SOME QUEER COINS.
The Oldest Ever struck and the widow

The oldest Ever struck and the widows
Here is the Oldest coin ever made
in the world" a Washington collector
said one day recently tosa reporter in
that city. .'lt was minted about the
year 700 B. c., in Egina, and you
will observe that the DESIGN in high
relief represents o tortoise crawling
across the face OF the piece. You
will not find any date OMIT because
no coins were dated prior to 400 years
ago. The most beautiful coin ever
made. in my opinion. Is this silver
piece OF Macedonia which was cur
rent in Macedon. now Constantinople,
90 years before Christ or 200 years
earlier than the time of Alexander the
Great Though it's face value is only
SD cents the coin is worth price to-
day that would astonlsh you.
Here is a snecimen of the coin of
smallest value ever issued. 1t is the
mite so called, such as the widow of
the bible story dro ped into the slot
for the poor. though it was her last
one. One-fftieth Of a cent it was
worth. and you observe that it's shape
was hexagonal. Close by you will
notice piece OF money worth 1920.
1t is simply q rectangular piece OF
gold stamped with the character OF
China from which country it comes.
Jumps of gold are used in China for
currency Of large denominations"

AN ELKss HORNS.

Those who take an interest In the
study oil natural history may be inter-
ested to know that In a few weeks the

He will soon be sTorn or the royal

With the loss OF the antlers the
stag will change his disposition en-

clination to court public petting rather
than avoid it He will be in this con-
dition of temper three months. when
he will show a disposition to Turk In

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST

The legislature OF South Dakota has
not as yet succeeded in electing q
United States senator, nor is there a
probability this matter will be disposed
OF for several days to come. There was
no special change in the result OF the
balloting from day to day until Tuesday,
when the republicans scattered hoping
to find a man that could draw support
from the opposition, and at the same
time poll the entire republican vote. In
this they have been wholly unsuccessful,
as shown in the proceedings Of Tuesday
which were as follows: or one hundred
and sixty-seven votes cast, Moody re-
ceived 40, Melville, IA; Winslow, s;
Lake, 10; Picker, 2; Martin, i; Preston.
2; Mellette, 8; Trip, %; Crosse, Is;
Harden, 81; Kyle, IL; King, 5; Seward,
s; Mathews, /; Dow, 8; McFarlane, 1.
Yesterday Moody received "a, Trip
%, and Martin 2, no material change
with other candidates. Just what the
outcome will be no man can form any
thing like definite conclusion. It may
continue in this manner through the en-
tire session, or one should not be sur
prised to see the democrats join the re-
publicans and elect republican. But
no one familiar with the situation be-
lieves the democrats will unite with the
independents or vice versa. The gap
between these fractions is extremely
broad on the senatorial question.
The opportunities for republican sue
cess is materially effected by the loss OF
two members from Brown county and
two from Lawrence, with indications oil
losing the remaining three from the lat,
ter county, viz: Gregg, Knight and
Rouse. The means and measures
adopted by the fusionists to unseat
these men are as damnable as they are
unjust, but this new party of reform is
not governed by precedent, fairness OF
even common decency.
Senator Pettigrew is credited with
saying, in an interview Tuesday al
Huron, that
"Of course. there is no telling what
viii result from the break made today
There are SO many republicans that cam
be depended upon, even when they takt
part in caucus. The treachery anc
cowardice of some republicans is sur
prising. The democrats are solid and

discord among the republicans. Ever.

whole thing is mixed, and unless tn
republicans get together and work to

party generally, some other party vii

few days, then return to Washington"

WORLDS PAIR.

South Dakota must be represented
creditably at the Columbian exposition
or Worlds fair, to be- held il Chicago in
1898. It is regarded as impracticable
for the state to assume the burden of
providing and arranging such an ex-
hibit. The work must be done by the
citizens of the common wealth. Several
plans therefore have been proposed. A
discussion of them, by representatives
from all parts of the state, would quite
certainly result in arrangements which
would enable a creditable and worthy
display to be made. Alta meeting held
in Sioux Falls, January IA, by repre-
sentatives of the state board of agricul-
ture, the Fine Stock Breeders associa-
ton and the State Dairy association, and
it was decided to call mass meeting to
be held at Pierre on Wednesday, Febru-
airy 4, to include representatives Of the
association named above, also Of the
State Horticultural society, the Poultry
and Pet Stock association, the State
Farmers alliance and similar organiza-
tons, the State Bankers association, the
State Educational association, all mining
and manufacturing interest, district and
county agricultural societies, together
with the boards of trade or other COM
mercial organizations of the different
cities and towns having no such organi-
cations, and of the different counties,
and of all classes and interests which are
willing to take part in the work of help
ing to formulate some plan by which
South Dakota may secure such an ex-
hibit of her resources at the Columbian
exposition as shall let the world see hel
advantages and development. In pursu.
ance of the action taken by the societies
named cordial invitation is extended te
the representatives indicated above tc
meet at Pierre on February 4, and par.
ticipate in the proceedings Of the meet
ing called to be held there on that date
for the purpose specified.

ture. r. B. CoDDINaToN,

Ono of sapo.son.s soldiers.

The Trappist Monastery, situated
in Kentucky, is the home of those
monks upon whom the Injunction of
perpetual silence is placed. The
stories that sift through to the out
side world, with more or less romatic
detail, concerning the individual
monks of La Trappe, are many.
There is one told of brother at
Gethsemane. which is old, but full of
dramatic suggestions. He was a
soldier of Napoleon, so 1t was said.
and after the Emperor's first abdica-
ton took the cowl of the Brown
Brothers," and ultimately came to
Gethsemane. Forty years he lived in
silence, hearing nothing of the worlds

left unquenched. When he came to die
and was lifted from his hard couch
and laid upon the harder floor. strewn
with straw, when all followers OF the
order must meet extremes. the Abbot
as is customary, told him he was at

SPANISH DANCING GIRLS.
1he Fandango rs the Countess de Otere

The Fandango rs the Countess de Oters
Interprets 1t.
Countess Carolina de Otero: Spain
is q nation of dancers. ALI Spaniards,
it may he said. are born dancing and
there would seem to be no need FOR
apologizing for them on that account.
AS rule they are good dancers,
because W hat we le.e tee de de we gener-
ally do we'll. The proverb tells us
that: "A pair of light shoes is not
all that is needed for dancing" and
have found it to be true. The landau
go is the oldest national dance in
spain. especially in the district of
AndalusiaA This dance interprets
what may DO called passionate love
song. The opening is mild bit oil
music. 1t Is danced in couples IN
what Is called three-four time. The
musical accompaniment is a guitar
used to keep time. 1t is a wildly
voiuptuous and exciting dance, and it
seems to be appreciated by New York
audiences. if can Judge from their
applause.
In the fandango as I dance it the
movements are designed to interpret
love-making between a couple. There
are coy Chances on the part of the
woman and smiles on the man. ad-
vances and retreats, feminine coquet-
ries and masculine supplication. and
the eventual triumph, of the man.
Such dance affords large scope
for intelligent pantomime and roman
tic acting. The Free extemporaneous
character of this dance has led to
abuses at times, and in Spain the
Church has sought to sHrpass it,
But when danced as it should be
there is no hint of immodesty about it.
Nearly all dancing in Spain is &C.
companied by neutrality-suspicious. an
impromptu melody. but more often
some song handed down for genera.
tions. and in which all the dancers
can DIN.
Everybody should know .how to
dance. With spanish girls dancing
comes as naturally as eating.

fense guns is described as q lifled

not dynamite or any of the known

The astounding claim is made for this

FARMERS, Alliances.

A correspondent asks The CALL what
will be the result of the cOmbinatioY of The
Farmers Alliance" We are of - Opin-
ion it viii be important, because to farmers
believe that the arrangements Of most OF the
railroads in the agricultural States are in
furious to them. They say the struggle
with the railroads Is TO tax their products to
the utmost; that the railroads have been
manipulated 10 such an extent that they are
deeply in debt made so by men who have
lave become millionaires. The railroad
companies wish TO have the Watered stock
paw, and besides the bleeding process which
las created so many millionaiTes has not
vet come to an end. The farmers in the
agricultural States have seen their Legisla-
lures dominated year after year by scala
wags WHO were sent there by railroad in
tiuence until they Ihaye become tired of
tie abuse. We believe the farmers must
combine or they VIII be trampled under
foot The CALL does not see how affairs
can run along as they are now going. The
farmers will be compelled to combine. and
it is only a matter as to time when this will
put an end to abuses. In the State of Cali
fornia, for instance, we have seen railroads
5ubsidize a steamship line which was under
pay by the General Government, in order to
have it place freight via the isthmus so
high that merchants and others must patron
ize the railroads. We are also told that the
same interest makes an arrangement with
the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company, in
order to shut out competition. THE CALL
does not believe the Farmers Alliance will
look on with Indifference while the same in
fuence tries to beat down the construction
Of the Nicaragua canal If railroads COM
bine to corrupt Legislatures, the public will
IN the end combine effectively.

OUR RELATIONS WITH HAWAII.

The new treaty with Hawaii is said to
provide for free trade between that country
and this. Hawaiian statesmen are, how
ever, represented as dissatisfied with free
trade. They want the American Govern
ment to include the sugar of the Islands in
the bou nty system which has been estab-
liShed to promote the industry of beet sugar
in the United States. The administration
has just concluded an arrangement with
Brazil by which sugar is admitted free from
that country on condition that Brazil ad-
mits certain of our products free. like
arrangement Is likely to be made with other
South American countries and perhaps
with Cuba and Mexico. These arrange
ments are being effected Oh the understand
ing that bounty will be paid to producers
of American sugar. But the free market
held out to these countries as an inducement
to give our products exceptional rates will
be less valuable if the sugar product of the
Hawaiian Islands is also allowed bounty
of cents pound Aside from this, the
idea of giving bounty to the product of
foreign country is absurd. We might in this
way build up an industry of great value to
be used hereafter as bait to other countries
to strive for. Reciprocity with Hawaii has
already developed the principal industry of
these islands to an extent which makes
their trade desirable to Canada and Aus
tralia. 1t is even said that if the United
States does not agree to pay bounty money
to Hawaiian planters the Queen will pro-
pose reciprocity with these British colonies
Reciprocity in any form is a dangerous
blade to handle. Reciprocity with Brazil
under a law that applies 20 whatever coun-
try produces the products we agree to admit
free, may prove an adyanta TO both cOun-
tries, but series of special treaties of re-
ciprOcity with other countries will surely
cause trouble. When Congress wants to
modify tariff laws it will find its hands tied
by the conditions of existing treaties. An
example is found in the Hawaiian reciprocal
treaty. Several years ago we admitted
Hawaiian sugar of certain grades free Last
year when Congress determined to admit
sugar from all countries free under general
law, the Hawaiian Islands complained that
we were depriving them of special privileges
for which they had given us cOnsidefa-
ton. Now, in compensation for these lost
privileges they want bounty on their
sugar product.

COOL. Is 1T NOT?


We rather admire the GOODNESS of the strict
ures of weekly city paper which assails
The CALL for what it terms its attacks
upon some of its newspaper contemporaries.
This is a case where the editor of The
CALL has been assailed for three or four
years past in every possible way by men
who have been subsidized by one or more
corporations. Not an occasion has offered
in which some OF these newspapers which
have received regular stipends from the
Central Pacific Railroad Company have not
attacked and slandered US. When two men
had jointly stolen seventy or eighty thousand
dollars from THE CALL these precious
journalists tried their best to screen the cul-
prits, and to make the persons who had lost
the money appear more guilty than the
thieves, and they openly rejoced when
San Francisco court instructed the jury
in such way that they must screen the
guilty parties unless we could prove how
much money each thief had stolen. Even the
paper which condemns The CALL and has
labored so industriOusly for the railroad
company has been receiving $4,000 annually
for a series Of years has assured the public
over and over again that THE CALL was IN
worthy of confidence. Cool, is it not2
