Ex-Governor Sheldon fells
Political Truths
TerseIy.
Last Nights POlital Meeting
a Republican Vote
Winner.

The first republican address or the
year was delivered in DeadwOod last
night. There have been several. adj
dresses to the people from those OF the
opposing side III politics, but last night
vas the first time a republican mas lit
ed his voice in this city during the
campaign and it was by a gentleman
who Mas for four years the chief exc
cutive Of the state-ex-Governor Chas.
II, Sheldon.
The meeting was preceded by the
mandolin orchestra. Mr.. George V.
Ayres, chairman OF the county central
ccmmltte, then called the meeting to
order, and In a few words introduced
the speaker. Mr.. Sheldon started out:
Politics Is the science Of govern
iAent, which zone Of Us can understand
,oJ well. 1t carries with 1t the PROPOSE
ton hat each OF Us must ave his own
political opinion. Another is that when
we go to the polls we should each vote
that ticket whose principles as ex-
pressed in platforms and standards CO.
ircide with our beliefs. and must see to
it that there are men 10 represent our
particular phase who, we think, will
best execute that principle. We Of
South Dakota have had a queer kind Of
politics for a number of years. Last
spring u body of men met In Aberdeen
and named men for whom they are
asking the suffrage Of the people. This
body Of men was made UP Of three par
ties, and If any OF them are to be be-
lieved, they were not agreed upon but
one proposition. Their actions compel
VI t declare with the eminent French
man, who once remarked that language
was made to conceal thoughts.
The democrats Of South Dakota
lave never embraced the populists,
For have the ~populists embraced the
democrats. Those who call themselves
free silver republicans profess to have
no sympathy with the populists and
democrats except upon the silver issue,
but the thre parties have asreed to pre-
sent a joint ticket. They only want to
control the congressman and the seven
other Offices Of the state, rather than to
follow out the science Of government.
Let each of the voters inquire for
himself, wherein am l to be benefited
by this?' The science Of politics Is Of
no concern or value to the majority of
the followers Of the three parties, but
the chief aim Is the destruction Of the
republican party. Let us consider: Peo-
pie are told that the questions which
have been under discussion are no
longer at issue. l believe 1t is largely
true, and the silver and tariff questions
have scarcely been mentioned IN the
ca st side of the river this fall. But our
senior senator still denies that the sill
yer Issue is a dead issue. Just as we
claim that the tariff with which the
money question Is closely allied, Is
still an issue. Two years ago we elect
ed a president upon the issues of the
tariff and silver. / believe the will OF
the people upon those issues remains
unchanged. .
II will discuss briefly the question Of
tie free coinage of silver. The time has

That Joint discussion proposition OF
the "free silver forces has been the
means Of creating much laughter in
Lead, during the past two days, and
Mr.. Redlon probably wishes his fool
friends had let him alone. But then the
republican managers came to his res
cue and very considerably treated the
challenge as a joke. which was the
means of letting him out Of the trouble
for which he is no doubt very thank
full.

annual deficit under the existing re-
publican administration u revenue
laws produce a surplus upon a peace
basis Of expenses. But that Is not all.
Never in all our history, have we
known such a foreign trade. Our ex-
ports for the current year will reach
the enormous sum of $1,000, 900, 900.
Our imports will be $500, 000, 900, SO
that the balance of trade will be in our
favor 5000, 600, 900; think OF It; each
working day of the year web ave sold
abroad $1,000, 900 worth more than We
have bought. Without losing or di-
minishing our home market, We have
AT last realized-and that by way OF
the protective systematic democratic
dream, possession of the markets of
the world; web ave ben for some time.
to some extent, its granary, but never
to the same extent as now. We are
exporting three time as much bread
stuffs as in 1896. The total for the last
ten months Is 500, 000, 900 worth great
er than for the corresponding period
of last year. But 1t Is not bread stuffs
a,one, but manufactures Of all kinds,
thep roducts OF American labor and
American skill, that enter into our ex-
ports. Steel rails to Canada, to Aus
tralia, to India and Japan; iron and
steel, crude and manufactured, to Eng
land and Scotland and the continent;
locomotives, electrical appliances, ag-
ricultural implementS-Why attempt to
enumerate-all the various multiplied
products Of the endless resources Of the
material and labor Of the great and
growing republic. We are even build
ing battle ships for both Europe and
Asia and they would who would have
the finest armour plate and copy the
machinery that makes 1t, must seek
both in this country. A prominent
democrat at the bankers convention in
Denver recently, said: "The promise OF
experimental the country which
a produce iron and steel at the low
est cost will control and dominate the
commerce Of the worlds awaiting
us, now that Alabama Is debating the
price OF pig iron and Pennsylvania is
fixing the price Of steel. We hold now
three of the winninw cards in the game
for commercial greatness, iron, steel
and coal" Railroad receivers are be-
Ing dismissed; railroad yards are no
longer stored with unused cars; rail
road companies are carrying to the ut
most OF their capacity, and rail road
business Is, you know, the pulse OF
trade.

BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.

Our recent war with Spain has
brought about a complete change In
our affairs, both foreign and domestic.
H. will result in a different arrange
ment in our raising of revenues to meet
the expenses of the government, and
also to enable us as a nation to reach
out into the future along the lines Of
progress and advancement. These new
conditions will cause the problem of
'lXation to be extremely difficult. 1t
will call for Americas best wisdom,
Shrewdest courage, and truest patriot
ism to settle these difficult problems.
Tt the republican party we must look
for all these, for that party has always
been able to grappel with the greatest
questions Of the past and by their sue
Cessful salutiOn the republic was en-
allied to make giant strides on the
march OF progress and easily held its
own with the old countries Of the
world. While we have nothing but the
highest respect for every democrat in
dividually and believe him to be hon
est and patriotic, yet we have no conf
dence or faith in the democratic party
as a party, for it is known as a party
of dead issues and OF disgraced doc
trines, an unprogressive party, a party
chat pitches its tents in the shadowy
wales of narrowness and ~sectionalism
where the deadly miasma OF discomfort
and incompetency prevails. No. No, the
hope Of our future glory lies In the re-
publican party for on It's bright banner
In all the magic word Of victory has
been emblazoned. It's camp has always
been on the hill tops Of progress, and
Its camp fires In the darkest and
gloomlest nights Of through which our
nation has passed, cleaned like stars
to guide the people cropping In dakness
to the way of light, Of glory, of pros
perity and happiness. Then to this old
party let the future of our country be
entrusted for it will lguide the old ship
or state to q haven OF safety.
Truly, President Mckinley Is the
soldiers friend. He was one Of them.
He suffered untold hardships that the
Union might live. With knapsack ON
his back and musket in his hand he
trod wars crimson highway. He drank
black coffee and ate bareback, stood
picket duty in the rain and snow, he
trudged and marched along In the mud,
slept on the ground with his comrades,
and performed the duties Of army life,
all for his country which he so dearly
loved. Yes, old veterans, he was one Of
you. Stand by him and his splendid ad-
ministration. Hold up his hands.
strengthen him in his noble efforts to
guide the old ship Of state through the
waters of the future so that our great
country may prosper more and more as
the years are lost In the eons Of time.

Mistaken Impression.

There is an article going the rounds
of the state press to. the effect that the
water in Devils lake has fallen nine
feet in eight years and that it never
commenced to fall until the artesian
wells were bored in the Red and James
river valleys. It is therefore theorized
that the water of the lake finds an out
let through the artesian wells. AS a
matter of fact, and the INTER-O OCEAN
has for authority people who have
lived near the lake for more than
thirty years, the waters of the lake
commenced to recede long before there
we're any artesian wells in either North
or South Dakota. II wa much higher
when the Fort Tottea Indian agency
was established, in the early part Of
go s, than it has ever been since, but
there is a tradition that a mum Der
of years before that time there
was much less water in the lake than
there is now. The lake is fed entirely
by surface water and a wet season has
been known to cause it to rise sew eral
feet during the summer months. A
dry season has the opposite effect.
There is no reason to believe that the
water from Devils lake finds an outlet
through any of the artesian wells.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 2O.-Recently one
Mrs. Northey was granted a divorce
from Louis Reginald Northey, of Auck-
land, New Zealand. She has published
a card in a local paper roasting her
attorney for overcharge, alleging that
he insisted on being paid a fee of 81
500 and attached her bank account
here for settlement. It has now de-
veloped that the fee was only $500, and
that all the expenses of the action, in
Guiding carriage hire for the plaintiff,
was included in that amount. Mrs.
Northey is an English woman and her
New Zealand hubby was accused of de-
sorting her after two consecutive
months of welded bliss. She is a we'll
known English musician and her stage
name is O'Moore. She is accredited
with having s15,O 00 worth of diamonds,
presents from English royalty. She
is a charming lady and very handsome.

Interesting Relic.

Alpheus M. jerks, of this county,
has in his possession a Masonic relic
of nc little interest to the fraternity.
1t is a Masonic apron which belonged
to his mothers grandfather, Charles
Redpath, a Scotchman who emigrated
to this country about the time of the
revolutionary "a The apron is 128
years old. 1t is of silk and imprinted
upon its surface are a number of
Masonic emblems. The apron is quite
fragile and shows evidence of age. Mr..
jerks is not a Mason himself and
knows but little Of his great grand
fathers Masonic history, but takes
great pride in this relic and has had it
on exhibition in many of the Masonic
lodges in Indiana, where he comes
from.

TIE Nelson County Herald, which is
very friendly to Congressman johnson
and an advocate of his election to the
United States senate, places his
strength in a Republican caucus, if one
should be held this winter, at forty
two votes. This is a majority of the
caucus and within five of enough votes
toelect. The Bismarck Tribune, which
is, with the exception Of Senator Mar
shallis Dickey county organ, practi-
cally the only Republican paper in the
state openly opposed to Mr.. johnson,
estimates that the latter will not have
to exceed twenty-five votes in the eau.
GUS. And this, by the way, is a con-
siderable increase on the estimates
furnished from the same quarter in
the early part of the campaign. Be-
tween these two extremes-the estl-
mates Of the Herald and Of the Tri-
bune-it is probably fair to figure that
at the present time Mr.. johnson has
the support Of thirty or thirty-fve OF
the Republican members Of the legis.
lature and If given a fair sbow.in the
caucus will eventually secure the
nomination. On the other hand the
desperate and determined character OF
the opposition must not be forgotten
or overlooked. It is not a secret in
North Dakota politics that MI. John.
son was fairly nominated by the eau.
ems In 1880 which afterwards selected
Mr.. Casey, and that he was chiseled
ont OF the nomination by methods
which, may be repeated this winter
The situation is evidently full of dan
gerto Mr.. johnson, aud his friends
must be very loyal and steadfast tt
succeedin securing for him the coveted
senatorship.

Handbook of the Tariff,

The understanding of the compli-
Gated provisions of the new tariff has
been greatly simplified by the issuance
of this manual. To digest the tariff
law is no easy task, but 70 digest the
food taken into the gastric receptacle
is rendered easy by the use of that
thorough stomachic, Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bitters. 1t prevents and cures
malarial ,kidneyand rheumatic trouble,
remedies nervousness and insomnia.
and removes constipation and bilious
ness. Appetite, as we'll as the ability
to satisfy it without subsequent alb
dominal disturbance, is restored by
this fine stomachic, which also accele-
rates convalescence. Persons in the
decline of life, and the inirm of every
age and sex, find it of material assist
ance.
