PoPULIsTIC PROPAGANDA.
4 Sioux Falls Duet Sung in A Minor Key
By Honorables Melvin Grigsby and
Robert Buohanan-Silver and
Transportation the Themes.

The court house was we'll filed last
evening with ladies and gentlemen who
turned out to hear the Sioux Falls ora.
tors, Melvin Griggsby, Esq, and Hon.
Robert Buchanan. Disappointment
was felt when II became known that the
latter gentlemen had been taken sudden
ly i'll and might not appear on the plat.
form, but Mr. Griggsby soon relieved
the apprehension by occupying the
minds OF his auditors with a disquisi,
tion on the silver question. He bad nc
apology to make for the republican par
ty leaving him to one side on this great
question and counted himself happy that
he stood a Gibraltar in defense OF the
Coxeyites, the old soldiers and the toll
ing millions. He saw q close relation
between the depreciation Of silver
throughout all it's stages and the suffer.
ing OF hard times brought upon the ma
ton and especially the poorer classes
From the downfall Of Rome which he at
tributed more to the manipulation OF
money than to the corruption of virtue
and morals, to the present time of indus
trial distress he saw only the blighting
curse OF Shylock's schemes of selfaRgran.
dizement. His arrangements OF Lom-
bard and Wall streets we're terrific
and only surpassed by his scathing de-
nunciations Of John Sherman, which
were frequently applauded by his hearers
"Honest John had apparently few SYM
pathizers in that audience.
At the close of Mr.. G~rigsby's remarks,
Mr.. Buchanan appeared and in a feeble
frame advanced q few very significant
facts on the question OF transportation.
The .aphorism that "the government
which governs least governs BEST" he
thought applicable in view of past
government, and saw in this no barrier
to government taking a more stringent
control, il not entire ownership, of rail-
roads. While their cost and bonded in.
debtedness amounted by their own
figures to nearly ten billions of dollars,
good authorities estimated that their
value was not half of that. The right OF
eminent domain which railroad corpora
tons had exercised to take property
from an unwilling people still remained
to the government to apply in the same
way to secure possession of the railroads;
and when the farmer of New York state
could get 81 cents for a bushel Of wheat
for which q farmer in Dakota could get
only 43 cents-the difference being eaten
up in transportation-he thought it time
the government came TO the protection
OF the people. The dearth Of legislation
to this end led Mr.. Buchanan, in closing,
to criticise most severely the poverty OF
craftsmanship displayed by Dakota's
contingent in congress and in his wither-
ing anathemas one could not fail to de-
tect the spur which personal dislike OF
Mr.. P~ettigrew goaded on. Even the
audience in the heat of the moment ap-
plauded the TRADE SO little in harmony
with the unimpassioned disquisition
which had preceded.

PLAGIARISM AND PARAPHaAsE.

Some silly and malicious Republican
editors have, ever since the appearance
of the Presidents letter to Mr.. Catch
ings, been attempting to make capitai
against him by alleging that the pas
sage in that letter winch includes
these words: 1.-THE places where the
deadly blight of treason has blasted
the councils of the brave in their hour
of might" is a fragrant plagiarism
aud unworthy of a President Ut the
Uui ed States. This is too silly to de-
serve denunciation. The phrase quoted
above is not plagiarism, but 1t is q
well-put and vigorous paraprhase OF
the famous lines of Tom Moore, begin
ming:

Whose treason like deadly blight,

In recent years we have learned to
go to the drugstore for materials for
cleaning, and such drugs as borax.
household ammonia and some others
are so regularly used that they have
become part of the stock of the deal
er in household groceries. Pure alco-
hol is most valua BILE in cleaning lamps,
window panes. for rem owing spots of
varnish from marble, and many other
spots which nothing else seems to reach
so well.
few drops of alcohol on the inside
of a lamp chimney removes all trace of
greasy smoke, when water alone is of
no avail. Lamp chimneys which
are cleaned in this way are not
so likely to crack a. when
