The outbreak of ''Cuban sympathy
in the national house of representatives,
Tuesday, was merely democratic eff
fort to embarrass the administration
and undermine republican discipline.
Fortunately, that discipline was not to
be Shaken nor the good sense of the
party upset. The republicans and anti
Cleveland democrats used to revel in
much the same sort of sport during the
last administration, but the results were
rather more disquieting then than now.
The early prediction, that the republic
cans could be depended ON to support
the administration policy and not pre-
sumo to decide matters that belong to
the executive, has thus far seemed to
be well founded.

Denver has been having a
lively time between the efforts
of the labor unions to shut
up the big department stores and the
attempt of a combination of shopkeep-
ers to boycott the newspapers and COM
pei them to make 80 per cent reduc-
ton in advertising rates. The attack
on the newspapers failed miserably, for
the people turned around and boycott
ted the shops. The advertising con-
tracts have been renewed at the old
rates, but the war against the depart
ment stores is still on, though the pros
pect Of success may not be at all
bright,

Gov Shaw of Iowa has set an exam
pie worthy of imitation in the east. His
declaration, that the people gave a
majority of a million votes for the gold
standard of 1890 is an accurate state
ment of fact. The gold standard was the
issue before the country. That was the
cause of the principal fight at st. Louis.
That was what was argued on the
stump. The alternative was the free
coinage of silver. There was precious
little debate about International BIZ
metallism on the republican side Of the
fence. Senator Wolcott's notion, that a
majority of the votes polled by McKin-
ley were cast for bimetallism is support
ed by no evidence, Such evidence as
there is points to the conclusion that a
majority of the Mckinley votes were
for the gold standard. The bimetallist
Mckinley vote seems to have been con-
fined to that minority of the party which
Carter and few others, and there was
grave doubt for time whether some of
these men would support Mckinley or
follow Teller into the silver camp. The
bimetallist vote among the sound money
democrats who supported Mckinley was
nil Gov. Shaw gives a fine exhibition Of
courage and sound sense by boldly de-
claring 1.-THE beneficent effects Of the
gold standard" have been primary
cause of the prosperity Of the country
since 1879. What 1t means for Gov. Shaw
to take such stand will be better real
lied when we recall the fact that the sill
yer sentiment has had SO much strength
in Iowa, that that "favorite SON. and
former governor, Horace Boies, was d
prominent candidate before the Chicago
convention.

Sir Michael Hicls-Beach evidently
does not lack popular support for his
declaration that England is ready to

China, using free trade in the broad

1.-The Masque of Culture" a charming
burlesoue on the advanced" woman,
was given brilliant presentation be-
fore the Womans Club, Wednesday
afternoon, under the auspices of the
social committee, Miss Frances C. Morse
chairman. Aside from the entire delight
fulness Of the program the occasion was
memorable as being the first upon
which the club has undertaken anything
in the theatrical line. The departure was
welcomed by those of the members who
are anxious to see the club relax a. little
from its high devotion to culture and
who hope for a greater degree of Gamer
aderie among the members than has
hitherto existed, but there were not
wanting those who criticised the per-
Torrance on the score of belittleing
woman, and who felt that such unwont-
ed freshness was thing to be con-
demned. The number of the former and
the public generally will be pleased to
learn that the masque preceded by
curtain-raiser not yet selected will be
repeated in Association Hall on the
evening of Feb. l, and that tickets at

ert's and the other usual places. The
proceeds are to form a nucleus of the

A Creditable Record,

State Treasurer Phillips, in an inter
view with Sioux City Tribune reporter
few days ago, gave an outline of what
he had accomplished in the matter Of
the administration of South Dakota's
finances since the great Taylor blight
came with such crushing force upon the
state. In January of 1885," says the
Tribune, when Mr.. Phillips took his
office for the first time, he found not
only a treasury robbed completely by
the retiring treasurer, ". w. Taylor, of
1867, 900 but S225,000 Of tho floating in
debtedness Of the state due and 100000
of the school fund, a sacred trust, gone.
Mr.. Phillips was a banker of wide &C.
quaintance and, believing in his state,
succeeded in extending the time on the
floating Indebtedness and borrowing
about 1926, 900 with which to replenish
the school fund and pay the running
expenses Of the commonwealth. Since
that time the state has paid back the
borrowed 1926 900, cancelled the floating
debt of S225,000 and last year paid off
$4,000 of the bonded indebtedness.
At the close Of the present fiscal year,
Mr.. Phillips says. another 100000 of
the bonded debt will be taken up. The
states debt now amounts to abou:
81 900, 900, which at the rate of liquida-
tion of the past three years, will require
only about five more years to ex-
tinguish." This is record of which
every South Dakota citizen has reason
to be proud.

A Passing Craze.

The later accounts from Klondiks are
not such as to afford much encourage
ment to those contemplating a trip to
that remote region. Aside from the
now we'll authenticated accounts of the
limited chances for securing valuable
claims, or the opportunity to earn q
livelihood by any kind of employment
the hardships to be encountered in
reaching that far away country as now
reliably reported, are shown in numer-
Gus instances to be beyond the limit of
human endurance. The terrible suffer-
ing and numerous deaths resulting from
ship wrecks indicate the extreme haz-
ardous character of the journey, and the
trials incident to the land travel are
such as to require the strongest and
most robust constitutions to withstand.
A careful study of the dismal and for
bidding situation cannot otherwise than
make clear and plain the reason for the
rapid passing Of the Klondike craze,
which has been so apparent in the past
few weeks. Notwithstanding, the her.
cuiean efforts of the transportation COM
panies, and the booming literature cir
culated from the outfitting points to add
fuel to the fame ofthe greatest and most
baseless and unwarranted mining ex.
element that has ever transpired iu the
worlds history.

A Communistic Colony.

Pierre, March ia German colony
has been organized in Yankton county,
this state. to be governed by commu-
nism. The articles of incorporation for
the colony have been filed in the Office
of the secretary Of state under the name
of "Hutterische Bruder Gemeinde"
The articles state that the object Of the

community. Any person joining must
transfer all his property to TIE COM
munity, and in case Of expulsion forfeits
all the interest he has in such property.
In case Of death Of any member all his
interest goes to the community and he
cannot devise any Of it to his heirs.
The headquarters of the community are
at GAINESVILLE, Yankton county, and the
directors are Elias Walter, John Stahl,
Sacob Hofer, Elias Walter, Jr.. and
John Wins.

Juvenile Patriotism.

Robert Parsley, student in the high
school in Chadron, Nebraska, whose
mother is a SpanIard, incurred the
wrath of the patriotic lads of the school
a few days ago by saying, "if the Spani-
ards really did blow up the Maine, that
he was glad Of it," The remark SO
incenssd the boys that they proceeded
at once to give him severe beating,
after which they dragged him with a
hondkershief about his neck to post
near by, and had he not been rescued
by some of the older boys he would
have experienced a suspension .of
breath, for time at least.

The Site ndetermined.

There is little room for doubt, says
the Black Hills Mining Review, that the
Deadw ood and Delaware smelter will be
rebuilt Immediately. but just where the
site will be is still speculative. One
thing is reasonably certain, says that
paper, that it will not rebuild upon the
old foundation. In the first place the
area upon which the Stag is dumped is
about consumed, and to build large
smelter, of greater capacity than the
first, must be considered by the prnci-
pals as impractical. However, the COM
munity will not be held long in sus-
pense, as Or. Carpenters purpose is to
expedite matters rs rapidly as posi-.

CRISTOBAL COLON,S REMArNS.

Although much fault has been found by some Spaniards with the late Chris topher Columbus, 1t is reported that
 Captain General Blanco has been in- structed by the Spanish government to remove the remains of Columbus from the tomb in Havana Cathedral and car
 ry them back to Spain. If this is done
 it will be interesting to the people of
 the present day and if Columbus is
 may be interesting to him, and he may sadly and triumphantly think that even death and burial couldn't take the travel out of his bones. He died in Valladolid in 1506, and was buried
 there. Seven years later his body was
 removed to Seville, where his son Diego was buried. In 1856 the remains of both were transported to San Domingo and inferred in the cathedral, where they
 rested for two centuries and half. When San Domingo was ceded to France in 1795 the ashes of the illustri-
 ous Genoese were again disinterred, carried to Havana and buried there with great pomp and solemnity. Such, at least, is the story, though there are
 many who believe that the remains still lie in San Domingo.
 It seems to us that it would be ap- propriate to leave the remains of Co., lumbus in the land he discovered.
 They wouldn't be of much use to Spain except to remind her of former they don't seem to be really needed for that.

4 HEAVENLY SUND4I

"On Sunday Heavens gates stand ope
 And blessings are plentiful and rife,
 More plentiful than hope"
 Yesterday was that kind of Sunday, Heavens gates stood ope and It's golden light streamed softly down. Blessings were rife. A man could be deeply thankful that he had come safely through another hot week unto "the day of all the week the best" He could walk without spelling his boiled shirt or his temper. He could bike with full joy. He could eat with appe- tite and he could drink without de- spair. He couldn't go to meeting where the church was taking it's vacation, but there wasn't the usual need of going to meeting, for the devil with all his hot ness took a vacation yesterday, and left people in very reasonable and good state of mind. They were happy and proper at home, at the shore, on 'the path" or wherever they spent the most delightful and improving day of the year. The influence of yesterday will last all through this week, which the preachers say is the right thing for Sunday influence to do.

SOMEWHAT IMPROEED.

Somewhat improved'' is the latest from Montauk Point, with the cheering prediction by Secretary Alger that the camp will be all that can reasonably be expected very soon. Meanwhile, it is supposed that the order which didn't get out of the surgeon-generaPs office on time is now out and being acted on. This order was: Medical officers in charge of general hospitals, hospital trains, hospital transports and the hos pital at the camp at Pablo Beach, Flor ida, and the hospital at the camp at Montauk Point, New York, will be al- lowed to expend from the appropria- ton, subsistence of the army" for the diet of the enlisted men undergoing medical treatment under their charge
 at the rate of not exceeding sixty cents per man per day for the period each is undergoing treatment. The allowance so made will constitute a special fund in the hands of the medical officer in charge, from which will be purchased the entire diet of the enlisted men while undergoing medical treatment These purchases will be restricted to articles of food solid and liquid, the quantities and varieties of which will be deter
