TEMPEST STIRRED.
All Over a Little Appointment
at st. Louis.
VARIOUS PLANS ARE uPsEr.

Been Accepted By sun Another. VINO
Nay Not Keep 1t.
While the morning paper 10 busy
ing itself discussing democratic poll
tics, it is overlooking very important
developments in the ranks Of its own
party. A few days ago il announced
the appointment of P. j. Cary a. one
of the assistant sergeanes-st-arms at
the national republican convention
at St. Louis-but has failed to note
what has happened since. The mill
tary distinction conferred up1n the
ambitions Cary was not long en-
joved. 1t came through John X.
Tanner, aud no sooner had the fact
of the distinction which had come
upon Cary been made public than
one Of the high moguls in the local
councils of the party went after Pat
rick's scalp on the ground that
he was mon persona grata."
The plan was successful, and the
lost glories were offered TO c. F.
Lynde. He promptly declined to
accept them, and then William Ba-
ker received the mark of distinction.
He accepted with oil the grace Of his
nature, and with q most grateful
heart
Now the influence which gained the
favor for Cary is working to have it
restored. on the ground that no onein
Rock Island would have been thought
of in connection with it, but for
Pat and his friends. and that 1t
would be better to have it 60 away
from here altogether than TO have it
less worthily bestowed.

Mr.. Reeds speech at Old Orchard dealt
very clearly and comprehensively with
the fundamental conditions which lie
back of the whole silver agitation. We
do not have hardtimes because9 of the
decentralization of silver, but we have
the Cry about the silver because we have
the hard times. Whenever we have these
periods of industrial and commercial
sickness, there arise q set of political ply
sicians who know just the remedy.
Seventeen years ago they knew that it
was fiat money. Now they are just as
certain that it is the free coinage of sill
yer. Mr.. Reed poinBed out very happily
that We recovered and came to O period
OF glorious prosperity without the fiat
money; and his inquiry for whereabouts
of Prof Leo Miller. and the other ply
sicians Of that period, gave the audience
in humorous way a very effective Idea
of the ephemeral nature Of that school of
healars. Mr.. Reed showed very conclu-
sively that hard times may be expected to
occur at intervals more or less regular
Such has been history. Men attempt
too much and venture too far and with
hard times they pay for their over-exer-
ton. The period of prostration is the gol-
deh time for the quaek doctors Of politics.

COST OF LIVING IN MEXICO.
Necessaries and Luxuries High Cost OF
Labor Low.

In the interior towns and villages of
Mexico the common necessities of life,
such as beef, vegetables, ETC., are cheap
coffee and tea, the latter being seldom
used or seen in the interior. are dear
LuZuries are not to be thought OF, as
they are only procurable from distant
points, and at great expense. imported
German beer and English ale in some
cities of the interior cost rs cents per
pint. Butter when it i 8 proourable, and
1t is sometimes made without salt is very
expensive. If one can accuston himself
to the rich, highly seasoned food, and
does not object to considerable same
ness in and limited bill of fare, meals
may be had at the hotels in the interior
for about SO cents each, board and lodg
ing at these hotels ranging from So to
50. 90 per day. Good meals may be pro-
cured at any first class restaurant for 81.
Ready-made clothing, except In an in
ferior quality, is not to be had, but i'm
ported English and French cloth is made
up into suits at about the same cost as
in the United States. The large dry
goods stores and millinery stores are as
well stocked as are those of the United
States, and for imported goods the prices
vary little from those prevailing in the
latter country.
Rents in the City of Mexico, however.
are very high. This is due not so much
to the rapaoity of the landlords, as to
the cost of house building and other
reasons. Landlords when renting their
houses have to pay into the municipal
officers tax of 70 per ceat. on the an
nual rental besides pavoments, drainage,
water and stamp taxes. The expenses in
taxes on house costing $40, 900 to build
and renting at SIS per month, are about
III per cent. of the receipts.

Seeding in South pnko,a.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April l3.--Not for
years has the ground been in so
good condition for seeding as now in
South Dakota. During March snow fell
over most of the state to a depth rang
Ing from eighteen inches at Aberdeen to-
six at Sioux Falls, and since that time
ain and NOW have combined to make
the entire precipitation for the two
months amount to about an average of
six inches except in a small portion of
the interior. On the eastern n south
crn borders of the state the soil is wet,
to a depth of fully two feet, and it Is
stated that in the northern two tiers of
counties the dampness goes still
further. This is most unusual in South
Dakota at this time of year. II makes
it certain that with an average rainfall
during the mex two months the crops
will mature under perfect conditions.
Reports from Aberdeen and the regions
above the middle line of the state show
thai the acreage will be 25 per cent
greater than ever before. while in the
southern and eastern counties it will be
practically the same. Seeding is pro-
crossing in all sections. though the
storms of the past week have retarded
it somewhat in the south. Farmers are
jubilant at the prospect.
