Hon. John Brennan,

This celebrated Italian from Linn
trick addressed a good sized audience
Of voters, Of all political shades and
colors, at the opera house on Thurs
day evening. 1t was not so large a
house as was addressed by Senator
Kyle, but the presence of voters ana
the absence of ladies was noticeable.
The REGISTER is sorry, however,
that all the ladies Of Brookings were
not present to see and hear this hand
some and talented Italian statesman,
for his speech was so far ahead of that
of the homely populist senator as
Robert j. is ahead of Kelly's plug
mule.
Without any hesitation, mental
reservation or secret evasion of mind
whatever we can safely say that it
was by far the best speech that has
been made in this city during the cam
paign. His homely Irish wit, his apt
illustrations and funny stories kept
the audience in continual good hui
NOR while he drove the truth home
with sledge hammer blows. How
nicely he handled our "foreign policy"
How he knocked the pins out from
under "our competition in the mar
kets of the world" Only those pres
ent can appreciate how considerably
he handled the populistS and their
crazy theories.
Previous to the introduction of the
Italian gentleman,
Judge N. HI. Holden, of White, (our
next county judge gave neat five
minutes speech, and was followed by
the campaign glee club with a song
entitled "The Sugar Cured Congress-"
lit appears in this issue) which was
greeted with uproarous applause and
they were again called up and re-
sponded with plea to the populists
to Get Off the Fence" Altogether
it was one of the most successful
meetings of the campaign.

BISHOP MARTY'S LETTER.
The Popular Catholic Bishop Writes q
Letter to His People

The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, the
state democratic and semi-populist
daily of this state has the following
to say:
Zone Of the most astounding features
of the present campaign has Just come
to light. 1t appears that Bishop
Marty, Of the catholic diocese has
thrown his influence for the election
of the Pettigrew tickets in the var
ious counties where the vote is close.
The bishop has been sending to the
priests of the diocese letters asking
them to use their influence in their
congregations to elect the Republican
legislative ticket. As the Catholic
priests have admittedly very large
influence with their people this is ex-
pected to make a large difference in
the legislative contest
zone of these letters was handed
to the opposition managers. In type
writing is given the names of the
Republican candidates of the county
in which the priest resides and below
it in the hand writing of the bishop is
the following:
Please use your influence for the
election of the above candidates, to
the end that Pettigrew may be sent
back to the senate. M. MARTY
"On first being appraised of this the
Argus-Leader refused to credit it and
believed that fraud had been perpe-
trated on the bishop. But yesterday
a representative of this paper called
on the bishop and asked him if the
letter was genuine. Bishop Marty re-
piled as follows:
Yes, / sent that letter to a number
of priests in the diocese. With two
exceptions the priests are my personal
friends and | asked them to further
Mr.. Pettigrew's reelection BECAUSE
| BELIEVE THAT HE SHOULD BE SENT
BACK TO THE SENATE. He HAS, IN
MY JUDGMENT DESERVED THIS and |
have decided to ask my friends, the
priests, to use their influence to that
end. | do not remember the exact
number sent out, but / have sent

MILITARY CAMPAIGNING,
Goa and Ii. Fourth Battalion, Have a
Little Practical Experience.

Little Practical Experience.
Halloween has its joys and it's sor-
rows, it has bitterness and vexations.
and it also has some practical exper-
fences.
For number of years our college
boys have made it the occasion of a
good deal of sport in one way and an
other and have always had a little the
best of the bargain.
Last Wednesday night they started
out upon their annual foraging tour
and thought that enough fun had
been gathered to supply the camp for
year. The following morning as the
battalion was drawn up in battle
array, General Frost, the command
ant of the post, issued general march
ing orders" to take effect Immediately.
Without being able to supply them
selves with even one ration or fill
the canteen, the boys marched boldly
to the front. Wheels had to be placed
on the ordnance wagons, boats carried
to their proper place to be ready for
and pontoon bridges
(sidewalks) laid. 1t was a novel ex-
perience for the soldier boys but they
enjoyed it hugely?

These prices are for medium wool.
Fine wool averaged two to three cents
less. These gentlemen whose names
| have mentioned are all residents of
Clark county and are of different po-
litical faith and can come as near
telling the price of wool as can the
receiver Of the land Office at A Aberdeen.
1t is true that wool advanced a little
in the London market after the pas
sage of the Wilson bill, but it was
only a temporary advancement and
has reacted again and it will take
more than one democratic office hold
er to make the wool growers of
South Dakota believe that Senator
Kyle did right in voting for free wool.
Respectfully,

Sheep Breeders and Wool Growers
Association, upon the price of wool.
1t is self-eXplanatory:
Aberdeen, S. D., Sept. 4,94
American Sheep Breeder, Chicago, Ill.
Gentlemen: In reply to your ques-
tions in reference to the effect Of SEN
ator Kyle's efforts in behalf of the S.
ID. wool growers, 1T is difficult to state
what the final results would have been
had the Mckinley tariff bill remained
in force, but as wool steadily declined
under the Mckinley bill from the date
it went in force until its repeal, and
from the fact that wool has advanced
three or four cents per pound since
the Wilson tariff bill went into effect,
would heartily commend Senator
Kyle for voting to advance the price
of wool.

r. M. HOPKINS.
President of the Sheep Breeders and
Wool Growers Assoc: of So. OAK"
Ed. PILOT-REvIEw: In last weeks
Sheaf there was an article las above
appearsl on the price of wool, from the
president Of the South Dakota Wool
Growers Association, which he, the
editor of the Sheaf, says is self-explan-
atory. But let us look into the matter
little. Sometimes, even. when an
article seems 'self-explanatory, it
needs little more explaining to
make it clear. So it is in this case.
1t Is true that Mr.. Hopkins is presi-
dent of the South Dakota Wool Grow
ers' Association, but as sheep man,
/ venture the prediction he will not be
next year. Now, let us look up Mr..
Hopkins record little and see il he
is the most reliable authority on the
wool question. We find first that in
1890 he was democratic state senator,
then an ex-banker and now holds an
appointment under a democratic ad-
ministration as receiver of the land
Office at Aberdeen, and consequently
his conscience Is very elastic when
called upon for an explanation on the
wool question under this free wool
administration. Now let US turn to
his self-explanatory prices and see
how they will bear the light in the
face Of cold, hard facts. Let us take
the years '92 and '9i, for we all re-
member the price Of wool of those
years. We take the year '92 for the
reason that at time the Mckinley bill

At Rest.

The funeral services of M. A. John
son, who died from the effects of
typhoid fever Monday, October 90,
1894, were held at the Norwegian
Lutheran church Wednesday after
noon at o'clock. A large number of
the friends and relations of the de-
ceased were present and a long pro-
cession accompanied the bereayed
ones to the cemetery where the
remains Of husband and father were
laid at rest.
A large delegation Of Brookings
Lodge No. /, A. O. U. W., were pres
ent to pay the last tribute of respect
to their beloved brother who had so
suddenly been taken from among the
Workmen of this life to enjoy the
blessings of the Temple in the world
beyond.
Marcus A. johnson was born in
Dane county, Wisconsin, and moved
to Brookings county in 1880. He was
married to Miss Anna Jerde ten years
ago and with his wife had resided in
this city about nine years. During
these years five children had been
born to them. Their home was al
ways happy one until death entered
and deprived them of one of their
little ones.
About six weeks ago Mr.. Johnson
was taken i'll with typhoid fever and
for time it was believed that he
could conquer the disease but relapse
set in and he finally passed away. He
leaves a wife and four small children,
and brother, Carl A. Johnson, to
mourn his loss. The deceased was
good neighbOr, kind husband and
parent and'his absence will be deeply
felt by those who knew him best.

Wow it may be regarded as unfortunate
and ill-advised. 1t was time for dip
lomacy, craftsmanship and concilia-
tion, rather than recrimination, de-
nunciation and arraignment.
But, aside from a question of expe-
diency, l am here to defend that letter,
in so far as 1t demands that the party
shall not be led astray."
Mr.. Hill continued to defend the
presidents position and said "tho pre-
sident il right; you know it. You
cannot dispute his proposition and You
cannot doubt his sincerity and patrio-
tism, and you must, in tho end, yield
to his views"

seemed to have come, at least In u

tho letter of acceptance of President
Cleveland in 1892, ~prOnouncing in favor
of free raw material Us periidy and dis
honor. In scathing tones he arraigned
the president. He had becn his friend,
he said, in thunderous tones; he had
defended him on the floor of the senate
when his friends could have been
counted or the fingers OF one hand,
whero did the president got the right
to dictate to congress to denounce one
branch Of congress to the other? Did
he cmbody in his single being all the
