and removed hither. While holding
this position the land Office was re-
moved to Watertown. He was ap-
pointed territorial governor by Presi-
dent Harrison, and was twice elected
to that position after South Dakota
was admitted to statehood. He made
his home ut Watertown until nearly
two years ago, when he removed to
Pittsburg, Kansas. to practice law and
start in life anew, having lost all his
property as bondsman of defaulting
state treasurer Taylor-turning over
his property freely, of his W accord.
He had accumulated considerable
property, and his prompt relinquish-
ment of it to the state-aMounting to
more than that of any other two or
three bondsmen combined-left him
penniless. He IA thus a victim of
misplaced confidence in financial af-
fairs, as he chad been politically. Short

tunes a soncommitted suicideat Brook

thus made pathetically sad. He was a
true, honorable man, who was deserv-

to a share of good cheer and happiness
which he always endeavored to bring
to Others, v e through all the trials
and vicissitudes of his later years.
The funeral services will take place
at Watertown, s. ID. where the remains
will be laid to rest.

Tomorrow will be Decoration day-a
day set apart as a legal holiday in
memory of the heroes who fell in bat
Ting for the Union. 1t will be prop
erly observed in Hot Springs; in fact it
is every year.
AS time rolls along this holi-
day is becoming more sacredly OBJ
served throughout the Union, and the
graves of the dead heroes of the great
war are strewn with beautiful, fragrant
flowers in remembrance of their valiant
services, and heroic death in a noble
cause
Rest ON. embalmed and suinted dead!
Dear us the blood We gave:
No impious footstep here shall tread
The heritage of your grave:
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or honor points the lallowed spot
Where Nnlor proudly sleeps.
Gratifying it is that at least one day
n each year is set aside to be espec-
tally observed in memory of the nations
noble dead, and in honor of the pa
triotic survivors.
While we are honoring and revering
the memory of the departed soldiers,
whose lives have beencut short in con-
sequence of patriotic service of coun-
try, may good health. good cheer and
c%ontentment attend the living veter-
ans, to whom we bow this day in deep
gratitude and honor, and may the
sweet perfume of happiness radiate the
remaining days of their lives.

POLITICAL PALAvER.

Candidates are making themselves
known these DAYS.
The Black Hills country needs repre-
sentation in congress, and is entitled
to it.
DIR. Smith. of Sturgis, is announced
as a candidate for railroad commits
sioner. The doctor is an able man and
a most worthy one for such a position.
Fall River might be for Gardner for
congress; or it might be for Wilson for
attorney general; or it might be for
both. There are three horns to the
dilemma.
There is a republican element of the
county that thinks that Fall River
county might very properly select a
delegation to Aberdeen that would
support both a Hills congressman and
a Hills attorney general. How is it?
While the usual scramble for office
is going Oh it would not be a bad thing
for the people to consider whether it is
the office seekers interest that should
be subserved, or the interests of the
people. Which office, which candidate
will be of most benefit to the commu-
nifty, county, or state?
Editor Mayhem of the Letcher Blade,
captured the delegates of his county in
a hot contest with Banker Kean, who
wanted to be lieutenant governor. Mr.
Mayhem will now be presented at the
Aberdeen convention as a candidate
for state auditor, and with a strong
following.
Whew! Candidates are really sprout-
ing like mushrooms. The local talk is
of Judge Gardner for congress; s. e.
Wilson for attorney general;
of G. NJ. Cleveland of this place. and
of w. G. Porter, of Custer, for state
senator; of Harry GODDARD, of Edge.
mont, for the same place, and yester-
day a friend whispered that Judge
Cleveland wanted to help elect the
next U. S. senator by having a seat in
the state senate chamber. Then there's
Nat Dryden, of Cheyenne river, Ed
Bond. of Beaver, and some Edgemont
gentleman talked of for sheriff. Audi
tor Smithson is being urged for promo
ton to the register of deeds Office.
Charley Conger is mentioned forcounty
auditor or the Legislature; and Attorney
McNutt, of Edgemont, also wants to
go to the legislature. John Burke.
Walter Anderson, o. B. Chesley, and
j. C. Mckee are in it for denomination.
Ditto, Judge Juckett.
This is republican talk, and there
may be more of it, but we hurriedly
give this Pro Bono Publico.

law to the forfeit Of he bond. She
spoke Of the noble qSality Of mercy
and pleaded SO earnest&, not alone we
think for Antonio's salD and that she
might discharge the detE her husband
owed, but also that she might save the
Jew from the snare which he himself
had spread. She babe him remember
that mercy had a double blessing,
blessing both giver and receiver. That
it "became the monarch better than his
crown" and as we all pray for mercy
that prayer should teach us to show it,
but the %unfeeling Shylock will not re-
lent. Her tender pleadings are scorn-
ed; her offers of twice and thrice the
money refused. Then with wonderful
shrewdness and sagacity she takes adj
vantage of a bubble of the law. 1.-THE
bond doth give thee here no jot Of
blood" and since it is impossible to
cut off a pound of flesh without she'd
ding blood, this saved Antonio's life
and brought the young counselor much
applause. But she cares not for COM
pliments and congratulations. and only
desires to slip quickly away. She re-
fuses a fee for her services but her
light heart and playful spirits suggest
a merry jest upon her husband. She
will secure the ring she gave him in
betrothal which his gratitude cannot
refuse and then upon his return home,
tax him with having given it to a
woman.
She returns home in a most happy
frame of mind. The moonlight never
seemed so fair. The light from her
house in Belmont shining out into the
night reminded her of a good deed in
a naughty world" Hearing the sound
of music she said, "methinks that music
is sweeter than by day." Everything
she saw was tinged with rosy hues Of
her own charmed fancy. Everything
she heard was turned to the music Of
her own happy spirits.
In reviewing the character of Portia
we find great intellectual power COM
bined with quick apprehension and
rarely perfect Judgment. United to
these mental qualities, she "a gener-
Gus, brave, loving, kind, gifted with
sparkling wit and graceful fancy.
What lacked she? And "when shall
we in this poor world her fellow find"

EX-GOVERNOR MELLErTE DEAD.

The STAR, in common with people all
over the state, deplores the death of
that grand, good man, Ex-Governor A.
G. Mellette, who died of heart failure
ut his home in P%ittsburg, Kansas, last
Monday morning. He had been in
poor health for several weeks, though
his condition was not regarded as criti-
cal.
The STAR editors enjoyed a personal
acquaintance with the distinguished
deceased, and were always admirers of
his honorable, honest methods, his 10y
atty to friends, his ~magnanimity and
big, true-heartedness, his oncer and
interest in the welfare of others, how
YER humble, his noble character. and
manly worth as a citizen, as we'll as
statesman. He was a splendid man,
who was best appreciated and most ad-
mired by those who knew him init
mately. With the great numbers of
his South Dakota friends the STAR
mourns his untimely demise, and ex-
sends sincerest sympathy to his de.
voted wife and family.

THE CITY DEMOCRATIC COMMIr
TEE.

% The Virginian has not hesitated In the
past TO criticise the acts of former com
smittees OF the Democratic party of Nor
folk. While it was exceedingly UNI
pleasant to do so, yet it felt that 1t
would be recreant to its duty If ii failed
to condemn where condemnation was
deserved. 1t is therefore more than
qualification to extend hearty words of
commentator to Chairman Alfred p.
Thorn and the committee for their man
agement of the party's affairs during
the canvass so BRILLIANTLY closed. From
the very outset Mr.. Thorn and the COM
mfttee worked to the end OF securing
Democratic harmony as means of
Democratic success. Every obstacle in
the way was removed, and every hon
orable effort was made to secure the
earnest, hearty and cordial support OF
the Democratic masses. The committee
l nver arrogated any power TO itself that
1T was not vested with, and this In the
tstart was an assurance TO the party
I, that the voice of the Democratic voter
would have hearing and that his opin-
Ion would be respected.
d Hence by reason of their faithful per-
Sformance of duty, connected with the
trust reposed in their Keeping, the man
3agement OF the party are entitled to the
thanks and congratulations of the Dem
aocracy Of Norfolk. The Virginian has
much knowledge of the singleness of
& purpose and unselfsh reasons which
actuated Mr.. Thorn in accepting the
workmanship, and now that he has
rendered his resignation 1t does not hest
tate to say that trust was never more
faithfully discharged. The record the
committee has made will we'll serve for
the future guidance OF party manage
ment. 1t will always secure party har-
mony and will ever be q strong incen-
tive to Democratic success
