MEET FOR CONFERENCE.
Grand Chiefs of Five Railway Brother

6fano Chle1s OF rive hallway Brother.
hoods in Session in Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 21.-At meeting of
the railroad brotherhood chiefs, held
at the Sherman house Friday, it was
decided that the five principal organiza-
tions would adopt concerted action in
an effort to secure the passage in the
next congress of all legislation which
would have beneficial result from
their standpoint. Someone will be Sc
lected who will represent all of the
organizations to go to Washington and
work particularly for the passage in
the house of the arbitration bill and the
contempt bill, which have already
passed the senate and are scheduled
to come before the house at it's next
session. The adoption of these two
bills, they believe, will protect the rail-
road employees in the object Of their
organizations. Any other legislation
which will have favorable results and
which is to be considered in the coming
congress will be supported by the
brotherhoods in every possible way. The
organizations represented at the meet
ing were: The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, Brotherhood of To-
connective Firemen. Order of Railroad
Conductors, Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and Order of Railroad Teleg-
ranhers

charge of work and Q promises of
better times and soc wages was
promised in case Mckinney was

this week says "a summary of re-
ports received from some 200 railway
companies and manufacturers in all
parts of the country regarding the eff
feet on business up to date, of Nc
Kinley's election. TIL conclusions
drawn from these reports are as fol-
lows:
/. Has the railway business picked
up at all? We are compelled to an
swer: No; it has not. III part of the
West and Southwest it has even been
distinctly worse since election than
il was before. There has not even
been an increase in Che little local
passenger travel
How differently that sounds from
the lavish promises made before
election; they were prophecy, this is
fullfllment with a vengeance.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Bradstreet
says: Jobbers and other wholesale
dealers in general merchandise do
not report the anticipated increase
In the volume of goods distributed
this week.
There were increased sales of holi
day goods and the tone of the market
for staples is one of encouragement.
Relatively the heaviest demand has
been for dry goods, shoes and grocer
| les, but even in these lines particu-
larry drygoods, the vo lume is smaller
than expected and disappoi ntment is
a result. There has been decrease in
the jobbing trade. In fact it is slight.
ly larger than a week ago in most
lines tending to increase.
The many industrial enterprises
which have started up continue a
feature Of each days news bulletin
but there is reason to believe the sig
nifcance of these exhibits has been
over emphasized in some Instances.
There are 309 business failures in
the United States this week, SO more
than last week but 10 fewer than in
the corresponding week one year age
10 more than in the like week in 1894,
and SO less than in the third week oil

We might continue this list of fail
uref to from $50 to 800 each week tx
demonstrate the result OF doing bust

incidentally allude to the period

400 to 500 business failures during thu

Flax Facts.

Clark Pilot-Review.
1t is estimated that ninety per cent
of the fax grown in the Z. 5. is
raised in the state of Minnesota and
in ten counties of South Dakota.
The difference in the Wilson and
Mckinley tariffs on flax is ten cents
a bushel, and under the Wilson bill
a rebate of seven cents a bushel is
given crushers using imported fax,
when the oil cake is exported. This
is an inducement toward favoring
the use of the foreign product where
the oil cake is intended for exporta-
ton, and thus ~depresses the home
product, and favors the product of
Russia and Argentine, which ship
fax to this country. The loss in the
tariff reduction on fax in three coun-
ties,-Clark, Codington and Brook
ings,-in round numbers is estimated
at 100000 for last year.

DeSmet News and Leada,

The saddest thing about the op.|
paign work laid out for Judge Psu.|
er is that his railroad plank val
adopted by the Republican stat
convention, when the plan was ta|
it should be rejected. The Juie|
was to present the resolution to ID
Aberdeen convention, where teT|
confidently expected it would be VI
jected, then get it put through bJ
the populists at Huron, and 60 into
the field on the railroad question
With the Republican party opposed
to railroad restrictions and the pop
ulists in favor of it, he would have i
leverage which would be expected
to capture many hundred votes. BIT
the adoption of the resolution BY ts
Republicans has spiked his guns and
he has no opportunity to fire at The
enemy. He can say all he plsasi
about the railroads, to be sure, bot
what he says will have no effect .

The Webster gun clubs effort to
enforce the game laws does not seem
to meet with the approval of the
conscientious editor of the Bristolite,
who was SO anxious to impress on his
populist friends that whatever he did
or said he was honest in so doing or
saying. Would this same editor get
up and howl if an effort was made to
enforce the prohibition law ? Nit.
Yet both laws are on the statute
books Of our state, and if one is en-
forced so should the other be. The
conscientious editor is not consistent.
This is what he says
The Webster gun club gives notice to the
public that the law on chickens expires on
Aug. Is and Sept. lon Aug. Is for the gun club
and Sept. l for common people, we presume.
Said organization also warns the common herd
not to break the law or it will put a head on
them. To emphasize this threat it offers a re-
ward for one man to tell on another. Beware,
farmersl Don't presume to think You have a
right to shoot chickens on your own land, for
you havn't ; the Lord God Almighty gave them
to the Goldfish Avenue asistocracy. When the
thirst of the gun clubbeIs for chicken gore be-
comes satiated, they will allow you to shoot a
couple,-perhaps.

Silver Terms and Facts.

We hear a great deal these days
about free coinage of silver, restrict
ed coinage of silver, demonstration
of silver, and remonetization of sill
YER. These terms are used very
loosely, often with no understanding
of their true meaning.
Free coinage of silver simply
means that any owner of silver bull
lion may take all the bullion he has
to the mint and have it coined into
money at the expense of the govern
ment. He then has the right to put
it into circulation on such terms as
he can secure for it.
Restricted coinage means a system
under which the government pur-
chases the silver bullion and coins it
on it's W account, and puts it into
circulation itself.
characterization is the depriving a
thing of a legal tender quality which
it once possessed.
RECOMMENDATION is the restoring to
legal tender a thing that once was
legal tender and has been deprived
of the character.
Legal tender is the quality con-
ferred upon a thing, making it re-
ceivable in the payment of debt.
From the above, it will be seen
that free coinage of silver and re-
monetization of silver does not mean
the same thing. We might have
free coinage of silver and yet silver
might be demonetized ; on the other
hand we might have restricted coin
age of silver and silver might be de-
monetized. For example, we might
have free coinage of silver and a law
making it receivable in the payment
of debts only to the extent of IS.
This would demonetize silver as to
the payment of debts above the sum
of S.. On the other hand, we might
have and in fact do have at this time
a law providing for the restricted
coinage of silver and making it re-
ceivable in the payment of debts of
any sum.
Free silver orators and advocates
are constantly telling the people
that silver is demonetized T; this is
absolutely false ! BY the act of 49,
SO ali silver coins under the value of
81 were demonetized SO far as pay
ment of larger sums than IS were
concerned and were coined on gov
eminent account, thus abolishing
free coinage of silver as far as minor
coins were concerned, and this law
has never been abandoned. When
the act of 1873 was passed (the act
commonly called the crime Of 1879
it was intended as a codification of
the coinage laws as they then stood.
This bill was first introduced in con-
gress during the session of 1870 and
was not passed until the session OF
being before Congress for Eve
sessions. 1t was printed no less than

Senator Wolcott of Colorado has
a sense of honor which is entirely
lacking in Senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota. Both men were re-
elected in 1895 by the Republican
party to the senate. Wolcott says
that he believes in free silver coin
age, but he was elected by the
Republican party and would honor
ably support it. 1t does not require
