Race animosities between the Ger
man and Czech or Bohemian elements
in the Austrian Reichsrath became so
violent last June as to compel the en-
peror to close the session. Upon the
reopening Of the Reichsrath the other
day there was a resumption of the tur-
bulent proceedings in the lower house,
which made the orderly transaction of
business impossible. Doctor Wolff,
leader of the German Nationalist par
ty, was so violent in his insults to
Count Badeni, the Austrian premier,
that the latter, with the emperor's ap-
proval, challenged him to duel. In
the encounter which followed, Count
Badeni was slightly wounded.

County Against State,

Chamberlain, s. d., Special.-Presho
county and the state have locked horns
over claim of the former for about
$1,000 for costs of cases arising in
Presho county. which is unorganized.
The circuit court allowed the claim but
the state auditor refused to pay it. The
county commissioners have, therefore,
authorized the commencement Of pro-
ceedings to recover the amount from
the state. 1t is doubtful, however, if
the state auditor has power to pay the
amount of the claim until the legisla-
tUre appropriates the sum necessary to
do So

Cattle Still Astray.

Chamberlain, S. D., Oct. 27.-Cattle-
men between here and the Black Hills
have been so busy this season they
have had no opportunity as yet to re-
cover all cattle scattered by the storms
of last winter. Last winter hundreds
of animals belonging to cattlemen on
White river strayed to Rosebud and
Pine Ridge reservations, and while
many of them were recovered, there
are still many of which no trace has
thus far been found. A roundup
wagon is to be started out to hunt up
the strays. 1t is probable that many
of the missing cattle have fallen into
the hands of rustlers and will never
be found, while others have been
killed and eaten by the Indians.

This is an age in which cheap SUBJ
stitutes abound. Every one who goes
a-shopping is constantly pressed to
take something cheaper that is "just as
good" And the strangeness of it is
that the cheap article has all the ex-
ternal appearances of the costlier one.
How soon the cheap suit of clothes
gets out of shape, loses it's color and
becomes threadbare. How soon the
cheap carriage begins to rattle and be-
comes loose at every bolt. Lucky is the
owner if it does not spill him out on
the ground. How soon the cheap nail
will loosen or break in the shoe. You
go to your horseshoer and he returns
the same old answer-"The sheared
nail is Just as good as the hammered
one" From the nature of things this
cannot be. The suit of clothes. made
of the best material and by good work
manship, will outlast three or four
cheap suits, and look better at the
end. The carriage, where every part
is selected and the ironwork first class,
will last almost lifetime. The horse
shod with good nail will never be
famed with split nail, or throw his
shoes in time of greatest need Moth
ing is more irritating than to have a
horse throw his shoes just as one has
calculated on a pleasant afternoon
drive. But the horseshoer told you the
cheap nail was just as good Cheap
things are not just as good except to
the seller, who always makes more
money on such articles tan on good.
straight, honest goods.

The Dlngley tarlH act re-enacted, IN
its twenty second section, the provis-
ions in previous acts imposing dis
eliminating duty Of ten per cent. on
goods imported in foreign vessels. But
the wording was so changed that the
exemption from this duty applied to
vessels entitled to equal privileges
with our own by treaty or conven-
ton" instead of by treaty or any act
of congress-" A clause was also added
which laid the discriminating duty on
goods produced in a country not con-
tiguous to the United States, but COM
ing in to the United States from a
contiguous country. These changes
were capable of a construction which
would levy the additional duty on for
eign goods brought in British or
French vessels, hitherto exempt under
act of congress; and also on goods i'm
ported by way of Canada or Mexico
The encouragement holds that con-
gress did not intend to effect either of
these results. He finds no evidence
that congress meant to repeal the law
under which British vessels have been
exempt, and argues that the passage
of bill amendatory of that law, on the
same day the tariff bill was enacted,
shows an intention to keep it alive.
The clause relating to contiguous coun-
tries he regards as an amendment to
guard against evasion; not as a new
discrimination.

Long service in any capacity in which
fidelity and efficiency are essential is
properly a matter of pride. There is
no branch of the public service in
which these virtues are more nearly
universal than in that of the letter car
riers. The proposal-which has been
acceded to by the postoftice department
to permit letter carriers to wear
service stripes is deserved compli-
ment to one of the most efficient bodies
in the service of the public. For every
five years of service the letter carrier is
to be permitted to add a stripe of black
silk braid to his coat sleeve.

CHANGED ITS MIND.
New York Herald Stops Evening TeIe-
gram and Starts 1t Again.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22-The Herald this
(Monday) morning publishes the following
announcement: I'm view of it's many out
standing advertising contracts and its large
circulation, and for other considerations,
the several editions of the Evening Tele-
gram will continue to appear as usual ev-
cry day, with all the latest news and the
numerous bright features that have made
the Telegram the favorite evening paper of
Greater New York"
Yesterday morning the Herald announced
that the Evening Telegram, which is the
evening edition Of the Herald, would cease
publication. The notice read:
THE Evening Telegram ceases to appear
from yesterday for the time being. in ac-
cCrdance with Abraham Lincoln's wise
saying that You can fool all the people
some of the time and some of the people
all of the time, but you can't fool all of the
people all of the time
And he was right. The public also can
fool publishers all the time, ant advertisers
can fool publishers some of the time, and
they seem to be continuing to fool them all
the time. But the Evening Telegram does
not propose 10 be fooled all the time. An
up-to-date evening paper at one cent does
not pay Therefore, those who are publish
ing evening papers at one cent are either
fooling the public or fooling themselves.
AS the Evening Telegram does not intend
to fool itself or fool the public, 1t has ceased
publication until the time becomes ripe
when it can stop being fooled and stops
fOOling"

Il suppose so,' she returned thought

him suddenly bounce into the room with a

my wedding day would now be about three
months in the future instead of to-day.
But, I-I-what did l do?' demanded the

You merely made things interesting in

particularly outrageous thing he pleaded
with me to shorten the time to our wedding
day. 1t was originally planned that we
should be married about three months from

been enabled to knock week after week off
the intervening time, always at his urgent
request, until now all that have to do is to
be on hand at the proper time this evening

This" she replied, and then she !, anne
close to him and whispered in his ear melo-
dramatically: Make yourself scarce. Skip!
Scoot! Lie low Get out of the way and
keep out of the way until we have left.
If he had not been afraid it would lessen
his chance of getting me he would have
whaled you long ago, and l have feeling
that he will get after you with trunk

And if he doesn't" she added dreamily,
as her eyes rested on the boy and she
thought of all she had been through, Il
