1--WE believe in an immediate return
to the free homestead policy Of the Re
publican party and urge the passage by
congress of satisfactory free homestead
measure, such as has already passed the
House and is now pending in the Sen
ate"
The above is an extract from the Re-
publican platform adopted at st. Louis,
June 18, 1896. The success Of the Re
publican party therefore means $40O in
the pocket Of every homestead settler in
Roberts county, or an aggregate Of
about $94S, 900 to the people Of Roberts
county.--Roberts County Republican,
1895.
Now, homesteaders, voters Of Roberts
county, let us see how this Republican
party, this Grand Old Promiser, this
Party Of Progress and the Friend Of
Humanity" as it was styled in the reso-
lutions adopted by the Republican coun-
ty convention held at atSisseton q few days
ago, redeemed the pledges made to you.
When the Free Homes amendment came
up in the National House Of Represen-
tatives in Washington last March, the
vote was as follows:
Republicans voting for Free Homes,
81.
Republicans voting against Free
Homes, 1870!
You were hoodooed into voting the
Republican ticket two years ago. You
voted for William Mckinley for 'Presi-
dent Of the United States because you
were led to believe that the pledges
made to you through toe party plat
forms would be faithfully carried out.
How is it with you now! Are you
prepared to go down in your pockets
and dig up that $4OO which the Repub-
lican party pledged itself to save to you
If you would vote the Republican tick
et1 How does this sort of friendship
to Humanity" strike you anyhowf Do
you want whole lot more Of it, Then
keep right on voting the Republican
ticket, and you will be mighty certain
to get it. Industrial Emancipator.

a great many newspaper correspond

Press club and had some right jolly
times. On Thanksgiving we gave a
grand ball and entertainment, which
was the success of the winter. And 1t
wasn't so slow, either. There was a
number of evening gowns worn and in
many respects the affair had an up-to-
date social flavor to it.
Music, did you say? We had good
music. The night before a dance hall
had been burned and all they saved was
a piano. which we got for the occasion.
We also had violins, comets and the

The mystery of the four suspicious war
ships remains mystery to this day. The
navy department is convinced that those
seen by Lieutenant Sutherland and Com

although a few officers are inclined to be-
leve that the squadron seen was com

boat destroyer Terror. and one of the little
Spanish gunbOats that had escaped from
Cuba. The vessels named were all at
San Juan Porto Rico. during the war The
view most generally held at the navy de-
partment is that the Eagle and the Reso-
lutte saw the United States cruiser New
Orleans, a foreign built ship, and three
other American vessels, which were on
their way to Santiago at the time. But
the New Orleans and her consorts did not
see either the ResOIute or Eagle, and both
vessels were in plain sight of the stran-
gers on a bright moonlight night and dis

$4,000 RAISED
BY Chicago Public Schools for Lafay-
cite Monument.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Yesterday was cele-
brated as Lafayette day in Chicago.
The $50 public schools of the city all
held special exercises in commemoration
of the revolutionary hero. in compliance
with the suggestion of the Lafayette
memorial committee and each school
contributed handsomely to the fund for
the monument which is to be erected
in Paris to the great patriots memory.
The total amount contributed to the
fund by the public schools will approach
$4,000. This does not include the re-
turns which will be had from the
parochial schools of the city. From re-
ports received. it is probable that they
will not be far behind the public schools
in the amount contributed.
