Tremor of Mysterious source,

Why's there so much discouragema ant
in the republican party? Why is it that
so many republicans, including not few
who are in more or less prominent Of
fetal positions, are despondent over the
outlook for 1904? We give out no secret
nor do we stretch the truth in the slight
est degree when we assert that feeling
of gloomy apprehension is more COM
mon among republicans than cheerful
confidence. What is there in the stu
alton TO warrant all this? A study of
the present status of parties as indicated
by election returns of all the states
shows that nothing less than land
slide can bring in the democracy. But
more than one landslide has come in
that party's direction, and the repub-
licans--or a great many of them-seem
to feel that another incident OF that
kind impends. Washington Post

Firemen's Tournament.

The Board of Control of the South
Dakota Firemen's Association decided
t Q hold the annual tournament in
Chamberlain on June 9, 10, IL and IL.
Sioux Falls withdrew, and Chamber
lain had no competitor. 1t was solely
through Chamberlain's efforts that q
permanent appropriation of $1,000 was
secured from the state for the an
nual tournament, which, with a local
contribution of not less than $500,
will enable the board of control to
hang up purses of sufficient size here
after to revive interest in the volun-
teer departments of the state.
In view of Chamberlain's work, it
was conceded that it was entitled to
the first tournament, and hereafter
the purses, that will be put up will
insure good meetings. All purses and
expenses will be paid directly from
the state appropriation and the local
subscription, so that there will be no
charge of admission to the grounds
and everything will be free except
grand stand privileges, to which a
nominal charge will be made.

".Dave' Francis would make an ideal

inentdemocrat said to Anew York Her
aid correspondent. HE would have
the hearty support Of conservative
democrats who for eight years have
come to regard the party as the enc
my of property. OF course, he would
have to fight for the nomination. Any
conservative democrat who gets the
nomination next year must fight for it.
Il know no man whose personality
would be a greater inspiration to the
conservative old line democrats than
Francis. He is not a mere politician.
He is a great big, broad man. With
him as a candidate the democrats could
get a bigger campaign fund than with
any other standard bearer"
Mr.. Francis is devoting all his time
to the ST. Louis worlds fair. 1t is his
ambition to make it a success. The in
luence which his position is bound to
have on his candidacy, if his friends can
induce him to attempt the race. is q

by shooting in a hotel in Paris.
Gen. Macdonald was regarded as one

from the ranks in the Gordon highland

ice list shows no o honorable war
record than that of Macdonald, while
few officers possess mor hard-won

is in u serious condition mentally, and
his attorney, John II. Burns, has writ
ten to Judge John E. Garland, Of the
United States court, asking that he be
released.
Several months ago, when Green
wood was first placed in Jail, he
jumped headlong off the top of the
steel cage, striking on the floor on
his head. AS his leap only served to
shake him up, he next attempted to
gouge out his eyes with a bottom
hook, saying that his eyes were the
cause OF his trouble, as he could not
see well. He was placed i'll a close
cell, and deprived of everything that
he could turn on himself. For a time
he seemed to improve and announced
that his heart had been bad and was
getting better. But OF late he occu-
pies much of his time moaning and
wailing and refuses to eat.
