Interstate Commerce Commission De-
cIsiOM EnXOrnhle TO TINT Citx.

c1s1Oh FONOrubIe TO thNt CITY.
SIOUX FALLS, S. d., Dec. 9.-(Speclal.)--
To say that Sioux Falls merchants in general
and the wholesalers and jobbers in particular
are pleased with the decision of the Inter
state Commerce commission in the Sioux
Falls rate case is putting it tamely. The
fight was begun ten years ago by leading Job
bers here to secure the Missouri river rate
which is enjoyed by Sioux City. The fight
has been partially decided in favor of Sioux
Falls twice before, when some individual
road would grant the desired rate These
lines were soon whipped back into line by
the other roads and the rate was taken out
again. Nearly three years ago the jobbers
here, together with Senator Pettgrew, per-
suaded a committee from the Interstate Com
merce commission TO visit Sioux Falls and
investigate the matter. Sioux City, which
had been Sioux Falls greatest opponent in
this matter, sent a delegation here and
argued before the committee against allowing
the Missouri river rate into the city. Nearly
year ago the matter was argued before the
commission on briefs, and the decision Just
rendered not only favors Sioux Falls but is
a decision which is far reaching In the west.
II means for this city that the Missouri river
rate will be put in here and the per cent
from Duluth charged over Sioux City will
be cut of. The Chicago rate will be the same
here as to Sioux City. Heretofore this city
has been in the hands Of the railroads SO far
as rates were concerned, but now the mer-
chants here have decision of the Interstate
Commerce commission to stand on which will
give them their rights The outlook is for
decided boom In the Wholesale industry
here.

Its University at Moscow commands

its kind. 1t is in full operation.
with good faculty and liberal and

students. Its Normal schools at Al

fattering auspices. The Albion Nor.
NAL has been in operation for six
months past with a strong faculty
and fair attendance.
The building boom for schools has
been almost phenomenal. Nearly every

by erecting handsome stone and brick
buildings of the most beautiful and
convenient designs. Idaho Falls.

the financial issues, are encrCaching
upon the same extreme, and are pre-
dlcting and threatening dire results
Mr.. Sibley, who aspires to the pres
idency on the silver ticket, said in q
speech the other day 'If we lose in
1896, reputation or revolution is
sure TO come" Eastern gold men are
equally as incorporate and unreasou
able in their speeches. Such reckless
statements cannot possibly help either
side. When men go to the extreme
OF forcing the measures they advocate
by incendiary and infammatory
speeches they hurt their cause rather
than promote it, and when the time
of great trial and danger comes they
cease to be leaders. Pryor, Yancy,
Brooks, Wigfall and Toombs we're
far from being recognized leaders as
army officers or as civilians after the
war had begun, and yet they were the
foremost in bringing on the war.
Our people will no longer be led by
fire eaters and loud talking and loud
sounding orators. They are level.
headed and will give heed only to
legitimate arguments offered in sup
port of the propositions for changes
in the currency under discussion. The
threats to leave parties and to fy to
others are as idle winds and cause
no alarm in the rank and file of the
parties from which they come. To be
Jealous and enthusiastic in support of
measure is well enough, but an at
tempt to bulldoze and drive measures
against their ready sanction will find
but poor encouragement from a sober
thinking and conservative people.
Republicans may leave their party
for gold or for silver, but il good
times return, If prosperous days come
back to us under the present admins
tration, no Democrat will leave his
party for gold or silver or for any
other cause.
