Senator Pettigrew made the follow
ing statement to Il World Herald re-
porter this week on the subject of pol
itics: mo political party can ever
hope to establish itself on firm basis
without frin principle as a founda-
tion. The alliance party as an edu-
cational institution, will result in do
ing much good,bu it cannot last long.
There is no vital issue involved in
their claims for recognition. The
alliance party is said to be opposed to
trusts and monopolics and at the
same time advocates the adoption of
such measures to obtain what they
CLAIM are their jnst dues. l am in
favor of free coinage of silver for the
SIMPLE reason that an increased vol
umc of currency will improve. mon
etary matters and establish sounder
foundation credit for us abroad. There
is no danger in the report that Eng
lang will slut our market with silver.
If from financial point of view such
thing were possible, the market of
India would have been flooded years
ago with English silver money to be
melted for the purpose of recoinage.
That kind of talk is balderdash, and
emanates from the minds of those who
never give the subject second serious
thought. Give us free coinage and a
per capita circulation of $50, and the
United States will be the most pros
porous country on the face of the
globe.

The Aurora Borealis.

Aberdeen News, IA: Last week the
people of South Dakota were favored
with brilliant displays Of the aurora
borealis, or northern lights. One even
ing the display was particularly
bright. Flashes of light darting like
meteors reached the zenith, making
the northern sky at times more lumin-
Gus than the southern horizon where
the moon was brightly shining. Many
regard this extraordi diaary phenomenon
as harbingef of the return of good
crop seasons because, they say, it has
been three years since such illumina-
tions have appeared here, where pre-
viously when the crops were good,
northern lights were common and al
most nightly on exhibition. Whether
there is any connection between favor
able crop seasons and the aurora bore
alis it may be well to Investigate. But
whether it bears any relation to crops
or NOT, it has been notably absent from
Dakota skies for several years and the
present nightly exhibition attfacts q
great deal of attention.

NJ, t., KANABLE.
Acting Coroner.

We clip the following from the
Sioux City Journal: T. H. Conniff,
of Pierre, a member of the worlds
fair commission and vice-president
5f the same, is. not pleased
with the inactivity of some of
the other members, and especially
the president, Fred Evans, who
neglects to call a meeting of the
board. Since Gov. Mellette has
refused to call an extra session of
the legislature after pledges were
secured from enough members to
guarantee that the session would
be without expense to the state,
Mr.. Commit has written to other
members urging them to use their
influence to have a meeting called
so that some other plan might be
devised so that money could be
raised and South Dakota repre-
sented at the worlds fair. Up to
the present time he has been un-
able to get the commission stirred
up. President Evans is from the
Black Hills, and as that section Of
the state is making arrangements
to have an exhibition of its own, il
looks as though the president was
going to let the balance of the state
drop. It is very unfortunate, as
the people of the state have de.
pended upon the commission de.
vising a manner in which, funds car
be raised. Mr.. Commit states that
as vice-president he will cali {
meeting of the commission il
enough members will signify theil
approval of such action.

A Banter to Put Up.

The Shreveport Times of the 10th
published the following communications:
observe that your esteemed contem-
pOrary, the Shreveport Caucasian, Is
want to charge that plnChback, HerWlg
and Baldwin are too be among the {" SIX
other persons associated with john A.
Morris as directors IN the event OF his
securing a lottery license. | know Mr..
Morris personally very we'll. Myself
aud one other young man in this city
were educated by him, the funds having
been placed at our disposal yeals ago,
when there could have been no political
motive involved in the matter in any
way whatever. This inspires me to
write this communication.
Now, if the Caucasian or any of its
friends believes that the charge made is
true, am willing to make the follow
ing wager with the Caucasian or any
reader Of that paper who believes the
statement with regard to the association
of Pinchback, Herwig and Baldwin with
John a. Morris as directors in case the
lottery license is accepted by the peo-
pie;
First, will wager 800 each that not
one Of the names mentioned is assOclat-
ed as Il director with Mr.. john A. Morris
Ill llic loltclS llttuSc 10! HlCil Hc Is ap-
plying.
Second, If 500 is considered too small
a sum to engage attention, | will wager
500 on each name.
Third, | will wager $500 or 5000, if
desired, that | win all the bets on all the
names.
1t is, of course, absurd to wager that
any specific name is not to be among the
stockholders. The editor of the Cauca-
sian may become a stakeholder to-mor-
row, if lie cares to buy the stock. Sales
OF stock are often made. He or | or
any one can become stakeholder with
out trouble by gong into tie open mar
ket and buying stock. So may Pinch
back, HerWig, Baldwin,, VIM. Harper
or anybody else.
am willing to bind myself, in case
| win the bets, to durFatc the sum won
to the poor of the city of Shreveport, to
be distributed by any agency or agen-
cies the Mayor of the city may name.
Any person desiring to accept the con-
dtions of this bet can call at your office
and you can notify me, when the amount
will be placed in the hands of any per-
son deSi grated by yOu, or to be mutual
ly agreed upon by the two parties to the
bet. | have grown so weary of seeking
this charge made Ill tie pubic prints,
when know it to be untrue, that write
this to the end that the public may either
have the charge proved or disproved.
| do not disclose my identity as the
matter is one which does not re-
Quire other action than the placing of
the money in the hands of some respon-
sIbc party.
Yours truly, IEEX.
II is needless to say that the Cauca-
sian failed to put up"
St. Landry democrat., 1891-01-31

Shreveport Times: The Times always
has been and always will be an enthusi-
astic and devoted advocate of better
schools, the patronage of colleges, the
up building of factories, mills, found
ries, etc. But it is acknowledged by
journals not swayed by any sentiment
for or against the lottery, that the pub
lie schools are deficient in means and
edifiees to make them efficient; that
public institutions lack needed reve-
nues; that the limit of taxation has
been reached under the law. Hence it
is urged that it the people are adverse
to voluntary taxation or donations for
these public purposes, the only recourse
Is through those channels which afford
q legitimate addition to the funds for
state expenditures on its public institu-
tons. We have failed to discover that
licensed lottery is more or even as
greatly reprehensible as many of the oc-
equations followed in every town and
city in the State, on which a license is
imposed and from which revenues are
received without question or cavil.

Another questions: If the liquor traf-

tainly not. And yet it is licensed by

sue, to oppose any restrictive intcrter-
ence with it. The evils of the liquor

Senator Cullom the other day said
that the declaration of the Southern
States to the effect that they would re-
fuse to appropriate money for the
Worlds Fair if the force bill were PASS
ed by the Senate, was nothing but a
bluff, but now that the news comes
from New York that its Legislature will
also decline to make an appropriation,
he will no doubt realize that the opnosi,
ton to the Force bill is dreadfulIv sin
cere, and that the Democracy Of the
country intends to make the Renuhli-
can party suffer in more ways than one
if the obnoxious measure is nusheG
through the Senate. At the present
time the indications are that New York
and Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana and Mich-
igan will stand with the South, and re-
fuse to be represented at the Fair mn
less the Republican Senators consent to
abandon the force bill, and this thew
are very likely to do ter the reason tl,at
the talk in political circles in Washing
ton is to the effect that the Democrats
and a number of Republicans who are
opposed to the bill have reached an
agreement, the basis of which is that
