The Fidelity.

F. Fl. Hagerty has now lett Aberdeen
with family to take up his residence at
Tacoma, Washington. 1t is not public
ly known what disposition Mr.. III. made
OF his interest as stockholder and treas
urer OF the fidelity Insurance Co. The
Ale .deen Sun is confident that Mr.. H. is
short $4,000. If true Alonzo Wardall
can't be very long in the business, if any.
Yet the Aberdeen News, literally sup
piled with Hagrity stock, has been
punching Wardall. If shame were char
acteristic OF that sheet it would never
have peepcd Wardall's name. Even
Hagerty, the now seli-exlled adventurer,
has never claimed that Wardall invaded
or robbed the treasury. The circum-
stance of Hagerty's failure is being used
to hurt the Alliance, when in fact the Fl
deity was never an Alliance institution.
This country will not mlssjudge the mo-
tives OF rat politicians to hide behind
shares in the Aberdeen News. II Hagerty
is short $4,000, .nat does not convict

The Warning to Wall Street,

. H IA w q StACSNs
The Montgomery (Ala.) Alliance Her.
aid has these brave and truthful words
Regarding Mr.. Cleveland as the ex.
ponent Of Wall street and the tool OF
plutocracy, tho man who contends for
his nomination is ar enemy to his coun,
try, it's institutions and popular liberty.
Read it in the history of the last twenty.
five years. Thirty years ago the agri.
culturalists of this country owned 80 pei
cent. o. its wealth; twenty years age
60 per cent; ten years ago 40 per cent.
in 1890 they owned % per cent. with
three-fourths of that under mortgage.
The financial system of this country
wrought that ruin. That is Wall street
policy and a demonstration of it. Who
wants it continued?
Mr.. Cleveland may be nominated and
he may be elected by the house Of repre-.
sentatives; but if it should happen, two.
thirds Of the states would pass stay laws
and put such a stringent quietus on tbs
exactions of Shylock that the bushes;
interests would be paralyzed for dozer
of years. Push it to the point where thu
farmers have no hope of redemption O
their homes nor any prospect Of getting
out of debt, and they will rise in theil
majesty and protest in such language
that it will shake the world with it,
reverberation. Wall street may get con
troll for four more years, but it will be
worse than Black Friday for it in les:
thaD a year afterward. There is Just a:
much Ireland in this country today al
will be tolerated. There will never bt
much nearer serfdom for the people thai
now-only what two years may bring
forth. 'Self preservation is the first law
of nature" and the people of the United
States know how to exercise self preser
walton in any extremity That may arise.

ouser Kind of Progress.

In 1850 the farmers owned 70 per cent.
of the wealth of the nation; in 1890 they
own less than "a per cent. of the wealth,
and yet pay 80 per cent. of the taxes.
In the old days mortgaged homes were
almost unknown; now we have 5000, DOC
mortgages.
The United States is the largest ten.
ant farming nation in the world. and we
r making progress in this direction
very fast.
Two hundred families as rich as the
Vanderbilts would own every dollar OF
property now in u great country
progress.
One person in each $4,000 today has
more money than all the rest of the
"a, 999-progress.
About $4,000 farmers homes are now
sold out by the sheriff in a year to make
up the balance of the interest account
that the entire crops of the m~ortgaged
farms can't pay-progress.
Three-ffths of the entire wealth of the
United States is $50, $50, 1000, 900, and this
vast sun is owned by one-twentieth OF
l per cent. of the population. This is
great progress. Let us think on these
things.-Mortimer Whitehead, Lecturer

Death of John Halter,

The city was shockedonM after
noon by the report thatJohn Haller had
committed suicide. The following are
the facts as nearly as can be ascertalned.
Mr.. Halter had gone to the Office OF John
Schnuettgen or business matters and
remained Ii the Office while Mr.. Schnuett-
gen went to dinner. During his absence
the deed was done. The republican re
porter who was present says.
"Bent forward slightly, seated in a re.
volving chair, IN the business Office of
John ~Schnuettgen, close to the depot,
sat the %liieless form Of the deceased whom
first seen by the reporter. His head
rested or his right breast, his right arm,
covered with blood, hung over the char
arm. To the casual observer it looked
as if he were asleep. This is what Mr.,
Schnuettgen thought when he first en-.
tered the office, but the pool OF blood,
the revolver living under the office secre.
tary, and the pallor OF death on the face,
Don caused him to realize the stern fact
that John Halter had committed sui.
eide.
The revolver used was a cheap 3S call
bre and the ball entered the right ca,
lodging somewhere in the head"
DR.. Duncan, Mrs. Haller and coroner
Lake were all Immediately summoned.
The Doctor announced that death must
have been instantaneous. A note to his
wife was lying on the desk neal by.
Diseased came from Germany in 1869
andto the Hills in'S3fr from Denver. He
has been engaged in the liquor bushes,
during his residence here. The act is
attributed to financial troubles. The
remains were taken east ON Tuesday
evening.

A Visitor from St Paul.

Among the arrivals in town Sunday
evening was Hon. Lane X. Stone, pres
ident OF the ST.. Paul chamber of COM
staunch friend OF Rapid City and the
Black Hills, Ed Johnson, and is now in
company with Mr.. johnson and Major
Simmons, looking over our town and
surroundings. He expects before leaving
the Hills to visit all the prominent min
ing districts and to thoroughly post HIM
self on the of the country and
from personal observation to learn
something OF what they promise for the
future.
Mr.. Stone is young, active and ag-
gressive man, owning extensive and
valuable interests in real estate, man.
ufacturing and railroads, an excellent
REPRESENTATIVE of the men who have
pushed the development Of the north
west and rendered so large a portion OF
it tributary to the twin cities.
In conversation yesterday he said;
''Though I have been in the Hills but a
short time, I believe 1 begin to appreci-
ate something Of the Importance of the
trade OF this section from which st Paul
is now effectually cut off. I vas pre-
pared by the representations OF Mr..
johnson to find a good country, buthad
not, nor do l believe any OF your people
have, a true conception Of the magnit-
tude and great variety ofyour resources.
st Paul must have direct rail commune
cation with the Hills. We should sell to
your people many things at prices below
those you pay elsewhere. Let the road
from Rapid City to Pierre he pushed to
completion-the road from Pierre to a
direct communication with the Northern
Pacific is assured-and you will see ST.
Paul again actively competing for your
trade. These railways will be Of little
less Importance to st. Paul than to
Rapid City, and I feel that u people
SHOULD put forth every possible effort
to speed the day OF their opening to traf-
iic. So far as my influence may go, be
assured l will use it i'll directing atten-
ton OF our people to this field, which is
not only ofgreat presentimportance, but
of vast possibilities of future develop
ment. st, Paul can't afford to be left
out when the Black Hills trade is
divided."-Daily Journal.

rhe People Against the P@lutocrat.


In the fight that is now on, there are
but two sides. It is the people against
the p~lutocrats; the man against the
dollar. There is no middle ground.
You are either for the people or you are
against them. AS the fight now stands, it
is a dangerous experiment to press any
personal opinion Or private conviction
against the manifest will and conviction
of a clear majority, because this creates
dissension in the ranks and gives aid to
the enemies OF the people. The battle
has commenced; you can not change
your position now. If you withdraw
from one single point, it will be heralded
as a retreat, a defeat. If any mistakes
have b. ! made in Jul platform they
must be remedied after the battle, after
the victory is gained. Meet the enemy
at every point and fight him. Have no
mercy upon the traitor or the coward.
Forward" is the word. Catch it up
and pass it along the line, and close up
the ranks.-National Economist.

Antiquity Of BELLS.

The antiquity OF the bell has often
been a matter of discussion, and
without plunging into classic
ages, Or remembering that both
Pliuy and Strabo mentioned it in
their works, or that the Romans had
doorknockers as well as house bells
like ourselves, it is interesting to con
slider a few more modern instances. In
England, Egbert, the first king Of the
whole country, has the credit of hav-
ing inaugurated church bells, while
Kingston-on-Th ames-the spot where
he was crowned, and where the stone
is still to be seen on which he sat
while the ceremony was performed
claims the honor of possessing the
church in which they were first rung.
