Letcher Blade: Ralph w. Whee-
lock of TIE MITCHELL DAILY REpUB-
LICAN has an article in Frank Leslie's
Newspaper on the political situation
which is attracting considerable attcn-
tion and favorable comment.
Even our broad-guage friends of the
Independent press have paid the article
referred to the compliment of abusing
it and yet trying to make its conclu-
sions fit their views, but they have not
attempted to refute the presentation of
facts therein. The Woonsocket News
gives fair illustration of this sort of
comment Us follows:
Ralph Wheelock OF Mitchell has late
ly written letter to an eastern journal
in which he shows that the Legislature
of last winter, though it had majority
of Independents and Democrats, was a
very conservative and careful body, and
that the laws they passed were good.
He shows that capital need have no fear
OF such lawmakers, and makes it plain
that the change in the legislature of
the state from lot OF Doodle politicians
labelled "Rcpublican." to a class of
honest, industrious citizens, is Il change
which prudent investors should hail
with pleasure.
The News, however, overlooks the
fact that not single Legislative act of
the aforesaid 'sboodle politicians'a pre-
yious sessions was repealed or amended.
----.=
The Alliances in certain parts OF the
state are taking formal action in oppos-
ition to the Worlds Fair especial session.
Perhaps it's just rs well not to hold one.
Perhaps it is the better plan to let it
90 out to the world that South Dakota,
after all these years of advertising and
with all her splendid resources and
magnificent prospects, is ON the down
grade.

which was told to him by Berber fish

Jeraiduja, or locust owners, who have
control over the locusts, and used to re-

not burned, owing to the men not be-

became locusts. And lately some of
these men came to the Sultan and said:
Have not people been complaining of
locusts? p And the Sultan replied that
they had WE'LL said the Jeraiduja,

Novel Fire Escape.

T. H. Jennings, of Duluth, has per-
fected and patented fire escape which
promises to be an actual protection if
the apparatus will work in practice as
we'll as the model indicates. The ap-
paratus is a form of elevator, attached
to the back of building, with fire.
proof doors leading into it from the
end of each hallway on every floor.
The doors close automatically and the
person entering is at once shut Oft from
the fire. He steps on a platform in the
elevator and his own weight will take
him to the bottom and land him out OF
doors.
The elevator part also works automat-
icallv and cannot be put out OF order
in excitement. The weight Of a child is
sufficient to send the platform to the
bottom, the speed being regulated auto
matically by a common governor at
tached at the top. Any number of
people could be going down at the same
time without increasing the speed.
The platforms are attached to an end
less chain, folding as they pass up and
falling into place as they come down;
The apparatus is very ingenious and
very simple. Mr.. Jennings has named
it the Jennings automatic fire escape,
and is now trying to arrange to put one
into operation. Thus far fire escapes
have been limited to ropes and ladders,
which are often rendered useless either
by the fire or by the rush of people
and the difficulty women and children
have in making use of them. If Mr..
Jennings fire escape proves practlca-
bic, as the working of the model seems
to indicate, it will be of inestimsble
value ana beneft.-Dututh Herald.

An Obsolete Fiction.

An appeal from the taxation of costs
in the suits of Thomas G. &. Bell
against Eliza Dawes gave Judge Arnold,
OF Philadelphia, an opportunity few
days ago to accentuate in an opinion
the changes in the laws of Pennsylvania
governing the relations of man and
wife.
THE law now regards the unity of a
husband and wife as an obsolete fc-
ton," says Judge Arnold. "And it has
accommodated itself to that fact. The
old rule Of law that, on a gift to a man
and wife and third person, the man
and wife together took only half the
property and the third person took the
other 9th: half: is abolished by the modern
legislation in regard to married persons;
each takes third now. Statute law
recognizes that husband and wife are
two persons in substantial matters.
The act Of June 3, 1887, recognizes the
customs and habits of the people and
declares these customs to be lawful.
The common law was the customary
law Of the people declared by the
judges. 1t was the best craftsmanship tor
the faculty to observe what was needed
and then to grant it.
"There was time when husband
and wife were one in the eyes of the
law. The husband, on marriage, took
all the Wife's horses, cattle, sheep and
oxen. He could chastise her, moderately,
say the books, but If he does it now
he will be punished as wife-beater.
A wife was helpmate indeed. She
spun yarn, wove cloth, made frocks
and breaches, and was generally
merged into her husbands pocket if
not into his person. Women who
bring out the spinning wheels of their
ancestors or buy them if they have
them not, exhibit a badge of woman's
bondage. Now, husband and wife
wear clothes made and bought in stores.
In olden times there were no bazaars
and grand depots and establishments of
smaller size in which all that is worn
by man or women could be bought.
Formerly married women were I'M
der an actual disability to buy goods
and make contracts; now they are not,
except that the law of this state, in it's
transition state, still puts the burden
on the store keeper to prove and for
judges and juries to decide, that the
articles sold by him to the woman were
necessary for her, overlooking the fact
that the best judge of what is necessary
for woman sound in mind, body and
estate is herself. Her disability in
this respect is changed into privilege
to get and keep all she can, with an i'm
munity from liability, except for nee
essaries. The next legislature will
change this, no doubt, as it has been
changed in England and in nearly all
tho states y phiZndPlY)hiG Press

Never was the Muse sublime

And at her they poked their fun,

And to rhyme she chung, and clings,
But Whatever song she sings
Scarcely sells.

Artistic Advertising.

Undoubtedly the Ivory Soap people de-
serve credit for the best grade of illustra-
tons now being used for advertising pur-
poses. The series of full-page drawings
which have been appearing on the last
page OF the Century represent some of the
most capable book and magazine artists in
the country. The series must have cOstno
small figure. AS yet the ''way up'' artists
do not sign the work they do for advertiS-
ers, but apprehend that it will not be long
ere we shall see in the advertising columns
such names as George Wharton Edwards,
E. W. Kemble, etc. Such men as these
bring to their work, besides mere mechan-
ical skill, a trained Imagination and an
artistic conception of things. These quail
tiles, when used in connection with adver-
tisements, command scarcely less interest
than when used in the ordinary literary
