STOPPED AT YANKToN.
Enthusiasm of Country People Knew
No Bounds.

Yankton. S. D.. Oct 14-Presldent Nc
Kinley and party embarked from the spe-
cial train here tonight at 1870 O'Clock.
Despite the lateness of the hour nearly 10,
eco peop,e greeted the chief executive.
Excursion trains during the day had
brought in several thousand country folk,
and their enthusiasm knew no bounds as
the President and his cabinet were driven
up town. After the spanking was Lonciud-
ed, the President was driven 10 the tram
and left shortly after II o clock fer Sioux
City, Ia.
During the course of his remarks at this
place the President said:
i received the other day a letter from
most distinguished officer now engaged
in active duty in the Philippines. Ii is a
letter dated Manila, Aug. 20, 1899 and
want TO read one or two extracts from 1t,
am confident that if we would with
draw our army now Aguinaldo could not
mold himself in power without carrying on
warfare against other tribes, and this
would cause a constant warfare and tur-
mol for years. OF course, there would be
looting of cities and Selling and destruc-
ton of property and the business people
and property holders would apply to some
strong government to restore order. Foi
us to Withdraw OUT army now would be
criminal and for such an action we would
be arraigned and denounced by the civ
iized nations of the earth.
AN idea seems to be prevalent in the
United States that this is an unhealthy
country and that white men cannot live
here Thislis a great mistake. There is
also an impression that to retain these ISL
auds would be a burden to our country
That these views are errors should be i'm
pressed upon the American people,
you may ask, my fellow citizens. who
is the author of this letter. 1 answer you
that it is from a gallant soldier, a great
cavalry leader of the Confederate army
one of the heroes of Santiago in our recent
war, and for eighteen years a member Of
Congress from the state of Alabama

NEW YORK AND THE coUNTRYMAN.
Important Discovery Made by Goth
antics on n Great Occasion.
FROM de New York Times.

From the New York Times.
New York made a discovery during Dew
ey week. Once or twice before it has hap
pened that the metropolis has been led to
suspect the existence of standards and
ideas other than its own, and while this
impression is doubtless transitory, it is
good for New York all the same. The
thing which startled some of the inhabl-
tants of the city out of their customary
attitude of unconscious superiority was
the fact that comparatively few of the
multitude of visitors from the rural dis
tricts talked in dialect. II had been ex-
pected that during the few days which
Dewey spent in town there would be
crowds and crowds of people of the Uncle
Josh Whitcomb and David Harum type
people who would go about open-mouthed
and gawky, asking idiotic questions and
calculating, "Naow, dew tell!' But moth
rag of the sort happened. New York was
cheated out of that part of its show and
has been wondering ever since what was
the reason.
IL is not at all necessary TO infer from
this little circumstance that the farmer
folk of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sew and Western New England have so
tend the Dewey celebration at all They
were there, by the thousands and tens of
thousands, and undoubtedly most had new
er been so far away from home before
Perhaps, TO more than half of them, the
county seat ten or twelve miles from their
homes had given them their only expert
ence of urban life. But they did not find
1t necessary, on that account, 10 carry green
cotton umbrellas and carpet-bags, nor did
they wear Clothes cut and made at home.
They simply melted into the crowd, like
any other Americans, and kept whatever
establishment they may have felt TO them
selves.
Some one has remarked that, outside of
a novel, the population of a village does
not stare with open-mouthed awe at the
city boarder. 1t may be added that the
farmer frequently understands the city
visitor considerably better than the visitor
understands him. What is true Of these
two classes of people is true OF city and
country populations in general. The
farmer can so to town and pick UP its

MAY CONVICT A DOZEN
On the Evidence Already in in the
Hamlet Case.

Atlanta, Oct 1.-The Court of In
quiry held a short session at the capitol
tonight and CLEANED considerable addi-
tional information concerning the Hamlet
hooters. The court has accumulated evil
dence enough to convict dozen of the
men. and has also secured some of the
stolen articles.
Some of the men went about the loot
ing with accentuated perversity, and,
when demonstrated with, admonished the
dissuaders to mind their own business.
The court viii meet again Tuesday night.
1t expects to close up its work then, and
the papers will be in the Governors hands
by Wednesday or Thursday. Both officers
and men freely testified 10 the court con-
corning facts within their knowledge and
this made the work of the court anything
but arduous. There are about thirty more
men to be examined.

Crowd at southampton Was Wildly
Enthusiastic

Southampton, England, Oct. 1.-THE ar
rival and embarkation of Gen. Sir Redvers
Butler, commander-in-chief of the Brit
ish forces in the Transvaal. was the oc-
casion for scene of fratstic enthusiasm.
Thousands of townspeople and visitors
swarmed near the quay, where the Mayor
of Southampton welcomed Gen. Butler
amid deafening cheers and the waving Of
handkerchief, hats and walking sticks.
Sir Redvers smilingly acknowledged the
demonstration and went Immediately on
board the steamer, entering the Captains
cabin, where he bade farewell to Lady
Butler and his daughter.
When the Dunottar Castle sailed with
Gen Butler and the others standing on
her deck, the crowd cheered themselves
hoarse and sang God Save the Queen
as the vessel glided out of the dock.

WAYS and manners much more quickly
than the born city-dweller can learn to DO
a farmer. What is more, the great ma
jority of our country-folk know great
deal about New York, even if they have
not been there. The women, with thae
native taste in dress which is the birth
right of most American girls, manage to
clothe themselves in garments which
would pass quite unnoticed in New
York crowd, and the men buy their ready
made clothing from firms which sell the
same sort of goods in Chicako, New York
and Squashville. Thus the distinctive
garb which the countrymen of the stage
always wear is seldom seen in real hfe
certainly not on such an occasion as the
Dewey festivities. What is more, the
countryman puts on his most correcE
English, as well as his best attire, for
visit to town. In the privacy of his own
home he may use racy colloquailisms or
wreck the rules of grammar at his own
sweet will, but not when he is talking
with a stranger. Quite unconsciously he
drops his drawl and his country slang to-
gether, and prunes his dialect until it Is
only the average dialect of the untutored
American citizen.
One reason for this Is peculiarly Amert-
can 1t is the influence which the young
have in the home. Certain aspects of this
influence are not very lovely, but in some
ways it is a good thing. One of the most
painful sights in the world is the aged
father or mother meekly submitting to
the tyranny of a young daughter who Is
trying to make her parents over but one
of the prettiest and quaintest of situa-
lions is that of the old people striving TO
look and behave their best that they may
do honor to John or Mary, who has made
some sort of a success tr a different
world from that to which they are ao-
customed. Like most other things in life
the circumstance which is called 'rising
above ones station in life is fine or cor
did, according to the way In which It 10
handled. If there is love on both Sides
consideration, tact and appreciation, the
relation between the educated and sue.
cessful man and his less sophisticated
father is most beautiful. Il all depends
on what kind of man the son Is, and what
kind OF father he has.
