THESE ARE FACTS.
little cost

From the passage of the Mckinley tariff in 1899 up to the 8.h of Noyem- Der, 1892, the growth oi our prosperity was unprecedented in all our history.
 Never before were the wage workers in all our industries so continuously employed as during the period from 1S9J to the fall of 1892, and never was the amount of their production so large.
 The volume of traffic exceeded all precedent. The aggregate payments of the clearing houses were the heaviest on record. The aggregate railroad earnings were the largest. The dim ensions of our foreign trade expanded further than eyer before, both our ex- ports and our imports being greater than any heretofore recorded.
 We made in 1892 ,OOO,OOO tons more pig iron than in 1891. Our iron pro- duct of 1892 exceeded that of Great Britain by about 2, 2,OOO,OOO tons.
 The 1892 output of Bessemer steel in- gots were the largest in the history of the industry. The steel rail production of 1892 exceeded that of 1891 by more than 200, ,000 tons.
 The consumption of iron by the American people was several hundred thousand tons greater in 1892 than in any previous year.
 No Democratic tariff reformer can challenge these data. They are as un- changeable as the facts that we had 8 panic almost before MT. Cleveland was warm in the executive chair; that we have had bad business times for mer. chants and hard times for wage work CTS and tough times all around eyer since the Democratic party began to re- verse engines and "tear down the tariff defense" to use the Wilsonian phrase
 And these are the kind of facts that are driving Democrats into the Republi can ranks by the score right here il Maricopa county.

IN THESE political times it is hard to tell who IS who or which is which, and with a secret ballot we may never know how man votes. The Republi- can party asks you to think of the past. Look at it's record of prosperity, and if you want return of those good times vote for men who can and will make this possible. To those of our friends who are on the other side from us, and have been drawn there by the promises two years ago, we ask you to carefully consider your vote this fall, and return to the party that has made you prosperous and will do so again.

the grape been as dangerous foe to life and health as had been claimed, whole countries would have been de- populated by appendicitis long ago; fer since the world began it has been 8 favorite in every cline where it could be cultivated, and has been freely used Tn those lands where it could not be grown but had to be imported. The only compensation for the scare is the lessened price paid for the fruit by those who persist in eating it despite the fear of their friends, and they have been able to enjoy their fill this year at little cost.

LEsSENED DEMANDFOR GRAPES.

Probably no more healthy fruit than the grape is grown in this or any other land. And yet because of the unwise and unwarranted talk about grape seeds being prolific cause of the now fash ionable disease, appendicitis, grape growers find the demand for their fruit largely fallen off. This was a natural result of the unprofessional agitation of the supposed cause of the disease, par ticipated in by some physicians who were fain to attribute about every in ternal disorder for which they could find no other cause, to appendicitis.
 And yet surgeon writes to a New York paper that he has performed 8 mum Der of operations and never found any foreign substance to cause infiamma- tion. "A small bit of digested natter he says, "gets into the little sac, if its neck is open far enough to receive it. It may remain their for years and cause no trouble, and then agaln it may bring on appendicitis almost i'm mediately."
 This. writer has no faith in the idea that grape seeds or the seeds of any other fruit produce the disease, and ed. vises his readers to throw aside theil fear of appendicitis and enjoy the good things that nature has provided fol them without fear. His advice sound: sensible, at least to layman, for ii must be apparent to anyone that had

HOLDING UP trains IS an occupation that seems to offer many attractions in these days to those who find the ordinary way of earning a living too slow, and we should imagine that all the best talent in the profession might soon be diverted to it. Burglary is poor work in comparison. There is less swag, and the chances of detection are quite as great. Unless the railways and government take some unusual measures to protect property, the supply of train robbers will soon ex- ceed the demand, and we shall be hear ing soon of strikes among them.

THE MINNEAPOLIS Tribune deserves credit for this paragraph. It says "The Democratic papers have been cir cnlating the story that George M. Pull man has given l5,OOO or $9O, 900 to the Republican campaign fund, but MT. Pullman declares that he has not given dollar. It is probable that MT. Pull man tells the truth, for it is not like him to give up dollar unless he has to-" This sizes up the situation in a manner that no one can improve upon.

The Gazette in the Sunday edition publishes an editorial. which, If it means anything, was intended to con- vey the idea that certain of the prom inent Republicans of the territory were luke warm in their support of Gov. Murphy or were opposed to him. Of course those who know the gentlemen named in that article would not enter tain any doubt as to their attitude.

HAS kept Within Bounds"

1t is reported that Governor Sheldon
has gone outside of his authority, in
disposing of a building belonging to
the government on the Ft. Sisseton
Indian reservation to one of his neigh
bors in Day county. The reservation
has never passed to the state, although
Senator Pettigrew and Congressman
Pickler secured the passage of a bill
granting it to the state for the use of
the state militia. We are satisfied
that when the whole truth of the
matter is brought out it will be found
that whatever was done the governor
has acted within the bounds of
authority.--Aberdeen Daily News.

The Latch-string.

We sometimes hear the expression,
1.-THE latchstring hangs out" Some
of our older readers know what that
means, but many of the younger ones
do not. In Olden times, say some fifty
years ago, door handles, latches, knobs
and locks were in number. odd and
cumbersome in design and very high
in price. Doors also had to be made
by hand, the age of machine made
doors had not yet arrived. So the
house builder made door out of
boards: put on the inside a wooden
latch and catch on the door casing.
To the latch was fastened a leather
string: over the latch a hole was made
in the door large enough to admit the
string being pulled in and out as cir
CumStauceS would admit. When the,
string hung outside anyone could open
the door by pulling on the string,
which would raise the latch out of the,
catch: hence the phrase, 1.-The latch
string hangs out" became a sign of
welcome TO the household. At night
to lock the door all one had to do was
to'puIl the latchstring in.-Dell Rapids

surprised.

About fifty of the friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Anderson unceremoniously,
with good cheer and forethought,
took possession of that worthy couples
residence last Saturday. The surprise
was complete and the mission was
made to remind them that they had
been married thirty-three years.
Everybody was welcomed in a most
hearty manner and during the even
ing Rev. ID. n. Mason called Mr. and
Mrs. Anderson from the group and
with a neat speech presented them
with a beautiful easy chair as a slight
token of the esteem i'm which they
are held by those present. Mr.. Ander-
son found words to express his appre-
citation of the gift and briefly related
some of the incidents which had trans
pired during their married life.
Shortly after the presentation light
refreshments were served and the
company tarried until late hour.
The occasion was very pleasant one
and none present entered into the
enjoyment of it so much as Mr.. and
Mrs. Anderson.

Passenger Tram Wrecked.

Inc passenger UTdln from tne west
last Monday was several hours late
and from the Huronite we are enabled
to give the cause of the delay.
Train No. 4, east bound from Pierre
due here at 6:58 a. m. left the track
Monday morning about two miles
west Of WOlsey and the result was a
bad smashup. 1t was i'm charge of
Conductor Cooley, and Engineer Coon
and Fireman Jim McNickel held down
the engine. At the point where the
engine left the track there is 2O-foot
fill and off of this the engine plunged
after running on the ties for some dis
tance. 1t being cold the windows of
the cab and the side curtains at the
gangway were tightly closed which
rendered it impossible for either the
engineer or fireman to get out and the
result was that when the tank and
engine doubled up they were penned
in space between the tank and boiler
head, which Ed. Hoadley says was not
big enough for one man but in some
manner two men were crowded into it
and both escaped alive though quite
badly Scalded.
The express car and two passenger
coaches left the track and ran a
couple Of car lengths past the over
turned engine before the final smash
came. The express ear was torn to
pieces and Messenger Ed. Hoadley had
his arm painfully but not seriously
injured. The two day coaches were
thrown from the track and badly
damaged but no one injured. The
sleeper was left half off and half on
the track and the passengers in it
were no worse beyond a shaking up.
A relief train was sent out and pro-
ceeded to get stuck in the snow be-
tween here and Wolsey, being unable
to get to the wreck and return here
until about 2:30 p. m.
The cause of the wreck is supposed
to have been broken rail and cOnsid-
ering the fact that at the time Of
wreck the train was making about
tifty-twO miles per hour the escape
from death is remarkable. Engineer
Coon is reported badly scalded along
the side and chest and it is feared that
he is injured internally. Fireman
McNickel is quite badly scalded on
the arm and one leg but is not thought
to be permanently injured. Both the
injured men were left in the sleeper
under the doctors care when the re-
lief train came in. A wrecking train
is now at work clearing up the debris
and the train will 60 west on time
this evening. Those on the train say
that the escape of the engineer and
fireman was miraculous and all trust
that their injuries may prove only
temporary.

AnOt her LOucks Bluff.

usual sagacity "calls" Loucks in his
latest game of bluff as follows:
"LOucks has written a long letter
regarding those Alliance Company
notes and has had it published broad
cast over the length and breadth of
the land Sifted down his reply
amounts to this:
l. In the body of the note it is pro-
vided that it is payable only on assess
ment by the board of directors. No
assessment has been made.
,. These notes were given in 1887
and are consequently outlawed.
3. Luthy & Co. did not come hon
estly into possession of these notes,
which are made payable to the order
of the Farmers Alliance Co. There
is no such order on the notes.
1. LouckS owes 1926 on these notes
and defies Luthy & Co. to make test
case by suing him.
|. In answer to the first PROPOSE
tiOn let us give a copy of two of the
notes sent here and all the others here
are just like them.
$1,000. ALEXANDRIA, OAK,
June IS, 1888.
On demand, in full or in part, pro-
mise to pay Dakota Farmers Alliance
company, or order, Ten Dollars for
value received, without interest.
leo n1l f.
ed by suit. Payable at Aberdeen.
Brown county, Dakota.
Signed.
$500 MITCHELL, ;. d., April D, 1890.
For value received, promise to pay
to the order of Dakota Farmers Alli-
ance company, at Aberdeen, South
Dakota, Three Dollars. on or before
December |, 1890. and Five Dollars on
or before December !, 1891, with i'll
tereSt at ten per cent. per annum. No
interest will be charged if paid when
due.
Signed.
The only difference in the body Of
of these notes is, one is payable on
demand, without interest. the other
is'nOt. There is not a word about
assessments. How LOuckS juStifieS
his bald statement passes comprehen-
sion. Perhaps he is trying to run
big bluff and thinks it will pass un-
challenged and be swallowed by those
who did not give notes and have them
to pay.
,. The first of these notes were
given in 1888 and are not outlawed.
See secs. 4494 and 1850 Comp. Laws.
All these notes are straight promis-
sorry notes.
3. The assertion that Luthy & Co.
did not come honestly by these notes
may not be any nearer true than the
assertions in and ,.
That the notes are payable to order
and there is no order on them is true.
But what does it signify? A note
payable to order and indorsed simply
holds the endorser if the maker fails
or refuses to pay. The fact that
person holds such note throws the
burden of proof upon the maker if
fraud is alleged. 1t is a we'll estab-
lished principle of law that endorse
ment of note, payable to order, is
not absolutely necessary to give the
holder good title.
The holder of such a note may sue
upon it as assignee or pledgee. Or he
may sue upon it if he holds it as cOllat-
eral security without its being endors-
ed. A note held as collateral security
carries with it all the rights an owner
has and sometimes a good many more.
i. There are notes given by men in
this county which will not be sued,
because the makers are execution
proof"

TAKING SUGGESTIONS,
Impress ons Made Upon the Mind by OH
servations of Nature.

Impress. ons Made Upon the Mind by OBJ
seryations of Nature.
The suggestions of nature rarely
strike the vision directly and obviously,
but come into our field aslant, and as
if by some fine law of reflection, and
with subtle hint of having their orr
gin outside of the precisely movable
and describable. Expressions in every
form of art borrows from these more or
less elusive glints and shimmerings the
the characteristics of inimitable indi-
vidualty; for it is according to our abil-
ity to take in the fugitive rays that we
give forth lasting light.
The habit of observation NAV or NAV
not enrich soul; it depends upon the
original gift of receptivity and the
power of quick and wise selection.
What shall seeing avail, if we always
see the wrong thing and always take
from it pessimistic impression? We
are apt to find what we most diligently
look for, and if we set out with theory
in hand the whole universe will seem
built to nourish and coddle it. But
the eye that is disengaged, that has no
theory at the source of its light will
find wherever it turns, the precious
well-springs of original, unbiased and
unconditional inspiration.
Science has taught us the value of
the fact distinct from it's connection
with theory; myriad facts suddenly
coalesce and form discovery; and it
is with the imagination as with prosaic
understanding; all things tend from
the simple to the complex, so that
what we come to at last is always q
combination of simples
We cannot all be geniuses, nor is it
desirable that very many of us shall
walk on the highest ranges of philoso-
ply; but even in the grind of what is
called practical life (and a happy
grind it is if properly entered upon) we
may use our eyes and ears for our own
betterment and for the betterment of
the world by selling upon the whole
some and soul fertilizing suggestions
of nature and drawing them into our
hearts to become part of our character
When the birds sing we may sing with
them; when May winds blow we can
bloom as the violets do; if winter falls
sharp and cold we may be as pure as
ice and gather richness, as the soil
does, from the freezing and thawing-
