The late Charles Biddle wrote

ography that he heard the Decla1-
alton of, independence read in the
Court House yard in9Philadelphia
July 4, 177o.
"There were very few respeca
BILE people present. he wrote.
Elsewhere he declared that nearly
all the wealthy citizens of Philadel-
phia and New York were opposed
to the Declaration, believing that
the colonies could not get along
without the support and protection
of Great Britain, and that, more
over, their personal interest were
with the mother country. The
Democratic leaders see so strong
a parallel between the Tories of
1875 and the Tories of 1896 that
they are advising the public to read
up on American history.

Garland Appointed.

Pioneer: A private telegram was
received by a Deadwood attorney
last Friday evening saying that the
president had appointed John E.
Garland of Sioux Falls Judge of
the South Dakota district to fiji the
vacancy caused by the death of
Judge Edgeton.
The appointment was no surprise
as it was almost a certainty that
Garland would be appointed after it
was learned that Judge Tripp had
declined the honor. Outside of the
Black Hills there is no democratic
lawyer SO well qualified. Judge Car
land was appointed to the supreme
bench OF the territory by Mr.. Cleve-
land during his first term and gave
general satisfaction. He came to
the territory with that appointment
IN his pocket, if we mistake not.

A Hard Duty.

Deadwood Independent: Judge
Carleud will have a hard duty to
perform this morning. He may pre-
side for years aud not be called IN
on to perform a more difficult task
than to pass sentence upon poor old
Harry Williams of Crook CIV for
making false returns to the post
office department. The amount in
significant but the offence is as Sc
rious as though it was greater. A
number of the prominent business
men discussed the propriety of petit
tloning Judge Garland to suspend
sentence or make it as light as
possible, but they decided not to
add to the hardship of the court in
passing sentence on the harmless
old veteran.

The Church in the CAMPAIGN

L. LIZ C141pSAk1 IL.
If the church would fulfill it's mis-
sion on earth it will expose treach-
cry and corruption in high places
and seek to lead the common mil
lions out into the bright light of
contentment and truth. Not often
does the church enter politics, and
it should not, but if the words of
a leading Chicago divine are to be
believed the church with all it's force
has enlisted on the side OF gold and
using its influence to further a poll
cy which means only want and suf-
fering to the common people of this
country. Rev. J. @. A. Henry of
the LaSalle Avenue Baptist church,
Chicago, says:
81 believe that the surest way to
bury Bryan so deep that he will
never be heard Of again is for the
l4O, 600 ministers of this country to
preach from the pulpits their con-
victions on this silver issue. l have
been in California, Colorado and all
through the east where I have con-
ferred with many minister on the
subject, and | have yet to find the
first one not in favor of Sound mon
ey.' The christian press is a unit
on the subject. Every s~ectarian or
gan is arrayed on the side of Sound
money which mean national in
tegrlty."
Thus the religious press and the
clergy enters the political arena in
defense of a policy which has robbed
the common people of this country
and if successful will perpetuate the
reign Of a tyrannical gold aristoc-
racy which will gradually sap away
the very life blood of the republic.
This Chicago divine announces as
subjects for a series of sermons he
is to deliver against silver the fol-
lowing: "Demagogues and National
Dishonor,' present Political Blind
Guides and ''The Heresv of Free
Silver" Ten to one this same indi-
vidual who poses as a follower of the
meek and lowly Nazarene draws q
fat salary, occupies a mansion and is
an absolute stranger to the want,
hardship and suffering among those

who should b members 81 his dock.
And as time goes on the clergy
stands in the pulpit each sabbath
day, tells OF the good qualities Of
Paul and the patience Of Job and
wonders why the masses do not
rush into the shelter Of the church
and become followers of the man Of
Galilee. The reason seems plain
and such action as has marked the
career of this Chicago clergyman
who says the ministry and religious
press are a unit in his support is
enough to cause a general jubilee in
the camps of Mark Hanna and his
satanic majesty. It is such hypoc-
racy as this which destroys the in
tuence of the church, and if that or
ganization has enlisted in defense
of that policy which has already en-
shaved the millions, then its inau-
ence will be confined to the classes
to which it bows in submission.
Thus the church would be turned in
to a temple for the false aristocracy
and nc room left for the toiling mil
lions upon whose shoulders rest the
life of the republic. Away with
such hypocricy under the guise of
The church is for the peo-
pie regardless of station, class or
and if it must fall before
King Hanna's pot of political Doodle
and assist in placing the foot of the
money power on the necks of the
people, then it's influence
will end and it's efforts be of little
avail.

EUREKA.

After having lodged, twisted
and squirmed around in it's efforts
to produce q few arguments
against the cause of frse silver, the
poor old journal has come out
from its hole just long enough to
shrek eureka" The cuckoo
thought it had found an argument
against silver and that in the COL
ums of a paper advocating the
cause of the people. The article
in question appeared on the pat

matter in our columns is attribu-

Manager Green.

Manager Green.
A short time ago a leahet issued
by Manager Green of the Connecti-
cut Mutual Life Insurance company
was published in the Journal. The
following extracts are made from
the August number of the Insurance
and Commercial Magazine of New
York City:
"The Phoenix Mutual and the
Connecticut Mutual of Hartford are
in the middle of the road seeking
for some one to ave them or restore
them to a normal condition of
health, as their enormous expenses
and down hill slide show"
1.-THE great, grand building of the
Charter Oak Life Insurance Co.
that cost it's policy holders 5000, 900
PANIED out on sale at it's market value
on account of the failure of the COM
pany, at less than $3.50, 900. Yet
Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
now that it's stock holders by dis
honest use of proxies, have received
pay for all their stock propose to
sink over a million dollars of money
Of their policy holders in the erec-
ton of a grand building in Hart
ford"
The grand Office building of the
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Co. of Hartford probably cost over
a million dollars-its actual market
value is today not over $500, 900;
and we suggest to Commissioner
Belts that he report at actual value
these grand Offices"
There is nc mor striking exam
pie of fraud in life insurance than
that represented by the person of the
manager of the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Co. The Connecti-
cut Mutual processes to be economi-
cal, yet is the most prodigal in ex-
penses for benefits secured, of any
company in the United States. It
processes to be prosperous while it
is the most unpopular of any COM
Pany with one exception-tihe Phe-
nix of Hartford"
"The Connecticut Mutual pro-
feses to be a mutual company yet it
is a trust of the most undesirable
character. It's management is the
result of a combine by the president
and and his subsidized agents."
Now the foregoing extracts are
taken directly from a magazine de-
voted principly to insurance bust
ness. The policy holder is the one
interested. Now the question for
him to ponder on, is not the quality
of the dollars his bene6ciaries will
receive, but the number they will
bet in return for his hundred cent
dollars he has been paying into the
hands of such men as the manager
Of the Connecticut Mutual.
Mr.. Greene issuing his pamphlets
from his magnificent Office building
in Hartford, is . great deal like old
satan himself, posing in gilded state
as a reprover Of pretended sin.
