Their Use Becoming Altogether Too Com.
mon in Logging Camps.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. -Solicitor
Maurice D. O'Connell of the treasury,
has rendered a decision in which he
holds that the manufacture and dis.
tribution Of aluminium and brass trade
checks, constitutes a violation OF the
statute enacted February, 1891, which
prohibits the manufacture Of a metal
or its compound, which in color, de.
sign Or inscription resembles coin Of
the government. These ''trade checks"
distributed largely by extensive houses,
have attained such a circulation among
the small towns and logging camps of
Wisconsin,, Minnesota and Michigan
that ii is difficult OBSCURE real money.
In fact it is said at the treasury that
contractors at logging camps who own
the stores at which the inhabitants Sc.
cure the n~ecessaries of life, have in.
augurated the system Of paying their
employees with these checks to the ex.
cluslon Of government money. Fed.
eral inspectors in these districts will be
instructed to seize all illegal coins and
warn distributors against manufactur.
ing the ''trade checks" If they per.
slst in manufacturing and distributing
them they will be vigorously prose.

Peoples Party PLATFORM.

feOple = f8rty FlatfCrm.
Following is the platform adopted by
the Peoples Party convention Of South
Dakota, at Aberdeen, June %, 1898:
The Peoples Party OF South Dakota
triumphantly reaftirms its allegiance to
the fundamental principles enunciated
in the Omaha and st. Louis platforms
We distinctly reatfirm our position in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver at the ratio of 16 to / and our
unalterable opposition to the issue of
interest bearing bonds in time of peace
or war.
We are opposed to banks of issue and
in favor of the issue of all money direct
by the government.
We demand the passage of the free
homes bill and condemn the opposition
is that measure by the national Reput-
lican managers, and their failure to re-
deem this pledge in the st. Louis plat.
form. We approve of the war now being
waged il behalf Of the oppressed people
OF Cuba and the Philippines and demand
its energetic prosecution and that it be
terminated as quickly as possible after
the purpose for which it was inaugur.
ated shall have been accomplished.
We denounce the Infamous policy of
government by injunction fostered by
the federal courts and we demand the
election of such courts by the direct vote
OF the people for a stated term.
We regard the life terms system in our
federal judiciary as subversive of liberty
and We demand the election of members
OF the United States supreme court for
stated terms by direct vote OF the peo-
pie.
State Issues-l. No people can be
free who are denied the right to vote yes
and no on every law to which they are
subject and we therefore favor the init
alive and referendum as the only meas
ure by which majority rule can be Sc
cured.
2. We are firmly committed to the
public ownership Of natural monopolies
ard we favor an amendment to the con-
stitution permitting the state to engage
in public works.
3. We favor the repeal of the so.
called fellow servant statute and the en-
actment of legislation making employers
liable for injuries received by their en-.
ployes while in tie discharge of their
immediate duty, when injuries received
are directly traceable to the negligence
OF employers or fellow servants.
4. We believe in fostering the insti.
tutions OF the state and insist that
county and state supplies should be
purchased from home producers.
5. We are opposed to the employment
OF convict labor in competition with free
labor except to such an extent as may
be necessary to preserve the health of
convicts and maintain the institution in
which they are incarcerated.
6. We demand an equitable tax upon
the franchises and property of railroad
and other corporations and we condemn
the majority of the state board of equal.

property on the same basis as that Of
the citizens of the state.

II IS SHAMEFUL NEGLECT
U G TO Be CORRECTED


One Of h most pitiful sights, and
an evil that certainly ought to be cor
rected. II that of poorly shod horses
struggling with a heavy load. The con-
dition Of the streets in this city In OF
such . character that the sharpest OF
caIks are necessary. Under h light
covering OF snow, there is q sheet OF
solid ice. as slippery as glass. Horses
without sharp calks can gain but little
foothold in h Ice.
For the past two days the permitting
of horses to 60 without proper shoes
prevailed t. q shameful degree. On
nearly every street the >poor animals
may be seen struggling forward, at
tached to q wagon or trucG laden with
wood or coal or other heavy merchan-
disc. The horses do their best, but be-
ing unable to obtain q foothold. they
slip n slide and stagger this way and
that. Inc II generally takes q team
twice as long to traverse the distance
Of q block as II would II their feet were
provided with proper shields. For their
inability to draw h heavy q they
are piled with the heavy whip by a
cruel driver. No matter how hard they
try. their efforts meet with nothing but
curses and blows. The poor animals
have shoes on their hoofs which are
worn as smooth as he runners OF a
skate: they are worse than no shoes at
all. The toe calks are completely worn
out and h rim of iron Is SO

get the slightest purchase" on the
slippery ice.
Several gentlemen stood on a Park
avenue sidewalk yesterday and watch

mere rims of smooth ron The horses

showing that at least they were well
looked after in the stable. The wagon
which they drew was laden with only a
mall quantity of coal. but struggle as
they would the animals were able to
draw II along only at a snairs pace.
Had they had calks o m their shoes they
could easily have drawn the light load
on q. trot. AS twas, however, first n
would slip and then the other. First
their forefeet and next their hind feet.
1t seems strange that teamsters who
value the animals who earn their daily
bread for them should permit their
horses for even a single day to 30 with
out being rough shod upon such Ice
covered roads as now exist. A horse
certainly uses up In an unprohtable ex-
penditure Of energy as much as would
an invention in the horseshoe line
which could easily be applied. 1t Is a
sharp calk which can be screwed into
the shoe or taken out at will. They are
practically inexpensive when compared
to the ruin which ONE to horses by
the neglect of owners to properly shoe
them.

slight matter in some peoples opinions.
but Il means much to the teamster who
