EVENING SERMON.

EVENING SERMON.
Inc the evening sermon the question
WAS further gone into, showing the
present condition of things in Cuba,
and forecasting the way out. The
speaker described the location and size
of Cuba, its richness of soil, it's very
great natural beauty, its nearness to
the United States. Also its population,
the possibilities of the island under fair
rule, it's past history and it's present
dcplorable condition. 1t was vivid,
but said picture. He then referred to
the efforts which the Cubans had made
to better their condition, to. their pres
ent heroic struggle for independence,
to the way in which the Spanish gov
ernment had met this effort on the
part of the people.
General Weyler came in for a word
in passing, and the word was by no
means complimentary, inasmuch as by
his actions in Cuba, had been the prin-
cipal cause OF much, if not most Of
the sufferings of the Cubans during re-
cent years. In the opinion OF the
speaker, the sorrows of the Cubans
were the result of misrule of Spain; for
II the Cuhans had been allowed to gov
ern themselves, their condition would
be far more favorable and prosperous
than it has ever been and decidedly
far more so than II is now.
Some people, he stated, were OF the
opinion that the condition of the Gu
bans was none of our business, and
that we had poor and suffering people
In our own land. and that we should
attend to the needs of these, and leave
the Cubans alone" Very good, said
he, but added that these very people,
so pitiful for their own kin, were the
very people who did least for them in
charity or help
OUR DUTY TO INTERFERE.
He believed that it was the duty of
this country to interefer on behalf of
the Cubans, and believed that our
president and his advisers had taken
the proper course.
Referring to the result of wars, he
thought that now the Cuhans would
have a fair chance to show the world
what stuff they were made of, and pre-
dicted for the people a prosperous flu
ture, as soon as they secured for
themselves what they so much needed
and desired, their freedom and indepen-
dence.
He thought also that the Spanish
government would receive a very SER
ious blow, and that Spain would come
out of the struggle shorn of her re-
naming power, which power was far
less than it was years back He quot
ed statistics showing that the people
Of Spain were far behind other nations
in culture and general advancement
and that instead of emerging from the
partial darkness they seemed to be GO
into it deeper.
He referred to the utterances of Pro,
fessor Fiske in support of his asser-
tions and to other persons of author
ity who held the same views. War
was terrible evil, but out of 1t good
might come and he believed that the re-
suits OF the present war would show to
the world that the United States had q
just cause.

GEO. SPARKLING, for Secretary of
State, was born June 8, 1916, near
Leeds, England, of poor parents, with
nine others in the family. He COM
menced to work at the age of seven
years in the field at twelve cents day
until he was twelve years old, and then
went to work in the West Yorkshire

years. An accident by flooding the mine
drove him with others to the Norman
ton coal mines. While at this mine he
was on the executive committee of the
Miners Association of West Yorkshire,
and was employed by the local union as
checkweighman. For several years he
spent some of his time with the union

HUGH SMITH, the reform nominee
for auditor of the state of South Dako
ia, was born in Milwaukee, Wis, on
April 18th, 1858, and grew to manhood
in his native state. He received good
common school education, and moved
to Miner county, South Dakota, in 1880,
locating on farm, which he still owns.
Mr. Smith is of Irish parentage, G thor
ough and systematic business man, and
citizen against whom not a discredit-
able word can be spoken. In 1887 he
was nominated for county auditor, hold
ing the position four successive terms.
when his party again honored him with
the nomination for sheriff, and in the
tidal wave Of Republican success in 1894
he was the only man to pull through.
Truly it may be said of him that ''he
has never been defeated for Office" In
1896, upon the success of the fusion
forces in the state legislature MI. Smith
was selected First Assistant Secretary
of the Senate, thus giving him a wide
acquaintance and creating for him the
enthusiastic support of his hosts of
friends throughout the state in his pres
ent contest.
We can use no better words to de-
scribe the universal feeling of esteem in
which he is held than by reproducing
the article written by Levi D. Wait Of
the Howard Democrat, describing the
welcome he received upon his return
from Aberdeen, which appeared In the
Sioux Falls Press. The article is as
follows:
Howard and Miner county glories in
the nomination of Hugh Smith for state
auditor. This was demonstrated when
the citizens of this place last night re-
gardless of politics congregated at his
residence to congratulate him upon his
nomination by the fusion forces at Alb
erdeen. The citizens were headed by
the Howard military band, and after a
musical selection Attorney L. J. Martin
introduced Attorney c. A. Crissey, a
we'll known Republican, who in few
well-chosen words spoke of Mr.. Smiths
long residence in this county, and the
high esteem in which he was held by
everyone here. Mr.. Crissey was follow
ed by Hon. A. E. Chamberlain, of
Huron, who happened to be sojourning
in the city. Mr.. Chamberlain is also a
Republican, but he said in the event of
the election of Hugh Smith for auditor,
and Maris Taylor for treasurer, South
Dakota would have two officers of whom
the state might we'll feel proud, or
words along that line. He said he hoped
the time would come when the vot-
ers Of all political parties would find it
to their interest to vote for such men as
Hugh Smith and Maris Taylor. With
men of their integrity an d ability in Of
fee the state would not have to prose-
cute boodling officials. He knew they
were honest and better men could not
have been nominated Editor Osbon of
the Howard Spirit, followed, and he
said Mr.. Smiths running qualities were
excellent; few appreciated that fact bet
ter than he, as Mr.. Smith defeated him
for sheriff of Miner county four years
ago. Mr.. Osbon made happy hit and
the crowd cheered. He also said the

lers aud railroad extortions in the state.
His first act as trained bueiness man
was to accept no mans word. that the
cash belonging to the treasury of the
state was actually in the treasury when
heentered upon his duties, even under
the necessity of calling out the militia
, to guard the funds. He demanded that
they be actually counted and brought
in lawful money to Pierre. He discov-
cred that Kyle was man that could
not be trusted and was ready to deliver
himself to any party for votes, and he
courageously opposed him. He discov-
cred that the state had been robbed and
looted by former officials, and had the
courage to bring them to the bar of JUS
tice. He learned that his own appoint
ees had forgotten the demands of hon
esty by the reform party and had fallen
into the ways of the opposition and he
hesitated not moment to bring them
to the bar of justice and hurl them from
office, His firmness and business prin-
ciples have been one continual surprise to
the opposition. They could not under
stand how it was possible that man
could demand the same standard of
honesty from men in his own party that
he exacted from the opposition. The
more they learn of theman, the more the
Imposition admire and praise his cour-
no and integrity until the very name
is now a sy nonym for honesty. The
people will not forget Andrew p. Lee at
the polls. He sent out the First Regi-
ment without cost to the state, even go
ing down in his own pocket for funds.
sHe held up the hands of the railroad
.commission in their great fight with the
railroads, and advanced funds to defray
/ expense.

Republicans must nominate just as eff
cient and honest candidate or he
would be obliged to cast his ballot for
the fusion nominee for state auditor.
Chas. Lester, a leading Populist of this
county and one Of the delegates to the
Aberdeen convention, followed in few
brief remarks, and Mr. Smith, though
making no pretensions of being an ora
tor, thanked his friends and neighbors
for the interest which they manifested
in his candidacy.
Hugh Smith is on the shady side of
40 years of age. He has been a resident
of this county for the last eighteen years
and for eight years held the Office of
county auditor. From the auditors Of
fee he was elected sheriff, which Office
he held two years, and declined Sec
Ond nomination. In two of five cam
paigns he has passed through he was
the only man elected on his party's tick
ct, showing the respect in which he is
held by the people who know him best.
He was never defeated for office. In all
of his past official career not one word
can be said against his record It has
always been clean and the public mat
ters under his charge honestly admins
tered. In his canvass Of the county for
sheriff he was the only man elected on
the ticket, although Bobby" Person
did not leave stone unturned to defeat
him. In 1897 Mr.. Smith was assistant
secretary of the state senate. Plair
''Hugh," as he is best known here al
home, will add strength to the fusior
ticket. To know him is to like him
He has no enemies. Everyone is his
friend. Always jovial, good natured
and kind hearted, Miner county appre.
ciates the honor conferred upon her al
Aberdeen when the fusion forces came
here for state auditor. Mr.. Smith has
always been Democrat, and is a mem
Der of the Woodmen and Workmen
societies.
He will receive every vote of the re-
form forces and many from the other
side. Hugh Smith is sure winner and
when conducting the affairs of the office
the people may rest assured that nc
Nipple, Anderson or Mayhem tactics
will be tolerated

FREEMAN KNOWLES for congress.
What is said about Kelly is equally
applicable to Mr.. Knowles. He needs
no introduction to the people of the
state Of South Dakota The people of
the Black Hills honor and love him as
much for the enemies he has made as for
the noble fight he has made in behalf Of
reform.
\ His record in congress during the last
two years commands the admiration of
every man When the Wall Street
owners of the Republican party sent out
their circulars urging the congressman
to saddle upon the people the interest
bearing bonds while war conditions ex-
listed and made it possible, Mr.. Knowles
voice was heard condemning the out
rage and showing up to the American
people the nature Of the men who were
throttling the coming generation.
On every question that came before
congress he voted on the right side of
it. No truer man or friend Of he who
labors with his hands or produces some
thing from the earth can be found than
Freeman Knowles and in the Black Hills,
where he is known best, his majority
will be the greater.

R0HN E. KELLY for congress needs
no introduction to the people of the
state of South Dakota This is the
fourth time he has been nominated by
the Peoples party. He has made three
campaigns, succeeding in the last, and
has represented his state in congress for
the past two years, and has fully vindi-
Gated the confidence which the people
placed in him. On every one of the
great questions which has come before
the history making 55th congress, John
E. Kelley has been on the side Of the la
boring and producing class with every
vote. His voice has been heard repeat
edly in the house in advocacy of the
rights Of the outraged Cubans, to tax
the corporations, against bonds, in fav-
or of the annexation of the Hawaiian
group and in favor of vigorous prose-
cution of the war; John was raised on
Ha arm and educated to labor with his
bands, but while doing 50 his strong
and vigorous mind developed and his
industry and victory has brought him
to the front. His heart beats in smypa-
thy with the laborer and producer and
he has impressed himself upon those
kind of men in this state that they will
not fail to return him to his work, that
he has so courageously and faithfully
commenced.

lion, IN the 18th regiment Of Vermont
Volunteer Infantry. Was elected states
attorney in Vermont and served from
1878 to 1880. In 1880 he was elected to
the state legislature of Vermont, and
served his state for one term till he was
appointed assistant United States Attor-
ney for the Territory of Dakota in 1882.
He served in that capacity for the United
States till President Arthur in 1884, ap-
pointed him Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the Territory Of Da-
kota and as such judge Of the fourth ju-
dicial district. He served as member
of the Supreme Bench of the Territory
of Dakota and presided over the fourth
judicial district of Dakota from 1884 to
1888. He was appointed as one of the
board of trustees of the Soldiers Home
at Hot Springs by Gov. Mellette and re-
appointed again by Gov. Sheldon, and
his home county of Minnehaha elected
him to the state senate in 1896.
The record of Judge Palmer is that the
people, not only Of his own state, but
those in high authority at Washington,
and those in the state Of his adoption,
have been pleased to honor him. When
the st. Louis Republican convention in
'96, sold out to the money power and
adopted the gold standard. Jcdge Palmer
could not go with them, and leaving
the party of his youth and all his associ-
ates, he walked out at the Aberdeen
convention in 1896, and he has now full :
ly aligned himself with the Peoples par
ty and is firm defender and advocate
of the Peoples party policies. In ability
Judge Palmer is the peer of any lawyer
in the state, ripe in experience and
an accurate knowledge of the require
ments of the office to which he has
been nominated. The people may
depend upon it, that he will make an
able and model attorney general and the
business of the Office will be conducted
honestly and ably.
