LEPERs FROM Ew YORK.
They are Turned Loose In Victoria, Caus-

SEATTLE, Washington, Nov. 12.-Intense
excitement prevails at Victoria on account
of the turning loose there of the two
Chinese lepers, who arrived from New
York about two months ago. They had
been under guard i'm shanty down 10y the
bay. but thr ,ctoria City Council refused
to bear any more expense, and so the
guard was removed. AS soon as the
doors were thrown open the lepers started
for Chinatown, but they were Stunned by
all their fellow-countrymen and could
not get shelter. Then they came back to
the city and all day wandered up and
down the principal business streets in the
rain, appealing personally for help to the
passers-by
Every one gave them wide berth, and
finally they returned TO their shanty. Both
the Provisional Government and the Pa
cifc Railroad refused TO contribute
toward the support OF the wretches. Some
fears are entertained here that an attempt
will be made To smuggle them into the
United States.

A ROMANTIC STORY.
How Letter to President Cleveland

How Letter to President Cleveland
Assisted fn Finding a Lost Child.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., July ia
daughter Of B. r. Balch arrived in the
county day OF two ago to visit with
her father on the Crow Greek reserva-
ton. There is history in connection
with this meeting between father and
daughter that reads like a leaf from
some romance. Fifteen years ago Mr.,
Balch resided in Missouri. AG-year-old
daughter was stolen from him ut that
time, ami although detectives were at
once employed to lrace her. continuing
their search for many years, no clue to
the whereabouts of the lost one could
be found. MIR. Balch, who is a badly
crippled veteran of the civil war, re-
moved to Fargo, N. D., some years ago,
and while there made application by
an increase of pension. The letter to
and, coming under the observation Of
u Washington newspaper correspond
mt, it was telegraphed to all sections of
the country.
The daughter, now grown to young
womanhool, had been taken TO Texas
by her nbductors, aud was in that state
when the Washington correspondent
telegraphed Mr.. Balch's letter to the
newspapers throughout the land. The
item met the daughters eye, and she
Immediately wrote her father, telling
him of her whereabouts. The father
was completely overcome by the glad
aeWs that his long-lost daughter was
still aliys; The dilughter,, wishing to
complete her edanafiop, sg;ss unable to
reach here until this Tins, and the
meeting between father and child after
the long years of separation can be bet

railroad men would be in session for
three days, Still there was bare posi-

was brought up for discussion and CON

Argus-Leader: Hon. Robert Buch-
anan in letter printed elsewhere. de-
MES that Hiram G. Wheeler is a sstele-
phone farmer" He admits, however,
that Wheeler is more of an overseei
than an actual farmer.
MITCHELL REPUBLICANS: Do the
accomplished editors of the Argus
Leader set their own type and run thei,
own presses? And yet they will hardly
deny that they are practical newspaper
men who oversee, superintend and di-
rect the operation of their own plant. :.
Argus-Leader: But they don't claim
to be printers, because they own and
superintend the publication of news
paper. And they don't claim to be
pressmen because they employ a man to
run their presses. Newspaper men
they are, but practical printers and
practical pressmen they are not.
Wheeler may be an S'agriculturalist, .
but he is not a farmer.
According to that logic, then, far
mer is a man who does all his own
work, who is his own choreboy, his own
hostler, his own mower and reaper. his
own stacker of hay, etc. The AL.
knows better and ought to acknowledge
itself cornered.

The esteemed Mail, which is prone to
attribute all the ills that flesh is heir to
to prohibition, just as our Independent
friends blame the existing political con-
ditions for the same ills, has a lengthy
dissertation upon the disturbance of last
Sunday night, based on the following
premises:
That which all prohibition towns
have experienced in greater or lesser
degree has occurred in Mitchell. 1t is
the result of the rigid rule of oppres-
sion, the iron rod of prohibition.
THE REPUBLICAN has not to revert
yery far into the past to recall the good
old wide open times, when license pre-
vailed in Mitchell and everybody was
at liberty to get as full as he could hold
as often as he felt like it, with none to
modest or make him afraid-when var
ious we'll known, popular resorts were
the scene almost weekly of boisterous
outbreaks lasting away into the morn
ing, beside which the little racket of
last Sunday night was Sunday school
picnic-when pistol shots were not in-
frequent, and when ofttimes the target
was not worthless cur but a human
being-when the efforts of the officers
to preserve peace and quiet were openly
laughed at, if indeed the officer was not
assaulted for his pains-when there was
much boasted liberty, chiefly for the
saloon and it's habitues, and there was
no effort at repression either at night
OF on Sundays.
If the logic of our neighbor is sound,
that the efficacy of system is judged by
its results, then the history Of the sa-
looa business right here in Mitchell is
worth taking into account. Ii prohibj-
.tion is TO be held responsible for the
foolish conduct of a lot of young men
.for one night out OF three hundred and
:sixty-five, where lies the responsibility
ifor the riotous and comparatively
hawless state of things that existed in
the good old times when The saloon ran
wide open. and nobody was raplessed a
little bit? It's no more than fair to con-
slider both sides of this question while
we are aboutit.
