The usefnlneaa of Titles.

Impecunious aristocrats know the
value Of a good name and are not ayerse
to making a practical use OF it Net
long ago the following advertisement
appeared in o French paper:
The owner Of q historical name,
and belonging to o royal family, wishes,
in consequence of pecuniary losses, 70
place his name at the disposal Of . joint
stock company or some other great COM
mercial or financial enterprise in return
for adequate remuneration
Another impecunions aristocrat thus
makes his plea: IA nobleman, married
10 q lady who Is q member Of o royal
family, desires to meet with an appoint
ment for himself and wife in me and
the Same house. He would prefer the
post of manager OF some estate or Of q
manufacturing concern, though the con-
pie would not object 20 the situation of
tutor and governess in o German fam
ily."
Still another liz this: "A young, hand.
some German prince, of very ancient
family, and related to several reignine
houses and possessing no debts, desires
to marry . lady Of very good personal
appearance, American most preferred,
but who must have q dot worthy OF tho
princely rank Of the advertiser. Anony.

The following items from the Mitchell

action Of the populist convention on it's
several resolutions:
The platform committee reported last
evening, and the night session was de-
voted to considering the document,
which is printed elsewhere. There was
smooth sailing until the temperance
plank was reached, where d red-hot dis

man Mckay that he gave up in dispair,
and called Judge Kennedy Of Canton To
the chair. The racket continued. To the
amusement OF the outsiders and to the
excitement Of ths delegates, but when 4

40 majority.

Paying For Their Keep.

The proprietor Of q chemical works
received from his shoemaker a pair OF
water tight boots, which he was, how
eyer, unable to wear, as they 9 o
trife too small. He therefore gave them
to one Of his workmen to wear for q
few days and stretch them to the re-
qnired dimensions. Several weeks passed
over, and the employer had forgotten all
about the boots when he wa suddenly
reminded Of them in a curious fashion:
On q certain pay day the workman in
question, after drawing his wages, lin
gered at the desk as If waiting for some
thing. The manufactures then said:
well, Kruger, what Is itg"
81 want more money, was the reply.
"fWha-what? Haven't you got your
full wages?"
"Oh. ayep' answered Kruger, after
ward adding, with the greatest com
posture: "But you've still got TO pay ma
81. Cd for getting your boots soled.

Following is the platform adopted by
the independent party in the state con-
yeution at Mitchell this week; but it
does not contain all the declarations
made by that party in convention.
Many of the resolutions which would
show the real position Ut the party on
questions OF national importance are ex-
cluded from the platform and kept on
the side to be used for political effect
and chicanery according to the locality
or class of people from which they may
be trying to secure votes. The platform
reads:
We the independent party OF South
Dakota, hereby affirm our allegiance to
the Omaha platform and further re-
solve that the government should dispose
OF no more coal land OF the United
| States; that il should be the right and
eminent domain to take possession OF all
coal lands within its boundaries, paying
the true value OF such lands, and that
the mines shall be operated by the gov
eminent in the interests OF the people.
We demand that our state education
al institutions be divorced from partisan
politics and We oppose the further sale
of school lands.
We favor the assessment OF mortgages
to the holders thereof and the exemp'
tion OF q like amount from the assess
ment OF the mortgagor.
We favor the enactment o Legislation
for the protection Of mining, railway and
manufacturing employees and for theil
decentralization for injuries.
We favor the naturalization OF the
liquor traffic, beginning with state con
troll under our present constitution
without to profit the state.
y We demand that the voters OF South
Dakota be given absolute control OF al
legislation by means OF the Initiative and
referendum.
We believe that the time has arrives
when every h~onorably discharges
! soldier or sailor should receive a pensicl
= in accordance with the degree OF hi
. wounds or disability, and that widows
deceased pensioners should receive NO
il less than So per month.
We condemn the reckless and extravs
CANT mismansgement and m~aladminii
~tration Of the present state government
!, which was compelled in order TO mee
!. running expenses to authorize an uncor
! s~titutional tax levy Of ~ mills, upon th
y already oyerburdened taxpayers Of til

Tuesday was not only one OF his most
eloquent and attractive speeches, it was
an argument in support OF a broad,
liberal, and systematic education of o
than ordinary force and persuasiveness.
He pointed ont convincingly to what q
great extent this country is indebted
for it's political strength and solidity, its
strong spirit of progressive civilization,
and it's unique place among the nations,
to the directing intelligence OF collegians
as Disseminated from the advantages
and benefits derived from the practical
development of it's marvellous resources.
He reiterated with singular cogency and
felicity Of expression the i~rrefutable
truth that the solution OF the problems
and the settlement OF the difficulties
that distress and embarrass this country
must come through the fuller and
higher education OF the people, and
through a choice of educated leaders.
Commenting upon a popular fallacy
that the phenomenal resources and OPP
portunities of American conditions and
life have seemed to sustain, he said:
at has become fashionable and fire.
quent to deny the value of a college
course, except for the professions. Sell.
made men loudly proclaim their
superiority in the practical affairs OF the
world. They begrudge the time and
distrust the methods OF the university
They proudly point to accumulated
wealth and the suceess OF gigantic enter
prise as the fruits OF limited education,
and the larger opportunities OF earlier
training In business. The educated IN
telligence If the courty Is the safety o'
these arrogant accidents. Their inso-
lent parade OF wealth would inspire the
measures for it's destruction il the wis
dom which Is gained by the universities
did not provide the policies by which
the rights of all can be maintained un
