The complaint is frequently made by
labor agitators and social reformers
that many persons occupying positions
where they might accomplish much
good take no interest in aiding move
ments calculated to better the condi-
tion Of laborers. Many reformers go
farther and denounce as dishonest all
who dare to differ from them upon
matters Of public policy. Now that
much oppression does exist-that in
many cases capitalists take unfair adj
vantage Of those depending upon them,
no n will deny, but that the position
of laborers the world over is improving,
must be admitted by all who have in
vestigated the matter, Those who so
ardently hope to regenerate society by
means of some cur all reform in a
very brief time, forget several import
ant facts. They should aim to make
converts to their faith rather than to
denounce every one that dees not agree
with them. Let them show that the
measure they advocate possesses real
merit and their cause will take care Of
itself. Agitators themselves hold the
most widely different views as to the
best policy for beneitting the masses.
One proposes as a remedy for every
evil q single tax based upon land
values, another champions the cause of
socialism or nationalism, while a third
goes to the other extreme and insists
that the only thing necessary to bring
about the millennium is the abolish
ment Of all forms Of government.
These three theories with many others
Of less Importance may we'll cause the
prudent man to think we'll before be-
coming attached to anything SO dan
gerous to our existing institutions.
Government will be made better with
mt adopting anything so revolution
ary. The slow movement Of the
masses is towards reform and q better
condition will be evolved through a
gradual development.

A Denver man named Luckenbach
makes affidavit that an agent of the
Bank of England told him that that
institution secured by bribery the de-
monetization of silver in this country.
1t may be in order now to ask how
much of a br,be Luckenbach received
for this alleged betrayal of confidence.
Colorado mine owners are making the
most desperate efforts to secure legisla.
tion that will benefit themselves, no
matter how it may effect the people at
large. 1t is TO be presumed that the
silver men will now demand remoneti-
zation on account Of the supposed
fraud employed in adopting the gold
standard. But it matters not even if
there was fraud. That of itself does
not necessarily make free coinage de-
slrable. The silver men will have to
produce better arguments before they
can hope to convince a majority Of the
people.

The Methodist General Conference
is considering the question as to how
the church may strengthen itself with
the laboring classes. 1t is thought that
the church dues not possess near 50
much influence among laboring men
as 1T does among the wives and daugh-
ters of laborers and a plan will be
adopted whereby the church may come
more in contact with the toiling masses.
This is certainly a step in the right di-
rection. 1t is about time that all
christian denominations became fully
alive to the Importance of work that is
needed right here in our own country.
Legislation favorable to the masses
will never be enacted until the people
are educated so that they NAV under
stand fully what is for the best inter-
ests of the country at large. The
ministers OF the Gospel can WELD a
most potent influence over their con-
gregations if they only work upon
proper lines. The idea Of making men
good by statutory laws is becoming
obsolete. What is needed is more edu-
cation. The people will then become
better citizens and the need for many
acts of legislation will pass away. A
fertile field is open for the churches
and it is a hopeful sign to see such a
powerful organization making prepa-
rtions to take up the work.

Beach, known as the Seaside Landing,

The burned district comprises about

The assurances are comparatively
small, in many instances there being
not a dollar of insurance. The origin of
the fire is yet unknown. No theory is
advanced except that the museum,
where 1t started, was set Oh fire.

SIOUX FALLS, Sept. 21.-There is a
great big howl going up over the out
come of the state fair. Furthermore,
there is great big sensation brewing.
During the fair everybody remarked
how much larger the attendance was
this year than last. Just imagine the
surprise when the announcement was
made that the receipts were $1,000 less
than last year.
Your correspondent had an inter-
view with Secretary Downey. of the
state board, last evening. "Am 1 sur
prised?" said Mr.. Downey. well. l
should say so. On Monday evening, for
was my candid opinion that the receipts
for the day would exceed those of the
corresponding day of last year by at
least $1,000. When l was informed
later in the evening that the receipts
had fallen below last year for the same
day by $500, would not believe it. l
insisted that there must certainly be
some mistake, and asked for recount
of the tickets. This was done, but the
result was not changed. am morally
certain that there has been leakage
somewhere, but where it is is what is
bothering me-"
Mr.. Downey expresses the opinion of
almost every one of an observing ma
ture. 1t is conceded by all that the at
tendance was thousands larger this year
than last; still the receipts ran $1,000
behind those of last year.
The amphitheater seats 5000, and on
two days the structure was crowded:
but the largest sum returned for any
day was SSl5.
The state board of agriculture has
called meeting for Oct. 5, when a
thorough investigation will be made in
hope the leakage may be discovered.
