still one of the Republicans he

That Bloody Shirt.

In less than one year the people
of South Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas will awaken to Il realizing
sense Of the depth of degradation
to which they have sunk. They
have permitted the great reform
move to be effectually worked by
BOrbOn Democrats and rebel bri ga
xliers. Kansas has swapped brains
for whiskers and has adopted the
sbludgeon, bowie knife and shot
gun in the place Of argument. The
Istate is in the hands of an oath
bound organization led by despera-
does and as relentless in it's purpose
al was the ku-klux of the South
during the days Of reconstruction.
This condition Of things will retard
the material growth of the state for
4 long time to come. The rebel yell
is now heard on the prairies Of that
stAte Is in the days OF Quantrel and

have at last, we believe. gotten their
heads into Il halter. In 1850 Mr..
Donnelly opposed Washburn for con
gress and contested his seat. out of
which grew very malignant letter,
written by the notorious Bill King,
charging Mr.. Donnelly with all the
crimes known in political bribery
which Mr.. Donnelly denied, and
undertook to prosecute his dcfamers,
but was defeated. And On Monday
the Pioneer Press reproduced this
letter, when Mr.. Donnelly at once
instituted another suit for 500, 900,
retaining w. W. Irwin to conduct
the case.
The chances are, the Sage is in
better shape financially to defend
himself than before. and will DO all
in his power to bring his systematic
traducers and blackmailers to de-
served. punishment. OF course the
political patronage of Minnesota and
that from Washington will be
arrayed against MI. Donnely in
this stupendous undertaking, but lie
in addition to more money has more
friends and a good sentiment to
back him, which will help.
The very fact that Mr.. Donnelly
has been shamefully treated these
many years, and the disgraceful way
he was misrepresented in the late
contest for the presidency of the
Alliance, all tended TO really aid
him in the election: so that instead
Of these poisonous lies having the
desired effect they serve as a
boomerang, and 1t is hoped that the
last onslaught will land the sage
into the United States senate.

The South Dakota statesmen hay

The South Dakota statesmen have
finally decided upon and elected
State Senator j. III. Kyle of Aber-
deem, to the United States senate.
Mr.. Kyle is 30 years of age ANA IL
Congregational minister, and seems
to have been selected on account of
views expressed in fourth of July
oration, last year at Aberdeen. lie
goes in as an Independent, pure and
simple, pledged, it is said, to the
best interests OF the state. AS in
North Dakota the Democrats broke
the dead lock, really making the
senator, and are greatly pleased with
the outcome. They OF course had
no chance to elect Tripp.

The Grand Forks Herald 1T is
strange passing strange. Only a
few weeks ago Congressman Hans
brough was the most ultra of ratli-
cal Republicans-the highest of high
tariff men, and the vociferous of
all Republicans in advocacy of party
measures pending in congress.
But now. alas a change has come
over the spirit of his dreams. He's
agin' nearly all the Republican
measures, and announces through
the Pioneer Press that he will vote
for the free coinage of silver when
it comes before the house again as
Il separate measure. 1t is only Il
few weeks since that Mr.. Hans
hrough voted with his party against
the silver bill.

Washington Letter.
he Editor OF Tic Times

AslllNGToN, Feb. l:i, 1891.
Senator Plumb does not agree
with the majority of his party upon
financial matters, nor upon the
tariff, hui when it comes TO a qucs-
ton of government pap, which is the
keystone of the latter day Bcpubli-
can arch, he is Republican to the
backbone. He has just given ample
evidence of this by fathering the
boldest attempt yet openly made for
overriding the sanctimonus fraud
known as the civil service law.
lie has introduced IL Joint resoIu-
tion providing tliat stenograplers,
clerks. chiefs of divisions, copyistS
and computors in the census Office
shall be eligible for transfer 10 the
classified service in any of the
government departments. That
means that Il couple of thousand
Republicans are, as they are dropped
from Tive rolls of the census bureau.

without going through a civil service
examination it also means that all
Of the Democrats now in the classi-
fled service are TO he discharged to
make room for those whose Repub-
iicanism Mr. Porter of the census
bureau has vouchcd for under oath.
Every one knows that the civil
service law is Il colossal humbug,
and there would be no grief if it
was repealed tomorrow. but that is
no excuse for such schemes to tram
pie under foot law of the land as
this one is.
He is a pretty thick-skinncd man
who cannot in these days be reached
by public opinion. Representative
Dinglry has found it necessary to
defend his silver pool investigating
committee from the charge Of not
attempting to get all information
possible of the witness, Owenbv,
who was before the committee last
week. Mr.. Dingley's denial is
almost a reiteration OF the charge.
He says the committee was anxious
to have Owenby testify to what lie
had personal knowledge Of, but that
it objected to his giving hearsay
evidence, and yet Mr.. Dingley knows
very well that the speculations in
silver of these two eminent Repub-
licans, Senator Cameron and kepre-
sentative Taylor, Of Illinois, were
first brought out by hearsay evil
dence. but perhaps that was the
very reason that he objected to any
more Of it. lie doesn't want any
more Republicans found out, and
they are not likely to be, unless some
enterprising newspaper man does it.
