enthusiasm for a candidate for Office
since the world began. Neither George

Henry Clay, nor Abraham Lincoln, nor

The Rapid City Journal, in q recent
issue, gets after the citizens of that
place with sharp stick, urging them to
wake up and not die in the shell"
The caustic lecture is invoked by the
failure on their part to manifest dis
position to celebrate the Fourth of July
in that place. Now it may be possible
that the citizens of Rapid are in con-
dition of somnelence, in which event it
would be pertinent and proper for the
Journal to make an effort to restore
them to their former life and activity,
but there are other enterprises to which
their attention might be called, the
realization of which would be far more
beneficial to Rapid and the Hills than
the most successful celebration they
might hope to realize. Why not join
with the other towns of the Hills in the
general celebration OF the Soldiers and
Sailors Of the Black Hills at Lead? We
have been led to understand that, by
general consent, the towns Of the Hills
would unite with Lead in celebrating
the day. Have we been misled?

The recent death of the great Hebrew millionaire and philanthropist, Baron Hirech, suggests a fruitful topic for this mornings thought. Not often does any one say a good word for the members of
 the House of Israel. They are an ostra- c'z3d race. Children Of Abraham, they are reckoned az the line of Ishmael against whom every mans hand is set in contention and for whom every man's.lip wears a sheer. Brotherhood reaches evcryv here except to them. The coun-
 try is shaken to it's core oyer the savage fortunes of war in Eastern Turkey where
 the defeated Armenians fall, b0otless prey, before their heather lords, but Christian civilizations move on to their feasts and their triumphs without a shudder or tear as century after cen
 tury goes by with the embittered curse unbroken and the chain of custom or
 tradition still chating the neck of the in- n0cent Hebrew. The Christian hymn is
 sung with unction and with glee, and
 songs of a lower mood freight the con
 vivial air with their awakening charm,
 but no cyC-such is the absorbing rap ture of the joy-sees at the shut window the olive hued face of him or her who has brothers or sisters right to the Thanksgiving dinner of humanity. The cable seems to be full. 1t is because the chair which belongs to the Hebrew has been pushed aside Who can account for this prolonged disdain which the GcutiIcs feel for this man of the wander
 ing mood; who travels everywhere, bu. finds no place congcuiai enough for his home; N no sets up a market in every mart, but is salesman rather than citizen; who trades with all, but marries only his own rac1; who is courteous even under injury, and makes no attempt because he thinks It useless to throw of the yoke which the nations have made out of primeval wood, whose fibre is as strong as steel and tenfold more dura- blc.
 It is claimed by those who have di- vined the secret that the age-lODg frown is due to the part these men had in the persecution and death of our Lord. But these are strange diyiners that they should trace the seuseless curse to Him who on his cross disowned the embitter- d persecution. Have these omniscient critics stuffed their ears so that they can. not hear the "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do?' Are they such Christless Christians that they want their sovereign, sinless Lord to as tune the blame of the contempruous sheer which lies across IS centuries of. human life; Of all pr@judice which taints and smears the record of this race of ours, I think the meanest, as it is the most grou0dIess, is this sly and covert, %hen not open and defiant, attack on the I.,,y

CANADIAN LIBERALS WIN.
Wilfrid Laurier Elected Premier - wiz
Have Majority OF Thirty.

Ottawa, Ont, June 24.-Race has pre-
dominated over creed in the province OF
Quebec, and, thanks 10 his compatriots,
Wilfrid Laurier, liberal, will be the first
French premier of Canada. Consider
ing that the whole might OF the Roman
Catholic church in Quebec had been
against Lauricr the victory which he has
achieved Tuesday is simply wonderful.
When parliament was dissolved the gov
eminent, under Sir Charles Upper, had
a majority of IS. This has not only been
wiped out, but, from present appear
ances, the coming liberal premier will
have majority of 80 in the house of
commons, quite ample for his purpose.
Up 10 midnight the returns show con-
servatiyes elected, 50; liberals, 10; pa
irons and McCarthyites, 10. The gov.
eminent gained IL seats and lost So,
showing "A net loss Of IS. AS the gov.
eminent in the last house had a ma
jority of as 10 is expected when all the
returns are In that the new government
will, as stated, have a majority of about
30. Premier Upper will Immediately
tender his resignation TO the governor
general, who will invite Laurier to form
a new government.
The latest returns from the province
OF Quebec show that that province will
stand: Liberals. 90; conservatives, 10.
The conservatives concede that they
have met their Waterloo.
In Toronto the fight was n straight
one as regards the separate schools is
sue, and the ants carried all four seats
by large majorities.
The peculiar feature about the cleo
ton is that Catholic Quebec. in which
province public opinion has been so
greatly aroused ON the Manitoba school
question, has given a tremendous ma
jority against remedial legislation"
as the measure 20 restore Catholic
schools in Manitoba is termed. Mani

II is remarkable that there Is not in

Franklin which gives complete nc

discoveries made by the versatile genius
who is rightly called "the brains OF the
American revolution" Great as was
Franklin as n diplomat and statesman,
he was greater as a scientist in the
domain of physics. wherein he planted
seeds which bore fruit in his own time,
and again in our generation.
His pet study, electricity, which in
the 18th century was n diversion of
schoolmen, has become a gigantic in

of the earth. To Franklin are we i'm
