allowing ample time fol
consideration before the vote in DC
tober. The Constitution itself will
provide for election of State and Con
gressional officers, probably the latter
part of November, and the Legislature
will meet in December to elect U. S
Senators and provide by law for thu
transition to Statehood. The late
election will, of course, be waged on ;
partisan basis, but until the time ar
rives we see no reason why there ma!
not be unanimity of effort and harmon.
of counsels in laying broad and deel
the foundations of State Government

torial Auditor, but who is greatest as
editor of the OLYMPIA STANDARD, is
going to begin the publication of an
evening daily in that town. Olympia
feels the need of giving daily evidence
of the spirit which is moving them.
Mr.. Murphy is an old-time newspaper
man. He reported the Legislature
away back, probably before Uncle"
Joe Foster was first elected to that
august assemblage He can tell more
about what has taken place in the
capitol building than most old-timers.
But the passing years have fallen off
Mr.. Murphy like water off ducks
back. He doesn't grow old, and there
is legend that he moves about so
rapidly that the moss has no chance
to grow on his back. OF course the
paper will succeed"
