Representative De Almond OF MIS-
souri, thinks our country should grow
on it's own continent instead of reach
ing out for possessions in distant seas
and on other shores. He suggests the
honorable acquisition from Great Brit
ain of Canada, and it's admission into
the union on an equality with the 9TH
err states. Mr.. De Almond is one OF the
most conservative members of the house
minority. The principle underlying
his suggestion is a good one. furth-
ermore. it is better not to grow at all
than to grow too rapidly or by quos-
tionable means. Steady, healthy
growth in character and home develop
ment is more desirable in the long run
than the feverish grasping after dis
tant possessions and world power. That
is but the evidence of the foolish prlde
which, in countries as in individuals

How much the recognition by the
world of genius and real merit depends
upon the trivialties of chance is again
illustrated in the case of Joseph Henry
Shorthouse. His novel, John lngle-
SAINT" historical romance of great
and enduring popularity, was rejected
by more than one firm of noted pub
fishers and gained little notice until
Mr.. Gladstone was photographed with
copy under his arm. 1t seems that
to become famous, one must not only
do something worthy of public appre-
citation but must be clever enough to
entrap public attention. The general
public is too busy, too much engrossed
in its own affairs, to go hunting for
genius.

The naval appropriation bill passed
last week carries the largest appropria-
ton ever made for our navy and lays
out the most colossal shipbulldlng pro-
gram that Congress has ever put INTO
one measure. The German emperor's
fervor for powerful navy is evidently
contagious and Washington has caught
it. A strong navy is urged by the naval
advisory board under Admiral Dewey
the naval committee of the house
worked for it, and President Roosevelt
and Secretary Moody both favor IT,
More thoughtful attention to wise and
peace ensuring. treaties, however, and
less pomp and exuberance over army
and navy, would be better in keeping
with the principles of our government
and the aims of the great body OF our

EiIinns.

For the year ending June go, 1857
homestead filings we're made in the
Pierre land office. and for the same
year 1898 filings were made in the
Chamberlain office. No figures are at
hand for the business of the Rapid
City Office for that time. but with the
record of filings for several months for
a basis. $1,000 would not be an ex-
cessiye estimate as to the filings at
that Office, making nearly 1000 quarter
sections taken in the three districts
for the year Just closed. This means,
with school sections eliminated, that
an area of practically thirty townships
number would mean a settler 0 every
quarter section of thirty townships II
they were all located together. Even
with the immense territory open to
settlement west of the river, that rate
would Z Q make a decided impress
sion. Many Of these people are maxi
ing the first venture at crop raising in
that section of the state this year, with
GOOD prospects up to the present date.
With average weather they a feel
certain Of q good return for their ef-
forts. and Unless they fail, the fact that
crops can be raised west OF the river
means that the settlement of that part
of the state will be more than doubled
before the end Of June next year.
