Robert Buchanan has been scared
out by Loucks' roast, and now says
he will not be "a candidate for COVER
nor or any other office. Pity the
sores of a poor OLD mar whose sand
has now run out. Left the RepuE-
lican party simply and solely be-
cause he couldn't get otfice-and
now afraid to drop his nlckle am
bltion in the populist slot, because
Loucks has issued a manifesto
against him. Brace up, Robert!
Play your hand out! Don't weaken
just because IIoucks has declared
against you! Think how much you
have sacrificed already to bring you
down to where you + e-you can't
possibly lose any more. It's now
or never with you. OF course you
couldn't be elected, but possibly you
might get a nomination-and think
how grateful thaC much Of a salve
might be to the liberated Uranium
you have been carrying for II couple
of years. You say that Loucks roast
wasn't intended for you. Feel again
or maybe you are paralyzed III
spots, and can't feel we'll. You and,
Kyle and McFarlaue were specified
as the popullst end of the fusion
deal which Loucks roasted-and if
you weren't on his gridiron, then
you must have slipped through its
chinks-and you oughtn't play
yourself for game so small as that.
Are you going to be a coward now
frightened when Loucks declares
that you want to barter principle
for Office. You ought to be by this
time accustomed to such declara-
tions-they have been so often made
against you. Don't let it be said
| you succumbed to the decree of the
boss-you who have so vociferously
acclaimed your contempt for boss
ism. Courage! You might get the
nomination, and if not now, then
never Sioux Falls Press.

The following is an extract from
an editorial by I'll. l. Loucks on
the fusion scheme:
1t is useless to pooh-pooh or deny
that there is anything in it, for we
know that there is'[''we know that
there is" in italics, and the duty of
every loyal populist IN the state is
to see that not a single fusion dele
gate is elected to the state corven-
ton. We cannot understand how
any true reformer can for a moment
countenance such a thing. Fusion
for the sake of officers means an
aband nment Of principle, For the
peoples party at this time to aban-
don principles for the sake of Office
would be a political crime without
a parallel in the annals of reform.
To tie us up to the democratic party
with their terrible record in con-
gress would be far worse than tying
us to a dead body. 1t would be
tying US to a p%utrefying mass OF
political corruption. II would be a
practical endorsement of the pres
ent administration, whose record is
the worst in the history of our coun-
try. 1t will not do for our people
to imagine that the fusionists will
not make a strong effort to carry
their point, for they will. 1t is the
spoils of office they are after, and
they will work hard to secure fusion
We had hoped that it would not lie
necessary to take up this question.
But whenever the hydrahead OF
fusion appears we will try to Knock
it with a capital X in the head.
This attempt at fusion by men pro.
minent in our party even though
promptly squelched will cost lie
thousands of voters who are just OH
the eve of coming to us from the
Republican ranks. In our judg.
ment 1t is exceedingly unfortunate
that the attempt was made. 1t will
compel us to work all the harder
to win, but win we must.-Ruralist.

The status of the Great Northern
strike remains practically unchan-
ged except that an injunction has
been granted restraining the strik-
ers from intimidating any new en-
ployees. So far not an act OF
violence has been committed by the
men, but the surest way to stir up
blood is the presence of mercernar
les, but this is the probable plan Of
the management. The new wage
schedule put in force April LIST,
makes radical changes in wages Of
trainmen, bringing them below the
cost Of living, as that road runs
through a new and sparcely settled
country where the cost of living is
very high. OF course no cut is
made in the salaries of the high Of.
tieials.

The Outlook for BimetalIism.

From no point Of view has the
seigniorage bill seemed to US to be
a desirable measure. From the
standpoint of those who wish to see
silver restored to an important place
as a money metal, it ought to be
clear that the Bland seigniorage bill
is a mere looking backward toward
a line of policy that was defeated
and abandoned with the passage OF
the act repeating the Sherman pur,
chase system. A forward movement
on new ground is what the bimetal-
lists should favor. An important
commission has been sitting in Ger.
many to inquire into the ACCESSIBILITY
of a larger use of silver in the cur.
rency of the German Empire. The
deranged condition of the currency
in India, and the commercial losses
entailed thereby, are leading to d
renewed study of all phases of the
silver question by British econo-
mlsts and statesmen. The probabi.
lily of the reassembling of the
international Monetary Conference
begins to increase, and the times
considerably more suspicious fol
the active treatment of monetary
and coinage questions as inter
national rather than national prob.
lens. The best thing for silver
men to de, therefore, would be t.
abandon for the present their futile
attempts to rehabilitate the stand
ard silver dollar IN this country anC
to join forces with those statesmen
and economists of all countries whC
believe Ia and demand an inter
national solution of the silver queS

THE VIEWS OF AN iMP0MTEN.
A Dealer In Foreign Goods Talks About
the Wilson Tariff.

the Wilson Tariff.
Being in New York after the Wilson
tariff bill had passed the house, dropped
in at the large importing place OF Graoail'
Keepit 81 Co. / found that the senior
partner of the firm was in Europe, but
Mr.. Keepit invited me into his private
Office and gave me a good foreign made
cigar. This being unusually liberal on
his part, ! ventured to inquire If "busi-
ness was good"
s'Well, no. We cannot say that it is
Just yet. Indeed it has not been for sew
eral years past, but we look for a great
improvement in the near future" was
Mr.. Keepit's reply.
II am glad TO hear that" said. ut
is indeed encouraging to hear somebody
talk of good times when we read of so
much distress in the country through
this Wilson tariff"
"All nonsense" said Mr.. Keepit. at
is the Mckinley bill that has killed
business. We have not imported since
1890, in three years, as many foreign
goods as we used to handle every year
before that ruinous high tariff came into
effect"
$50 you expect the Wilson bill to re-
vive your trade, Them
why, certainly; of course it must.
How else could it be, with the duties all
lowered? We expect to import foreign
goods more largely than ever we did.
Everything is in our favor now. Why,
our Mr.. Graball is in Europe already.
He went over two weeks ago, so as to
lose no time in placing his orders, and
cabled him last night that the Wilson
bill had passed the house. He will be
delighted. In fact, we all are. Take
another cigar-put one in your pocket"
and Mr.. Keepit in his enthusiasm forced
several into my pocket.
But how about the American manu-,
facturers? Won't it hurt them if you inn,
port large quantities of foreign goods?'
asked.
why of course-I suppose so. II
must" said Mr.. Keepit. They cannot
undersell us, you know. Wages are toe
high here. 1t is absurd to think that
American goods can be sold as cheap as
the European goods. We want the trade
and we buy where we can buy the cheap
est. We are not interested in American
factories. We are importers"
Then the American factories must
close unless u people work for Euro
pean wages" | said.
Certainly" said Mr.. Keepit. I'VE viii
food the markets with cheap foreign
goods till the American factories arr
closed, and then we can advance oul
prices a little at a time. Why, this i
what we have been working for. Fo,
what other reason do you think the bust
ness men of New York paraded befor,
Grover Cleveland Is months ago."
"Oh," | said, that great parade wa
because you wanted free trade, was it,"
"Of course, of course" said MIR. Keep
it, rubbing his hands together g~leefully
land now we've got free trade. and vel
keep it, sure as my names what it is. 1t
worth millions TO us to deal in foreigl
goods. Millions in our pockets, do yo1
hear?'
| heard-l could not help it, for b
shrieked it into my ears as he dances
with delight about his Office, thinking o
the millions that Graball, Keepit & Co
would make out of cheap foreign goods
But where do the American manufac
turer and the American laborer come in

Where Was the Jailer?

On Monday last the lower end of
town was enlivened by a riot break
ing out among the prisoners in the
building now used by the county as
a jail. The majority of them were
drunk, and they succeeded in smash
ing the windows and furniture and
all but set the premises on fire.
They deied the officials in charge,
who seemed to be afraid of them, and
came out on the sidewalk, swearing
and carrying on with a high hand.
Altogether it was an occasion of which
our city may well feel proud ~ 1t
was but the elimination of a series OF
events Of a like nature. For some
time past these Jail birds have occu-
pied the stairway and sidewalk in
front of the place of confinement and
have rendered it a place unfit for
ladies or children to pass. Now who
is to blame for this state of affairs 7!
The prisoners claim that the place is
unfit for human beings and that the
food is bad, 1.-THE meat being stink
ing," to use their words. This may
be so, but it is no excuse for theil
being allowed liberty to walk arounc
and purchase whiskey. The law OF
liquor selling to prisoners is yer,
strict and very explicit, those Ii
charge being held responsible. Thi,
is not the first time that drunkenness:
! has been carried on in there, and il
! fact, charges of a far more seriou,
nature are freely made in regard tt
4 their doings. What a farce it all is
A sentence of 60 or 80 days IN th'
county Jail is imposed and carried
out by confinement Tor non-confine
ment) in a basement. where gamb
ling, drinking, visiting, etc., are tin
rule, and the only punishment tn
filth and bad quality of food. Thi
event is another argument in favor o
a county Jail. We are not criticisins
the action of the county commission
ers in renting this for a %jail,as it wa
done from motives of economy, bu
we do feel that if the sheriff is no
able to keep these men in bounds, h
should deputize some one who vii
and put an end to these disgracefu
scenes,
