Senator PeItigreW said at til

Senator PeItigreW said at the
the Union convention recently
held at MITCHELL: "The man who
will accept an election at the
hands of a party and then aband-
on the principles Of that party is
unworthy Of confidence. A man
may escape the tortures OF hell
for betraying private interests,
but not if he betrays political
principles. These remarks are
note worthy, not becausethey pro-
ceed from the mouth of Mr.. Petit
grew, but because the convention
cheered them to the echo. The
applause meant an endorsement
of the position and was notice to
the nominees Of the convention
that they are expected to stand
for the principles enunciated for
their guidance.
A careful scrutiny Of the
Mitchell platform is in order,
therefore, for every voter who
believes that candidates are
named to represent principles
and are not put forward merely
that this man or another shall
fill official position and draw sal
/ ary from the public treasury

1t is admitted on all sides that
South Dakota has made wonder
ful progress in financial way
during the past three years.
Mortgages on the farms have
been raised; farm stock and i'm
plements, which used to be
secured" for all they were
| worth, are generally free from
incumbrance; new buildings dot
the prairies in every direction;
deposits in the banks are the
largest in the history of the
state; fresh paint is everywhere
in evidence in the towns and vii
lages; new business houses are
being erected at every railroad
station; the people take pride in
their state as never before. And
this very feeling of state pride
and confidence in the future is
bound to play an important part
in the next months election
People of an independent turn of
mind will think seriously before
doing anything that will tend to
place their state in the position
Kansas occupied while it was
under control of party and a
set Of politicians that made it the
laughing stock of the union.
They will not want to do any
thing that in general estimation
will give their state "black
eye They a~e more likely to
make such disposition Of their
votes as will constitute notice to
the outside world that South
Dakota is done with experiment
tation, with wild dreams Of
making its people rich by legis
lative enactment and the over
riding of the law. They cannot
be wheedled into declaring next
month that unless they are given
the free coinage of silver at the
ratio Of Is to /, for instance,
their children will be driven to
the poor house and themselves
to perdition. They have found
out during the past three years
that such cries are false, and
with the advancement they have
made they will look upon them
as slurs on the resources of a
state that is rapidly growing
rich. A few years ago South
Dakota was regarded with sus
picion and distrust, due to the
fact that large percentage of
its inhabitants, beguiled by false
leadership, proclaimed to the
world they We're hopelessly in
volved and that poverty and
destitutlon stall1ed everywhere.
This cry has been stopped.
Every man capable Of perform
ing work is improving his condi-
ton and takes sufficient pride in
the fact to let the peo ole of othe
states know it. In consequence
outside sentiment has complete
: ly changed. People who &C
: abroad are proud to register
from South Dakota. and every
where find persons eager for i'm
formation relative to the state s
resources. This favorable i'm
preston can easily be removed

Some WatertoWn people have
been making an incursion into
Grant county in the interests of
Judge Bennett and the fusion
candidates for the supreme
bench. One Of their main argu-
ments is that Mr.. Bennett is a
WatertoWn man and should
therefore receive the votes of
this locality. The republican
who allows this kind Of an argu-
ment to have any effect upon
him is certainly not posted. as it
is generally admitted that Water
town and Codington county have
generally been pretty well looked
after and provided for by it's
statesman in the past. The
matter of locality should cut no
figure whatever in the selection
of supreme court judges, and as
the present court is composed OF
competent and upright jurists,
there is not the semblance Of q
reason for any republican tC
throw his vote against his own
party principles and in favor Of
the conglomeration Of ideas rep
resented by the democratic OF
fusion party as at present or
ganized.

Rev. Nathan A. Swickard, D. D.,
of Aberdeen is well worth the
careful perusal Of our readers:
The campaign of 1900 will be
more definitely along moral lines
than any proceeding. The plain
people, as the masses of our
citizenship are called, have been
educating themselves. Less
slavish following of party die
tation will result in a correspond
ing higher leadership. No man
who purposes representing the
people in state or nation can at
ford to ignore the ethical aspects
Of any great question. The
founders of our nation were
christians. They heard God S
! voice bidding them be free; and
| they honored Him by remember
ing the Sabbath, "to keep it
holy Hence, the spirit of our
institutions is essentially chris
tian and in the increasing precep
ton Of this fact lies thehopeo ofou1
perpetuation. AS expressed by
our martyred Lincoln, it is ol
supreme Importance to be or
God S side.
Sabbath observance is no long
er considered a mere religious
sentiment, but rather wise re
cognition of the relation of the
Sabbath to that NATIONAL right
eousness which every goo(
citizen must desire. Therefor,
it is matter Of congratulatior
to every citizen Of this republic
that its leaders, those who are il

Strange story OF a Double Life.

The arrest at Manchester, n. H.. of
Walter f. Dealand, who is charged with
committing many burglaries, has revealed
having "Jekyll and Hyde" history Of the
most astonishing character. He is regis
tered as a 'jeweller,' but has no regular
place of business, having been going about
from house to house repairing clocks and
watches. He has lived for several years
with his wife and child in a fine house,
which he owns, on Hanover street, Wilson
Hill, highly respectable residential sec
tson of the city, and his neighbors have al
ways regarded him as a respectable person
His arrest has caused great sensation in
that locality.
For some time past complaints of house
breaking and robbery have been frequent at
police headquarters, and the officers had
been unable TO locate the thieves until last
week. Monday night three houses were
broken into and several hundred dollars in
money stolen, together with watches and
jewelry.
In some of these cases, as well as in num-
erous breaks previously reported, the police
learned that a watch repairer had called at
the houses on the days of the breaks. Dealand
had left his business card at one of the houses
entered Monday, and this card caused his
arrest. He has admitted to the police that
he committed several of the robberies, and
much of the plumber was found buried in
the cellar of his house on Wilson Hill
He was arraigned on two charges oil
breaking and entering and held in $4,000
bail.

A Georgia Grasshopper story.

A despatch from New Man, Ga, dated
Sunday, says;-Millions of grasshoppers
fell in showers throughout wide section
in this part of the state last night The
insects came down like hail, and many
pers ons were awakened by the patter of
them against the window panes and on the
roofs. In many places the ground was
covered with grasshoppers, some of them
of great size. The unwelcome visitors
soon spread over the farms, playing havoc
with everything in the fields. Reports
from every town between here and West
point, distance of about so miles, say
there was rain of hoppers during the
night In many places the insects swarm
ed in residences, and made life uncomfort-
able for the housewives. 1t is supposed
that they were blown eastward from
Texas by the wind.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Wild SpeculatiOns

And other Startling Facts In COnnec-
ton with the CIsremOnt National
Bank Brought 10 Light I'm the Hear
ing OF a Case Against ex-CashIer Geo.
N. FRrwell.
A hearing was held at Claremont last
week in the case brought by the officers of
the Claremont National bank against Geo.
N Farwell who was cashier of the above
institution several years, for the recovery
of several thousand dollars of the bank 8
funds alleged to have been appropriated
by said cashier during the time he was an
official of that corporation
The Claremont Eagle says the allegations
as set forth in the banks findings are to the
effect that Mr. Farwell used the bank funds
for the purpose of speculation and that he
with others incurred losses in the West that
should have fallen on himself and others,
rather than on the bank 1t is also said
that he took thousands of dollars from the
banks vault and placed therein as security,
paper that was worthless. He also main
tanned bogus business in the West, doing
business as a corporate body, when in
reality not one dollars worth of the stock
subscribed was ever paid in and the funds
used for loans were taken from the Clare.
mont National bank and forwarded to the
agent in the West.
Many thousands of dollars of the bank g
money we're used in this and other wildcat
speculations by this same bank official, and
for the offence against the governmental
and state laws, he has been let 90 until the
matter was opened up by the present bank
officials, and during his visit here last yea
he was arrested on a civil suit and bail fur
nished by his aunt and cousin, Mrs. Susan
and Sarah Breck, in the sum of $4,000.
Since this little episode Mr. Farwel has
fought shy of the town and has kept out of
the state, for what reasons will be shown
as time goes on.
The hearing before the referee was Of a
nature to tire out the most patient being,
but the facts brought TO light are of a
startling character to those not acquainted
with the methods practiced by the Farwell
regime.
The facts go to show that some of the
money of the bank was used for private
gains and not even the directors consulted
in the matter. II cash was wanted any
old paper was sufficient TO get it, for pos
session was seven -eighths Of the law.
The Farwels considered that they were
the great fnanciers of the day and what
ever they did in financial way would re-
dound ito their everlasting credit. They
pulled in the shekles right and left and in
vested carelessly and without regard to
the consequences.
When the hard times began to pinch
them they we're forced to show their hands
and the revelation was most startling.

Man a Habitual Liar.
Excessive Use OF suPerIstIves DIstOrts
All His Statements of Fact.

Excessive Use of superIstIves DIstorts
All His Statements of Fact.
"Through its emphasis of the superla-
tive our age is in danger of losing all
power to tell the truth" writes Rev. New
ell Dwight Hills, d. D., of "The Diffusion
of Happiness Through Conversation, In
the August Ladies' Home Journal. "The
modern collegan has reached such state
of culture that the positive and compare
tive degrees are unknown. 1t is no long
er possible for the schoolgirl to find either
an adjective or an adverb 10 express her
ecstacy of feeling. Abstinence and so
briefly in speech are rapidly passing away.
"David Swing once expressed the fear
that through excess in the use of adiectives
our generation would lose all sense of pro-
portion and symmetry in the statement of
facts. He noted that the adjectives most
loved by our age are in themselves gross
exaggerations. In studying the history of
language he found that very early men be-
gan to say that the sun went down in a
bed of gold; the moon turned all things to
silver; the eye darted forth flames; the
face was brighter than the sun Having
used such expressions for 20 years man
awakens to find himself a habitual liar
We must also note that the modern school
of wit does not deal in the pure, delicate
humOr of Sydney Smith or Charles Lamb,
but for its effects depends upon gross ex-
aggerations and word-pilings. Thus, not
only the playground and schoolroom, but
papers and books also, through extrava-
gance, are teaching men to strain language
to the very uttermost. In literature that
style is best which has most abstinence,
forswearing adjectives and adverbs, and
dealing in the simplicities. That charac-
ter also is finest which is simple, and
founded on frankness and truthfulness."
