Sioux FALLS, S. D., is considering q
novel proposition-at least in this country,
though it has been tried with great success
in Sweden. 1t is to take charge Of the whole
saloon business, and establish in the city q
number of liquor dispensaries, as postofices
are established by the United States. This
system has many advantages. In Sweden
it is governed by strictest rules, which
greatly diminish the evils of intemperance.
No treating is allowed, no sales of liquor on
credit, no sales to drunken men or to those
in the habit of getting intoxicated. No bar
room can be made lettering place or the
resort of vicious characters. No one is to
be encouraged to drink, and the profits on
the sale of liquors are appropriated to the
support Of poorhonses, schools. and roads.

feeling rather dismayed at his extravaganza,
when he was treasured by seeing very seedy-
looking parsonage seated st a table near him.
He was further Gained as to the prices By
hearing this seedy person order far better
dinner than he himself had. But when tha
waiter presented the bill for payment, this

SUNDAY LAWS AND THE WORLDS FAIR.
The protests of the Seventh Day Baptists
and others against legislation closing the
Worlds Fair on Sunday, on the ground that
this is a commitment of the United States
Government to union of religion and the
State" brings up question that we have here
tofore discussed in these columns in connec-
ton with q case which is now on its way to
the Supreme Court from the State of Ten
nessee.
While we are strongly in favor of rigid
Sunday law, strictly executed, we believe
that this cannot be maintained on q religious
basis. 1t must be based on secular reasons
in order to be enforced by the courts. In
other words, we feel confident that when
the Tennessee case reaches the Supreme
Court that tribunal will decide that no State
has the right to make laws enforcing the
religious observance of Sunday. But If the
court goes beyond this, it will affirm that
the police powers of the States are ample for
securing the observance of Sunday as day
of rest for sanitary and economic reasons.
States have the power to say when men
shall begin and leave off work and business,
and many OF them exercise this power IN
prescribing hours of labor in mines, factories,
etc. All scientists agree that rest of one day
in seven is necessary for the health and best
efforts of workers In order to secure to all
the proper amount of rest, it is necessary that
the day set apart for it be universally OBJ
served, and it comes within the duties of
the State to compel this observance in the
interest of the public. This is the logical
and American basis of Sunday laws, and the
one upon which these must rest, since any
religious regulation is forbidden by the Con-
stitution and the spirit of our institutions;
and, Furthermore, any attempt to make Sun
day legally tie sacred day of the week must

important bodies of our citzens--the Jews
and Adventists-who regard Saturday as the

We regard the opposition to the opening
of the Worlds Fair on Sunday as ill-judged
OF course we would not have the Exhibition
running at full blast, as on weekdays. The
machinery sh6ald be shut down, and all
departments which require any labor in ex-
hibiting should be closed But the picture
galleries and all the "still" exhibits should
be open for the immense throngs which will
fill the city and be compelled to pass the
long day very tediously and unprofi tably if
they are denied access to the Fair Grounds.
No possible harm can come to their minds
and souls by being permitted towalk through
the galleries and buildings any more than
would come to them from walking through
the streets and parks. while they would be
likely to gain great good.

down, and the schooner slid under the stern Of

That this meeting of agricultural laborers deeply

caused by low wages, and believes that the chief
cause of their poverty is insufficient pay, unsani-

the forms Lie faces
OF those who stood by us in those trying times!
But SO many have gone from the ranks and their
places,
That it nightly shortens the original lines.
Hard marching and fighting we all well remember
And everything trying to body and soul;
But one thing we had that was genuine pleasure,
Twas the old coffee kettle that hung on pole,
The sheet-iron kettle, the musty old kettle,
The old coffee-kettle that hung on pole.
Thirteen dollars a month for standing as targets
For heaps of cold lead, and iron and steel;
But they say we the better for what we endured
then,
And we can't make point on a Senator's deal.
We ate salt horse and bareback in all kinds OF
weather,
Some rations we drew. some others we stole;
But still, my old ehums we will always remember
The old coffee-kettle that hung on a pole.
The sheet-iron kettle the musty old kettle.
The old coffee-kettle that hung on pole.
Now most of US, comrades are feeble old cripples,
Our heads growing gray with the fast feeting
time;
But though still In this world our mnster-roll
shortens,
We know it grows long In n happier cline.
Soon ali of us. comrades, must pass over Jordan.
And leave all we have for q ferryman's toll;
But never till then they make US surrender
The old coffee-k kettle that hung on pole.
The sheei-iron kettle the musty old kettle,
The old coffee-kettle that hung pole.

AS Others Sees Us.

The promoters ofthe Mckinley tariff
meant Il to push forward the policy
of America for the Americans. One
method ofrealizing It was to keep all
work within their own dominions.
The country was to be made sel1-sup"
plying; what could be produced ut
home was not to be bought abroad.
That was the keynote of the Mcktn-
10y scheme, and 1t Is working out the
idea of its designers with the prcct-
sion and effectiveness of u machine.

Americans we are.

all the world beside.
We believe in our own countrymen
before the subjects of any and all for
eign powers.
We believe in keeping within our own
borders all the employment We are able

We do not believe in having any
thing made abroad that can be made
at home.
We believe in making our country
self-supplying, self-supporting, as indie
pendent ipdustrially as it is politically.
We endeavored through the McKin-
ley act to accomplish this result as we
never had endeavored SO to do before.
1t fatters our national pride to be told

"acheme is working out of the idea of
its designers with the precision and eff
fectiveness of a machine"
1t is fortifying our old industries and
giving us new ones with new work and
wages. 1t is giving us the best grip on
our home market that We ever had and
the largest foreign trade.

for taxation. There is no law in this
state requiring voter to be assessed or
to pay taxes before he can vote. If he
owns property he must pay taxes on it
whether he votes or not, or whether a
resident Of the state or not. Assessing
tor taxation is one thing, listing for
voting purposes another. a voters
name on the assessment book does not
give him the right to vote. His prima
facis right to vote is established by the
appearance of his name on the ''list OF
voters"
The new election law is OF Democratic
parentage. There are signs that they
are not pleased with this particular off
spring. 1t was doubtless enacted with
the purpose of preventing Republicans
from voting. Every Republican who
knows of any violation OF the law by
assessors, such as endeavoring to per-
suade Republican voters not to be list
ed, etc., is requested to send full par.
ticulars of that case to the Republican
state committee at Wheeling, who will
see that proper prosecutions are insti-
tuted.
Every Republican voter should see
that his name and the names OF his Re-
publican neighbors are on the assessors
list OF voters.

In the Indian camp on the Grand

manageable Indian girls, some OF whom
want white men for husbands and shun
the idea OF marrying one OF their own
race. The father of one OF these girls

will marry his daughter. The old In

fellow need apply. He must bea young

blown to-day. After Rome was de-
stroyed by the barbarians the art Of fine
glass making was nearly lost, and only
churches and public buildings had glass
windows.
