WHAT mas BECOME OF THEN.

The total independent vote In the state as
given by Chairman clough OF the republican cen,
trail commute is 12.S6o. Last year the third
party polled over $4,000 votes. 1t will now
puzz,e the independent mathematicians OF the
state to reconcile these facts with the statement
that Independence is a growing political factor
one-tlaif its strength and this after an active
campaign and i'll the face of the oath-bound
duty OF all good INDEPENDENTS to vote: what
has become of the 15,t 90? Were they really
independents last year or have they fallen
away from the party. 1t is probable that four
fiftls OF the full independent strength. was out
yet there is a shortage OF l2,OOo.
Who will believe, i'll view oil these facts. that the
Independent movement is growing i'll South Da-
.kota?
The Republican has chosen a compre-
hensive subject, but only attempts to
handle one-third OF it. 1t is strange
that the independent party did not poll
a larger vote. We did not expect that
terrible oath which has been originated
10y republican journals, would amountto
as much as the obligation Of the repub-
lican league which requires members to
stand by the nomination OF the party,
good or bad, but we did think that the
independent party had fewer stay-at-
homes than the others. The lesson
every independent must commit to
memory Is that there are drones in the
new as well as the old parties and an
other fall steps must be taken to get
them to the polls.
But secondly. What has become OF the
republican vote in South Dakota? Last
year the party cast 34,553 votes and
this fall, according to republican lnfor-
nation, only 1854. What has become
OF the 1860? Have they swallowed
the oft repeated assertions OF their par
ty press, that the farmer can only OBJ
tain relief by better methods OF farming
and more economical modes Of living,
and in their dispair committed suicide,
or have they all emigrated to Canadaf
Is the grand, old party dead? How else
can the vote be accounted for. A state
which has given a republican majority
ri 10000 reduced to a plurality OF less
than 5000 and only casting, for the
best man in the republican party, 49,
9S4 votes? But we do not wonder that
our republican contemporary does not
dwell upon this personal aspect OF the
question. But we do wonder that it did
overlook the thirdly OF the question.
Where! Oh! where is democracy? Where
are the tried and the true? The faithful
ones who never miss a vote, rain or sun
shine and always vote the ticket
straight? a year ago they were 1887
strong, today but 6,S74 votes appear.
Where are the lost 1868? Echo an
swers where.
The old parties better accept the face
OF the returns in South Dakota. II they
go behind them it is they that will need
mathmeticians.

The Tanned Horses Frantic Struggles to
Rejoin HIS Will Companions.
A noted horseman of the West one
familiar with the wild horses of the
plains, relates the following incident
of which he was a witness, and which,
he said, made his NERVES tingle."
Near the forks Of the North and South
Platte he came upon about two hundred
wild horses in q drove.
was mounted on my own mustang.
He saw them and lifted his head high
into the air. at the same time paving
the earth with his fore feet and snort
ing expectantly. Every one of those
wild horses lifted his head on hearing
that neigh of WELCOME from my steed,
and they all stood still.
One magnificent black stallion, which
appeared to be the leader OF the troop,
after looking at me for a moment came
toward me with an easy, graceful
stride and took position in front of his
followers. He was the finest specimen
of horselesh I ever saw. His tail
swept the ground, and his name hung
to his shoulders. His skin shone like
q looking-glass in the morning sun
light.
My mustang became so excited that
l made haste to tie him to a tree.
Soon after the black stallion gave his
head a toss and started on a rapid trot
across the prairie, the entire band fol-
lowing him in single file. After going
about half a mile the band returned,
the magnificent black still leading.
They came within one hundred yards
of me. and the leader whinnied as if
to invite my horse to join them.
My poor Jack! I pitied him. He
stood looking at the wild rovers, his
lariat drawn taut, and as the leader
whinnied he made the most frantic
struggles for freedom. Sweat came
from every pore; he wouldn't have
been wetter il he had done a thirty
mile race.
Twas afraid he would break away, so I
fred my rife into the air to brighten
the drove, and the leader took the
hint and galloped of, followed by the
others, and Jack oalmed down after q
while.-Youth's Companion.

The Catholic Church.

At a Roman Catholic conference in
Wigan Father Power declared that
never since Elizabeth's reign had the
prospects Of the Catholic church been
darker in England" In most parts of
the country it was not only losing
numbers relatively but absolutely.
Liverpool was the only diocese which
showed an increase of Catholics, and
that was not in proportion to the in
crease Of population. Emigration to
America. apostacy and the aversion
of young men to matrimony were the
reasons.

The new book OF lecturer Scott on the

wonderfully clear and comprehensive
statement and argument. 1t is certain
to become THE standard work on that

THE witchery of pass is a power
that would have made Cotton Mather
vince. This is understood by managers
of railways and theaters. These astute
men can get more in return for a d. H.
ticket than for any reasonable amount
of money. The grand jury, it is ru-
mored, has been inquiring into the use
of railroad passes by members OF the
city government. 1t is very doubtful
whether, If true, there is an infraction
of the law. Some very interesting de-
velopments might result from an in
quiry into the same proposition in re-
gard to state officials, however, who are
forbidden by the constitution to accept
such passes.

HIS EYE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
Story of a Young Nan who Was Bount
70 Make a Lawyer.

Story of a Young Man Who Was Bound
70 Make "A Lawyer.
What is the chief characteristic of
"born lawyer?" Some people fancy that it
is audacity; but audacity has, perhaps,
spoiled lawyers success as often as it has
made it. Craftiness, another quality often
attributed to lawyers as a class, is as likely
to get them into trouble as it is to win
them cases. The real master quality of
good lawyer, according to many modern
authorities, is a genius for details'-an
ability to see through case to the utter
most particular, and keep everything in
mind ready for use at the right moment.
The following story has probably been
told by more than one lawyer to illustrate
this fact:
A lawyer advertised for a clerk The
next morning his Office was crowded with
applicants, all bright and many suitable.
He bade them wait until all should
arrive, and then ranged them in a row
and said he would tell them story, note
their comments and so judge whom he
would choose.
"A certain farmer" began the lawyer
twas troubled with red squirrel that got
in through hole in his barn and stole his
seed corn. He resolved to kill the squirrel
at the first opportunity.
Seeing him go in ut the hole one noon
he took his shotgun and fired away. The
first shot set the barn on fire."
Ibid the barn burn?" said one of the
boys.
The lawyer, without answer, continued,
"And seeing the barn on fire the farmer
seized q pail of water and ran to put it out"
''Did he put it outS" said another.
"As he passed inside, the door shut to
and the barn was soon in flames. When
the hired girl rushed out with more wa
teri
"Did they all burn up9'' said another
boy.
''Then the old lady came out, and all was
noise and confusion, and everybody was
trying to put out the fire"
"Did any one BURN upS" said another
The lawyer said, 'There, that will do;
you have all shown great interest in the
story"
But observing one little bright eyed fell
low in deep silence, he said, NOW, my lit
tie man, what have you to sayf"
The little fellow blushed, grew uneasy,
and stammered out, 81 want to know what
became of the squirrel; that's what want
to know"
you'll do,' said the lawyer; "you are
my man. You have not been switched off
by a confusion and barn burning, and the
hired girls and water pals. You have kept
your eye on the squirrel. ."-Youth's Com

Setting Him Right.

A rather dense British nobleman, who

and who was the recipient of much cour.
tesy, left the Hub after few weeks visit,
for the inevitable expedition to the Rock
les, which every Englishman considers an
essential part of an American experience.
On his return he again visited Boston and
again bethought himself of calling at a
house where ne had frequently dined on
his former visit. In answer to his ring
the old butler, who had been in the family
for many years, came to the door.

CoULD there be anything more un-
seemly and unwise than the persistent
determination OF the government to
pursue the Itata case. Had Balmaceda
succeeded and crushed the insurgents,
there might have been some excuse of
policy for this persistency, however
much we might have deplored the mean
ness of the administration in helping a
tyrant to destroy the liberties of free
people. But to strain every letter of
the law and to set up new and doubtful
interpretations of international practice
in order to bring the Itata within the
scope of its prohibitions, is course
altogether unworthy government like
ours, and as opposed to the wishes OF
our people as it is indefensible and un-
polite on the grounds of the comfy
that should exist between two republics.
The battle of Placilla has changed the
status of the Itata. If before she was
an irregular cruiser, she is now legiti-
mate Chilean transport.
