Already the tide of home-seek-
ers has set in Dakotaward, and
hardly a train enters the state
that does not bear from one to a
score of persons who are seeking
new locations in which to con-
tinue the battle of life looking
to the building up of home and
a competency to support them III
their advanced years. 1t is fa-e
that at the present time no por-
ton of the country has brighter
promise for the future than the
broad prairies and fertile fields of
South Dakota. Experience has
taught the farmers of this state
that diversified farming must be
followed if ultimate success is to
be attained, and those who have
not already done SO are rapidly
falling into line with their ne1gh-
Dor who has followed this plan
and as result has accumulated
enough of the worlds riches so
that he is money loaner instead
of a borrower. South Dakota
will heartily welcome all the
workers, who are ready to put
their shoulders to the wheel and
aid in making this one of the
grandest states in the Union, but
it has no use for the drone, nor
for the shiftless class which are
always burden upon the COM
munity wherein they stop.

Reports from Pierre are to the
effect that Lee and Goodykoontz
have had a falling out with Pet
tigrew and that the governor has
wired the senator too keep his
hands off the senatorial fight.
This may be only a sharp move
to gain friends for Goodykoontz,
who is now ahead of Kyle.

The Turner County Herald is one Of
the neatest papers geographically that
comes to our exchange table. Not
only in it's mechanical appearance, but
in the variety and quality Of it's matter
there is indication OF care and pains
taking on the part of its publisher.
The above item from the
Brookings Registeris is truly appre-
ciated, and we trust the Herald
will continue to merit the good
opinion of those who are coupe
tent to Judge in such matters.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D G., Feb. -, 1897.
Sensations billed in advance
seldom materialize. Consequently
there was little surprise when
Representative Murray, of S. c.,
announced few hours in advance
of the meeting in joint conven-
ton of the house and senate to
count the electoral vote that he
had changed his mind about OBJ
jecting to the counting of the
vote of his state, on the ground
that it had no constitutional re-
publican form of government.
Mr.. Murray, who is a colored
man, didn't change his mind. He
was simply squelched by the re-
publican leaders, who realized, if
Murray did not, the danger of
monkeying with such a proceed
ing as the counting of the cleo
toral vote. They knew that
Senator Tillman was not making
an idle threat when he said that
if the vote Of SOUTH Carolina was
not counted Mckinley would not
be inaugurated on March 4, but
Secretary Oluey would under the
law of succession become presi-
dent. All thai he would have
needed to make the threat reali-
/ ty would have been a majority of
the senate. Although the gall
,leries were crowded to their full
ca pacity, nothing occurred DUR
ing the forty or fifty minutes
needed to count and announce the
result of the voting in the cleo
toral college to pay the visitors
for the trouble they had gone to
to get tickets admitting them. 1t
was, like the proceedings in the
supreme court, highly important
but extremely dull and tiresome
to outsiders. Well, anyway, it is
all done now, except the swearing
in of Mckinley and Hobart,
which will inaugurate the hurrah
program of March 4.
Nothing could give a better
idea of the difficulty of attempt
ing to say what any particular
duty will be in the new tariff bill
than the action of the ways and
means committee on steel rails.
Last week the committee decided,
informally of coarse, that the
rate on steel rails should be cut
to 81 a ton, AS soon as the action
|
was published the rail-nakers,
especially those in the west, be-
gan to bring pressure on the COM
mittee against the change. This
week the committre voted to let
the duty on rails remain as it is,
S7.S4 a ton. Somebody, in fact
many somebodies, is interested in
every article touched by the tariff,
and you can never know just
| what sort of a tariff law you will
get by studying the committees
work on the original bill. This
was proven by the present tariff
law and the Mckinley law, both
of which were radically changed
after they had been reported from
the house committee.
1t may become necessary for
Maj. Mckinley to speak if he

No Money Needed.

The editor of the ST. Johns (Kan.)
News says that it takes money to run
newspaper, which causes Bro. White
of the Emporia Gazette to take issue
and expiate as follows:
"What an eXaggeration! What "a
whopper. 1t has been disproved a
thousand times: it is clean case of
airy fancy. 1t doesn't take money to
run a newspaper. 1t can run without
money. 1t is not business venture.
1t is charitable institution. a begging
concern, a highway robber. A news
paper is child of the air, a creature
on, when any other concern would be
in the hands of a receiver and wound
up with cobwebs in the windows.
''It takes wind to run a newspaper:
it takes gall to run newspaper. Ii
takes a scintillating, acrobatic imagin-
alton, and a half dozen shirts, and a
railroad pass to run newspaper. But
money-heavens to Betsey and seven
! hands round who eyer needed money
in running a newspaper! Kind words
are the medium of exchange that do
| the business for the editor-kind words
and church social tickets. When you
see an editor with money. watch him.
| He'll be paying his debts and disgrace
| ing his profession. Never give money
to an editor. Make him trade it out
He likes to swap.
"Then when you die after having
! stood around for years and sneered at
1 the editor and his little jim crow pa
| per, be sure and have your wife send
in for three extra copies by one of
/ your weeping children, and when she
has read the generous and tuching no.
| tice about you, forewarn her to neglect
] 10 send fifteen cents to the editor. 1t
/ would overwhelm him. Money is a
corrupting thing. The editor knows
it and what he wants is your heartfelt
/ thanks. Then he can thank his print
ers and they can thank their grocers
/ Take your job work to the job offices
/ and then come and ask for half rates
/ and church notices. Get your lodge
1 letter heads and stationery printed out
oil town and then food the editor with
1 beautiful thoughts in resolutions Of re-
spect and cards of thanks. They make
such spicy reading, and When you pick
| it up filed with these vivid and glow
| ing articles, you are SO tired of your
little local paper.
But money.-scoln the filthy stuff!
Don't let the pure, innocent editor
know anything about it. Keep that
1 for sordid trades-people who charge
/ for their wares. The editor gives his
away. The Lord loyeth a cheerful
/ giver. He'll take care of the editor.
/ Don't worry about the editor. He has
charter from the state to act as a
door-mat for the community. He will
get out the paper somehow: and stand
up for the town and whoop it up for
you when you run for office. Don't
| worry aboat the editor-hell get on.
The Lord knows how-but somehow!

bill to pass the house, as several
republicans i'll the house are en-
gagged in working UP opposition,
Oh the ground that the bill IS a
snare set for the incoming presi-
dent by Senator Chandler and
others who opposed his nomina-
ton and who do not wish his ad-
ministration to be d success. The
plainest taller among the oppon-
ents of the bill is Representative
Hill, of Conn.,, a republican and
a believer in the gold standard,
and Representative Brewster, of
N. Y, who shares his views is a
close second.
The amended Immigration bill,
having passed both branches OF
congress, has now gone to the
president. Before the bill was
amended so as to allow the illit-
crate wives and minor children of
immigrants who complied with
| the law to come in, it was semi
officially stated to be the intention
| of the president to veto the bill,
but it is now said that the amend
ments have removed his objections
and that he will sign it. Still its
opponents have not given up
hope of a veto.
A reco, d was made by congress
this week in passing bills over
the presidents veto. The house
passed two, both pension bills in
favor of widows of soldiers who
had married again and lost their
second husbands by death, and
the senate passed the bill, which
! is now a law, relating to the
holding of court in the Eastern
Texas district.
Senatorial dignity has had an
/ other throw-doWn, and it was a
hard one. After voting down by
an overwhelming majority the
motto to discuss the arbitration
treaty in open session. and taking
extra precautions to keep the pro-
ceedlngs secret, those senators
who consider themselves the
especial custodians of the dignity
/ of that body were Disguised to
read each day Just AS full reports
in the newspapers Of the secret
sessions as were printed of the
open sessions. They fretted and
scolded the employees, only to be
bluntly told by Senator Hill, who
made the motion to consider the
treaty in open session, and other
senators that as all the world knew
they ought to know themselves
that it was the members of the
senate, and not the employees, who
gave out the proceedings of the
executive sessions. Although
several extended executive sessions
have been given to a discussion
of the treaty, no perceptible prog
ress has been made towards it's
disposal. Numerous amendments.
in addition to those made in com
nmittee have been offered and
some of the senators have flatly
stated their opposition to the
treaty amended or unamended.
