ought to know it is but dead skele-
ton of the past. 1t is wrong for any
body of men to impose such an obli-
cation upon any ones conscience.
And it is immoral for any man to give
up his freedom of thought and con-
science at the mandate of any human
tribunal. We can honestly extend
our sympathy to our Presbyterian
friends who are seeking freedom from
the clutch Of the dead hand of the
past. And we can express our hope
that they will soon be successful in
laying the old mummy in the grave
of oblivion, to remain until the day
of doom when it, along with all the
ancient spectres of darkness, will be
brought out for final judgment in
the light of the eternal truth and the
all-embracing love which will then
be manifest to the eyes of all the
children of God.

WHAT ARE OLD STYLE AND NEW
STYLE?

1t may be well to preserve the answer
in our scrap books. as the question is
often asked, and the exact answer often
forgotten. The primitive and natural
calendar was by months - that is,
months time from one new moon
to another. But as twelve moons did
not quite equal one revolution of the
earth around the sun, an extra month
was occasionally put in to make the
lenar and solar years agree. julius
Caesar, B. G. %. arranged for twelve
months in every year by having some of
them contain thirty days, some thirty.
one, and February twenty-eight. Add
all those days together and you will see
that you have 365. AS the solar year
was really about 1861 days in length
he decreed that to every fourth year
there should be another day added, plac-
ing it at the end of February. the shortest
month. giuing us February % in leap, or
bissextible ears. But the Julian calen-
dar was not absolutely perfect. That
about" made fuss, as inaccuracies,
however slight, usually do in time. The
true year was not quite 3654 days, but
365 days, hours. 4S minutes, 46 seconds
After 1000 years had passed away those
few second became ten days!
The Gregorian Calendar. Pope Greg
DRY Kill in 1882 devised wise plan to
correct the error, by arranging that the
last year of each century should not be
leap year, excepting the year ending
every fourth century. 4. e., if it can be
divided by 400 without remainder it is a
leap year, otherwise net. Thus, 100,
1900 and 1900 are not leap years, but
1000 will be one. The plan was not
adopted in Protestant England for
nearly 200 years.
The new style in England was adopted
in 1852, when the discrepancy had
amounted to eleven days, and that time
was simply dropped from the calendar.
September of that year being reckoned
as September IA. But it took a long
time to drop the old dates, or, rather,
to turn them into the corresponding
dates of the new calendar. Note
that the eleven days were to be added
in case of dates that of period, i. e.,
1852, but that in adjusting dates of
previous centuries less number is nec-
essary. as the discrepancy had not then
become so large. Forgetfulness of that
fact caused for many years the curious
mistake of celebrating December 22d,

MIR. GLADSTONE ON THE BIBLE.

Mr.. Gladstone may be out of politics,
but he is not out of sight out of mind.
There is no man living whose word is
listened to 50 eagerly even yet. Indeed,
there are few men living whose word is
so we'll worth listening to. His recent
Essay" on the Bible has attracted
widest comment and attention in Eng
land. There are few passages about the
Bible more truly eloquent and beautiful
and that because perfectly true, than
the paragraph with which the essay
closes. 1t deserves the widest reading
that quotation can give to it,
"'Heayen and earth shall pass away
but my words shall not pass away AS
they have lived and wrought, so they
will live and work. From the teachers
chair and from the pastors pulpit, in
the humblest hymn that ever mount ed
to the ear of God from beneath cot
tage roof, and in the rich, melodious
choir of the noblest cathedral, their
sound is gone out into all lands, and
the words unto the ends of the world
Nor here alone, but in thousand silent
and unsupported forms will they I'M
weariedly prosecute their holy office.
Who doubts that, times without mum.
Der, particular portions of Scripture find
their way to the human soul as if en-
bassies from on high, each with it's own
commission of comfort. of guidance, or
of warning?
What crisis, what trouble, what per.
plexity of life has failed, or can fail. to
draw from this inexhaustible treasure
house its proper supply? What profess
sion, what position, is not daily and
hourly enriched by these words which
repetition never weakens. which carry
W it'll them now, as in the days of their
first utterance, the freshness of youth
and Immortality? When the solitary
student opens all his heart to drink them
in, they will reward his toll.
"And in forms yet more hidden and
withdrawn, in the retirement of the
chamber, in the stiffness of the night
season, upon the bed of sickness, and in
the face of death, the Bible will be there,
its several words, how often winged with
their several and special. messages, to
heal and to soothe, to uplift and uphold,
to invigorate and stir. Nay more, per.
haps, than this; amid the crowds of the
court. or the forum, or the street. or the
market place, when every thought of
every soul seems to be set upon the ex-
elements of ambition, or of business, or
of pleasure. there too, even there, the
still small voice of the Holy Bible will
be heard, and the soul. aided by some
blessed word. may find wings like dove,
may flee away and be at rest

A late Aberdeen, S. d., special to the
Minneapolis Tribune says: "The pop
ulists and democrats will make a desper-
ate effort to save the legislature.
Neither Kyle nor Loucks, their candi-
dates for the senate, inspire them with
enthusiasm, but they feel that their
cause is doubly lost when their voting
strength in the United States senate is
seen to be slipping away from them.
In some counties, heretofore considered
doubtful. the popocrats have practically
abandoned their county ticket and are
making their fight for their legislative
nominees. The legislature may be
close but the republicans will win.
They have good many candidates for
the senate, but the fact is rather an
element of strength than weakness, as
they are working unitedly and systema-
tically."

The CHRONICLE cannot refrain from
expressing its qualification over the
nomination of ticket by the republ;-
cans of Custer county at their late con-
vention in this city, every candidate
upon which it can so earnestly and
heartily endorse. The election of every
candidate on the ticket is important,
and result for which every republican
in the county should put forth an earn

The Importance OF the election OF re-
publican to represent Custer county in
the state legislature is far reaching,
inasmuch as upon this issue may de-
pend the election of a republican U. s.
senator to succeed Kyle. In this con-
nection it is pleasing to note that the
republican candidate, L. BaIlou, of
Buffalo Gap, whose nomination for rep
resentative was made unanimous by the
convention, is we'll known by the
CHRONICLE to be gentleman who pos.
sesses in an eminent degree. the qualifi-
cations necessary to full discharge of
the duties devolving upon him IN the
event of his election to this important
position. Mr.. Ballon is an old resident
of the county, identified with its inter-
ests, and familiar with its wants and
requirements. He is man of excellent
ability, pronounced integrity, and in all
respects worthy and deserving of the
strong support he will doubtless receive
at the hands Of his party in the pending
political campaign.

Campaign Gems.

The Rapid City Journal quotes the
following sensational and significant
gems from speeches made by Freeman
Knowles, of Deadwood, in the eastern
part of the state during the present
campaign. Freeman Knowles, the
popoc-atic candidate for congress, is
well ..nown in this section, says the
Journal, and the utterances he has
made create no surprise here. 1t will
be remembered that his nomination was
opposed at the Huron convention by
Senator Pettigrew and others on the
ground that he was totally unfit for the
position. Since that time q change OF
heart has come over the senator and he
to-day is doing all in his power to Sc
cure the election Of this man Knowles.
The following are some of his utterances
in the eastern part of the state:
God is considered a myth and the
golden rule dream.
Christianity is an amusement for
charity societies.
Selfshness in power compels all men
to become selfish in self defense.
In short there's hell on earth and
terror in heaven.
There is neither peace on earth nor
good will toward men.
Jesus Christ would be crucitied, or
put in as yag in two hours if he came
again in the form of man.
Call us anarchists if you please, shoot
us down if you will but you cannot JUS
tify yourselves. There is not enough
prison pens to hold US all-not enough
insane asylums-not enough murderous
military hirelings to drink our blood.

Many are wondering at the fuss and
feathers over Bryan in all places visited
by him during the present campaign,
not a few of whom regard il as favor
able omen OF his election. Looking at
the matter from an intelligent stand
point, its significance is by no means
alarming and only indicates the degree
Of morbid curiosity on the part of q
certain class Of Americans for which
this country has long been noted. II
was observed that in Philadelphia and
other places, where the people are
largely opposed to him in political
sentiment, enormous crowds greeted,
him, which would seem to prove con-
clusively that the disposition manifested
by the people to greet him upon all
occasions is not due to a desire for his
political success. Stephen A Douglas,
in 1860, received similar attention, in
one instance crowding the cabin Of the
boat in which he was travelling to the
extent Of breaking it down. simply for
the honor of shaking hands with him,
and when the election came, as win be
the case with Bryan, it was determined
that he only received 1873 votes in the
whole country. These seemingly siQni-
ficant demonstrations are largely Of the
dress parade order, wholly unreliable
as an index of the general result which
important fact will be fully verified by
the count of the ballot when the game

The polemic faberist of our esteemed
contemporary, the Lead Call, is dis
posed to question the CHRONICLES sim
cerity in its expression of the prediction
that the republicans would carry Custer
county this fall. He expresses his be-
lief that the republicans will not carry
a single Black Hills county, and supple
ments such expression by the statement
that we do not believe they will. Now,
We can do 20 more than assure the
contumacious Call man of our deep and
undluted sincerity, while we are left in
maze Of wonder as to how he could
have become so much better informed
as to the political status of this county
than We. He will be sadder, but wiser,

The Hill City News man is not dis
posed to accept our open declaration
that the CHRONICLE never advocated the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the present proposed ration of l6 to /,
but insists that the paper committed
itself to that policy by its decided stand
with Mr.. Conzette Of Galena, in con-
troversy with +. p. Williams through
the columns of the Deadwood Mining
Review some time ago, in which Mr.. G..
advocated the cause Of free coinage. II
is true that the CHRONICLE named Mr..
Conzette as a foeman worthy Of the steel
of Mr.. Williams. and give some degree
of encouragement to Mr.. Conzette a. the
time, but that the paper has ever been
committed to the free silver policy ia
not fact, which the files clearly de-
monstrates, the free access to which is
offered to all persons disputing the pro-
position

DR.. Carpenter, manager of the Dead
wood smelter, is quoted as having said
that, Immediately after Bryan's nomina-
ton, it was determined that there was
not Mckinley man among the en-
ployes at that institution, and that at the
present time more than 33 per cent Of
these men have changed their views
Mckinley and sound money. This
instance may be cited as an index of the
change that is going on all over the
country. which bids fair to culminate in
the election Of Mckinley by the largest
majority ever given to any presidential
candidate in the nations history.
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1896-10-03

We used to hear good deal from the
free traders about Mckinley being the
logical candidate Of the republican
party for the presidency in 1896. They
declared then in most emphatic terms
that the tariff was the great issue. But
that was when they were flushed with
the triumph of their free trade ideas :
that was before the Wilson German law
had begun to operate; above all, that
was before the tidal wave of 1894. Now
it is another story. The free traders
are trying to get away from the force Of
their own logic. 1t is not surprising.
considering how rare logic is with them.
They are trying to get away from the
tariff issue; but it is an issue just the
same and it IL the issue which will Ge.
eide more votes than any other.-Enon-
omist.

Despalring Populists.

1t is the custom among the country
newspapers of this state, says q Yankton
-
in the papers, bat it is noticeable that not
more than half of the populist or free
silver papers are carrying the
populist state ticket at the head
of their columns. In Yankton
county the silverites are repre-
sented by one daily and two weeklies,
yet none OF them publishes the ticket or
has anything particularly good TO say Of
the state nominees. There is not the
most perfect harmony between the vari-
Gus factions that constitute the populist
party this year, and for tf is reason some
of the newspaper men decline to boom
the candidates as heretofore, unless
compensation is forthcoming. The
barrel of silver that their millionaire
candidate for governor was expected 10
tap and dispense among the popuist
newspapers has not yet been tapped,
and it is said that Mr.. Lee has become
convinced that all attempts TO carry
this state for the populists would be
fruitIess, and that further contributions
to the campaign fund would only be
waste of money.
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1896-10-03

The ballot to be voted this fall in this
state will be of unusual dimensions. 1t
is thus described by a Yankton corre-
spondent: "The ballot to be voted at
the coming election in this state will be
larger and for the average voter more
difficult to comprehend than anything
Of the kind ever used here. II will be
-A-
viii be unable TO do the work. There
will be four sets of presidential electors
three state tickets and two county and
legislative tickets in every county, and
in some counties there will be three
tickets In addition to all these ballots
printed upon one sheet, there are four
constitutional amendments to puzzle
the voter"

Tho Custer CHRONICLE and Keystone
Miner are given to romancIng, or Mark
Hanna has an agent at Custer and Key
stone.-Deadwood Pioneer.
Speaking for the CHRONICLE, we have
to say that, it most emphatically denies
the groundless allegation, and proclaims
its ability to demonstrate the absolute
verify of its statements at all times and
upon all occasions. If mark Hanna has
an agent in Custer. we are not aware Of
il, but We DO not hesitate to say that, ii
there be one here. he cannot be other
wise than highly pleased with the glow
ing outlook for republican success in
what has been, il now, and bids fair to
remain the banner republican town Of
the Black Hills.

Some time ago. says the Deadwood
Times, one Cunningham r. Scott, Of
Omaha, a so-called Judge was sent into
this country TO labor for the popocratic
national ticket, headed by William J.
Bryan, but reports had it that the ex-
pense of his trip was to be borne by the
republican national committee. This
after, however, was not believed at the
time, but the results Of his talk through
out the Hills accompanied by his acts
enc doings At various places, notably
hotel Bullock in this city, gave quite a
coloring to the aforesaid reports, for it
is well known that his ungentlemanly
conduct while here, coupled with his
actions upon the rostrum and abusive
treatment of subjects which he treated,
acted as boomerang and his mission
in this part of the country was Of no
benefit to the populist party and inter
ests. He went from the Hills to north
ern Wyoming, and we next hear from
him at Sheridan where a meeting was
held on Thursday, 18th, at which he
spoke, and from the stage he openly
and grossly insulted two ladies who
we're compelled by fatigue to retire from
the hall, and when a citizen (populist
by the way requested that the speaker
do not insult our ladies'" he, the afore-
said Scott, used insulting language to all
the ladies in the house. His friends at
tempted an excuse for him by the state
ment that he must have been drunk. 1t
is the hope that Judge (?) c. r. Scott will
continue his political discourses until
Nov. !3rd for he is doing yeomans service
for sound money and protection.

At the republican state headquarters
a complete poll of the state has been
made, says late Yankton special,
which shows that within the last thirty
days material gains have been made in
nearly every precinct in the state, q
large portion Of the gains coming from
the sound money democrats who think
that their interests would be best sub
served by voting for Mckinley. These
are gains that were unexpected at the
beginning Of the campaign, and are all
the more gratifying for this reason.
From the present indications there 10
reason to believe that the republican
vote will greatly exceed that Of two
years ago, while there will be about the
same number Of votes polled in the
state.

In an article from the facile faber of
Capt. Tom Eussell, recently appearing
in the Deadwood Mining Review, in
which the matchless merits ofthe mines
of Terry and free coinage are beautifully
blended, he quotes from Ex-Governor
Gilpin, of Colorado, distinguished
scholar and scientist, in support of the
theory, that the richest deposits of the
precious metals are found at the highest
elevations. The Custer mineral belt
being the highest in the Hills, must
therefore prove in its future deyelop-
ment, il the theory be true, to be the
richest in the region, a matter very
comforting in its contemplation. and
one which we trust may stimulate effort
in removing the barriers which now
shut ont from utilization the marvellous
treasures contained in the rock bound
vaults of this favored region.

President Diaz Of Mexico says the
United States clone can't enhance the
value of silver, US that question can only
be settled by international agreement.
Mexico has been a free silver country a
very long time, but she has never by
flee coinage been able to do anything
for silver by herself and she won't. Ask
the free silver crowd why Mexico
doesn't raise silver to Sl.29 per ounce
and they change the subject.

fact, that within less than two weeks
wheat has advanced nearly cents, flax
has advanced cents and July cotton
$40 bale. According to Coin" Har-
