in American society. She was one of a
famous quartet of Virginia beauties. heI
sisters having married Charles Dana
Gibson, the artist; Reginald Ward, and

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
FEAR AN

The one thing to be avoided by
the senate in the passage OF the
railroad rate bill is the amendments
that will doubtlessly be attempted.
ANY amendment that would tend to
bring rates into court review would
have the effect of making the law
in operative to some extent, that such
a long delay would ensue after the
rate ..had been submitted to court
that an ordinary business man would
give the thing up lin disgust for the
delay which would naturally follows
by theinterposition Of the corpor-
ations. Speaking OF this handi-
cap the United States Investor had
the following along that line:
The amendments thus far propose
to the Hepburn bill by the oppOe
nents are all calculated to leave TIL
remedies dependents upon long drawn
out litigation, in the course OF which
the poorer litigant naturally is at q
great disadvantage. If the disputes
over a rate made by the commission
could be settled speedily, the objec-
tion to the proposed review would he
largely removed. For this purpose,
however, a special court would be
requisite and it would be necessary
to rigidly prevent dilatory actions
such as so frequently delay the de-
termination of cases in courts. There
would also remain the ultimate APP
peal to the highest court, which
necessarily means delay and mas
much as all these delays benefit the
transportation company and injure
the aggrieved party, the imperative
need is obviously for a system that
shall be more neatly just to both
parties. A rich corporation can al
ways afford to wait, so long as the
right to appeal acts as a stay OF the
execution of the decision below the
other side cannot. Per contra, the
corporation can better afford to take
the risk of temporary loss than the
otherside. Equal justice hence re-
quires that the man on the other side
shall have the protection contemp-
lated. It is to prevent the growth
OF antaeonism against corporations,
which only the purblind fail to see
and appreciate, that President
Roosevelt and his allies are pushing
for this legislation. To call it So
ciaiistic is ridiculous, for those advo-
eating socialism do not want it: they
regard the measure as mere temper
izlnR, since government ownership
alone will. IN their opinion, serve
the purpose Of attaining equal rights
to all.

coalition is a particularly strong one.
Prof. Ewdard Boyles, in his connec-
tion with the Yankton Commercial
College, showed not only great abili-
ty in his special branches. but an
executive ability that will stand him
in good stead in the starting of a
new school. Yankton people. who
know the merits and qualifications
OF the people in whose hands rests
Mitchell's new educational institu-
tion, will wish them every success
and al the same time recommend
them to the citizens of the Corn
Palace City. The details of the en-
terplise were reached today and Mr..
Virgil Boyles returned home to
Mitchell tonight. Mr.. Edward
Boyles leaves Thursday for Omaha,
where he will take three or four
weeks vacation before going TO
Mitchell with Miss i'oyles to take
up their new work.

latter city. One thing lead to anoth-
er until fin 1lly to 1etaliate on Dead
wood Mr.. Buell. was finally induced
to come out as a congressional can
didate to iniure the campaign of
Deawdood's senatorial candidate,
Mr.. Martin. The Insurgents were
chuckling over the suppositlon that
Buell. was an insurgent and was go
ing to do great things Sin the Hills
country. Under the circumstances
there is no reason Why Deadwood
and Rapid City should be scrapping
over a political proposition where a
matter of business only is concerned
and it is thought that the differences
existing will be patched up in a short
time.

Efforts are being made in the Hills
country to try and drag The name Of
Congressman Martin into a real es-
tate deal with Postmaster Palmer,
of Omaha, who bought a tract Of
land near the national soldiers home
which was located at Hot Springs.
Mr.. Palmer comes back at the fell
lows who are making the charges and
denies the transaction with tue ut
most vehe,nence, and declares that
Mr.. Martin could possibly have moth
ing tc do with the deal, for the rea-
son that Mr.. Martin was not in
congress at the time he bought the
land. and MIR. Palmer further de-
clared that he did not buy the land
until after the home bad been locat-
ed at Hot Springs. What few insur-
gents there are in the Hills are
mighty hard up for campaign mater
ial against Mr.. Martin.

AMBITION OF THE DEMOCRATS

Huron Huronite: Ed. johnson,
national democratic committeeman
for South Dakota lets the a out OF
the bag in a letter to the Armour
Herald, giving his views upon the
political situation in this state. Mr..
johnson predicts democratic success
In the near future in state and ma
tion, hut predicts the uccess Of the
regular republican organization in the
next state convention and says:
eft the regular organization wins
out in the state convention which
cunvenes in June (Which from the
date seems a very likely 0ccurrence)
q large per cent OF the liberal ele-
ment OF the party will not support
the nominees Of the convention, and
the democrats are expecting enough
recruits from the purity To give them
at least, q partial Victory next Nov
ember.
ssConditlons appear more favorable
for victory this ear tl.an in 1896,
when the populists and Democrats
elected their state %lisset.''
Mr.. johnson evidently knows what
he is talking about when he says a
large per cent of the liberal clement
will not support the M Linees OF the
convention. The element of the
party is composed OF populjsts and
democrats who seek to control the
republican party Ut the state by par
t~icipating in its cauc;ses. The stall
warts oppose sncli 4 curse and will
fight 1T out on this line.
The insurgents OF the state are al
ready planning to bolt the republi-
can convention. They renlize they
are defeated and they propose to bolt.
Mr.. johnson is in close touch with
the insurgents and he therefore has
hopes that the democracy will be
able to gain at least a partial victory
with the Crawford following.
This is not strange when 1T is con-
sidered that, with one Or two eXcep-
tions, every democratic paper in the
state is supporting Crawford for
governor.

MARTIN At CANTON
Congressman Martin Spoke to an
Immense Audience at Canton
on Friday Evening.

Canton. March 17.-Congfessman
Eben w. Martin delivered a political
address in this city last night tefore
an audience which packed the courl
house to its utmost capacity, and
the enthusiasm which prevailed
throughout his magnificent address
indicated strongly that there was
no falling off in the stalwart repuhli-
cans by reason of any possible lnloads
which the insurgents claim to have
made in this county. La speaking
of the land values along the Sioux
river he said that i'm the days of
populism they were 30 per c. mt lower
than across the river on the Iowa
side, and at present land is of equal
vaule. He gave an interesting his
tory of the republican party and
dwelt upon Roosevelt republicanlsm.
which he declared to be the same as
that of Lincoln and Mckinley. witt
this distinction, however, that this
is an administration OF activity. lie
said that President Roosevelt was a
man CT action having the fighting
qualities of Jackson and the sympa-
thy Of Lincoln. La referring to COR
pDrationS AMI trusts, Mr.. Martin said
that bad trusts were the rule and
good hes the exception. The TWO
faults of trusts are Observation-Disclosures
and the elimination OF competition.
He discussed the evils of the heef
trust at length. In speaking on the
railroad ate bill the congressman
showed that the state delegation in
Washington was in entire harmony
with the President. and declared
that the -Dolliver railroad
rate bill will become d law at this
session of congress-.
Referring to state politics. Con-
gresham Martin compared the rec
ords of Governor Elrod and Coe /.
era wford, and showed from the state
auditors report that three .imes in
1894 Mr.. Crawford appeared before
the state board of equalization and
asked for a reduction in railroad tax
alton, and also twice in 1898, bat was
turned down on each OCCASION. He
showed that during the time Mr..
Crawford was attorney general of the
state the average rate per mile of
railroad taxation was reduced S2l. 81.
and during the year that Governor
Flrod has served the state the aver
age rate per mile has been increased
s43l 20. MIR. Martin also discussed
the Roosevelt republican league, and
stated that the name had lust been
changed to Progressive League, be-
cause they found out that President
Roosevelt was not i'm harmony with
them. The only platform the insur-
gents had was the v%illifying OF the
characters of their opponents. He
closed with a strong appeal to the
citizens of Lincoln county to stand
10y Judge Cuthpert and stalwart re-
pnblicanism.
