Peculiar Case Provoked by the EIec-
tiOn In south Dukotn

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D.. Nov. 1O-(Spe-
cial)-During the campaign the democrats
and pOpulsts of Charles Mix county
charged that Rev. John p. Williamson re
publican nominee for member of the state
legislature, was not eligible to the office be-
cause no lived at Yankton agency, where he
is a missionary. Mr.. Williamson was elected
at the recent election, and all doubt OF his
eligibility to the Office is settled by letter
from Attorney General Crawford. The at
torney general refers to the fact that Mr.
Williamson resides on homestead which
has been patented to his church by the gov
ernment; that this homestead is at, but not
a part, of the Indian reservation at the
Sankton Indian agency, and rules besides
this that the mere fact that a person re-
sides upon government reservation land
who is otherwise qualified to vote. does not
disfranchise him, The attorney general
further rules that person is a legal voter
II he has the qualifications required in the
constitution, Notwithstanding he may live
on land owned by the government.

Henry Lnbouchcrc Comments on the
Recent American Election.


LONDON, Nov l0.-Commenting on the
recent election in the United States, Henry
Labouchere in Truth says:
If Mr. Bryan had been wise he would have
gone in for bimetallism. If II pleased him
but he could have left the ratio indefinite.
His ratio meant the right of all to repudiatc
half their obligations without this bettering
any one In the future.
But the ViCtOrS Will do well to realize that
apart from bimctallism there is "A strong
growing feeling In America against huge
aCCumulations Of capital in the hands of
individuals, obtained by means of trusts,
which are really monopolics, and gambling
with CoggCd dice in railroads The greedy
plutoCracy, unsupported by an armed force,
cannot long hold its own against the rights
and welbcing of all | am in nowise
should not have voted the democratic ticket
had II not been that | regard all tumpcr-
ing with the coinage of a country as iniu-
rious to all and II docs not strike me that
Mr. Bryan is up to the presidential mark.
Americas worst product Is its dollarCraCy,
whose members have literally nothing to
recommend them. The odds are that
either they or their parents acquired huge
fortunes by the most questionable means
As a rule, they are ignorant and vulgar
building houses in order to dazzle by ostCn-
tatious entertainments, and buying pic
lures for which they only care because
they have been acquired at high prices.
selling their souls TO any one who will cua-
bic them to hobnob with royalties, and their
daughters to any one who will confer n
title upon them. dcspising their own Coun-
try and institutions and regarding them
selves as in every respect superior to 9TH
crs on account of their dollars II the
United States is not to become a mere plu-
era ard oligarchic power, these wortlias
who have increased and are increasing
must greatly diminish.

TO MEET CANADIAN PACIFIC RATES.
Western Roads Want Co-Operation of

CHICAGO, Nov. 1O.-Passenger representa-

at the Great Northern hotel to discuss the
making OF joint rates, which will enable
the western lines to meet the rates made
by the Canadian Pacific from points in the
far northwest to points in the territory Of
the Joint Traffic association. The western
roads are very anxious that the rates be
made, but they are unable to meet the COM

have the cooperation of the lines in the
east.
The question of the abolition Of second
class rates from eastern territory was also
before the meeting.

house in the Shenandoah Valley
Mrs. B., the mother OF one OF the

As she sat watching her boy sip the
steamlng, savory broth, her eye caught

Christian woman. Her eye stole back

q bowl with the broth and put it to bis
lips, repeating to herself the words,
.For His sake; for His sake; tor HIS
sake T do it," Then she brought fresh
:, water. and batned the soldiers face and

her son. The next day when she re-
