STATE CANVAssING BOARD.

STATE CANVsASStNG BOARD.
The State Canvassing board met yes
terday at Pierre to canvass the vote Of
November 4. The approximate plu-
rality for Mellete is 1900; congress.
men 5000; state officers. $4,000; The
Majority for Pierre is about 1000;
against increase of debt, 5000 against
woman suffrage, 24.OO0, in favor Of
Indian suffrage, 6,OOJ. This latter vote
is the most astonishing thing ever to
I've immagined and the first thing TO be
done by the legislature is to correct it.
The blind way Of printing the tickets
is alone to blame. South Dakota
cast "a, 500 votes. 1t is making very
dispass,onate statement when tue Rec
ord claims that 77,450 votes would
have been cast against Indian suffrage
had the question been presented in-
telligibly to the people. And even
now,its no sure thing that rattle brain
ed or ignorant precinct election clerks
hav mt counted the ballots wrongly

The SioMr City Journal of Yesterday
morning, Dec. 4, prints an excellent
letter from the pen Of Col. E. E. Clough.
which tells of the efforts put forth to
build The home, and the benefits to he
derived from it. It will be remember
ed by our citizens that Col. Clough was
elected president Of the board of com.
missioners at their last meeting in this
city, and in choosing the Siour City
Journal for the publication of his let
ter he exhibited praisworthy discern
ment. The Journal during the Indian
6asco has shown that it appreciates the
position in which South Dakota has
been placed by the slanderous stories
Of "warlike" correspondents written
for eastern papers, The Journal has
been rather conservative and is in
clined to allay rather than promote
the excitement Of settlers and their
eastern friends. Its reports have been
the most reliable, If not the most blood
curdling, and the people Of South Da.
kota should appreciate this and always
have q warm place in heir hearts for
the Sioux City JournsA.

THE MESSAGE.

Congress having duly assembled and
the President having submitted his
annual message, it is presumed that
it is generally read BY the masses Of
people. Tho following comments Of the
Pierre Capita! concisely sums up the
contents, and voices the general
opinion of the public on the i'm
portant.. document. 1.-The presidents
message is an able document, though
conservative. 1t is republican to the
core and treats in a sensihle common
sense way all the important questions
that concern the e. vsrnment. He
gives careful resume of our relations
with foreign countries. Evidently
reports about our national treasury be-
ing empty were false. The message
sets forth the fact that the revenues of
the govei nmcnt from all sources exceed
the expenditures by $lO5,O0O. 600.
There is surplus in the treasury,
partially estimated, is $52O OO0, 600. The
war department gets but slight at.
tention. The beet sugar industry is
deemed worthy Of attention. The Nc.
Kinley hill is indarsed, and reciprocity
lis earnestly recommended. The
president urges tie passage of
several important laws hy the fifty.
first congress. The election laws get
more attention than any other subject.
His remarks are SO orrortnnc Oh this
all importsnt question .l,nt no one
should fail TO read them. Altogether
the presidents message is just such a
document as we would expect from
such careful painstaking president
as President Harrison. Every sentence
bears the mark Of thoughtful, wise
consideration.

POOR SOUTH DAKOTA.

Poor, helpless South Dakota, the
Cinderella Of the states, upon
whom her sisters have inflicted
every possible wrong, slight and in
suit that malice could suggest or
envy devise; how soon will she re-
cover from the blighting influence
of this latest slandet1
Her lands have been pronounced
a desert, while they were filling the
granaries of the world; her climate
represented artic in severity at the
very seasons when soft Pacific
winds and cloudless skies were
cheating winter of half his reign.
Her people, because a few lunatics
have escaped eastward, have been
styled a commonwealth of cranks.
She was for years denied the right
of statehood, she has for years
paid exhorbitant tribute to the
loaners of eastern money, while
last year, her crop failure, not
greater than that which was exper-
fenced in other states, was magni-
fed, in part through the folly of
her own people, into dire disaster.
And so it has gone, Dakota, South
Dakota especially, has evidently
been singled out as the target Of
the eastern press, and the cynosure
of sectional jealousy in every part
of the land. The result is that i'm
migration is retarded and capital
which would find most rcnlunera-
tive investment in mining, stock
raising, irrigation projects, manu-
featuring and other pursuits is di-
vertcd from the state. This is the
motive for the slanders; this fact as
we'll as the love of sensationalizm
accounts for the magni6ed Indian
scare reports. Every settler who
is restrained by fear from entering
South Dakota, may locate in Him
ois. Missouri, Iowa, Kansas or Ne.
braska, or he may even be induced
to remain in abject poverty at
points further east. The press oi
the state must expose these false.
hoods and denouncc their authors.
To accomplish that end a liberal
and hearty support must be extend:
ed. We have nothing to hope
from outside papers; we should find
no further bounty for them.
These efforts, supplcmc: ted by a
fair degree IF courage upon the
part of the settlers, will in a meas
ure overcome tho evil effes t, of ou,
recent malign advertising, unless,
as now seems evident, the troops
now afield arc ssbound to have al
Indian war, anyway"

FREE HOMES.

There are a number Of impor-
tant measures to come before con-
gress at this session. One of par
mount Importance, which should
receive attention at once, is law
providing free homes for all per-
manent settlers on the recently
opened Sioux reservation. 1t is
only just to the settlers now living
on the reservation as we'll as to those
who will hereafter seek homes
there that such a law be passed.
The passage Of such a law would
be of great benefit to thousands of
poor people who are seeking per-
manent homes but are too poor to
pay s1.25 per acre for the land.
1t is noteworthy fact that the
pioneers of any new country suffer
more hardships and endure more
privations than the generations
that follow. AS a recompense for
these privations the government
can well afford to give 100 acres of
land to every settler who will build
a home, cultivate the soil and live
thereon five years. 1t has been
the policy Of the government hith-
erto when opening public lands to
settlement to give free homes to all
persons desiring to make perman-
ent homes on such lands.
In view of the fact that the re-
publicans will be in a minority in
the fifty-second congress it stands
them in hand to secure all the leg
islat;on possible during this session
for the northwest. It is a well
known fact learned from sad exper-
fence that a democratic congress
will not legislatc for the northwest.
South Dakota needs this law. The
settlers on the reservation deserve
it. Can we not have it. Our rep
resentativcs in congress could dc
the state no greater service than tc
secure the passage of such a law.
We shall look to see our United
States senator's and representatives
to put their heads together and Sc,
cure the passage of this iaw.-
Pierre Cadital.

The Pierre Capital of Dec. 2, IN an
editorial way, thus expresses himself
in regard to Elder Cressey's mission to
this state. 1t seems his mission was
not beneficial to MIR. Moody as it was
intended to be. E. T. Cressy, who has
been in this state some weeks laborlng
in the interests of the reelection Of
Moody to the United States senate
showed poor judgement and a lack of
good political sense by expressing his
opinion so freely on the capital cleo
tion. Had he confined himself to facts
it would have done Moody's cause less
harm, but even then it would have
been mistake. When Cressy stated
that 10000 fraudulent votes had been
cast for Pierre he knew that the state.
ment was falsehood. He knew--li
he has any political sense whatever
that the friends Of Pierre would resent
such scurrilous statements. Neithe,
Cressy's former reputation nor hls
present campaign will materially in
crease Moody's chances for reelection
