appearance

When tho South Dakota Grand Army
boys march in the streets of Buffalo
during the national encampment tbey
will attract no little attention from the
arms which they will carry on that oc-
casion. II consists of spear sur
mounted with IN ear of corn and min
iature sheaf Of wheat and q small
streamer with "South Dakota" printed
on 1t to 'show where we come from. .
This idea originated with Capt j. q.
Ranser, of Aberdeen, who last year
made 500 of them and presented them
TO the state department. They were
carried in the procession at ST. Paul
and there was nothing which 90 At
tracted and hello the attention OF the
people as did this spear. While there
il nothing particularly handsome about
the spear, Jet when an immense num-
ber are put together in a parade they
attract q great deal of attention. 1t
can safely be counted upon that South
Dakota will be a we'll ad vertised state at
the national encampment. ~

THERE'S PLENTY OF FRUIT.

Wholesale fruit merchants declare

says the Aberdeen News. The Califor.
mia crop is represented to be bumper.
while the prospects are that central
and southern apple growers will have
produce to burn. Small fruits were
never 30 cheap in this reigon ~ during
the season just closed, and if dealer,
have the correct idea, other varieties Of
fruit are going to sell as cheapiy.
Pears have sold from the beginning
for rs and IS cents per dozen, the lower
price generally ruling, where as q few
years ago they opened 1T so and 60
cents per dozen. Watermelons are al.
ready down to 25 cents, and the season
has hardly opened. Apples will be
within the reach OF every body, and
stocks, according TO present ind dications,
are going to be fine and wholesome.
Dakota people are large consumers OF
fruit, and the present low prices and
the prospect for continuation
though hard on the growers, is
very acceptable. The innate selfish
ness of mankind concerns fruit as we'll
a. al other products.

The state fair grounds at Yankton are
delightfully."- situated about half mile
from the Milwaukee depot, protected
by beautiful groves and surrounded by
thirty market gardens and we'll kept
stock farms. A dozen artesian wells
spout almost within sight of the fair
grounds and taken altogether it is an

The buildings are new, tasty and COM

venient speed barns aDd more than
three hundred exhibition stalls for

tremendous in number and gorgeous in

That South Dakota escaped a calam-
ity when it decided not 10 accept the
dspensary plan in regard to the saloon
business is plainly evident by the fol-
lowing article from Leslie's Weekly,
touching upon the evils of the system
in South Carolina:
1t was the boast of Gov. Tillman and
his fellow populists that when they
wen. TO the extremity OF things and
placed South Carolina in the whisky
business, their example would become
shining mark for all other common
wealths to contemplate and emulate.
The crazy plan of dispenssries has had
several years OF trial, and instead of
being shining mark, it is such a
deplorable exhibition of official cor
ruption and public depravity that even
the men who fastened it upon the state
are turning away their heads in shame.
The system as is we'll known, takes in
hand absolutely the entire liquor traffic
OF the state, even going so far as to try
70 shut out, in defiance of interstate
commerce, wines or liquors in original
psckages-it failed in this most
lsmentably-and turning over the pro
fits 10 the state. Now it is Uncovered
that OF the ninety official dispensers
OF the state not one has q bond worth
the paper it 10 written on, and 30 far
one-third OF them are short in their
accounts al the way from $50 to 81, 700
each. and not one cent of the money
can be recovered. When the other
two-thirds find out the legal immunity
the total will probably be increased.
As an example of the innate depravity
OF the traffic when combined with the
depravity OF politics, this exhibit is
surely interesting. And the delicious
part Of it all is that the populists called
this system South Carolina's Great
Moral Institution"

The annual catalogue Of the state
university at Vermillion shows an in
crease in attendance over that of late
years, is embellished with some new
Photographic views, and reports grad
ual additions to the instructional eouip.
ments. High school pupils are offered
a more liberal acceptance of studies
pursued by them but not required at
the university, and can more con-
veniently enter the Frenchman class.
The return OF the former director of
music has resulted in a revival OF the
old-time interest and patronage in his
department, which includes vocal Gull
ture, chorus, piano, organ, violin and
theoretical studies. The art depart
ment, on private found alton, has
fitted up it's studio with cass and other
appliances, and has had better enroll
ment than was anticipated. The fac
ulty and students have borne nearly all
the expense of making a large athletic
park, with wheeling and pedestrian
track, Dali diamond, tennis courts and
the like. The lawns have been much
enlarged and lately adorned with
towering shrubs and newly set hedges.
The campus, already fairly we'll
shaded, has been set with many new
trees and vines. The management in
vites careful inquiry into the advan-
tages OF the university. the moral, So

Annual Report of ". c. t. U.

The ". c. T. U. of Mitchell has held
nineteen regular meetings during the
past year, with an average attendance
of seven.
Three entertainments have been
given for the benefit of the union: one,
a campaign sociable, another an elocu-
tionary recital by Miss Harker's class.
and the third a stereopticon lecture by
Mr.. Van of Howard
The union was represented by the
president, Mrs. Robinson, at the state
convention at Sioux Falls, and also at
the district convention at Bridgewater
Twice the ministers Of the town were
requested to observe special W. C. T..
U. days, viz, Peace Sunday, Dec. 2Oth,
and Sabbath Observance day, April
11th.
Twelve Union Signals we're taken,
an increase of nine over previous years,
and sixteen White Ribbon Journals,
an increase Of twelve over last year.
The Uuion Signal has been subscribed
TO for the ministers of the town, the
union hoping that thus indirectly some
good work might be done for the tenn
persnce cause.
For several months during the year
the library was kept open on Wedpes-
day and Saturday afternoons, the differ
ent members of the union acting a.
librarian.
The sreasurer's report shows the
total receipts of the year to have been

will feel it their privilege as well as
their duty to put forth their efforts in

The slight importance which at
taches to the attacks of foreign nations
upon our proposed new tariff is shown
by au analysis of statement in this
line recently made by mem Der OF the
Pan American com mittee which is now
visiting in this country in which he
committed the bad taste of attackin q
the proposed tariff of the country in
which he is travelling as guest. His
statement. it appears, was as inac-
curate as it was injudicious, tariff ex-
perts al Washington having taken
occasion to show that in his remarks
regarding our Own tariff as we'll as that
of his own country he was grossly in
accurate and Misleading The gen.
tlemen in question, Mr.. Charles Lix
Klett, who is spoken OF as an editor and
an expert in woods aud hides.'' in
discussing the new tariff says that
we are proposing for the first time
to put tariff on Argentine woods,
while in point of fact all woods have
paid duty upon entrance into the
United States under republican tariffs.
An examination OF the present tariff
of his own country also shows that his
statement as to the treatment accorded
our products by that tariff were grossly
Inaccurate. thus rendering his entire
statement valueless. His statement
regarding the balance of trade between
the two countries are also shown by the
official figures to diverge widely from
the facts

The case OF the railroads against the
state commission was heard at Sioux
Falls this week, the commission being
defended by three attorneys and each
OF the railroads being we'll represented
by a fine array OF legal talent. The
point at issue is explained by the
Argus-Leader:
While Judge Carland's decision in
the railroad case at first blush appears
to be defeat for the new law and the
people Of South Dakota in their con.
test for fair railroad rates it ia not so
in fact. The decision merely enforces
q few weeks delay. 1t did not in any
manner affect the legality OF the law
or the power OF the commissioners. It
merely prevented the commissioners
from going outside of the law and neg
lecting It's plain provisions.
The decision in brief is that the com
missioners failed to proceed legally at
their June meetings and it instructs
them to begin over again and follow
the statute, While every delay is un-
fortunate, this one is in no sense q de-
feat for the people. The commission
had proceeded upon incorrect ad vice
and was not really beaten in prelim
mary skirmish. That it will win next
time is not open to doubt. The new
railroad law was most carefully framed,
1t comprises the results of the best
thought and the best experience of
older states which have brought their
corporations under control, it was
passed by unanimous vote of the legis
lature, every feature of it has been
tested thoroughly in the courts, and it
will unquestionably be sustained when
the final struggle comes in South Da-
kota. Il win bring to the people re-
lief from great extortion which has
been practiced on them for many years.
1t will permit them to compete with
the workers of other states. 1t will
build up this commonwealth as it has
built up Iowa. 1t will no more prove
a hardship to the railroads than has
the Iowa law and it will vastly increase
their traffic by enlarging the popula-
tion and wealth of this state.
