anu Aleck johnson. ne looks OVeT Gue
ticket and sees the names of men who
in the past have stood faithfully by the
railroads and corporations in the legis-
lature and upon the state board Of
equalization. Can it be wondered that
he smiles derisively at a platform com
ing from such source and at ticket
composed Of such men? i
One Republican who has been promi-
nent in the party for years and who
has probably as much influence with
the farmers of the state as any man in
either party writes as follows: II have
always been Republican and have
always voted the Republican ticket and
I always expect to but when the party
is seized, bound and gagged by band
Of railroad lobbyists and corporation
lawyers and ticket nominated which
is called Republican I for one repudiate
it, The party muet be rescued from
the hands of these men and the only
way to do it is to defeat at the polls the
ticket they have named" OF course
such men are sore-heads and kickers
but they intend to continue to kick
until Boss Kittredge and Aleck John
son cease to be the power that controls
the Republican party. They are kick
ing now, they will continue to kick
until the 8th Of November, when they
expect to give the final kick which will
dispose of those gentlemen for some
time. G. N. LUKES.

THE MACHINE rs DooMED.

4oG 4AVnAN = ID 0OOmGO.
The Republican bosses in South Da-
kota are doomed. They have been
weighed in the balance and found cor
rupt. In every county in the state, old
time Republicans vino stood by the
party in 1895, are out in open revolt,
and say that it is better to down the
machine at the polls this year than to
allow it two more, years in which to
more fully intrench itself
In Codington county, W. s. Glass,
who carried that county at the Repub-
lican primaries over Supt. Frank Crane
and Alex Johnson, is now fighting the
ticket nominated at Mitchell. With
him are NJ. S. Sheldon, late Republican
county chairman, F. M. Phillips, an
other of the most prominent Republi-
can workers in that part Of the state,
G: II. Myres, one of the first bank ex-
aminers South Dakota ever had, and
many other Republicans Of more or
less prominence.
In Hughes county John Sutherland,
G. N. Lukes, J. s. Gleckler and about
$50 others who voted the ticket in '96
are out working day and night to de-
feat it this year.
In Roberts county Republican Sena-
tor Ross and Mr.. Speckman, who was
named as Indian Agent recently by the
Secretary of the Interior, are the lead
ers who will put an independent Re-
publican legislative and county ticket
in the field next Saturday against the
Dave Eastman and Kittredge machine
ticket, which will cause the silver
forces to carry that county by q sub
stantial majority. Roberts county
gave Mckinley s75 majority in 1895,
but this year the silver ticket will car
ry there by 200 majority. Senator
Ross is special friend Of Major Pick
Ter and like hundreds Of old soldiers Of
the state. has got enough Of the pre-
tended friendship Of the Republican
party.

the homesteaders who believed the Re-
publican party pledge Of free home
steads meant something, have conclud-
ed, since all but ten Republicans in the
lower house Of congress voted against
free homes, tnat they will vote the sill
yer ticket, since the silver senators and
congressman voted for the bill.
In Faulk and Sully counties the bolt
is as large as in Hughes county, and in
Douglas, BonHomme, Union, Sanborn,
Lake, Brookings and several other
counties, hundreds of life long Repub-
licans will vote with the silver forces.
Similar conditions have never been
known to exist in state or nation ex-
cept to presage landslide and it is
entirely safe to say that Governor Lee
will carry eastern South Dakota by
about 10000 plurality. The Doodle
which the Republicans are
about to inaugurate will have little in
duence. Justice and right are on the
other side and the machine is doomed.

Some statistics on education collated
by writer in the Chicago Times.
Herald have special interest now that
the school year has begun. 1t appears
from these figures that the public
schools in the United States have an
enrolment of IA, 465, ,391. All of them
do not go to school every day, the
average daily attendance being 8, 747,-
015 children. To teach these requires
the services of 400, 1876 instructors, OF
whom 130, 1856 are male and 269, $50 are
female. There are 24O,96S school.
houses, and the value of all school
property is $455, 94s, 164. The cost
of the public schools is $1S1. 453, 7S0
per year, or S2.61 per capita of popu-
lation. For each pupil it costs $1S. 62.
On the basis of these and other fig.
ures, the assertion is made that the
United States, with but one-twentietb
the population of the world, within
her confines has one-third of the
worlds schoolchildren, and spends
one-half of the amount spent by the
world for education.

The supreme court of Massachu'
setts has decided that the city of Bos.
ton is the trustee of the fund created
by DR.. Benjamin Franklin in 1890,
now amounting to about $500, 600.
Franklin designated that the fund
should be managed by the selectmen
of the town, and the ministers of the
oldest Episcopal, Congregational and
Presbyterian churches" and it was
contended before the court that this
was tantamount to creating board OF
trustees. The court rules in deci.
sion written by Judge Allen that the
gift to the town passed to the city on
its incorporation, and that munici.
pality may be trustee for public
charity.

Hungry for n Handmade.

He was sitting in park. He looked
down hearted and Respondent. His
clothes were dusty, but not ragged.
There was a look of despair on his
boyish face-almost look of desper-
alton. Some one noticing his despona-
ent look sat down by him, saying:
81 Judge you are stranger IN the
city; 1 want to shake hands with
you"
A bright look came into the young
mans face, and he eagerly held ont
his hand.
'.Oh," he said, II am so hungry for
a handshake! l lef. my home about
week ago with the prayers and best
wishes oi my friends. Times wcrc
hard, and it seemed necessary for me
to go into the world to make living
for myself. l supposed there WAS lots
of work for me in this city, but I
don't think there is anything, and I
am discouraged.
He bit his lip hard as he said this,
and his mouth quivered.
Il will try again" he went on to
say, 'since some one cares enough for
me to shake hands with me.
That land shake was the beginning
of his success. Down-hearted and
discouraged before, feeling that there
was no one who cared for him in
great city, his heart was made glad by
that simple thing, hand shake, and
he took courage and soon found en-
ployment. Rams Horn.

Judging from the intermediary state
censuses and from other enumerations
of the people, the Philadelphia Press
expects the national census of 1900 to
show that the centre of population
has stopped moving westward and has
gone toward the southeast. It points
out the large increase in Massachu
setts of 256, 402 in 1895 over 1890, and
an increase of 553, ,204 between 1885
and 1895, an increase nearly twice as
great as was made during the previous
ten years. Rhode Island census also
showed larger percentage of increase
in population between 1890 and 1896
than it had in the previous five years.
Cited also in evidence is the well.
known fact of the rapid growth in
population of the New England cities,
and of the cities in New York and
Pennsylvania. More striking, how
ever, is the record in New Jersey of
an increase in 1896 of 228,O09 over
1890, or two-thirds as much increase
in five years as the state made in the
previous ten years. On the other
hand state censuses in Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, and Iowa, and es-
Inmates based on school or other
enumeration in other states in the
middle West, while insuring an en-.
couraging gain in that section, do not
equal the large percentage OF increase
found in the states on this side of the
Alleghanies. Two causes for this
change in growth occur to the Press,
One is the fact that the limit of prof
table agriculture has, for the pres.
ent, been reached, and has rolled
back the tide of population. The 9th,
er reason is the growth of manufac.
turing in the eastern states, which is
drawing to the cities the increase
which once went 30 largely to the
West

A new phase of philanthropy has
appeared in Allegh Pa, in a move
ment for the cheer of the sick in hos
pitfalls. 1t is proposed to establish an
association for the loaning of pictures
to be hung ON the walls of the hos
pitfalls, the pictures to make the tour
of the hospitals, and then to be re-
turned to their owners. One of the
first to respond offered sixty of the
pictures from his home. In an &C.
companying letter he remarked that
many persons spend part of the
year ont of the city, and during that
time the pictures would do much good
in the hospitals without in the least
depriving their owners Of the enjoy.
ment of them. 1t is beautiful char
ity, akin to that of providing flowers
for the hospitals, and may be widely
copied if arrangements can be made
for insuring the safety of the pictures
while ont OF their owners possession.

The New York Sun says:-The ca
BILE cars are not alone responsible for
a new ailment which has lately made
its appearance. A medical journal
which has published an account of the
new ailment attributes it chiefly to
the trolley, although in both cases the
active participation of the patient is
necessary. According to the investi-
cations of physician, this new trou.
BILE consists of fracture of one of the
bones of the spine caused by striking
the back of the seat in street car
He finds that most persons rise in
their seats before they have reached
their destination or before the car has
come to full stop. In many cases
they are thrown back on their seats
when this happens or against the back
of the seat, and this violent contact
is likely to break one of the small
bones i'll the spine. Luckily the result
is not nearly so serious as it sounds
and is much more likely to be incon-
venient than dangerous. AS the in.
vestigations which proved the exist.
ence of the new ailment were made in
Western town where transportation
was chiefly by means of the trolleys,
the same effects might not have been
expected here. But the physician
found that the trouble was likely to
be caused by any quickly moving ve-
hicle quite Independently of what the
motor power was. SO persons suffer
ing from unexplained backaches may
discover that they stood up too soon
while those who have so far escaped
may take warning and keep their
seats, in the words of the conductor,
until the car stops.

BEST,

There's no use disputing. The dear oad
refrain
Comes echoing sweetest again and again.
And it's tenderest when, with the hardships
gone by,
Its cadence brings smiling instead OF sigh
When 1t breathes Of welcome Of roses and
cheer,
Instead of the parting which wakens team
When 1t greets the glad pilgrims from ovej

The simple, and threadbare old tune Home,
Sweet Home"

But for laddies returning and laddies who
roam,
The standby forever is just Home, Sweet

are now 2691 miles of railways open,
and of tramways 65 miles. The total
earnings amounted to SIG, 700, 900,
