Every two weeks an excursion is made
for these tiny toilers.
The good results will be only second
to those of the fresh air fund At the
first excursion this season many of these
little girls who had never seen anything
but back tenements and dirty alleyways
wept when they saw the country and
the water Some gathered oyster shells
to plant in their meager back yards, that
crop Of oysters might grow for their
delectation Others shouted and ran like
demented beings. One child lay prone
upon the grass, her face to the earth,
nearly all day, and just before leaving
this poor little mother flung herself down
and passionately kissed the ground, cry
ing out: "Goodby, dear earth. shall
never see you again.

Who Owns the Country

In this country Of ours we have
two governments. Benjamin Har-
rison is the president of one and
Jaw Gould of the other. We elect
the men to office and Gould cap
lures them after they get there. A
bag of money in lobby is better
than speeches and torchlight pro-
cessions. You say it is dema-
goguery in me to say this. How
about John Wanamaker, then, who
says SIS, 900 was offered one mem
Der of congress to work against his
postal telegraph scheme. For my
part, don't see the difference.

The Republican Party and the
Old Soldier.


The Republican party leaders, and
Republican papers have kept up a
continual hue and cry, of their
affection for the old soldier, but
when the howl is investigated, it
reminds one of the thief mingling
in the crowd, and crying, "stop
thief" loudest of all.
The Democratic party failed to
carry the soldier vote because OF
certain things that belong to the
war period, and that estranged the
bulk Of the soldier element What
at first was a reasonable dislike
grew into an unreasOning prejudice,
and so sure were the Republican
leaders of the soldier vote, when
votes were bought, that the vote
buyers were instructed to "use no
money on soldiers and 'niggers,' for
they were sure Of their vote any
how" This partisan blindness Of
the old soldier kept the Republican
party in power, even although that
party paid the soldier in dollar
worth fifty cents, but paid the bond
holder in a dollar worth one hun
dred cents. The old soldier kept
the Republican party in power for
it's supposed friendliness to liberal
pension policy, but was taxed indi-
rectly, to not only pay the pension,
but also to enrich eastern manufac-
turers. The old soldier kept the
Republican party in power, believ-
ing that it was liberal in granting
homesteads to the landless, but
awakens from the dream to find that
"a mortgage adversely had forced
from him-had taken his home f; and
the old soldier, old indeed, after
hard service in the army, long years
of toll in broken health, must die a
pauper. This is no. exageration for
we venture the assertion that nine
tenths Of the men who fought on
many a bloody field, in spite of the
six and one-fourth cents per day
pension, will die homeless, through
Republican legislation.

In the same issue of the Presby-
terrain the following fling was at the
new Peoples party:
The Peoples party, is the title of
the new political party inaugurated
by the convention at Cincinnati.
The title indicates something of a
demagogueic spirit, that seeks for a
new order Of things in the political
world Wild schemes are proposed
for the removal of evils, real and
supposed. The demands made COW
er vast range Of subjects, except
ing only, and always, and under all
circumstances, the prohibition Of
the liquor traffic. The saloons are
sacred to these reformers. With
many, experience counts for
nothing.
Why it is certain religious (O
spapers will continually harp i'll such
hypocritical cant, cannot under
stand. very much question
their religious sincerity. At all
events, it comes with very bad
grace from such quarter. They
know well enough when they say
that the Peoples party is for the sa-
loon, that they simply lie. But the
fact is, they are so welded to the
so-called grand old party that
they are partisan blind to the fact
that prohibition will never be ac-
complished through the great par
ty of morality and reform O.
Now it looks like it would be &C
complished in that party, don't it,
with the vice-president of the Unit
ed States, running one Of the big
gcst rum holes in the country, the
president of the United States
swinging around the circle accom-
panied with carload Of "Oh-Ben-

dorsing the California wine mer-
chants to the tune Of about one

samples, and recently the disgrace

gressmen going to bury dead

have the so-called religious papers
ranting about the new Peoples par
ty being in the interest Of the
liquor saloon, simply makes folks
feel tired. You arraign the Peoples
party and accuse them of what you
think they will do, and you have no
right to accuse them beforehand,

THE KbrToR Of the Hawarden H.
dpeHdn kthinks that the north end
Of the comfy will Register a kick"
against tfe building Of a bridge
across thsi3ig Sioux river east Of Elk
Point, and that they have already
paid enough to build bridges for Elk
Point, OF words to that effect.
For TIN information Of the Inde-
pendent editor and those Of our
readers Who may entertain similar
ideas, W will say, that each Of the
three commissioners districts spends
its own bridge money. At least this
has been the case as long as we have
known any thing about such mat
ters. The first district keeps the old
Sioux Bridge in repair; the Second
has but Two or three bridges across
the Hrulesa and none across the Sioux;
the third has two bridges at Akron,
one at hwarden and one at CAL
Hope, in Che construction and re-
pair Of which more or less Of this
.county's funds have been used, be-
sides twelve or fifteen bridges cro
the Brule that we think ofnow. 1t
is true that the Second district had
a bridge across the Sioux at Grill Il
Co.'S. Mill but the flood of 81 washed
it away. To ~"register kicks" against
any thing done at or near a
county seat has become a chronic
ailment, in many localities, though
that A,ay be nothing but the spirit
of the times; but If each county
commissioner practically disposes of
the bridge fund paid by his district,
and the Second district needs a
bridge across the Sioux, we think it
should be built, even though the
spirit of the times may be against it.
The records of this county show in
which district every cent of bridge
money has been expended, for at
least ten or twelve years, il our
memory serves us correctly.
