EDITOR COURIER: Please insert 10
your paper the enclosed taken from the
last issue of tue Elk Point Leader:
Surprising some Elk Point citizen
went before Judge here aud prayed
for an injunction restraining certain

chantsl from crossing the thorough.
fare leading u the court house, and
his petition were granted and the iu-
junction were in effect and the sheriff
and his deputies we're lined along The
square. and rs several merchants sd-
vxnced were called upon 10 halt. what
do you suppose they would do? They
would say, we are free American citi.
zens; we haze. according 10 the c,,nsti-
tuition Of our country. n right To pxss,
and on they would go aud be shot down
in their tracks. This 10 the way the
Penasy miners were dispatched.
The deputies we're not ~ blame. They
enforced the mandate Of the Judge.
They recognized his authority above
all that is right or wrong, because he
had the law behind him. This IL gov.
eminent by Injunction. How do you
like it!
The above is = fair sample Of what
the populist papers Of South Dakota
feed to their readers. The person who
will write and publish such agitation
has but very little respect and much
less love for his country. II is hard to
tell whether the Leader editors are
ignorant or wilfully wrong. Is it any
wosaer that strikers, ngitators. and
We might say anarchy. are encouraged
when the press is allowed to publish
such stuff?
Not single instance can BIZ cited

marching or formation of labor 50.
cieties. No Injunction for any such
purpose has ever been asked for or
granted. Injunctions have been grant
ed to prevent wOrkmen who wanted to
work from being maltreated and in-
Inundated by the strikers, to protect
the persons and property Of the en-
ployers that were in danger, and to
prevent the agita,ors and strikers
from committing crime. For these
reasons, and these only. have injunc-
tions been granted. Hear it: ''This
is government by injunction. How
do you like it?' Why, this is enough
to make lover of his country sick {.
Will the Le"''er corps tell US in their
next what kind OF Il government
they would like TO have: We will
venture the assertion that it would
not last through one riot, but then,
Mr.. Leader, this is free country, and
you may think as you please. but some
times it is best not to put it In writing.
As for me, love my country still.
MY country it's Of thee.

DAMAGE BY THE STORM
Not Much Injury to Shipping--Far-
mers the Chief Sufferers.

Boston, July 15.-1he storm of the past
three days has passed and fair weather
now prevails, not only over New Eng
land, but over the entire country. The
wind began TO moderate yesterday and
today conditions are normal for summer
weather
Reports Of the havoc caused by the
storm are still coming in. While not
much damage to shipping resulted from
the southwest gale, ths high wind and
terrific rainfall caused great losses,
chiefly TO farmers and towns In the in
terror and railroads where washouts have
been announced.
The valley of the Connecticut river,
from Long Island sound To the Canadian
line seems to have suffered most severely
and from many points comes news of
stock being drowned or destroyed by the
wind. Rivers have overflowed in some
sections while washouts have caused a
delay OF trains.
|. New Hampshire has suffered consider
ably In the northern section from wash
outs and trains are not yet running on
time Maine has had some trouble with
her rivers, which have overflowed their
banks and in the eastern part the hay
crop has suffered considerably by the
heavy rain and wind which laid Hat the
uncut grass The storm was one OF the
most severe ever known in this section a
this season of the year.

when there came a vivid flash Of light
ming, followd by deafening report. The
tree under which Pastime was standing
was split IN two aud the young man fell
to the ground. Mrs. Ferris, who was at
one OF the windows of the house, saw
FASTING fall, and sent a servant to notify
the police. Pastime was taken in pa

dead by physician, and the body was re-
moved to the morgue.

SEC. SHERMAN'S LETTER
An Important Conferences to Be Held
on the Seal Question.

London. July 15.-While among the
general public the tone of Secretary Sher-
IN ans letter to Ambassador Hay regard
ing the Bering sea seal regulations Is
greatly resented, the correspondent of the
Associated Press is in position to say
whatever criticism the British govern
ment may have TO make on the phraseology
of the communication. the letter has not
In any way affected unfnvorably the
negotiations which Col. Hay has been
conducting.
A conference will be held in Washing
ton at which the United States Great
Britain, Russia and Japan will be repre-
serted. Since the representation OF Score
tary Sherman's note to Lord Salisbury,
Ambassador Hay has had repeated con-
ferenccs with his lordship although Of q
most friendly character, the conciliatory
spirit is displayed In the matter by the
British foreign Offices as Is evident BY
the decision to hold conference, which,
although not yet formally announced may
be regarded as settled.
Ii may also be taken for granted that
Canada does not oppose this decision. Mr..
Davis the Canadian minister of marine,
in an interview with the CORE espondent
of the Associated Press today said: I've
regard the latest proposals of the United
States as entirely reasonable. Thcre is
the friendliest feeling with regard TO the
negotiations between the two governments
and I'm view Of this the two people should
not be resentful. / think that it Is rea-
sonable view to take of the matter. "

He Sued Because He Was
Attacked by Newspaper.
Appellate Court Gives a Very Per-
tinent Decision.
Candidates Can Be Canvassed But They
Must Not Be Calumniated.

In the libel case of Henry E. Tiepke
against the Pawtucket Times, Chief JUS
tice Matteson has handed down an opin-
ion in which the demurrer of the de-
fendant newspaper company is over
ruled.
The opinion says: "This is an action
of trespass on the case for libel The de-
fendant demurs to the declaration on the
grounds:
"l-Becausel the article complained OF
con tains no libelous matter;
''2-Because at the time of the publica-
ton of the article tho plaintiff was
public officer and a candidate for re-eIec-
tion to the Office held by him, and that
the words alleged to be libelous were
proper criticism and privileged.
"While the article does not in direct
terms make the accusation that the
plaintiff was guilty OF malfeasance In
office, In accepting money from horse
pool men, roulette keepers and liquor
dealers in return for his protection of
them against violation of law, il Is pos
sible TO construe IL as tntimating such
charge Whether the language was so
used is a question for the jury. II SO
used it was clearly libelous.
s'In so far as the innuendo In conpec-
ton with the statement that the plain
tiff had been closeted with Briggs, states
the purpose to have been to give Briggs
protection in return for his political
support and influence in the election, it
goes beyond the meaning OF the language
complained OF, or any suggestion to be
legitimately drawn from 1t and to that
ex tent is bad.

tion was false ana malicious, and the
demurrer admits il Co be so. IL libel

The New FL Dorado, However, Ap-

San Francisco, July l5.-A story rival
ing in intensity Of interest that told OF
the fabulous wealth of Monte Cristo was
related by the passengers of the little
steamer Excelsior which has just arrived
from st. Micbacls, Alaska Millions
upon millions of virgin gold, according
to the story, await the fortunate miner

little steamer of the truth of the story
told by tho travellers for in the cabin
were scores OF sacks filed TO very mouth
with dust" taken from the placers Of the
far frozen north. The amount brought
in is variously estimated at from $500,
600 TO $3.50, 600.

London Newspapers Criticlse Sec.
Sherman'S Seal Communication.

London. July l5.-Tbe evening news
papers gnasb:their teeth with rage over
the sharp reply of Secretary Sherman to
Lord Salisbury In the seal controversy.
The half pence journals issue sensational
placards bearing such lines as Twisting

shrieks at England.
The more serious papers treat the sltu-
alton editorially.

the usages OF diplomacy, but Of the max

plote approval of the nation.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Mr..
Shermans tone Is not what it might be
but the nastiest OF the affair Is the pub
lication of the dispatch at all. Tho Pail
Mall refers TO Secretary Shermans some
what ugly dispatch, and SAYS: Seals,
like silver, get into party politics It Is
nm ugly symptom that seals should be

American jingoes i'm the matter OF silver

suspicion by striking too heroic attitude
In the matter Of seals.
The st. James Gazette says: 1.-THE pub
