We know that the growth Of vege-
tation has a great influence on cli-
mate. Areas that were once the
gardens of the world are deserts to-
day because the forests have been
stripped from their surfaces. On
the other hand, nothing but water
supply is required to cover the
prairies Of the Northwest with
groves and forests; and these, act
ing in turn upon climate and rain
fall, may afterward take away the
need of artificial watering. Thus
there appears as the ultimate possi-
bility the transformation of the
parched and treeless plain, or the
prairie farm where success is wrung
scantily from nature against large
chances of failure, into a country as
beautiful and as productive as any
on the face of the earth. This is
what we believe is in store for all
that country where the rainfall is
IL.
means that every inch Of the Da-
kotas may be made the envy of the
world, and that the value of this
land may be made greater than that
OF any other portion Of the United
States. The facts are all encourag-
ing. The issues are of transcendent
Importance. The people of the Da--
kotas should lose no time jim testing
the matter fully Irrigation by ar
tesian wells should be attempted ev-
erywhere, on a small scale as well
as large. Wealth and prosperity
beyond their dreams are within the
reach of the people If their success
is what there seems to be every rea-
son to expect.

who may be right and who wrong,
she can deal as she has done in the
unhappy past. No man today can
contribute anything to the future
liberation of the people by assisting
to perpetuate the animosities that
exist between Irish leaders, and that
have enabled England to dismiss
with contempt the demands Of all OF
them. tits, of course, obvious on the
face of 1t, that Ireland has nothing
whatever to hope from a resort to
force. By no possible combination
Of circumstances can a boon that
she asks be Wrested from Great
Britain by the arm of power. Butt
regardless of that, to have in the
field two parties, one fixed upon the
policy of armed resistance and the
other upon that of parliamentary
protest, is in itself a guarantee of
failure.
The contributions of Irishmen in
America, furnished so literally to
the cause of their home country,
have ceased since the Nationalists
divided. Never again can the aid
OF America be commanded until
there is united Ireland. The patri-
otie sons of that island should make
the healing of divisions their first
and only care. 1t was not the genius
Of Parnell, it was not the awaken
ing sense of justice in Great Britain,
1t was not the powerful support of
Mr.. Gladstone that forced Ireland s
cause so near to success, as much
as it was the irresistible impulse of
a people united as one man in a
peaceful but persistent demand for
their just rights. Until that condi-
ton is restored there may be agita-
ton, there may be turbulence, there
may be parliamentary obstruction,
there may be feeble blow delivered
here and there at the oppressor, but
emancipation. The bitterest Tory in
England could ask nothing more to
help the policy of his party in keep
ing the Irish a subject people, and
refusing to them the first privileges
Of freemen, than the formation of a
new party, or the encouragement of
the factional fight which has been in
progress in Ireland itself. Against
the logic of this situation, nothing
can avail. Ireland needs no new par
ty and no new policy. 1t needs
that without which no people ever
yet achieved liberty. And that is,
unbroken harmony and universal
loyalty to a single purpose and a
chosen leader.

IRELAND HAS PARTIES ENOUGH

IRELAND HAS PARTIES ENOUGH
Most people will fail to understand
the value. to Ireland of any move
ment which looks toward the forma-
ton of another organization, what
ever it's motives or methods, to ad-
vance her cause. While we cannot
wonder that the patience and hopes
Of Irishmen everywhere have been
strained to the breaking point by
hope too long deferred, there is no
reason in this for going back to
policies that for centuries have pro-
duced nothing but disastrous failure.
No one cause has been so potent in
reducing the movement for self-gov-
ernment in Ireland to it's present un-
fortunate position as internal dis
sension. It is not Of any profit to
fix responsibility for the event. The
fact is enough. Up to the time that
the Irish people stood as one man
behind their great leader, their
movement for freedom advanced
steadily toward final sure success.
The reason why they have failed to
make progress since the death of
Parnell is not because there is no
one Of equal genius or as strongly
intrenched in the confidence and af-
fection of the people to succeed him,
but because they were not at one
with themselves.
Great Britain breads and must
eventually yield to united ireland.
With Ireland divided. no matter

BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW.
Delegates From the Minnesota
Chapters at the Annual Meet


Chapters at the Annual Meet
ing.
AT ST. Paul'S church last evening
delegates assembled from the various
chapters of the Brotherhood of St
Andrew in the diocese of Minnesota.
in annual meeting. Besides the BROTH
erhood members, there was quite a
congregation of interested church peo-
pie in the body Of the edifice.
Preceding the business session, even
ing services were conducted by Bishop
Mahlon N. Gilbert, assisted by Rev
John Wright, D. D., rector of St
PauPs. The bishop delivered an ad-
dress in which he congra tulated the
brotherhood on the good work accom-
pliShed and urged them to do even
better in the year ahead, with a higher
and enlarged sense of the work the
Master demands from His children. At
the close Of the bishops address an
offering was taken for the sending of
delegates to the general convention of
the brotherhood, soon to be held in
Louisville, KY.
Bishop Gilbert presided at the busi-
ness meeting, and Mr.. Boucher, of
Minneapolis, was secretary.
1t was resolved to send one delegate
to Louisville and Secretary Boucher
was chosen, with Mr. Pridham, of St.
Paul, as alternate. The delegate was
instructed to tender to the convent ton
! the hearty assistance of the Minnesota
chapters; that the members stand
ready to- aid in every way within their
power in making brotherhood men well
come during the sessions of the gen.
eral convention Of the church, soon to
be held in Minneapolis. In this con-
nection, too, the bishop appointed Mr.
Remington DR.. Leach and Mr.. SWEET
committee to consider the matter of
providing a general rendezvous for
brotherhood men during the conven-
ton, and take such action as they
thought necessary. This committee
will also, If possible. provide sleeping
quarters for delegates who may have
failed to secure stopping places in
advance.
Miss Sybil Carter told of the enthusi-
astic desire of Indian young men at
Birch Coolie to be represented at
Louisville, in order to keep in touch
with church work; and Mr.. Baxter al
luded to a letter from Spotted Bull, a
churehman at Lower Brule agency, in
WHICH he expressed QSSlr0 10 go TO
Louisville. Mr.. Baxter undertook the
work Of securing necessary funds to
send two Indian delegates to the
brotherhood convention, on a. request
from Bishop Gilbert.
Discussion of meetings to be held in
the different churches of the Twin
Cities during the general convention
was indulged in generally, but no ac-
lon TO 4IA
of a desire for more meetings than are
at present scheduled. Bishops, leading
clergymen and noted laymen have con-
sented to address meetings in both
cities, and it is already known that a
great meeting Will be held in st. Paurs
church, this city, on Tuesday, Oct. Is.
Rev. j. j. FNaude, of Minneapolis, ad-
dressed the brotherhood before the
meeting adjourned, and his remarks
were Of a decidedly inspiring char
acter.

higher by nearly s. cham that of Joest-

higher by nearly 81 than that of Joest-
Ing Schilling.
Mr.. Lewis said he wanted the mat
ter investigated and explained before
he would vote to confirm the award of
q contract to- any but the lowest bid
der. This aroused Mr.. Johnson, who
quickly opposes any delay in matters
looking to- the completion of the Avon
scnooi, ne arguing that the higher bid in
tnls case might be the cheaper in the
end. or TWO furnaces, the one that
originally cost more in the beginning
often turned out to be the cheaper.
In response to this Mr.. Lewis re-
marked significantly that he wanted
this matter looked into, and that If
Mr.. Johnson would make inquiry. af-
ter the meeting, he would not think the
inquiry ill-timed.
Mr.. Johnson retorted that he didn't
believe in making insinuations. Let
there be plain speaking. Mr.. Johnson
said that it had been reported that
School Inspector Scholle was con-
cerned in the manufacture of the kind
of furnace offered by Philip Justus;
but even If that were the case, there
was nothing before the assembly to
show that the furnace offered was not
the best for the money. But Mr.. Lewis
insisted upon a. reference, and the reso-
luton to confirm the contract was re-
ferred to the committee on education.
The contracts for equipping the ad-
ditions to the Cleveland and Lincoln
schools were confirmed.
The business from the board of al
dermen was disposed of without pro-
tracted discussion. Aid. Brady's reso-
luton instructing the city clerk to ad-
vertise for bids for lighting the entire
business district with electricity was
referred to the committee on gas. The
same disposition was made of Aid
Brady's resolution instructing the
board of public works to remove the
electric lights on the masts at Bridge
square, Seven corners, Summit park
and elsewhere and to place the
lights along Third street and at other
important crossings.
Mr.. Robb introduced two resolu-
tions, one instructing the committee
on gas to decide upon and prepare
specifications showing the district to
be lighted by electricity during the
year 1896. and the other requiring the
same committee to draw similar speci-
f1cations which will show the district
to be lighted by gasoline. The resolu-
tions were adopted.

: THE LAND OFF DREAMS.

There's land where all may journey,
| King or peasant, bond or free.
Where the slave may rend his shackles.
Pride and place forgotten be.
In that land the weary exile
WanderS back unto his home:
Sees the mountains and the meadow
Where his feet were wont to roam.
Feels the kiss upon his forehead
Or the sumer breezes free,
Hears the voices of his loved ones
Making sweetest minstrelsy.
In that land the poor and lowly
May remove their weight of woe
And the hearts half-stilled with aching
D~Gain their olden light and glow.
There the faces dear, familiar.
Hidden by the shadowed door
Resting years and years in silence
Greet us joyfully once more.
There the pure may dwell with angels.
Soul with soul in beauty twine;
Touch the perfect with the perfect.
Strike some chord of hope divine.
All, how far, yet near and real,
From this circiing world it seems:
All the glory. all the visions M ~
In that wondrous land of dreams.

ABANDONED THE ATTEMPT.
FiIibusterine Trip of the ChiIds a
Failure

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 49,
The filibustering expedition of the Phil
adelphfa tug George w. ChiIds, Capt.
Swain, has met with signal failure,
and after a three months attempt to
land arms and ammunition on Cuban
shores, those in charge have aban-
doned the project. This fact was es-
tabltshed today when a request was
received at the custom house to cancel
the Childs' foreign register, End ex-
planning that a coastwise register had
been taken out at Tampa, Fla That
the Childs was engaged in am unsuc-
cesSful effort to provide munitions of
war to the Cuban insurgents there Is
now no doubt. 1t was only because
of the vigilance of the United States
customs authorities at Key West that
the attempt proved abertive.

WHAT is nsOUNDv MONEY!

" ti0 E<ultOT The
MADISON, S. D., Sept 16-will you
ey, and why the word is used in the
place of constitutional or lawful? The
word protection Is used to deceive the
common people. Are the words sound
money used for the same purpose?
Il There is no CONSTITUTIONAL
money. The constitution gives con-
gress power "to coin money, regulate
the value thereof and of foreign
6oin," and it prohibits the states
from making anything but gold and
silver legal TENDER but there is
mo description of money or coins in
it. Lawful money may be any
thing that the government may de-
clare that creditors shall receive in
payment of their debts. The green
backs and the treasury notes and
silver. certificates are such money.
The notes of national banks are not.
Sound" money is that form of
money which either contains the
market value of the metal of which
it is composed or is convertible into
it's face value of such, metal
ON demand Greenbacks and,
circuitously, bank notes are
such money. Silver dollars, as
long as they are readily convertible
into gold, are sound" money. When
they cannot be they are ''unsound"
money to the extent that their metal
lie value is less than their nominal
or coinage value. Sound" money,
asused by those opposing silver coin
age at 16 to 1, then, means gold
coin, or paper and silver convertible
into it. 1t means the kind of money
our correspondent would prefer to
take for his labor or it's products
were there any doubt as to the value
Of any of the different kinds Of
money. He will thus see that the
word is not used to deceive any one.

DEVOUTLY TO BE WISHED.

Every man with care for the
public welfare will hope devoutIv
that nothing may interfere with the
project Of the free silverites to call
national convention, and put can
dldates OF their own for president
ana vice president in the field.
1his IS usually the last stage of a
movement that is not based upon
right and enduring principles. After
a vigorous agitation within the par
ties, the politicians who get hold of
1t determine to work it for all that
1t is worth, and carry it's issues into
the national field. That is the last
OF 1t. 1t was so with the prohibition
movement. 1t was so with the Pao-
pies party. 1t will be so with the
crusade for free silver. That reached
It's h1gh-water mark within the last
year, just as the Populist craze did
TWO years before. It has now be-
come apparent that there is no DOS
s1bil1ty of the free coinage men doing
more than to carry a few states in
terested in silver production, and a
Few others where the people are unin-
formed on the money question. There
is nothing left for its leaders to do
to keep themselves properly adver-
tlsed but to make play in the
nation at large.
This will not hurt anybody, ana
will be a great relief to both of the
Old political parties. AS matters
stand today, there is no proba bilitv
that either of them could be induced
TO stand for free coinage. The sill
yer issue is going to make more trou-
BILE for the Republicans, who have
eVaded it, than for the Democrats.
VINO have fought it out in so many
OF the states. But it has no business
to be allowed to divide either organ
1zation, or to distract the attention of
their members from the more vital
issues on which they should properly
divide. Nothing could be more sat
lsfactory to them or a greater gain
to the public than to have this SUBJ
ject cut out of the party platforms
ana presented singly to the voters
or the country. That was all that
was needed to kill the greenback
heresy. 1t played havoc with the old
parties for a while in many of the
states. AS soon as it attempted to
stand alone, there was an end of it.
By all means let the free silwerites
stand up and be counted. The peo-
pie who hold this issue superior to
the fundamental principles of De-
mocracy, or Of Republicanism either.
should have an opportunity to wit
ness the faith that is in them.
Numerically, they will not be found
troublesome. The country has re-
covered from what was, at best, a
passing malady, and is ready to pro-
ceed to serious business. The ad-
Vocates of free coinage can interrupt
this less as a distinct and independ
ent party than they can by threaten
Ing or cajoling the old organiza-
tions. If the free silver men will but
carry out this plan, one political
obstruction will be removed, and the
country can then proceed to take
UP and dispose Of the really serious
and pressing questions involved in
the reform of our monetary system
and the demand for currency in
conformity with the immutable laws
Of trade and finance.

Supply of Munitions Thnt Did Not
Reach the Rebels.

WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-The state
department has received, through the
British embassy, and referred to the
department of justice, a copy of
letter from the government of the Ba-
hama islands, in which it is stated that
on Aug. 80 a quantity of arms, ammu-
milton, etc, was discovered on an un-
inhabited island known as Grassy Cay.
off the southern edge of Andros island,
in the Bahamas group. These articles
had evidently been quite recently
placed there, as the leaves with which
they were covered were quite fresh, and
they were packed in cases marked with
names, initials and letters, which are
given. 1t Is presumed. the letter says,
that the shippers of these munitions
of war, apparently residents of the
state Of Florida, intended to convey
them to the Cuban insurgents. The
attention of the state department. is
unofficially called to the matter. in
case the department is willing to in
uuire and inform the British authori-
ties by whom and by what vessels
these munitions of war were shipped
from Florida and Illegally landed in
the Bahamas. The names appearing
on the packages are given, but for pru-
dental reasons are withheld from pub
lication. The cases contained twelve
Remington carbineS, a quantity of
medical stores, 1000 cartridges. 1900
rounds of Remington ammunition and
1s.G00 rounds of Winchester ammuni-
