Editor b. G. Sessions, of the Sioux
Falls Forum, and who is well known all
over the state as a prominent A. o. U.
w. official, publishes the following in
his paper concerning the situation in
Manila as it has to do with the South
Dakota regiment:
The zeal of Gov. Lee and the Sioux
Falls Press in Fastening the return OF
the volunteers from Manila would be
most commendable if actua,ed solely by
disinterested and patriotic motives.
The boys we're anxious to go to Manila.
They were anxious to fight. They
have all got their fill OF fighting and
would like to return home as soon as
they can be spared. They have been
in Manila since the 22d day OF June,
awaiting their turn to be transported
home, and will be here in due time.
That Aguinaldo has prolonged the
fighting much longer than anticipated
is no doubt disappointing to the presi-
dent, the war department and to the
boys at the front. That it has been
necessary to send more troops than first
anticipated is also disappointing. That
it was necessary for them to get there
before the others could be safely with
drawn was exasperating to the depart.
ment as well As to the volunteers at
Manila. That the brave volunteers
have been patient under all these trying
circumstances adds another laurel to
their GROWN. The glory 80 nobly won
should not now be tarnished or dimmed
by polit1cians. In war the more hard
ships, the more fighting, the more
glory. The boys have had all three in
sufficient quantity to make them indeed
heroes. l have two sons in Manila.
One fares the same az . private. He
has not been sick day. he has been
in so veral fights and so far has escaped
the bullets of Filipinos aud has enjoyed
good health. He has endured hard
ships. In recent letters received the
intelligence 10 conveyed that he has
about made up his mind to re-enlist for
another two years. Nothing in either
Of the boys letters about letter of
thanks to Gov. Lee. In one of the
letters is expressed the wish that Lees
letter will not injure the reputation of
the regiment 30 we'll earned. Another
letter contains the information that all
the officers and men would prefer to
come home as soon as they could be
spared without embarrassing the ad-
ministration. This is the true history
OF the situation at Manila as reflected in
half dozen letters just received.

Marietta Bones, the Yankton sage
has again come before the public in a
the course OF Com mmandant Linn in the

tells what an old soldier has to say
about it. There seems 10 be many con-
fiicting opinions about this soldiers
home management.

William c. Whitney says it is all a
mistake about his going to see Admi-
raj Dewey for the purpose Of securin g
his consent to become a democratic
presendential candidate. Dewey is not
much OF democrat with his expansion
ideas and his favorable position on the
financial question. And he was
quoted with saying at Trieste that he
wanted to see Mckinley reelected.
That's enough to discourage the de-
mocracy even if Dewey had any dem
ocratic tendencies.

OF the democrats who is suggested as
being excellent material to head the

There are two reasons why Mr.. Ram

man and another il tha. he has mover
been impressed favorably with fusion

Ramsey's nomination because he is said
to be preparing himself for that honor.

At dinner time the train would stop and
the officers would line US up at the side
of the car and march us up to the bag
gage car where we would get our hard
tack, beans, coffee and canned beef. BY
the time we were through dinner the
other sections would catch up with us,
and we would then drill for about fifteen
minutes for exercise. Then we went
back to the cars and stayed until the
train pulled out. AS we went on through
California We could see orchards of pears
and such fruit already to pick. 1t lie
winter in California now but the wealth
er is as warm as it is in summer. The
heavy foes keep things wet and some
mornings the fog is so thick that we
cannot see fifty feet away.
We arrived here on Friday, October
9th, just s days and Z nights on the
road The tents were already for us
and we moved into them Immediately.
There are IL tents and 9 men in each
tent. We hardly have room to sleep
for they are all full of holes. The 46th
Regiment is csmped on our left and the
regulars at the barracks in front of us,
while on the right is the cavalry. One
drill ground is on the side of hill
which looks like mountain. We have
to drill six hours day. The barracks
where the regulars are camped is the
most beautiful place soldier could get.
The sidewalks are all lined with beds OF
flowers in bloom and the walks are grsv-
eled and kept clean. They are not al
lowed to pick the flowers. They have
fountains surrounded by flowers and
they have formed cubstone with can
non balls. The Colonel said the
3Sth Regiment was one of the finest
he had ever seen mustered into the
United States service. The men are all
big and healthy and about the same
height. Roy MCGUIRE.

No recent magazine papers have at
tracted so much att, nlion, afforded SO
much entertainment, and created such
lively and widespread discussion, as
Rollin Lynde Hartt's Atlantic essays,
"The Montanians" and "a New England
Hill Town" In his new article, "The,
Ohiosns," in the November Atlantic, Mr.
Hartt carries his characteristic method
into new and prolific and widely in
teresting field; and his pictures Of the
Buckeye State, and of the Buckeyes" at
home and abroad, will be eagerly read
ana enjoyed, even by those who recog-
nize themselves as the subjects of his
good-natured satire and his keen and
amusing Characterization. Mr.. Hartt's
methods Of observation are not super
fetal, and his treatment, while distinctly
facetious, is not fippant; but he has the
unique faculty of seeing the salient
points of q community, and presenting
their humorous side in manner that is
not merely amusing, but also covers a
serious purpose, and keen and thought
full analysis of the situation. "The
Ohioans" shows . distinct advance in
power over Mr.. Hartt's former papers,
and is OF universal interest, apart from
its humorous treatment.-for whatever
concerns the great presidential State
concerns and interests the whole country.
