South Dakota has adopted the refer
endun by popular vote. Under its
provisions if any law is passed by the
Legislature Objectionable to the people
a petition may be circulated, and If
five per cent. of the voters sign it the
act must be submitted to the people
for ratification before it is spread upon
the statutes. 1t is the first time it has
been tried in this country. although
well known in Switzerland, and its
working will be watched with interest.
complication in the present instance
is that while there is a Populist gov
ernor, the Republicans have the nec-
essary twothirds in the Legislature to
pass any measure over his veto. Poll
tics ought to be exciting in that state
during the next year or so.

Some of the Southern states have
again asserted their rights to refuse
the franchise to all negroes within
their borders, while still persisting in
counting them when estimating popu-
latiOn and determining representation
both in Congress and in the electoral
college. If the South continues to dis
franchise the negro, it must give up
the representation in Congress which
the negro population now gives it.

II Love You Dear

There is no phrase SO worn and old
In all the world, nor one so sweet
To lovers lips or maidens ear
AS this refrain. Il love you, dear"
II love you, dear
There is no change as time goes on;
No new words seem to mean so much
As when they're uttered fondly near,
In trembling tones: II love you, dear"
Il love you, dear"
No night so dark, no day so long,
But hope brings comfort to the heart.
If only 'some one" standeth near
To murmur low: Il love you, dear''
Il love you, dear"

The New York Herald has a sugges-
tiOn relative to the settlement of the
Philippine question, which is worth
considering. 1t is that when this gov
ernment comes to pay to Spain the
S20,OOO,0Oo for the public improvements
she has made in the Philippines the
amount be handed over i'll silver dol
lars. Why isn't this a good plan to
ioilow? Spain could not object to it,.
She is fond Of silver and has used it
almost exclusively in her Philippine
affairs. This government has moro
silver dollars than it knows what to do
"l'h' and the transfer of 10000 900 of
them TO the Spanish treasury would
aHord an outlet for that amount az
money which is now lying idle. The
ypayment Of our voluntary obligation to
Spain in coin of that form would in
volve no breach of national faith md
could provoke no sound opposition I,
may be that the American silver dolla,
has at hast found its sphe re of real use.

Riddle Visits the Twenty-flrst Kansas
and Tells About How They Are
Progressing.
cANTEEN NUISANCE ABATED.

Chairman Taylor Riddle enjoyed an
outing last week. The time was spent at
Camp Thomas, near Chickamauga, and
the Twenty-6rst Kansas was visited. Mr.
Riddle has a son in this regiment, and
as he is quite young he wanted to know
how he was standing army life and
whether he was being we'll cared for.
On his way home he stopped at To-
peka for a few hours He was go
greatly pleased with the progress being
made by the Twenty-flrst that he was
very willing to talk about the boys.
II have been at Camp Thomas four
days" he said to an Advocate and News
representative, land never enjoyed any
trip more. The boys are camped on the
old Chickamauga battlefield. The monu-
ment erected to rebel General Preston
Smith is inside Of the guard lines Of the
Twenty-first Kansas camp. Just south
Of II Colonel Fitch has his headquarters.
The old Reed house Is but few yards
outside of the lines. The boys know the
history of the battlefield thoroughly al
ready and have visited every spot of in
terest in 1t. They drill In the Reed and
Brock fields, which were all fought over
thoroughly in the memorable battle Of
September 19, 1863"
II witnessed the regimental drills for
three days. Our boys have reached as
high state of proficiency as any regi-
ment which l saw in the camp. They
drill hard four hours every day in ad-
ditlOn to the time spent on guard mount,
dress parade, and the other duties call
ing for the use Of knowledge obtained In
drilling"
while taking ride one day with
Colonel Filth a rain came up and we
stopped at Gen. Bates headquarters to
