Policy of the SilVarifaa

Congressman Shaffroth, Of Colorado,
on his arrival in Washington, gave out
that he had conference with Senator
Teller and reached an agreement as to
the policy which the silver extremists
will follow in congress, says the Mime
apolis Tribune. They will not permit
the Dingley bill to become a law at this
session, if they can help it, and will
oppose the passage of any tariff measure.
But in the next congress, after McKin-
ley becomes president, they will not
stand in the way of tariff legislation
Their point is that they want to hold
the republicans responsible for tariff
legislation. They say that if the Ding
ley bill should pass and become law
through the action or non-action of
President Cleveland, and it failed to
restore prosperity, the republicans could
deny responsibility for it. They could
claim that it was not republican, but
only compromise measure. There is
oOuiO III tiilo
and it ought to suit the republicans.
The fact is, that the Dineley bill, while
il might do some good, could not restore
the measure Of prosperity that the
country wants. 1t would strengthen
the revenues and might bring a small
measure Of prosperity, but it would not
be broad, sweeping, universal, republi
can prosperity. Only a republican
tariff law, with specific in place of ad
valorem duties, and keynote of pro-
lection to American industry, coupled
with reciprocity running through it, caa
do that. If the silverites will refrain
from obstructing tariff legislation in the
Fifty. fifth congress, all will be plain
sailing, and President Mckinley can
call IN extra session in the full assur-
ance that the needed republican tariff
legislation can be effectuated.

President Cleveland's message 10 con-
gress was read before both houses on
Monday. The message is quite lengthy,
requiring over eleven columns Of space
in its presentation in the metropolitan
daily papers. The situation in Cuba is
reviewed at length, but nothing definite
is outlined as to the future policy of the
government In that direction. Whens
summed up there is little. comfort in il
for either Spain or Cubans, and so far as
recommending any definite action on
the part of the government looking to
the early settlem, At of the matter, that
would seem to have been referred to
the incoming administration, which
being republican may safely be de-
pended upon to adjust the matter with
that degree of diplomotic wisdom for
which the party has long since become
proverbial. The president affirms his
faith in the present tariff bill, which he
thinks that if allowed fair opportunity
will yield revenue which, with reason
able economy, will overcome all de-
ficencies. all of which is the veriest
nonsense, and it is safe to assume that
his views in this direction will have
little weight among the members of the
body to whom they are addressed. Mr..
Cleteland also urges the retirement of
the greenbacks. another recommends
tion which will doubtless receive but
little congressional consideration. He
also urges further and more effective
legislation against trusts, and strong
appeal for greater economy in public
expenditures, all of which is commend.
able and should be carefully observed.
The document is, in some respects, an
able review Of governmental questions,
a more extended reference to which is
necessarily ommitted by reason of our
limited space.

The State Canvass,

The canvassing board on the national
officer. late last night, says Pierre
dispatch Of the 5th, accepted and count
ed all returns on electors with the ex-
ception of those from Lawrence and
Butte with the unorganized counties
attached). The returns from those
counties were not counted on account Of
Irregularities.
While the populists all left the city
without taking any legal proceedings in
regard to the count of electors, it is no "
known that they had drafted papers for
an application for an alternative writ of
mandamus asking for the issuance of
certificates of election TO the candidates
shown to have the highest number of
votes on the figures from all counties,
but for some reason they did not make
application to the court for the writ.
At 8 o'clock tonight Attorney Stewart,
for Richard J. Wood, one of the repub-
lican electors, appeared before the su
preme court and ash ed for an alternative
writ of mandamus ordering certificates
of election to be issued to the republican
electors on the vote now before the
board, excluding the votes of Lawrence
and Butte counties, which give the pop
ulists about 700 majority and the leaving
out of which would give the republican
electors majority. The court refused
to grant an alternative writ, but granted
an order to show cause why perempt.
ory writ should not issue and set the
hearing on the same for 10 a. m. s tur-
day, December IL.
No action was taken in regard to the
count on congressman and it cannot be
learned whether such action will be
taken or not.
The total vote on the repeal of pro-
hibit ion was: In favor Of 32,91l
against 24,8ll.

The Letcher Blade thus Outlines
policy for the republicans in the pend
ing session of the state legislature,
which, if successfully carried out might
result in blasting the bud of aspiring
populistic hope and greatly tend to the
material welfare of the state. It says:
"The Blade is very much in earnest In
wanting to see the republicans in the
legislature throw sentiment to the winds
and do business from the very begin
ming 1t would have them name the
speaker as well as the senator. Neither
need necessarily be populist. The
democrats have II members in the leg
islature. These IL, added to the repub-
lican strength, would control the stua-
ton. Moreover, the populists are
divided into two hostile camps and re-
publicans could act with one of these
factions and direct the course of events.
With this double possibility they are in
position to do business that means
business. The Blade is strongly in
favor Of taking a hand in game that
offers such inducements"

owned by the Rockefeller company
that corporation may be able to dictate
terms to Mr.. Carnegie and his associates,
instead of beirg dictated to.
Mr.. Rockefeller's scheme is not new.
He has had it in mind for several years,
but not until now has he been ready to
put it into effect. His preliminary
movements have, as usual, been kept
quiet. Not until today did anything
reach the public, and then accidentally.
Some weeks ago large plot of land was
purchased in South Chicago. The sellers
were the Calumet Canal and Dock COM
pany, and several private individuals; /;
the real buyer was not publicly known.
The price was in the neighborhood Of
$5O0,000, divided into three payments,
The frs. installment was paid when the
deed was signed, and the next two will
be made December IS. 1t was not nee.
essary that Mr.. Rockefeller should
divide the sum.
The iron and steel busIness-at least
that part of IL dealing in steel inils--,s
controlled entirely by Carnegie and his
two allies, the Illinois Steel company of
Chicago, and the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company of Pueblo, Colo. The
price Of rails at Pittsburg is S2S, at
Chicago S29, at Pueblo $33, whichever
of these three concerns is nearest the
purchasers, gets the order. Rails cannot
be had of any one else. This is the
situation which Mr.. Rockefeller has
tackled. He expects to make steel rails
from % to 80 per cent cheaper than the
trust can and can sell them much
cheaper. The new mills at South Chi
cago will not be confined to the manu-
facture of steel rails, however, but will
make structural iron Of all sorts as well.
1t is stated further, and on good au-
thority, that Mr.. Rockefeller may even
90 into the armor plate business. The
site of the new works is good for NAM
moth rolling mill. The river at this
point is twenty feet in depth, enough to
foat the largest lake vessels, and pro-
yides perfect entrance for the Stard-
ard Oil ships, which will carry ore from
the mines at Lake Superior. These
same boats will serve as a powerful whip
in the hands of the Standard Oil mag
nate, in case the railroads attempt to fight
HIM, for they can also be used for the.
grain trade, and literally demoralize
freight rates in every direction.

The Yankton Press and Dakotan, in a
recent issue concludes an extended ac-
count of the Black Hills with the follow
lug favorable mention: "The Black
Hills of South Dakota are now in the
early full tide of prosperity. The ex.
perimental era has gone by, and it now
builds upon solid foundation. While
the full extent of it's mineral wealth
cannot be known, enough is known to
warrant the claim that it is one of the
richest of equal area in the known
world, and to warrant prudent and
enterprising men in building their
homes there and laying their plans for
an active and prosperous life work. A
rare advantage OF the Black Hills oyer
many mineral regions is its natural at
fractions which include a marvellous
climate and most enchanting scenery.
1t has entered upon prosperous career
that will soen be manifested not only to
this portion of the state but to the coun.
try generally and to the world at large"

populists in this case appears to get his
due. The Huronite says:
"The Sioux Falls Press proposes a plan
by which republican members OF the
could combine with the
friends Of Kyle and reflect him to the
United States senate. The Huronite 10
astonished at such advice from the Press.
For six years aud In three campaigns
the Press and other republican papers Of
the state have been exposing the record
Of Kyle in the senate, and now to join
with his friends and r~e-elect him; would
be to endorse Senator Kyle and ~stultify
the republican party. The Huronite
trusts that the republican members IN
the next legislature will vote for a re-
publican senator. Let the populists
elect Kyle's successor. What Frank
Pettigrew wants and what he does not
want should not bother republicans
any longer. In fact, it looks to the
Huronite as though the Pettigrew buzz
saw had better be left alone. 1t has
done damage enough already, without
being run through the party again. The
Press objects to Loucks, on what
grounds the Huronite fails to see, save
it be that Petite. ew wants him elected.
The election Of Loucks to succeed Kyle
would be n act OF the populist party
which the Huronite could endorse. Mr..

with him, and we know him to be nj
able man, an honest one, a true friend to
his party, sincere in the advocacy of his
principles. He is less the demagogue
than most any man Of prominence in
the populist party, and for republicans
to defeat him and assist to send Kyle
condemnation from the rank and file Of
the party. Let republican members at
tend to their own affairs at Pierre, and
let the populists send whom they choose
to the senate. Whether 1t sends whom
Senator Pettigrew wants or not matters
little to the republicans OF the state.
