Frightful Lack of Consistency.

Milbank Review: Among all Of
the capital campaign literature
which has appeared, the article cop
led this week from the Mitchell Re-
publican exposing the utter inconsis-
tency of John Longstaff, editor Of
the Hurnite, and aver and forever
n Of the most ardent advocates OF
the capital removal until his home
town lost in legislative caucus is
one OF the keenest bits of satire and
caustic criticism which the Review
has observed. Mr.. Longstatf is a
bright and genial gentleman, person
ally, and a good editorial writer, but
IN the Eatter Of capital removal dis
cussion he has betrayed a ftightful
lack of consistency, and, in the opin-
ion of many persons, an exceedingly
poor exhibition of Judgment. What
ever he may now have to say in ad-
vocacy OF Pierre, or of opposition to
Mjtcnell. will be largely discounted
by reason of his keen disappointment
over the failure of his home town to
be chosen by the legislative calicus
as tt the choice of a removal COM
bine, which in a fair and free for-all

Those Pierre fellows are a mad lot
of people and no mistake. This is
evidenced right along by their set
ting up Mitchell straw men and then
knocking them down for a spectacu
lar performance. Unable to contro-
vert the honest and plain arguments
of Mitchell they have commenced to
resort to prepare absurd statements
with which they charge Mitchell as
making and then it is their great
p~leasure..to show how false they are.
Pierre is Handicapped by trying to
run its own campaign and that of
Mitchell's also. When they get a
bunch Of people out there for one of
their Sunday eXcursions-a day which
ought to be observed in quiet aud
rest, but which is violated by rum
ing open saloons and gambling houses
Jack Lockhart has IA long string of
Stuff to tell, which he charges up as
Mitchell's campaign, but which is a
lcng way from the truth. He tells
them that Mitchell Says that coun-
try west of Pierre is absolutely worth
nothing only for coyotes and cow
boys, Mitchell has upheld the res
ervation country solely as a grazing
section of the state, and has never
said a word d%erogatory of it as "a
grazing country. But for agricul.
tural pursuits there isn't a man in
the state but what knows that agri-
cultural products can not be success
fully raised in that section. and
there is no use trying TO make it ap-
pear so The sympathies of the peo-
pie are worked up to the boiling point
as Col. Lockhart tells how Mitchell
is "slanderine" section of South
Dakota. In its corr palace litera-
ture sent broadcast all over the coun-
try Mitchell has ALWAYS referred to
the reservation as the greatest graz
ing country in the United States,
and until within the past year
Pierre has done the same thing.
The Missouri river town had to make
it appear that the reservation had
the agricultural resources to support
an immense population to counterfeit
Mitchell's center Of population ar
gument which was making sad in
roads on P%ierre's support.

Knnsaroo and Buffalo.

A curious contest between a kanga-
roo and q buffalo took place in a large
geological park in the north of Eng
land. The two animals. after breaking
loose from their Enclosure, met face to
face in IN open space in the park.
Without any preliminary quarrel, the
QUILL made a furious onslaught on the
kangaroo, which at first contented it
self with an endeavor to avoid the
charge.
After a few moments. however, the
bulls attentions became altogether too
personal 10 pass %unrebuked, and. using
Its hoofs as battering rams, the kan
CARGO belab0red the buffalo in the most
effective manner. Roaring and be-
lowing, the irate buffalo made repeated
attempts to gore lis antagonist 10
death, but with scant success. the kan
CARGO proving Il most slippery foe.
The fray waNetl furious for oyer an
hour, at tile end of which time the
buffalo retired, not before. however,
It's carcass bore Unmistakable signs
pf the kangaroo's attentions.

Fi5 h.lJdaLL CAPITAL
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1904.

Pierre is e%ndeavoring to impress
the public that this capital removal
is strictly a Mitchell move. Not so,
by any means. The state legislature
is responsible for placing the queS-
tion again before the people of the
state. Redtieid and Huron had as
much to do with bringing capital
removal to a climax as any town,
and when the legislature adopted
the resolution they named Mitchell
as the place to be pitted against
Pierre. The Gland sharks and the
"plundering pirates are now work
ing legitimately to carry out the
wishes of the leo members of the
legislature. The work Of the legis-
lature we are quite sure will be en-
dorsed by the people of the state at
the election.

Boys Severely Reprimanded.

Justice Mckinley had a couple Of
lads up before him Wednesday even
ing and the reprimand that he ad-
mlnistered ought to be the means Of
lettering their conduct. Their
names are Withheld on this occasion.
In the evening a gentleman and two
young ladies we're passing along the
street and these two lads cast some
slurring remarks as they passed.
The escort went back and gave the
boys a trouncine and while it was 60
ing on Policeman Slater run them in,
the escort, however, being liberated
on the circumstances being ex-
planned. There were a crowd of
ABOUT thirty boys followed the two
under arrest and Justice Mckinley
improved the opportunity to give
them a little information along the
same line. A great number of these
boys have been in the habit this
summer Of loating on the street cor
ners and making slurrlng and insult
ing remarks at young girls and it
has become outrageous in the ex-
IRENE. The justice informed them
all that they would get the extent of
the law if any of them were ever
brought before him, and the police
men are going to make it a burden for
the boys until the learn better man
ners.

IMMENSE BRIDGE Is STARTED

Boston, Oct. Sizing Leopold of Bel
GUM. was assaulted for his policy as

gess.

ton. Morrell charged that the king was
personally responsible in large meas
ure for the cruelties practiced on the ma
tives of the Congo Free State by the ter
rife endeavors of monopolistic CONNER
cial organizations TO obtain from tbs
country all the ivory and rubber posi-
bic.
The king was defended by George Her
bert Head, of Cambridge. England, VIII,
submitted that King Leopold had done
all possible to stop the cruelties prac-
ticed.

port Of the committee ON propaganda
