BLUCHER ON THE RHINE.
From Kopisch.

Twas on the Rhine the armies lay:
10 France or not? is't yea, or nay
They pondered long, and pondered
well,
At length old Blucher brake the
spell,
Bring here the map to me!
The road to France is straight and
free.
Where is the foe?" - The foe?
why here!"
Well beat him ! forwards never
fear!
Say where lies Paris2 = Paris?
herel"
Well take it! forwards! never fear!
so throw the bridge across the
Rhine.
,Methinks the Frenchman's spark
ling wiue
VIII taste the best where grows the
vine."

The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1895-03-23

The business men Of Madison have
been most generous in advertising in
our paper and we hope that the ladies
will show their appreciation by patron
izing them az literally as the contents
OF their purses will permit.
No city Of its size can boast OF better
dry goods stores than can Madison.
We mention the dry goods, not because
these houses are better Of their kind
than are other business firms. but be
cause ladies' are more apt to purchase
dry goods abroad Than other household
supplies. When the ladies Of any city
go or send away for a large part of their
shopping, not only the merchants but
the entire city are losers thereby. The
more our merchants sell, the greater va
riety of goods will they be able to keep
and the lower can they afford to sell
By patronizing home industries We shall
be adding to the prosperity Of our city

children's being allowed to play in the
streets, especially at night. BY their in
innate acquaintance with companions
often low and vile they obtain a knowl-
edge Of evil, and also practice many
wicked deeds which would shock their
complacent mothers who are SO ready to
believe that their own children neither
would nor could do anything very bad.
The long list Of criminals is constant
ly recruited by those whose feet were
first led astray by the bad influences
arising from spending long evenings on
the streets. But though we do not
claim that every child on our streets at
night will sooner or later be found in a
reform school OF behind prison bars, still
we do maintain that few OF them will
ever have any true love or appreciation
for u home life.
II parents wish their children to pre-.
fer to spend their evenings at home in
stead Of on the street, they must be will
ling to sacrifice, il need be, their own
ease aud comfort that the bone may be
a pleasant place for the children to stay
in. II suitable amusements are provi-
did, a young child will seldom seek the
dangerous allurements of the street.
The mother Of four sturdy boys whose
furniture was often in a dllapidated con.
dltion, once remarked to her neighbor,
II would rather my boys should break
my furniture o than my heart in a
few years from now"

Speak we'll Of your own city. II you
cannot do 80 consistently with a regard
for the truth, then go to work with a de-
termination to make Madison such q
city as you could mention with pride.
20 not stand sill and criticise the ef-
forts Of more energetic and public spir-
tied citizens who are trying to improve
the city, but lend a helping hand to
whatever will better your city.
II, however, your dislike arises from
causes that cannot be avoided, such as
climate, location, etc., then sound sense
and good judgment would dictate that
you 60 elsewhere to some town where
you can be happy. The pioneers OF any
city who have long worked for it's sue,
cess and prosperity, dislike to hear new.
comers make disparaging remarks about
the city.

The editors Of The DAILY LEADER
wish to that the columns Of
this paper are open to a fair discussion
of any question Of general interest to
the public; and lest any who are opposed
to equal suffrage might think that their
side Of this question has not been fairly
treated, we will state that we tried to
find a woman who was willing to write
an article for our paper, telling her reas-
ons for thinking women ought not to
have the ballot granted to them.
After long and diligent search a kind
hearted lady was found who agreed to
write such an article. A few days after
wards, however, she begged to be ex-
cused from the task, saying that the
more she though on this subject the
more reasons occurred to her in favor Of
the acknowledgment Of women, and she
was unwilling to attempt to write against
it 80 long as such women as Frances E.
Willard and Lady Henry Somerset fav-
ored it.
Again the ~persevering editor began
the search for q who would con-
sent to write against equal suffrage, but
such a one could not be found.

OUERIES

We have often been told that
our minds are such that we cannot un-
derstand politics, and granting this We
implore the men whose keen intellects
are able to comprehend political affairs,
kindly to explain some things. which puz-
zle us.
The average woman cannot understand
why, if it is right TO give the people an
opportunity to vote again on the Prohib-
itory law, it is not also right to give
them an opportunity to vote on Equal
Suffrage.
The average m cannot under
stand why a political party that makes
pledges before election, should after
election at Pierre violate these pledges.
The average woman cannot under
staLd how the legislators after taking
an oath that they have not accepted
'any pass from any corporation or com
pan for any vote or influence they may
give or withhold on any appropriation
OF for any other official act" can ride to
Pierre on passes. II the railroad COM
pany does not expect the lawmakers to
be Influenced by such passes, why, then,
do they graft them?

The pen is mightier than the sword.

The Ladies of the Presbyterian church
For earning money are in search.
An empty treasury and debts unpaid
Was the only purpose THE scheme was laid
To publish one issue of THE DAILY LEADER
IT'S only one issue, remember, reader.
The editor has kindly given consent
To print it for us for a small per cent.
The editorial staf was selected with care.
The lively reporters have done their full share
The advertising solicitors know what to do,
AZ you will discover before you get through.
We hope the critics will not he severe
II some mistakes in our paper appear.
Ills no easy matter, as youswill see.
To edit a paper with \, b and c.
To merit the approval of all, we hope.
With like editions we've tried to cope:
And If we should gain any notoriety,
Remember twas accomplished by the Aid So
ripty.

woMAN,s WORK IN THE cHURCI

wOMAN's WORE IN THE CHURCH.
What is woman's sphere? What is not
woman's sphere, the legislative body Of
our progressive (?) state Of South Dako-
ia has fully demonstrated. One need
not go back to the dark ages to find
VIII, t the world considers the sphere Of
woman. But the world is being enlight.
ened, and when asked to-day man hesi-
tates to answer, the range covered is so
wide, long, and high. She has asserted
herself and there seems to be no limit to
her powers; her nam is found in every
calling.
The commercial world knows her and
it also recognizes the fact, that when
woman exercises her powers she can be-
come a successful financier.
Journalism claims her attention, and
her name is Synonymous with all that is
high and noble for the uplifting Of her
sex and the good Of mankind. Books
are written, magazines and v daily
papers are edited exclusively by women,
and successfully, as witness this issue Of
The DAILY LEADER.
Every social organization, to which
both men and women belong, is not COM
plete or entirely successful without
woman's help to guide the financial
craft.
The church to be successful must
have woman prominent in her affairs.
Women banded together into a society
nled0o themselves to do what thew can.
and they fulfill their pledges; ergo, their
success.
For example, take the Ladies' Aid 60
ciety of the Presbyterian church in this
city; see the grand work they have done
since first organized in 1888: The dis
couragements of starting q new church

THE BILL.

At five minutes before twelve o'clock
on the last day Of the session Of the
tifty-third congress, President Cleveland
signed the a~nti-lottery bill. The bill
passed in 1890 forbidding the use Of the
United States mails to the lotteries, was
an advance, but accomplished very lit
tie so long as the express could be used.
The present law comprehends all agen-
cies OF inter state or foreign commerce.
The penalty is fine or imprisonment for
the first offense and for subsequent Of
lenses, imprisonment.
The Louisiana Lottery company was
chartered in 1868. In 1890, it attempt
ed to get q renewal of it's charter. But
to the everlasting honor Of the people of
Louisiana, the attempt failed, albeit the
company offered to give to the state a
contribution equivalent to 1926 for
every voter in the state. Driven out Of
Louisiana. the lottery has had its head
quarters in Florida and South America.
The long fight for anti lottery began
many years ago, in a few Of the states;
now it has triumphed in every state and
in the nation. The lottery is an outlaw
from n end to the other Of our coun-
try. With Mr.. Jasper we a say, "the
! world do move" And the result OF this

and woman was one OF the prime movers.

VIM. Lee, Mrs. A. w. Clark and many
others, who are still here and working
faithfully, some of whom have rams
ferred their allegiance TO other churches.
Since their first organization the ladies'
have received over $1,000. The first
church they helped to build they saw
disappear from their sight in smoke and
flame. But woman is never discouraged,
and with renewed efforts the society in
1891 raised nearly $1,000 and saw their
beautiful brick structure they now occu-
by completed. Their pastor and his
family, through the untiring efforts of
this same society, enjoy a large and CON-
modious manse erected that same year.
The pleasant and convenient church
p~arlors, furnished during early spring
