A FUTILE ATTEMPT

Redneld Press: 1t is worse than
futile for the Pierre papers to try to
smooth over the character of a cap
ital campaign run by Pierre when
she Won the capital by a small ma
jority. Pierre as a city and Hughes
county are both involved in a bond
ed Indebtedness from which they can
never free themselves. Although
Pierre has readjusted some of her
bonds on a basis Of fifty cents on the
dollar, yet no man who knows the
situation but, il he held n of those
bonds which has already been repu-
dated o%ne-half, would make another
large discount for cash. The Woon-
socket capital company fake brought
a large vote and what did the suck
erS get out of it. Deeds of lots were
used of which not ten per cent eve
mad the taxes paid by those who re-
ceived the lots. Money i'm Spink
county was openly used at the polls.
1t was not the unbiased judgment
of the people that ever put the cap
ital at Pierre.

AN IMAGINARY WRONG

Pierpont Signal: Pierre papers
have struck n chord and for the
past six weeks have harped inces-
sanity on that one string. Somebody
has imagined that somebody had
said something at some time about
the land west OF Pierre, and afore-
said papers are doing their best to
air this imaginary saying far and
wide, and talking about the harm
this imaginary statement has done
the state. Nobody has said any
thing detrimental to the western
half Of the state, and ever if they
did all the newspaper talk in South
Dakota wouldn't change the lands,
condition, climate. or soil west of
the Missouri river. For Heavens
sake change the key for one week at
least.

AS HE VIEWED MITCHELL

a few weeks ago Fl. F. Roethe, ed
itor Of the Fennimore. Wis, Times
paid a visit to South Dakota and in
cluded Mitchell in his route through
the state. He published a very in
teresting account Of his trip in his
paper on his return home and the
following complimentary reference
to Mitchell is very much appreci-
ated:
1t was in the evening, just as the
long South Dakota twilight was
turned into darkness, that the train
pulled into Mitchell. AS we walked
down the broad Main street Of South

its citizens. we a to marvel at
the strong sentiment that appears to
prevail in the state to change the To-
cation of the capital from Pierre to
Mitchell, a sentiment so strong that
the state legislature vas forced to
submit the question to the vote of
the people at the coming general
election. The capital question will
soon over shadow the national issues
in South Dakota this fall. "Mitch-
ell or Pierce" is the issue and both
sides are plugging hard. Mitchell
seems confident of success. The To-
cation of the state capital there
would indeed give the thriving,
hustling little city an impetus of en-
traordinary proportions. We be-
came a Mitchell enthusiast on the
spot, and there are few who visit the
place that do not. Yankton is a
large and older city and also a fine
town. but Mitchell we liked better.
The band was playing on the street

city and Monday the paper started
in on volume twenty-five. We are of
age and we are proud OF the fact.
Twenty-one years in the life of a
western daily paper does not mean
that its pathway has been strewn
with roses, but it means that it has
seen some periods that were plecari-
GUS. The ups and downs in the
earlier years of Dakota did not
presage a very long life for a daily
paper venture hut The Republican
has held its own practically at all
times and it has grown and devel-
oped with the splendid growth of
Mitchell. In all these years The
Republican has sought to build up
Mitchell in every possible way and
that its efforts have been appreciated
is shown by the excellent advertis-
ing patronage it has always received
and the growth OF its circulation,
which at the present time is crowd
ing the thousand mark pretty closely
and that means there are mighty few
homes in the city where the daily
does not 90.
The management desires to extend
its sincere thanks to the people and
the business men of Mitchell for the
very liberal support which has been
rendered it on legitimate lines.

PlERRe's STAND PAT RECORD

Chancellor News: Pierre "stood
pat'' fourteen years ago on a ''bob-
tail flusb''-the d. p. & b. H., r.
r. fake-and won the pot. She
"stood pat' for years and MIXED
the national treasury for a $40, 900
appropriation for the ''ice harbor''
to moor the wreck of a pontoon
bridge in which the ice waXed thick
enough to drive cattle and horses
across. She "'stood pat" and got
Sl00, 900 for a ''federal building''
where the builders could cook their
meals with buffalo chips. Possibly
With a handful of fraudulent land
filings "stand pat" is The best-and
only-way to play it. Any bluff is
good until it is called-but sometimes
the buffer goes up against a lot of
green farmers who don't know any
way to end except a show down.
Then the "stand pat" loses.

The Pierre papers want to make it
appear that il the capital is removed
to Mitchell that the sta tie is throw

capital to Mitchell the state will
not be the loser in the least. When
the capital comes to Mitchell the
state will be put into possession Of
the city hall for a capitol building and
it will belong to the state to all in
tents and purposes just as the build
ing that is now occupied. There
will be no charge for rent, every foot
of space in the building will be ao-
solutely for the states use, and it is
not losing any money whatever by
the change. Then when the state is
ready to build a permanent capitol
building there are is acres of ground
ready to be used which will not cost
the state a dollar. Pierre's PROPOSE
tion is more than met by Mitchell,
in that a building and site are abso-
lutelv free but the capital is placed
where the people can reach it with
in a short time. Pierres attitude

The democrats of South Dakota
will have to hunt up a new candi-
date for attorney general, owing to
the resignation of Olaf Eden, of
Brookings, who has just written to
Chairman Martin declining the hon
or. MIR. Eden gives as his reasons
for withdrawing from the ticket that
he could not stand for the nominal
ton of a man of the Cleveland stripe
and when the Democrats at st.
Louis named Judge Parker it was
more than MIR. Eden could stand.
In two campaigns he worked for
Bryan and the west, but when democ-
racy lined up with the p~lutocrats OF
the east and Wall street, Mr.. Eden
considered he was out of the party.
In his letter he expressed the opin-

The strike settlement does not
seem to reach any where near a con
clusion, M how long it will last
time only can tell. President Don
nelly, of the union for butchers, does
not seem to grasp the right end Of
the situation, and while he is talk
ing about arbitration now he ought
to have got that force to work before
the strike was called OF. There is
no reason why the people of the
country should be put to such incon-
venience and unnecessary expense Of
having a strike of this character on
when the men can keep at their work
and have the situation arbitrated,
then if they fail to agree the strik-
ers can do what they desire about
leaving their work.

NEW YORK PAPERS DID II

Since the democratic convention
it has often been wondered what
brought forth the famous telegram
of Judge Parker to the convention
insisting on his attitude on The
money question. W. w. Jermane,
the Washington correspondent of the
Minneapolis Journal, in a letter to
that paper gives what is claimed to
be the true historyof the Parker tel
egIam, and it is reproduced as fol-
lows:
Judge Parker was nominated at 6
o'clock on the Saturday morning of
the convention. The platform had
been adopted Friday evening at the
beginning of the famous a ll,night
session. Parker knew at breakfast
Saturday morning just what the sit
uatiOn was, and yet he did nothing
until after the arrival at Esopus of
the morning New York papers. The
World served editorial notice that
morning that judge Parker could
not hope. to carry New York on the
platform adopted. The Times, the
Sun and the Herald talked in the
same vein. At nee Judge Par er
was face to face with a zeal situa-
tion. His silence up to this hour
showed that he had no particular
fault to find with what had been
done. But without the support Of
the newspapers referred to, he could
not hope to carry New York, and
without New York he could not be
elected. So he went for a horse
back ride, to think 1T over. Upon
his return he found August Belmont
on the phone from st. Louis. Bel
mont advised a telegram to the con-
vention, Parker did some more
thinking, and finally the telegram
was sent. 1t was a direct concession
to the New York newspapers, whose
support he knew he must have.
1t is pretty plain now why iu was
was that the judge found it neces-
sary for him to declare himself on
the money question after the plat
from was absolutely silent about it.
Some particular characteristics are
being out with reference to the
democratic candidates. attitude on
various questions as time rolls by.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT CHANGING

Canton Leader: Hon. A. j. Kuhns
of Lynn township was at the conven-
tion last Saturday and speaking tol
the capital question. lie said that
nearly every one in Lynn township
was for Mitchell. because they con-
sidered Mitchell the proper place for
the seat of government. Nh. Kuhns
says he can not understand why any
man in Lincoln county can favor
Pierre, and Mr.. Kuhns is an ex-mem-
Der of the legislature and knows that
Pierre is an unfit place for the cap
ital. 1t is too far away from the
people and none ever 20 there unless
compelled to do so by urgent bust
ness. There are a nun her of people
IN Lincoln county, rs there are in
most counties. who w lots in
Pierre which We're given them for
WORK CT otherwise in the 1890 cam
paign, but we believe we are correct
in the assertion that every outside
owner of outside lots at Pierre
would be money ahead by giving
those lots away to any one Who would
take them off their hands. Public
sentiment is changing all over the
state rapidly in favor of Mitchell. a
town that everybody a reach in
daylight and with comfort and ease.

in the campaign at present indicates
a weakness that is spreading over
the state, They are not attempting
to argue the situation but are con-
tinually working on the sympathy
racket. while still saying that re-
mvoal is a business proposition. On
that point there is no ground on
which Pierre can stand and make a
fight. Their appeal to prejudice and
for sympathy is amusing.

Mr.. Graham's removal from the city is

action relative to endorsing an alder.

tonight. At the last meeting OF
the club the campaign committee
was appointed to confer with
committee from the Good Gov
eminent club looking to placing ar

should be endorsed by the two clubs Or
request of he campaign committee, the
subject of the proposed aldermanic ticket
was postponed until the next meeting.
Last Tuesday night the COMMITTEES from
the republican and the Good Government
clubs met and, 1t is reported. practically
agreed upon full aldermanic ticket. Fol
some reason, however, the committee was
not prepared to make its report, so the
matter was deferred until the next meet
ing.
The club tonight was addressed by sew
eral local speakers, and the meeting was
an interesting one. 1t was decided to hold
big republican rally next Friday night
October a. at Wylam. A number of lead
ing republican orators will be present and
elaborate arrangements will be made fol
the rally.
