GIVE THANKS.

There are certainly many things to be
enumerated for which Dakotans can give
thanks this year, while the festive gobbler
and cranberry sauce is being devoured
1t may "crimp" democrats to fully appre.
ciate the glorious republican victory"
mentioned as one Of the things to give
thanks for in Gov. Mellettes proclamation,
bat while enjoying (although they wont
admit III the high and healthy republican
atmosphere of South Dakota, they can
obtain little pleasure in giving thanks
for political results in some Of the fo0gy
and unhealthy states south and east of us.
BY rummaging around in the puplic or
private history of 1889, each individual
can ind something to be thankful for.
It's worth the rummage.

CUT 'ER DOWN

Iroquois Chief: The Legislature OF
South Dakota is too large and expensive.
Parkston Advance:-The state legisla-

them just the same.

DISCUSSION OF PUBLIC QUESTION


An editor frequently has inquiries made
to him Of why he does not more fully
discuss questions of public import, and is
give n the views of persons who are en-
thusias%s upon certain questions. A query
of this nass're to the editor Of department
Of some big paper, who has nothing else
to do than looS after his certain little
department, would Teceive ready answer
in presentation Of iae subject in his
paper, but TO country newspaper man
vhosa dutiSs arc oulJ rvstri>ted co editor,
reporter. book-keeper, business manager +,
job printer, pressman, ETC., i, is not
strange that he cannot find time to give
any subject that careful examination aisi
thought. so necessary to the thorough dis
cussion desired by the enthusiast.
In consequence of the above situation
the PRESS invites discussion of public
questions by citizens who have time an1
inclination TO give their subject the proper
study. We would prefer the use of the
writer's name, which insures his response
bility for opinions, as we'll as respectful
treatment for the opinions Of others.
Still. If any are averse to giving their
names to the public, il makes little diff
ference. except requiring exercise of our
prerogative, as 10 whether all parts OF
articles be suitable for publication.

Democratic papers say the, country de-
mands reduction OF the tariff, and are
making great fuss over the recent state
elections. That is what the republicans
have claimed for some time. The only
difference of opinion upon the question is
who the country wanted to perform this
duty. Evidently the republicans. as they
were last year given complete control OF
the law making powers. The tariff will
b e corrected all right, but 10y its friends.

Faulxton citizens have had somewhat OF
sensational time over coal matters al
that place. The Aberdeen News stated
that numter of merchants, bankers,
money loaners, ect, gobbled up a lot of
the free coal shipped in by railroads for
farmers. The people of Faulkton SAID it
was an untruth. Last week the editor of
the Aberdeen paper went to Faulkton
aud received a very warm reception from
indignant citizens, but by examination of
records the News man claims he can now
substantiate everything said in his paper,
and has the names of Faulkton cilizens
who received coal Faulkton papers deny
the whole thing.
Just why this coal business should in
clude farmers and no others, is more than
the PRESS can figure out Every man
doing business in OAK ota, OF whatever
nature, must depend more or less npon
agricultural output. In case of failure of
crops in some localities business men are
as directly affected as farmers, and why
the business men Of Fauskton, or else
where, should not have some benefit In
reduction OF rates is the mystery of the
hour. Men who handle the various kinds
of goods shipped into this country are cer-
tainly as necessary to the railroads, as
the railroads are to them.

IRRIGATION,

A Mr.. Berringer, representing the
National Loan and Land Co. was in Miller
recently looking after the interests of his
company. He thinks loan companies will
soon prepare some plan by which they
can improve the security of their present
loansin South Dakots, by sinking artesian
wells. The substance of plans now under
discussion is to raise the present loans
upon four quarter sections by advancing
to the owners sufficienl sum to sink an
artesian we'll and prepare for irrigation OF
the same. For instance take four claims
upon .hich the present loans are $500
each, aPgregating $4,000. Advance say
$4,000 more on the four quarters ana
place on one of them flowing we'll which
will irrigate all four. The benefits to ac-
crue at once to the borrower and lender
alike are patent. -Four farms under irri-
CATION would be gilt edge security for
i,OOO,and the sure production of bounte-
GUS crops would soon place the farmer in
position to carry his increased loan
better than the present small loan.
