Senator Bate.

Washington, D. c., May g.
Senator Bate today had a very salts
tory interview with the officials in
the quartermaster's office, war de-
partment, relative to the payment
of claims from Tennessee for horses,
saddles and brides which were
taken by the federal troops from
Confederate soldiers in violation of
the terms of surrender. 1t will be
remembered that an act was passed
by Senator Bate February 81, 1902,
providing for the payment of these
claims. Senator Bate also caused
to be inserted in the deficiency act
just passed provision for an addi-
tional 1925, 900 to be paid for this
purpose, and he has been urging
the war department to speedily adj
Just the claims.
81 was informed at the war de-
partment to-day" said Senator
Bate, "that three hundred cases
have been acted upon and payment
will be made as soon as possible.
The remainder of the pending claims
will be settled as soon as they are
found to be Just and legal. The de-
partment has paid out 500, 900 on
this account, and nearly all of it
has gone to claimants in the State
of Tennessee. / secured an amend
ment to the law which will allow
two more years for the filing of
these claims, and / think all
entitled to consideration can be
heard. Claimants from Kentucky
and South Carolina are just fling
their applications"
Speaking of Shiloh battlefield,
for which the sundry civil bill car
ried an appropriation of $50, 900,
increased from $50, 900, Senator
Bate said:
81 am happy to say that the in
crease was made to give a fine mill
tary park on this battlefield, and
SO, 600 of this appropriation was
given for the purpose of getting a
lake below the spring of Shiloh.
The first Confederate monument
in Shiloh Park will be erected in
August in honor of the second
Tennessee Bates regiment. 1t
will be built by funds subscribed
privately by the SURVIVORS,"

Tennessee tomorrow night or We'd

Erroneous Assessment.

The following is a copy of a cir
cular letter, issued by D. w. Nc
Annuity, Chairman of the County
Court, addressed to the Justices of
the Peace of Hardeman County,
which explains itself.
cat the April Term of Quar- terly
Court, we were in error in levying
a County Tax of So cents. The
State allows lis to levy any amount
not exceeding 80 cents. We levied
for School Purposes 25 cents and
County Purposes 35 eents-the lat
ter in error.
sin order to rectify this and au-
thorize the Clerk to make out Tax
Books, | submit for your consider
alton this Circular Letter, staring
amount that you will vote for at
July Term, when the former action
of the Court will be reconsidered.
This will save the calling of an ex-
ira session of the Court"

The eyes of all interested in the
Senatorial contest are now turned
toward Shelby County, where a
primary will be held on May II,
the result of which will cut a con.
siderable figure in the race, as Shell
by has several votes in the legisla-
ture. The Commercial Appeal
claims to be neutral in the matter,
the Scimitar independent, the
Morning News espousing the cause
of Senator Bate. The friends of
both %aspirants have opened head
quarters and spell binders will shell
the woods with oratory. Here's
hoping that the boys for Bate will
win the battle.

If the suggestion of the sub
committee on arrangements for the
National Democratic Convention,
to be held in St. Louis, July 9th, is
accepted, a telephone will be placed
In each state delegation, connecting
with a telephone on the main plat
form. Good, SO far as it goes; but,
if we r o mistaken, there will
come a time in that convention
when the sound of a telephone bell
will be equally as inaudible to the
a of the most attentive listener as
the fall of a snow flake on water.

proof vaults for all the state rec
ords and the supreme court library.
The use of this magnificent build
ing is donated to the state free of
charge until the people feel able to
erect a state house of their owl.
If Pierre is successful in retaining
the capital it promises its citizens
for their contributions a 81, 1000, 600
capitol building at once.
There's where the expense comes
in.
Not only Will the tax payers be
spared any expense in removing the
capital but the leSsened expense in
arising from having the capital in
all accessible location and convenient
to the great majority Of the people
means an Immediate and permanent
saving to the state. The extra mill
cage expense Of the members of the
legislature is now 1925 50 more at
! each session than it would be we're
the capital at Mitchell, to which can
be added the extra mileage of every
state officer, attorney and private in
dividual who has business at the
state capital. Every person who
goes to Pierre must pass through
Wolsey and when they get to Wolsey
they are 50 miles closer to Mitchell
than to Pierre.
Can the farmers and business men
of South Dakota afford all this I'M
necessary expense for the sake of a
sentimental geographical center
idea and h%ypothecated e%eneralities
as to the future of the state west o.
Pierre which the history Of the
whole country west OF Pierre shows
to be visionary and unreasonable?
Pierre is making the specious ar
gument that the removal Of the cap
ital will mean an expense to the
state lessening the value OF the en-
dowment lands west of the Missouri.
while the retention of the capital at
its present inaccessible location viii
tend to build up that part of the

state. The fallacy of this line of ar
gument is shown from the fact that
in the ten years Immediately follow
ing the location of the capital at
Pierre the city lost one-third of its
population and its county (Hughesl
showed a a proporuionate loss. In the
campaign which ended in Pirere's
success in 1890 it claimed that 200, 900
new settlers would make their homes
west Of 1T in the next two years. 1t
required ten years for Stanley coun-
ty, which is as large as ten ordinary
counties in the eastern part of the
state, to add 3l4 tc its population
Indians and all.
1t required no capital building to
develop the Black Hills. 1t required
no state house within its borders to
add $1,000 to the population Of Rob-
erts county, in the northeastern part
of the state, when the Sisseton res
ervation was thrown open 1t re-
quires no seat Of state government
TO draw the attention of 100. 900
people to the Rosebud lands. 1t re-
quires no costly capitol building to
put two hundred pounds of flesh on
a two-year-old steer during the sum-
mer months nor to make a thorough
bred out of a scrub.
If the millions OF unoccupied acres
west Of Pierre adapted to the uses Of
general agriculture and is fit for that
purpose as the state east of the Mis-
souri, and that part Of it just west Of
it in the southern part, ''all the
Kings men, can not retard its de-
velopment. If it isn't a dozen state
capitals can not help it.
Thirteen years has not only dem
%ons.rated that the geographical
center SENTIMENT is costing the
state and the general public thous-
ands Of dollars annually, but more
than that, those who are paying he
bulk of the taxes are the most in
convenienced.
The total amount of state taxes eX-
tended by the state auditor for 1902
was 1856. 3l5. II. OF this amount the
counties east of the Missouri river
pay all tut so, 900.
