The Sioux City Journal calls atten-
tion to u significant fact in connection
with the present low price of farm pro-
ducts, especially wheat:
1t has been stated in the public press
of all parties, and on the floors of con
gress, that there are in this country be-
tween 100000 and $500, 900 wage earn
ers out OF EMPLOYMENT who a year ago
We're at work. Some authorities put
the figures even higher. But suppose
we put them down to 100000 men out
OF employment. Is it not serious fact
for farmers, for the producers OF food.
that 100000 of their best customers
have been lost within twelvemonth-
100000 wage earners, and the 1000. 900
others belonging to their families and
dlrecly dependent upon them?
The farmer in the northwest who vot-
ed for change last fall can devote part
OF his time during the long winter even
ings to figuring out the relation of cause
and effect.

THE ELECTION LAW.

Attention is called to the recent
changes in the election law. A candi-
dates name can appear only once on
the official ballot. All names of candi-
dates of each party are printed in sepa-
rate columns. Each column constitutes
ticket, and has ut its head the party
name. When the voter retires to the
booth he should first decide what ticket
he desires to vote, and then make a
cross at the head of such ticket. IF
this is all he does he will vote for each
candidate on that ticket. If he does
not wish to vote for any candidate on
his ticket he should erase the name of
such candidate on his ticket by making
line through such name with stamp.
pen or pencil. If he desires to vote for.
some other candidate in place of the
one erased he should make cross at
the left of the name he desires to vote
for.
In this circuit the Democrats have
not nominated any candidate for the
office of circuit judge. Hence Demo-
Gratis who only mark cross at the head
of their ticket will not vote for circuit
Judge. Ii they decide TO vote for Judge
Haney they must mako Il cross at the
left of his name. Independents who
desire to vote for Judge Haney must
not only mark cross at the left of his
name but must erase the name of Cam
didate Martin on their ticket.
In this county the candidates for
county commissioner we're not nomin-
ated by conventions. Their names are
not part of either party ticket. Hence
marking a cross at the head of either
ticket will not be counted as vote for
commissioners. Voters can only vote
for commissioners by making a cross at
the left of the candidates name. Do
not forget this: Mark the name of YOUR
candidate TO; county commissioner or
your vote will be lost as to that office.

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

Referring to our recent comment on
the rumor that Major Pickler might be
candidate for the United States SEN
ate, the Argus-Leader says:
Is it to be understood that, Office
giving powers having disappeared, the
Hon. Ralph Waspish Wheelock pur-
poses to turn down the hand which fed
him?
Just whose hand is referred to in this
connection we cannot imagine, for none
of the leading Republicans now in the
state had a great deal to do with the
appointment of the editor of this paper
four years ago, except as they with
drew opposition to it after short time.
And, while The REPUBLICAN does not
share in the Sioux Falls idolatry of
Senator Pettigrew, it has never with
held from him a full measure of credit
for his services to the state, and would
hardly feel like attempting to turn him
Or any other candidate down, even were
it so disposed.
But with all our admiration for Sena-
tor Pettigrew, and with our relations
to him of most friendly nature, we do
not feel barred from commenting on
current political gossip, even if it in
wolves his name. Our attitude toward
the next senatorial campaign is just
this: We shall make every possible
effort to secure the election of Repub-
llcan legislature, without stopping to
inquire whether the regularly nomin-
ated candidates of the party are Petit
grew men or Pickler men or Mellette
men or any other stamp of men. And
ii majority of such Republican legis-
lature shall favor the reelection of Sen
ator Pettigrew THE REPUBLICAN will
feel as sincere sense OF satisfaction as
any of his most servile fatterers could.
But we don't expect the state organ
to grasp our point. 1t seems to prefer
to impugn motives and misre present
honestly expressed opinions.

Left ON AN ISLAND.
Two Sailors Rescued After Having
Been Deserted for Months.

Been Deserted for Months.
San FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The schoon-
or Viking has arrived with the two
sailors who were marooned on Clipper
ton island last May. Clipperton island
is tiny speck in the Southern Pacific,
and is covered with guano deposits. A
company was organized to work the
deposit and the shooner Compeer left
FOR the island with force of men. The
schooner was forced to return
to San Francisco for sup
plies and machinery, but in
order to hold the island, left two sail
ors there with provisions for three
months. The island is desolate place
and the sailors had misgivings the
schooner would noS be back in three
months, so one Of them sent a letter to
friend in this city when the Gompeer
sailed, telling of their fears of being
deserted. The friend was asked to
wait three months and then it no vessel
was sent to take them off he was
to make the letter public. Three
months passed. and as the guano
company made no move to rescue
the men, the letter was published in
the newspapers. Finally, last August,
the schooner Viking was sent after the
deserted sailors. 1t was known here
chat the mems provisions would be ex-
hausted before the Viking could reach
them. and there was much speculation
as to their fate. The Viking found the
men, Jensen and Hall. in GOOD condi.
tion. and brought them back to San
Francisco. They had eked out their
provisions by eating birds eggs.

BLAND OBJECTED.
The Silver Bill Received In the House.
But Its Consideration Was Post
pOned.
Unanimous Consent Was Asked to
Take Up the Measure But Bland
Objected.
Bank Of England Reduces the Price
Of American Eagles-Why 1t Was
Done.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The rule Of
the house provides that the speaker
shall lay before the house messages and
bills coming over from the senate on
the previous day. If the silver repeal
bill had reached the house Monday
evening before adjournment, it would
have been in order the first thing when
the house met Tuesday morning. Some
of the members and senators who
understood the rule on this subject
were very anxious to have the
bill passed in time to reach
the house Monday night, but this
was known by but very few, as most of
the members were under the same inn
preston as Mr.. Bland, that the bill was
privileged at any moment it reached
the house. Large crowds had coll
lected about the house, in anticipation
of the bill coming up and interest was
everywhere manifested in the repeal
bill. 1t was great Disappointment to
these who had come to the Capitol. in
anticipation of a field day in the house.
Ihere were many members
who came early, believing
that the bill would certainly
be brought up. There may be some
effort to have the bill referred to
committee, but until it is laid before
the house it is wholly in the control of
the speaker. 1t is expected that some
thing will be said about thu bill in the
house and an attempt made to bring it
up for discussion, but any member can
cut off considerable discussion by
simply calling for the regular order.
After the reading of the journal Mr..
Cummings secured unanimous consent
for consideration OF the senate joint
resolution transferring the model bat
tleship "Illinois," at the worlds fair.
to the City OF Chicago. Without oppo-
sition. it was agreed to.
AT 1880, while Mr.. Oates was speak,
ing, Mr.. Cox of North Carolina, the
secretary Of the senate. came into the
house bearing the silver repeal bill.
but its reception caused scarcely ripple.
Quietly the house went back to routine
business.
Bland Objected.
AT l:SO, when the morning hour ex-
pired. Mr.. Livingston of Georgia
created some excitement by an attempt
to secure unanimous consent to pro-
ceed with the consideration of the re-
peal bill. His proposition was that the
house agree to consider the bill for the
remainder of the afternoon,
and on the following day until s clock,
when the previous question be con-
sidered as ordered on the bill and pend-
ing amendments
Mr.. Bland made vehement protest,
and said the bill should take its course
like any other bill, and come up regu-
larly under the rules. "AIany members
want to be heard and for one, obj. CT"
And so the first attempt to reacn an
agreement in the house failed.

A1fairs In Sicily.

ROME, Nov. 1.-The condition of af-
fairs in Sicily is getting dangerous
owing to the action of the people in
combining into clubs called Fisci, the
object of which is to compel the lessen-
ing of taxation and obtaining better
wages. The government has sent an
official to study the situation, and if he
thinks it necessary to dissolve the
blubs, it is feared that the result of
the combinations will be an outbreak
against the bourgeois and the officials.

Comment From Denver.

DENVER, Nov. 1.-The Times, com.
menting on The passage Of the repeal
bill, says: The deed is done. Silver
has been degraded in obedience to the
demand of the money lending power,
acting through its appointed agent,
Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States by the misguided grace
of its disappointed citizens. The
action of the senate was expected, and
its effect had been discounted by the
friends of silver. Already the citizens
|of the silver states have begun to
arrange for the development of other
resources and industries
