WHITTIER, that beloved poet is dead.
OF Quaker parentage, his whole life has
been marked by conspicuous sincerity,
purity and sympathy Tor the oppressed.
He was American in all his methods and
sympathjes. For many years he was the
poet of the American slave. His favorite
surroundings were the hills and vales, the
meadows, the birds, the haunts of nature.
His Snow Bound" and other poems are
household words everywhere. He was
permitted TO live until he had reached
nearly four score and five years and
seemed to be conscious of his surround
ings to the very last moment. The sim
pie but loving and constant attention of
lifelong friends made his last years of
life screnely happy. And now of that
wonderful list who were Whlttier's con-
temporaries, Bryant, Hawthorne, Long
fellow Emerson, Lowell and Holmes,
only the last one remains. All the others
have crossed the river. How prophetic
now seem the beautiful words written
only few days ago by Whittier to his
genial brother poet, DR.. Holmes, on the
occasion of the latter's birth day:
The hour draws near, howe 'er delayed and late,
When at the Eternal Gate
We leave the words and works we call our own
And lift void hands alone
For loye to fill. Our naKedness of soul trGs
Brings to that gate no toll;
Giftless we come to him who all things gives,
And live because He lives.

The hard coal monopoly which
has arbitrarily advanced the price of
coal SO that we pay nearly $40 q ton
for it today in this market, calls at
tention anew to the evil influence
as we'll as the seemingly unlimited
power Of these great and unscrupu-
|ous trusts. One vast aggregation Of
capital today controls the hard coal
product OF this country, and coal is
on the free tariff list. 1t fixes the
price and its DEGREES are final.
How long are our citizens to allow
such combinations to continue?
Who can help'sympathizing with the
labor unions in their brave resist
ance to the attempted wrongs planned
by these same soulless corporations?
How is it that our laws and consti-
tltions so often fail for the redress
OF the peoples grievances ana the
vlndication Of their rights while the
great trusts laugh at the vain at
tempts to obtain justice? The Re
publican party has bravely passed
the antitrust law. If there is any
thing lacking to make it perfectly
effective, then let us have a statute
made that will be fully effective in
restraining the powers Of all corpo-
rations SO that the rights Of the peo-
pie shall be fully preserved and all
attempted robbery Of the people by
excessive charges shall be made pen
itentiary ofenses. There is DO use
trying to parley III this vital matter.

WASHINGTON. March 30.-A promi-

of what has occurred during the execu-

that the ratification of the treaty con-
templated would be in accordance with
the report of the majority of the COM

steadily opposed the addition of stlpu-
lation imposing renewal of last
years agreement before the treaty
should become effective. He said that a
feeling of hostility towards the attitude
assumed by Great Britain has been SO
strong in the senate that the report Of
the minority of the foreign relations
committee would undoubtedly have
been adopted, and the treaty suspended
to await renewal of the modus vivendi.

OMAHA, Neb., March 3U.-War be-
tween the city and Union Pacific people
has broken out. Years ago the city decided
the railroad number of valuable lots
in consideration of having the eastern
terminus of the line in Omaha, there
being areversionary clause in the deeds.
The eastern terminus has been in Iowa
for years. By accretion these lots, be-
ing on the river front, have grown to
include 200 acres, valued at 81, 500, 900.
On the other lots there was given a
right of way only, but the railroad
company claims them now by reason
of being in undisputed possession more
than ten years, and has sold and
leased to other parties. Tuesday morn
ing Street Commissioner Windspea and
a force of men began fencing in the lots
when the railroad officials got wind Of
it and sent men down and ordered
Windspea to stop. He refused and
went on with the work and the railroad
officers began hustling for an injunc.
ton. Judge Dundy being in Cuba, The

Death in a Re.taurant.

LONDON, March 3O.-The burning of
restaurant at Pimlico caused the loDs
of several lives. The fire broke out and
spread so suddenly that exit by doors
and stairways was cut off. A waiter
named Lazan jumped from a window
and was killed. Another woman who
leaped to the street was killed almost
instantly. 1t is said that another person
was suffocated by the smoke. Three of
the inmates escaped by taking to the
roof, and making their way to other
buildings. Death was already in the
house when the fire came. An infant
child of Waiter Lazan lay dead in a
coffin awaiting burial.

OTrUMwA, Ia, March 3O.-Albia is in
. furor over phenomenal religious re-
vival now in progress under the man
agement of Rev. Mansur, young Mis-
souri, divine but 90 years old, and who
promises to rival Sam Jones. His father
is state librarian in his native state, and
of course the son had early educational
privileges. Before he had been at Abba
three days his audiences day and night
packed the church, and converts were
reckoned by the score. In ten days 1875
had been converted, baptized and taken
into the church. The end has been pre-
maturely brought on by the young
divine being called to Chicago, for
which place he has left to accept most
desirable pastorate.

rHE REPUBLICAN took occasion te

The REPUBLICAN took occasion to
remark the other day that the Cham
berlain convention had left no sore
spots, but since reading Judge Moody's
numerous interviews we are forced to
believe we were slightly mistaken. The
Sioux Falls Press should direct its next
lecture on harmony and good feeling
toward the ex-senator personally. He
is certainly making most undignified
exhibition of himself when he says to a
Minneapolis Tribune reporter concern
ing Senator Preston's minority report;
1 could have defeated that. At any
rate, could have brought out some
thing that would have downed Mn.
Preston, but what wanted more than
anything else was harmony, and as the
matter ended as it did it seems best
that no rumpus was stirred up.
And yet the only man who has done
what he could to stir up rumpus has
been Mr.. Moody by his personal filings
and unfair assertions since the conven
tion adjourned.

Chas. Mix News: The MITCHELL
REPUBLICANS Senator Pettigrew is
for free. coinage of silver. Will The
MITCHELL REPUBLICAN hedge on the
silver question, as it has already done
on the prohibition question?
If Senator Pettigrew favors the pres
ent free coinage measure, as his South
Dakota colleagues in the house undoubt-
edly do, he is certainly not in accord
with the sentiment Of his party in this
state. THE REPUBLICAN believes the
great majority OF the Republican party
in the west is in favor Of free coinage
upon a basis and at ratio which can
only be established through an interna-
tional agreement. And until such a
basis and ratio can be secured the limit
of free coinage should be confined to the
American product at the utmost. as set
forth in the last Republican state con
vention of South Dakota.

wATTERsoN STILL INSISTS
That Neither Hin Nor Cleveland Can B.
Elected II Nomina

That Neither Hill Nor Cleveland Can BE
Elected IL Nominated.
LOUISVILLE, March 3O.-Henry Wat
tereon has the following in The Courier
Journal:
From first to last the editor of The
Courier Journal has held to one posi-
tion. namely, that to win Mr.. Cleveland
ionst have tho unanimous support of
New York. On this point he has never
wavered, writing column after column
to maintain it, and seeking by personal
effort to make it good. At no time has
he been for Hill. On the contrary, he
has repeatedly given reasons why Gov
ernor Hill should not be the nominee,
and why he cannot be elected if he is.
1t is strange to see journal SO observ-
ant as the Philadelphia Telegraph ig-
more these facts in order to make it
appear that Mr.. Watterson has in any
way, at any time, on this point, changed
his opinion or had any hand in muddling
the Democratic situation. Exactly the
reverse is true.
Mr.. Cleveland stands aloof from the
battle. He declines the responsibility
of candidacy. He leaves others to say
the word. Thus required to cast in an
opinion among the rest, we must assert
it honestly. Considering the case as it
is, and facts as they are, we can see
only defeat in Mr.. Cleveland's nomina-
ton, and in that of Governor Hill as
well, and hence think it best to leave
New York out altogether in the selec-
tion of nominee. If this be not done we
shall look confidently to the vindication
of the wisdom of the counsel which the
election will bring, or promising that in
no event is the prospect very reassuring

the United States. The Indians could
not see the logic of this and are now
muttering and making threats. Captain
McGillicuddy also says the redskins are
indulging in the ghost dance and are
ready for any exciting event as an ex-
cuse for an outbreak.
Another complaint made by the
Indians is that they are not allowed to
eat part of the cattle which the govern
ernment gives them. Fresh entrails,
and raw at that, are considered a lux
ury, but the eating of these delicacies
has been stopped by the interior depart
ment, it being contended that this food
tends to arouse the brutal and savage
natures of the Indians.

Judge Moody should be given credit
for being close forecaster of results.
In an interview in the Sioux Falls Press
of Tuesday he said as to the convention
of Wednesday,:
I have but little knowledge to have
any opinion as to the probable results.
Whatever will be the result you can
make up your mind it will voice the
expression pure and simple of the
party.
And so it did.

Senator Stewart of Nevada has been

he insists upon gold clause in all his
