From South Dakota.
Madison, S. d.. Feb. IA. 1900.

Madison, >. d., Feb. IA, l90O.
Mr.. EDIToR:-In arriving in this
part of the country 1 found the
weather quite different from what it
was in Iowa, for there was no snow
and the ground was as dusty as it
would be in the summer time and
most of the people out here have not
worn overshoes this winter and the
cattle and horses have nearly made
their living in the fields so that the
most of the hay will have to be
carried over to another season. ] was
quite surprised on hearing from home
few days ago, informing me that
they had since lefthome experienced
some of the worst weather of the
the season and as it came from this
way they hoped that 1 was not in a
blizzard. have been driving through
different parts of the country most of
the time, and have not seen any snow
and the roads are dry and smooth and
remind me of the plank roads which i
have seen In the state Of New York.
l have met many people from Winnie
shiek and adjoining counties all of
whom seemed to be happy and prosper
Gus. l must state here that this part
of the country has undergone quite a
change since 1 first saw it about
twenty years ago, for at the first time
most of the dwellings then in sight
were the sod shanty, some of which
contained what might be called good
sized family, and Others were intended
for the home of some lonely bachelor,
but since that time nearly all Of the
latter have emigrated to another
state, the state of matrimony. The
sod shanty is now thing of the past,
and person in travelling through the
country can see good buildings in
every direction.
Yours respectfully,
d. F. HoRAN.

Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-06-20

In 1896. The moment the republican
party passes from power and the party
of free silver and fiat paper comes in,
table currency and the gold standard,
the standard of the civilized world, are
iminent and deadly peril. Sound cur
rency and a steady standard of value are
today safe only in republican hands.
PLEDGES FULFILLED.
But there were still questions in 1896.
we had already thwarted the effects of
the Cleveland administration to throw the
Hawaiian Islands back to their dethron-
ed queen, and to give England the foot
hold for her cables in the group. We
then said we would settle finally the Ha-
waiian question. We have done so. The
traditional American policy has been
carried out. The flag of the Union floats
today over the crossroads of the Pacific.
We promised to deal with the Cuban
question. Again comes the reply, we
have done so. The long agony of the
island is over, Cuba is free. But this
great work brought with it events and
issues which no man had foreseen, for
which no party creed had provided a pol
Icy. The crisis came. bringing war in it's
train. M republican president and the
republican party met the new trial in the
old spirit. We fought the war with
Spain. The result is history known to all
men. We have the perspective now of
only a short two years, and yet how clear
and bright the great facts stand out, like
mountain peaks against the sky, while
the gathering darkness of a just oblivion
is creeping fast over the low grounds
! where lies forgotten the trivial and un-
important things, the criticisms, and the
fault-findings which seemed SO huge
when we still fingered among them. Here
they are, these great factors: A war of
a hundred days. with many victories and
no defeats, with no prisoners taken from
us and no advance stayed. with a trium-
plant outcome startling in its complete
ness end in its world wide meaning.
Was ever a war more justly entered
upon, more successfully fought, more
fully won, more thorough in it's results?
Cuba is free. Spain has been driven from
the Western Hemisphere. Fresh glory
has come TO our arms and crowned our
flag. It was the work of the American
people, but the republican party was
their instrument. Have we not the right
to say, that here too, ever as in the days
of Lincoln, we have fought a good fight;
we have kept the faith; we have finished
| the work.

The platform adopted by the

plain, positive and fearless in its
antitrust plank; it is moro salts

New Material tor the Supreme
Bench.


New Material tor the supreme
Bench.
The Bar, for July.
However Disappointing the fail
ure of the movement for divorcing
the judicial nominations from pol
itios, the situation. is relieved by
the outcome of the first party con-
vention of the State.
The nomination of Judges Eng
lish and Bennett by the Parkers-
burg convention leaves nothing to
regret by the bar or people of the
State so far as that action relates to
to the Supreme Bench. For in
case they, or either of them, is elect
ed, the dignity and honor of that
high tribunal will be in the best of
keeping, and no disappointment
will result that the independent
movement did not succeed
1t is needless for us to refer to
Judge English, for his character
and fitness as a member of that
Court have already been establish
ed, and are such as to assure and
satisfy the highest ambition of the
people of the State in relation to
that tribunal.
Judge Bennett is a new man
new in his relation to that court
but not new, by any means, to the
bar of the State, as an eminent
jurist who has already won the
highest respect of the profession
he represents.
The Bar is glad to say, speaking
from an entirely non-partisan
standpoint, that we believe the
nomination of Judge Bennett, is
one of the fittest that could have
been made; that no judicial con-
vention, would have done better;
that if the State had been hunted
over, no better material could have
been selected; and that his nomin-
alton commends itself to every
member of the bar of the State
whether be be Democrat or Re-
publican.
Judge Bennett is in the prime of
life, with vigorous health, clear
head, judicial mind, an ample
professional training and eXper-
fence. and personal character
that will command the confidence
of the whole people.
One other characteristic COM
mends this nomination to the
writer that is not usually enumer-
ated among the qualifications for
this high position, Judge Ben
nett, in addition to his profession
al training, is man of atfairs-he
knows things; he is in touch with
the people, and in intimate COM
munion with the world about him.
