THE 4TH AT MILLER.
General Exodus To Adjoining
Towns.

Miller was nearly deserted on
the 4th. AS soon as the home
celebration was called off our
people began to plan excursions
to other places. Pierre hired the
Miller Cornet band for the 4th,
the central day of her ,cele-
bration, and most of the Miller
people accompanied them. The
band was treated very hospita-
bly,, but the celebration was
rather a lame Gffair. Thenatur-
al attractions about Pierre are
very good, but that town has
the mistaken idea that they will
suffice for a celebration too.
Those who could not go to
Pierre went to st. Lawrence,
Washington and Huron. They
report a fair time at all three
places. A picnic and dance were
given at st. Lawrence, about the
same at Washington and the Ep-
worth League Assembly at HUI
ron was the drawing card for
that place. Hitchcock and HUI
ron played base ball which the
former won, as a side attrac-
ton.

After national election the com.

aetiFe operation of politics are dead
ssAeept TO meet and call tile, next ma
tloAal convention. The chairman Of
me successful party has generally
mad considerable to say about the
ulsposition-of the patronage. and for
Ahls reason Mr.. Hanna has been egpe-
eialiy distinguished. By the death of
president Mckinley Mr.. Hanna as a
dispenser Of patronage VIII cease to
exist. It is quite possible that II he
cannot agree with his brother senator
-tom Ohio he NAV not be able "a even
nletate the Ohio appointments. His
open opposition to President Roose-
Feit when three-fourths of his PARTY
were calling for his nomination as
elee president cannot but have left
1eelng Of noncompatibility between
Rhem So Hanna Will be looked upon
as dead duck instead Of dictator.
1here are other senator's who win
be somewhat ID the same fx. sueh
as flatt, Of New York; then there are
othefs who have been nursing presi-
dental booms, such as Fairbanks ana

or perhaps like other ambitions laid
away for ever. That President Roose-
selt VIII Demand another term. as an
Endorsement Of whatever policy ba
may eventually decide upon. Is eer-
talas and unless powerful senatorial
capal Is brought about to nominate !
more subseryient candidate. he win

FROM present appearances President
Aoosevelt intends 10 plaeate all the
factions IN his party. but he lacks the
patience and diplomacy Of his prede-
cessor without which entire unanin-
ity is rarely accomplished lie win
also have to throw ove~board many
cherished notions, such as civil serr-
ice reform, control Of the trusts ana
reform Of the tariff. all Of which tbe
great majority Of the leaders Of bia
party are absolutely opposed to.
SO there may Be peace AMONGST
the factions OF the republican party
but there are many events that viii
happen before the spring Of 1904 that
may develop the most intense rivalry
and excitement.
