The populist press object very siren
can newspapers about the price of
wheat and the price of silver, says the
Huron Huronite. Dollar wheat and 40
cent silver does not carry out the silver
mems claims about the affinity between
the white metal and this great cereal.
The difference in price Of the two COM
modities is explained by our populist
brethren by the large foreign demand
and short crop of wheat, This is all
there is in the argument-all that the
gold standard press ever claimed.
Now that the populist press have got
to the point where they admit that the
price of these two articles of commerce
is regulated by the laws of trade and
that the close relationship between
wheat and silver only exists on charts,
maps and tables, made to order, the
discussion may we'll end here. A
scarcity in the worlds supply of silver
aud an increased demand for il would
raise the price of that metal. Over
production of wheat and lessened de-
mand for it would soon bring down its
price, regardless of the price of silver
1t is just as possible to have silver at a
dollar an ounce and wheat at 40 cents a
bushe as it is to have silver at 40 cents
an ounce and wheat at a dollar bushel.
The truth OF this statement is SO fully
established that the producing classes
will not again be influenced by the false
argument about the price of their crop
depending upon the price of silver.

The news from Washington TO the
effect that Senator Kyle has knocked
out the neat little scheme of Omaha to
secure cattle trail over the Sioux
reservation and thus to divert the cat
tie business from Pierre and Cham ber-
lain to Nebraska towns and to give to
Nebraska roads the business to which
the South Dakota roads are legitimate
lv entitled will be received with pleas
ure in this state, says the Argus-Lead-
er. Just at this particular time Sioux
Falls has no direct interest in the con-
troversy beyond the interest her peo-
pie always have for the success of every
South Dakota interest," but if the time
ever comes that the packing house is
put in operation, her interest in it will
be vital and lively one. To divert
this business to Omaha would longer
delay the construction of railroad
across the reservation to the Hills
country, and would in effect put this
part OF the state in a pocket so far as
the cattle business of the great stock
portion of the state is concerned. The
cattle men and the Indians were op-
posed to the plan as were also the busi-
ness men of Chamberlain and Pierre.
Senator Kyle got back to Washington
just in time to block the scheme and
his services in this matter will be fully
appreciated by all who benefited

Since Senator Kyle has returned
from his trip to Europe the Washing
ton correspondent is mixing him up
with the appointments yet to be made
in South Dakota and expects him to
take hand in the disposition OF the
marshalship. The dispatch says:
The arrival here of Senator KYLE
from his trip through England and
Scotland has renewed interest in the
contest that is being waged between
the republican factions in South
Dakota over the United States marshal
ship. The term of the democratic in
cumbent, Marshal Peemiller, has ex-
pired, but the absence of the president
prevented the papers being taken up,
and the department has issued tenn.
porary appointment for Peemiller,
awaiting action by the president on his
return to the city. Among the
numerous candidates for the place is a.
B. Wilcox of Yankton, who has ar
rived here to look after his prospects.
Elk Congressman Pickler is urging the
appointment of H. D. Cham berlian, but
majority Of the committee of repubi-
can politicians in the state favor the
appointment of ex-senator Kennedy of
Eureka, and it is pretty certain that
the efforts Of Senator Kyle will be
directed towards inducing the presid ent

Kinley is expected to return to the
capitol about Sept. 10. Senator Kyle
is going to Illinois for few da S, but
will not go to South Dakota, and will
return to see the president in regard to
the marshalship appointment. The
serator says he spent two weeks in a
delightful manner wheeling through
the country districts of England and
Scotland. He will not go to his home
in South Dakota until several of the
patron age questions are settled.

he stole fire, and gave it to men. For
this sin he was bound to the rocks OF

This grew again as fast as it was

imagined?

parable. There is no cooking without
fire. In cooking and eating the mis-
