The Country West of Pierre.

1t is popular with some to believe,
or pretend to believe, that the coun-
try in the vicinity of Pierre aud west
of the Missouri river is valueless for
anything but grazing, and this idea
is being promulgated by the Mitchell
committee with desperation born
of despair To those who know
nothing of that country, except by
hearsay, and especially to such in
this locality, the following interview
with e. A. Morrison by the editor Of
the Cannistota Clipper will be of
great interest. Mr.. Morrison lived
in this city for nearly twenty years
and he proved himself to be man
upon whose word our people always
relied:
"E. A. Morrison came in on
the passenger from the north Satur-
day for few days visit with his
brother six miles east of town. Mr..
Morrison and this writer are old
acquaintances, dating back to the
time when he was miller at De Smet
and we were running a grain eleva-
tor at lroquois. He is man whose
word can be relied on; when he says
thing is so, it is so. Mr.. Morrison
owns big ranch so miles west Of
Pierre, on which he keeps 5000
sheep, 100 cattle and so horses.
Knowing him to be a man whose
word could be relied upon, we quizzed
him regarding the country west of
Pierre. Mr.. Morrison says all this
talk about there being an insuffici-
ency OF rainfall is all bosh, says that
last year he had no difficulty what
ever in securing forage for his large
number of live stock. He also says
that he has corn and oats just as
good as any to be found in this viein
ity. Mr.. Morrison is not rank
Pierre supporter; it is to his interest
to retard settlement west of the Mis-
souri,, the same as it is of all the
ranchmen. They have been doing
it for years, but according TO Mr..
Morrison the tide Of immigration is
moving westward and will soon en-
croach upon his territory. 1T is
not" said Mr.. Morrison, claimed
that all the country west of Pierre
is farming country. That portion
of it lying west of the river from
Pierre is poor for 10 or Is miles ont
and then you commence to get into
the country that is good. Not 50
good perhaps as you have around
Cannistota, but crops can be success
fully grown, and are successfully
grown" Mr.. Morrison also disabus-
ed US of an opinion we were begin
ming to form regarding the vote in
the Black Hills. He says that prac-
tically the solid vote OF that country
will go for Pierre. Mr.. Morrison
knows whereof he speaks, for he vis-
its the Hills country quite frequent
iy."

on tariff. This will hardly be enough
for the western. democrat because he
knows that Parker, the nominee OF
the convention, is too near to Cleve
land and Hill, and these men are toe
near to Morgan and some more Of
the great trdst robbers of the
country for the safety of the people
So far as republican success in the
west is concerned the democratic con.
vention and platform could not have
been ordered better by the re-
publicans themselves.

Not long since we heard mar
complaining that the taxes bad in

we learned that that man was sup

was working out its own salvation
AS a result of the Mitchell capital

Just, however, if this extra taxation

was supposed the bills were all right,
SO they were passed. We be.
lieve such laws are disgrace to the
state and disgrace to the
legislature enacting them. 1t should
not be taken for granted that special
interests will prepare proper laws,
aud no legislature is excusable for
taking for granted and placing them
upon the statute books. We need a
little reform in the law making line

We read the democratic plank on
the trust issue and say it is gooc
lit could not be better. But how
many of our readers would expect
the democratic nominees to put
that policy in force, if per-
chance they should be elected
Parker is the nominee of the eastern
democracy, the trust element of the
party, and Davis is the presidest ol
one of the railroads owning and oper-
ating coal mines and forming a part
of the great coal trust. Who could
have the faith to believe that these
men, one the servant of, and the
other part of the trusts, would ever
enforce that high sounding demo
cratic trust planka By their action
at St. Louis the democratic leaders
have carried their party further
away from the interests of the people
than it ever was before.
