OTHER MATTERS.
A Sample of Dakota Sentiment,
[sioux Falls Argus-Leader.l


TREMOR OF DELIGT,
The news that the omnibus bill had
passed the house and senate and was to be
signed by President Cleveland sent ire
NOR OF delight throughout the city. For
the last ten yeaes Sioux Falls with other
towns and cities in Dakota has been work
ing increasingly for statehood. Sometimes
1T looked as if some bill was to pass but
Just as our hopes We're being realized, a
stab IN the back from an enemy or blow,
from mistaken friend would murder the
hopes of Dakota people. 1t has been a
long, weary watch, but it is now over, and
everybody is happy.
WHAT THEY EXPECT.
Merchants expect better trade, real es-
tate men boom in dirt, farmers better
crops, ministers more religion, railroads
more business-in fact everybody expects
more prosperity during the coming wear
than ever before known in the history of
Dokota. Sioux Falls shares this feeling in
the fullest degree, being the admitted me-
tropolis OF this new state.
INDIVIDUAL SENTIMENT.
Below are some of the comments
dropped in the presence of an Arovs-
Leader representative:
THE LION AND THE LAMB.
Ex-Councilman Grigsby: The wonder
is at last accomplished and the lion and
the lamb lie down together to do south
Dakota homage. Who will be United
States senators? Ask me something easy.
GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.
Judge w. w. Brookings: As the ON.
nibus bill passed, it has not the faintest

saymarks of Plat on it. Springer all tia
time held that the people should have the
chance to say whether they should take tho
Sioux Falls constitution or have a new
one. Plat wanted the Sioux Falls con.
stitution or nothing. Springer triumphed
and am glad of it. Springer stood out
against his party, and fought like a plumed
warrior for the peoples interests. Gen.
Taylor Receiver Miller, and Judge Spen-
Ger, of Huron, have worked at Washington
for the Sioux Falls constitution or moth
ing, but Springer with broad statesman.
ship and some grand ideas of justice in
sisted on this point, and carried the day.
I believe in giving the devil his dues, even
if he is the devil.
WILL CELEBRATE JULY FOURTH.
A. C. Phillips: Sioux Falls will have
Fourth of July celebration that will be a
success this year, and no question about
it. Fireworks will not be out of place, for
fact. Let the cannons roar. But seri-
ously. Dakota has much to be thankful
for. 1t seems more like piece Of good
luck than anything else, considering the
number of enemies on every hand we have
had to contend with.
THE BIGGEST OF THEM ALL
j. NJ. Bailey, Jr.: It means a city of
oV,uUo lnnaDltantS mere In nVe years time.
1t means land in this part of the territory
worth $50 per acre the minute the procla-
nation is issued. It means lots of fun for
the boys. feel as if somebody had left
me fortune. South Dakota will be the
biggest state of them ALL
FAyoRs OMNIBUS FORGIVENESS.
w. H. Lyon: l was afraid that Plat
would kick things over but is now looks
q & a rio dc Lot
omnibus forgiveness and join hands for
magnificent progress in the future.
AN ORIGINAL COPY PRESERVED.
H. NJ. Avery: have in my safe the
original document to the Sioux Falls con-
stitutlon in my own handwriting. If that
is to be the constitution of the state of
South Dakota, 1 feel that have enough
glory to last me through life. Let her go,
