COMING AND GOING.

mny be a good thing for the whole
country. Asaqucstion Of equity
no doubt it is, but to the people
in the west who have to consider
the features of the slong haul" it
might not be SO good thing.
The wholesalers, the jobbers, and
department stores of Chicago
favor the bill. while almost every
business west of the Mississippi,
which is interested in freight rates,
seems To think it would be mis-
chievous to the interests of Il e
western states.
q 1t is undoubtedly Il fact that
under the workings Of this bill, if
it becomes II law, freight rates in
South Dakota would be higher
than they are now, while some Of
the eastern states would enjoy
cheaper rates. When the matter
is better explained TO the poop Q
Of the west, and they come to I'M
derstand what the bill means to
them in the way of increased
tariff freight, perhaps they may
organize Il protest that will be
heard, even down in the national
capital,
The east has alway had the best
Of it in about everything over tie
west. except III the way of freight
rates. In this Che west has dir
tinctly had the advantage, Under
the proposed rate legislation til,
eastern states will still furthc.
arrogate to themselves advantages
commercially and otherwise. Be-
fore any decided stand is taken
for or against the passage Of the
bill in question perhaps it would
be best to study it carefully and
find out for sure whether it would
be favorable OF harmful to our in
terests out here in South Dakota,
Or in other western states that
would be affected likewise. 1t is
not 4 question for or against the
railroads. These corporations.
will be compelled to obey the
provisions of the bill if it should
become a law. 1t is simply re-
solved into u question as 10
whether the shippers Of this and
neighboring states would make or
lose by it.
An eastern shipper might be
ever so favorable to the interests
of railroad corporations and favor
this bill, while on the other hand,
4 shipper in, say, South Dakota,
might be the most rampant enemy
of these corporations, hut if he
consulted his own interests he
would have to oppose the bill.
This is the situation in a nutshell,
and the Free Press has tried to
make It plain why, at this time, it
does not look with any too much
favor on the so.called Esch- Town
send railroad rate bill.
Another and more potent rea
son, from 4 purely selfish stand
point, is that any legislation that.

Strengthening the Stable Door.

If one-tenth of the industry now being
displayed in recognizing the republican
party of New York had been displayed in
behalf of the party's ticket in the mayor
atty race, the democracy would have been
laid out cold as a wedge. 1t was blue rib
bon opportunity-one that good fortune
does not offer once in a thousand times.
Everything seemed creased for the occa-
sion. Now, after helping Tammany into
office the republican leaders are moving
the earth to prevent the result from car
rying next years gubernatorial race with

line for 1898. 1t is the case of the stolen
horse and the stable door with a variation.
The owners in this case assisted in the loss
of the animal, and now are waking the
echoes with their efforts to make the empty
stable safe in case they should ever come
into possession of any live stock again. a
comedy is presented worthy of a locality
where hocus pocus in both politics and
business seems to rule.

In all the national movements which have
gone to the upbuilding of the republic, its
maintenance and its strengthening. They
have been soldiers when the call came. In
the revolution they fought with colonists
of different faiths, striving periodically
and freely sacrificing their lives to the end
that here in the west might come into
being a nation of true liberty of thought
and action. They participated In the war
for the preservation of the Union. They
have always responded to the summons for
help In times of great calamity they
have given generously of their wealth for
the succoring of the afflicted. In their own
lines they have built up great charitable
works. They have eagerly awaited them

have striven faithfully to fit themselves

The Isle of Pines.

Secretary Roots reply to the American

standing or for the cherishing of false

voluntary surrender of title TO the United

for expecting this result
This is the way to handle such filibuster-
ing movements. The United States owes
certain duty to Cuba in the premises which
requires us to be especially circumspect in
our relations with the American residents in
Cuban territory. We cannot allow the least
suspicion of our good faith TO arise. We
kept our promise as to evacuation promptly
and in admirable spirit. We waited until
Cuba had established a permanent and re-
liable government and then left the island
We stand before the world as Cuba's spon-

Now the word has gone forth that there
are to be no more floral offerings on the

outside of the chambers. No longer is the

Thanksgiving.

At peace with all the world, strong in
cur foreign relations, prosperous at home
beyond all records, and with all evidences
pointing to continued good times and do
nestle tranquility. the United States to-
day offers thanks for the bounties of Prov
idence. The people in all sections are re-
spending to the spirit of the Presidents
proclamation and are attesting to their APP
probation of the gifts of good fortune and
the immunity from grave perils which have
been the portion of this nation during the
past year.
We have been both positively and mega
lively blessed. We have reaped abundant
harvests, have progressed in material ways,
have advanced intellectually. We have been
spared from. the former terrors of pestf-
lence in the south, thanks to the better
methods of fighting disease The spectacle
of the confinement of the New Orleans out
break of yellow fever within limited area
is an encouragement and a cause for hearty
expressions of gratitude. We have suffered
from disasters, but none of appalling mag
ntude, and in every instance of calamity
there has been displayed a readiness to
succor the afflicted which is a token of the
strong ties of sympathy and the fellowship
of humanity which bind the people of the
JIlleu states IlilO d tpiUpdct WuOlc.
Looking abroad, see many reasons to
be thankful for the avoidance of evils which
have been visited upon other peoples. Our
institutions are substantially safeguafded.
We are not paying heavily for our bless
ngs. The example Of revolt-riven Russia
is alone an inspiration to offer up fervenr
thanks for the beneficence of good govern
ment and wise administration.
During this year there have been revela-
lions of mismanagement and graft on the
Fart of the fduciary agents of high trusts.
These disclosures have greatly shocked the
country, but they have at the same time
been a wholesome influence for reform.
The evils disclosed not new. They
not the Upas fruit of single year.
They are the products of long-continued
misbehavior and misconception of RESPONSE
bility and abuse of power. There is in their
exposure reason for thanksgiving, for the
period of wiser, saner more honest conduct
which will surely follow.
In the world of politics there have been
events of a highly gratifying nature. The
people have demonstrated their indepen-
dence of the established bosses, and have
struck out for true self-government in the
cities, where lie the foundations of the state
and the nation. For the results of the No
vember elections, so far as they made for
this result, the country should today be
profoundly thankful
