Congressman Gamble and Burke have

Congressman Gaa.ble and Burke have
not explained why they voted for the
Porto Rican tariff bill. Was it to estab-
lish a precedent for imperialism or was
it simply at the behest of the trusts
that they 90 voted? 1t is not possible
that their votes can be satisfactory to all
republicans ia South Dakota for we be.
lieve there are some upright republicans
in the etate who are opposed to impe-
rialism when they can see that imperial
ism is meant. OF course many have
been deluded thus far on that point.
Macy We believe are opposed to taxing
the Porto Rioans by a tariff or any other
way; but here 9 tariff is put on at the
instigation OF the trusts and for no other
purpose except the one first mentioned
imperialism. We believe some good
republicans are opposed to trusts and
for this reason are opposed to conduct
suoh as Messrs. Gamble and Burke were
guilty of ia voting for the Porto Rioan
tariff bill. We believe Messre. Gamble
and Burke lacked manhood TO vote for
the right simply because the party lash
was applied to them and therefore are
not lit to represent a free and iDdepend-
ent people like South Dskotans. Messrs.
Gamble and Burke may not know that
they have voted wrong but il 90 they are
Likewise not fit to represent South Da.

HOW WE GROW RICH.
Sale of School Lands an Index Of Lake
Oounty's Prosperity Remarkable In
crease in Valuss-Ths Lands Sold ,
and Prices Paid.

No better index OF the rapidly increas-
ing value OF Lake county real estate can
be found than the sale OF school lands
from year to year. It must be horne in
! mind, however, that the school lands
sold in the earlier years were naturally
the better in quality as only prime pieces
we're picked up in those years when land
vas cheaper aud more plenty. This Was
fully illustrated last week in the Gales OF
lands in Kingsbury and BrookinRs coun-
ties where the lands in the former sold
at an average this year OF $15.47 per
acre, while in the latter the average
price was Sl4.73 per acre. It is generally
conceded that Brookings is a better
county for farming purposes than Kings
bury and the state land commissioner
explained the anamoly on the ground
that IN former years the better grade Of
school lands IN Brookings had been sold
to a greater extent than in KinRsbury.
We must conclude that in general this

cold for $777.494, or an average OF $l7.56

unimproved lands. When these lands
were set apart by the constitution ten
years ago, at $40 per acre. they were con.
s'de.ed too dear for purchase, and OK.
cept in 1892 when q few cho,ce pieces
we're picked up, there was little or no
market for them until five years ago
when they began to sell for about Gil

been greater and the increase 10 value
steady though not great, selling two
years ago at about sl2 per acre, and last
year in much larger quantity than for.

But the last year the rue value Of Lake
county land has become known and the
demand for It is shown in the
large number of real estate transfers we
have published from week to week at
extravsgant prices compared with
former years. This general advance is
noted also in the sale of wild school
lands which we're in great demand th,s
year by the farmers adjacent to these
lands who now know the value of them

most Of them on keen competition with
their neiRhbore, forcing the average up
