Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tenn.
says the following on infdel-
ity;
1T is the desert where
virtue trembles to tread,
where hope falters and
where faith is cruci6ed, the
infdel dreams. TO him all
there is of heaven is bounded
by this span of life, all there
is of pleasure and love is
circumscribed by a few feet
ing years; all there is OF
beauty is mortal; all there
is of intelligence and wis
dom is the human brain;
all there is of mystery and
ingenuity is fathomed by
human wisdom, and all there
is of virtue is measured BY
the relations of man to man,
To him, all must end ir
tongueless dust, and all tha'
lies beyond the grave is
voiceless shore and starles'
sky! TO him, there are M
prints of deathless feet il
its echoless sand, no thrill
of immortal music in It's Joy

aud like a fallen seraph Hy
ing in rayless night, b
grepes his way on haggini
pinions, search ing for a ligls
where darkness reigns, fG
life where Death is king.

Here is what Peter
Cooper, who died worth
many millions, said of a
newspaper: "In all the
towns where a newspaper is
published every mau should
advertise in it if nothing
more than a card, stating
his name and the business he
is in. If it does not pay the
advertiser, it lets people at
a distance know the town
in which you reside is a
prosperous community of
business men. AS the seed
is sown so the seed rec
ompenses. Never pull down
your sign while you expect
to do business"

called upon to lead in prayer
responded in this fashion.

down on the government OF

ers, most humbly do we be-
seech Thee to draw near
unto them and whisper a few
things i'll their ears that the
statutes forbid us to print
Thou knowest our wants,
but the subscribers knoweth
them not and seldom steps
in to inquire. Let it be
known to them that there
are large patches on the
homestead of our pants, and
there is an aching void in
the front of our backs, and
that we hunger and thirst
and he asketh US not to sup
with him. Thou knowest,
Lord, that our sprint, paper
and ink cost money, but the
subscriber kno veth it not
and careth a darned sight
less. Thou knoweth that
we are cold and the sub.
scriber bringeth not the
wood he promised, and we
are shivering and shaking
while lie roasteth his shins

posed a typical case of tht

The editor of that journa
recently received a letter
from Thadeus Wheelock o.
Vienna, N. Y. reading If
part as follows, says the St,
Louis Republic:
II am very glad my sub

you know you vile cursed liar

it, and the surgeon, when

KNOWLES WAKES WARM. two Ex-CH|EF JUSTICES.
The San Diego, CaI., Sun Contains
the Following in Regard to
Distinguished 0akotans.

Men of fame and makers of history
are continually gliding into San Diego
and out again before the story Of their
lives can be learned. A few days ago
two of the most distinguished jurists
and scholars of the Dakotas met in this
city and both are stopping here tenn
porarily. They are Judge P. G. Shan
non and the Hon. Bartlett Trip. The
former is here for the winter. and the
latter for few days visit with his friend,
Mr.. Wetmore of Logan avenue. Judge
Tripp succeeded Judge Shannon as
chief justice Of the supreme court Of
Dakota territory, and was afterward
minister to Austria under Cleveland's s
administration.
Judge Shannon arrived the middle of
December and is headquartering at Ho
tel Brewster.
Judge Shannon has been very cordi-
ally received here where he has met old
friends. He was made an honorary
member of the foremost gentlemen's
club Of the city, was a guest of the
Loyal Legion at its annual banquet,
and was also an honored guest at the
Florence Heights Club on Washington's
birthday, the finest affair Of the sea-
son.

in this state was almost a complete vic
tory. In 1888 the free silver reform
elements will work as one party and 60
into the campaign with all the conf
dence in each other known to or in an
old and vic'ori ,us party. The reform
elements have discovered that the
Populist platform and the principles
contended for are all that any patriot
and we'll wisher of his coun ry could
ask for, hence the solid union Of forces
everywhere. It is glorious sign. 1t
shows beyond question that the people.
irrespective of former party name or
fame or claim or issue. have learned
that if the nation is saved to the people,
they must all unite under one banner
in opposition to the gold-bound and
plutocratic crowned horde whose only
aim is to crush labor and despoil the
tillers of the soil. The Horny Clews of
Wall street want to sell national honor
for money, and overlook the Maine
tragedy rather than lose their present
grip on the throats OF the people. This
is the crowd that howled about nation
al honor" in 1896, and this is the money
head of the Repu blican party, which
the people must overcome before they
can regain the rights granted by the
constitution. The people of South Da-
kota are intelligent and clear headed.
They have studied much since the Nc
Kinley election and are now satisfied
that all the promises of Mark Hanua
were only campaign bubbles. The free
silver elements realize that a stronger
and a more vigorous campaign can be
made under one flag than under a
vision, hence the Huron meeting
spoken of at the head of this article.
lhi, is the spirit that will bring victory
to the people in this state and in all the
states. Hurrah for the Beadle county
patriots for their gallant action at
Huron. Let the good work go on. The
victory in 1898 will reflect the sound
wisdom of the people. ..m. -.

gold basis. If you are not even mo-
ignorant than you are unjust, you
would know that no nation ever con-
Quoted war upon gold basis. At the
very first scent of danger gold Away g
hunts its cowardly hole. In the war of
the rebellion, gold was more powerful
enemy of the union and did us more
harm than all the armies and navies of
the rebels. It was worth most when
our fortunes as a nation " ere the lowest.
1t was in open alliance with our enemies
the world over. It slew our people in
the rear while our soldiers were fighting
in the front. It's owners rejoiced at
union defeat because it sent up the
price of their gold. Of course, the
gold gamblers would like to have this
nation placed at their mercy, SO that
they might dictate the terms of both
war and peace. But if you think the
peoples representatives will consent to
such conditions, You might as we'll
disabuse your minds at once.
Please give my regards to the Provi-
dence board Of trade and tell them for
me that men who would take advantage
of the present delicate and strained
foreign relations of their country to
foist robber financial system upon
the people are, in my judgem' Mt, great
er traitors to humanity than was Judas
Iecariot or Benedict Arnold. Very
respectfully yours, ....

not share. But. At any rate. while the
results at Columbus do not make one
hair white or black on any public issue
or affect any matter relating to pubic
policy. the pending election is of wider
interest than any senatorial election has
been since the memorable ConklinG con-
test mt Albany in 1881. Yet in the present
instance, an insignificant personal ambi-
ton is all that is involved.
While the preliminaries at Columbus
give strong backing to the antiHanna
forces, making good many of their pre-
dictions, the opinion plainly prevails
that in the end Hama is likely 10 win,
and this opinion Is held because the
universal belief is that il the thing is
possible Hanna viii buy the senator
ship. Columbus is likely to witness the
like of what happened in Montana in
1898 when republican members OF the
legislature shamelessly stepped across
the party line and, for pay, gave their
support to "A senatorial candidate who
could afford to pay for il. But there's
this difference; Hanna is cleVer-if he
pays, you may be sure that there'll be a
delivery of goods that will count; he'll
not pay and then lose.
Under the circumstances, in spite of
yesterdays glowing reports. the defeat
of Mr.. Hanna would be a surprise;
many veteran politicians lay little store
by the reports relating to the oppose
tons strength. Some of them assert
that, even if Mr.. Hanna meets defeat in
to-day's organization of the Legislature,
he will nevertheless win the senator
ship at the election to be held one week
from Wednesday. They say thai the
democratic delivery to Bushnell OF to
any other republican will not DC made
Indeed, among the silver forces are men
who prefer the election of Hanna. Their
atoria1 circles is an advantage to silver's
friends: their feeling is that they would
rather have him elected than not, for
policy's sake.
Whatever the outcome, the element
of uncertainty gives added interest to
with the sudden retirement of a oss
whose rise was sudden, we may
be sure, because he utterly lacks deli
cacy in his dealings with men who are
worthier than he. that the sense of salts
faction over his defeat would be nowhere
tinguished republican leaders who We're
honored before Hanna's time and who
would rejoice to be rid of him.

enough TO say that practically they
are. That statement of the case leaves
many administration organs at liberty
to say, by way of reservation, that the

N gR. HANNA's men arc after Gov
M ernor Bushnell. With their
harsh talk about him they are
lumbus. The governor simply responds
with the remark that the people of
Ohio are sick and tired of the bossing
to which Hanna has subjected them,
that he proposes to defeat Hanna if he
can and that he will stake his political
fortunes on the outcome.
That is said properly enough, yet
Governor Bushnell will remember that
by his own conduct he has drawn this
criticism upon himself-ne appointed
Hanna to the vacancy that resulted
when Hanna forced Senator Sherman
to resign. He wouldn't do 1t again; he
was urged by some of his best friends
to refuse in the first place. What the
governor got in return was the hot
foot" when he ran for the governorship
last autumn and only by little missed
defeat
BY the way, there must follow, for a
few days at least n senate vacancy for
Ohio. The announcement of last week
was that the Ohio legislature will elect,
January II, a senator for the short
term-the one expiring in 1S99-and one
for the succeeding long term. Accord
ing to the code Senator Hanna's term
expires to-day. He was appointed to
succeed Sherman during a recess of
the Ohio legislature. The constitution
of that state declares that an appoint
ment made when the Legislature is not
in session is only until the next meet
ing of the legislature.
If this rule holds as to federal SEN
atorships. Ohio must elect at once if
it proposes that its two seats shall be
occupied without interruption.
