Judge Kellam,s Candidacy.

Alexandria Herald: Says The MITCH
ELL REPUBLICAN,: ''If Judge Kellam's
name on the ticket is going to hurt it
he certainly has no right to expect re-
nomination. The Republican party
doesn't have to carry any handicap in
this state" During the four years he
has been a member of the Supreme
Court Judge Kellam has proven himself
an able jurist and credit to the court
and to the state. If there is any good
reason why he should not be a candi-
date at this time he should not, in the
interest of tie party which has SO high
ly honored him, hesitate to withdraw
his name from the list of candidates
If he does not feel warranted in with
drawing, the inside facts should be Civ
en- to the public SO that people could
judge for themselves. There have been
hints and insinuations enough and it is
time some facts were placed before us.
AS The REPUBLICAN says the ''party
doesn't have to carry any handicap in
this state," and we believe Judge Kell-
am is the last man on earth to seek a
nomination if he thought such nomina-
ton would reelection the party or handi-
cap it in any way. AS president of a
bank in the hands OF a receiver he may
be subject to criticism but until it is
shown that he is in some way blame
worthy we shall believe otherwise.
Parker New Era: The Canton News
suggests Judge Clifford as suitable
candidate for the Supreme Bench in
place of Jud ge Kellam; and The MITCH
ELL REPUBLICAN, in commenting up
on the News's suggestion, says: "It
Judge Kellam's name on the ticket is
going to hurt it, he certainly has no
right to expect denomination" Unfor-
tunately for Judge Kellam, his connec-
tion with defunct Chamberlain bank
handicaps his candidacy, and unless the
facts in the case can be made to refute
the rumors the Republican party had
had better nominate some other than
Judge Kellam. The New Era feels very
kindly toward Judge Keliam, but, re.
mote as may have been his connection
with the Chamberlain bank, his renom
ination would call for large amount o.
explaining, and if that explaining can
not be done satisfactorily to the party
and the people before the convention
meets, Judge Kellam's candidacy should
MOI be seriously entertained in the con
vention. BY the way, there's nothing
the matter with Judge Clifford.

MITCHELL REPUBLICANS: And if
the silver craze has taken hold of South
Dakota Republicans it possesses even
more completely South Dakota Demo-
Gratis, whose platform last fall went
still further.
Argus-Leader: Brer Wheelock's
memory is accurate usually, but if he
can find anything in the state Demo-
cratic platform OF last year which even
with his undoubted ability can be twis-
ted into remote squirting toward free
coinage, the writer will attend the Corn
Palace and set up the most toothsome
oyster supper which Mitchell can pro-
vide-with prohibition beverages only.
Our memory was all right as to the
fact but little off as to the details.
The Democratic platform went still
farther than did The REPUBLICAN on
the silver question. 1t went clear past
it. The Democratic platform never
mentioned the silver question at all.
And the state organ which now opposes
the use of silver SO valiantly, supported
that platform to the fullest extent Of its
unquestioned ability. And it is EMIT,
led to all the satisfaction it can get Out
of this fact. But what the Republican
platform did say was as follows:
We favor the use of both gold and
silver as standard money under such
legislative regulations as will secure
the parity of values Of the two metals
and we commend the steps already
taken by our government to insure this
important object by an international
monetary conference.
If that be free silver lunacy, oul
friends, the enemy, may make the mos

We are told by our Democratic
friends, by way of apology for the pres
ent hard times, that they are the result
of pernicious Republican legislation.
But the last Republican legislation en-
acted was in 1890, since which time up
to two or three months ago the country
increased in solid prosperity. Then,
as the probable course of the Democra-
cy with reference to carrying out the
pledges of its platform became more
and more uncertain, matters began go
ing from bad to worse until, with an ex-
ira session of congress just at hand, we
behold the anomalous spectacle of the
richest, most resourceful and most
wealthy country on earth-because its
wealth is more equally distributed-un-
dergoing a stress of times that might
be expected in downtrodden Turkey or
Czar-ridden Russia. The industries oi
this country, if given time, can adapt
themselves to almost any condition
short of absolute anarchy, but no enter
prise on earth can go ahead with safety
when it does not know what ,contin.
gency of legislation to guard against
from one day to the next. Give this
country a settled policy, even if it en-
bodies the worst features of the Chicago
and Ocala platforms, and it will gradu
ally recover it's oldtime buoyancy, fol
no legislation on earth can subvert nat
ural laws and conditions beyond GER
tain point.

The good mothers of Sioux Falls are
seriously considering a question that

trend of recent events might we'll con-
sider' with them-the morals of the
young people in the community. And
yet these spasmodic attempts at reform
will avail little of lasting benefit. The
moral training must begin in earliest

maxim "He gives twice who gives
quickly" is directly applicable. 1t may
be true that the embarrassments from
which the business of the country is suf-
fering arise as much from evils appre-
hended as from those actually existing.
We may hope, too that calm counsels will
prevail and that neither the capitalists nor
the wage earners will give way to unreas-
oning panic, and sacrifice their property or
their interests under the influence of ex-
aggerated fears. Nevertheless, every days

principal causes of the present state of

Enlarges the Mischief
already done and increases the responsi-
bility of the government for it's existence
Whatever else the people have a right to
expect from congress they may certainly
demand that legislation condemned by
the ordeal of three years disastrous ex-
perience shall be removed from the statute
books as soon as their representatives can
legitimately deal with it.

while tariff reform has lost nothing of its
immediate and permanent Importance;

attention of congress, it has seemed to me
that the financial condition of the country
should at once and before all other sub

HE WATER SUPPLY PROBLEM.

While there is still a bare possibility
that the present attempts to sink an
artesian we'll in Mitchell may succeed,
the indications are all the other way;
hnd it is generally conceded that this
asst experiment has had the benefit of
the best skill and apparatus that is
available, as we'll as the careful super
vision of the Mayor and members of the
city council. This being the case, it
Ebehooves the people of this town to be-
gin at once the consideration OF some
plan for a sufficient water supply aside
from the artesian we'll source. THE
REPUBLICAN has talked with number
fof citizens during the past week on this
subject and the general idea seemed to
be that a standpipe system with a
pumping station and reservoir on the
fFiresteel creek was within the range OF
feasibility, and as the present plant
Ecould be wholly utilized there could be
no serious objection on the score OF
cost. The city council, however, un.
doubtedly does not feel like taking any
more steps in the matter without hear:
| ing from the citizens as q whole, and
THE REPUBLICAN would suggest that
an early meeting at the Commercial
Club rooms should be called at which
! time the water works committee could
make full report as to the progress
and results of the recent efforts This
would pave the way for a consideration
of some other method at once, as no one
will dispute the absolute necessity fo,
an adequate water supply in a town oi
this size. Will the Commercial Clut
take the initiative in this matter!

not be surprised if a similar movement
in this town might not be productive OF
some good.

tion to the habitations of the dead.
More than twenty-eigh years have
passed since the Angel ofPeace spread
her wings over our beloved country.
In all that time you have never falter-
ed in your departed comrades, and
now in the midst of this beautiful
season of the year, when all nature is
bright, and the sweet perfume of the
flowers of spring is around and about
us, it were we'll that we stop at the
milestone of 1898, and with solemn
thoughts and utterances renew our
allegiance to the cause for which so
many of our brave comrades went
down to their death, or since the
eventful days of the war have dropped
by the wayside. Let us show by our
zeal in the performance of this sacred
duty, that we believe it is well for the
country to thus honor the memory of
her defenders, and in this manner
teach an object lesson of patriotism
which will never be forgotten. For
our comrades who have answered the
last roll call there are in our hearts
words, if we could speak them, that
are as Passion flowers. and sentences
that are as wreaths of Amaranth.
They sleep under the dew and the
daisy. To their memory,o ,on May 30th,
we will drop the tribute of a tear and
on the lowly mounds scattered
| throughout our great Commonwealth
let us plant the beautiful flowers OF
| spring time, that will be watered
with the tears of thepeople offs CRATE

| graves of our comrades, we can recall,
as if in sweet communion, their noble,
unselfish sacrifices and heroic bearing
in the hour of danger, for humanity
and civilization. In this spirit ot
meditation we look about us and see
the evidences of prosperity all ovel
this broad land, and whilst we car
recall nothing which can arouse feel.
ing of vindictiveness or sectional
passion, we feel proud of the fact that
| our honored dead were comrades in
| the grandest volunteer army the world
ever knew. Let us, therefore, perform
the duties of the day in a reverent
spirit, and thus show to the world our
appreciation of their efforts in the
days of long ago, and for the few re-
naming days allotted to us let us sc
live that when we, too, shall have
been called, tive may wrap the drap-
cry of our couch about us and lie dowr
like one to pleasant dreams"
