A SCORCHING REPLY.

Rev. f. j. Tresidder, editor of
the Veblen Advocate, to the editor
of the Britton Sentinel. He wanders
back to his early Dakota days, TWEEN
ty 1.-two years back, and tells a glow
ing tale:
Twenty two years is a long time
to breath the bracing Dakota air,and
not be benefited by it, Brother.
Why, half that time ought to make
you so big-hearted and broad minded
that you would not willingly kick a
country you have never visited. How
can you Judge a land you have never
set your eyes upon? You are surely
misled by Mitchell's campaign liter
ature, whichif it affects many men as
it seemingly has you, will seriously
damage the state.
when | came to Dakota three
years ago, | was told in Illinois that
the people of Dakota yer a half
savage race, being mostly half
breed Indians and uneducated ignor-
ant farmers. Was that true? Ger
tainly not. Dakota is a No. | state,
and her citizens the best on our con-
tinent. Do not believe all you hear,
brother. See for yourself.
"You say you are not givin 6
the west half of the state a black
eye. No, not in a straight hit; but
worse still, you are walking up
behind with a pot of paint and max
half the face black.
"Wage a fair fight, man. Say that
Mitchell wants the capital, and
wants it bad, and will stoop to any.
thing to win. Say that it will
enhance Mitchell's city lots, and
make her citizens rich-that no mat,
ter how much it costs the average
Dakotan, in extra taxes ETC., she
wants it.
I'VE give you credit, brother. fol

Mitchell needs a good water works
system. Under the pretense of get

But now instead Of expanding the
the money for water works, as voted

spent the amount in their state

They believed the earth to be a square

each of the our corners. All Of their
cities were quartered by four principal
streets running from a square In the

prayed to the four winds. or to 'ye

from four enormous heavenly turtles

Is IT FAIR TO PIERRE.

The issue is really the City Of
Mitchell against the State of South
Dakota. The capital was located at
Pierre, not by Pierre, but by a major
ity of the voters of the state. 1t
is a state institution located by the
state. And yet the business men of
Pierre are required to pay the
expenses Of the campaign to protect
the states property and to retain the
where the people have placed
permanently. Is that fair to
Pierre? We think not. DeSmet

MILWAUKEE TACTICS.

The report is being industriouly
circulated by Mitchell knockers that
unless Madison supports Mitchell
for the capital the Milwaukee com
pany will take away its division
from this city etc. This is the same
old gag that has been sprung on
Madison citizens before and is
mighty poor capital argument. We
doubt very much if the company has
authorized such a threat. Even
Harry Hunter would not be guilty
of such an iniudicious announce
ment.
If, however, this rumor is true it
will result in loosing to Mitchell the
majority Of the votes she now has.
No individual or committee likes to
be dictated to, on any subject, much
less as to how he shall cast his bal
lot, which he holds as his own indi-
yidual right and privilege. When
a corporation undertakes to hold a

IOWA

An Aberdeen business man who
has just returned from a trip to
Iowa met thirty Iowans ON the train
a fter it left Hawarden, all of whom
were bound for the country sixty
miles west of Pierre, where they
have located claims and will
farm. Some Of these Iowans have
already built up homes in that Sec
ton and are prospecting, while the
others were induced to locate there
by favorable representations of their
fellow citizens who have proved the
land and found it good. This is
merely a straw showing that the
country west of the Missouri river
in being rapidly settled, despite the
lack of railroad ficilcties and the
Misrepresentation of Mitchell.
Where thirty Iowans from one Sec
ton of that state decide to make
their homes it is altogether probable
hundreds of other citizens of that
state, and many thousands alto
gether, from different states, will dis
cover the possibilities that exist west
of the river. -Abeedeen News.
