The Sully County watchman. (Clifton, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1894, 1892-10-29

tbs coming election promises to b
of the greatest Importance to the Re-
publican party ofSully County. Two
years ago the disruption Of the party
was threatened by men who had con-
tinually sought Office in the party con-
ventions and failed. They organized
the Independent party and placed
themselves on the ticket and went be-
fore the people as reformers, but were
turned down by the voters at the polls.
This year the same men are seeking
place under the same gu,se, and there
are also some Republicans who are
actually endangering the party's sue
cess by trying to make personal fight
upon certain men on the Republican
ticket who were fairly and honorably
nominated, by alleging first one thing
and then another to divert attention
from the real issues Of the campaign
and thus weaken the candidates on the
Republican ticket, which is very unjust
to the party as well as to the cand' :
dates. There are too many staunch
Republicans in the county, however,
to allow any personal difference to
cause the ticket or any part of it to be
defeated. The Independents are circu,
lating all manner Of rumors, hoping
thereby to secure votes for their ticket
but judging from the outspoken views
expressed by the farmers, the present
Republican ticket will be elected by
increased majorities over two years
ago. This is Republican year all
round, and Sully will be no exception.

LEAVING DONNEiLY,

The Redwood Gazette and other au-
thorities are confident that the Alliance
in Southwestern Minnesota is not fol-
lowing DONNELLY. and will become
more opposed to him as the campaign
progresses" Reference is had to the
actiol ST the late Alliance state meeting,
which was Induced to indorse the rhe-
tOrical abSurdities of the Sage. This is
made more distinct in the statement
that the Republicans are delighted
the b0sSism of DONNELLY, as he wilt
run the movement he controls into the
ground. The Alliance was, no doubt,
miSled by the willy and lrrepressible
Hatcher OF deluSionS into the acceptance
of vagarieS that have no proper place in
the schedules of a non-poIitical organ
iZatiOn. But If Mr.. OWEN is author
lty there is no occasion to connect
the late gathering and the body it rep
resents with the party that attempts
to elect people to Office in opposition to
the old parties. 1t can be of no conse.
quence to the Republicans as a party
what DoNNELLY does with the Alliance.
Still, there is difficulty in drawing the
line, and the influences that control the
Alliance are likely to be dominant in
the peoples party unless there is
widespread dissatisfaction at the eX-
travagancies put forth by the leaders.
The snccesS of the third party in this
state can be best promoted by turning
away from much of the delivery of the
DONNELLY element at the conventions.

SENATOR HoMpE,s LETTER.

In the early history of this country
political campaigns were largely carried
on by means Of pamphlets and addresses,
printed and circulated in all parts of the
country. This was necessary on ac-
count of the sparsely settled condition
of the country at that period. The peo-
pie could not be reached by speakers.
Of late years this mode of carrying on
political agitation has not been used to
so great an extent, although there is no
doubt about its being the best way to
reach those who reside in the sections
of the country removed from the cities.
The people in the cities prefer to attend
meetings and hear speeches, rather than
read columns of the same matter in
print. In the country, however, diff
ferent condition is found. The farmers
enjoy spending odd moments in read
ing up on public questions, and today
they are doing this very thing all over
the country.
Senator HoMPE, of Otter Tail county.
has started out to show the farmers of
Minnesota that President DoNNELLY,
of the Alliance, is a different sort of
man from what he would have them be-
lieve. He will do this in series of let
tiers, the first of which appears in full
in another column of today's GLOBE.
Senator HoMPE is fighter who neither
gives nor accepts quarter when he ell
cages in contest, and his letters are
likely to create sensation. The letter
published today gives great many in
teresting facts regarding Mr.. Don
NELLY's position at the opening of the
last session of the legislature, regarding
which the public, has hitherto known
little. In treating OF Mr.. DoNNELI.'s
record, Senator HoMPE makes free use
Of the senate journal of the last session,
and gives the pages on which the mo-
lions and votes he cites are to be found.
The first letter is written in a calm, I'M
prejudiced manner, in marked contrast
to the method pursued in NEST political
discussions. Senator HoMPE is plain
farmer, who stands close to the people,
and his views will have great effect
throughout Northern and Western Min
neSOta.

THOSE UGLY COINS.

The new silver coins are very bright
and pretty, but they manage to get
away just as easily as the old, battered
oneS.-Indianapolis News.
The new silver pieces may not be all
that is desired as to design, but they
are bright, clean money, and shining
examples in comparison with those
ragged, filthy, e-dIstributing
tramDs, the 81 and 81 bills.-Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette.
The latest complaint against the new
silver coins is that they are so badly
minted they do not lie fat; cannot be
piled and stacked as neatly and securely
as the old coins; they ''Wabble" when
piled, take up more room than they
should, and so on. And yet now, as
with the old silvet. everybody will
''make his pile" if he can.--NeW York
Advertiser.
The new silver coins are about the
uglieSt ever issued III this country, The
eagle on them looks more than ever like
he had been on prolonged spree, and
the neck of the Goddess of Liberty
seems to have gone through siege of
goltre. She looks more like a scrub
wench than a goddess, and 1t is as
Scrubweneh that she fulfills the admin
istratlon's ideal.-St. Louis Republic.
The only reason for minting the new
subsidiary coins was to improve upon
the Immediately preceding issue of the
same denominations. That no i'm
proyement has been made can be read
ilv seen by comparing the coins of 1891
and 1892. Those Of last year, imperfect
as they are, are almost works of art in
comparison with the crude and inartistic
new fSSueS.-New York Advertiser.

DOODLE DIPLOMACY.

1t is not strange that Mr.. Harrison
sympathiZes with Egan. The president.
too, has son. New York World.
The son of Minister Egan is to prose-
cute claim against the CHILEAN govern
ment Tor several million dollars alleged
to be due to railroad company. It
would be quite in accordance with the
current methods of Harrison diplomacy
for the president to incorporate a de-
mand for the payment of this claim in
his ultimatum.-Chicago Times.
In view of the facts published by the
Valparaiso Herald 1t would seem de-
sirable hereafter to send as our minister
to Spanish-American countries only
men who have no speculative sons to
act as attorneys for bankrupt corpora
tons with claims" against the govern
mentS to which our diplomats are ac-
credited.-New York World.
President Harrison is reported to
have said that he had at first serious
doubts of the propriety of sending Pat
rick Egan to Chill, but that the conduct
of that individual had since been
marked by such diplomatic acumen and
ability that he now looked upon the
minister to Chill as ranking among the
most capable of all the American diplo-
mats. The presidents final Judgment
does not prevent people from wonder
ing how he happened to appoint Egan
to a prominent post while still in doubt
concerning his qualifications for it,
Chicago Times.
Minister Egan's son Francis was act
ing as the attorney of the North and
South American Construction company
when the CHILEAN revolution of last year
broke out. He had a claim against the
government for collection amounting to
s., $50, 900. The Balmacedan ring would,
no doubt,in good time have allowed this
claim for fair percentage, and the
Egan share would not have been less
than quarter of million. The down.
fall of Balmaceda put stop to that Job.
May not this in some degree account
for Patrick Egan's hostility to the revo-
lutionary party in Chili?-New York
Advertiser.
While the withdrawal of Minister
Egan would be unwise, if not disastrous,
at this juncture. because of the abject
surrender to an insolent demand which
it would imply, his characteristic unfit
ness for the place is becoming more
apparent day by day. A company
known as the North and South Amer-
can construction company. which is
said to have obtained some valuable
railroad concessions from Chilli, has
employed Francis w. Egan. san of the
minister, to prosecute claim of SIS. $780,
900 against the CHILEAN government.
The most ordinary conception of the
requirements of diplomacy, 10 say moth
ing of those of strict integrity, would
lead Minister Egan to prevent his son
from appearing in case of this kind,
especially at 50 critical a time.-Chicago
Herald.

LET HIM BOWL.

The DeS MoineS Register, which still
(aelS the inspiration of the GARRISON
of the national committee, speaks as
one impelled by confidential influences,
In its issue of a couple of days ago, when
1t refers to the carpers at the secretary
of state. The paper would have the
declaration taken with emphasis ''that
ia MES q. BLAINE will not resign his
position as member of the cabinet or
decline the presidential nomination if it
is rendered him at Minneapolis" His
periodical attacks of indigestion are at
tributed mainly to the annoyance of
other peoples ''meddling with his public
and private affairs" His system needs
the inauguration of active exercise, and
he has been in the habit of finding
this in walking until recently. This he
has been forced 10 abandon, from the
fact that so many people insist upon
walking with him. when he appears on
the street, and talking about matters
that have bad effect upon his stomach.
1t should be understood, however, that
this has no application in the recent in
stances reported, in which st. PauliUes
have walked arm in arm with the great
man, and had their endurance tested to
keep equal pace. Having to abandon
the invigorating pedal exercise, the Sec
rotary might find satisfactory substi-
tute i'll the game of the bowling alley.

EGAN'S RECALL.

We think it would be unwse on the
part of the Gillian government to re-
quest the recall of Minister Egan at this
juncture.-New York Herald.
No one can blame Chilli for ardently
desiring the recall of Egan. No one
should blame Chill for sending in a
claim for an apology and an indemnity.
New York World.
War between the United States and
Chill. never more than possible and at
no time probable, has gradually sim
mered down to the simple question of
''Egan or no Egan." -Chicago Press.
1t is perfectly proper for the ChiIian
government to request the recall of
Minister Egan. The request should
have been made three months ago, and
it is surprising that it was not made. 1t
seems that the Chiliahs are really for
bearing.-New York Advertiser.
The fuss and expense of this Gillian
imbroglio will not be without reward if
it serves to teach other American diplo-
mats than Pat Egan that the United
States legations in South America are
not maintained as boarding houses for
defeated revolutionists.-Chi Times.
We have thousand Irishmen in this
country who would doubtless be well
come as ministers to Chilli, because they
would hot go there as fixed and deter
mined enemies of the existing govern
ment. Mr.. Egan is no longer capable of
rendering good representative service
there because he has made himself dis
liked.-New York Advertiser.

MORE TIN RACKET.

The tin plate business in politics is a
good deal of a chestnut, but it seems
bound to be there. In spite of the airy
visions of mills springing up all over
the country for the production of tin
plate, the situation is not satisfactory
either to the alleged manufacturers,
present or future, of the tin plate, or the
consumers who are paying increased
prices by virtue of the new duties.
Among the latter is the Tin Plate Con-
Sumers' company, which has strong
preference for the American article,
provided it can be obtained as cheaply
and OF as good quality as the imported,
which is but an anticipation as yet.
This organization kicks at the con-
struction given the tariff by the secre-
tary in regard to what may be classed
as American tin, and will bring it to
test in the courts or by appeal to con.
gress. The construction taken might
be passed off as humorous absurdity,
but for the fact that it involves fraud
upon the people. 1t will enable the
total requisite to perpetuate the high
duty to be made up of tin that has no
right to be called American. Under
that the Welshman has but to bring
his black plate and tin over, and do the
dipping on American territory, to call
the product American tin plate. Per-
haps the same label would be allowed
if the dipping were done on an
American ship the other side OF
the water. The consumers associ-
alton is justified in regarding this
as fraud and urging the repeal of the
new duties or the placing of tin plate on
the free list. On the other hand, tile
tin plate mills, which are chiefly po-
litieal as yet, insist that to warrant the

BUYING RAIN.

The rain-producing scheme that Is
being worked on the confiding people
in many parts of South Dakota has a
somewhat different phase from that
generally understood. 1t would seem
that there is a transferable recipe or
device Tor producing rain, and COM
panieS selling rights. Some of these
must be operating on different systems
from that Of MELBOURNE, although
he is in demand. On the coming Satur-
day meeting of tile Black Hills farm
ers is to be held at Rapid City to nego-
tate with MELBOURNE for all the rain
needed for agricultural purposes in the
Black Hills next season. Last week
the farmers in Hand county met at
Miller and contracted with the Arti-
fetal Rain Company of Kansas. 1t looks
like burlesque, but this is the propo-
sition the local paper gives as actually
accepted:
The Artificial Rain Company of Kansas
agrees to sell the perpetusl right with
method to produce rain in district of eight
TO ten counties for Sl7.500 or to furnish ex-
perlmental rains for about $500 each, this
amount for test rains to be deducted from
the S1T.5OO IN case the district enters into
contract for perpetual right Rains are to
cover an area OF from twenty to fifty miles
wide and from fifty to one hundred and 6ftv
long, producing from one-half to one aud a
half inches of rainfall. No rain, no pay.
1t is not the practice to give editorial
publicity to merely business schemes,
but these rain producers may claim a
mixture OF philanthropy with their mer-
cenary ends. In fact, The S17,5OO is a

TWO GOOD MOVES.

Congressman HALL. aud HARRIEs, of
this state, were not idle at Washington
yesterday. The brilliant and iudustri-
Gus member from the Third district Sc
cured the passage through the house of
some amendments to bill granting
authority to bridge the Mississippi at
South st. Paul, while Capt. HARRIEs. of
the First district, secured the reinstate-
ment of LAURITZ OLSEN. Of his district,
ill position under the doorkeeper of
the house. Neither of these acts are of
great Importance, but they show that
the Minnesota members are keeping
their eyes OH the interests of their con-
stituents. The bridge bill was passed
by the previous congress, but it was
necessary to send it through again for
the reason that as originally passed 1t
provided that the bridge should both be-
gin and end on the same side of the
river. This is a measure of Importance
to st. Paul as well as Dakota County,
and means some important develop
ments in trade and railway circles.
Capt. HARRIES. in securing position
for OLSEN, has disposed of great deal

ACCEPT THE OLIVE BRANCH

Another war cloud has dropped below
the horizon. Complications between
the United States and Chill are clari-
fed. flushed are tine loud alarums in
the immediate vicinity of the White
house lawn, and. so far as this country
is concerned, the entire official family
of President HARRISON can loll in in
nocuous desuetude,
TO the lacivious pleasing of a Lutte
Concisely stated, the reply of Senior
PEREIRA. in the absence of Pres
ident MoNTr from Santiago, to the
ultimatum OF Secretary BLAINE, is
so satisfactory that no ground is
left for any further pretense of
antagonism on our part. The apology
demanded is ample. To the claim for
indemnity the CHILEAN government
offers to leave the question to the SUI
preme court of the United States. This
is concession unprecedented in the
history of diplomatic arbitration. 1t is
as suggestive as it is unusual. 1t points
the way to further amicable adjust
mentS of questions of like nature, and,
while on the surface the proposition
may seem strange. it is the shrewdest
move that Chilli could have made in the
game. Thrown back upon our honor;
our generosity appealed to, the amount
allowed will, in all likelihood, be mere
lv nominal. TIE calling in of third
power in such an arbitration would, I'M
doubtedly, have resulted in far great
er allowance.
Congressman BLOUNT, of Georgia,
through whom BAINE appears to speak
to the country. assures every one that
all subsequent proceedings will now
trend towards peace. The olive branch
has been cordially extended, and it is
now out of the power of the fiercest Off
cial fire eater, naval or military, to put
it aside. We accept it with every as
surance of qualification. The country
can proceed calmly with its business,
and no goods need be marked up 10 or
20 per cent on account of war rumorS.
Altogether, the adjustment has been eff
fected more rapidly than was thought
possible. But this is rapid age, and
we are rather a speedy people. AS a
nation we remind one of the character
of ALFRED JINGLE, as described by him.
self: MARS by day, Apollo by night"
Now that we have escaped from the
clutches of Italy and Chilli, perhaps it
would be best to try and avoid further
complications with early dwarf nations.
Even President HARRISON must be sat-
iSfied that there is no political capital to
be made thereby. Let him now retire

wards of rainfall whenever needed,
with the perpetual right, presuming
that the appliances for its production
are inexpensive. The only condition
specified for the operation of this Kan
Sas method or device is that the tenn
perature shalt be between 80 and 60
deg. Then the rain is liable to fall at
distance of from 10 to $50 miles from
where the test is made. The first test
rain" in the Hand region is to be had be-
tween the 10th of May and the 10th of
June. The faith in the scheme, or
potency, is such in the district of South
Dakota that has suffered specially from
drouth as to excite popular enthusiasm.
Something like an agricultural era
when prosperity flows continually as a
river is pictured. Still there are inf
dels and skeptics, who hold their heads
in the scientific attitudes far above the
deluded multitude. They are confident
that they will have all the laughing to
do. Perhaps they will yet be wanting
to buy stock in some artificial rain conf
pany.
