The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1893-11-24
CURRENT COMMENT.

1t looks very much as though the
Republican party would have TO change
its name to the All-American party in
the next campaign and map out it's pro-
gram with reference to enlisting the
support OF the patriotic people of this
country as whole. The present trend
of events is not at all encouraging to a
genuine lover of his country and a firm
believer in its destiny. Protection
along all lines--to American industries
at home, to American labor by restrict.
ing immigration, to American rights
ON the sea, to purity of the American
ballot, and to American credit by a
sound financial system must in the
very nature of things, in the light of
recent events, come through the Re-
publican party.
Says Brother Basford of the Redheld
Journal Observer:
We desire to heartily commend the
position Of THE MITCHELL REPUBLIC
CAN and Huron State journal, that
staunch Republicans br elected to the
next legislature regardless of cliuue
work.
Bishop A. Cleveland Coke of the
Western diocese of New York has writ
ten singing letter of rebuke to Mgr.
Satolli, the papal ablegule in this coun-
try, Of which the following extract is a
fair sample:
During the last twelve months YOU
have continued to place yourself before
the American people in ii manner alike
aggressive and offensive. Offensive not
only to the Protestant convictions of
our people, but to the honest citizen
ship OF many who profess the Roman
religion. In everything mea to say,
my fellow citizens of your persuasion
shall find me. not their enemy, but
their champion. make no war upon
their right to enjoy their religion, but,
like the best and noblest man that for
centuries has been reckoned among Ro-
man pontitfs, like him who earned the
applause of all nations when he con-
demned and suppressed the Jesuits, [
am the antagonist of that corrupt SOC
Roman Catholics.

The Aberdeen News says the Demo-
Gratis of that locality are after c. Boyd
Barretts scalp because he aspires to be
q land officer in Aberdeen. If the Ma.
or's enemies try to lift his scalp by
means of his hair only, why. the Major
can laugh them to scorn. He hasn't
any hair.
The Letcher Blade and the Argus
Leader are engaged in a little political
discussion in which the former makes
assertions based on facts and the record,
and the latter makes assertions based
chiefly on beautiful theory, gross mis-
representation and wind. 1t pains lis to
see the state organ. which is doing val
liant work in upholding the hands OF
the present administration, so rudely
contradict President Cleveland, who
has said that the hard times came sud-
denly upon US, by saying:
The terrible depression resulted from
Republican legislation and the cause
disappearing the effect is being re-
moved.
Woonsocket News: In the meantime
this country is on gold basis. The
good times, high prices and prosperity
promised will soon arrive, or they will
not, and intelligent people can Judge
how the plan works.
Will the News kindly inform us when
this country was on anything but a gola
basis?
The St. Paul and Minneapolis papers
are squabbling over who is entitled to
the credit for locating q notorious Min
neapolis embezzler in South America.
AS there is no corroborating evidence
that he has been located, and as this
country has no extradition treaty with
the country where he is supposed to be
hid, we take the liberty OF suggesting
that the papers in question are
making considerable ado over a little.
When the criminal is really caught let
hostilities be renewed as to who caught
him. He is yet very much at large.

Doesn't it look a little odd for the oath

Kansas to whine because the A. p. A.,

Oas arrayed against it in the late cam

iety politics of whatever kind, but the
Pops are forever barred from entering
protest against such methods.
