The Colorado democrats put up
a state ticket yesterday and de
nounced the republican party.
Washington, Sept. 24.—Repre
sontative Piokler to-day secured re
cognition and presented a report
from tlie committee on public lands
refusing to concur in the senate
amendment tu the bill opening Fort
Itandall military reservation to set
tlement and risking a conference,
which report was adopted by the
muse. This insures tlie passage of
the bill and opens over 30,000 acres
of land in South Dakota to settle
ment and grants a section at Big
Stone lake for the militia.
THE following from the Bismarck
Tribune shows how the independent
ticket in Burleigh county, North
Dskota, is "panning out:"
The independent county ticket is
dissolving a good d»-a! like the state
iumocratic ticket. Colonel Little
leclares his allegiance to the repub
lican ticket and Mr. White, the nom
inee for county commissioner, re
nounced all knowledge or connection
with the independent movement.
Mr. Skelton, nominated on the inde
pendent ticket, says he is a straight
democrat and will not accept an of
fice on any other ticket, nor will he
support any but a straight demo
cratic ticket. Farmer Chace, nomi
nated for county judge, will not ac
cept and it is understood there are
others on the independrnt ticket
who will not stand. The young le
publicans and young democrats who
went into the movement have made
their bed, but it is doubtful if it will
prove as flowery as they had hoped.
THE independents tie their faith
to the sub treasury plan as a sub
stitute for the present system of
national banks. Will some of their
organs kindly set the two systems
up side by side in all their detail of
operation"? The people have a
right to know just what they are
asked to accept. Because a sub
treasury plan operated favorably in
France as a war measure, is no
reason it would fit this or any other
country as a permanent system of
finance. Are we to understand that
France has adopted it as such? Wo
arc seeking light on this important
subject.—KikhtR RqmUican.

Diabolical Meanness.
Carthagenian: At the close of the
present capital campaign, Huron
will have the satisfaction of know
ing that for diabolical meanness she
stands at the head of all tlie cities
of South Dakota. Her whole effort
seems to be in the line of misrepre
sentation. To make the people of
not only the eastern part of tlicstate
but the whole country believe that
the great .Sioux reservation is unlit
for settlement, notwithstanding the
statements to the contrary of the
whole editorial force, with the ex
ception of two or three, which cross
ed that country. Not satisfied by
the continual publication of this
falsehood, to make the lie more
plausible, Huron sends out dispatch
es to the effect that the land ollices
there has received orders from the
I'ftiid commissioner to allow no more
filings on lands in the "so called
arid regions" which lie west of the
100th meridian. This last dying
ellbrt of Huron to influence votes,
caps the climax of fraudulet schemes.
In the first place, the reservation, or
the land west of the 100th meiidian,
is not in the jurisdiction of the land
oflice at Huron. If any such order
has been sent out, it would have
lieen sent to the office at Pierre. L.
H. Bailey, the register of the Pierre
oflice. says "the only orders receiv
ed relative to the arid lands are to
allow no filings on land reserved for
reservoirs, irrigating ditches and
canals for the purpose of controlling
the waters of lakes and rivers and
their tributaries mthenrid regions."
Mr. Bailey also says the Pierre oflice
is receiving filings on nil surveyed
lands within the Pierre land district,
regardless of whether east or west of
the 100th meridian.
Huron by way of impeding im
migration is doing the state of South
Dakota all the injury there is in her
power to do, and then has the
"cheek" to nsk the commonwealth
of .South Dakota to make her the
permanent
capital.

itself to be one of equal growth and

the cities of Aberdeen, liedfield,

tended toward them one act of kind

—An unknown contemporary
soliloquizes thusly on the uncertain
tea of this world: "This is a topsy
turvy world. One man is trying to
get justice, another is Hying from it.
One man is saving up to build a
house and another is trying to sell
the dwelling for less than it cost.
One man is spending all the money
he can make in taking a girl to balls,
and sending her flowers, in hope
eventually to make her his wife,
while his neighbor is spening all the
gold he has got to get a divorce.
One man escapes all the diseases
that man is heir to and gets killed
on a railroad another gels through
half a dozen wars and dies with the
whooping cough."
Pierre's Superior Facilities.
Pierre is steadily gaining in the
capital contest throughout the state,
and this condition of things is a
matter of frequent comment among
the conservative, look-ahead citizens
of the state. Huron's campaign is
being managed on the hurrah plan,
and will certainly exemplify the old
adage, "Great cry and little wool."
The fact is, Huron is trying to bol
ster up a weak cause. The city was
built on capital prospects, its stock
in trade all these yeais has consist
ed of capital prospects, and when it
finally settles down to live in peace
as the reasonably fair country town
it is destined to be, its assets will
consist principally of capital pros
pects—mighty poor assets for any
town to possess. Pierre possesses
infinitely superior facilities for the
state capital over Huron, and these
lacilities are being thoroughly con
sidered by the people who will be
called upon to locate the capital by
their votes. Huron possesses no
slate claim to the capital, and the
weak local energies tiiat are being
Hpent to secure the prize will come
to naught on election day. Pierre's
campaign is being handled on the
merits of the case, and will secure
votes in every precinct in the state
op the natural merits she {tossesties.
Pierre will receive enough votes to
settle for,all tiiue the capital city of
South Dakota.—ihmdeciu Herald,

A Woman's Device for Evading the

In a semi-fashionable boarding
house "on the hill,'' in Washington,
resides, as a guest, a maiden lady,
cultured and clever. Like soiut
other people she is rather sensitive on
tho question of age and this, of
C0tir80, was tho subject of some ui/,
7.in£ among the thicker-slur,ned board
ers. The blank left nt tho house by
the enumerator was spread out on the
parlor table and the inmates requested
to till in the various spaces us to thoir
antecedents, etc. Secrecy was, of
course out of tho ^ueition and con

how our ancient maiden would treat

"That?" said Miss Arabella placid

calmly retired, well aware that not a
