Important Discoveries Made.

London. August 22.-News of the
great success of the University of Penn
sylvania expedition to Babylonia has
been received here. The most notable
result of the excavations is that the his
tory of the Babylonian people, as record
ed in cuneiform writing on tablets, is
carried back at least $3.50 years further
than yet known. There is now abund
ant written evidence that the Babylonian
people existed and were civilized enough
to be able to write at least 900 years

The Democratic party at Chicago
wisely eschewed all Republicanism. 1t
Is again the patty of Jefferson and Jack
son, with no higher ambition than to
serve the American people and do their
will. The Republican party would have
to wait and ask England what she thinks
of the free coinage of silver. The Dem
ocratic party doesn't care continental
what England thinks about this or apy
American question. Had George Wash.
lngton consulted England this free re-
public would never have been. We
would be the slaves of England TODAY.
as the Republican party would have us
be her money slaves. 1t is un-Ameri-
can, un-patriotic. cowardly and con-
temptible for us to consult any Eu-
ropean power about the domestic policy
of our government.

A Desperate Burglar.

Chicago, August 25.-Finding him
self shut out from all means of escape q
burglar, whose identity is as yet un-
known, shot and instantly killed him
self near the corner of twelfth street and
Lawndale avenue last night At the
time he was being pursued by several
police officers, and they had SO far
gained upon him that he would soon
have been in custody. The fugitive be-
came desperate when he realized this
and turned to face his pursuers, at the
same time drawing revolver, He fired
one shot at the officers before turning
the weapon upon himself, but the buI.
let flew wide. He then shot and killed
himself.

THE Pittsburg Post in comparing the
the present campaign with that of An
drew Jackson against the United States
Bank, in 1886, says:
1t is the same battle that is on to-day.
1t is the same banded money and cor
poration power that is fighting the peo-
pie to-day that Jackson overcame more
than 60 years ago, but with resources
and power vastly increased. 1t infiuen-
ces and controls the press of the great
eastern cities, or wherever there are
great aggregations of capital, just as it
did in Jackson's times. | has its bish
ops and clergy and lawyers and eminent
ly respectables preaching gold bug
finance and denouncing the plain people
as anarchists and repudiators, precisely
as in Jackson's times. 1t claims for
itself the respectability, intelligence and
money, just as it did over 60 years ago
1t is as great pretender and as big q
sham now as ever.
But the people have a champion to-
day, just as they had away back in the
sos. "Young Hickory" has come out
of the west. and he is in the field to lead
the plain people-the farmers and the
workingmen and the business men-tC
as glorious victory as Jackson con
quered, and win it against pretty much
the same influences, but nightly
strengthened in power and resources
In this year of our Lord it is money
against votes, and the votes are bound
to win the victory.

Baby Was Drowned.

Little Joe Mieller, only 13 months old,
son of John Mieller, West Deer town
ship, was drowned in a peculiar way yes
terday. The little child was toddling
about the yard, and walked up to a
bucket. 1t was full of water, and in
some way the boy fell head first into the
vessel. The boy of course could not
scream. and in few minutes he was
drowned. His mother, who had not
missed him, went to the yard, and to
her horror she discovered her baby
dead. The discovery unnerved the
mothor, and she is now in a very pre-
precarious condition.

Concerning Cattle.

H. A. Goddard of Hermosa passed
through the city on his way home
from Duglass Wyo., where he has
been buying cattle. He had $500
native Wyoming cattle shipped to
the Hills which will be delivered to
a new cattle company which has a
ranch out in the Sand Hills where
they are raising alfalfa. The COM
pany is composed of G.. G.. Ware, B.
r. Ankeny Of this city, Earnest May
of Lead and others. Mr.. Goddard
who is manager of the V ranch on
the Moreau river, says that cattle
are in splendid condition The grass
is fine and north of the Sulphur river
rain has been abundant this spring
and summer. Between the Sulphur
and Belle Fourche it has been ex-
ceedingly dry and cattlemen along
the Belle Fourche are moving north.

We are glad that Bro. Wallace has

from his present point of view and
his mind should be at ease. But
we venture the assertion that before
the close of the present campaign he
will find some "obstructions that
will prove as distasteful as The

make a cleanup" on The Republi-
can he will do better than any in

Cattle Shipments at Huron.

Huron, S. D., July 25.-Large
numbers of cattle are coming to
this point for shipment to eastern
markets. Beadle county is this
year furnished some of the finest
beef cattle eastern markets have
ever seen. They are marketed two
weeks or more earlier than usual,
and are in the best possible con-
dition. Heavy trainloads pass here
daily from ranches on the Sioux
reservation and along the Missouri
river. Chicago & Northwestern
railway officials estimate that from
10000 to 10000 head will be shipped
from this part of the state over their
their lines to eastern markets before
the first of January. Besides those
coming from the western ranges,
large numbers from Potter, Sully
and Sphinx counties, extra trains
have been put on to meet the
demands of shippers.

Packers Not Entirely to Blame.

Mr.. Allen, the manager Of the
Standard cattle company, makes
bold to say: have never been one
Of those who lay the low price of
cattle at the door of the great
slaughtering companies. Without
question they have taken advantage
every possible point in their flavor
and they are like all buyers--bears
on the market. The buyers in
their employment work under
rigid orders, and their purchases
are carefully scrutinized. Whether
there is any agreement or not
between the great packers, they
certainly have had no temptation to
fight with each other for cattle, and
no doubt they have kept out Of each
other s way, since there has been
more than enough cattle for all of
them. When good gratifying to me
to see the dressed beef men beign to
look little anxious; but | really
think they have been absurd for
the last five years. Some Of the
charges against them have been
absurd and ridiculous. The contest
about them has ragged for years with
great acrimony, leading to con-
gressional examinations and com
mites of inquiry; but all this has
led to nothing except to give some
statesman a chance to go before
their constituents as friends of the
farmers and at this time operations
against the dressed beef monopoly
have apparently naturally died out.
My opinion is that much Of this
movement has come from inherent
tendency in many men to lay the
blame for their misfortunes on some
cause outside Of themselves or nat
ural conditions. We can all real
ize that it is not easy for the govern
ment to obtain thoroughly reliable
statistics as to the actual number Of
cattle in the country now available
for the beef supply. Year after year
we have seen receipts on the market
larger than those Of the year before
and | am not satisfied with the claim
made by some that these large re-
ceipts are caused entirely by the
concentrating of the business at a
few points; in fact I believe that
there is still more slaughtering done
throughout the country districts
than some persons claim. SO.
