am sandwich" You don't recog-
nizc me in my present plain and rather
dirty attire, but if / should sling on the
great advertising boards that cover me,
front and back, and carry handsfull of
bills, you would know me a once as
familiar person you met on Olive street
or Broadway many times a day. The
name of sandwich" must have been an
inspiration of some funny man, and it
describes us exactly, piece of flesh,
doubtful as to eye and condition, between
two boards as hard as any rusk or biscuit
the lunch counter patron ever drove a
wedge into. We are the professional
perambulating advertising mediums of
very many respectable concerns. The
boards are painted on both sides, and it is
only matter of adjustment of the ropes
over our shoulder which displays to tho
pedestrian world either the merits of

Ours is an humble calling, you will say,
but it has its pleasant side. If we have
small salaries we also have small respon-
si5ilities. Our days are passed in pacing
the most frequent streets. The advertis-
ing boards shield us from bad weather
and hide any rents in our garments. We
see everything that is going on, and often
wonder that the reporters get so little
that is interesting. Few people stop us
to engage our attention, and so we are
generally wrapt up in our own medita-
tions. You wouldn't believe it, but some
of the Sandwiches" are pretty well edu-
Gated. They purchase books at the second
hand stalls and contrive to keep posted on
current events by reading the newspapers.

You see his rich father had cast him
off and the son was trying to humble the

when the old gentleman would come out
of his residence to take his carriage for
downtown, his son would appear before
him wearing the advertisement of a corn
doctor, with hideous bunion covered
foot in the middle, and would try to hand
him an advertising dodger. Once, on
Broadway, New York, | met very tall
young negro, very foppishly dressed, with
cane, diamond. tall hat and an immense
standing white collar. Half block fur
ther down the street | met his exact
counterpart and half block further an
other just like him. Everybody was as
tonished and turned about to look after
the third fellow, if he had not before
looked after the other two. Imagine the
general surprise when on the back of each

Prevailing Ignorance in Italy.

Tie prevailing ignorance and supersti-
tion is appalling. As late as 1882, accord
ing to the official statistics, "a per cent.
of the male population over 20 years of
age could neither read nor write. The
filthiness, abject poverty and squalor of
entire districts is indescribable, families
being huddled together with chickens and
pigs in one room hardly sufficient to afford
protection from the weather, the wages
being so low as to make it almost impos-
sible to keep body and soul together, and
absolutely impossible to leave the country
or better their condition. A piece of
white bread to them would be a grand
feast. This wretchedness is not found
alone among the marshy lands, but on
the richest and most fertile plains of
northern Italy, the horrible disease known
as 'spelIagra" making the greatest ravages
in Lombardy and Emilia. As yet tho
complaint is little understood, but known
to proceed from insufficient and unwholc-
some food, together with physical and
moral uncleanliness.-Florc Cor. Chi

Airships of the Future.

1t has become quite common of late TO
estimate the future in the way of forecast
ing what inventions must occur. 1t has
not SO generally occurred to our prophets
to tell us what civilization III its progress
sive movement will drop ont. a recent
writer suggests that we shall. in the next
CENTURY, have very little use for horses.
Ee supposes airships to be not only an
achievement, but to be as common as
wagons are now. The farmer has then
only to hitch load to his airboat, and lift
it clear Of trees, and move straight to
market. The effect of navigating the air
will, however, be most marked on urban
life. Cities will no longer be needed to
any such extent as now. The airship,
avoiding streets, can make a location in
the country as desirable for great store
as one in a city. VIII not also vast
amount Of land now needed for highways
be given over to tillage? Go ahead, and
give US the airship. Globe Democrat.

A DAKOTA BILL.


senator Platt, Chairman of the Com
mittee OH Territories. Argues I'm Be
half of Division and Admission
Washington, April 9-The bill for the
admission of south Dakota was taken
up III the senate to-day, and read
through. 1t is the substitute reported
from the committee on territories to the
original bill. Ii establishes the
boundaries of the proposed state, and
dedlguAtes the remaining portions OF the
present. territory ss the territory of
North Dakota (not Lincoln), with Bis
marck as the capital. There were less
than twenty senators on the floor, the
only ones on the republican side being
Platt. Davis, Spooner, Sabin and Teller,
Springer was conspicuous figure on
the democratic side, where he was i'm
pressing the beauties OF the omnibus
bill upon Senators Butler and Vest.
Mr.. Clifford occupied seat upon the
floor of the senate during the afternoon
and the galleries were filed. John Ell
King and wife, Judge Moody, ex-Con.
gressman Kleiner and wife and j. e,
Gibson of Canton were among the sDa-
kotans who occupied seats in the gallery
AS soon as the reading Of the bill was
completed, Senator Platt, chairman oil
| the committee on territories, took the
floor. He sketched rapidly the history
| of the division and admission movement
in Dakota, and then explained the
changes that had been made in the bill
this year and the ways in which il
differed from the bill passed by the SENATE
IN the last congress. The fret chang,
had been made in the boundary lines
| by which the northern boundary hst
been dropped seuth about six miles from
the forth sixth parallel to the seventh
standard parallel. This had been don
to bring the dividing line upon the boun
Diary line of the northern counties of th,
proposed state. The reluctance of th
people of either section TO relipquisb th
name OF Dakota Tad led to the applica
tion OF the name OF North Dakota i
place OF that OF Liucoln, and in CALM
the proposed state South Dakota.
| There had been protests against Ii
fuse of these names as common place an
compiicating, bat it would be like goin
into family and changing the names Q
children against the protests of the par
! ents as to attempt to take the name Ds
kota away from either section. Th
population OF South Dakota was discut
sed, and her right to two representative
in congress shown. Coming to the ques
ton OF the early admission OF the terri
tory, Mr.. Platt said that, while he il
tended to discuss this uestion free iroi
partisan feeling, he earnestly believe
: that the people of South Dakota ehoul
have ap opportunity TO vote fos presidei

Discussing the subject of congress
sionsl delegate candidate for the repub
lican party of Dakota the Lead City
Herald says:
The republicans are 80 strong in the
territory that nomination is equivalent
to gu election, therefore we are forced TO
take up the issue when such men as
Allen and Palmer are mentioned. We
have no interest in the matter except the
| nominee be good man, qualified for
the place. Be he republican or democrat,
| If be is true Dakotaian, is in favor OF
division and the immediate admission OF
the southern half, he is entitled to the
full support OF his party, and if the
republicans of Dakota put up doubtful
man on this subject he should be and
most surely will be defeated at the polls,
providing the democrats make proper
selection. Palmer or Allen neither one
could carry Black Hills county, and
we doubt very much whether they could
very many counties of south Dakota.
1t is in this light that the matter
should be viewed and discussed-whethel
proposed candidate is liable to be

Republican party Is strong IL
Dakota is not strong enough to bear the
burdens of all sorts or men. a wrong
nomination on the republican side and
a right nomination on the democratic
side would undoubtedly result in the
defeat of the republican party. Should
the republican party nominate q mar
with an ant!-division record and should
the democratic party nominate man
with division record the democra
would surely secure a majority of thu
votes of Dakota. The division of Dakott
is far more important at this time thar
party success. From political defes
there is recovery. The defeat of diyi
sion is everlasting. Palmer is an anti
divisionist and Alien is an anti-divi-
sionist. Ysnkton county, though
strongly republican, would also return {
majority against either MIR. Palmer o.
Mr.. Allen. The republican convention
cannot afford to place this kind OF con.
gressionsl material before the party.
