The announcement is made by
Minneapolis papers of the retirement
from the Huronite Of J.W. Shannon.
If this means his retirement from
South Dakota newspaperdom, the
loss to the press of the state will be
a severe one. Original, aggressive,
and fearless, he has occupied for
years a pedestal of his own among

effect that DR.. McLouth, late presi.
dent of the state agricultural college,
has openly deserted the Republican
party, giving his reason for SO doing
that ''the party is corrupt and has
taken the stump for the populist

a candidate for governor on the pop
ulist ticket, and some say he has
been assured of the nomination at

CURRENT TOPICS.
Another Fiat Failure.
Aberdeen News,

Abtfhecu NeNSA
A recent experiment with cheap
money is recorded in the journal of
Slatin Bey, ex-governor general of
the province of Darfur, Soudan, and
afterwards for ten years the personal
servant Of the Khalifa, the successor
of the Mahdi. An extract from the
journal is as follows
The khalifa (being in want of money! now
began TO coin dollars containing six parts of
silver and two of copper, but they were TO have
the same value as the medjidi dollar, having
eight parts of silver. The merchants, however,
refused TO accept these, and the Khalifa con.
fiscated their goods and closed their shops,
This brought them to reason, and on agreeing
to accept them at their whole value (as if of
eight parts of silyerl their property was re-
stored, But they were warned that if they
made any further difficulties, they would be
punished by the loss of the right hand and left
foot. The natural outcome of these arbitrary
measures was an immediate increase of prices
TO compensate for the difference in value be-
tween the new and old dollars. OF course all
the Khalifa knew was that the dollar had been
accepted, and with that he was satisfied.
The experience of this monarch
with cheap money is the same as that
which has characterized similar at
tempts in all ages and in all coun-
tries. The deprecated dollar passed
for what it was worth in comparison
with the best dollar, and when the
Khalifa prescribed a penalty for re-
fusing to accept it at its face, the
merchants complied with the demand
but raised the price of their goods to
make themselves whole. The legis-
lature of one of our own colonies
made death the penalty for refusing
to accept its so-called money in re-
turn for goods, but the enactment
was disregarded. What the Khalifa
failed to do in Soudan-make the
purchasing power of a poor dollar
equal to that of a better one-is
what the advocates of unlimited free
silver coinage are attempting to &C
complish in the United States, by
force of Legislative enactment, with
out power to enforce the decree by
chopping off hands and feet. And
then the departure attempted by the
Khalifa was not as radical as the one
proposed by the ~silverites of the
United States, since he deprecated
the currency only 25 per cent, while
his prototypes here want to depreci,
ate it 40 to so per cent.

Notwithstanding the general de-
mand throughout the country for the
Republican convention to declare
for the gold standard and thus draw
sharply the line of campaign, it is
safe to say that nothing of the kind
will occur. While the platform will
unqualiiedly pronounce against the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver,
there will be no single standard
business. The Republican party is
the true friend of silver and will re.
solve to keep its purchasing power
on an equality with gold. The sill
yer agitators who are bowling for
free coinage care nothing for the
after fate of silver or of the people,
their one object is to gain office.
This can be seen from the fact that
one month ago no one could be
found who would accept the demo-
cratic nomination for president, but
under the impetus given the silver
craze by the different democratic
conventions and a prospect of fusion,
candidates are springing up all over
the country, hoping that the craze
will land them in the White House.
The attempts to prove the Republi-
can party an enemy to silver will be
given a black eye by the Republican
national convention

Silver 10 has gone to Minnesota,
with the remark that he wasn't get
ting enough out of it in this state.
1t is a remarkable fact that so many
people are ready to adopt the ideas
of political ~harlequins like this man,
who 60 through the country SOW
ing mis-statements and teaching
false doctrines. Without a name,
reputation, or character to protect,
he can say what he pleases and to-
morrow be miles away beyond the
reach of ~refutation. In this, he diff
fers from the man of local habitation
or reputation, for on him rests the
burden of responsibility for what he
utters. No man, no matter what his
political ambition or wishes may be,
desires to put himself on record with
false statements, but with the pro-
fessional political agitator and per-
MANIPULATING prophet it is different,
In no way is he held responsible for
his utterances and consequently is in
demand by those who are willing to
profit by the effects of his teachings,
although unwilling to descend to
those methods themselves. Sensible
people refuse to buy goods of ped,
Jars knowing their unrelability, why
then should the same people deal in
sayings of political pedlars ?

South Dakota has been ~singularly
free from the terrible storms which
have been devastating other states.
This should be taken into considera-
ton by those croakers who always
have a poor word for our state and

cyclones and losses of life and prop

line was reached in Missouri May "a.

When VIM. Mckinley was making

was interrupted by the question,
s'what about ~silver?" and responded:
I'll tell you, my friend, what / think

the Republican party thinks, that every
dollar, be it gold, silver, orpaper, should
be the equal OF the other. The farmer

else want an honest dollar. When the
farmer sells a bushel OF wheat, he must
use a full bu shell, and when he gets his
pay, he demands a full dollar, worth 100
cents.

The Prevalence of Murder.

ASt. Louis Sunday paper says that
! murder is becoming the popular Amer
lean crime; that there is no European
nation that has one-fourth as many
murderers to each millionof population
as has the United States. England
with a population half as great aver
ages only three hundred per annum to
our ten thousand.
These 6gures are overwhelming, but
we have not far to go to seek an. ex-
planation. In England, there are no
flowers, refreshments. messages of con
dolence. offers of marriage, biographi-
cal sketches, ETC., to make the time
pass pleasantly to the condemned.
There are no lax laws full of loop roles,
apparently designed to place obstacles
in the way of the execution of the laws
sentence. A murderer is not an object
of com mlseration to be anointed with
maudlin tears. On the contrary. he is
red handed criminal who has volun-
tarily placed himself without the pale
of huma an sentiment. The punishment
of murder is death, and the only proper
thing to do is to dispatch the murderer
with as little delay as possible,
This is the view our English breth
rem take Of the matter, and who shall |
say they are not right when we see the
results? A punishment to be effect
ual, must follow swift upon the heels
Of the act. Nor should it be the oc-
casion of any celebration, but meted
out rapidly, silently, justly, that the
lesson which it carries may have full
force. Medical Brief.
