dated the 10th inst, says:
A2iutant General George A. Silsby
and Gov. Sheldon, commandment.
CHIEF OF the South Dakota National
Guards, have issued a circular letter,
which is construed to give the death
blow to the national guards in this
state.
The letter calls attention to the
TACT that the last legislature failed to
make any appropriation for the main.
tenance OF the guard, and that after
June 81 no further state aid can DO
extended to that organization. Az
tention is called to the fact that only
two courses are open to the militia
men. One is to disband; the other
to continue the organization at the
expense of the members and OF the
citizens OF the localities in which the
companies are located. Each captain
is requested to lay the matter at once
before his men, and to secure from
them a prompt decision as to the
course they expect to take, it seems
to be the belief among military men
that tie organization will disband, as
the expense OF maintaining it entirely
without state aid would fall too
heavily upon the young men m
make up the state guards. =.
The letter states in conclusion, thao
ii the members see fit to keep up the
organization, the staff officers will re,
joice at the decision and will be glao
to serve for the next two years entire
ly without pay.
