mm in An Egregious Blunder. Aberdeen Daily News. The Pierre capital committee or whoever is responsible, has made an egregious blunder in organizing series of surreptitious Pierre mefifc- isgsto trap the people into hearing a lecture on Pierre. Prof. Bailey exe- cutes his mission as adroitly as could be desired and he i i no way to blame for fulfilling his engagement to deliver his lecture on the "Wonder Land." Bnt the committe has made a.grand mistake in pursuing such tactics.

The people who are duped by such an imposition will resent it at the polls. They do not like to be made victims of a It would have been far better to have been honest and have advertised frankly that Prof. Bailey would present the claims of Pierre in connection with the Black Hills.

BEFCJbSJLICAN PLATFORM, We, the republicans of South Dakota in con- vention assembled, eraffirm the principles en- unciated in tlie platform of the national repub- lican party in and most heartily endorse the administrations of president Harrison and gov- ernor Mellette. We recognize with, pleasure the services rend- ered our state by our United States senators and representatives in congress. We favor an amendment to the constitution of the state 30 that the legislature will be author- ized to enact such laws as will enable our state, counties and townships therein to maintain a i thorough system of irrigation where needed, and the republican party, now as heretofore, being in sympathy with every material development of our commonwealth, hereby pledge our hearty support to all measures that will tend to the development of our agricultural resources; and we urge upon the general government ro extend prompt and liberal aid to the practical establish- ment of a system of irrigation by means of ar- tesian wells within the artesian basin of this state, and urge upon our senators and represen- tatives in congress to continue to uae their best efforts to secure such aid.

We favor such expansion of our will meet t'ue growing demand of our increasing population and wants and offset the contraction resulting from the withdrawal, of national bank circulation. To this end we favor ouch legisla- tion as will utilize the entire product of our sil- ver mines as money. We favor such a tariff on all importations, man- ufactured or produced, as will fully protect our laborers, manufacturers, farmers and miners from the ruinous competition 01 pauper labor of other countries, and so create and sustain a home market for the products of our farms, giving to each a livine margin of profit. We arso favor Hon. James G.

Blames recom- mendations of reciprocal treaties with and South American republics, with a view to open in them a wider market for the products of American farms. We most heartily endorse the action of the re- pnblran party in the passage of the disability pension bill, and we urge the passage of such a service law as will in some measure reward each of our honorably discharged soldiers for the years of health and life lost to them by the hard service rendered our country. We most heartily invite and welcome all peo- ple from foreign lands, who come to our etate to i3cure homes and to become good and law abid- citizens of the commonwealth. We recognize the right of labor to organize for its protection, and by all lawful means to secure itself the greatest reward for its thrift, indus- and skill. We all combinations of capitalists to limit production or control the necessaries of Ife and advance prices detrimental to the best interests of society, and we aak laws for their suppression and punishment.

We favor the Australian ballot system, or such lection laws as will guarantee to every voter the secresy in the casting of his ballot, and we demand laws for the severest punishment of any attempt to corrupt the ballot. We also favor the passage of tho national election law now pendino- before the United States senate. We view with great gratiacation the prosperous of our public schools, and higher in- stitutions of learning, and demand that our school lands shall be jealously guarded. Prohibition being adopted by a vote of the peo- ple as a part of the'fundamental laws of the state, we pledge the party to its faithful and honest en- forcement. Tryiiig to JFool Voters.

Faulkton Record. The managers of the Pierre cam- paign when confronted with the cold fact that it costs the state nine or ten dollars more for every trip made by members of the legislature to the present state capital, than it would, if the capital was located at Huron, say that it don't cost the state anything as the most of the legislators ride on passes. If the members of the legis- lature are lucky enough to secure free transportation that is their own good fortune and draw their mileage just the same. It puts sev- eral thousand dollars unnecessary taxation every year on the already over-burdened taxpayers of the state, to say nothing of the extra expense in mileage and hotel fare to every man who visits the state capital. I I ill HURON, KENT, Proprietor, DAKOTA.

Is it wet enoufeb for you? THERE is no good agricultural ountry in the world where the rain- fall is always sufficient. SENATOR MOODY appears this weak at Vernuilliou, Elk Point, Canton, Parker, Yankton, Woonsocket, Madi- son, Flandreau and Sioux Falls. He will at the latter city on Saturday evening. EDITOR FRANK CORY, of the Red- field Journal, is said to be making an excellent common-sense campaign for the senatorship in Spink county. Republican friends are very confi- dent of his election.

OTHER interests should not lead the working republicans of Beadle county to spare any effort for an overwhelming victory. The time of voting is close at hand. Work should be prompt and vigorous. The Natural Choice. Aberdeen Daily News.

The people it left to themselves would undoubtedly naturally choose Huron for the state capital. This is proven by what they have done in years past. It is a pity therefore bhat they should be warped from their natural inclinations by selfish schemes of speculation for purely private gain. Any kind, of a scheme can make some show by a lavish use of money. No matter how unreason- able, if there is money in it, consider- able stir eaa be made.

But after all, is it not better to permit the people to continue to gather at Huron and make it the capital than to try under various pleas, pretexts and so-called argument to seduce them against their own best interests to go to an out-of-the-way and inconvenient place? The selfishness which will perpetrate such wrong ought not to succeed, as it certainly will not. HURON seems threatened with a boom. There is more inquiry for property than there has been for years. The public mind, at least among business men, seems to have settled down to the belief that Huron is to be the capital, and that general irrigation in the James valley is to be an immediate and great, success. THE of the state caa get to Huron at a much less 1 expense of money and time than is required to at to Pierre.

Nobody disputes that. Thia condition, of things must sarily remain for a considerable time. This condition in a somewhat modi- fied degree, will probably remain for all lime. Therefore the capital ought to be at Huron. Want to Unload.

Faulkton Record. One of the Pierre papers a couple of weeks ago contained the state- ment that a Mr. Curtis of Berlin, was in the city as the repre sentative of a large syndicate and that he had purchased a large tract of Pierre property and would at once erect sixty-five dwellings thereou. Mr. Curtis was interviewed by the editor of the Salem Register and stated that he did not own a foot of Pierre property and that the whole story was a pure fabrication.

'Twas only a Pierre story by which the land sharks of that city hope to dupe the credialous and unload their worth- lesss holdings on the unwary invest- The Dakota Industry. Yankton Press and Dakotian. Farmers! read the table of duties imposed by the McKinley bill, else- where published, and see if your in- terests have not been zealously guard- ed in republican tariff legislation. We call part'cular attention to the duty on the wool for the reason that Dakota farmers are engaging ex- tensively in the sheep industry, and the present law assures their success beyond a doubt. In.

this one item alone, the republican party has con- ferred an inestimable boon upon Da- ksta farmers.

With all the foregoing advantages in Huron's favor, let the farmer voters of the state ponder long and earnestly before they consent to push their capital away from where it ought to be, 120 miles, where nobody will be benefited but a lot of town- site sharpers aud syndicates--while the school fund of the state will be shrunken also, and added taxation heaped upon every voter in the state.

Put the capital at Huron and the school section--seve taxes--save travel--save time--save expense and thus save your homes. fanlk Irrigation. Fanlkton republican. Engineer Hedges'of Redfield, has made an elegant plat of his work in surveying the water ways for the proposed irrigation system in Arcade township. He demonstrates tha with an abundant supply of water more than 1,100 acres of land can be irrigated at that point with ditches of one foot cut.

His plat is an artis- tic piece of workmanship. THE Mitchell republican seems now want to help Huron! It is perhaps fair to intimate that it is about time its editor turned something more suggestive of appreciation than a 'rozen shoulder to Huron friends, without whose stifi-backed support certain ambitions mast have been as feather in a gale of wind. One of bis reasons for asking hid people now to put the capital at Pierre, is that, Huron without the capital, on the broad ground of the continued growth of the entire state, will be a better town five years from now than she will be with the capital." Bless you, Huron will be all right either way. It is the convenience and ex- pense of the people of the state that is in question. Five to One.

Sioux Falls Press. A gentleman writing from Center- ville, pasted a "keep your eye on Hu- ron" sticker on the bottom of his let- ter, with the notation: will carry five to one here." the national local de- cisions against a fraudulent vpte on this Reservation, 1 are predicting a hard wiater! THE "ruin" combination of Brook- ings county--democratic and inde- pendent--has some favoring condi- tions, but the lord of the harvest is dead-set against it. The farmers of Brookings county fairly roil in wealth this season. The mortgages are being paid off at a rate which does more to quell the banker, control the money leaner, and make interest lower, than forty legislatures, local or national could hope to do. Republi- canism and prosperity have gone hand, in hand so long that tne peo- ple naturally associate thetvru.

The prosperous man is apt to think that the republican party is good enough for him, and he thinks it so hard that the professional ruin roarer can hardly get his attention. Brookings county farmers know that they are not ground down in the dust this year! They can "flax" out any party that goes declaiming about their poverty. IT is not the average rainfall that makes the crop, but the timely rain fall. IF the Brookinge Press is accurate- ly reported as supporting, the inde- pendent legislative ticket of Brook- ings county, while it carries the re- publican state ticket, it has committed a political error of the gravest kind. Far better that ib should go the In- dependent racket clear through.

If the republicans of South Dakota need success anywhere it is in tne legisla- ture, where a senator is to be voted for. The Press should bear in mind that the choice of legislators is not a merely local affair. When chosen, ihey legislate for the whole state, and, when senators are to be chosen, for the whole nation. The republicans of the whole state have a right to ex- pect, whatever may be the local dif- "erences in Brookiage county, that every republican of that county will do all he can to keep power in republi- can hands in the legislative body; and the republicans of the nation--' who care not a fig for local jars-- have a right to expect that every re- publican of all the legislative dis- tacts -will do all in his power to strengthen the hands of republican legislation and administration fit the national capital. There are certain local offices where a county might- well resent outside bnt the choice of legislators is a mat- ter of deep concern to the whole state, and, in many cases, to the whole nation.

The men chosen in Brookings county will not legislate for Brookinga county alone. They will legislate for the whole state, and for the whole nation this The Press should take this into serious account, and not subject its republican constituency and itself to fcha just ill will of the republicans the whole state and who will- not care a feather for its purely local grievances..
