siH'iit some little timo in traveling
through North and South Dakota recent
ly, and I nm strongly impressed with tho
changes that havo taken place since 1885.
At that timo tho Dakota wero beginning
to feel tho depression following tho
years of "boom" nml inflation incident
to tho completion of the Northern Pacific
road In tho north and the rapid immigra
tion in tho south. There was no crash
and little distress, but tho influx of popu
lation to a country suited to agriculture,
but witli scarcely the scratch of a plan
on hundreds of square miles of its broad
level lauds, demanded capital, and tho
many young men who had como west
with little but brain, muscle und energy
wero forced to look oWwhero for em
ployment. The South Dakota of today is on a
much more substantial footing than in
tho days of glistening promises and wild
eyed booms. Irrigation in some parts
and tho certainty of more regular crops
will make her a healthy state. Tho new
ly ojienetl lands of the Sioux reservation
beyond tho Missouri river make room for
a Inrgo imputation, but South Dakota is
by no means putting forward tho temj
tations of former years to induce immi
gration. Sho wants capital and offers
safe investment and fair returns for it.
Tho Dakota of the early eighties was an
uncultivated plain, the parad-.so of tho
real estate speculator and tho boom
shark. Two things work tho dillercuco

Considered purely from the financial
ulamlpoiiit or that of piogressin nun's
profession or business, olllceholding, par
ticularly olllceholdlng that takes ono
away from home, Is a misfortune The
salaries paid government officials hero
look huge and inviting mi paper. At a
distance they aie qiiitnenchanting. lean
seo how one living in a country town
might envy theiuan who coi.ici to Wash
ington to take a governn'i 'lit jsist at a
salary or iJ'.I.OOO, $1,000 or $1,500 a year.
Theto me very Tow places here which pay
more than this. Members or congresa get
only $0,000 a year mid ure able to spend
one-hull' their time at home attending to
private business. They do not find it
absolutely necessary to transfer their
domestic establishments to this city. Hut
even nienibe-s of congress generally find
ofllceholding a poor investment. Not one
in a doyen of them saves money, and the
majority upend nunc than they earn.
Much less fimiruhlo is tho positio-i of
the mail who takes an executive position
at some such salary as that which I have
spoken or. What N'oinod i o largo to him
back in the states dwindles into a mere
pittance when he conies hero to earn
to
draw and to spend it. Take as a con
venient example thoca.io of a man who
is lucky enough, as ho thinks, to get a
1,000 place. Ho is indeed lucky to get
so good a place, if a place he must take,
for these are the prizes of olllceholding,
and those who start out lor them gener
ally accept .000, C.50l) or .:i,000 postn
in the end. Accustomed to tho cheaper
living expenses which aro sufficient at
his home, tho new olllcial imagines he
must and may easily live in good style at I
Washington. He has eojno down hero
to ho a part of tho great government.
Ho has been honored by the appoint
ment, and having become a man of im
portanco ho wants to live in style befit
ting his station. This is a laud'ablo mu
nition and an entirely natural one under
the circumstances.
Accordingly tho new official and his
wife start house liuntiu; . They have
their snug little homo in the country
and do not euro to furnish up another
abode. So they conclude they will rent
a furnished house. The first ono they
enter suits them exactly. It is elegant,
roomy, prettily situated, comfortable.
They practically decide to lake it, but
the price takes tlieir breath away when
they hear it .'50 a month. "Wo don't
want to buy your house, only to rent it,"
exclaims tho official to tho agent. Then
they look at some moro modest houses.
Tin prices range from ijaiOO a mouth
lowu V 150. Thoso which rent at tho
hitter firieo tiro-not very desirablo.. Hut
own ono of these takes for rent alono
more than one-third of the salary.
Tho wife being of a practical' turn.of
mind concludes that furnished Iioufcs
are not economical; that too much i-i be
ing paid for furniture, mid that it would
bo better to rent a house and furnish it
themselves, Ono in finally found at a
rental of $80 a month, anil this is far
from the elegant and fashionable struc
ture they had desired. Tho wife had
planned to do a good deal of entertaining
for tho glitter of Washington society
had caught her imagination and there
fore a house with spacious parlors was
on her programme. The $S0 house is only
tolerable, but thoy take it an n matter of
necessity, though witli great reluctance.
Now it must bo furnished. Here again
their cjutltrd iih'jts havo to lie modified.
It chances they have had an opjKirtunity
to set foot within some of tho tine house's
of the city, and as they are to be in soci
ety thoy naturally desire to live amid
elegant and creditable surroundings.
1 Ueforo signing the lease for the house
I they go to the furniture store mid get an
estimate on the furnishings. After hav
ing eliminated Turkish rugs, cxjiensive
' hangings and all that sort of thing, tliev
; find that fJ.bOO is tho best they can do,
J and many articles the wire alono per
I ceives how many aro still lacking. Witli
this condition before them this condi
tion instead of the theory on which they
had started out they find there is lint
one thing to do, mid this is to abandon
tho house idea altogether and board. It
will never do, they conclude, to give up
for rent and fcrniture alono all their sal
ary for a year, for they know too well
that when through with the furniture
they can never hell it formoie than a
third of its cost.
Now they go to look for a place to
board. Tliey have children, and of course
tho children are to como on. Tho eldest
daughter is to havo a glimpse of Wash
ington society. Tho mother is intensely
ambitious for her. A pictty sunt has
been spent on her education, musical
and otherwise, mid there aro Mich great
.possibilities in Washington hociety for a
pretty and accomplished girl that she v

it is decided tin family must board at a
I fashionable ilat -. On inquiry they tie
! cide tlnjt the Ar.jo or some such hotel is
the pi ci'. Ye , t.ie landlord can take
elegant care of tliein, He has just tho
suite they want. Plenty or room, good
light , eli iintly fmiiii lied, hath or courso
and all the comforts. The price? "Let
me see. Threo adults, two largo chil
dren, ono diiid, a iiiaid. You want a
suite of foi i tooins, with board. Mix
hundred dollars a month." "That seems
very icasonchle," navs tho now official,
"mid we'll think about it. Wo want to
look a littlelurthcr." As a parting shot
tho landlord offers tocomedowu to$550,
but this doesn't tempt into mi immedi
ate acceptance. When he gets outside,
tho olllcial heaves a sigh and says to hl:i
wire: "Does ho take me for a millionaire
Our salary is only $i:i:i !i:iu mouth. They
might leave us a dollar or two for car
fare."
Less indentions and cheaper places
aro sought. Prices range finni Q500n
month down to if loo. i:entlil will not
do for obvious reasons, and finally thu
new official and his wile take looms in
what is known us a coiiiiik ii boarding
house a good and comfortable enough
place, hut not stylish or fashionable at
all ami almost u deathblow to tho social
ambitions of its occupants and pay
therefor$C(MI n month. Neither the looms
nor the fine is what they wanted. Tho
family miss many of thocoinfoitsof lifo
to which they had been accustomed in
tlieir own home. They mo tlnown ii.to
the society of people they don't care to
meet, but must be polite in order to
avoid trouble. The children have no
yard to play in. The pallors are stulTy
and fiequenleil by fliity, ill niannered
persons of both sexes, and the father ami
mother chafo amid such surroundings
Tor tlieir eldest daughter and the other
childieii.
The dream or social conquest m Wa ill
ington, even or social enjovment, is
rudely dispelled. Faded am the visions
or a fine establishment, a cmriage ami
pair, a pony for the cliildteu, of hand
some gowns mid many admirers Tor the
eldest daughter. When the comforts of
lire aro hard to get.it is time to stop
talking about the luxuries. Pinch and
scrape mid nianago as they will, the offi
cial and his wire find it impossible to
make both mos meet. The bundled ami
odd dollars per mouth left out of the
salary allonln little latitude for dress,
doctor's bills, amusements und the thou
sand and one exiM'iises or a fmnih. A
carriage ride would mean bankruptcy
ror the week. Mother and rather wear
out all their old clothes. The new olll
cial gives up smoking and very rarely
takes n drink. He declines invitation's
to join n club or two und avoids tlie so
ciety of tlio very men whose acquaint
unco ho had expected to cultivate, be
cause ho icali.es he cannot go at then
pace (iiancially.
After a few mouths of this sort of life,
in which they run behind week aftet
week and find it necessary to draw on
tho little income they have irointhur
property or business at home, the family
bundles up mid goes back to the little
country town to make as good a face of
it us they can before tho inquisitive
neighbors. They aro in lovo with Wash
ington, of course, and have had a jier
fectly lovely time and enjoyed tin society
m much, witli emphasis on the . o," but
tho children need the school at home, and
the climate did not agree with Aiubelhi.
They will go bade in the fall when
Washington is lixely again. When fall
comes, Arabella goe-i back to stav for a
time witli her lather, but theother mem-,
hers of the family remain ut home and
economize in order to give Arabella a
show.
And how does the husband ami father,
the new official, rare all this time? Not
very well. It - hard to be cut oft from
tho society of his family. Ho has never
tried that lief ore mid doesn't like it. Ht
wants tlio boys, and tlio baby, mid the
mother by his side. Besides, the work is
anything but fascinating. Not too hard,
it is humdrum mid routine. It calls for
no enthusiasm; it presents no stimulus
for energy or ambition. He soon realizes
ho is a mere part, and n small pari at
that, of a great machine. In the town
whence he came ho is lookodup to as u
man of some importance, and the folks
ut homo take genuine satisfaction in the
envy of tlieir neighbors and this isu lit
tle consolation but in Washington the
new olllcial quickly peiceives he is veiy
small potatoes and not many to the hill,
and this hurts his pride.
Ho has not wived a cent out of what at
first seemed to be such a splendid salary.
On the contrary, he has incurred a large
debt. To tide over ho sold the house or
other property at homo and must now
race the world practically where ho
raced it when ho was a young man. Ho
must begin life over again. Ho has lost
hii law practice or his business at home.
In many ways he has lost status. Com
petition is keen in thin world, and tho
man who steps aside from a given field
oven for four yearn need not expect to
return at tho end of that time and find
his phico unoccupied. But this is not
half m serious as tlio chango that has
come to tho man himself. He has de
teriorated in strength, spirit and energy.
Ho is no longer fit for conquest. The
odds aie that ho will never again be tlio
man he was.
Tliis is not an imaginary picture. If I
choso to do to, I could describe not ono
hut a score of Mich ciim's, giving names
und other particulars. Of course therr
aio exceptions, cases in which office
holding leads to valuable connections,
business or professional. But these are
mre. The rule is that olllceholding
brings immediate loss or money and
place mid the worse dry rot that forbids
