AYTER THE GOVERNOR.

Senator Pettigrew is out openly de-
claring that Governor Mellette has made
q great error in his begging trips for seed
wheat. The act he considers very ill-ad-
vised and the senator believes he has
done the state an almost irreparable
injury in circulating stories that the
farmers in the interior are starving to
death. Such q condition of things are
known positively not to exist.
sit makes me blush with shame" said
the senator, "to think that this state
with an assessment roll of $500, OOO, 900
and an indebtedness of seven mills on the
dollar, should lower it's dignity so far as
to beg for seed wheat, With gold on one
end OF our glorious state and the grand
est soil on the other it is indeed an I'M
mitigated disgrace at which we. all must
bow our heads."-Sioux Falls special, 4.
We believe the senator was right with
regard to begging. Arrangements could
have been quietly made whereby seed
would have been advanced and payment
made from the crop in the fall. But in
regard to the senator's blush, we object.
ii the senator still has one, (Which we
doubt why should he use it in connec-
fion with seed wheat? He had better
blush-if he can-at the high rates OF in

which have added plaster to plaster I'M

A Kentuckian Not a Colonel.

"Did you hear about Theodore Hal
lam getting appointed 'mister?' said a
gentleman to a friend in a hotel lobby
this evening.
NO." was the reply; 'tell us about
it."
"Well," continued the Kcntuckian, a
well-known Covingtonian, ''Hallam is
9 very bright man; would he in con-
gross, | reckon, were he not in the Same
district with Carlisle, and may be, some
time, anyway, though he and Carlisle
are great friends.
"Some time ago somebody called
Hallam colonel, and he protested to be
greatly alarmed at the prospect of get
ting mixed up and his identity lost with
the great myriads of Kentucky colonies.
So he applied to the present governor,
who was then running for the office,
for an appointment on his staff, with
the title of mister The pledge was
kept, and Hallam now has his commits

and signature, regularly appointing

Eastern Dakota politicians have COM
menced war upon Governor Mellette. 1t
is thought the governor has senatorial
as aspirations, and that his chances, should
he succeed in making certain combina,
tons, are very good. His election at the
next meeting of the legislature to be q
United States senator would interfere
with the plans of certain politicians, and
everything possible will be done to destroy
his boom in its infancy. There are YET
several months in which to scheme and
work, and it is not at all likely that the
senatorial contest will be held down to two
men. Besides Senator Moody and
Mellette there are others in the eastern
part of the state whose ambition it is tc
serve the dear people in the senate Of the
nation, 50 all interesting time may be
ooked for.-Exchange.
Hon. A. S. Way, one of Custer county's

tcct the development Of the tin mines III

The long looked for proclamation
came on the tenth. The reservation Is
open and the Black Hills country is
annexed to the United States. The re-
sources OF the Hills are SO varied that
for years past the people have, and
probably for years to come could have
lived very comfortable without the rest
Of the United States: but then it would
show such s%elfishness, we have had SO
much more than was needed. Now
that it is done, a cordial invitation is
extended to our eastern friends to come
and partake of our blessings, and also
shoulder our burdens. Think of the
$50 miles OF rich lands to the east OF us
on every 160 acre Of which q dwelling
must go up and the foundation rock,
the lime and lumber must all come from
the Hills. For one year at least the
residents of this vast tract must be fed
railroads must be built and there will
be work for all. Surely the future looks
bright.
