A number Of South Dakota populist
newspapers have formed m association
called the reformed Press Associa-
ton" They cannot fool the people by
such pretentions to extraordinary per-
lection. The populist party has long
ceased to be : reform party. It has
been captured by hungry horde Of
unscrupulous Office seekers. They con-
trolled It at st. Louis and mortgaged it
10 the democrats for the hope Of d.
viding the spoils Of ONCE. That mortg-
age will never be redeemed. In our
own state look at the gang Of leaders it
has had: Loucks Of scandinavian

The appointment Of Frank w. Palmer
of Chicago to be public printer, has
been criticised as contrary to Pres.
McKinley's announced policy not to
appoint to prominent positions the same
men who held them under Pres. Harri-
son, except under extraordinary cir
cumstances. This case seems TO be a
fair exception. Mr.. Palmer's unex-
celled and very exceptional record as
public printer, with the unusual en-
dorsement he has received from promi-
nent republicans, including EXPIRES.
Harrison himself, seem to justify the
appointment a. in every w1v commend
able.

SOUTH pAxorA.s OPPORTUNITY.

The new secretary Of agriculture,
Hon. Mr.. Wilson, Is reported to have
arranged to distribute sugar beet seeds
to every county In the United Safes,
with the intention Of securing reports
of the possibility Of our country pro-
ducing its own sugar, and In order to
get capitalists to invest in beet sugar
plants and refineries here. This an
nouncement from the new secretary is
commendable and should meet with
prompt encouragement Of the citizens
gen orally. In this subject South Da-
kota farmers should feel special inter-
est. It has already been determined
that our state can grow sugar beets to
almost perfection. This fact has long
since been proven by Prof. Shepherd,
chemist and at present director Of the
South Dakota Experiment Station.
In 1892 Prof. Shepherd had farmers in
nearly every county in the state plant
and care for sugar beets under his
direction. In the following fall and
winter 100 samples were returned to
him from as many different localities,
each of which was analysed, the report
showing that q samples produced un-
der IL per cent. sugar; Is showed be-
tween IL and Is per cent; Is between
ID and IA per cent: "a between IA and
Is per cent; % between IS and Is per
cent; Ii between Is and II per cent; 10
between II and Is per cent; between
IL and IS per cent, while one sample
showed over 20 per cent Of sugar.
Considering the number Of experiments
and the confessedly bad care given the
trial plats, 1t Is evident, says Prof.
Shepherd, that nearly every portion OF
the state Is capable OF raising beets,
we'll adapted to sugar manufacture.
An inspection Of the yield in tons per
acre showed . profitable yield. The
trial concluded four years experiments
from the beginning, and the results
we're so satisfactory that further ex-
perimentation along that line was con-
sidered unnecessary at that time, but
this fact is no reason why South d.
kota farmers should not cooperate
heartily with Secretary Wilson in his
attempts to get official Information in
his own channels at this time. Doubt
less the results of his efforts will be
tabulated and published, ard If South
Dakota and her sister on the north can
show most successful results in sugar
beet raising in an Official report from
the secretary OF agriculture. thes
figures will stand there inviting capital
from all over the world within our
borders.
The time Is coming and coming soon
when the United States will be far
from satisfied with paying out over
sl25. 0OO, 900 annually for sugar, when
every item of labor and expense of
growing and manufacturing can be
prof tably kept at home. When capital
is once thoroughly aroused to the i'm
portance Of this subject the Dakotas
should be Ia . position to reap their
full bene fits. Dakota Farmer.

presented an American flag TO st.

the first stars and stripes to wave over

of H. NJ. Clark. the late cashier. An &C
count of his findings says:
las to Clark's shortage. he found that
he had overdrawn his account some $4,000
and had made the entries after the close
of each days business, and had changed
the footings on the books correspondingly,
and in that he had violated the law and
laid himself liable to criminal prosecu-
ton. This feature was reported to the de-
partment and the probabilities are that
Mr.. Clark will be hunted up, brought back
and prosecuted. AS to the shortage in the
building association, that is matter to
be settled between that organization and
Clark's bondsmen. in which the bank has
no liability whatever.
