The Southern Pacific Denies Re-

New Orleans. Nov. 21.-The dispatch
sent out from Chicago charging that the
Southern Pacific is responsible for the de-
moralization in California passenger rates
on account of its alleged anxiety to di-
vert travel via New Orleans has been
proven utterly without foundation. on
the contrary it is clearly shown that the
chicago lines in their efforts to stem the
eyer-increasing stream of transcontinent-
al travel attracted via New Orleans by
the justly celebrated Sunset Limited are
directly responsible for the situation com
planned Of, and in fact have resorted to
methods which reflect anything but cred
Il upon lines who claim to conduct their
interests upon a strictly business and fair
basis. In other words thc vehement ont
burst from Chicago is the old threadbare

Speaker Howard of Redfleld is cred
tied with the following statements:
"There is a strong sentiment among
the republicans of the state toward the
free coinage OF silver at the ratio of Is
to l, and the sentiment is growing rap
idly. It is impossible to tell just how
the party is divided on the question,
but / would not be surprised il the sill
yer people were slightly in the majority
now. Ii the sentiment in favor of the,
free coinage Of silver grows as rapidly
in the next six months as it has in the
six months past,i will capture the next
republican convention. The silver
plank in the party platform was adj
mitted as sort Of Cancellation to the
silver men. There was strong senti-
ment ut the convention in favor of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16
to 1, represented by such men as Be-
CART OF Scotland, Maj. Dollard, Coe I.
Crawford and Lieut.. Gov. Herried,
and the anti-silver faction, rather than
raise fight, swallowed the silver
plank without making much opposi-
ton"

Watertown has a free silver-1G to l
republican club with G.. X. Seward
as one of the vice presidents. Madi-
son, Lake Preston, Huron and Yank-
ton have also taken steps in that direc-
ton. The growth OF the free silver
doctrine among republicans in this
state has been very rapid of late. You
can count on your fingers the newspa-
pers opposed to the doctrine. What
the result at the next convention will
be is easy to predict. The Vermillion
Republican Is still hard money ad-
vocate and breaches sound money and
honest currency, all OF which is very
good and with which we agree. Every
citizen advocates honest money" end
"a sound currency" The term is gen.
erOus enough to take in everybody.
But as to whether an appreciating cur
rency is an honest one for the working
masses is an entirely different ques-
ton. So far rs we are concerned, we
possess friendliness for silver, vet
like many young man, we are not so
tenacious about new doctrines as to
be hidebOund and believe that the
prosperity Of the world depends upon
free silver. Free silver is becoming
the popular fad in all parties, and so
far AS South Dakota Is concerned she
is today pledged to the doctrine by all
its political leaders Of whatever stripe.
So the tail can go with the hide, and
we will wait and watch for the COM
ing struggle In the national parties
between the west and the effete east.

A prominent electric company has
collected some startling figures, which
show the almost incalculable influence
Of the introduction OF the electric car
taken merely on its one basis OF re-
placing the horse for traction pur-
poses. 1t is estimated, says an ex-
change, that electric cars have already
displaced |, 400, 900 horses. and this es.
innate is manifestly far below the ac-
tual number. The feeding Of these
horses would entail the consumption
OF 500, 900 bushels OF corn or oats day.
The animals are now back on grass,
and the enormous decrease In corn

and oats consumption caused by their
withdrawal Is sufficient to appreciate
ly affect the prices OF these grains. In
round figures 1t amounts to $50, OOO, 900
bushels year. There Is another view
OF this subject, the Significance Of
which will be probably more apparent
a few years hence than it is even now.
The loss Of commercial demand for
these coarse grains in the cities means
an enormous decrease in the tonnage
OF the railroad freight traffic. This
failure is already put at minimum OF
25O, 100 carloads. But it Is not only in
public traffic that the day OF the horse
is waning. In some cities the electric
car lines have been SO judiciously dis
tributed and give such excellent SER
vice that many private families have
given up their carriages and use the
electric cars instead. In many places
the business Of the liverymen is prac-
tically ruined by the electric car, and,
as at Niagara Falls, the formerly AFRO
giant and extortionate hackman has
become comparatively civil and tenn
porizing individual. The electric car
and the bicycle have sounded the
knell OF the horse us commercial

MORTON FoR A SINGLE STANDARD.


Dosen't Believe the Price OF the Precious
Metals Can he Fixed.
WASHINGTON. April g Secretary Nor
ton in an interview on the silver question
said: 81 do not believe that an interna-
tioral congress can establish permanently
a commercial ratio between gold and sill
yer eny more than it can establish a per-
manent commercial ratio between rye
and wheat. But il an international con-
ference can fix the price in gold or silver
c can also fix the price of wheat or OF
any other commodity.
Ny own judgment is that we must
sooner or later declare that the United
States of America recognizes gold as the
best and least flucsuating measure of
value and medium of exchange which the
commerce of civilization has thus far
utilized 1t is barely possible the financial
falIacieslof the Populists may temporarily
secure majority of the voters OF the
United States. Should such a catastrophe
oyertake the country the people must
learn by experience what they should have
learned by diligen. study and reason.
The time for straddlers has passed.
Those who are for sound currency on n
gold basis ought to have the courage to
say SO and abide by the results Of .heir
declaration. have no hesitation
In declaring myself utterly opposed to all
the free coinage faliacies. The Presidents
critics. however. ask what sound money
isf An ordinary man Of business may
answer that question.
"'Soupd money Is that sort OF cur
rency which has the most universal and
least fuctuating purchasing power in the
markets Of all countries That money is
the 'soundcst' for which throughout the
commerce of the civilized world there is
the most universal demand. And that
universal demand is always based upon
the universal and unfluctuating purchas-
ing power of that money"

the members of the Kansas City Live
Stock exchange, have noticed with pro-
found regret the newspaper agitation
about the cost of live stock and the I'M
warranted and untrue statements made.
Alleged conversations with you of a
proposed investigation have been the
basis of a series of newspaper articles
which have had the effect of causing the
market for live stock to be unwarrant-
ably agitated. We can only attribute
this and its consequent serious loss to the
direct results of reports alleged to origi-
nate from your department concerning
Investigations you propose to make.
Prices of live stock have decreased corre-
spondingly with the consumption of
beef, and we therefore respectively pro-
test against the widespread agitation for
which your department. seems responsible
and respectfully suggest that investiga-
ton be made quickly and without further
harmful agitation. We court a full and
thorough Investigation of all interests
connected with the live stock market"
