Napoleon ana Mothers.


A charming story is told of Napoleon
which illustrates well his reverence for
mothers. whom he rightly regarded az
the 'makers Of men," When his army
lay at Boulogne an English sailor who
had been taken prisoner tried to escape
on rude sort of skif which he had
contrived With bits of wood and the
bark Of trees. Hearing of the poor fell
lows unsuccessful attempt, Napoleon
had him brought into his presence, and
he then inquired whether the man had
really intended to try to cross the chan
mel in such frail little boat. The sail
or replied that he had meant to try in
order to see his mother, who was old
and infirm. "You shah see her." said
Napoleon, 'and take her this money
from me, for she must be a good moth
or to have such an affectionate SON."

Governor Elrod is one of
the common people" in bis
dress and tastes. There is no
nonsense or frumpery about
him. He is a plain speak
ing, direct acting man and
official. He is easy of ac-
cess and be is decisive in all
that he says. He is a man
of such clear views and such
directness Of speech that
one cannot help liking him.
He has come into the gov
ernorship at a time which is
full of both performance
and promise in South Da-
kota. The lean years are
past, forever past, they be-
lieve, and South Dakota is
slowly but surely taking It's
place with the greater COM
monwealths of the north
west. Politics in the state
is quiet, except as they have
an occasional thrill as they
look across the line into
fighting Iowa. On the cur
rent questions Governor
Elrod is like Senator Kit
rige, a man rather conser-
yative.

Thus spoke Chairman John b Hanna to

last Wednesday. For some years that party
labored To prepent honest elections. Men
entitled TO vote were denied registration,
were beaten and driven from the polls, and
Federal soldiers we're brought TO the places
to overAwe voters. That Is part OF their
struggle TO get and keep honest elections"

publican party machinery between the Gus.

the reform " election law OF 1895. purposely

clerks, thus making espionage of ignorant
voters more easy. Mr.. Hanna Is not familiar

PEACE PROSPECTS.

Recent dispatches from Washington lndi.
cate that peace between Russia and Japan
seems much nearer, There has been no hitch
In the negotiations, the center of which lie
still occupied by President Roosevelt Count
Cassini and Minister Takahira both called
upon the President ct the White House on
Monday afternoon. Count Cassini called
again at night, and Immediately went into
conference with the President After the
afternoon visit the following official an.
nouncement was made at the Executive
Mansion:
Ambassador Cassini has called TO ex
press the Russian Governments assent to
the Presidents proposition and TO state that
they would appoint plenipotentiaries TO meet
the plenipotentiaries Of Japan to discuss the
questions Of peace. The place Of meeting
is at present being discussed"
The replies to President Roosevet's note
to the two beligerents have not been made
public, because the assent OF Russia to the
proposition was made "orally" through
Count Cassini. Only the reply of Japan is
in writing, and as both replies could not be
made public textually, the President decided
not TO make public the one that is in writ.

Count Cassini. instead Of through the chan
nels In which the overtures were initiated,
the situation has not been complicated. -

ing feeling Of optimism regarding the out
come Of President Roosevelt's offer of good
will The developments of the day were as
follows:
The sssents of both Russia and Japan TO
the Presidents propositions were received
by the President.
Both Governments have decided to ap
point plenipotentiaries, the names Of which
have been chosen.
Russia has named place Of meeting,
which has been made known TO Japan, and
Japan has selected place OF meeting, which
has been named To Russia.
President Roosevelt has acquainted the
respective Governments through diplomatic
channels with the names OF the two meeting
places suggested.
Both Russia and Japan have suggested
different places for the peace negotiations.
Neither Washington nor the battlefield
of Manchuria is one of the two places sug.
gested.
II an American place Of meeting Is chosen
II will be Washington, but 1t is known that
neither OF the two places suggested is In
America, and, while the names Of those
places cannot be obtained, II is believed
that both Russia and Japan have suggested
places in Europe. 1t is reported that Paris
is suggested by Russia, but this cannot be
affirmed, 1t is also believed in some circles
that The Hague or Geneva has been sug-
gested, bnt this cannot be confirmed.
