may mean the beginning of a
break for independence all over
Europe.
That Plankinton Outbreak.
Europe.

About the dirtiest and most dis
reputable piece of work for a long
time was the attempt to shoulder
the blame of the recent outbreak
at the Plankinton reform school
onto w. II. Tompkins, the new
superintendent, and his corps Of
official associates. The b c i e f
seems to be pretty well founded
that the whole affair was carried
out on the advice of the retiring
official, who was crusty and sore
over being deposed. 1t was a de
libcrate and dirty attempt to
bring the new management into
i'll favor and S G e | of THE
UNIONS republican exchanges
have practically upheld the rebel
lion and encouraged a repetition
of the outbreak. The Sioux City
papers, which have always been
friendly to South Dakata to a de-
gree which to say the lleast
is suspicious, have been particu-
larly industrious along this partic-
ular line, Notwithstanding the fact
tina: the Plankinton mutlny was
nipped in the bud and properly
dealt with by the management.
A dir,ier or more disreputable
attempt to besmirch a competent
management has never been wit
messed in South Dakota and the
little Cusses who have aided in the
transaction are as low and con,
temptihle as those who actively
participated in and encouraged tht
outbreak in the first place. 1t i,
one Of the rankest and raWest at
tempts Of its kind ever made il
this state or out of it.

Nc Kinley's Philippine War.

At present writing profound
peace, order and reasonably igood
government prevails in all parts of
the Philippine islands, save those
where Mckinley has ordered his
military expeditions to set up the
sovereignty Of the United States.
Wherever that has been attempted
murder, plllage, arson and all the
horrors of Philippine warfare are
inUevidence.
Every effort is being made to
to. conceal the facts from the
American peoble. The Nebraska
regiment is reported on its way
home with less than $50 men.
The report is silent about the
other $50. Otis requisition for
regulars indicate that 5000 will be
required to fill the depleted ranks

niflcant sign in the same direction

A Good Deal Like the West.

A pound of raw cotton is worth 5
cents: when made into fabrics that
pound is worth from % cents to 81.
Massachusetts has $1,000 600 spindles
and spins 1850, 600 bales of southern
cotton to sell back to the south. The
south hews the wood and draws the
water; it does the drudgcry of produc-
ing raw material for the north to man

which keeps the south poor, and always
will, until the southern people shall

Are the Republicans to Abandon the
Tariff?

General Smith, h m S a
Newspaper man, and the presi-
dents favorite mouthpiece, has
been interviewed and declare S
that the great industries of the
country are no longer in need of
protection; that they are supreme
in the markets of the world and
can take care of themselves. This
fact has been obvious to demo-
cratic intelligence at any time in
the past twelve years, but to have
official republican testimony to the
same effect is quite refreshing.
If the next national democratic
platform, however, declares in ia
vor of revising the tariff and wip-
ing out the unnecessary and harm
full protective features, the repub-
licans will have no difficulty in
denouncing the proposition as a
'snefarious attempt to disturb the
business interests Of the country
and let in a food of the pauper
made goods of Europe.

No n is yet in sight who can
poll within a million votes as
many as Bryan did in the cleo
ton Of 1896, and it has been
clearly demonstrated that the only
sort of a democrat who can carry
an eastern state is one like Cleve-
land who answers republican pur-
poses better than the candidate of
their own selection.

Tammany Cheers for Bryan.

The political sensation of the
day is the stampede for Bryan and
silver which ex-Gov. Hogg Of
Texas started at Tammany's
Fourth of July pow-wow. This
Fourth of July affair is Tammany's
bid for national recognition and
reputation. Prominent democrats
from every part of the country are
invited to speak and no limit is set
to their patriotic and democratic
ardor.
But on this occasion there was a
carefully laid scheme to float a
presidential boom for Judge Au-
gustus Van Wyck, brother of the
mayor of New York and the de-
feated candidate for governor of
New York in the last election.
Several speeches had been made
toward this carefully prepared end,
all being received with perfume
tory machine-made, but listless ap-
plause. Then came ex-Gov.
Hogg. He was not on the origi-
nal program and by some over
sight had not been "edited." Con.
sequently his speech had pith, life
and movement. He caught his
audience on the jump and gave
Tammany the surprise party of the
season. Without hesitation or equi.
vocation he declared that the ma.
tional convention next year would
again pronounce for free coinage
at the ratio of 16 to one, against
the protective tariff, trusts and i'm
perialism and in favor Of the in
come tax. At every point in his
ringing sentences the tremendous
gathering Of Tammany rank anc
file broke into tumultuous APP
plause. But when he wound UP
with an appeal to Tammany to line
up with the south and west under
Bryan the meeting went wild with
enthusiasm and the cheering
didn't stop for Ave minutes.
To say that the Tammany lead.
ers are chagrined is putting il
mildly. The recognition has been
forced upon them that Bryan is

Desire For Social Betterment,


The growth of unionism in all large
trade centres is ascribed to many
causes, chief of which must be men,
toned those of wages and social better
ment. While people possessed OF wealth
are engaged in the development of
dividends, and Withdraw themselves
socially from those out of whose labor
dividends are extracted, the latter
could not be expected to stand by in
confusion without making some effort
to obtain for themselves that recog-
milton which has been withdrawn from
them.
Hence, beneath every effort to bring
about a raising OF the wage scale lies
the desire for social betterment, in
the pursuit Of which all those who earn
their bread, no matter in what voca-
ton, are compelled to make common
cause. Eliminating the disorderly and
those who are led by professional agi-
tators, at the bottom we will find the
honest millions, whose purposes are
high and whose aims are noble.-At-
lanta Constitution.

will be shown that the Dingley law is

shown that the Dingley tariff is a PRO.
hlbitive lax. on imports. 1t will be
shown that as our ports are closed to
goods of foreign manufacture by the
operations of high protection the opor-
tunity has been utilized by aggregated
capital to multiply trusts and monopo-
lies. 1t will be shown that the exac-
lions of this system of concentration
have grown more oppressive upon la
Dor and production. IL will be shown
that though there has been a slight
increase in the wage scale of the coun-
try, labor has not benefited because
the opportunities of labor have been
narrowed by the increase Of trusts and
that there are actually more idle men
in the country today than a year ago
when the wage rate was lower.
The protectionists will be on the de-
fensive from the opening to the close
of the fifty-sixth congress and they are
going to have a hard time explaining
away a multitude of hard stubborn
facts.

MUST HAVE WOOD.
Mckinley Persuades the General to
Keep His Job.

Washington, June 30-Genera1 Leon
ard Wood was in Washington today.
He came at the request of the officials
of the war department to confer with
the president and the secretary of war
regarding the situation in the islands
and to discuss with them his future
plans. General Wood expects to leave
for Santiago either tomorrow or the
day following. He has declined abso-
lutely the offer made to become presi-
dent of the Washington Traction and
Electric company, and he will remain in
the army. The president and secretary
of war want him to remain in Santiago
where he has been so successful
Some time ago General Wood sought
service in the Philippines, but it was
then believed, as it is now that his SER
vices could not be spared in Cuba.
General Wood in talking of the con-
ditions existing in Cuba, said that what
the people there needed was good
schools. good sanitation in the city and
the enforcement of United States laws.
General Wood says his adVices from
Santiago are such as to convince him
that there will be no serious outbreak
of yellow fever. He says there has
always been yellow fever there and in
some of the low dives it will be impos-
sible to prevent infection, but he thinks
it will not be serious, as the best of
precautions have been taken by the
United States authorities

A CRISIS REACHED
In the Meetings of the Alaskan Boun-
Diary Line Affair.

Washington, June 30-The negotia-
lions in London looking to the arrange
ment of a modus viviendi fixing the
Alaskan boundary, have again nearly
reached a crisis. The several confer
enceS that have taken place recently
between Lord Salisbury and Ambassa-
dor Choate have been signaIly disap-
pointing in results. At moments it APP
peared that basis of understanding had
been reached, but it now turns out that
the details cannot be agreed upon with
out the sacrifice of the interests of
many American miners, mainly those
who were driven out of the Attn dis
trict, by the severe and discriminating
laws enacted by the legislature of Brit
ish Columbia, and this, the state de-
partment is determined not to sanction.
The United States ambassador has
come to the end of the concessions he
is authorized to offer and therefore the
prospect of a successful outcome of the
negotiations is rather depressing. Mean
while nothing is said on either side of
reconvention of the present joint high
commission, although the date set for
the meeting at the last adjournment is
rapidly approaching.
