The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1896-06-16

A significant fact in this connection
is that Caleb Simms of New York, a
prominent Platt colored man, and an
instructed alternate for Morton, was
one of the leaders in the movement of
the colored men towards Reed. In ad-
dition to this movement, the Kereps
faction of the Missouri delegation, ow-
ing to the fact that Mr.. Hanna is sup
posed to be treating with Chauncey !.
Filley, had boldly announced that they
were through with Mr.. Mckinley, took
down his pictures and announced them.

more rejoicing in the Reed camp. Mr..

was as much life about their own head

Marvelou Results.

From letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we are permitted to make this extract: "I have 20 hesitation in recommending Dr. Kings New Discovery, as the re- suits were almost marvellous in the case of my wife. While 1 was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible par oxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friepd recommended Dr. Kings New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in its results. :" Trial bottles free at H. c. Hitchcock's s drug store. Regular size 50c. and $l.

value of silver, the common heritage of man, throughout the world.

value of silver, the common heritage of man, throughout the world.
 Now that, under tho higher law, we cannot have silver, the question pre-. sents itself, what will become its sub stitute in .he absence of Q sufliciency of minted gold? The prolific brain of George w. Peck has solved the query. He advises raising wolves, and sup ports the idea upon the ground that the woods are full of them and that states and territories pay bounties on scalps, and he further suggests that the value of scalpe, us currency, can be supplemented by making the products of the farm legal tender for all debts, public and private, including duties upon imports, interest upon the public debt and contributions to the mission ary fund. Peck's table of values is thus given: Zen cars of corn, one cent; ten cucumbers, one dime; ten watormelons, one dollar; ten bushels of wheat, one eagle.
 THE BELT takes issue with Mir. Peck upon the value of the cucumber and watermelon, for the reason that the cucumber is breeder of tspeworms and the melon is productive of cholera morbus.
 Since the crucifixion no greater calamity has befellen mankind than the characterization of silver, and the re- sultant sorrow which the incoming ad- ministration hopes to assuage by inau- gural festivities, which, however, will not cheer the hearts of working men and women who, by their position, are to "the hastening ills of life prey" and the more we contem- plate the assuring picture of Peck the more our hearts outrun our fears, and patiently await the coming of the next presidential election, when with Bryan in the field we will witness the other fellow in the hole, and although the silver cause has been extensively killed, it is not entirely speeches., and John Bull is left without . shadow of hope of further dictating the financial policy of Uncle Sam four years hence.

two thousand pounds, defrayea from his own purse.
 A picture in Brands Popular An tiquities represents the bringing in of the Yule log on Christmas evo, which was always cut from the largest tree to be found in the neighborhood, for the reason that as long as the log lasted, after being set fire to, the servants of the house were entitled to ale at their meals.
 Come, bring with noise,
 My merie, merrie boys,
 The Christmas log to the firing;
 While my good dame she
 Bids ye all be free
 And drink to your heart desiring. The Christmas carol is of great an- tiquity. Bishop Taylor observes that the "Gloris in Excelsis," the we'll known hymn sung by angels to the shepherds at our Lords nativity, was the earliest Christmas carol Some of the carols sung in England were far from religious, however. A Christ mas song in Poor Richards Almanac for 1895, runs:-
 Now twice welcome Christmas,
 Which brings us good cheer,
 Mined pies and plumo-porridge
 Good ale and strong beer;
 With pig, goose and capon,
 The best that may be-
 So well doth the weather
 And our stomachs agree"
 Minced pies and plum-porridge fell under the ban of the early church. Nevertheless, the Christmas pie con- tinued to be one of the chief pastries during this festive season. The New castle Chronice of Jan. 6, TITO, makes mention of a Christmas pie near nine feet in circumference, which weighed twelve stone. 'It was neatly fitted with case and four wheels to facili- tate its use to every guest that inclined to partake of its contents at table" Come, guard this night the Christmas pie. That the thiefc, though 'er so sly, With his flesh hooks don't com nie
 To catch it." Christmas has lost somewhat of its significance and sensual pleasure since the ''brave days of old," when castle and hall rang with mirth and jollity. Perhaps our observance of the holiday is more rational, and comports with the changes and advances in civilizs- tion, but from a Christian standpoint there is still much to be desired in it's celebration. There is too much sI. changing of gifts among the rich, to the neglect of the needy. Christ said, "lf you give to those from whom you expect to receive, what profit have you?" Christmas should be season devoted to charitable deeds, and especially to remembering the poor and practicing those virtues which Christ preached and exsmplified in his life on earth-an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.

THE CROSS OF GOLD.

The approaching change of govern ment, Hanna says, will result in the continuation of healthy influence. The change will be one of persons only, not of policy, and will increase the demand for gold to the exclusion of silver money and the happy assur- ance that our bond traffic with our transatlantic brethren will not be lm- paired.
 Under the influence of the new ad- ministration Bryan will not be an hon. ored guest, nor will reference be made in McKinlsy's inaugural to Sec. VIII of tho constitution of the United States, wherein the power to "coin money and regulate the value thereof" is given, but which is silent as to the power to emit bills of credit and there fore restricts anything but gold and silver coin as tender in payment of debts These are provisions of the fundamental law adopted the 17th day of September, in the year of our Lord l7S7, and of the independence of the United States the twelfth, and which are still in force and cannot be amended except as provided by the constitution.
 In this connection it is pertinent to inquire what; caused eastern states to so strongly, by their representatives in the constitutional convention, indorse silver in 17S7 and at the ballot box in 1896 repudiate it as money medium, on fixed ratio with gold, established by congress The edict of the fathers of the Republic is still ''the law and the testimony" and to talk otherwise, even though the lips of supreme court, men who can read and construe the English language must conclude "that speech is given to men to dis guise their thoughts.
 There was q time when judges were held in supreme reverence, but Judges are but men, aud in all ages have shown full share of frailty," and it was because of that opinion that Charles Sumner unburdened his mind before the United States senate, and charged "that the worst crimes of his tory have been perpetrsted under their sanction, and that the blood of martyrs and patriots crying from the ground summoned them to justice"
 Sumner was "the greatest Roman of them alp among Republicans of his day, and yet William J. Bryan was de- nounced by Republican newspapers and speakers for assuming to question the authority and integrity of the su- preme court, when his strictures were less caustic than the language of Sumner.
 William H. Seward, U. $, senator from New York, in addressing that body averred that there was higher law than the constitution of the United States, and doubtless it was that insane idea that unhinged the constitutional

And yet not all are happy-there is no billiard table or bowling alley, or saloon where they can play seven-up for the drinks, and even some are found who are sensitive about wearing striped clothing.

CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR THE

From the Arizona Citizen: It is with n feeling of sincere satisfaction that The Citizen records the marked improvement of the latest edition of the Globe SILVER BRLT. Globe is rapidly advancing on the path of per maneat prosperity, and there has been no more potent factor in the upbuild ing of that wonderful camp than its able champion, TTH SILVER BELT. Judge Hackney and J. H. Hamill, the editors, have always been to the front in the advancement of every scheme which had for its object the advance ment of the interests of Globe, and the reward which has followed their patient, conscientious, persistent work is simply just return for all their labor, and is source of deep satisfac- ton to their many friends throughout the territory.
 Graham County Bulletin: THE ARI- IONA SILVER BELT comes from Globe this week bristling with news of that busy, prosperous mountain city. Globe has had general business revival and growth during the past year. Many new and promising mining enterprises have been undertaken and all the old industries have enlarged Tn capacity by the addition of new, enlarged and i'm proved machinery. With the season of growth it is pleasing to note that Messrs. Hackney & Hamill, of THE SILVER BELT, have kept pace with the onward march. THE BEET is now nearing its twentieth annual mile stone and has always been classed among the very best of Arizona journals. Always careful and correct in giving facts, con- servative in expression of opinion, it has long ranked as one of che ablest edited papers in the territory.
