Yankton Reservation Land.

Filings on the Yankton reservation
land are being made very slowly. and
there are still 200 good quarters that
are open. Many good claims outside
OF these are held by squattcrs. who
have merely driven stakes or plowed
burrows and who can be driven OF by
anyone who pays a filing fee at the
land Office. The general lay OF the
land and characters of soil is as good
rs it is anywhere in south Dakota, not
excepting Union and Clay counties.
There are still plenty OF claims, and
old soldiers who have not already
proven up on homesteads can file a sol
dier's declaratory statement for q NOM
inal fee and hold the land for six months
before filing their homestead entry.
ThOs. H. Ayers and Geo. L. Beckett
were In town Saturday and will be
here again next Saturday with maps
and plats OF YanktOn lands, and those
who desire to file can do SO BY consult
ing them. They can be addressed ct

will be very large total deficit. IL can
not be otherwise under the present
revenue laws, unless there should be n
very unusual increase in the importation
OF ddtiable foreign goods.
Perhaps, II all American industries
were closed down aud we should buy and
consume only foreign products, the
revenue receipts might meet the govern
ment expenditures. What a blessed
thing tariff reform is when you come to
take a straight front view OF all it's possi-
bilitiesl What a splendid balance OF
trade can be worked up against us under
it's benchcent reign! With its largely
reduced duties our imports must be very
largely increased TO secure revenue de-
rived from the higher restrictions under
the Mckinley act, and all this increase
must necessarily be at the expense oil
American capital and labor.
But with all this increase OF importa-
tions, the receipts fall far below the ex-
pendltures, and the deficit il swelling
every month. IL will probably he not
less than $60,O0O,000 for this fiscal
year; il being nearly half that now at
the close OF the first half of the fiscal
year.
What does this plainly iorotell? An
other bond issue Of $50, 600, 600 or more
ere long and perhaps twice 50,000,0OO
before next July. And all this for the
sake OF experimenting with "My Policy"

THE DEMOcRAT TIC BLUNDERERS.

The freak administration az Washing
ton is making an exhibition OF itself in
trying 20 wallow out OF the morass into
which IL has become involved 10y it's
blind attack upon the policy OF protec-
ton and reciprocity. Starting with the
claim that the protective system was "A
Chinese wall which prevented the growth
OF commercial relations with foreign
countries, il struck out the reciprocity
act. which more rapidly extended our
foreign commerce than any legislation
in that direction in the history Of
the government. Not only that, but in
it's tariff tinkering il made such unjust
determinations that foreign govern
mcnts have instituted retaliatory meas
urcs which will cause tremendous
decline in our export trade in provisions
and inflict great financial loss upon our
packing industry.
The retaliatory edicts OF the foreign
governments are causing the administra-
ton TO squirm and protest, but IL is well
aware 81 the weakness of It's position,
and It's protcstations are mingled with
threats OF retaliation against Spain.
The situation IL enough to make every
patriot blush with shame The United
States government has not been in so
humiliating situation since the war OF
1912.
Should the Cleveland administration
add n financial blunder 60 its confessed
laundering on the tariff question it will
60 out under a shadow OF ignominy that
will blacken the Democracy nquartcr
Of a century Evening Wisconsin.

fines national protection, which is now
and always has been advocated by the
Republican party; ut means legislative
encouragement to the employment OF
American capital and labor at home in
the development OF all our natural
sources of wealth and prosperity, instead
OF sending our capital abroad TO aid in
the production OF foreign wealth and to
pay for foreign labor. II means legisla-
tive security against the dependency OF
the nation upon foreign countries for ITS
means OF defense, and OF our people for
their nscessaries and comforts OF life
1t means legislative barriers against the
exhaustion OF the wealth OF the country
by sending it abroad ia exchange for
perishable articles, instead Of using it at
home in exchange for the like articles
produced by American labor from the
earth or in the factory. In the former
case both money aud the article IL buys
are lost TO our country; in the latter,
the money stays at home and goes on

a TRUST" which Is Popular.

There is great deal OF Indignation felt
against trusts. The Sugar Trust, the
Standard Oil Trust, the Welsh Tin
Plate Trust. the English Salt Trust, and
other combinations of the kind, are
vigorously denounced, and il is Il sub
iect of controversy whether there are
more trusts in England than Amerca,
and whether protection or Tree trade
fosters them. But there is one form OF
trust against which no one has anything
TO say. That Is the trust the public re-

THE report of the commissioner
Of education for the year ending
November 80, 1898, which has just
been published, shows that the
number of pupils enrolled in
schools and colleges, public and
private, was 15,083,630, or 22.5 per
cent of the entire population of the
country. OF this number, 1920
719 were in the public schools, and
they had 22,056 male and 260,954
female teachers. According to the
details of attendance, it appears
that children of the Uuited States
leave school for about two-fifths OF
the year to engage in labor, OF
from other motives. In the last
twenty years, the value of school
property and the amount of com
mon school expenditures have
more than doubled--Gobe-Demo
