Wages in many cases has gone up fully hundred per cent. in Chicago, while the cost of living has increased about fifteen to twenty per cent. The action of the labor unions, however,
 in forcing the price of labor up to an abnormal figure has resulted in a stagnation in the building line, and the city will be indeed fortunate if it gets through the winter without con- siderable distress among the working men as a result of their being unable to get constant employment. The moneyed interests of the city refuse to make any investments in the construc-

CLIPPED FROM EXCHANGES.

The writer has always believed tina
sooner or later Huron would become
the capital of the state. lie Delie'es
now that it should be. but realizes al
ter many years of effort and many oe-
feats that such is now Impossible. ~
has been a fond dream of his, and no"
that IL is broken forever, he is utterly
crushed, and but for the fact that ne
has always devoted every effort I'M
selishly to the accomplishment OF
this dream the present
would be unOearable.
That Mitchell has a big fight on
hand to wrest the capital from Pierre
is now just dawning upon them.
Pierre realized this during the contest
for resubmission, and was united IN
creating Mitchell sentiment as against
Huron, on the theory that Pierre
could defeat Mitchell in a vote before
the people, but as against Huron its
case would be hopeless. The attempt
to makei it appear that the coalition
between Mitchell, Redield and Huron
extends to the time when the people
shall cast their votes upon this prop
osition, is absurd. The agreement
has been carried out.-John Longstatf
in Huronite.
The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1903-01-23

1t is a great mistake to presume
that we r going to have a capital
campaign in which the capital of the
state will be located upon its merits.
There are other considerations that
will cut some figure in the result.
There is a great deal Of talk for
Pierre at Sioux Falls where n would
naturally expect to e the people
anxious to have the capital located
close at hand, and the reason Of it is
that Sioux Falls wants no nearby
town encouraged to grow and flourish
to that extent. Aberdeen on the
other hand talks Mitchell pretty
strong because Mitchell is far enough
away not to interfere, and so it goes,
all along the line, personal consider
atiOns determining the attitude Of
the different towns. The general i'm
preston seems to be that Pierre will
be very strong in the fight, upon the
consideration that the town is remote
from the interference in the growth
OF other towns.-Madison Outlook.

Truly as the Huronite says, "Mit-
chell has a big fight on her hands,"
and In the struggle she will stand
alone-with her former friends-Hu-
ron and Redfield-pitted against her.
This capital fight has just begun.
The position of the forces fls been
