States feel as they do and as they read
extensively in the German papers they
should be posted. Brysn's election is
almost assured unless Mark Hanna sue
ceeds in buying the election and he can-
not do that, unless he can find some
c~ommendable act Of McKinley's upon
which to conduct a campaign. He can-
not claim prosperity, because every
financial paper in the country is telling
Of a decrease in bank clearings and an
increase in the number Of failures.
And I regard the reelection OF Sena-
tor Pett,grew from South Dakota as
equally certain al the election OF Bryan"

he has stood so fearlessly by bis convic-

alton which the people should possess
have made him a popular man with the
masses and | think there will be some
surprises iE store for the republicans of
South Dakota during the campaign this
fall. Many counties that are usually
republican will elect men to the legis.a-
ture who are favorable to PettlRrew,
and l think that ] can put my finger up
OF several hundred republicans IN the
state who will vote for Pettigrew legis-
lators aud no one else. With Mr.. Petit.

knows there is such a state as South
Dakota, and the people want to keep
that kind Of q man IN that position. l

reelection is absolutely certain"

INTERPRETATION.

We long for peace that is lasting,
We plead for rapture that's rare,
Like fishermen ceasclcssly casting
Their nets in the gulf of despair.
We draw from deep waters of sorrow
Dark wrecks Of old failure and fear,
And out Of sea silence We borrow
The storm that will never come near.
Faith speeds past the footsteps Of duty
And halts at the door OF a tomb;
Thought pierccs the source Of all beauty
And returns unto dust-'tis the doom
OF each man child to strive and to wonder,
To plan for some positive gain,
And only find mysteries under
All life, be 1t pleasure or pain.
Lo, in realms Of the mind there is treasure
For toilers who dwell in content;
There is truth that no science can measure,
And the fearless are never forspcnt;
There is light when earth shadows are falling
There's reward for the deeds that are done
Where envy crowned virtues are calling,
Through faith is thy victory womb

Liquor Traffic the Only Plank
in the Platform Adopted
at Chicago.
BITTER AGAINST M'kINLEY
Chief Executive Severely Ar
raigned on the Anti Cam
teen Law.
Either Swallow or Woolley Will
Be the Nominee for
President.

CHICAGO, June 2s.-The Prohibition
party will make its national campaign
this year upon platform of single
issue, the liquor traffic, all other issues
being subordinated to this one ques-
ton.
Upon this platform it is probable that
either Rev. s. Q. Swallow, the flight.
ing parson" of Harrisburg, Pa, or
John G. Woolley of Chicago, editor Of
The New Voice, the Prohibition ma
tional organ, will be nominated for
president.
The national convention Of the Pro.
hibition party met here and in three
sessions, morning, afternoon and even-
ing, cleared up all business except the
nominations for president and vice
president. The convention, in point Of
numbers and enthusiasm shown, Ia
considered one of the greatest ever held
by the advocates of cold water. Thirty.
seven states of the Union were repre-
sented when Chairman Oliver Stewart
of the national committee called the
convention to order at the First regi-
ment armory. nearly 7oo delegates be.
ing present.
Has But One Issue.
The platform adopted by the conven.
tion bears solely on the question of the
suppression Of the liquor traffic. In
connection with this, however, the ad:
ministration and President Mckinley
in particular are bitterly arraigned for
the position taken on the anti-canteen
law, the action on this being denounced
as Unreasonable.
A bitter fight took place in tho com.
mittee on resolutions before the plat
form was finally agreed upon, the mem.
bers being divided over the question Of
single issue or "broad platform" The
advocates of woman suffrage were par.
ticularly emphatic in demanding a
suffrage plank, but after session last.
ing several hours the matter was com.
promised by reporting separate reso.
lutioh favoring tho granting of the
franchise to women, and in this form
the report Of the committee on resolu.
tions was adopted by the convention
after considerable further debate,
Expressions of various state delega-
tions rather indicate the nomination Of
Woolley for president and H. B. Met.
