Gives His Impressions.


DR.. w. II. Jordan, formerly presid-
ing elder of the Sioux Falls Methodist
conference, and well known in this city,
was in New York on the night OF the
Bradley Martin ball. He writes the
Argus Leader his Impressions of what
he saw as follows:
New York, Feb. II, 1897.
To the Editor of the Argus-Leader:
The notorious Bradley-Martin ball Is
over so far as Mrs. Martin is concerned
but not so with the people. The whole
affair was an outrage on decency and
public rights. While it is conceded
that in general one has right to do as
he pleases with his money, yet when
three hundred thousand dollars is
blowed into vulgar display of wealth
the occasion calls for loudest denuIcia-
citation. Leaving out the economic eff
feet, which has been sufficiently dis
cussed the BradleyMartin affair is
most pernicious and dangerous: it is
like dynamite placed in the hands of
! anarchist agitators. Who can blame
the poor and the great army of un-
Employed when such things are flaunt-
ed IN their faceS:.
Then, too, this atfeir was An outrage;
wealth trampled on the rights Of the
city: for hours its public avenues were
| closed and an imperial guard of three
hundred and eighty policemen threw
their protection around the doors OF the
Waldorf. Your correspondent was an
eye witness of what he speaks: and his
disgust was only equaled by his indig-
| nation that such things could occur in
democratic America. Police were sta
toned every ten or fifteen feet along
| Thirty-third street and Fifth avenue,
| with extra squads of police at inter-
walls: in facts the streets were actually
barracaded with police. and peacable
citizeus wese not allowed to pass. Or
dinarily life must hold it's breath, while
! Mrs. Bradley Martin and her upper
ten" breath perfume on the air. Your
| correspondent passed along to his hotel,
one block away and on the street, with
all others, was turned back and COM
PEELED to make detOur.
| AS the New York World says 'never
was the power of the police exercised
more automatically and inQuisitarially
| in this country than on Wednesday
| night around the Waldorf hotel, to pro-
tect from the sights of peaceable Amer
lean citizens few wealthy persons as

costumes
Such things give emphasis to the
need OF wise craftsmanship and calm
| guidance for the nation. Yours.

not in favor of confusion. We gave
Bryan our vote and work, but we did
| not give any vote for Sewall and we
protest against having that dirt thrown
in our eyes.
This beating of tom-toms will not
long blind or long confuse the populists
of South Dakota, who have always
stood in the front rank and taken all

heaped upon them. Free silver is all
right but free men are better. 1t we
have any party principles let us stick
to them. After we are dead there may
be time to discuss ''parity" ann ratio.

A nicatio1i.

EDITOR COURIER: You may not be
in favor of all kinds of new ideas or re-
forms, so shall not attempt to talk
you into believing in the referendum
which is thought by many to be an i'm
practical institution, but we have now
in operation system which amounts
to the same thing. No laws are consid-
cred valid unless they have passed a
supreme court decision. It is folly to
criticise anything so high up but it may
be interesting to have something said
about how the supreme court referen-
dunn looks from below. The constitution
ality of the laws are kept a secret until
litigation compells the high author
ity to tell the people what it is. then it
is announced that they have handed
down a decision. ! suppose that means
down TO the people and is a fitting ex-
preston to the party that misunder-
stood the lsw and lost his case and
money. The courts are getting to be
more important than the law making
powers. Very often they are asked as
they were recently to give ruling in
cases where there is no law in the stat
ute. They are expected to do this, but
/ think they should give all their de-
cisions in advance, which would pre-
vent great deal OF costly legislation.
You can inquire what the law is, and,
in many cases the answer will be that
the courts have not passed upon it yet.
For an example, you may sk.whois the
owner OF the dried out lake beds in the
| west9 The answer is, there is no law,
/, it all depends on how the courts will
decide cases affecting that question.
No one knows how far the legislature
can go in fixing the freight rates on the
railroads, so they wisely.avoided it by
leaving it to referendum, to the So
called railroad commissioners, and
they in turn will run it through the mill,
not all at once. but little at time, the
same as we farmers do our grinding,
and the taxpayers share will be to pay
the toll. A common citizen can not be
lexpected to know all the law but he
should be entitled to find it reliable in
the written statute. For this reasor
the high judges of the law should be
required to be present at the sessions O
the legislature and act as advisors anl
they should then and there pass thei1
lopinion on the constitutionality OF any
proposed measure. A FARMER.
