NALEDICTORN.

IT'S autumn. somber autumn, ana the Joys
of summer flee;
Wen miss the tender tootle of the song
bird on the tree.
But more than sylvan music and the per-
fumes of the field,
Wen miss the men whose praises from the
beaching-b boards once pealed
No more well hear that orator, whose
nevcr-failing voice,
Has ever boded tumuit--we refer to Scrap
py Joyce.
And wen pine for that debater upon
ethics and on law,
Who is mostly known sas Muggsy, though
his last name is McGraw.
Where now is the bold umpire with the
nerve to call u strike
On the wizard of the e'willow whom we hail
as silent Nike"
There is nothing that would so warm lu
the cookies of the heart
As to gaze on Jiggsy Parrott while he
practices Delslrte.
But the rootcrs all have vanished with the
silent leaves that fail.
There is only desolation where they once
were playing ball.
We mourn for FOShorn Miller, Jebbly Jack
and Bid McPhce.
And all such famous folk who made the
wclkin ring with glcC.
'Tis all in vain another glimpse the fan
who fingers begS
OF Cartwright, gallant Cartwright, with
the staunch piano-lnEs.
Kid Gleason and Bug Holiday, Mute Hoy
and Cupid Childs,
Have gone from the arena into dark OBJ
liviOn's wilds.
'Tis true that cen the splendors of an en-
pire cannot stay.
But lust the same, it's hard to see our
pets thus fade away;
To call in vain for Chip McGarr Pink
Hawlcy, and the rest,
And hear. in answer, but the wind that's
sohbing in the west;
To wander unrestricted through the old
environments.
With no one near to stop you and demand
your fifty cents.
But daylight follows darkness, and the
memories of yore.
Give glorious assurance of things that are
in store.
And patiently Wen listen for the song
birds carolling,
For We know that like the robins, they'll
be with us in the spring.

that the few who control the debt, the
currency, the money of the world, have
combined either consciously, or uncon-
sciously, to make the debtor pay more
than the creditor has right to ask.
The tendency has always been in this
world to put the burdens on those least
able to bear them. In barbarian coun-
tries the women have to do all the work
simply because they are weaker-that
is all. And the others being stronger
do not eXpend their strength in max
ing the weak ones work. This is pre-
cisely the same in our civilized society
OF to-day. Between the poor and the
rich if the burden is to be borne in
this country it is by the poor-always.
They are the first to suffer. Let the
blast of war blow over this country,
who goes to war? The millionaire?
Not one. Who goes? The great pres
idents of corporations? No. The men
who preside over great vaults OF gold?
Not much! The poor man goes because
nine times out of ten the poor man is
the more patriotic. The poor bear the
burdens of this country and of this
world. Only few years ago our mon
ey was gold and silyer--money that has
been the money of man for thousands
of years. Our silver was demonetfzed
and gold made the standard. There is
no man in the United StaLes with in
genuity enough to account for the de-
monetization of silver in 1873 There
is not one. do not think the few
should have the right to combine TO in
crease the value of-what the people call
meney against the debtor and in favor
of all the creditors.

from his state to the convention, has
issued invitations for each silver state
delegation to send one representative
to a conference which is to meet ut
Chicago June 3Oth, Just one week in
advance of the convention, and which
is to form itself into a silver steering
committee" for the purpose of watch
ing their opponents and to avoid the
pitfalls which may be dug for the sll-
Yer delegated.
The senate bond Investigating COM
mittee, after taking the testimony OF
Secretary Carlisle and that of one OF
his assistants, have gone to New \ ork,
to hear what Banker Morgan and some
of his associates have to say about their
part in the bond issues. Some surprise
was caused by the mildness of the
cross-eXamlnation of Secretary Carlisle
by the committee. 1t may be that the
committee intends to recall Secretary
Carlisle after it returns from New
York. If not, it is pretty safe to pre-
dict that the Investigation will be like
mary others which have been conduct
ed by congressional committees barren
of results.
Notwithstanding the Knockout Of
Comptroller Bowler by the Supreme
Court he has an lmitator in a small
way. The would-be Bowler is Sixth
Auditor Howard. He doesn't haye
any opportunities for five million
hold-ups, but he makes the most of the
opportunities he does have in passing
upon postal accounts, and is reported
to have made himself SO obnoxious to
Postmaster General Wilson that he has
suggested to President Cleveland that
it would be good idea to request MIR.
Howard's resignation. Howard is one
of those big headed officials who I'M
AGNES that the weight of the whole
government is resting on his shoulders,
and who thinks it a part of his duties
to bully his subordinates. 1t he is made
to resign, the government will probab-
ly still continue TO do business.

Sioux Falls Press, Is Not many can
ever know the feelings with
which the editor of The Press
read the dispatch from ST. Louis
announcing that Senator Pettigrew
had determined that he cannot remain
in the republican party upon a colo
standard platform. 1t meant to the
writer very much more than anybody
could know. 1t meant the straining OF
political ties which have existed for
near score of years. 1t meant thai
Senator Pettigrew has taken step
which the Press cannot endorse. In
his various contests within the repub-
iican party the Press has always been
with him, and would in all probability
be with him to the end. But when be
feels called upon to 90 outside the par
ty, for any cause that may appeal how
ever strongly to his personal conyic
tions, the Press is sure that it is guilty
OF no breach OF loyalty if it sees its own
duty in the of remaining republican
paper nevertheless
In thus remaining arepublican news
paper, the Press does not in any degree
whatever relenquish its convictions as
to the financial issue now confronting
the country. 1t believes in the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, even
though the most august council of the
national republican party has not in
dorsed it-but it believes also, and with
perhaps equal strength, in certain
things for which the republican party
does stand as the special exponent.
However strongly it may believe in
free coinage. it feels that this cannot
be achieved until the republican party
shall take it up: and when the republi.
can party says, as it will say, that it
will not take up this doctrine at this
time, the Press remains nevertheless
republican, hoping for the time when
the majority of the party shall perhaps
view une question Us IEe minority view
it now in the nation at large.
Nobody can understand better than
the Press what sacrifice the step taken
| by Senator Pettigrew has cost him.
The Press believes absolutely that what
| he has determined upon has been be.
cause he believed it to be right and
honest end patriotic. But the Press
for itself is equally as firmly convinced
that it's duties of right and
honesty and patriotism demand thai
it shall remain an advocate of republi
canism, whatever may be the convic
tions of its closest friend and Longest
political co-worker.
There are many things in this con
nection which might be said: but it i:
enough for the Press to say at this
time that if Frank Pettigrew shall fol
low the free silver so strenuously ant
with such faithfulness, as it seems Ger
tain he will follow it, that it takes hin
out OF the republican party, the Press
is profoundly sorry-more sorry thar
it can tell. But it itself will neverthe
less continue to work for the publ,
! welfare as republican newspaper.
