HELD FOR MURDER.

A dispatch from Salem announces that
the grand jury of McCools county has
returned indictments for murder against
Constable Frank T. jackson. Thomas
Wiley and ex-Marshal N. T. Halle of
Montrose, January l, 1894.
The circumstances Of 1rvines death are
we'll known to readers of the Argus
Leader. Irvine was a notorious charcter.
He had some trouble with his wife,
threatened to kill her, and, driving to her
house, loaded her furniture into wagon
and drove away with it. He was arrest
ed and put iu Jail at Montrose. On the
night of January lst, Irvine was trying
to break out. He had broken the locks
and had FABRICATED himself IN the cell.
Jackson ordered Irvine to throw out an
iron bar in the cell. Irvine crouched into
his cell. IN position of attack and jack
son shot him dead. At the time the town
was in sympathy with the officer.
A. +. Orr of Sioux Falls, will assist
the prosecution, and Aikens & Brown of
Canton, will defend. Judge Aikens went
to Salem Tuesday.

WHEAT FoR HOGS.

P. C. Armour, ir., son of the noted
packer, has made valuable contribution
to the wheat feeding experiments. On
September l5 he weighed Is pigs; they
weighed 1.975 pounds. From that time
until September 20 the pigs received no
food except 1850 pounds of crushed
wheat. They were then weighed again
aud found to weigh $500 pounds, gain
of 525 pounds in the l3 days. AT the
market price OF 5 cents this would make
S26. 25 for the increased weight or a little
over 05 cents per bushel for the wheat
fed. The wheat cost Armour about SO
cents bushel. On a farm, especially If
the lower grades Of wheat were fed, the
value represented by the amount fed
would be much less; at present prices the
wheat at the country station would be
worth IN the nelghborhood of 40 cents a
bushel. The farmer might get less for
his pork than Mr.. Armour could, as
Armour is nearer the Chicago market,
but taking into account the cost Of the
feed the net result would be about the
same 1t has been demonstrated in sew
eral experiments that wheat can be vlrtu
ally sold at from Is cents to $l.25 per
bushel by first converting it into pork
This beats selling 1t for 10 or so. Feed
ing wheat to animals is bound to increase
unless some sudden and unexpected ad-
vance in the creal, checks the movement.

The Farmers leader
THE NEXT BOOM.

While the recovery from the present
depression will necessarily be slow it will
be sure. The world wide causes which
brought it on are passing away. Capital
is piing up IN the money centers Of Eu-
rope and the discount rate for the best
paper is already astonishingly low. There
are millions Of people in England, France
and Germany who live on the income of
investments and they have for four years
found their revenues cut off. They are
beginning again to reach out for good
securities and that act is the invariable
beginning of large expansion. 1t is
likely to be some years before the full
tide. of speculation and development will
be reached. but it is coming.
When the capital OF the United States
and Of Europe again flows out in the
speculative channels the first part Of this
country to feel the impetus is certain TO
be South Dakota. During the last boom
period grea: expansion took place
throughout the south, middle west and
coast. Extravagant booms covered
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Iowa,
Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
and the Pacific states. Property was
lifted to a price far beyond its present
value and permanent improvements
were introduced which will satisfy all
their needs for several years TO come.
Speculative capital will not again seek
those countries because there is no
chance for a large expansion such as
capital requires for the working Of
booms.
The only states in the country posses
ing great and varied resources which
have not been boomed are North and
South Dakota and Texas. In all of these
states there was something of furry in
sympathy with the surrounding booms
but nothing large. Their property did
not rise above its earning figures and
there has been no large relapse. When
the boomers look about for new terri
tory to fill with speculative capital they
will naturally turn to those three states.
OF these three South Dakota easily leads
in attractlveness. She possesses the
greatest variety of rich resources Her
agriculture, her mines, her cattle ranges,
her quarrles, her cement beds, her flax,
her climate, her ar,esian system; and all
her natural advantages are superior TO
those Of any other state of the middle
west. They form an attractive field for
capital unequaed in the land.-Argus
Leader.

STEWART WANTS FREE SILVER.

Senator Stewart of Nevada IN speaking
of the assumption that certain of tht
Populist senators would aid the Repu BILL
cans in the organization of the senate.
He says emphatlcally that so far rs he is
concerned he will enter into coalition
with either of the old parties to secure
the organization. II don't care, he said,
(which Of the gold parties controls the
machinery of the senate. There is no
advantage to US to be Joined by COM
bnation with either the Republican or
the Cleveland Democrats. We do not
care for the few paltry Offices there are TO
rifice our independent interests as party
for them. So far as / am personally con
cerned do not care whether they put
me on any committee or what they do
with me as long as l am entitled to my
seat in the senate and can get into the
chamber. In FACT" he added, growing
emphatic. Il can raise more HI when
entirely free from such obligations than
when bound by them"
The Senator says he thinks the Popu.
lists will soon be able to exercise q more
potent influence by keeping entirely aloof
from than entering into entangling alll-
ances with either OF the old parties, and
it is his opinion that this IS the policy
which will be pursued by the third party
in the senate and that he will advise that
this policy be pursued.
He thinks there IS no doubt that when
the test comes Senator Jones will be
found acting in full harmony with the
Populist senators and that If Gov TIL
man should be chosen to succeed Senator
Butler he will also be found in the Popu-
list column, will also the two senators to
be chosen from North Carolina. This
would give the Populists eight senators
as against forty-two Republicans and
thirty weight Democrats after the 4th of
March.
1.-The only ground ~ he said in con-
clusion, ''on which l should be willing
to unite with the Republicans would be
a platform pledging that party to a free
silver policy. do not want any half
way measure, such as the coinage of the
American product, as know that what
ever was promised would be nothing but
a trap. do not propose to be caught
with anything less than Il compliance
with our complete demands.

AN IOWA OPINION.

The land slide to the republican party
| throughout the northern states in not SO
much republican victory as it is Just
rebuke to the leaders OF democracy by it's
own members. Triumphant democracy
found itself face to face with condition
when it assumed charge Of the govern
ment Two years ago. This country was
on the verge of great financial crisis
brought about by corrupt and viscious
legislation which may be tracable to the
party that had for years been in the as
tendency. This crisis would have come
no matter what party went into control
of the government 1t would have broke
upon the country Il year previous had
not the leaders of the republican party,
TO save their party at the election that
year if possible, pulled every string at
their command. But when the democla
cy, triumphant and aggressive, strobe
forward to grasp the prize of thirty years
contention, it found the country bank
rupt. and the republicans only too glad
TO turn over to the new administration
the wreck which their folly and extrava-
gance had made of the interests of this
country Democracy had then and there
chance to perpetudte itself in the con-
troll of this government. Had the party,
in assuming charge Of affairs, honestly
and patrioticaily carried out its promises
to the people they in turn would have
patriotically returned 1t to power. But
the democracy failed to carry out its
pledges. 1t dealt silver iLs final death
blow, although it pledged itself to free
silver. 1t allowed trusts to control its
house and senate committees which pre-
vented the reduction asked by the people
IN the tariff rates. In fact its leaders
have shown an incompelency or an un-
willingness that disgusts honest people.
Had the democracy given US the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver along with
the repeal of the Sherman law, and then
faithfully carried out its pledges in regard
to reduction of the tariff it would not
today be smarting from the deserved
defeat to which it has had to bow. This
defeat has been administered to the lead
ers by the manly men within the party
folds. The republicans have not gained
Il victory but are reaping the reward Of
a we'll merlted rebuke to the administra-
tion.-Elm Springs. News.

GOVERNOR ALTGELD AND TIE H. p. A,

Milwaukee, Wis. Jan. 1.-THE Catholic Citizen
to-day publishes a letter from Governor Altged.
of Illinois, In reply to request for his opinion OF
the A. p. A. movement. The Governor says that
secret societies meeting in dark places and taking
dark oaths - do dark things have never benefited
the world. The Governor continues by saying:
The effect of the proscriptive movement must be
to entirely change the existing harmonious condition
of affairs 10 beget family feuds, TO set neighbor
against neighbor and tOwnsman against townsman,
TO revive the spirit of fanaticism. and In the end
regatd the 4. L. A. movement as being un-
patriotic and dangerous in character, but do not
believe 1t have long life to meet much sue
cess, because the intelligence of the American
people is great to permit this medieval spirit
to take root In this country.
In conclusion Governor Altgeld says that Catho-
lies not blamable for the movement. unless 1t
should be true that they have In been offen-
svey aggressive especially In the matter Of securing
and holding public Offices, and also. perhaps In not
repddating the sentiments OF some of the priests

FOR SECURITY OF THE BALLOT

Washington Jan. l.-.Just before the Senate went

laid before 1t the report of the minority OF the
Committee on Privileges and Elections on the Dill
to repeal the Federal Election laws. The minority
says, in part.
ut is proposed to overthrow all the existing
provisions of National legislation for securing hon
esty in elections for members Of the National
House of Representatives. These provisions were
enacted largely for the security OF elections III

party which enacted them. was in control OF nearly
all of the Southern States. While there had been
great crimes upon the elective franchise and upon
the rights of citizens in other parts OF the Union

consequence of frauds and crimes which had been
committed by the Democratic party IN the CITY OF
New-YoFk under the leadership of William NJ
Tweed and his associates. and those laws COM
nlended themselves alike to his Republican OPP
ponents and to many respectable and Judicious
