1t has always seemed to me that
it was infinitely better that the
farmer should have a market at home
IA market at his very door, than to
be compelled to seek a market in
distant countries and among distant
populations. As long al there is a
demand at home, it is a self-evident
proposition that it is better than to
seek abroad, and that the
home demand is safer, more reliable,
and more profitable than any foreign
market can possibly be. American
buyers are the best in the world

More RuIe-or-Ruin Policy.
Pierre Journal.

Pierre Journal.
The sheep-men of South Dakota
have no reason to feel particularly
friendly to the silver senators. When
the horse tariff bill reached the SEN
ate, those men stood in the way of
its passage. 1t provided for a very
reasonable tariff on wool. The silver
senators stood in the way, insisting
that it should not pass unless an
amendment was added providing for
the free coinage of silver. On
account of their opposition, the bill
failed to pass, and as a result our
wool-buyers are being offered the
magnificent price of from four to
eight cents per pound for their wool.
The object of the silver men in this
was two-fold. In the first place,
they, a mere handful, hoped to coerce
the majority into adopting free coin
age /; failing in this, they were de-
termined to prevent the passage of
any measure which would give suf-
icient to the government
and thus relieve the country to some
extent from the effects of the panic,
for fear it would demonstrate to the
people that all their evils are not due
to the financial question. Their
policy has been rule or ruin, and
this fact comes home with special
force to our sheep men, who are now
just commencing to market their
wool.

HAVE DONE THEIR DUTY
Only Township Carried By Democratic Pre-

7.
nounces Against Repadistioo.
Out of the results Of the election in
Rock Island county democrats may
gain some source Of satisfaction in
stamping the Inconsistency Of the
claims of reputation which have
been laid to the door Of the party in
the late campaign. For while in
the presidential contest this was
made purely one sided issue, in
Rock Island county the question of
public honor was submitted, and the
people asked to declare whether they
would sustain or repudiate the couu-
tvs obligations incurred with their
consent twouyears ago. While. as
has been raid before, the county's
honor was saved through Rock ISL
and's vote, there were as many demo.
Gratis voted for the proposition here
as republicans, in the county at large
the vote is the greatest against the
proposition where the republicans
are the strongest. while the only
township in the county that went
democratic, that Of proud Coal Val.
ley, pronounced emphatically against
repudiati3n,
1t may be a good thing for the re.
publicans to protect their honor at
home before going abroad in the land
and talking about national repudia-
ton.

Rock Island has been visited by an
unusual number OF repertoire COM
Psnies this season. This fact, Man
ager Bleuer says, was due to his ina
bility to secure standard attrac ,ions
until after election, the interest at

business to great extent, and pre-
vented the better class of organic A.

Three young men who had bseu

Harper's theatre last evening. They
occupied the upper box on the west
side OF the house, and evidently
firing Of witnessing so many per-
fOrmances of the same Kind at one
time, they turned their attention to
the audience. which they proceeded
to entertain in their own peculiar
way.
pathetic scenes in the play there
would be bursts of laughter and
giggling. which proved very annoy
ing to the people on the stage and
the auditors as we'll. Finally Officer
Schaab was called, and after taking
in the movements of the young fell
lows in the box, asked one of them,
who seemed responsible for the side
show, to leave the house. The
officer walked into the box, the whole
audience being witnesses to the
young mans humiliating position.
The fellow who was removed had
been throwing kisses to the women
folk in the house.
He was taken back onto the stage
by the officer. whom he implored not
to eject him. promising to act gen.
tleman if released. And he was let
go. Such performances as these are

This House is Divided"


Many inquiries we're made as to
whose residence it was that presented
such a unique sentiment in connec-
ton with the celebration, and
whether or not there was any serious
discord within resulting from the cleo
ton. As far as the latter sugges-
ton is concerned, TEE argos is hap
PLY prepared to offer the grateful
assurance that politics does not dis
turb the domestic tranquility of the
home, Notwithstanding that the diff
ference in conviction as to the none
tary relations Of gold and silver is as
sharply drawn as anywhere. And in
this same connection it may be said
that the wife of the house has fully
discharged an election wager made
with her husband prior to the election.
by submitting the following original
poem for publication az he agreed
to in the event Of McKinley's cleo
ton:
Clippings Of the Gold Bugs.
Hin, Hip Hurrah, the reps have got thar:
Now our gold dollars will be above par;
loot your little O. horn made of Mckinley tin.
He couldn't blow his own horn. so blow it now
for him
Gather all the cowbells and make a dreadful
noise:
Lay aside your dignity and be Just little boys.
Shout. shout again. Mciinieys on the train,
Now our infant Industries will get their milk
again.
BY working your infant humbug Wen keep up
the silver din.
And Bryan will come again and in 1900 win.
