The New York World has been inter
viewing the governors Of the respective
states on the business situation, South
Dakota's governor among the others.
The latter was equal to the emergency.
Here is the correspondence:
"Hon. G. II. Sheldon-Do you think
there is a general revival of business in
South Dakota? Do you think the first
years operations OF Wilson tariff has
been favorable to wage earners and
general busin, IS: Is the future outlook
in your state unusually promising:
Kindly telegraph answer at our expense.
TO this the governor replied: 40 the
World, New York city-The abundant
crops which we have harvested, the
large shipments Of fat cattle which We
are marketing at good prices, the I'M
usual activity in mining interests in the
Black Hills, with other causes, give US u
a degree Of present prosperity which is
gratifying, Notwithstanding the low
prices of our farm products. The Will
son tariff law is not favorable to wage
earners. No nation can afford to ap-
proach free trade SO long as it is able TO
supply it's own people with food, furnish
material for its mills, and does not
manufacture largely more than its "
people can consume. No mar in this
country ever saw really good times eX-
cept when every laboring man who
wanted employment could get it and at
reasonable wages. That can never be
the case SO long as we go abroad 70 buy
what we ought to make for ourselves.

president of the indianapolis board of
trade writes: | have read with interest
the very comprehensive grain and
market reports published In your

large in the north vest, here In the three
great winter wheat states we will not
have half "a crop, and that of poor
quality, not 10 per cen of it grading No.
=, and our farmers not selling what they
have. In view af these facts, 1T seems a
sacrifice for the farmers of the north
west to unload their wheat to the eleva-
tor men at the extremely low prices that
prevail at present. There is cot a doubt
but If they can hold on to their wheat it
will bring over 80 cents on the crop, and
as soon as tine elevator men of Chicago

prices. the advance will be quick and
sharp, as our mills IN the winter wheat

WHEN WOMAN IS NOT GRACEFUL
Conditions Under Which She Manages t"
Look Absurd.

Conditions Under Which She Manages t"
Look Absurd.
Why is it that, Notwithstanding the
worship accorded to woman in the alb
stract, she generally manages to look
absurd under conditions wherein men
try to keep their dignity? Is it stereo-
typed convention which hampers our
judgments, or are these things really
facts? For instance, there is nothing re-
markable in an old gentleman crossing
a street or even walking in a gale Of
wind, but place an elderly woman,
somewhat portly, in the same situation,
and the result is a caricature. Her pet
ticoats outline her shape absurdly, a
vast expanse Of stocking fills a doubt
full gap, and her feet seem to straggle
helplessly.
Few women can enter a carriage,
mount the steps of a coach or hurry in
to a hanson gracefully, while the spec
tacle of a woman getting into a boat is
far from pleasing. A stout lady on a BIZ
cycle gives fair cause for ridicule, and
yet fat people dance far more lightly
and buoyantly than thin people. The
slimmest girl cannot run pretti,y, and
as for football, we have seen the re-
suits.
But, to leave the sphere Of athletics,
a dowager in a low dress is far from
pleasing, while the multiplicity Of OBJ
jects carried by a woman when out shop
ping seems to hamper and render her
movements awkward. She has none of
the convenient pockets affected by men,
she is always seeking for her pocket
handkerchief or struggling to extract
her purse from the black folds of her
gown, or burdened with an umbrella,
a parcel, a satchel or with her dress it.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Judge seaman of

exclusion act Tuesday when he dis
charged from custody the four China
men arrested III Detroit for entering the
United States, and who We're ordered to
be deported by Commissioner Graves of
that city. Judge Seaman, i'll discharg-
ing the men, questioned the constitu-
tionality of the act. He based his de-
cisiOu on that section of the act which
gives to commissioners the same power
as is given to IA judge. Judge Seaman
holds that the powers Of Il commissioner
are limited. He cannot pass sentence
and infict fines, but simply hold to the
federal grand jury.
