Fort Pierrc..s special to Sioux Falls Argus
Leader. %: In an interview with Col.
II. Il. StcarnS relative TO an article which
appeared recently in one of the Aberdeen
papers advocating the building of rail-
road from this point 10 the Black Hills by
the state in order to tap the coal fields Of
that section of country for the beneii, of
the people of South Dakota. the following
conversation took place.:
do you favor a move in that dlrcc-
tion?''
Il do. for the following reasons: First,
that such Il project would insure employ
ment to about 10000 deserving people of
the state aud open up Il means OF supply
ing the whole state with fuel at half the
price now paid by them. The distance
being about 1865 miles would probably cost
the state 81 100000 to complete the road
should the state conclude to build and
operate such road. Ii would be Il pay
ing investment from the start and would
probably pay for itself III the course of
fifteen or twenty years at the farthcSt.
'.Now the question of fuel is the vital
question before the people of South Da-
kota. AT the present high rates for fuel
capitalists do not consider South Dakota
profitable place for investments in the
way Of manufacturing plants. AT pres
ent wc have to pay SO for soft coal and
$3.50 for hard coal. How many dollars
would be saved to the people of South
Dakota in one year if the cost OF fuel was
hnt ~
price who will be kind enough to
answer this question? AT present every
dollar paid out for fuel and transportation
by the people of the state goes into tho
pockets of eastern capitalists. Last win
ter the city of Pierre paid out over s20,00t
for freight on this one item of fuel alone
AT the best eastern coal can be bought Al
from Sl.50 to $500 per ton-the difference
between the first cost and what the con-
sumcr pays goes to the middle men and
railroads. Why, sir, do you know thai
there cannot be found within the territory
of the United States such wonderful
deposits of coal as the Black Hills contain
so near dependant people withou
development and without access by rail

AMNNG EXClIANGES.

Sioux Falls Special: United States
conrt adjourned at Pierre on Friday and
will convene in this city Tuesday. AT
the Pierre term James Moore, one of the
Oren, poS,otlicc robbers. was tried and
convicted and sentenced to four years in
the peni,en,iary. The other TWO inter-
csted in the crime. Frank Williams and
William Morton. pleaded guilty and got
sentences of two years each. While con-
fined in the jail in this city they were the
mos, unruly prisoners Sheriff Knott had,
but he finally conqured them by giving
the three solitary confinement on bread
and water tor a couple OF days.
1t is very probable that the term of
court here will be a long and very inter-
eSting one. as there are several civil and
criminal cases of much Importance.
The Pierre grand juryrcturned nineteen
indictments. and a ,,nmbcr of cases will

pa,ed in the murder of the cowboys at

Two other Indians were indicted for
cattle stealing. aud they will probably
be tried here.
The Ipswich Tribune pays the following
handsome compliment: The March term
of court opened in Ipswich the 2Oth with
| Hon. l.. Z. Gatly, presiding judge. 1t is
| but fitting that we should say that the
judge has made himself popular here,
as he has in every county in which he
has held court. 1t is a wonder 10 all how
a man can consider the amount of
! business and remember the number of
decisions that Judge Gaf1y does each
week. The fairness and justice Of his
decisions are Il subject of remark by all
who come before him with business.
Against him nothing can be said-at
least not honestly said. He endeavors
| to get at the exact facts in every case,
and when he ascertains them the wrong
doer is sure to know it soon afterwards.
| The calendar is the largest one we have
had in years and will be all cleared up
next Tuesday. The people of Ipswich
and county will gladly welcome Lis honor
on his return to the next term of court
here.

the other day, that you know there
have been twenty-three presidents of
the United States. This was conceded
without going TO the records.
The first of these, he continued, with
the easy grace of man who knew what
he was talking about, was George
Washington, and, by the way, George,
who was born in 1872, was older than
any of his successors. The first TO
break the rule was John Quincy Adams,
who, while two years younger than his
successor. Jackson, was not followed
by any other older man. Mr. Van Blu.
ren's successor, Harrison. was nine
years older than himself. and no man
born before either OF these was preSi-
dent afterward. Following Tyler and
Polk came Taylor, six years Older
than TYLER and eleven years older thar
Polk. Following Fillmore and Pierce
came Buchanan, nine years older than
Fillmore and thirteen years elder thar
Pierce. Mr.. Lincoln was one yeal
younger than Johnson: Grant and

Will somebody stop the returns? The
monotony is growing SO monotonous
and the unanimIty so unanimous that it
would really be a relief to read of DEM
ocratic gains in some road district of
Texas. But for the fact that elections
arc held under the forms of law, the
dignity Of which must be sustained at
any sacrifice. 1t would seem as if there
was a friendly rivalry in making Ie-
turns for the prize Republican majority.
There Is one thing, and only one, which
the Democrats might have done 10 make

Senator German claims to be giving
little attention to politics since the adj
journment of congress. 1t was hardly
to be expected that the great senator
would fail into line with the masses. hut
this disclaimer looks like it. The DEM
ocratS who were out of politics on cleo
ton day were both numerous and widely
distributed, but to one of the senators
prominence and surplus vitality, ii was
hardly to be expected these apathetic
symptoms would have taken so deep a
hold. He was certainly a consp cuous
figure during the stormy days of the ses-
sion, and, it is popularity supposed, had
something to do with precipItaiing the
landslide. II would be creditable 10 his
Intelligence but hard on his integrity TO
conclude he saw what was coming, and
discreetlY said nothing. He was the
Samson of the senate, but his wicked
Delilah delivered him into the hands of
the sugar trust, ard now his party lies
buried in the ruins wrought in the day
of his gigantic strength.

KANSAS WILL LEAD.

EkansaS will now go forward again,
says the Kansas City Journal. We re-
spond to this declaration Of our esteemed
contemporary with thanks, bat with 1t
we indulge the hope that it Will be con-
sistent in its eulogies as il has teen per-
sistent in the disparaging comments
upon our credit and financial status in
the past. Kansas has had her load TO
carry, and her business interests have
suffered at the hands Of political adj
ventuiers, but she has not, at any time,
been wholly bankrupt i'll honor
as eastern papers have pro-
claimed to the world. It might
have been expected that Kansas City
papers would see a few redeeming traits,
aud make the exception that few men
of integrity might sojourn even in this
Nazareth OF Populi5m, but they have
maintained most pungent and deaf
ening silence on that point. The state Is
iull OF business men, and monied iuSti-
tutions with as high conceptions of honor
and as full appreciation OF state and in
dividual credit as similar ins buttons in
Missouri or New York, but the excep-
lions have never been made. Now we
take courage at the Journals in
auguration of the era of
good fellowship. Starting out
with easy honors we hasten to predict
that Missouri, redeemed, viii take higher
ground morally. politically md e7en in
the matter of Individual honor and
credit. 1t is true that, during her long
Eight of superstition and slavery, these
qualities were Inerr, but there is hope
now that new civilization has come
10 bless the dominion OF ''pukes' and
antedeiuvian Democracy. Shake brother,
shake, but remember there is remnant
of business integrity which lies at the
bottom of our late revolution at tie
polls. We will indeed "go forward"
never hating till we lead the procession.
