Fossil Asia.

Man in Asia seems radically dis
tinct from man in Europe and Amer
lea. These two divisions of human
kind stand so widely asunder ment-
ally that each is blankly unable to
comprehend the other. Thought
does not move in the same channels
in their minds, and the words "pro-
gress" and development" the
watchwords of the West, are replaced
by "custom" and precedent" in
the East. In short, thought does not
move at all in the Asiatic mind.
1t has no channel and indicates no
current. 1t spreads itself over a
broad field of ancient conception and
lies there stagnated, without even
the ~pulsation of the tides. Asiadoes
not question, it simply accepts For
two thousand years hardly a new
idea has been promulgated, hardly a
new process developed, in that Old
World of human history. As an ex-
ample of colossal dissatisfaction,
the mind of the ORIENTAL world is phe-
nomenal. Scarcely wind of
thought has stirred its surface, cert
ainly none has stirred its depths,
since the age of Confucius and Gauta-
ma in the east, Christ and Mohm-
med in the west, of that great cont

wAUBAY
c.. O.. n.

This must be a cold-water year for
South Dakota.
Beautiful snow in solution seems,
at this date, to be the everyday bill
of-fare, or, nor properly, evening.
1t was not a drizzle last Saturday
evening but a regular down-pour !;
rainwater could be dipped up almost
anywhere. There has been no dam
age to small grain and potatoes, as
yet. but corn begins to look a little
water-soaked, growing very slowly.
The hope is that when the Fourth of
July comes with its fire-cracker
brigade. it will warm the ground up
so that the corn can get a move on
itself and grow.
In the matter of treat, Waubay
has had nothing better than the two
evenings of Major Schools enter
tainment. 1t was we'll worth the
price of admission to look over his
curiosities I; the time was too short
to hear him explain them. On the
second evening, many were kept at
home by the flood of rain that made
street walking unpleasant, but those
who were there had all the fun they
could hold and did not heed the
water outside.
Fishing parties are constantly pass
ing through here and seem to be
well-equiPped for the sper. Have
not yet heard of anyone's attempt TO

HORSELESS CARRIAGES.
The Time Seems Ripe For Their Intro
duction and General Use.

1t may he some time before the per-
feet horseless carriage becomes a thor
oughly familiar object on our streets and
highways, but it is evident that the re-
cent race Of such vehicles from Paris to
Bordeaux and back has given an impetus
to American manufacturers which
should not remain long without good re-
suits.
For some time the dwellers along
Madison avenue, New York, have had
the opportunity Of watching the work
ing of one or two horscless vehicles,
which seem to do we'll Oh the asphalt
pavements, and now we are told that
the system will be given a trial by some
of u great retail dry goods houses in
the delivery of goods. The motive agency
to be used is gas produced from petro-
leum, which will give one horsepower at
a cost Of only a cent an hour for level
roads.
The horseless carriage is making n de-
cided bid for the welcome of cur fin de
steele age, and it would be well if our
manufacturers, protiting by the expert
ments made in France, should attempt
the production of the most perfect and
handsome vehicles possible. Indeed it
may be asked if the time has not come
to think of horseless carriage races in
the style of the recent one in France

We believe and hope there is no
truth to the reports in circulation
hat Gov. sheldon will pardon w.
w. Taylor before his term of Office
is out. The term of Imprisonment is
not excessive and should not be cut
down by any other way than of mer-
itorious conduct. This pardoning
power vested in the state executive
is all wrong and should be placed in
the hands Of a board not responsible
to any political party or so situated
as to benefit by political favors. The
frequency with which this power has
been exercised of late has called the
attention of the press of the west in
a manne that would seem to make
South Dakota an asylum for crimi-
mails. Another feature of this par
doning is the injustice as between
individuals. For instance, two men
are convicted of a crime, equally
guilty. Both are sentenced by a
wise court whose every faculty has
been called to examine and Judge of
the case. One, after serving a por-
ton Of his time, is set free through
the efforts of powerful friends, while
the other is obliged to pay the full
penalty. No, there is no reason that
Taylor should be pardoned than that
many other criminals should. He
has not made restitution although
his efforts have been good, of late.

Democratic Silver Men Do Not Favor n

MEMPHIS, June 81. -Immediately af.
ter the adjournment of the recent sill
yer convention in this city a number
that gathering. held a meeting and
plans were outlined for an organiza-
ton of free silver men within party
lines. AS a result of this meeting the
following address has been sent to
Democratic leaders throughout the
country:
Soon after the adjournment Of the
silver convention held in this city on
the 18th and 18th insts. many Demo
Gratis, representing several states Of the
union, held a meeting here for the pur-
pose Of considering the best method of
securing the
Free and Unlimited Coinage
of both silver and gold into full legal
tender money of ultimate redemption
at the ratio of 16 to ! without regard to
the financial policy of other countries,
and it was unanimously agreed as the
confident opinion of that conference:
First-That the only hope of securing
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at 16 to l is through the action of
the Democratic party.
Second-That a large majority Of the
Democratic party of the country and a
very large majority of the people of the
United States, irrespective Of party,
favor such coinage.
Third-That the success Of the Dem
ocratic party in the campaign of 1896
largely, if not wholly, depends on the
earnest and active advocacy of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
Call for a Conference.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, were
appointed a committee to take such
steps as may be necessary to a thorough
national organization of silver Demo-
Gratis and for hat purpose we respect
fully invite you to meet rs at Washing
ton on the l4th day of August, 1895, in

ate in establishing such organization,

you such Democratic friends as are in
full sympathy with this purpose.

The average populist is prone to
make the statement that the silver
question is the only n before the
people at this time, but it is a mis-
take. The paramount and most Vi
tai question of the day is the provid-
ing of an adequate revenue for the
running of the government, and the
ultimate payment of our national
debt. No business man., no matter
what line of trade engaged in, would
deliberately change his methods from
those hat enabled him to pay all
bills when due and lay by a nest-egg
for the future, to others that compel
the regular borrowing of capital
every SIX months or a year. As a
comparison in this distinction, we
quote some statistics compiled by
Mr.. Edward Atkinson that are psIti-
ncnt to this question.
"The revenue of the government in 1850 was
1855 per head aud the expense S5.29S; in 1851.
the revenue was S7,5S7 aud the expense 1896;
in 1890, the revenue was S6.577 aud the expense
Si.759; and in 1884. the revenue was sI455 aud
the expense S5.3l6. With proper economy, an
Increase of the revenue to s. per head will. in
fifteen years, yield 4 surplus 81 81 !Ol,gUO.OJO.
which may be used 10 pay OF the public debt.
Past experience shows how unpop-
ular is the levying of a direct tax,
and there is no better way of raising
the necessary revenue for govern
ment than by a tariff tax on imports,
We can hardly expect our securities
and obligations to foreign countries
to be received as gilt-edged when
we allow the present methods OF
financial administration to continue.
