Argus-Leader: While the Argus
Leader is not yet informed of the causes
effecring the appointment of Ezra
Miller as United States district attorney
it must be declared that that nomina-
ton was unwarranted and will prove
detrimental to the party. Mr.. Miller is
Populist who was two years ago oelected
county attorney of Union county on the
Independent ticket.
Suppose he is a Populist? Is not
the laborer worthy of his hire? No
paper in the state, not even excepting
the Pop organs themselves, did more
during the last campaign than the
Argus-Leader to encourage the Inde-
pendent movement in theSwest. Its
leaders, from Loucks up or down to
Pease, were always sure of defender
from Republican attacks in the state
Democratic organ. The movement was
tacitly endorsed in all its phases solely
for the purpose of demoralizing the Re
publican party to the advantage of the
Democratic organization. Now that
that purpose has been achieyed and the
Democracy has been helped topower by
this side issue, this same Immaculate
organ of reform squeals like aisap-
pointed applicant for office because its
late allies are getting their share of the
plunder for which both parties fought
together. Out upon such rank ingrati-
tude! Fie upon such gross hypocrisy
Let the Pops have their share. Let
Senator Kyle see that his friends and
party associates get their just deserts.
And then let the Democrats of this
state. the fusion Democrats, that is, get
do wn on their bended kness and admit
that by their willingness to sacrifice
principle and everything else to beat
the Republicans they have digged apit
into which more than one of them will
take a tumble before another year rolls
by.

Another innovation in theatrical
way will be seen at "The MacKaye
Spectacular, /" in Chicago. People are
to be taken to the various galleries by
fast running elevators. The contract
for these elevators was made by The
Columbian Celebration Company and
The Standard Elevator Company, of
Chicago, few days ago. This contract
calls for the construction of fifteen of the
largest and best passenger elevators
ever built. These elevators are to have
carrying capacity of 10000 persons

Carpenters Wouldn't strike.

CHICAGO, April 5.-The strike of
worlds fair carpenters from all indi-
cations is failure. OF the men in the
employ of the exposition only 20. have
obeyed the order to walk out. The re-
mainder, numbering some 800, re-
turned to work as usual and say they

Sgd Dakota Ekko: No Scandinavian

plete roster of appointments made by
Gov. Sheldon Strange to saw onlv one
OF these successful aspirants can boast
of Scandinavian parentage. while one
third of the population Of our common
wealth is made up of this nationality,
winch constitutes very large and i'm
portant element within the Republican
party.
What's the matter with Secretary of
State Thorson and his immediate sue
cessor, If this question of nationality is
going to be raised? But why should it
be raised? We are all Americans, or
ought to be, and it seems to us a mans
nationality ought to cut very little fig
ure in his selection for Office, if he is
qualified in all other respects. This
very clannishness in politics is one of
the greatest menaces to clean methods
in this country, and by no class will its
detrimental effects be apt to be felt
more keenly sooner or later than by
the men who seek to foster it. The
young state of South Dakota can well
afford to avoid this particular form of
political humbuggery, and the newspa-
per which encourages it for partisan
advantage, either one way or the other,
is an enemy to good government. The
above extract, by the way, istaken from
the columns of the Argus-Leader,
which is using it to foment strife in the
Republican ranks.

His Opinion of the Decisions Rem.
dered at Toledo.
SCRANTON, Pa, April 5.-Grand Mas
ter Workman Powderly had not seen
the decision in the case of Engineer
Lennon at Toledo until his attention
was called to it by reporter.
"That decision" said Mr.. Powderly,
''shows, as have said before, that the
principle of government ownership of
railways is being recognized by the
courts. While the decision is apparently
against the men, it emphasizes our po-
sition that the government has the
right to supervise the railroads. Now
it is a poor rule that won't work both
ways.
Railroads Are Anarchists.
"The interstate commerce law was
passed for the purpose of controlling the
railroads. but up to date no railroad has
paid any attention to the law. An
anarchy of the worst kind has prevailed.
By that I mean a total disregard for the
law, and that is what the corporations
charge against the anarchists"
"The courts hold themselves in readi-
ness to obey the will of the corporation
when a charge is made against the
workmen, butno effort is made to carry
out the mandates of the law when the
provokers of strikes, the corporations,
violate the law. This is Columbian
year, and we have invited the repre-
sentatives of the worlds monarchies to
visit us in order that we might show
them how a free people govern them
selves. They will go home with bot
ter idea of how easily people may be
governed by few while resting under
the impression that they were govern
ing themselves. Since the interstate
commerce law went into effect, but one
freight agent has been fined for VIOLA
ton of its provisions.
Expects Change of Front.
In speaking of the effect of the deci-
sion upon the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, Mr.. Powderly said:
II believe that the result will be there
will'be a change of front, and eventu-
ally a federation of all railroad
employees. An organization of rail-
road men will then be effected which
will seek not only to protect them.
selves. but the country. The members
will take hand in electing judges and
other officials, as at present the judges
have it in their power to override the
will of the people as expressed by the
representatives in the legislature.

HELEN KELLAR.

Her Wonderful Progress at the Institute
for thu Blind in Boston.
When Prof NJ Anagnos, of the Per-
kins institute for the blind in Boston,
visited Greece some time ago he told
the queen about Helen Kellar. the re-
markable child who, although born
blind and deaf and dumb, has learned
to artieulate and can speak as freely
and fully as any unaffected person
When she wishes to hold long CONVEX
sation with anybody dear to her she
places one finger across the lips of the
speaker and another on the throat at
the larynx. Ia this way she under
stands every word that is uttered as
rapidly as could be understood by a
person with good. eye-sight and hear
ing. The interest which the queen
took in Helen was so intense that she
exacted from Mr.. Anagnos a promise
that he would let her read every letter
that Helen wrote to him while he was
at the Greek capital, and when he was
about to return to this country she in
duced him to permit her to retain sew
eral of the letters that she had read,
which are treasured very highly at the
court The queen expressed on more
than one occasion her surprise that
Helen, who is not yet in her teens,
should have so remarkable a command of
the purest English, and limited that the
child might have had some assistance in
the preparation of her wonderful let
tiers. But Mr. Anagnos disposed of that
thought by informing her majesty that
there was no person connected with the
institution who could write English so
faultlessly pure and sweet as Helen
wrote, since the little girl never had an
opportunity to form acquaintance with
any but the Hottest models of the lam
guage. Chicago Post.
