II comes with very i'll grace
from he editor Of the Free Press
10 continually abuse Mr.. Graw-
ford us in 'sins,,rgent, since IN
1886, Mr.. Crawford and his
friends had all they could do 10
prevent the Free Press going of
on the silver craze and landing in
the ranks Of the populisls. The
Free Press was then edited by its
present editor, and The paper
was held i'm line for Mckinley
and the republican state ticket
only by promises Of Il substantial
consideration. Daily Dakotall
On the other hand il comes
with III grace for the editor of the
Dakotan, who has been openly
and publicly accused Of boodling
by his brother-in-law, to make
any such accusations. 1t the
editor Ut the Dakotan had been
in Pierre at the time he refers to,
instead Of in Sphinx county, where
he was known to he always bitterly
opposed 10 the aspirations of
this city to retain the capital, he
might speak with more knowledge
Of the facts.
The Free Press, it is true, was
once committed to the free silver
fallacy, but ut the s'lmcstime.a lso
was Mr.. Crawford, and plenty of
other good republicans, in the
state and country, not even for
getting Vim. Mckinley. who was
our honorcd president. !,
The Free Press never had the
remotest idea Of sslanding in the.
ranks OF the populists.'' The
Dakotan right now is many times
nearer being tnti-repnblican than
the Free Press was or ever will
be under the present management.
The editor hereof has been con-
necled with the Free Press CON
tin,,ously growing on twenty
years and the files of the paper
will show that IL has never been
anything else but Il stalwart
republican paperof the s.lna
chime variety, if you please,
What rewar,l the publisher
/ received for his years Of faithful
l,n,lsal Of republican doctrines
and il should be remembered
that free silver was once plank
il republican platforms, put there
n the instance of MIR. Crawford
and other leaders the publisher
certainly earned, which Is cas-
liz verified By the fact that.
nearly every citizen Of Pierre.
endorsed him.
III conclusion We will s,ly we
have not abused OF sought to-
abuse MI. Crawford. We have.
only the kindliest personal regard
for him, but like hosts of other
republicans In the state We can
notApprove his present affiliations
with anti republican elements

Speaker Cannon Talked the
Matter Over With PreSi-
dent Roosevelt.
The Measure is Compromise, Mel
Their Side Getting All They
Wanted-The Court Review
Provision Eliminated From
the Measure.

Washington.-Th basis of a COM
ton legislation between President
Roosevelt and the house committee on
agriculture was arrived at Monday at
the White House. Speaker Cannon
represented the committee in this in
stance and subsequently spent some
time explaining the situation to the
committee in its form at the capital.
The bill was practically completed
when the committee adjourned.
1t will authorize an annual appro-
priation Of 100000 to pay the cost
Of inspection and will contain no pro-
vision for the levy of an assessment
to make up any deficiency in the
amount available for this work as sug-
gested by Mr.. Cowan, representing the
Texas cattle growers, and later urged
by the president
The court review provision will not
be contained in the measure. This ac-
ton meets the suggestion of the pres
ident. The words "in the judgment of
the secretary Of agriculture" will not
be contained in the measure. This ac-
ton meets the suggestion of the presi-
dent also.
