A CLEAR CONSCIENCE.
Sany of the ills we are compelled
to bear through this life might be
avoided it we would listen to that in =.

science. Nothing is so important as
a clear conscience. Disaster has
0vertaken many because of disobedi

remain unshed, many frown would
be smile, many a broken heart
would rejoice, many a trouble would
be a pleasure, and many a prison

secure. and when they don't feel secure
they won't invest. The only way to
make money make more money Is to
use it-but if to use it is to loose it, it
will not be used. If we can convince
those who have money that it is safe to
let 60 OF it, they will be tickled to let

But how sorry they must be now that
they gave him such an opportunity TO

piled him with chances to smite the

reiterated everything he had said In
the letter-but showed that the pOp0-

are no more for real bimetalism than

Hon. K. c. Ericsson acted as chairman
OF the evening, and the program was
opened by all rising and singing
NJ. B. Kent. Then came a song by the
Hawarden Mckinley Glee club, fol-
lowed by songs from the Sioux City,
Alcester, Akron and Elk Point Glee
clubs. The songs enthused the aud
lence. Hon. Ben Butterworth, OF Ohio,
was then introduced who spoke for an
hour and half.
The question at issue are so tremend-
ously important that their determina-
tion must bless or curse every home in
the land. Practically all OF us-whether
republicans or democrats or populists
have the same purpose and desire
that these questions shall be settled
right, but we differ as to the methods.
Without bitterness against our oppon-
ents, desire to present and argue and
urge the methods suggested by the re-
publican party. do not propose tc

MY friend, I'll do that before I get

have more on the silver question than
you can hold. Tremendous applause. J
The bifurcation of the democratic
party was then dwelt on by the speaker
and the accusations cited which the
Indianapolis wing makes against the
Chicago wing. The relations OF the
Chicago wing were also elucid.ted.

and there are planks there which no
loyal Dakotan ought to indorse. A
glowing tribute was paid by the speaker
to South Dakota and what he has seen
In travelling over it-such evidence of
prosperity, despite the hard times, as
would gladden. the hearts of the desti-
tute millions who are suffering in the
east on account of the factories having
been closed and the mills rendered idle
by the policies which this Chicago
platform proposes to perpetuate. From
your heart of hearts you ought all bless
the name Of the good Lord that he has
blessed Dakota by saving her from the
scant larders and the shabby clothing
which Is all that is left to SO MANY
American families now under the poll
cies OF that platform and it's predeces-
sors. While you can't sell proftably
what you produce, it is because these
families, stricken with idleness cannot
buy because they cannot work. Under
the republican policies which are to be
inaugurated by the result in november,
all this will be changed, and that which
brings renewed prosperity to the east
will open the markets for the products
ST the west. Applause
Our democratic and pOpulist breth-
ern tell us that what we need more
money. But merely more money would
not bring confidence-and business is a
game of confidence, but not by auy
means confidence game. The best
times we ever had was when our per
capita circulation was only two-thirds
Of what it is now. We could have bet
ter times now If those who have money
would only circulate it. Itdosen't make
any difference what may be the judg-
ment of those who want the money. we
must dicker on the busis Of what those
think who have it. They wouldn't let
go Of it on our Judgment, but on theirs.
It Is they who have the call-not We.
Thry must be convinced as to the safety
Of investments before the wheels OF In

Never in the history OF Elk Poih'
has there taken place within Its ancien
precincts such a republican rally
occurred on last Friday evening. IL
was an outpouring of the people ana II
was estimated that 1000 people were
present. The occasion was known as
Mckinley day of the county falr anu
the address OF Hon. Benj. Butterwor'n'
Of Ohio was the feature. A large tent
had bcen provided, with 9 seating
capacity Of 1000. It was located on
the court house grounds. When eve
ming came the procession was Formed

Farmers for miles around, with the
several hundred from Sioux City, and
the Vermillion, Alcester Hawarden
and Akron Mckinley clubs it was fair
estimate to state that fully 1920 voters
were within the line of march. Marshal
Gilmore had charge OF the parade. 1t
started from the court house square
passing up to Washington street and
then over to Main avenue att. H. Bry-
ans blacksmith shop AS the procession
came down Main avenue it was the
signal for the discharge of fire works
by the marchers. No prettier sight
was ever witnessed. AT the principal
corners red lights we're burned and
with the roman candles shooting into
the air it was a sight long to be re-
membered.

WITH A MIDAS TOUCH.
Two PhiIadeIphians Turn Street Rail-
way Companies Into Gold.
THEY HAVE UNITED The PRINCIPAL

Street Railways of Four GreatCittes-
Large capitalization and Earnings
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-There have
been many Napoleons of finance, but
only two street railway Napoleons, and
these two have been twin rulers. They
are W. L. Elkins, Jr., and P. A. b.
Widener of this city. After winning
series of remarkable battles in Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg and Chicago they have
announced recently that they will retire
from the active field in those three cities
and retain controlling interest in their
New York street railway property alone.
Their object in doing this is to obtain
relief from the strain of an active per-
sonal participation in chain of great
business enterprises. They will continue
to own stock in the street railways in
which they have been interested, but
they will leave the management of the
properties to others.
At the beginning of 1895 Messrs.
Elkins and Widener controlled more than
500 miles of street railways. They did
not own a majority of the stock in all
the companies, but they and their friends
in combination did, and the Elkins and
Widener policy governed street railway
corporations capitalized at $500, 0OO,-
600.
The First Acquisition.
When the Elkins- Widener combina-
ton began to acquire street railway
property in Philadelphia, there were
only 100 miles of roads in the city. The
introduction of the cable and the troll
ley made it easy and wise to extend the
