The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1894-03-09
CURRENT COMMENT.
The State Forum is kind enough I

The State Forum is kind enough to
u say:
The Forum is disposed to agree with
n The MITCHELL REPUBLICAN for once
Z at least, that there is a good deal of
nonsense and irreverence in these mock
prayers and sermoniZing now floating
in the public press. They are neither
funny nor elevating-simply vulgar.
y Brother Buchanan's head is still level
only his heart is bad.

ii Pugilist Corbett seems to have had
an easier job knocking out the Florida
81 81 courts than he did Mitchell, for the for
y, mer made no attempt to stand up before
him.
Bland IS bill for coming the seignor-
NJ age, another cowardly makeshift, has
M got through the House but it will prob
M ably go no farther. These halfway
a measures accomplish nothing but to
AN continue the unsettled financial condi-
g tion OF the country, and If the advocates
s OF free coinage would only acknowledge
Silt. every measure OF this kind puts the
realizationo OF their hopes farther away.

NE Congressman Lucas and Pickler vot-
ed for the Bland bill, probably under
III 81 the mistaken impression that their con-:
8S stituents expected them to.

81 Will the editor OF the State Forum,
IF who may possibly be governor himself
I. some day and will want fair play, read
\ Gov. Sheldon's detailed explanation of
every transaction at Fort Sisseton and
be manly enough to admit THE REpuR-
L1cAN WAS right when ii said:
The silly and unsupported allegations
that Gov. Sheldon has unlawfully dis.
posed OF public property from off the
recently granted military Reservation
ut Sisseton seem to he conciusively ans
wered.
The national debt increased little
over 81, ,00O, 600 in February. but Febru-
ary always is a dull month for business.

The Chamberlain Register comes TO

that if newspaper success is possible in
that town il will be achieved now. The
Register has never paid since S. D.
Il Cook sold it to John King, but il has
been because the town itself has passed
Il through more trying experience than
Il it ever will have again.
