brought about the close of the sawmill
season for 1898. Merrill & Ring, Mitch

to run till Dec. l. Quite large num-

find employment in the woods for the
winter. .. ,.2 .,

IN THE VAN. q

South Dakota has now the
distinction of being a direct
legislation state. It has led
the way for the Nation to the
next stage in the evolution of
government blythe people. The
question came before the vot-
@ers on November 8th, and car
ried BY an immense majority.
It is. a significant fact that no
nominee for state office was so
!. popular as the direct legisla-
ton amendment. The popu-
lists elected the governor, and
the republicans the balance Of
the state officers, all by smaller
1najorities than were received
by the proposition for the ex-
tension Of popular control over
the government. The same
state. also adopted woman suf-
frage and state operation of the
liquor business on November
Sth. The equal suffrage
amendment was beaten by a
large majority in 1890, at which
election a prohibition amend
ment was carried by a decided
vote. The vote. this year shows
a change of mind on both sub
jects, prohibition having been
discarded and woman suffrage
having been adopted. This is
in keeping with the invariable
rule that where women vote
there is no prohibition of the
liquor traffic. This result is
contrary to the expectations of
both the friends and enemies
of women suffrage, but Wyo-
ming, Colorado, Idaho, Utah,
South Dakota, and the Austria
liam colonies are exemplifica-
tons of the fact that women in
politics, as elsewhere, do not do
what they are expected to.
South Dakota has done we'll
in voting for direct Legislation
and equal suffrage. It may
also be said that state operation
of the liquor traffic cannot pos
sibly be greater failure than
prohibition has been for the
eight years it has been in force

We understand that Ely is one of the

All and all Ely is a beautiful little city,

iron must give employment to a large
force of miners here in the future, so
that with all its advantages this town

Women Namele.. In Korea.

r .
!! The Korean woman has not even q
name. In her childhood she receives a
nickname, by which she is known in the
family and by her near friends, but
which when she arrives at maturity is
employed only by her parents. To all
other persons che is "the sister, or
the daughter" Of such and such one.
After her marriage her name is buried
she is absolutely nameless. Her own
parents refer to her by mentioning the
district into which she has married.
Should her marriage be blessed with
children she is "the mother" of SO and

appear in a law court, the judge gives
her a special name for use while the
case lasts in order to save time and to
simplify matters. National Zeitung.

Tha sycamore has been called the

it was very early. Mary, queen Of Scots,

ALTGELD'S "NO."

do what they considered a duty
to the state, of which he was
then governor, and to the peo-

A guest at the Hollenden
Friday, says the San Francisco
Star, was Charles Barry, a
lawyer Of standing in Chicago.
formerly. secretary Of the drain
age commission, president of
the Personal Rights league,
and at present general counsel
of the Mexican Southeastern
Railroad Company. Mr.. Barry
has long been a warm personal
and political friend of ex-Gov.
Altgeld, of Illinois. In the
course Of running conversa-
ton Mr.. Barry referred to the
great railroad strike of 1894,
and then made this statement:
There are very few per-
sons" said he, who have any
idea as to how near this coun-
try came to being dlunged into
rebellion. At that time there
was one man who was urged
to take the entire matter in his
hands. That man was John p.
Altgeld. You we'll remember
the famous order of President
Cleveland sending United
States troops out to protect
railroad property in Illinois.
Then when the military turned
out they dubbed and shot
strikers. It was at this juno
ture that several other gentle
men and myself, all Of whom
were we'll acquainted with the
governor, called on him and
told him that it was his duty
to stop the onslaught of the.
military. The governor had
already sent his famous mess
age to President Cleveland.
After we had stated the object
of our visit the governor asked:
Well, what would you have me
dor / acted as spokesman for
our party, and my reply came
quick, The thing for you to do,
governor is to send a message
to Cleveland telling him to re-.
move the national troops from
Illinois. Give him three days
in which to get the troops out
Of the state. Tell him that if
he does not remove the troops
within the time given that you
will call out the militia and
drive them out. The people
are with you. They are against.
the plutocrats whom Cleveland
is seeking to protect
" .s'But this means rebellion,
interjected the governor, and
the whole national power
would be directed against this.

will have every Southern state
and one-half of the population
of the Northern suites with
you.

ments with the greatest atten-

word No "
