Great Britain'S Deficit.

For the first time i'll many years, Great Bri-
tain's expenditures are exceeding her receipts.
Her public debt is growing. There is very
large deficit.
1t costs great deal of money to keep up the
royal family, and it costs many millions OF
dollars yearly to maintain the army and navy.
The expenses are growing larger every year
Officers are increasing i'll number. The army
is growing. Many new warships are being
added to the navy.
What will Great Britain do about? The pow
that be say they will not cut down the army
or navy, and it is rot proposed to cut down
any uf the useless Offices The expenses must
continue 10 increase and the deficit will grow
larger each year unless something is done to
produce more money What is proposed?
Well it is proposed to re-enact the old corn
laws and TO increase the tax burdens of the
common people.
And we are following in Great Britans foot
steps. We are increasing our army We are
increasing the number of offices, many OF which
are sinecures. We are headed toward imperial
ism. Our public expenses are growing rapidly
each year we Will be Obliged to pay lncreas-
ed taxes to keep up these offices and the large
army that the imperialists and expansionists are
demanding. AS the corporations are bigger
than the government, and refuse to pay their
share of taxes now, it will be useless to count
on any help from them, so it will be necessary
fol the common people" to 60 down in their
pockets to keep up the imperialist policy of the
government. How do you like it, Mr. Tax
payer.

Bryan'S Texas Tour.

DALLAS, TEX, March Io.-Colonel William
Jennings Bryan completed his lecture tour in
Texas at Dallas to-day. He addressed a pack
ed opera house in the afternoon and spoke to
about 500 aboring men at their hall tonight.
His lecture was in opposition to territorial ex-
pansion, which he said would be checked by
the American people lowering the stars and
stripes in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine
islands.
He arraigned trusts and syndicates, holding
that while the government could tear the hus-
band from his wife, and son from his mother and
sisters and force them to face the dangers of
war, 1t was powerless, under Republican ad-.
minstration, to strangle the trusts.
His tour in Texas was in the nature of an
ovation, at Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, Dallas
and all along the lines of railroads. Colonel
Bryan leaves for Lincoln, Neb., tonight.

A FINE PERFORMANCE.

The Darktown Brigade of Mixed Minis
trels Entertain n Large Audience.
The G.. A. r. hall was filled TO its
fullest capacity on Monday night to
listen to the very excellent program
rendered by company Of mixed
minstrels composed of local talent.
The novelty Of seeing ladies 10 the
role Of darkies was irresistible and
proved drawing card, as it Is some
thing entirely new in the line of local
performances. After the hall had
been filled to the doors every available
place for peekhole was employed
upon the outside by those who were
minus a ticket and by some who pre-
ferred the standing room and cooler
atmosphere TO the hot and sitting
interior
The only real fault that could be
found with the program was that it
was toe long. Perhaps this was all
the more noticeable on account of the
absence Of fresh air and the close,
confining precincts of small hall.
The company as whole did we'll

Wealthy South Dakota.

South Dakota has become one of
the leading wealth producers Of the
Union, and produces more wealth in
proportion to population than any
other state. This statement may sur
prise many readers, but it is a cold
fact as shown by government figures
and other reliable sources of informa.
tion. The principal reason for this
IS the immense diversity of her sources
OF income or wealth production.
South Dakota 10 now third in the
production Of gold of all the states
She is also third in the production OF
wheat, first In the production Of fax,
fifth in barley, oats and rye, about
eighth 10 wool and tenth In liye stock.
She is also high up among the top
states in the production Of dairy pro-
ducts, and is liberal producer of al
most all known minerals and coal, and
even natural gas In many localities. -

An Admir.bl. Suggestion.

George Schlosser has devised plan
by which the South Dakota regiment
can be mustered out at home and at
the same time the boys can receive
the extra allowance which they would
get by a muster out In San Francisco.
He would have them brought home
and given a three months furlough
under pay. The extra pay would
amount to practically the same thing
as the extra travel allowance granted
them at the coast. 1t is a good plan.
We all want the boys to come home
In body. We want the opportunity
to greet them as regiment, to show
them how we glory In their heroism,
to give tangible evidence that while
they have been risking their lives and
limbs In defense of the nations dag,
while they have been undergoing the
terrible hardships not only of battle
but Of weather, we have with anxious
hearts and the deepest solicitude been
watching them and have expanded
with the deepest pride at their gal
lantry and patriotism. We want an
opportunity to give them such re-
ception that they will know how loyal
are the people Of the state and how
they honor their brave regiment.
This cannot be adequately done Ii the
boys are mustered out In San Fran
cisco and come home singly. To
properly testify to our feelings we
must welcome them as a regiment.
Mr.. Schlosser's plan appears to be
entirely feasible. Is would cost the
government little more, but the
government can well afford to spend
a little money to give the boys and
their friends this honor. We under
stand that the congressman have
taken this matter up and that they
will push 1t at Washington. Itshould
certainly succeed. South Dakota
wishes to give the greatest celebration
ever known in the Northwest, TO
gather at some one place and give q
dem onstration Of the fullness of tho
hearts Of all the people over the re-
turn OF the boys who have done 50
much to add glory to the name of the
state and to lift the stars and stripes
In the orient. We believe that the
war department will listen to the pro-
posal. Argus Leader.

CAPT. HARRY HEcEMAN.
Promoted and Commissioned Captaia In

Promoted and COMMISSIONS Captaia In
the Thirty-sixth.
A dispatch from Washington says
that the president has confirmed and
commissioned the officers recon-
msnded by Gen. Otis for the Thirty
sixth and Thirty seventh volunteer
regiments now being organized in the
Philippines. -.
Among the list of names we notice
that Of Captain Harry A. Hegeman
of this city, who has been commits
stoned as captain 10 the Thirty-sixth
as recommended by Gen. Otis. This
indicates that Capt. Hegsman intends
to remain In the service, and as only
two persons seem TO have been selected
from each regiment now in service In
the Philippines, the promotion is all
the more pleasing TO Capt. Hegeman's S
many friends here.
Lieut.. j. Q. A. Braden, of Aber-
deem, has been promoted to the posi-
tion Of major Of the same regiment.
Major Braden is well known In this
section OF country, having In early
days resided south Of this city and is
brother-in-law OF OFT Belding, who
was once a resident here.
