The indications are that the Sioux
Falls constitution will meet with very
little if any opposition at the coming
election. What few objections have
been raised are being satisfactorily
met by Messrs. Edgerton, Moody, Kan
ouse and others on the stump, and by
such newspapers as the Sioux Falls
Press, Yankton Press, Watertown
Courier, Huron Huronite. and Aber-
deem News, while the REPUBLICAN
was early on record as being heartily
in favor of this instrument.

position, though now located at Rapid
City. During his interval of rest from
official duties he has dones some valiant
newspaper work both at home and
abroad in South Dakota's interest

than proper recognition of this fact as

moved without cause from his former
incumbency.

A writer in the Pioneer Press, whose
remarks are reprinted elsewhere in the
REPUBLICAN today, makes some points
with reference to membership in the
constitutional convention which are
well worth considering. If we
are to make o genuinely
republican state of South
Dakota the foundation walls must be
laid strong and broad and deep, and
no careiessness or Indifference or over
assurance should be permitted to mar
this fundamental work.

Sweeping the world.

The glory of our movement is this, that
its results will not be limited to any class,
to any section, nor even to any country. 1t
means reform that will be worldwide in
its benefits, and in this respect it is the
greatest and grandest idea that ever po-
litical party planted its standards upon.
Already the signs of dawn are breaking in
other skies than ours. Canada has just or

we are not greatly mistaken, and meantime

lists of France has, in 81 Assommoir, -

alization which her yearly increasing re-
cords of crime and lunacy, and her steady
deterioration of physical manhood, shown
in the lowering of her standard of admission
into the army, will help her to attain.
Even in Russia, the most famous living
writer Count Tolsto, has applied all his
genius to the task of depicting in 'The In
vention of Whiskey," his dread and detes-
tation of the work wrought in that nation
by alcohol. And every nation on the globe
is looking now to America to lead this
fight against the curse of the nineteenth
century, the parasite of modern civiliza-
ton.
1t is a movement worthy the conservation
of any mans life.

and the other in its simplicity and sincere
grief.
/ had known both of these men, now
done with earthly affairs forever, for many
years The first had never, by tender
word or deed, done anything to soften an
others sorrow, or to aid needy brother
man: the others simple life was made up
of words ofsympathy and quiet, nnostenta-
tous acts Of kindness. The first lived in a
brown stone mansion; rich carpets covered
the floors; costly paintings adorned the
lofty walls and its occupants never knew
wish unqualified. The other lived
in tiny cottage, with painted floors and
simple furniture; the low, whitewashed
walls were adorned by the cheapest works
of art the food was nourishing
but simple, and what might have been
spent in luxuries went to gladden. the hearts
of some one poorer in worldly goods than
himself. His fellow mortals welcomed
him with smiles wherever he was known;
frowning faces gazed after his richer neigh
Dor. His sleep was sweet because ola con-
seriousness of duty done; the others dreams
were disturbed by widows tears and an
orphans wailing cry. For one death had
no terror, it was but the portal to higher
life; to the other the future beyond the
tomb was as a horrible fantasy-an I'M
known evil from which his guilty soul
shrank appalled,.
Shall tell you why? The one was a
simple mechanic--a noble, God fearing
man, who denied hips on earth to
lay up treasures in Heaven; the other was
one of that INSCRIPTIONS class of beings
who win their wealth by breaking the
hearts of widows and orphans, by shutting
his heart to every noble impulse, and his
hand to the call of human woe--a rumsell-

the school and SALOON.

The school builds up character; the
school trains the child to be honest and
honorable; the school teaches prompt and
business-like habits; it disciplines the
mind to thought and self mastery, to a
daily habit of duty and toll.
The saloon tears down character; the
saloon teaches subterfuge and falsehood
and dishonor; the saloon gives license to
thought and manner and evil passions.
The school teaches selfdependence and
self-support; the saloon renders its victim
hanger on, a parasite on society.
The school teaches respect. for law; the
saloon teaches the trampling of law under
foot. The school teaches reverence fol-
God, and love of humanity; the saloon
teaches profanity and inhumanlty.
Now what must be done to counterfeit
the influence of the saloon? We must re-
double our efforts and multiply the good
influences of the school and the home. We
must fortify the children by teaching them
the evils of the drink habit.
Geo. Mcdonald says 1--WE have been
taught we are bodies and possess souls; we
should be taught we are souls and possess
bodies" AS the body is of more import
ance than the dress whic.: clothes it, SO is
the soul of more Importance than the body
which encases it. AS we should put upon
the body that sort Of clothing which best
answers its needs, we should feed the body
with the food which will render it the
most fit for the dwelling place of the soul,
and the indwell:ng of the Holy Spirit.
The child must be taught that the part
with which he thinks, his immortal mind,
must learn right from wrong. Certain
things he may desire to do are wrong fol
him to do. 1t is wrong to get angry and
strike his playmate, it is wrong to say un-
true, or vulgar or profane words. So he
must learn unselfishness and self-control
for the health of The soul as well as of the
body He learns to dread fire because il
burns, to avoid poisons because they harm
Alcohol, opium and tobacco are poisons
Cider, beer wine, and the whole category
of stronger drinks contain alcohol. He
must not take the lighter drinks. even II
they do seem harmless, lest he like them

Some one these days the ''hold up your
hands and deliver fiends, will be less con-
spicuous than now, or if conspicuous at all
will be because of their absence from the
stage of action and presence at the morgue.
Wednesday morning last, there were
three bold fellows in the Office of G. Loeb,
money broker, 60 Broadway, N. y. at
the same time, two of them burglars and
the third Mr.. Loeb himself. OF course Mr..
Loeb threw up his hands when ordered by
one of the precious scamps to do so, and
the robbers just took all the booty they
could find and then coolly walked out into
the street and made off. Well no, not ex-
actly, the account don't read that way, but
more after this fashion:
AS they ran into the office one of them
drew revolver and ordered Mr.. Loeb to
throw up his hands. Instead of doing SO,
he raped on the window and gave the
alarm. The robber fired at him, the bullet
just grazing the brokers' shoulder. and
then he and his companion fled having Sc
cured nothing from the money drawer,
which they opened. One of them, whom
Mr.. Loeb identified as the robber who fired
at him, was caught and lodged in Jail. He
gave his name as William Ira inor and said
he was 90 years of age and clerk.

a saloon one rainy day and the proprietor
tapped on the window and invited him in.
He gave him lemonade for nothing and
told him to stop whenever lie was thirsty
and drink one When the boy left, a man
who was in the saloon asked the man what
he did that for, and the saloon-k keeper,
pointing to magnificent residence, said

a Contrast.

| saw two funeral professions pass slow
ly by my window one bright summer day.
The first was long line of stately carri-
ages, with proudly stepping horses and
nodding plumes: an expensive hearse car
ried the ebony and gold casket, draped
ers gave their fragrance and withered there
in the summer heat; the mourners were
clothed in slken texture, and broad folds
of silken Grape testified how deep was their
grief. But curious glances rested upon all
this princely show, and mnttered curses
followed it as it passed; the eyes that met
mine ia that long procession we're not dim
med by tears; even the widow of him who
lay cold and silent in the ebony and gold
casket could smile as she followed him to
his asst resting place.
The other came as slowly: the horses
wore no sable plnmes; the plain, pine coffin
was exposed to view in the open wagon that
held it.; here, too, were tlowers--sweet,
shy, fragrant wild flowers, like the deeds
of the silent form beneath them-gathered
by loving hands as a last tribute to the
dead; few simple carriages followed; the
mourners We're plainly clad, but their eyes
were red with bitter weeping, and the still
summer air echoed wild sobbings; the pass
er by stood respectfully with bare, bowed
head, as they passed; saddened faces look
ed from the windows upon the uncovered
coffin, and blessings were breathed as it
passed from sight.
What contrast. the first procession

RaseOaII and Total Abstinence

The two great obstacles in the way of
the success of the majority of professional
ballplayers are wine and women. The
saloon and the brothel are the evils of the
base ball world at the present day; and we
see it practically exemplifed in the failure
of noted players to play up to the standard
they are capable of were they to avoid
these gross evils. One day it is a noted
pitcher fails to serve his club at critical
period of the campaign. Anon, it is the
disgraceful escapade of an equally noted
umpire. And SO it goes from one season
to another, at the cost of the loss of thou
sands OF dollars to clubs who blindiy shut
their eyes to the costly nature of intemper-
ance and dissipation i'll their ranks. We
tell you, gentlemen of the League and AS
ISOLATION, the sooner you introduce the pro-
hibitIon plank in your contracts the sooner
you will get rid of the costly evil of drunk
enness and dissipation among your players.
