1t is very evident from the activity
of Senator Kyle of late that he does
not propose to be ignored in the
matter of South Dakota patronage.
He persistently opposes Nye Phil
lips, the choice of Senator Gamble
and Congressman Burke, for post
master at Sioux Falls and favors
Editor Day, of the Argus Leader, for
the position. 1t is limited that he is
joined in his support of Day by Con
gresham Martin. If so, this greatly
complexities the situation. He has
also filed a protest at the Interior
Department against the appointment
of Harry Chamberlain as Indian
Agent at Crow Creek who is favored
by the balance of the South Dakota
delegation.
The establishment of North and
South Dakota as an internal revenue
district has aroused lively contests
between the delegations from the
two states for the appointment of
collector and location of headquar-
tiers; and between the South Dakota
members over the appointment of
collector. Senator Kyle favors c. b.
Collins of Groton for the position
and Senator Gamble backs Herman
Alderman Of Yankton, Unless the
senators from this state get together.
it is possible that Aberdeen will be
selected as headquarters and North
Dakota given the dictatorship. In
the meantime Kyle continues making
himself solid with Brown county by
showering all kinds of good things
on Aberdeen. His latest was tc
secure the promise of $4,000 from
Andrew Carnegie for the establish.
ment of a public library provided
the city donates a building site
and appropriates $500 per year fol
its support.

The Sisseton Courant emphatically
denies the presence of small pox in
that city, but admits that there have
BEEN OF late a number of cases of
"buckwheat itch or some other old
thing" Well, it is to be hoped the
Courant diagnosis is correct, but in
these times of small pox danger, any
one is justified in avoiding cases of
"buckwheat itch or some other old
thing" bearing a resemblance to the
dreaded disease. And, by the way,
speaking in general principles, a
newspaper is woefully lacking in its
mission and does justice neither to
itself nor humanity if it suppresses
or denies, when it is so, the fact that
there IS small pox or any other con-
tagious disease prevailing in its
home town or community.

A correspondent of The Chicago
Inter Ocean makes a strong plea for
the promotion of Major Frost, in
which he eulogizes the work OF the
gallant First South Dakota Regiment.
After citing the joint resolution OF
the legislature of South Dakota mem
orializing the general government to
appoint Major Frost to the grade of
Bricadier General on the retired
list, he says:
1t is the impression of many who
followed the campaign that because
of its discipline and the known readi-
ness CT its leader the South Dakota
regiment really had more than its
fair share of the work of the cam
paign. That it did hard fighting its
record of losses shows. At Calumpit,
where it had the heaviest losses OF
any organization engaged, its leader
was not mentioned in a dispatch, al
though those of other organizations
who played minor parts of the en-
gagement we're.
Colonel Frost is the only surviving
colonel of the three who commanded
McArthur's second brigade in the
advance on Malolos, and he is left il
broken health.
Colonel Frost thoroughly under.
stood the native method of fighting
and, as General Otis t~elegraphed the
"onslaughts of his regiment never
were withstood." At Maraloa, where
Colonel Frost led a brilliant charge
on Aguinaldo's picked troops, driv.
ing them before him like chat, ht
was especially mentioned in Genera.
