SIOUX CITY last week entertained a !
Boston excursion party that was brought
out by enterprising citizens of the Corn
Palace City. They are good class of
people to have about and set up things
for, as they are likely to see chances
for investments.
IT MUST be discouraging in the Da-
kOtas, Kansas, Iowa and few other
sections to learn that the scientists have
discovered trace of alcohol i'm water in
its natural state. Still. the tendency in
those states is not to dangerous excess
in the use of this element as beverage.
If THE mishaps of state officials in
Louisiana have caused shortage III
the state treasury of a million or so, it
ought to stimulate the confding over
the land to still larger contributions to
the chief industry of that state. st.
Paul parties have drawn s. and so
prize recently.
1t SEEMS to be a fact that the high
officers in the war do not hold out as
well as the men. on the average. One
can number on the fingers about all the
great military men that now survive.
Out of tWenty-sIX of the best known
generals of the rebellion but six are
among the living.
THE case of the methodist minister in
Alabama. who was arrested for passing
counterfeit dollars he took from the
contribution box suggests the need of
caution on the part of contributors.
The heather may be imposed upon
with spurious dollars, but there is this
danger of involving the preacher in
trouble.
THE policy of the administration III
Directing to intrusion upon the field of
the sealskin monopoly will not very
seriously reduce the outlaWed business.
There will be large additions to the
100000 skins the monopoly are allowed,
and it is thought the number thrown
upon the market should materially re-
duee the cost of, this favorite environ
ment of luxurious danes.
THERE is good deal of passing each
other i'll the highways of life. The
driver of a Scavenger wagon in Wichita
started out as a teacher of the classics
in one of the higher educational inSti-
buttons of Indiana. The wealthieSt
newspaper man in New York. with
possible exception or two, was at one
time stevedore in st. Louis. Fortune
plays fantastic tricks at times.
IL THE last Ohio legislature bill to
fix two cents per mile as the maximum
for railroads was lost in the usual way
where railroads are actively interested.
The commercial travellers are now ex-
acting pledges of all candidates for the
legislature to vote for the measure,
which is to be pushed this winter. This
IS another evidence of the growing dis
position to embarrass the local states
men in their path to thrift.
The new fast mail service between
New York and Chicago that went into
effect this week reduces the time be-
tween those points to twenty-five hours.
or four hours less than the regular mail
trains. If it simply adds four hours to
the delay at Chicago. it will be of no
value to the country west. There is
greater need of fast mail from st. Paul
east in order that people may get their
morning papers earlier.
PRIVATE SECRETARY HALFoRD'S pa
per, in referring TO the atrOcious out
come of the HATFIELD-MCCOY VEN
delta in Kentucky, in which the bride
and groom and clergyman were killed,
says that no crime like that would be
possible outside of Kentucky. 1t is not
surprising that the suggestion comes
