Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1893-03-10

~ The peoples party of South Da-
will march under it's banners for selfish
ends. The republican papers keep har-
ping about A'onzo Wardall. and there is
undoubtedly cause for much unfavorable
comment but Mr.. Wardall has no more
to do with thc success or failure Of the
peoples party or it's patriotic aims than
any individual in the ranks of any party.
Whatever Nu,,Iall's short comlngs may
have been in lie peoples party his edu-
cation was in lhe republican ranks. Give
us no more nf Wardall. Talk about the
hundreds ,f republican official thieves
and the robbery that is practiced in the
state institutions. No party can be re-
sponsiblc Tor black sheep, but the yelping
ours VIII bark for their republican
masters should hesitate to charge fraud
against any other party when their own is
rotten with corruption. The Editor of the
News likes to hit Wardall on every occas-
ion, and Nnrdall may be as black as the
devil, but the News editor has proved TO
be several degrees darker whenever All
opportunity was within reach. Then
there is the great legal brain who edits
the Sioux Fails Press, and who at one
drew big pay for compiling the, laws Of
the state, and has even the cheek to think
it was we'll done. He to delights in.
jumping onto any unfortunate like
Wardall,s lies about the peoples party,
and misrepresents everything he writes
about, but he is not altogether to blame
as he lost most Of his brains in the Bis
mark boarding houses. There are cranks
in all parties, but the peoples party has
no use for any nor will they be tolerated
beyond their individual responsibility.
The peoples party aims TO educate and
improve the condition Of the masses, the
other fellows are labering for their pluto
lcratic masters who aim TO crowd the great
common people into abject dependence
and slavery. The people must rule or
the bright sun of the republic Will go
downin blood and in Egyptian darkness.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1893-03-10
THE LEGISLATURE.
Argus-Leader.

A Platforms the pledge upon which a
party gains power. The work Of the
succeeding legislature is the proof OF the
party's good faith or its duplicity.
In Its Madison platform the republican
party made the following promises: To
establish boards of arbitration TO decide
labor disputes, to prohibit the dealing in
options, to thoroughly revise and har-
moniZe the revenue system, Ito the end
that all property rightfully subjected to
taxation may be made to pay its Just pro-
portion Of the public revenue" to ''go,
,vern the rates charged by express com :
;panies within this state, to the end that
such rates may be reduced" the election
of railroad commissioners by the people
and the enactment OF laws giving them
power to fix local passenger and freight
rates. and a law insurlng absolute equal
ity Ito ali classes of patrons and to all
localities These were the only refer
ences to state affairs.
+ Only one of these promises was fulfilled
the election of commissioners. Bills were
introduced covering ali these points but
all were summarily squelched. The
great majority Of the legislators were
farmers and naturally would favor anti
corporation laws but net a measure pass
ed in any way hampering the railroads,
the telegraph or express companies or
any other of the corporations which have
been so reviled. Not party pledge was
redeemed except the one.
On the other hand what did the legis-
lature accomplish? 1t defeated resub-
mission, amended the divorce law, put a
bounty on pocket gophers, amended the
dog t;,Y, forbade the killing Of grouse or
prairie chickens before September l, gave
Gov. Mellete his chair spent million
dollars and went home. The only i'm
portant legislation accomplished was the
worlds fair appropriation and that was
meager and haggled over and used for
foot ball until so late that its value was
very largly impaired. All the rest Of
the sixty days were spent in discussing
wide interest rs the proposition to place
the raising of mustard under the ban.
Nothing was done to relieve the people
from hardship. Nothing was done to
equalize the burdens of taxation. Notll-
ing was done to bring the corporations
under adequate control.
The legislature was composed of nine
ty-eight Republicans and twenty-eight
Democrats and Independents. Conse-
quently the responsibility must rest with
the partv in control. 1t had practically
no opposition. Its overwhelming ma
jority possessed the power to do anything
1t pleased What will be the effect on the
people Of the state? It should transfer
the control to that party whose record
was admitted to be uneXceptlonable, the
Democratic. The greatest measure be-
fore the legislature was the resubmission
bill. This was not a repeal of the prohib-
itory law 1t was merely a bill giving
the people an opportunity to say whether
after a five years trial they wished to re-
tain the law. But the Republicans, were
to grant this fundamental
right Of a free people to govern their own
affairs.
The entire session so far as the Repub-
licans were concerned was continual
skirmish for position in the senatorial
two years hence.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1893-03-10


~ County organizer Westbury of the
Alliance informs the LEADER, that the
alliance organizations in Lincoln county
are alive to their duties, earnest in their
work and growing in numbers. The re-
publican papers would almost make a
disinterrested reader believe that the alli-
ance was dead and half buried. What is
true Of Lincoln county is true of every
county in the state. Many republicans
who have heretofore regarded the alliance
as party political machine, are joining
its ranks, since they have learned that
every measure advocated by the alliance
IS for the benefit of all the people without
regard to political belief. Alliance meas
ures will help republican and democratic
farmers just as much as the alliance far
mers. Get into the alliance every man
who tills the soil for living, because
through it and the great industrial or
ganizations, will the people get justice
and equal rights. No farmer should hesi-
tate to join the alliance from belief that
the great reforms demanded will be gran
ted by either of the old parties. The un-
disputed evidence is piling up every day
that there IS not one particle Of hope for
them only in their own united and harm
onious action. Look at Kansas. The
people of the state elected legislature to
put stop to corporation robbery, but
rather than give up one particle of their
unlawful privileges, they determined
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1893-03-10

to drench the state in blood by corpor-
alton hirelings from the slums of the big
cities. The outcome would have been a
victory for the people but at fearful
sacrifice Of honest lawabiding citizens.
1t is only through the alliance and their
industrial organizations that relief can be
obtained. Join the alliance or any other
order that has the welfare OF the great
common people at heart.

Ancestry of the Pen.

The earliest mode of writing was
on bricks, tiles, oyster-shells, stone,
ivory, bark, and leaves Of trees, and
FROM the latter the term "leaves of a
book" is probably derived.
Copper and brass plates were very
early in use; and bill Of feoffment
on copper was some years since dis
covered in India, bearing date 100
years before Christ.
Leather was also used, as well as
wooden tablets. Then the papyrus
came into vogue, and about the eighth
century the papyrus was superseded
by parchment.
Paper. however, is of great antiq-
uity, especially among the Chinese;
but the first paper-mill in England
was built in 1888 by German, at
hartford, in Kent. Nevertheless, it
was nearly century and half
namely, in 1713-before Thomas
Watkins, a stationer, brought paper
making to anything like perfection.
The first approach to pen was the
stylus, kind of iron bodkin; but the
Romans forbade it's use on account of
it's frequent and even fatal use in
quarrels, and then it was made of
bone. Subsequently, reeds, pointed
and split, like pens as in the present
day. were used.

TAKING WATER.

the past two or three years are pro-
vided with automatic switch boards,
fashioned not unlike the old-time
Gillian telephone board. and oper-
ated on the same principle. This is
placed in the second story OF the
switch-house, where view can be
had Of all approaches.
\ Labor-saving Device.
Sitting before long table contain
ing a row of numbered levers one man
controls the switches that let all
trains in and out Of the yards at the
station. This is regarded as labor
saving device by the railroad COM
panies, and, though it costs more to
operate, it dispenses with the SER
vices Of six or seven switch tenders,
placing the responsibility in the
hands Of two men and reducing the
possibility of accident. At the older
stations the old-time manner Of man
aging the yards is still in vogue, and
absolute dependence is placed upon
the switchmen, who must throw the
switches, make the couplings, and be
responsible for the safety of all cars
arriving or leaving the yards.
One of the most important duties

their perilous position as man on
an OK cart. a happy lot, who seem too
bnsy to let the cares of life worry
them for moment. The switch
mans work is not all manual labor,
though it is rough and dirty. He
must be cool and quick of action at
critical moments; he must have a
perfect conception of force and dis
lance, and be converSant with the
time-cards of all the roads, for those
in charge of the transfer trains often
visit two or three yards during the
day and must give right Of way to
regular trains.

Thousands Killed Yearly.

thousands hltIeu 1eatkV.
Eight hundred thousand men find
employment on the various railroad
lines which traverse the United
States, and of these fully one-fourth
are stationed in the yards as switch
men, OF all the men who have any
thing to do with railroading there
are none of whom the public know
so little as switchmen. Did you ever
notice the one-armed, one-legged man
waving his red flag at the crossing?
He is known us tlagman, but he
was sWitchman once, and there are
many hundreds of others just like
him.
Did YOU ever see One-armed man
struggling with the patent lock of a
switch, his empty sleeve tluttering in
the wind? He is only tending switches
now, but he once belonged to switch
crew, rode on an engine, and helped
to make up the long trains which
carried passengers and freight out of
Chicago, says the Inter Ocean. 1t is
a dangerous calling-this occupation
Of Switchman, with meagcr chance of
promotion and little recognition by
the public, but it is a necessary and
important one. They are as much a
part of the road as the conductor,
who takes charge of the train when
it is made up, or the engineer who
pulls it, for without them trains
would stop, roads would become

A Detestable Character.

The slanderer has ever been re-
garded as a most detestable char
acter: and the person who commits
the iniquity must expect the severest
retaliation. Few would err in this
respect, if they would but consider
that they provoke the same conduct
in others which they exhibit them
selves. We are none of us immacu-
late; and the most irreproachable
cannot afford to fling a stone at a
neighbor. Indulgence in scandal Of
any kind is a disgraceful occupation
of time. and tends in no small de-
gree to vitiate the heart and weaken
the understanding. tits the pastime
Of the idle and the corrupt, and no
virtuous man or woman will stOop
to the indignity. Based on false
hood. calumny, and envy, it exposes
those who pursue it to similar treat
ment at the hands-or, we should
say, when abiding to the ladies,
mouths-of those whom they have
detracted, and by and by it is con-
test between the parties who shall
be the clcverest and most racy in
ventor and unblushing detractor.
