made to farmers increasing theil

The New York Sun has a charac-
t~eristic editoria! on the election re-
suit in South Dakota, in the course
of which Senator Pettigrew comes in
for a dark brown roast of ample di-
mansions. The Sun says, under the
headline.
"The Sorrows of Pettigrew.
The Honorable Richard Franklin
Petrigrew, senator IN congress from
South Dakota, made ferocious efforts
to carry the state for Aguinaldo.
Pettigrew is the fellow who is
ashamed of his country and wants
the flag hauled down. Few of the
n ti-expansionists are more bitter.
None is less intelligent. not even
Billy Mason. The publication of
fictitious letters from soldiers in the
Philippines was one of Pessigrews
specialties. A silver republican
who turned to silver and Organism
and haslong ceased to represent the
republicanism of this state. Petit.
grew has the especial hatred Of the re.
publican party and the administra.
ton. He sailed into imperialism
with all his wind. He was going to
'rebuke" the administration.
South Dakota was a Bryan state
by a small plurality in 1896, and
again Icy a slightly larger one in
1898. This year it became repub.
lican and kicked over fusion and
Pettigrew. Another state lost to
Bryan and Aguinaldo. In 1901 it
will experience the happiness of
losing Pettigrew and putting a re.
publican into his place in the senate.
The Philadelphia Press also pays
it's respects to Senator Fettigrew in
a post election editorial saying
among other things:
The result of the election in South
Dakota IS gratifying not only for the
evidence it gives that the state has
returned to the republican column
but for the fact that it administers
a singing rebuke to United States
Senator Pettigrew. THIS Pettigrew
has like Senator Mason of Illinois.
declared himself ashamed of his
county because an effort was being
made by the United States to assert
its rightful authority IN the Philip.
pines. In order to create an anti.
expansion sentiment, he has printed
in a newspaper he controls 10 South
Dakota what proved to be bogus
letters from soldiers denouncing
General Otis and the management
OF the war. He also endeavered to
&c. an Endorsement of his course
from the voters of the state but sip.
nally failed. The chairman of the
republican, state committee of South
Dakota, in commenting on the re.
suit of the election says: This vic
tory is especially gratifying because
Senator Pettigrew threw his person
atty into the fight for all it is worth"
As il proved, Mr.. Pettigrew's ..psr-
sonalityn did not amount to much.
South Dakota gave from S,O0e to
10000 majority in favor of expansion
and Senator Pettigrew will 20 back
to Washington with the brand of re.
pndiation placed on his back by his
constituents.

A True Highlander.

The local or national titles attributed
to British regiments are not much guide
to their actual composition. This was
illustrated the other day by a speaker
in the House of Commons in the fol-
lowing anecdote: When Lord Spencer
was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland he in
spected the Scots Grey in the Phoenix
Park. He stopped before the tallest
man in the regiment and said: MY
good man, what nationality do you be-
long top Scotch, yer hammer" was
the reply. Lord Spencer further asked,
What part of Scotland do you come
from?" "Tipperary," was the answer.
