And sweet delight shall thrill my heart,

Which focuses upon wheel

Until ! seek to put chem back.

exigencies of the situation. We are still
able to discern the silver lining which
has always been. to US, apparent in the
margin of the dark cloud which has
been hanging so long and threateningly
over the Pioneer city, and the fact that
it is daily expanding and becoming
more clearly apparent is a source Of
solid satisfaction, inasmuch as it stimu-
lates hope in the direction of the final
realization Of our long deferred pros.

announce its entry upon its eighteenth

The prospect for the election of Nc
Kinley are daily growing brighter. The
masses are now engaged in determining
for themselves. by careful study ofthe
political situation. the true origin of the
existing depressed condition of the
country and the proper remedy there
for. Upon q proper understanding OF
the questions at issue, which there is
good reason to believe will be largely
gained by the voter during the pending
campaign, the election of Mckinley and
the hope this country manifestly de-
pends. Hon. Robert j. Gamble. South
Dakota's eminent and popular repre-.
sentative in congress, spoke wisely
when he recently said: "The hope OF
the nation is in the republican party,
whose policies have energized every in
dustry, given life and strength to every
production. stimulated labor and capital
to their highest endeavors. and brought
happiness and plenty to every home.
All these win surely call back to power
this great party ia November next, Tor
upon it are centered the hope and the
well-being of the nation"

Denounced as a Forgery

An article first appearing in the Oma-
ha World-Heral, and lately largely
copied by the demo-pop papers of the
west under the caption of Put this in
Your Hat" and purporting to have been
taken from the London Financial News,
is now denounced by that paper as a
forgery, no such article having ever ap-
peared in its columns. In the article
referred to the loss Of trade with South
America. China and Japan was forecast
as consequence Of national folly in
allowing the United States to get ahead
of England in the adoption Of bi metal
ism. The News says:
"No such article was ever printed by
US, and its whole tenor is directly op-
posed to the view We haye taken of the
effect of free silver in the United States.
so far from advocating free silver coin
age, we haye persistently pointed out
that its spells reputation and the with
drawal OF all European capital"
Will the demo-pops, who have been
so industriously circulating the forged
article in Custer. with a view to aiding
them in bolstering up forlorn hope
take the pains TO correct the false i'm
pressions thus made? We trow not.
