A reflective column notes the likely admission of Oklahoma as a new state, praises the Sioux Falls Press for independence, and mentions Gov. Elrod’s capital-building plan with native boulders. It also reports on Hall’s expense chart for railroad tickets, Senator Depew’s illness tied to a life expose, and criticisms of papers following the Sioux Falls Press.
The Sioux Falls Press reports a Crawford meeting in Sioux Falls Tuesday evening. Crawford faces no difficulty finding democratic support, but caucus law blocks democrats from voting at republican caucuses. The Huninite quips that Crawford should seek democratic votes on a democratic ticket.

Congress under Representative Tawney pursues government clerical reform by retiring workers aged 70 and older.

Susan B Anthony dies in Rochester New York at age 93 after a lifetime of temperance and abolition advocacy. A Supreme Court decision eases federal investigations into trusts by allowing access to corporate books. The piece notes shifts in court stance toward railroads and trusts over the past decade. A South Dakota political discussion argues insurgent momentum wanes in some counties and strengthens in others, splitting Democratic and populist support from Republicans ahead of the state convention.
The Senate votes to make Oklahoma and Indian Territory a single state, meeting strong house opposition. Administrations favor two states from these lands, as residents support unity. New Mexico and Arizona face a different case with opposed union and no shared interest. Some urge deferring admission pending development and settlement.
