A Special Legislative Session.

asking him if he would consent to at
tend a special session of the Legislature
to appropriate $25,000 to bring the FRS,

Francisco, and receive for his mileage
and per diem only his actual expenses
Other members of the legislature from
this county presumably received simi

Planning to Bring the Boys Home

There was a convention Of prominent
citizens Of the state, at Huron the 10Th
for the purpose of formulating plan,
to bring the members Of the South
Dakota volunteers home from San Fran
cisco.
1T was the sense Of the gathering
that the expense of bringing the troops
home should he betrayed by individual
subscriptions or otherwise. A COM
mittee of sixteen on finance was named,
also reception committee to GO to San
Francisco This committee is composed
OF the governor. state officers, congress
men and senators, with one other per-
son from each city having company in
the regiment. Each committeeman is
TO bear his own expenses. The certif-
cate plan is likely to be adopted by the
finance committee in raising S25, 900, de-
pending upon reimbursement by the
state at the next sitting of the legisla
ture. Three thousand dollars will be
provided as hospital fund. The com
mittee on transportation is: +. A.
North, Of Watertown; Charles N. Her
rick, Of Eureka; Senator Pettigrew, OF
Sioux Falls; Congressman Gamble, OF
Yankton, and Alexander Fitzpatrick, oI
Washington.
There were about 800 delegates at the
convention and the gathering was har
monious in every respect. 1t is esti
mated that it will cost about S25, ,000.0t
for transportation. We think thu
amount can and should be raised b!
subscription. and petition be sent il
at the next meeting of the Legislature
to reimburse those who may subscrib
at this time. We do not approve til,
plan of calling an extra meeting Of tn
legislature for this purpose for the fol
lowing reasons. First, it would cost a
much to convene the legislature as tn
amount to be raised would foot ur
Second. it is doubtful if there be tim
for such meeting. The matter shoul'
be canyassed rapidly and what is don
should he done Immediately.

The t:n,I,nImrd beef.


The Armour letter announcing the pos
session of the exclusive right to use a
certain chemical formula for preserving re-
frigerated beef and the success of tests
as to its efficacy was endorsed by Eagan as
follows:
The tests made by Armour & Co. are not the
only tests that have been made. aud there is no
doubt whatever in my mind that the beef can be
furnished required
This endorsement was referred to Seere-
tary Alger Mr. Marshall retired packer,
had long before called attention TO the gen.
eral use OF chemicals to preserve the beef.
There were three witnesses VINO testified
to hearing Armour's agent explain spots on
the beef as due to the chemicals A Texas
contractor who offered TO supply fresh beef
to the Army in Cuba said that Eagan had
told him Swift & Co. lad a process for
preserving beef for seventy-two hours.
Other witnesses, one an expert, stated that
it was the custom to cover the beef with
an acid. DIR. Daily, in an analysis of re-
frigerated beef, found the acids, and his
analysis was verified by chemist in the
service of the Government. Besides all this
lND
men testified to the presence of an odor
such as that of an embalmed body and
which could only come from chemical treat
ment.
1t seems incredible that in the face of
such proofs. a Court of Enquiry should
find that General Miles charges as to the
use of chemicals in refrigerated beef were
not sustained. In refutajion there was
only negative testimony-the statement of
commissary officials that they had never OBJ
served anything wrong about the meat.
They said the same about the canned roast
beef, and, if their evidence is conclusive
about the one. it sheuld be about the other.
Yet. according TO the forecast of the report,
they were right about one and wrong about
the other. That chemicals for preserving
beef are sold TO packers is stated by
journal that is devoted 10 the interests of
chemists and druggists. The probabilities,
apart from the specific proofs. are all in
favor OF their use on the meat intended for
the Army.
II there is any such finding as 1t is al
legged the Court has agreed upon, General
Miles can hardly avoid calling for another

Congressional committee.

Avoid sectinnnIisnn.

Two or three Western papers are max
ing point of advising the fathers and
mothers of that section of the country to
educate their children in Western colleges
instead of sending them East. The ad-
vantages OF this plan are obvious, and
since the West has developed univers, ties
which give . broad and thorough training
there is no reason why the Western boy
should not go to these instead OF coming
to Harvard. Yale. OF Princeton. There
are, however, one or two reasons for edu-
eating young people at some distance from
their homes-reasons which are worthy of
attention. The first is that during the
school year they are less likely to be dis
tracted from work. When the student of
eighteen or twenty is able TO go home two
or three times during the term, il breaks
up the work OF the teacher; and it is
curious fact thai; in the case of the young
er students especially girls, those who
come from towns in the vicinity of the col
lege suffer most from Inconsistencies The
student who comes from distance de-
velops a seif-reliance. which is one of the
important elements OF true culture.
Another and more important reason for
the mingling of students from various
parts of the country is that it tends to de-
stroy sectional feeling. and this is a mat
ter which should not be neglected in a
country as huge as ours. When the Cal
ifornian and the Georgian, the man from
Illinois and the man from Maine are un ted
by the common ties OF four years of college
life, they are likely to be more or less in
fueneed by these friendships in after years.
and even If they never meet again, they
have learned, during the most impression
able period of life. to understand each
other. They have had some opportunity
10 study characters formed under tradi-
tions different from their own. During
college years the needs of growing human
nature often draw into close intimacy
characters most dissimilsr. Il is all the
more important. therefore, that such
friendships should give TO educated and
cultivated men more or less thorough
comprehension OF one another, SO that
in after years they may not be led to mis-
construe the actions and words of those
who live under alien surroundings. or
course, the college man often travels. II
he has the money and the time, but oftener
he does not. Moreover. there is oppor
tunity for comrsdeship in college which
cannot be found in the world outside.
The student comes prepared to take his
acquaintances on their merits, without
much regard to family or money. There

PRODUCTIONS; he must live among them for
some time before he can become thorough

other things to do besides form friend
ships; in college the average student
spends more thought on these than on his
studies. and even his work is colored by
his associations.
Sectionalism is one of the most danger
Gus evils which could befall this country.
The war between the North and the South
might have been ayerted if the people Of.
the two sections had understood one
another better. Each had its own traii-
tions. built up through manX generations;
the life of each was separate and distinct;
communication was difficult: it was almost
as if the two spoke different languages.
Many OF the most thoughtful and conserya-
tive men of the South had long favored
gradual emancipation of the slaves; and
if this e.uld have been done many OF the
evils arising from the sudden freeing of the
whole slave population might have bsen
averted. But the country was not united,
and clash was inevitable.
There is some danger that the East and
the West may be separated to certain
extent in traditions and customs, though
there is tie between them that did not
exist between the North and South in '61.
since the Western States have been se;t ed
largely by emigrants from New Eng.and

OF seotionalism should be crushed out
wherever it shows itself, if we are to avoid
