tured and yet he believes no good can
come except through the party under
which these evils grew. The gentleman
is evidently OF that class of republicans
who, though having little faith in them,
yet would endorse prohibition and
woman's suffrage to insure the success
ofthe party. The independent element OF
the republican party, and we believe it
is largely in the majority among the
the OF that party in South
Dakota, will stay with the party
just SO long as they see a possibility
Of through it accomplishing these and
other sought reforms. And another fact
the people begin to realize, platforms and
promises of reform are not enough.
Simply voting with a party Of promises
will accomplish nothing, the people and
not the politicians must name the can
didates. II the party does not take ad-
vanced grounds on these issues, it will
DO sought elsewhere. Apast record will
not reach the present demand.

OUR CENSUS OF MANUFACTURES.
On the End day OF June the work Of
collecting the statistics ofmanufacturers
for the report OF the Eleventh census
will be inaugurated throughout the en-.
tire country. The value OF this repor1
must depend wholly upon the accuracy
and thoroughness with which manufac'
tuners answert the questions propounded
The personal interest OF every manu-
facturer are involved in the character 81
the report OF manufactures. 1t will be
quoted for the next ten years us the
official announcement OF the exact in,
dustrial condition OF the country, and
will be the basis for any future legisla'
ton that may be enacted in regard tc
the wants Of our people, whether en-
gagged in agricultural or mechanical pur,
suits. Therefore it is OF vital impor
tance to each manufacturer that al
accurate report shall be made.
The Superintendent OF census has
taken every possibly p~recaution in the
preliminary work to make this census
complete and satisfactory, and the
earnest cooperation Of those engaged
in productive industry is all that is nov
necessary to secure valuable results.
Every manufacturer should bear il
mind that his answers to the questions
relating to his business are held strictly
confidential, are not disclosed to any
competitor or to other persons, and arr
not used by the government as~predicat,
for the purpose of taxation or license
or in any way to adversely affect hi
individual business. This assurance ii
printed on each schedule over the sigma
ture OF Superintendent OF Census.
The expert special agent in charge o
this branch of census work, Mr.. Franl
R. Williams, has personally visited tn
principal manufacturing centers ant
consulted representative manufacturers
the publishers OF trade journals, ant
practicable business men generally, 10
the purpose OF ascertaining the prope
scoop OF inquiry for each branch O
manufacture. The questions contained
in the census schedule are those sug
gested by the manufacturers and othe
persons most interested in the progres
OF the country, and cover ground abso
lutely essential to the proper p~resenta
ton OF it's industrial conditions and re
| sources.

We are in receipt OF Congressman Pick

April 3Oth during the consideration u
the bill granting pensions to soldiers and
sailors who are incapacitated for the
performance Of labor and providing for
pensions to widows, minor children and
dependent parents. Mr.. Picker delivers
a very fowery speech favoring the meas
ure, but expressing his belief that it
should 60 further and place every hon
orably discharged union soldier on the
pension roll. We believe this gentleman
Is right. End all pension legislation in
one act to pension all. In the end it
would cost the government no more and
be much fairer to the soldier than spec

worthy n lei are in receipt of pensions,
while many worthy ones fail to obtain
them.

The Omaha papers have been very
loud IN their support OF Francis Murphy
during his recent temperance revival in
that city. While such unanimous en-
dorsement by the press is unusual, the
cause Of it is not hard to discover.
As men who never trouble their heads
with temperance in times OF peace, be-
come warm advocates OF high license
when prohibition is agitated, 80 the
press, in a greater degree, feel obliged to
take some stand on a subject that is SO
agitating the people. The Murphy work
while no doubt brought about at this
particular time to draw attention from
prohibition and largely encouraged by
friends Of high license, has proved a safe
ty valve for the press OF Omaha. The
World-Herald has stopped over at a
fearful rate, but the Bee caps the climax
in it's issue of May 18th. After speaking
OF the opposition OF prohibitionists to
Mr.. Murphy's phase OF temperance work
and the good feeling that prevailed at
the close Of the work it concludes, SIT is
fairly to be assumed that their CONVEX
sion to Mr.. Murphy's plan and the evi.
dence they have seen OF its efficacy will
carry with it an abandonment OF their
support Of the impracticable and univer.
sally futile policy Of prohibition" We
should judge the writer to be some young
man who had taken his first step in the
temperance work. Heapparentlyf fails to
realize that prohibitlonists have passed
through all phases Of the moral suasion
and while they love it for the old mem.
Dries it brings to mind Of the busy days
spent in working through the Sons Of
Temperance, Good Templars and blue
ribbon societies and are ever ready to
lend q hand when such work is inauger-
ated, yet they look upon it as a way
that has led up through years Of patient
toll to more effective political action.
It took years et the moral suasion work
to 30 awaken the people that it was
possible to obtain a majority vote for
prohibition and the press OF Omaha will
find that il MT. Murphy has made con-
versions that are lasting, those converts
will hereafter vote Tor prohibition.

IMPORTANT TO PARTNERS.

TO M
Remember that farmers in the last leg
%islature, led by farmers in that body who
were out of debt themselves, and had seed
wheat to sell, and a little money to loan
for themselves or others, SO amended the
exemption law, that farmers cannot hold
half the stock, tools, ETC., ETC., they could
hold before the amendment. The excmp-
ton as it now is for them is not half what
is allowed to a farmer in Wisconsin or
Minnesota. The law will soon 90 into
effect, and already the collection sharks of
all kinds are getting ready to sally forth
and get new notes from the farmers, in
place of those they row have; SO that.
when the new notes come due, they can
seize on property of the farmer. which they
cannot sell on a judgment procured on the
note they now have. We warn all poor
men in this state, to give no new note
for an old debt; pay your honest old debts
as fast as you can, but, do not pu. your
hand in the lions mouth. Refuse to give
any new note for an old one from this time
on and you are safe. Will our exchanges
kindly copy this article or else write this
matter up themselves for the benefit of
their readers.-Conklin's Dakotian.
The "origlnal package" question is re-
ceiving considerable attention from tho
press. Look at it in any way you choose
and it is evident it will eventually fas-
ten the fangs of prohibition more deep
ly. There is a big question as to the
true Interpretation of the supreme court
decision, but should it result as the
whiskey men would have it, in the use
of the package, will it not result in
putting a clincher on the question? Will
it not make it a national question: If
SO, the whiskey traffic is doomed. A bill
prohibiting the use of the 'oripinal pack.
age" already has the promise of a speedy
passage in both houses of congress. We
believe the shrewd prohibitionist will say
