Indian LEGISLATION.

WAsuINGToN, D. c., April 25-The
house members interested in Indian
legislation conferred yesterday on
the defeat of the Platt amendment
in the senate and as to what course
they should pursue. It was decided
to have Chairman Sherman, of the
Indian affairs committee, call UP the
compromise bill between the Dawes
and Curtis bill at rs early date as
possible.
Mr.. Curtis, of Kansas, said: 81
think the bill will be called up next
week, and the committee on rules
will then be asked to apportion time
for its consideration"
"Do you think you viii be allowed
time?"
"Oh, yes, think so. l think we
will get it up the latter part of next
week or the week following"
Mr.. Curtis, when asked what he
thought of the chances of its passage,
said he believed it would go through
the house and would stand a good
show in the senate. Senators wlo
have been anxious to have the Indian
Territory legislation enacted at this
/ session do not, however, share this
view. They say that the defeat OF
+ the Platt amendment indicates that
/ the lobby has done its work well, and
that no Indian Territory legislation
is to be expected before congress
adjourns.

Republican National Committee.
Chicago Headquarters.

OCTOBER. Goth, 1896,
10 REPUBLICAN STATE AND COUNTY
CHAltMEN AND LOCAL COMMITTEES
MEN,
The following has been issued by the
Republican National Committee:
THE American flag has been in the
present campaign the emblem or insig-
MA Of national honor. It's influence
has been for great good in the cause OF
good people. Its display in many
places has been potent in the advance
ment OF the country's battle for the
maintenance Of its honor at home and
abroad. It is, therefore, suggested that
on Saturday, Oct. 81, all who intend to
vote on Nov. 3 for the preservation oil
our national honor, for sound money,
and The advancement of our peoples
interests and general prosperity display
the national cOlOrs at their homes,
their places Of business. or wherever
they may be seen, in order that the
voters whose hearts are for their
country may be strengthened in their
purpose and those who are undeterm-
ined may the more periodically and
intelligently conclude how pest to per-
form their duty as citizens.

u CANDIDATES.

There is q duty for the citizens OF
Union county to perform on November
3, which they should. in our opinion
willingly perform. W. have had one
OF our citizens chosen by the repub-
lican party of the state - their leader
and standard bearer. He has lived
with us practically all his life, and his
course has always been an honorable
and consistent one. The eyes OF all in
the state will on November 3, be fas'
tened upon Union county to see how
they treat their distinguished fellow
citizen at the ballot box. He has been
so long identified with the interests OF
the county that it is useless to point
out the many things he has accom-
plished and aided in bringing about.
To a large extent it is the desire OF all,
irrespective OF party, to support home
candidates. Whatever advantage is to
be secured from the position of govern
or will rebound to the credit OF Union
county, and bring a few of the bless.
ings of having an able representative
in the governors chair.
For these reasons, then, we believe
it is the duty of all to support by a
complimentary vote, and thus show
our appreciation OF the honor con-
ferred.
The COURIER believes in advocating
Union county's interests and lettin g
the outside follow. 1t will rebound to
the credit of our town and county to
have a governor chosen from our midst.
Then aid in bringing that about by
casting your vote for A. o. Ringsrud.

Sixteen to One.

Sioux Falls Press: The free and un.
limited coinage of silver ut the ratio o.
Is to l by the United States alone is
Contrary to the lessons of ex perience,
Contrary to the teachings of logic
and philosophy; and
There Is not 4 single argument from
either history or reason to controver,
this proposition.
1t is condemned by every scientific
political economist who ever wrote
upon the subject.
1t would inevitably result in silver
recommendation.
1t is an gorgeous interference with
every interest essential to the financial
and commercial and industrial welfare
of the nation.
1t would result in an overwhelming
destruction OF values of every sort and
kind-except silver mines.
II anybody is determined to vote for
free silver, right or wrong,-then, Of
course, he Is beyond logic and reason.
II anybody anywhere is willing tc
subject his views on the question o.
investigation, the Press will be glad
for the opportunity to demonstrate its
contentious as above specified.
No citizen ought to be willing stub
bornly to support that WHICH threatens
such disaster as free silver threatens.
Unless all this nation a be prosper
Gus, rs 1t can be after McKinley's cleo
tion, then no citizen has any assurance
OF prosperity.
Our first task is to secure prosperity
OF the nation.
Free silver will absolutely render
any such thing impossible.
Do you want to contribute to tina
impossibility?
II not, then don't vote for Bryan.

THE LAST WORD.

This is the last issue of THE Co..
RIER before election, and to tie reader
we wish to say that upon yonr vote may
depend to some extent the fate OF your
country. There never was p time when
the country stood in more danger than
it now stands from the issues which
confront it. We hope you have
weighed well every argument that has
been presented, and have decided to
lend your influence to the republican
side Of the ~question-fOr on that side
is practically every interest OF any
moment. Every business house, every
firm, every property-holder, and every
man who may have anything at stake
AS a general thing-they are united
70 save the integrity and honor of the
country. There never was a time
even in l86l-when the question at is.
u really carried more general danger
than in 1896.
To upset the very foundation stones
OF vaIue-which has remained the
same since Washington's time to today
is a proposition in the light of history
no man should for a moment under.
take.

And the country will 60 for McKin-
ley-sure!
Can you think Of . single disadvant-
age which would come to South Da-
kota by going for Mckinley, when the
country at large is bound TO be for
him?
And the country will go for McKin-
ley-sure!
Look at this matter as . cold bust
ness proposition.
Even II you are an advocate Of free
silver you want to get the best out Of
events and circumstances rs they ac-
tually exist-don't you?
That is the basis upon which you
conduct your ordinary affairs.
Why not treat this matter upon the
same basis?
Why cut of your business nose to
spite your political face?
Take things as they are even If they
may not be exactly what you would
like.
The practical fact is that the only
success you can achieve is linked with
the development Of South Dakota.
Things have so shaped themselves
that unq~uestionably the development
Of South Dakota will be promoted very
much more by q big majority for Nc
Kinley than by anything else.
What then is a ~silverite's chance to
do something for his own benefit as a
citizen?
He cannot possibly promote this ben
eft In any particular whatever by a
vote for Bryan.
The only thing any citizen Of South
Dakota can do is help his state-be-
cause he can't possibly do anything 90
far as affecting the result in the nation
is concerned.
Let us all be good rustlers and hus-
tlers for South Dakota, and thus i'm
prove u opportunities for business
here.
This 10 the practical business aspect
Of the campaign.

AN INSULT.

The Elk Point Leader in it's last is
sue accused Archbishop Ireland of be-
iLg a "divine hypocrite.' A local ad-
nirer Of the Archbishop stepped up
into the Office and gave the young man
who presides over the destinies of the
shop q piece of his mind with regard to
the insult to the Archbishop. 1t is
simply an abomination to every lover
OF fair play to accuse SO distinguished
an Irish-American as the Archbishop
OF being q "divine %hypocrite." Nobody
but a fool would think Of calling him
such q name.
We hope that every true friend of
Honest John Ireland will resent the
imputation placed on his character.
