The closing hours Of the 57th con-
gress, were hot and stormy. The
democrats flfbustered in the house,
while the republicans adopted that
role in the senate. The cuban treaty,
and the canal treaty having failed
to pass, tho president has called an
extra session Of the senate, other leg
istation failed, notably the statehood
bill, and the Aldrich finance bill. The
former was advocated by the demo
Gratis and q goodly number of republi
can senators, who although constitut-
ing decided majority Of the senate,
under the rules of that body, could
never get to vote on the bill. The
congress was remarkable for the spirit
of intolerance, and Indifference to law
and precedents as shown by the dom.
inant party. Tie ruthless over riding
of the rights Of the minority was
shameful, sand should bring the tinge
of shame to honest, patriotic citizens,
no matter to which party they belong.
Surely power hath made the repub.
licans mad. The 58th congress will
also have republican majority il

OF the best men in the county, and
his record is open for inspection. He

satisfaction in that capacity. He is
firm believer in temperance and has
always been unceasing in his efforts

port relative to the circumstances

clerk, and two other persons to leave
that place. presumably on account OF
their co'or.
"One of the most interesting OF
the several communications introduc.
ed in the report Of the postmaster
general is that Of Postoffice Inspector
Fitzgerald. In this report he alleges
that the trouble is all traceable to
coterie Tof democrats and their
friends who are agitating the question
of "negro domination and ferment
ing strife and discord where peace and
good will have Ieigned uninterrupted
ly for years, and for the miserable
purpose, as he states it, of causing a
vacancy in the postoffice. Each of
these agitators is animated, he alleges,
with the hope that he or she will be
favored in the event the menace to
white civilization is removed. He
names A. B. Weeks, J. Richardson, J..
W. Brown, G. P. Adair, D. Fl. Green
and J. S. Montgomery as the pro-
motors sof this movement, each of
whom, he says, hopes to secure the
office.
Fitzerald alleges that the people,
while publicly deprecating the law
lessness of the case, privately, con-
nive at it. He advises the depart
ment, however, in supplementary
report to try and effect a peaceful
solution of the matter by accepting
the resignation of Minnie Cox and
closing the Indianola post office.

that President Mckinley closed an

people there refused to accept negro

closed for year. He also has a
faint recollection, he says, that
President Cleveland issued an order te
close postofiice in Missouri because
the postmaster. white man, was not
acceptable to the patrons Of the Office.
He regrets, he says, that he cannot
recall the name Of the town.

QUEER KIND OF POPULATION

A Washington special Of recent
date has the following concerning
land frauds that are existing on the
reservation west Of Pierre:
Department officials await with
considerable interest reports OF al
legged extensive land frauds in the
Pierre and Rapid City land districts
in South Dakota. Special agents
are now at work at Rapid City and
are investigating the alleged fraudu-
lent entries made at that place and
Pierre. 1t is stated by department
officials that the best information so
far obtainable is to the effect that
the South Dakota frauds are inspired
by cattle companies VINO are anxious
to acquire large areas for grazing
purposes. The scheme has been to
induce soldiers widows to make
homestead entries of land useu by
grazing companies, the applicant only
partially complying with the law.
In some instances a shack was
erected and wire fence put up, all
companies, while the women who filed
the entry made no attempt to comply
with the law as to residence.
Just how much land and how
many people are involved in these
frauds the government authorities
are unable to say.
Complaints have been received at
the department for some time and
finally the land commissioner detailed
a special agent to lock into the mat
ter. Since then an additional special
agent has been assigned for duty in
the South Dakota land districts Ad-
vices received at the department say
that it will take several weeks to
thoroughly complete the work. of in
ye%stigation.
For the past year the correspondent
at Pierre has been sending state
ments to the outside papers of the
wonderful increase in the population
On the reservation. This, it seems, |
is the way the population is going
to center around Pierre within the |
next few years. It is the aim of the
correspondent and papers of that
place to make it appear that the res
.ervation is being settled up fast, but
the report of the government officials
will doubtless show a different conf
dit!on, and that the great majority
OF the claims are being taken solely
for speculative purposes and will
eventually get into the hands of the
ranchers, who will hold the lands in
large tracts for grazing purposes.
Out OF the number who take claims
the reservation there will be some
who will remain. 1t is commonly
understood that efforts are being
made just to get people to file on the
land, and that it makes but little
difference if they stay there only long
enough to gain a residence in the
state.

IN any other. and the decision ap-

idea has lost much of it's novelty.
but a vast majority of the visitors at
the st. Louis exposition will be in
debted to South Dakota for their
first glimpse Of a corn palace. Those
who recall the sensation created by
the original corn palace at Sioux City
will be free in their predictions that
the South Dakota building at st,
Louis will loom up as one of the most
attractive of the state buildings.
The state will be well represented
by the corn palace at the St. Louis
exposition, but the Journal errs when
it says that cite idea has lost much
OF its novelty up here.'' Mitchell has
held four corn palaces in past years.
and there has never been a failure at
any time. The people have come to

venture has never failed of a 6nancia,
success. Mitchell will have a corn
palace again this year. and it is the
intention of the management to make
1t 'blgger and better than eyer.n At
St. Louis without doubt the corn
palace will be n of the most sought
after features on the ground, and
South Dakota will get advertising
that will be heard from for years
afterward.
