The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1894-02-09

The congressional district in which
Duluth is located has a democrat repre-
senting it in congress, Major Baldwin,
who refused to vote against the Wilson
bill when it was on its passage in the
house. An election occurre on Tues
day in t he city of Duluth and the answer
the people sent to Major Baldwin's vote
was made by the election Of republican
over democrat and popnlist candidate
by nearly 5000 majority, and the cleo
tion Of the entire sixteen aldermen who
compose the board. Whenever the peo-
pie get chance they are pounding free
trade and the Wilson bill into the earth

The New York democratic papers are
puzzlirg themselves for excuses tor the
tact that republicans have elected rep
resentative 10 congress from The very hot
bed of democracy, New York City A
comparison of returns show the Four
teenth New York congressional district,
which last time returned Democratic
majority OF nearly 1900, elects Repub-
lican congressman, and the Fifteenth
shows reduction in the Democratic
majority Of over 1000.
While the newspapers are figuring on
the cause for this great slump from
democracy, a number Of the labor lead
ers, who are closer to the people in the
district than the editors, give reasons as
follows:
Chris Evans, Secretary American
Federation Of Labor-That the very
men who gave the Democratic nominee
Tor congress his large majority in the
Fourteenth congressional district ia 1892
have now become estranged from it by
the policy OF the majority in the house

Notwithstanding the cries OF destitu-

votes of the cuckoo statesmen in the

Trust or Bust

1t has been stated on the floor of
the senate that the ultimate passage
of the tariff bill by that body depend
ed upon an agreement on the sugar
schedule. That arrangement has
been effected. And there are grave
suspicious that the agreement has
been attained 10y reasons that do not
relate altogether TO 1.-THE greatest
good Of the greatest number" 1t is
asserted without contradiction that
the sugar trust contributed 500, 900
to the campaign fund of the demo
cratic party. One senator at least
admits having made over $1,000 in a
few days by the raise of sugar stocks.
That free trade party should place
d duty on sugar of 40 per cent, COM
modify of import that more nearly
affects poorer people than any other,
is u strange anomaly and people will
Surmise that there is powerful
reason for passing bill with such
limitations as to give monopoly a
profit of $30.000,0O0 to $4,000, 600.
The senate claimed that they must
pass the tariff bill or bust" and so
10 pass it they must do SO i'm the
interest of the trust. An inyestiga-
tion into the charges of a deal with
the trust is unnecessary. The fact is
manifest to all men.

The Colossal Passenger

a French cattle dealer, phenomen-
ally stout man, had driven into Paris.
and as his horse was taken i'll during
his stay, resolved 10 leave the animal
and return home by rail- He bought a
ticket at Nineennes station. but all
Of his efforts to effect an entrance into
compartment proved abortive.
The company's employees went TO his
assistance, and he was pushed and
squeezed, almost denuded Of his
garments, but all TO no purpose.
We'll" said the cattle dealer to the
station master, the regulations have
not settled the dimensions of the
traveller. | have my ticket and you
must take me" The distracted
Official now proposed that the colossal
passenger should make the journey in
a baggage car. The offer was accept
ed, and soon after the train was
speeding on its way with the cattle
dealer seated in the car, on a Dig box
which had been covered with d com
Portable cushion. Such are the com
modiOusness and the ample proper
tions Of the American passenger cars
that no such occurrence has happened
on any of our railways. We have
seen some big people both socially
and physically travelling on the
elegant fast trains Of the Burlington
Route, but no one Of them had to
take the baggage. Compartment
and buffet and reclining chairs dis
tinguish this line. For further infor-

Another Bridge7

1t is needed; there is no difference
of opinion on that point. 1t will cost
no more To build it now than at a
future time and the benefit of its use
will be an Offset against the interest
of the investment. This is conceded.
Then why defer its construction? Is
there any serious reason why the
bridge should not be in position for
the benefit of the public at the earliest
moment consistent with stability OF
construction, the procuring of
material and the convenience of
hiring the necessary labor? Is it
funds? Is it question of place and
plan? As a matter of course these
last considerations must be settled
first. If funds are available, and il is
generally understood that the money
can be found, the community recOg-
nize the ability of the council to
determine a location and formulate a
plan that will be received by all as
the result of deliberate judgment to
honestly act in the benefit of the city.
Some people. realizing the dangerous
nature of the old crossing over the
railway track, would prefer to see a
bridge from the hills over the track.
This seems impracticable from the
necessity of building a bridge sufficient
ly high TO permit subway and so
long as to double the cost. There APP
pears no serious obstacle on the hori-
zOn of .; man up tree" to bridge
at the old crossing on Maple street,
substantial wooden structure like
that on Cedar street, terminating
upon pier across the stream at
point where the iron bridge which is
in best condition could supplement
the entire crossing to the bank on the
west side.
1t looks as if this could be quite
easily bullion piece of paper-but
if the council can see an easier or
more practicable way across, this pro-
position will be cheerfully Witllraw n
and no charges made for the sugges-
ton. In any event this fact appears:
the early construction OF such a bridge
as the council think the city's needs
require and its financial condition
permits will be accepted in satisfac-
ton of the peoples expectations.

friends, | venture forth with the
positive assurance if old time Demo
Gratis are to be relied upon, that South
Dakota will roll up at her next
general election the largest Republi-
can vote she has cast since her
admission as state.
Different nationalities are well
represented here. Most any class can
be found except Italians and Chinese.
Land is becoming quite scarce in the
way of homesteads, and is held quite
high by those who have been fortunate
enough to secure emergencies of

has been so much talk i'm different

establishment | could find nothing
that resembled the pest in cultivated
fields, While on the graded highways
adjoining they were growing about
four inches high in countless numbers.
Should the season prove favorable to
growing crops, there will be no trouble
in that locality as they put in their
appearance and thrive best when crops
are at standstill | think that if
the land owners along whose land are
graded highways would devote a
reasonable time with team and pillow
this pest could be greatly diminished
as they spring up from the seed only,
and when fully matured roll over the
fields as does the tumble weed but
little is said about them here on the
reservation, as the land is of a heavier
nature and on which they do not
thrive. A large acreage of wheat has
been sOwn here and from present in
dicatiOns promises a yield of 20 bushels
to the acre. Oats are also looking
good, as well Is flax and barley
Quite an acreage of corn has also
been planted and in some instances is
looking good. But little rain has
fallen of late and all crops would be
greatly benefited by a good shower.
Considerable land is known here as
sndian land. The right to choose
homesteads was given them before
I,ened to settlement and which they
rent at from 10 TO II cents an acre to
settlers. They live at a distance of 10
miles and are not seen but once
year.
The prices on all dry goods and
groceries are up in the tens of thous-
ands in comparison with the prices at
River Fails. Common lumber is
selling at from $40 to $50 per thous-
and; flooring $25 to $32 per NJ.
Harry Grandbois will soon erect
fine dwelling house and a large barn
here. Clay Ward will also build
commodious barn. Alley Carpenter
has ordered a bill of lumber for a
granary which when completed will
add largely TO the looks of his farm.
Fred Morrow, one of Pierce county's
old boys, looked over the reservation a
short time ago. He informs us that
he has the promise of clerkship at
the opening of the incoming legisla-
ture of North Dakota. Fred is a
good boy and would no doubt make
