SALT LAKE, April S.-The woman
suffrage article, which was passed to a
third reading by the convention several
days ago, came up again during the day

Unless the opposition a muster votes
enough to have this action reconsid-

INDIANS PROTEST

Against Allowing the State to Select
Lands on the Reservation
WASHINGTON, April S.-From time to
time protests have been received from
the Indians against allowing the state
of South Dakota to select lands in the
coded limits of the reservation. The
objections are based upon the claim
that if the state obtains the lands in
stead of settlers it will be many years
before they can be occupied The right
of the state to select lands cannot be de-
termined until after the lands are
opened for settlement and it makes ap-
~plication for selection.

Yankton Press, .: Great minds do
not always run n The same channel.
Discussing blmetallism, Chauncey NJ.
Depe% says:
/ will venture that 90 per cen Of the
people OF the east are III favor OF the gold
standard without any apologies. Where
the alleged issue Of silver coinage Is
thought about at ali 1t is merely that 1t
ia all right for one to take it up AS a
hobby if he has time.
The Right Hon. 4. J. Balfour, conser-
vative leader ia the British house Of
commons, made "a speech before the BIZ
metallic league of London and the re-
port of that speech says:
He said that the belief in bimetallism
is growing, not only in London and else
where in Great Britain. but throughout
the civilized world. One great change
was noticeable. 1t was seldom now as
serted that blmetal ism was intrinsically
impossible. Formerly,a bimetallist was
regarded as "a dangerous faddist. Econ
omists who placed value On the lessons
OF experience had before them the ir.
REPUTABLE fact that while the Latin "a
tions maintained the bimetallic system.
the par exchange OF gold and silver was
preserved for the whole world, despite
wars, industrial revolutions and discov.
cries OF the precious metals.
Depew characterizes bimetallism as q
hobby. Balfour demonstrates hat 1t il
something more than a fad. 1t is Gus
tomary for monometallists to call names
and quit, while the bimetallist goel
ahead and demonstrates his propositions
MI. Depew might have said somethin,
better. He might have told the truth
His ninety nine per cent OF gold bugs il
too palpable q misrepresentation to gail
credence. Mr.. Balfour states an lmpor
tant fact in connection with the Latll
union. Mr.. Depew dismisses the sui
iect and the interviewer with the iingc
ism that nothing but a miracle can wres
triumph from the republican party"

NO PROCLAMATION
Until Secretary Smith Decides on south
IDaketa's Claims. 80

VAST NGroS, Apri! S.-The procla-
nation for tie opening OF the Yankton
lands in South Dakota will not be is
sued until there can be an ~investiga-
ton by the secretary Oh the interior OF
the present contentious that exist.
Secretary Smith will determine whether
the state can select the land, and, if SO,
whether it will not be compelled also
to pay for them at the same price as
agreed upon in the treaty with the In
dams. In the enabling act admitting
South Dakota the state was granted
about 500, 600 acres of land. 1t is all
open question whether selections made
of coded Indian lands would not mean
that the state would get them free of
the charges which settlers have to pay,
$3. Is per acre. The proclamation will
be withheld until the questions are in
vestigated.

SOME VIEWS on SERMONS.

In the old hot days OF the Church."
says DR.. c. Il ParkhurSt, "one sermon
used 10 convert three thousand men: now
that the temperature is dowa it takes three
thousand sermons to convert one man "
If this charge were altogether true,
it would not bode well for nation that
claims Christianity as its iuspira tion;
but we do not believe that it is
II II bc true IN part. may not the blame
be charged up 10 the sermons themselves
In every branch Of the Christian Church
go day there are preachers as eloquent
as earnest. as intelligent as self sacrificing;
as truly imbued with the spiritof the Master,
as 10 The old hot days 4"
on the other hard, 10 speak plainly, we
have preachers who preach for revenue
only" VINO seem to aim more to please
the public eye than the eye of the Almighty,
who are not in active sympathy with the
poor ard the distressed, wao despise the
religion OF bare walls ard relish only
the "catacfrals pomp Of prayer" who
att4ne their periods 10 The aristocratic ear,
who are ever rafting the dry bones Of
theology and Ignoring living issues that
should have Christianity as their guide
and Interpreter.
These clergymen cannot bring the masses
Of the people TO their churches, and they
sometimes act as if they did not desire TO
do So. Were 1t otherwise, there would be
10 need FOR the Central Union Mission and
the Salvation Army.
There is too muca attention paid to flowers
Of rhetoric and too little TO what the Savior
himself called the spirit and the life OF
the Gospel. We have too many bigots and
politicians IN the pulpit aud too few who
preach TIE doctrine Of faith, hope and love.
As DIT Parkhurst says. intellectual
activity upon Christian themes is not

= PROBABLE FIASCO.

In Response to the request OF a citizens
meeting, President Griswold will make
an effort to resume operations on the An
acostia Street Railway. He will probably
ask his former employees to accept work at
the old wages and if they refuse viii
attempt to start tie cars with new drivers.
@ubIic sentiment in AnaCostia is strong
against this way Of setting the strike, ard
as it viii undoubtedly prove unsuccessful
conciliatory method of giving the people
OF Anacostia a street oarEeryice.
There are two things necessary to the
profitable opcrationof the Anacostia Street
Railway. First, capable business manage
ment and next. the good Will Of the people
who patronize it, Should President Girls
void persist in paying the old rate Of wages
and thereby incurring the continued hostility
of a majority Of AnacOsCans. il will have
been demonstrated that he is not a shrewd
business man or a competent manager of
the road. The difference between starya-
tion wages ana the 81 30 per day demanded
10y the strikers would soon be made up by
increased patronage, were AnacostianS gem
orally friendly toward President GriSwold
and his company.
Then again, unless the company can
afford to pay living wages the road had
better be abandoned and its charter for
feited. When it is known that an enterprise
s shaky or has no vigor in its management
it loses the respect of the public and is
looked upon as superaunuated, half-dead
nothingness. Ever since the controversy
about wages the Anacostia street railway
has borne this reputation, and it can never
regain public favor until somebody has the
good sense to pay decent wages and infuse
new life in it management.
Mark this prediction. II President Girls
will undertake TO run his cars with new
employees at the old rate of wages he will
lose enough in patronage alone TO have
paid the old drivers two dollars a day.

WHO WAS AT FAULT?

Serious complaint is made 10y the family

their Information of the affair was derived
from tie papers the next morning A
brother reports that he went to the hos
pital early in the morning to see the suicide,
but was refused admission by one attendant
who said that they Were all asleep"
Surely there is a strange lack OF human
sympathy when a man must die almost
within sight of his friends and yet beyond
their knowledge. And it is still more cruel
for these friends 10 find in after years that
they were refused the consolation OF wit
Messing the last moments OF q loved one
Perhaps in this instance neither the po-
lice nor the Emergency Hospital attendants
were at fault. bat II not some one was TO
