More OF the Sins Of 'Americus."

A Geneseo painter took his girl and
went to Rock Island to see ..Ameri-
Gus" Much amused by the antics of
amerrvcuss, he slid along the seat
to get a better view. There was a
nail in the seat. The painter ex-
cused himself, as he had arranged to
meet a man who owed him large
sum. He bought paper of pins
outside and put them where
they would do the most good.
His girl has since remarked
how sensitive and sentimental he
was that evening. She SAYS that his
face, while glowing with mirth and
Joy. would suddenly take a look OF
panied surprise; that paroxysm OF
glee would be followed by groan,
and an outburst Of gladness would
be cut short in the very midst by a
sudden gloom that chilled her soul.
When they were coming home, he had
to slide to one side little to get al
their tickets. when he suddenly gave
frenzied spring up into the face OF
the astonished conductor, who hauled
off to welt him with his lantern; bu,
thought better of it. When they
were walking to her home from thc
depot. they would be keeping steI
tremendously, when without warn
ing he would give skip like gal
vanized cricket. She thinks hi.
feelings were too deep for mer'
words, and his actions proved the in
tensity OF soul by love newl,
awakened .-Geneseo News.

The principals, their seconds, time keeper

and Colptzer shook hands
The battle was long and evenly contested
Gardner into the corner and swung on his
ear. This daZed the latter, and he was only
saved by the call of time. The twentieth
and last round was a fierce one. Colptzer
reached his rivals nose and received 4
singing blow the mouth in return
There was a clinch. n break-away and
another rush, and Gardner was knocked
down oy an upper cut on the chin. He
failed to respond when time called,
and was counted out. The matter of dis
IUte was finally forever settled by this con-
test.

the length of time he was detained from his
office.
Mr.. Wilson asked again what his charge
per day in a case like this was
Il never saw case like this" said the
witness.
he was not in the habit of making a charge
per day. In one case he had made such
a charge and had charged SO a day The
witness was asked how often he had been
called on to testify expert. He said
Ii might be fifty or sixty cases or less
He said he had no schedule of charges
Mr.. Thompson objected to questions about
his charges.
Mr.. Wilson said that ne had right to
ask that, and insisted that that was or e
of the first tests recognized by the books
Judge Bradley said the question was a fair
one.
The witness said in one examination he
had charged So, in another SO i'll another
$40 and in another s.. He had not gone
into court in all these cases and testified.
When He Made the Examinations.
He had made the examinations of the
papers in this case Sunday night at his
home and at the court house yesterday.
Mr.. Wilson asked how he had got the
papers at his house Sunday night, and the
witness said that Mr.. Breckenridge, jr.,
brought them to his house. There were
two persons he thought. came with Mr.
Breckenridge, but they remained outside.
Witness kept the papers, and brought them
to the court house yesterday, where ne con-
tnUed the examination. He examined them
with a magnifying glass which he eXhib-
tied to Mr.. Wilson. He examined the
Christmas card at the court house yester-
day. He was engaged two or three hours
in examining the letters and card at the
post office. He did not submit the ink on
the card to any tests other than an ocular
examination. Witness said that If the ink
was not manufactured by some chemist for
the purpose of deceving him he was per-
fect,y sure that 1t had not been on the
paper more than three four years.

growth not merely stiles the independence of
the people, but the blind believers in this ON
nipotent power Of money assert that it's liberal
use condones every Offense. The pulpit does
not speak out as it should These plutocrats
are the enemies Of religion, as they are of the
state.
These warnings have been unheeded
and we fear that they will continue to be,
yet it would seem that if ordinary COM
mon sense had any place in their ph,los-
ophy they would at once make an effort
to relieve the country from the terrible
suffering of the people whose cry is being
heard upon every side, crime and poverty
stalk hand in hand upon every side,
while men are idle, with no prospects of
relief. This condition could be changed
in thirty days if the bankers would per-
NIT it. But while money-lending usury
is the only profitable business in the
country, we regret to say we have but
little hope of relief from that source. The
country needs more money. This could
be secured by the immediate issue of
sufficient volume Of legal-tender money,
call it imitation if you will, but it would
start business. Then give the country
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of lG to l, this would raise the
price Of every American product and start
900, 900 of idle men to work in the
mines, this would break up the army of
the unemployed and make The people

charity, now the thing to dc is to give

POLITICAL GRAVE DIGGERs.

The rank and file of the Republican
party in this state have grown weary Of
the men who, once leaders, have become
bosses, and the growing sentiment is that
our politics must be purified. The sole
object Of the politician, viz: who shall fill
the offices, does not enter into the delib-
erations of the new movement. Let the
Augean stables be- first cleaned out, it is
time to lead in the new horse. Not per-
senai gain, but public good is the cry.
Better for the party, better for the people
and Intimately far better for the welfare
of the state is this movement, this senti.
ment. than that which is created by
strolling gangs Of political strikers, pro-
fessional convention fiNers, caucus pack
ers, ward heelers and slate makers; men
who from the very nature OF their busi'
ness have no use for individuals or parties
unless they are made to serve their ends.
Until we in South Dakota dlsencumbe
ourselves Of this element whom past sue
cesses has made Indifferent TO criticism,
who privately bras and publicly boast
that they are the office making dynasty
and the political grave ciggers for those
who defy them, until we rid ourselves of
these people and call to the front new.
clean and good men. it might be well for
the Republican press to touch lightly on
Tammany style and Gravesend methods.
