A BAD PARTY.

The present party masquerading un.
der the name, Republican" is not the
Republican party of Lincoln and Grant,
Garfield and Blaine. That party was
called into power to free human chat
tells; the gold bug party has abandoned
even that principle. When the annex.
alton of Hawaii was voted upon in the
senate, Senator Pet,igrew proposed a
resolution abolishing contract labor.
Every Republican senator voted against
the resolution, thus endorsing practical
human slavery where the lash is ap-
piled just as freely as on any southern
plantation under the most brutal task
master. The Republican party has
abandoned it's much vaunted champion
ship of American labor; it's having
voted to admit not only pauper labor,
but, free labor, but slave labor in COM
petition with American labor, under
the American flag. 1t stood solidly in
favor of the degradation of American
labor. The old Republican party fav-
ored greenbacks as safe, stable and
convenient form of currency; now the
party favors interest bearing bank
notes. The Republican party once fav-
ored free and unlimited coinage of sill.
yer at the ratio of IS to l.; now that
party declares unalterable hostility to
silver coinage and declares itself in
favor of gold because it is dearer mon
ey than silver. Blaine, Garfield, Sher-
man, Mckinley, Harrison and Reed de-
c1ared such principles destructive of
the interests of the masses of the peo-
pie; now Mckinley and Hanna declare
such principles as binding to sustain
national honor. They ask the Ameri-
can people to tax themselves rich; to
get out of debt by increasing their
debts; to maintain national honor by
allowing the bondholders to repudiate
their contracts.
Such are the principles of the latter
day Republican party. Is it any won
der that men are abandoning it daily?
Can an honest man who understands
the principles of the Republican party
today, support it?-Deadwood Inde-
pendent.

CANTON. SOUTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER
THE MACHINE AND RAILROADS

THE MACHINE AND ORA1LHOADS
The attitude Of the Republican ma
chine in this state toward the railroads
is easily understood on consideration
of the record made by Republican state
officials in the matter of assessing the
property Of railroads for taxation. Of
the members of the state board of
equalization and assessment five of the
seven are Republicans. Governor Lee
stood practically alone in making q
fight for the people at the time the
railroad assessment was fixed for this
year.
When the board met to make the as
sessment there was before it for con-
sideration affidavits of the railroad Of
ficials showing that they value their
lines in this state at from $4,000 to
$19, 900 per mile. These affidavits were
made in cases where the railroads
sought to justify their rates on freight
and passenger service in the state.
There were petitions before the board
from sixteen counties asking that the
railroad property be assessed at not less
than 81, 600 per mile, which, in view Of
the assessment of farm property at
from half to two-thirds its actual value
and in some cases for as much as it
would bring in the market and the fact
that personal property is assessed gen.
orally at from one-third its value to it's
full value, was very modest and
proper demand from the people upon
their chosen officials.
Instead of considering these petitions
and affidavits at their worth the board
resorted to tactics intended to discredit
the petitions and completely ignored
the af6davits. The property was as
sessed at from g, 400 to $4,000 per mile,
the Republican members voting solidly
against any raise to fair assessment.
Governor Lee protested against this
low assessment and sought to have both
the petitions and the afidavits recog-
nized. The sworn statements of rail
road officials were ignored and the pc
titions Of the people treated with con-
tempt. The principle was recognized
that the railroad companies have a
right to one valuation for purposes of
fixing rates and another for purposes of
fixing taxes.
Had q majority of the board been
composed Of paid attorneys and agents
of the railroad corporations it could
not have better served the railroad
companies in the matter of assessments
Not only does the machine control in
Republican politics in South Dakota
but it controls in the interest of the
railroads. The rights of the people are
not considered at all, justice is blinded,
the machine is for q purpose and its
managers adhere rigidly to that pur-
pose. The voters of the state owe q
duty to themselves to see that the board
of equalization and assessment is not
next year ready to do the bidding of
the machine. Sioux Falls Press.

A HORSE DOCTOR FOR voLUN-
TEERS.

Several days ago the World Herald,
in dispatch from Indianapolis, printed
an interview with Rev. DR.. Christensen,
chaplain of the One Hundred and Fifty
eighth Indiana regiment, and rector Of
St. Paul's Episcopal church at Indian
apolis. In that interview Chaplain
Christensen severely criticised hospital
conditions at Camp Thomas, and,
among other things, said: when we
went to Chickamhuga, we found our
corps surgeon, the man who was the
general in chief of the medical service
of 25, 900 men, was a veterinary sur
geon."
Although the war department has
rebuked Chaplain Christensen, the
chaplain persists in sticking to his text,
and further investigation only goes to
corroborate the chaplain's statement.
The corps surgeon to whom Chaplain
Christensen referred was . Doctor" R. s.
Huidekoper of New York.
The Cincinnati Enquirer made an
investigation, and has obtained Huide-
koper's professional card as it was at
the time he was placed in charge Of the
medical service of rs, 600 human beings
The card is as follows:

A CLOSE CALL.

MIR. Levi S. Pennell of the Republican
city committee, was working at his desk
few days ago, and his attention being
attracted by an odor of smoke, Re made
an investigation. He found that a blazg
had started in the waste basket. beneath
the desk, had burned up quite distanoe
ON one leg of his trousers and haG burned
deeply into the foot. His failure, to earl,.
or discover the fire is accounted for by
the fact that the foot which happened
to be nearest the basket ami to which
the flames communicated is al artificial
one. In extinguishing the flames nno,,
his clothing Mr., Penneh had one of i HI =
hands soorched quite severely. -'-s

poRTLAND's COMPETITORS.
Dock Laborers at ST. John Willing to Make
Concession.

A despatch from St. John to the Mon
John arel willingsssto work at the same
rates as are PAID at the steamer docks in
Portland. The despatch adds:
"The members Of the st. John Ship
Laborers' society say they are all anxious
to meet the steamship men on terms
calculated to develop the winter trade Of
this port and have made liberal conces-
sions in that direction. The matter is
parties. What the society strongly con-
tends for is that Portland, Me-, and not
the port of Montreal is the great competi-
tive point which ST. John has to contend
with for the winter export and import
trade of the Dominion, and the laborers
are willing, they say, to do their part in
handling freight here as cheaply as it is
done at Portland. In only one item has
an advance over last years agreement
been asked for by them, and that is in
regard to the pay of grain trimmers,
which they want placed at the same fig.
ure as is paid by steamships loaded at
Portland. The ship lsborers one and all
Indignantly deny the charge that they are
attempting to dictate to the steamship
owners, and look for settlement of the
whole matter on terms satisfactory to
both parties. While the alien labor law.
which was put in force against steamship
men when they attempted to bring Cana
dian laborers to Portland, is not opera.
tive here, the secretary significantly
points to the fnct that there Is a stiff
city tax on all non-residents who come
here to do work Of any knd."
President James o. DonneL of the Port
land Longshoremen's Benevolent society
was seen Saturday by reporter and in
formed of the situation at St. John.
"Ihis DOESN'T effect us any," said Presi-
dent O'Donnell. "We have ALWAYS
worked in cooperation with the steve
dores here and have never had the least
trouble. By the rules of our organization
we always try to work in harmony with
the stevedores who have always acted
like gentlemen to us. -
Daniel j. Leonard, prominent mem
Der of the order, also stated that anv
trouble at st. John would not effect the
Portland longshoremen. Mr.. Leonard
said that grain trimmers were paid 40
cents an hour here.

SUNDAY GOLF PLAYERS.
They Encountered Hazard Not on the
Links and VIII Not Tee the Ball.

The chancss that the deyotees of the
oan,e Of Golf will be found on the links
today chasing the elusive ball from one
hole to another are not good. Some of
ti,a mem bers of the Portland club havs
heen in the habit of playing little on
Sunday but the authorities of the town
of South Portland in which the links are
situated regard the game as coming an
der the head of such diversions as are
prohibited by Statute on the Lords day.
II has already been announced in papers
that Trial Justice McManus of South
Portland had warning that offenders
would be dealt with in the Temple of
Justice over which he presides, and Sat
urday he informed q PRESS reporter
than any golfers who had the termerity
to set at naught the decree of the court
would find themselves in charge of one
Of its officers. Action in regard to the
playing of the game on Sunday was
first taken by the Rev. NJ. Mains, who
lives in the vicinity and who explained
to some OF the memb berg of the club that
if the people of the vicinity allowed the
golfers to follow their. favorite diversion
on Sundays, they would be powerless
to stop other and noisier games. The
Sunday golf players took the ground
that while they nj light be guilty OF a vio-
lation OF the statute, they played on their
own grounds, far removed from the viii
lage, that the game was not accompanied
by noise, and in short, that 1t would not
disturb nybody. 1t is understood that
these views have been presented to Mr..
Mains recently, but that he does not feel
that he can relinquish his opposition to
the game, the playing of which on Sum
day he believes should not be permitted.
Last Sunday a constable visited the
links. but took no action. 1t is said that
somebody told him that he should make
sure that the lay against diversions in
cluded golf and that it SO impressed him
that be left in order to find out what
powers he had in the premises. Justice
McManus, while he does not claim to
know a tee from bunker, or to be able
to tell whether or not ball is stymie,
has no doubt of the power of his court to
stop the game on Sunday, He caused
the warning to be given that the play
ing must stop and Saturday, in deciding
the case of some youths VINO were arrest
ed as the result of some foot ball practice
on the Lords day, the justice told them
that they had Mortified the religious sense
of the community, indicating that he
should see that it was not again horri-
fed. The case of the football players is
reported on another page of this issue.
