Mitchell Mail: The Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader takes a column to tell
the Pierre Journal il it be a demo.
cratic or republican paper. The
confusion Of ~ollicialism, Cleveland
ism and communism may obscure
the observers vision ut times, but
this, the genuine democratic paper
flies theold banner, whether galleries,
the box or the pit see it or not. The
faithful editor knows that while
many are blown about like chaff be-
fore every wind Of doctrine, the
colors representing the principles Of
true democracy, which guided this
nation to prosperity and honor for
over fifty years, "o'er the ramparts
are still ~gallan,ly streaming" The
Mail floats the real emblem. No
part republican, or half populist
and half democrat-and often half
mast. 1t sounds the same old bugle
cry: mo pap, no pop; no sell and
no surrender!

Cory Views the Ruins.

Wa,ertown Public Opinion: The
democratic Argus-Leader makes out
Senator Pcttigrew to be a prevari-
Gator with reference to the Sioux
Fails postotfice matter. II the
Argus Leaders story is correct the
senator has not covered himself
with a great deal Of glory in the
matter. He might better have let
the democrats had their squabble
to themselves. The paper makes
out that the senator wants to punish
it for taking a stand against the
senator's candidate for the mayoralty
OF Sioux Falls, and therefore he
opposes the confirmation Of Tinsley
rs postmaster. The senator's side
Of tn. question has not been made

Billiards. Snow Liniment.

This Liniment Is different in compo-
sition from any other liniment on the
market. 1t is a scientific discovery,
which results in it's being the most
penetrating liniment ever known.
There are numerous white limitations,
which may be recommended because
they pay the seller a greater profit.
Beware of these and demand Billiards.
Snow Liniment. 1t positively cures
neuralgia, sprains, bruises, sciatic and
infiammatory rheumatism, cuts, burns,
wounds, scalds, sore feet, contracted
muscles, stiff joints, old sores, pain in

Not only is immigration falling of
at an astonishing rate, but great
numbers Of recent emigrants are re-
turning home. Figures obtained
from five of the leading steamship
agents OF Chicago show that no less
than 5000 Foreigners have taken
passage there for Europe since
March /. The larger number are
said to he Scandinavians, but among
them are also many Germans, Ita!-
ians and Poles. All have the same
explanations scarcity of work here
and the lower cost OF living in the
old country, MS well rs the better
supply Of employment they expect
to find at home. Many express an
intention never to come back, but
perhaps the larger number intend to

THE COUNTRY TO BE SAVED,

For nearly two years the nation
has been in the throes of financial
depression; armies OF men have been
moving on to Washington; the fires
OF the furnace have been smothered
and the wheels OF the mills have
ceased their hum, while the dreaded
monster, hunger, has stalked through
the land. All this time the country
at large has been looking to congress
to ecure relief from their ills.
Democracy, triumphant with It's
douhle-twistsd platform, sits astride
OF the dome of the capitol, with its
finger pointed at the price Of the
promised $1.25 wheat, while the peo-
pie cry give us relief" Relief is in
sight at last. After two years of
c~easeless tariff discussion, a complete
surrender to the sugar trust, we find
that our sleek aud fat democratic
statesmen have at last got down to
solid work, as the following Asso-
ciated Press telegram indicates:
WASHINGTON. June 2s.-The thirty-four puz-
Gle has made its appearance in congress.
Nearly every member Of the house has one OF
the puzzles in his desk aud the craze has in
vadea the senate. Even the vice pre sident had
one on his table. but it disappeared. and the
pages are suspected Of having "siwped" it. DuI-
ing senator llill's speech Tuesday four distin-
guishrd senators were working away at the
problem. Senator Briee got the correct result
the key to his associates. A southern congress
man also succeeded 10 making 1t before anyone
else in the house VI representatives. and says
that he can make the number count thirtyfolr
In seventeen different ways. But there are TO
anxious statesmen who have not 60. il yet.
The country is on the verge Of
being saved. W. can sniff the ap-
preaching breeze Of prosperity.
Once those 100 statesmen with their
powerful intellects focused on the
thirty-four puzzle solve the mystic
problem, the throttle valve which
holds in check the nations bust
ness can be thrown wide open and
we'll all trot the millionaire's gait.

that plank is now enunciated, IL may
10 made to mean much or little
according to the within, temper or
politics Of the person attempting to
i%nterprete it. As illustrations, look
at the Ohio and Kansas state plat
forms aud then look at that OF Cali.
tornia. The two former are moder.
ate-the latter very wide open free
coinage, Notwithstanding California
produces only about 4 half million
dollars OF silver to thirty odd million
Of gold annually.-liuron State
Journal.
For one we agree with Erratic
Sage. The above is a sound and
sensible way to look at it. Plat
forms should be rs plain as they
can be made. No double meaning.
Shoot from the shoulder. That's
our idea.
POLITICAL PREDICTIONS.
What Editor Kelly Has to Say With
Regard to the Coming Contest.
Alcester Union: We heard a gen.
tleman talking recently On the sub
ject of politics Of Union county. He
said he was in hopes that the peo-
pie would lay aside all party
prejudice and choose honest and
capable men to fill our offices, and
in his estimation this could be done
if the newspapers would encourage
it in a substantial manner. He
thought the people should look
carefully for men to fill the offices.
In other words, let the Office seek
the man and not the man seek the
office. Well, these theories are all
very good, but we fear the time mas
not yet arrived when they will be
put into practice. Will a democrat
vote for a republican at the next
election, II republican vote for a
democrat OF an independent vote for
either of them? The instances will
be scarce.
Political leaders will probably
organize democratic clubs and re.
publican clubs and independent
clubs. They will march and carry
banners and hurrah and cheer for
they know not what, only the cap
tain bids them to do SO. AS for the
people looking for a proper man to
fill any office, you will often hear a
man say: well l didn't hear much
Of anything about it; who's run
Din?" OF course there will lie men
'runnin," and running fast for a
nomination. The office may seek
the man, but it is a little doubtful.
1t will be a surprise if any Office
goes seeking around through Elk
Point, and being unable to find a
man who will accept, goes up
through the country Of Richland
and then on to Alcester and Beres-
ford and all around the county.
This would be something heretofore
unheard Of. We do not expect to
see any such thing, however. The
offices will not sail around in that
way. There will be hungry men
ready to grab them before they get
started around the country. These
are our politica! predictions and we
believe we a predict as accurately

The st. Johns Bread Tree.

Notwithstanding the belief of Professor
Riley that st. John was just as likely TO
have fed on tho real locust rs on the succu-
lent seed vessels Of Ccratonia siliqua, this
particular tree will always be known as
st. Johns bread tree, says Mechan' s
Monthly. 1t has been very successfully in
troduced into southern California and
southern Florida and is now getting in
good demand. 1t is known as the carob
tree, which is the Arab name for the seed
pods, on account of their hornlike shape.
They like u rather dry climate. Two very
fine trees arc said to be growing on Mount
Olivot, just above the garden of Gethsem-
anc. 1t was a great surprise to Amer
leans to see among the collections of agri-
cultural articles from the south of Europe,
during the American centennial, how
much this tree was appreciated, as near
ly every collection had samples Of varying
varieties in their lists. In the south of
Europe it is generally the chief article for
feeding horses, cattle and swine us we'll
as the general article of food among the
poorer natives.

ed? That" If writer on this subject
is correct, twas sign of his pleasure in
the music" After the days work is over
the tired colonist will sometimes refresh
himself with music on the banjo, fiddle CT
even the bugle. By and by the dogs of
the settlement will gather around him in
q circle and sit a-howling as-long as he
plays. That" to quote again, lis be-
