That the National campaign just
closed was in reality a campaign of
education is proven by the wide
spread interest in and care
full attention given to the p~resenta-
ton of public questions by President
Cleveland in his fourth and final
annual message to Congress. No
message of late years was as eagerly
looked for and studied by the people
and the c%oncensus of opinion seems
very favorble to the document. Mr..
Cleveland has undoubtedly broad
ened in craftsmanship during his
last term, clearly shown by the vigor
and tone of his farewell message.
Rather lengthy there appears no
superfous words. In his opening
lines he congratulates the patriotism
OF the American people as shown by
the ready a~cquiesence in the result
OF the election. He next takes up
the Cuban question on which his
stand may not meet with the appro-
val of the extremists but it will
APP peal to those more c~onservatively
inclined. He declares there will be
no change Of attitude by the United
States government III the matter at
this time but points out that the
time may come when this country
will have to interfere and in the
meantime the United States offers
its services to bring about an adjust
ment of the difficulties and a termi-
nation of the war. He procIaims
his faith IN the present tariff law,
CLOSES over the fact of the continu-
ing deficit and seems to think it is
not a matter for apprehension. He
urges the retirement of the green.

Church's Metropolitan Company will
appear at the opera house Thursday
evening. Dec. II, in BARLEY Campbell's
famous masterpiece ''The Galley Slave
This is the strongest aggregation OF tai
ent in the northwest today and Manager
Small is to be congratulated on securing
such a talented attraction. This COM
pany is composed OF artists selected
from the front rank OF the theatrical pro
fession and is one seldom seen ontside Of
tine large cities. In fact, they play to
but four cities in South Dakota-Sioux
Falls, Watertown, Aberdeen and Web
ster. They carry q carload OF special
scenery, IL calcium tanks and their mag
nificent costumes. The press of Water
town, Sioux Falls and Aberdeen give
them the highest kind of endorsements
and it is to be hoped that the people of
Webster will show their appreciation OF
this great attraction by a most liberal
patronage.

Clark Pilot Review.

Clark Pilot-Review.
The educational institutions of
South Dakota, and more especially
the agricultural college, have been
the scene Of much turmoil during
the past few years, and during this
time whether right or wrong, Or.
McLouth has been considered the
cause of the trouble in that institu-
ton. The state government vas
burdened for years with this hard
fought college combat, and finally,
considering the absence of the doe
tor from the institution necessary to
its success, he was deposed after
various legal and diplomatic battles
extending over a long period of time.
Shortly after being shorn of his posi-
ton he joined forces with the popo-
cratic hosts, feeling that he had
nothing to lose in case of their defeat
and much to gain in case of success.
Now if Andy Lee should be the next
governor, the reinstatement of the
doctor is thought to be one of those
acts essential to the peace and hap
piness of this commonwealth that
will be early and steadily urged
upon that executive for his favorable
consideration. And the chances are
that Andy will do just about as he
pleases, when it comes to a show
down.

On account of having been i'm
properly placed on the ballots, it is
claimed that the amendments voted
for at the recent election have not
been legally adopted. If this is the
case prohibition still stands. 1t is
exceedingly strange that such legal
points are never found out until after
election and in this case it smacks
very much of skullduggery.

OFFERED A SQUARE GAME.
How a Young Lawyer Collected Bills From
Chicago Gamblers.

How a Young Lawyer Collected Bills From
Chicago Gamblers.
A young attorney just starting out in
his profession in Chicago was commits
stoned to collect a number Of bills by a
prominent tailor Of the town. All these
Accounts were against gamblers. Some
of them had been sued on and judg-
ment had been obtained. These judg-
ments, however, had not been collected.
A liberal percentage was offered the
lawyer If he could succeed In collecting
any Of them. The attorney had his own
potion as to how 20 60 to work on these
accounts and listened to the tailor's adj
vice about "goiag for them hot with a
dubious smile.
He selected a bill Of $75 for one suit
of clothes against a quite noted knight
of the green cloth and proceeded to try
his plan. Calling on this man, he told
him that he had not come to threaten
him with a lawsuit or TO bluff him; that
II the bill was correct he would call at
any time the debtor would designate
for a part or the whole of the bill ;.that
II the debtor would say be would not
pay the bill the lawyer would not call
again; that all he asked was a square
deal that be would call only when the
debtor made ar appointment to pay
money, as he did not propose to inaugu-
rate a system of Cumming"
The gambler heard him through with
perfectly impassive face and then said:
That fair. The other collectors didn't
know their business. They tried to bluff
me, and they 'dunned' me. Your game
is a square one, and I'll give it a whirl.
Here is my card. Call Tuesday, and I
will pay you half. Have you got any
more bills against the boys?'
On being told Of the other accounts
he sat down, took a dozen Of his cards,
wrote across them 20. K.," and said to
the attorney, Hand one Of these TO each
man you go to, tell him your game and
Jou will get your money"
The lawyer did SO. In not one single
instance was a bill repudiated, ard in
every case all appointments and agree
ment to pay were kept with scrupulous
fidelity. Every account was finally paid
TO the last penny, and the tailor won
dered at the collection Of these. TO him,
desperate accounts. - San Francisco

A Rare Opportunity,
Yankton Gazette.


There will be an exceptional
opportunity to test the honesty and
fairness of the populist Legislature in
the coming session in the matter of
the contests which have
been brought to unseat republican
members. Most of these contests
are either frivolous or purely techni-
cal. The populists have everything
their W way in the Legislature and
have nothing to gain Oh lose by the
accession of more populist members.
They cannot even have the specious
plea of "party necessity" in justifica-
ton of the negotiable settlement of
a contest. Under such con5itices
they certain ly should be able to-
every contest squarely in th ace
and settle it upon its merits.

Sisseton Inter Empire.

The blight of populism which has
struck South Dakota is bad enough
at best. but If the Legislature, when
it onvenes will only refrain from
passing any Waite and Pennoyer
Legislation; from attempting to enact
into law any of the phantasisms or
nightmare isms of the populist faith,
and also refrain from erecting any
scare-crows to frighten away capital,
and not adopt any measure that
would be calculated to discourage
enterprise, and injure important
lines of business already established,
then perhaps the state, backed up by
a sound republican national admins
tration, might manage to pull
through the next two years without
being made a byword with BLEEDING

then get a thin slice of She west end
OF the countries prosperity after all.
