AS the President returned to the

Mckinley at Huron.

A very few people from Brookings
had the pleasure OF seeing President
Mckinley In his triumphal tour of the
state. The few who went TO Huron
Saturday morning, however, were
fully repaid for the trip for they not
only saw the nation's chieftian and
heard him speak, but they had the
pleasure Of riding home with the
soldier boys.
The presidential train was over an
hour behind schedule time in reach
ing Huron, but this fact did not deter
thousands OF people from braving the
elements and standing like heroes In
the cold and chilly wind until the
train pulled in at the depot.
At the end of the depot platform
there had been erected stand for
the guests of honor and little higher
up was another enclosed by railing
for the chief magistrate of the nation.
A carpet had been laid from the train
landing and the platform was cano-
pied and decorated with flags and
bunting.
As President Mckinley stepped up
on the platform he was presented
with most magnificent bouquet OF
red roses to which compliment he
bowed in grateful acknowledgment
and passed them on down TO the car
which he had just left.
There was no need OF an introduct-
ion, he was quickly recognized by the
people as he emerged from the door
Of the rear car. In his speech Presi-
dent Mckinley said:
Il bring my heartfelt salutation to
this, one OF the younger sisters OF our
federal union. You have made won
derful progress. You have been en-
joying in the last "a months an un-
exampled prosperity. Good crops and
fair prices have raised the mortgage
and lowered the interest; and while
the interest has been lowered 20 the
borrower, the standard Of the money
loaned has not been lowered.
II came here to make an acknowl-
edgment to the people OF this state
for its patriotism. When you we're a
territory you furnished battalions OF
gallant soldiers TO fight in the great
war for the preservation OF the union;
and my comrades OF the Grand Army
Of the Republic are all about me here
today. And when the Spanish war
came the sons OF these veterans and

laughable incidents which had trans

pressed surprise and pleasure at the
growth this city had made during his
many years absence, and emphasized
the fact that not one Of those who
had gone away from here had in any
way bettered their circumstances,
while on the other hand he could see
evidences which convinced him that
those who had stayed by the ship
had surely been favored by good for

Hail! ye warriors from the tropics,
Bronzed by orient's blazing sun,
You have earned the nations plaudits
By your noble battles won;
Well ye served, and o how gladly
Now we welcome you at home,
Bringing with you victory's banner
Reared aloft to heavens dome.
Ring the bells and blow the whistles,
Let the cannon loudly roar
For our South Dakota veterans
Have returned to roam more.
Deck them with the wreath of laurel
To the world with Joy proclaim
That the nation has enrolled them
On the glorious scroll of fame.
Foreign soil your feet have trodden
Where Gods mission carried YOU
As ambassadors of freedom,
Instruction to subdue.
May your childrens children praise you,
When in future years they see
That your labors brought fruition,
Homes made happy, people free.
You have planted there Old Glory,
May its folds forever wave.
There you placed it by your valor
Yours the glory, blood you gave
To sustain your country's honor;
Who will dare your deeds gainsay.
Tear it downR No, never! never!
Where you placed it, il shall stay.

ing in the Above Office.
Under the caption "Strange Case
Of a Congressman" The milwaukee,

gossip concerning the new congress
man from this district and his rail
road passes:
This anti-pass law Of ours has re-
suited in some startling developments.
Apparently it has changed patriots
Cat least they said they were patriots,
into merely earthly self-workers. Il
has dashed some of the most reformed
reformers'' from the lofty pinacles

rere wont to send sage advice on how
to elect model men to Office. But its
different now.
1t so transDires that some of the
men who were most prominent in the
movement for an anti-pass law now
find the.law onerous. This fact is re
vealed by the designations Of notaries
public, as well as by the private tales
or woe OF these statesmen.
The records of the Office of the
secretary OF state show that among
the number Of notaries who rendered
their designations is Congressman
Herman B. DahIe, of the Second dis
trict The resignation as notary was
submitted in the usual way, and of
course was accepted. Other officials
at Madison are wondering, however,
just how the congressman, who came
in as a :'reformer." can relieve him
self of the penalty for violating the
anti-pass statute by simply giving up
one Of his Offices, and that, too, the
most insignificant.
81 suppose, said a well-knOWn off
ciaI to q representative Of The Jour
nal, 'sthat Mr.. DAZZLE proposes to take
advantage of the contention that,
though the Wisconsin statute plainly
includes all public officials in the
state, under the constitution he as a
congressman could not be convicted
under this law. However, that GER
tainly does not relieve him from the
moral obligation to comply with this
law. If an alderman or a policeman
is compelled to pay his fare even on a
street car, why should a congressman
be permitted to use his passes? Per-
haps the 'reformers' will be able to
answer the question"
Among the other performers" who
have resigned their commissions as
notaries is c. j. Smith. of Viroqua,
an ardent worker in the 'Ecause, " who
aspired to congressional honors. And
there is quite list Of others Of the
same faction.

party in power to- administer the
government, and it can do so most
effectually through the agency OF its
partisans. Missouri is a state IN
which the Republican party needs en-
couragement from the national adj
ministration. In its total Of Repub.
lican ballots it comes next after
Pennsylvania and Ohio. Under. such
conditions we do not believe that the
Democrats are entitled to share IN
the offices, which, if given them, will
be used for party purposes in the
campaign of 1900. 1t is chlvalrOus
not to exterminate a foe, out lfall to
see the wisdom ofgivingyour enemy a
club which he may use for your de-
struction." A number Of protests
have been received from Republicans
of other states against the division
policy; but so far as known
that policy has not been changed,
but the president has it under con-
sideration.
Colonel George R. Peck, a promi
nent western railroad man, said Of
sentiment in his section: 1.-The almost
country is IN favor Of sustaining the
policy of President Mckinley. Even
those who are opposed to the idea
of colonial possessions are. patriotic
enough to say that the circumstances
of the case forbid our leaving the
Philippines, for to do so would make
us the laughing stock Of the nations.
The great body Of American citizen
ship is in hearty accord with the Nc
Kinley administration on this ques-
ton, and all the Atkinsons OF the
land couldn't swerve this honest
mass, who are the bone and sinew Of
the republic. And any party that
attempts to make political capital
by adverse criticism OF the admins
tration's course will be ground to
pieces, as it deserves. In such times
as this the president Is the leader OF
the whole people, and to take issue
with him on any pretext is un-Ameri-
can and unpatriotic.
