Gen. Miles in his congratula-
tions sent to Judge Parker says:
AT time when a material crisis
is pending, when democratic insti-
sutions are in peril, when great
evils should be eradicated, when
important political questions must
be decided, it is fortunate the dem
ocratic party has given the country
a candidate for president in whom
the great council of representative
men have great confidence"
What great nightmare is Grand
ma Miles experiencing now? What
great material crisis is pending ?
Is it the danger that we shall not
be able to take care of the magniti-
cent crops growing in the North
west? What democratic institution
is in peril? Is it the political pres
tige of Gen. Miles? What great
evils should be eradicated that
president can control? Has Mr..
Miles been in consultation with
another disgruntled Filipino who
has been stuhing him with some
more stories about sthe cruelty of
the U. S. soldiers in the Philip
pines Or did he visit the wicked
Pike while he was in St. Louis :?
AS for the political questions that
must be decided: every one famil-
lar with the personal feelings of re-
sentiment and envy felt by Mr..
Miles toward Pres. Roosevelt will
recognize that his greatest political
desire is the defeat of the Presi-
dent.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1904-07-21

The editor of the Springfield
Times thinks he has discovered a
cross in the wires of the Mitchell
supporters. He says that they
first claim that the lands in the
western part of the state will never
develop, because they are of such
nature that development is i'm
possible. Then they take new
tack and say that the state can
lave the use of their town hall un-
til it has developed sufficiently so
that the state capital lands are val
liable enough to payOfor the erec-
tion of building, which will be
within a few years. AS the state
capital lands are all west of the
river it is not easy to fit their two
statements together.
The only trouble with this argu-
ment is that Bro. Glasner's eyes
were little crossed when he look
ed up the location of the state cap
ital lands. A reference to the re.
port of the commissioner of school
and public lands, will show that
there are 81, ,949 acres of land set
apart for Public Buildings. Oh
this amount 5,545 acres are locat.
ed in the Black Hills counties
Butte, Fall River, Meade and Pen.
nington, all prosperous counties
There are 6,4O3 acres located ir
counties east of the Missouri river
--Edmunds, Faulk, Hand, Hyde
Mcpherson, Potter and Sully-
while not a single acre of the lane
is located in the unorganized coun
ties west of the Missouri river
The lands are |all in agriculture
or mining counties, which viii
eventually develop and become vel
populated. Until he has stated
the facts correctly the Times shoul,
not accuse others of "misrepre
senting.'
