The Siour 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 be
derived from it. It will be remember
ed by our citizens that Col. Clough was
elected president Of the board Of COM
m~issioners at their last meeting in this
city, and in choosing tho Sioar City
Journal for the publication Of his let
ter be 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, it not the most blood
curdling, and the people Of South Da-
kota should appreciatathis and always
have q warm place in / heir hearts for
the Sioux City Journax.

Congress having duly assembled and
the President having submitted bis
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 sen;ihle common
sense way all the importan: questions
that concern the r. vsrnment. He
gives a 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 govel nmcnt from all source. exceed
the expenditures by sl0S.o00.0o0
There is q surplus in the treasury,
partially estimated, is $52yOO0,OOo. The
war department gets but slight at.
tention. The beet sugar industry is
deemed worthy Of attention. The Nc
Kinley hill is indarsed. aud reciprocity
is earnestly recommended. The
president urges tie passage Of
several important laws Ivy the fifty
first congress. The election laws get
more attention than any other subject.
His remarks are so orrortunc Oh this
all importsnt question Tint no one
should fail to read them. Altogether
the presidents message is just such a
document as we would expect from
such a careful painstaking president
as President Harrison. Every sentence
bears the mark Of thoughtful, wise
consideration"

FREE

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 a 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 a 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 we'll
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 to
secure the passage of such a law.
We shall look to see our United
States senators and representatives
to put their heads together and Sc.
cure the passage of this law

PooR SOUTH AKorA

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 slander7
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 renlunera-
tive investment in mining, stock
raising, irrigation projects, manu-
featuring and other pursuits is d.
vertcd from the state. This is the
motive for the SANDERS; this fact as
we'll as the love of sensationalizm
accounts for the magniied Indian
scare reports. Every settler who
is restrained by fear from entering
South Dakota, may locate in Him
OILS. Missouri, Iowa, Kansas or Ne.
braska, or he may even be induced
to remain in abject poverty al
points further east. The press Of
the state must expose these false
hoods and denouncc their authors.
To accomplish that end a liberal
and hearty support must be extend.

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 ON 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.
ton. Had he confined himself to facts
it would have done Moody's cause less
harm, but even then it would have
been a mistake. When Cressy stated
that 10000 fraudulent votes had been
cast for Pierre he knew that the state
ment was a ~falsehood. He knew--L
he has any political sense whatever
that the friends Of Pierre would resen,
such scurrilous statements. Neither
Cressy's former reputation nor hl,
present campaign will materially in
crease Moody's chances for reelection
