Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1902-09-26

In the interests Of the perpetuity of
the race. it may be found necessary for
the government to step in and settle the
coal strike. Lei alone tho possible ex.
Termination of tho people through the
rigor Of the cold, there is even more
threatening calamity. From Chicago
comes the report that the prohibitive
price of anthracite is serving as . deter.
rent in the case Of many marriage
which was planned to be celebrate d
this fall. The market for coal and the
market for marriages are evidently
closely related to tho law Of supply and
demand, and tightnsss in the one will
lead to an untighsening in the other.

Inaccepting Nr. Henderson's decli-

a considerable majority of those who
write and speak upon the subject attri-
bute his retreat to his own belief that
it is not possible for him to again attain

signs OF rebellion against his authority
during the last session. It il presumed
that the next house will contain tariff

Henderson could not become it, presid-

such action. Those who know Mr..
Henderson most intimately believe his
course to haye been directed entirely
BY his conscience, which weuld not
permit him to accept election at the

NEW SHIP COMBINE

LONDON, June 5--The negotiations
of the British and the Canadian govern
ments and some of the other colonial
governments with the Cunard line and
other lines comprising what is now
termed the Liverpool syndicate which
is opposing the Morgan shipping COM
bine contemplate, according to the
Westminster Gazette, both a fast SER
vice of mail and passenger steamers in
conjunction with the Canadian Pacific
Railroad and a fleet of fast freight
steamers. The mail steamers which it
is proposed to build will be of enormous
Size capable of steaming twenty-five
knots an hour, and will be fully equip
ped for use as armed cruisers, carrying
eight quick-firing siX-inch guns, for
ward and aft, and brOadsides of three
4.7-inch guns. The freight steamers wIh
be siXteen-knot vessels, carrying 6O0J
to 1000 tons dead weight The Westmin-
ster Gazette thinks it probable that Mil
ford Haven will be the port of depar-
ture of the fleet The scheme contem-
plates a line of steamers running to
China, Japan and Australia from VAN
cOuver, b. c. Canada and Australia
are expected to join in paying the sub
sides.
A draft of the scheme involves the
home Government guaranteeing small
interest in the capital involved. This
will have to be ratified by the House
of Commons, where" says the West
minister Gazette, lit will probably be
met with opposition"
LONDON, June 6.-According to the
Daily Mail the American Line steamers
will not join the British shipping COM
binatiOn but will remain an active COM
petitor on the outside.
London shipping circles are skeptical
as to the success of the Canadian SER
vice unless it receives heavy subsidies
1t is believed that such line could only
hope to pay by attracting American
trade, and that this would only be pos
sible by running the newest and best
boats on the Atlantic, costing Ct, 000,O 900
apiece and managed on the most sump-
tuous scale.
In an editorial the Daily Mail eXhOrts
the Government to adopt measures to
protect and encourage British shipping
instead, as has hitherto been the case,
of rather striving to hamper the indus
try by the application of restrictions
which were not enforced upon alien
shipping.
The Daily News in it's financial article
this morning says it is believed that the
bulk of the shares of the Cunard Com
pany is now in American hands

ments of a decisive nature one way or
the other may be expected soon. The
beet-sugar Senators say it must be a
rebate or nothing, and the stalwarts in
the House reiterate the statement.
Meantime the President insists that
something must be done for Cuba.
A significant dispatch is printed in to-
nights New York Post from its Wash
ington correspondent who is on init
mate terms with the President and
whose articles sometimes appear to be
inspired. The Evening Post strongly
favors reciprocity. The dispatch says:
Unless the Cuban reciprocity matter
takes on new and more promising as
poets at once we may look for a special
message from the President to Con-
gress. This is the expectation of those
members who have discussed the stu
alton with him confidentially during the
last few days. Affairs have reached
stage which may fairly be described
as a crisis The fate Of the proposed
legislation swings on the finely>pointed
pivot of chance and may make its final
move either way. The President has
been advised by some of his most trust
ed friends in the Senate that about the
only hope of getting the reciprocity bill
through at this session rests with his
handling Of his shares of the business,
and they consider that the time has
come for him to make a public appeal
to the conscience and patriotism of the
law making body

FUNNY JOKE

NJ. P. Kelly was locked up at the city
prison charged with common nuisance
Kelly is alleged to have taken quite an
original and playful method of getting
even on j. Carly, the livery stable man.
Kelly was employed by Carly until
Thursday morning but for some reason
left the employ of Carly. Thursday
night Kelly is alleged to have kept the
telephne wires hot with orders for rigs
from Carty'S stable. In fact, had all
of the orders been bona fide, Carly
would be able to pay an unexpected Ill
Vidend and also take a trip to the Vol
cano.
Two wagonettes were ordered out to
the Moana Hotel. Another rig was
sent to the Melrose Hotel where it re-
manned for three or four hours, waiting
for the appearance of the reported fare.
All sorts and styles of conveyances
We're ordered. Buggies went to the
slopes of Punchbowl where only the
barefoot Portuguese had trod for many
moons, barouches were ordered to the
widest confines of Kalihi while the
number Of demands for hacks from Ke-
walo caused the livery stable people to
think that there was a wake in pro-
gress.
The sudden call for horses and rigs
taxed Cartys livery stable and, for a
while, it looked as if some of the orders
would have to be turned over to other
stables. Before the evening was finish
ed, Carly probably wished that some
of them had been shared with the other
livery men.
1t is declared that after the first two
or three orders for rigs came, striking
similarity in the sound af the voices
of the persons, giving the orders was
observed. While the orders might have
been the orders of a j. Pierpont Nor
gan the voice was declared to be the
voice of Kelly. When Carly found out
the job that had been played on him,
he blessed the perpetrator and Incl
dentally caused his arrest. Kelly was
before Judge Wilcox yesterday, to
answer to the charge of common nui-
sance. The case was continued until
next Monday.

IN THE COURTS.

An answer has been filed by Davis
and Brooks in the case of Magoon VS..
Chun Kee Gnau ct al a bill to set aside
and cancel a lease. This is the case in
which MagOon claims to have signed a
lease giving an annual rent of 500 and
$3.50, when he meant to make it month
ly. The defendants deny that there
was any such clerical error as is claim
ed, and they allege that the lease as
accepted and signed, after being read
over by both parties, was according to
the intention and agreement made.
In the case of Kaninui VS.. Kalai, also
bill to set aside and cancel a deed, the
defendant has filed a general denial, by
Peterson and Matthewman.

READ IT IN HIS NEWSPAPER.

George Schaub, a well known Ger
man citizen of New Lebanon, O., U. S.
A, is constant reader of the Dayton
Volkszeitung. He knows that this pa
per aims to advertise only the best in
it's columns, and when he saw Cham
berain's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back, he did not hesitate in
buying a bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most. terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says: After
using the Pain Balm for few days my
wife said to me, I feel as though born
anew and before using the entire con-
tents of the bottle the unbearabl4 pains
had entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household duties"
He is very thankful and hopes that ell
suffering likewise will hear of ner
wonderful recovery. This valuable liIli =.

Did you ever hear of renting letters-ves
and selling them, too-the ordinary enyel-
oped missives that the postman' hands you,
the kind that our Uncle Samuel carries
from point to point at the rate of 2 cents
per carry? Not the love letter kind. They
are for sale, too, but in a different way,
Publishers get them and give posterity the
benefit. But the letters of today that COM

ket are the letters of business.
This is in connection with that more or
less admirable industry known as "the mail
order business" The man or woman who
has mail order scheme must have
names He or she must know to whom
to send the carefully worded circulars
which are to be productive of a golden
harvest. The old way Of the mail order
agent was to insert an advertisement I'm one
of the many hundred of little papers thai
people in the big cities seldom see. hIIt
which have wide circulation in the rural
districts. That was pretty good way. but
today the mail order man thinks he has q
much better one. :
He procures list Of names Of persons
who have answered previous advertisements
and to the people on this list he addresses
a circular. This is to him great saving
1t narrows down to special field Instead
of declaiming to a scattered and necessarily
partially uninterested congregation he has
the advantage OF addressing a carefully se.

MARRIAGE AND PROSPERITY.

From the Philadelphia Press
IL is not surprising to learn that the nur

more marriages in 1901 than in 1900. Balti-
more about 100 more and Cincinnati o5o
more. These cities can be taken as exaro-
pies, and when marriage statistics are made
up elsewhere they will doubtless show the
same record Of increase
ms was expected. The year was q nrcs
porous one, and according to all past expe-
rlence 1t should have shown an Increase in
marriages. The vital statistics of civilized
nations Illustrate this fact So we'll has this

TALKING TO ONES SELF.
Supposed to BE One of the Earl.
Symptoms of Insanity.

Supposed to BE One of the Early
Symptoms of Insanity.
From the London Saturday Review.
Talking to ones self has this obvious ad-
vantage over any other form Of oratory or
gossip-one is assured Of sympathetic
audience. But it has also this peculiar
drawback-it is supposed to be one of the
early symptoms of insanity. Wrongly SO,
perhaps mad doctor might rule the
habit out Of his diagnosis. Nevertheless
the popular belief is firmly rooted. And it
is for fear Of this belief, doubtless, that
we talk to ourselves, even as we dress our
hair with StraWS so rarely. 1t may be said
that we never do address ourselves at any
length except in the delirium of a fever.
In moments of ordinary excitement, of
course, we utter to the wind some sort of
appropriate ejaculation. Delight wrings
from us a cry of "Hurrah! or Thank
Heavenv' even though there be none by to
echo us.
Similarly in any disgust we emit one of
those sounds whose rather poor equivalents
in print are "Ugh!' and "Faugh!' "D-n!'
and "Tut!' Much further than this We do
not go. Why, what an ass am IT, cries
Hamlet in one Of his soliloquies Omitting
the first word and transposing the last two,
the ordinary modern man does often solilo-
quize to that extent. But he could no more
soliloquize to Hamlets extent than he could
speak in decasyilabics Nor is there any
reason to suppose that that class of the
community with which, eontemptuous of
his own fiuency, Hamlet compared himself,
is or ever was more prone to soliloquize
than any other. In the matter of solilo-
quies we cannot accept Hamlet as an un-
biased authority. We merely find in him
the possible origin Of the belief that talk
ing to ones self Is a bad sign.
