Soldiers Mt Home.

The good ship Sheridan arrived in
San Francisco Friday bearing the
South Dakota and Minnesota Vol
unteerS. There were 652 South Da-
kotans on board. About sixty OF
the South Dakota boys remained at
Manila, and nearly hundred OF
them came home some time ago on
sick leave. The volunteers will be
mustered out at San Francisco aud
brought home in body by the state
fund now being raised. There is
said to be quite Il little trouble
among the officers, and the regiment
nearly all seem to be down on Col.
Frost. They say he is a good fight
er, but has no other good qualities.
Col. Frost has caused the arrest of
Lieutenants Stover and Bates, and
Surgeon Warne, and two or three
Others for speaking Of him disre-
specifully in letters written no ne,
and which were published in home
papers. 1t will take some time to
prepare the mu ster out.

There is no limit Or restrictions up

how easily mans own feelings and
interests can affect his opinion A
man comes home sick, to a land he
loved and in which he was enjoying
good health. To him its grass is
greener, it's sky is clearer, flowers are
more beautiful, he is among frlenis
and familiar scenes, everything is so
different from the place he visited,
so much betterl How much OF this
is in his own feelings-seen through
his own eyes? Many people have
temporarily been in or visited South
Dakota, only to leave and carry
with them to other states such
weird tales OF desolation, such ideas
of barren wastes, and such impres:

look with astonishment today into

taken other localities 80 years and
more to accomplish. Can this South

remarks that Uncle Sam is always
getting the worst Of it-according to
that school of off-color patrio is who
were once termed copperheads, and
are now named "aunties." Every
battle on land or sea was to be
wrong for this country-until alter
Uncle licked the stufIing out OF the
other fellows. 1t is unnecessary to
90 into details, because they are now
history. But in the civil war, ac-
cording to these fault-fnders, each
move was wrong; SO in the Spanish
war. some disaster was always just
ahead OF Uncle Sam; and it is yet
the same in the Philippine war.
Out upon such Americanism. Uncle
Sam was equal to all the emergen-
cies and won grand victories. He

4 MANILA HERO.
RI. NJ. Breiner, South Dakota's
Only Member of Dewey's
Fleet Arrives Home.

Miller patriotic spirit was
awakened Thursday evening by the
arrival home of Henry NJ. Breiner,
the only known citizen of South Da-
kota who participated in one of the
greatest naval battles recorded in
history 1t was proper that he
should be met at the depot by a
number OF old friends headed bv q
martial band, and made welcome.
lie Is the same unassuming young
Henry as ever, notwithstanding the
fact that he has been nearly all over
the world, and has had experiences
that fall to the lot OF few men.
lie went out to the home of B. X.
Purkey, in Alpha township, adjoin-
ing whose farm he held down a gov
ernment claim in the early eighties.
On Saturday evening a reception

Breiner. Other Hand county soldier
boys were invited also to seats upon
the rostrum. They were Elmer
Templeman, Bert Clouse, Fred Park

Chicamaugua, and Gene Cottrell,
with Nebraska regiment at the
same place. Commissioner z. Ii.

and one half years, which he served,
and was discharged at Manila.
Henry's interesting description OF

etc, brings q sparkle to his eye, and

idly gather around him.
What makes him popular and ad

sentiments heeXpresses. Hesays he
is an American; the Philippines be-
long to us, because we sunk the
Spanish feet, and took them. The
President is all right; and her flag is
good enough for him. He thinks the
Philippines will bea grand acquisi-
tion for America, and that she has
honestly won them from Il de-
feated power.
How noble it for man, soldier,
to thus stand up and say "my coun-
try, ever and always-whatever the
sacrifice" And when man comes
home with such proud patriotism in
talk and action, is it any wonder his
fellow citizens pat him on the shoul.
der and say good boy, you're all
right, We like your nerve, your
bravery, your endurance, and your
patriotism"
What is war? Gen. Sherman said:
'War is hell" This remains undis-
puted. The ingenuity OF man,
the greatest power on earth,
can not make it other,
wise. 1t is hardship, suffering,
death. The man who bravely enters
it for his country, his flag, is pa
triot. And how the people admire
and respect the man who has cour-
ageously, patiently and determined
ly endured all these necess AIRY hard
ships without murmer, Tor love OF
his country, "the home OF the Tree
and land OF the brave!"

DreYfus Found "GuiIty."

The French Military Court again
decided that Dreyfus was guilty Of
reasonable actions, and he is sen
tentenced to ten wears imprisol-
ment, with "extenuating circum-
stances" 1t is said this means five
years of solitary confinement, whic h
he has about served, and that in a
few weeks he would be discharged.
1t is also said the president may
pardon him; This is a disappoint-
ment to the intelligent world, as
Dreyfus seemed to fairly establ ish
his innocence. But the whole cor
rupt French army influence wa s
against him, and the fact that he s
of Jewish descent also seemed to
turn the French against him. Drey-
fus is hero and has stood his un-
just punishment like O brave, inno-
cent man. The cowardly Judges
simply feared the ar my influence,
and refused to admit positive testi-
mony for Dreyfus, and what is worse
for poor, degenerate France, the mis-
guided rabble cheer the result. Any
honest, enlightened court would
have acquitted Dreyfus, who still
thinks that Justice will Yet be done
him.
