A Tariff Bill Impossible.

While every section Of the country
has it's free traders as theorists, the
greater part Of them are protectionists
when 1t comes to the industries Of their
special localities. Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Tennessee and Alabama may be-
very emphatic for free wooden, glass,
silk and other goods, but they will
fight desperately against free iron ore
and coal. Representatives Of many Of
the pig iron producing States would
vote to put many other articles on the
free list, but would never support q
bill which would take half the duty
from that product. Tho South Caro-
linian shouts for free wool and a rev.
enue tariff, but when it comes to rice
he demands q Mckinley tariff. And 80
1t will be all along the line, and being
SO, 1t will make the passage Of a rev.
enue tariff bill well-nigh impossible

The wildcat Money Daneer.

The suspension Of several banks, both
State and national, In California, and
OF q private bank operated under the
statutes OF Pennsylvania adds another
to the series OF disastrous object les

infiicting upon the country. One needs
only to imagine the removal OF the pro-
hibitory tax upon currency issued by
State banks to realize how multiplied
and widespread would have been the
suffering caused by these local suspen.

HOW THEY WORKED.

HUME was q model Of patient per.
severance in literary matters. He never
wrote until he had read everything he
could find on the subject he intended
discussing, and then. retaining the mat
ter In his mind, wrote without further
reference to his authorities.
WALTER SCOTT preferred to write be-
fore breakfast, and much OF his best
work was done ere the guests In his
house were astir In the morning. He
could, however, write as we'll at any
other hour OF the day, and even far into
the night. II pressed for time.
PAaANINI, when at work practicing.
never allowed any n to hear him play
nor tune his violin. 1t Is believed that
many Of the strange effects he pro-
duced, hitherto deemed almost impos-
sible, were rendered easy by tuning
his violin q tone r semi-tone higher or
lower.
THAcKERAY always wrote under men,
tai protest. When he had some work
that hal to be done he generally locked
himself In his oom with pencils, paper,
pens and ink. At the conclusion OF the
sitting about half the sheets were GOV
cred with comic sketches, and on the
remainder his writing was done.
BEETHOVEN. during the summer, was
fond Of writing In the fields, in beer
gardens and other places OF public re-
sort. When composing at home he
would howl and groan In SO dismal IL
manner that the neighbors complained.
and he was frequently compelled. IN
this account, to change his lodgings.
HEINE. In his younger days, wrote
with great facility, but, later in life,
with much difficulty, owing to bodily
inflrmity. A b~lographer tells OF visit
ing him and finding him lying in bed
writing with one hand and with the
other holding an eye open in order to
see the characters his pen was forming.
RossINI could compose at any time
and In any place. Once during his
younger and poorer days he vas writ
ing in bed on q cold day. having no fire.
He dropped a sheet OF the quartet he
was writing. it fell beyond his reach
under the bed. and, rather than get up,
he wrote another part to the com.
position.

A SIOUX FALLS SENSATION.
Arrest Of DIR. M. T.. Dittmer ON the Charge
Of Murder.

Arrest Of DIR. NJ. r. Dittmer on the Charge
of Murder.
A SENSATION was caused at Sioux
Falls by the arrest of DR.. Nj. Il. Dit
mer, n of the city's leading physi-
clans, on the charge of murder. The
complaint was sworn out by States At
torney Bailey, charging DR.. Dittmer
with causing the death of Mrs. Matilda
Hargren, by producing an abortion on
her. The complaint was made on the
strength Of her ante-mortem statement
and the warrant charges him with pro-
ducing the abortion by the use of both
instruments and medicine on June ID.
The doctor was arrested by Sheriff
Knott upon his returning from a pro-
fessional visit lear Lennox. He was
found ut his residence, and while the
able of q surprise it was not a q ymplete
one, as he has known for seye, al days
that an ante-mortem stateme ut had
been secured from the woman.
Mrs. Haigren had been a resident of
Sioux Falls since last fall and worked
as u servant in a couple of families.
Some time ago she left to visit her
parents at Eagle Grove, Iowa, and re-
turned June l. She commenced work
at All Saints School As cook ON Thurs
day, June Is, and between ! and 2
o'clock Sunday morning following she
was delivered of q 3-months'-old fntus.
DR.. Dittmer attended her at this time
and until the following Monday, when
Bishop Hare called in DIR. Frances f.
Kyle to attend her and discharged DR..
Dittmer. Since that time the woman
has been attended by Miss Kyle until
her death, which occurred vt All
Saints School.
In her ante-mortem statement Mrs.
Hargren said that her seducer was
Gustof Rudolph EangerholM, q tailor
formerly employed by George Gala
CHER. Langerholm is now in Eagle
Grove, Iowa, where the dead woman's
parents live. Bishop Hare made the
complaint to the states attorney, and
was an important witness at the in
quest. The seducer has a wife and
three children.
DIR. Dittmer was examined. He
waived examination and was placed in
q, 0OOssbonds. The coroner's jury held
the prisoner responsible for the
woman's death. The doctor has many
sympathizers. His father lives at
Earlville, Iowa, and is said to be
wealthy, and will probably furnish the
bonds.

Pardon OF the Anarchists.

Governor Altgeld has pardoned the
three convicted anarchists, Schwab,
Nelden, and Neebe, from the Joliet
penitentiAry. In doing 50 he has exer-
cised his constitutional right to extend
clemency. But he did not stop with
the exercise Of his prerogative. Not
content to merely exercise his right to
pardon the prisoners, the Governor has
Overrulod the Supreme Court of tho
State OF Illinois. He declares that the
men indicted for the Haymarket killing
were tried by a prejudiced jury before
o prejudiced Judge; that the riot was
the result OF police brutality and the
denial Of the right Of peaceable as
sembly; that there was not sufficient
proof of guilt against the prison
ers. He went out OF his way to
criticise the Judge who presid-
cd over the trial court and the
chief detective who ferreted out the
testimony In the case. This was with
out excuse and positively outrageous.
The awful crime occurred in May, 1886,
more than W years ago. The trial
was q long one, and on appeal was care
fully reviewed by the Supreme Court
Of Illinois. The case was even brought
before the Supreme Court Of the
United States. Neither of these high
courts found anything to criticise. The
trial was really a monument Of justice
and had the desired effect, for there
has been no attempt since then to put
anarchistic ideas in practice, but il
anything could kindle anew the flames
OF anarchy 1t would be the spec
tacle which the Democratic Governor
OF Illinois makes OF himself in his Or
raignment Of Judge Gary and Detective
Bonield. The Inter Ocean says that
the pardon Is only q fulfillment of one
Of the Governors ante-election prom
ises, and perhaps few, il any, will be
surprised at it. The demagogical argu-
ment, however, with which this social
istic sympathizer promulgates the par
don to the world will astonish many,
and 1t will not draw friends either for
anarchists or for the Governor from tho
rank and file Of the American people,
who love their country and believe in
law and order.

In the past there has been consid-
cradle complaint On the part Of some
Of the old soldiers living in this state
because no provision was made at the
Hot Springs Soldiers Home for the
families Of old soldiers who had en-
tered the home. Any old soldier who,
on account Of disability, was compelled
to enter the home, if married, had to
leave his wife and family behind to
shift for themselves and get along as
best they could. On this account many
old veterans whose conditions, both
physically and financially, made them
eligible to seek admission to the home,
have refused to do so because they
would not desert their wives and fami-
lies. Recently, however, the Board Of
Managers Of the home has decided to
build some cottages near the home for
some OF the old soldiers who have faini-
