A DISCOURAGED DEMOCRAT.
Bryan's Scheme or Government Ownership
Of railroads Has Dashe Ills Hopes.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir: Can you tell
US what to dot II docs seem such a pity, Just as
every downtrodden Democrat in the land had
begun to sopthe his pain Of repeated defeat with
the faith that he had a leader now TO take his party
to sure success; Just 80 Bryan was apparently
mahinR rapid Roadway TO the highest chair in tho
nation, our hopes must fall with his foolish fancy
of Government ownership OF railroads.
Every sane voter knows, and Will avert, the OBJ
vious horrors Of Govemment ownership OF railroads.
The one and one quarter million OF railroad EN-
ployees will unite against this policy Just as they
would unite under a party In power TO pcrpetuAtc
ia control should such a fallAcy be accomplished.
We gravely fear our Peerless Leader may con-
slstently spend abroad the two years Immediately
following the election Of zoos.

No Immediate Hope Of in Cuba

The proclamation Of martial law on
September 10 and the simultaneous re-
call Of the amnesty proclaimed two weeks
before attest a determination Of the
Palma Government not to accept at pres
emit any compromise with the Cuban in
surgents. The fighting, therefore, which
has been suspended temporarily in the
provinces OF Havana and Santa Clara,
will be resumed forthwith and the pro-
ductive and business interests Of Cuba
are again threatened with disaster.
The Unexpectedly firm and defiant
attitude OF the Moderates who control
the Palma Administration is evidently
due to the uccess gained by Colonel
TABAREs and Colonel AvALos on Sep
TENDER 8 in two engagements with the
insurgent forces commanded by General
Pho GUERRA in and near the town OF
Consolation, in the province OF Pinar Del
Rio. The failure OF three desperate
charges made by the insurgent Colonel
PAEZ on a Government armored train
seems 10 have been due to the effective
firing Of machine guns by an American in
the employ Of the Palma Administration.
Colonel AvALOs, on the other hand, ap-
pears Z g have had no machine guns at his
disposal in his successful attempt to Dust
PNo GUERRA himself from the town Of
Consolation, where hand to hand fighting
vas kept up for hours. In the latter
action alone the insurgents are said 70

Of Legislature In Jail and Taking Him Out Every
Day to Help Make Laws.

court room1 in Burleigh's block on
Broadway where this memorable
scene took place, and the lights used
were candles, but it made no differ
ence to Orion. The defense claimed
that the prisoners should have been
given a hearing in BonHomme coun-
ty, as the alleged offense was commit
ted in Charles Mix. A good deal of
wrangling followed and the prisoners
were allowed to 60 on their own
recognizance, everybody believing
the horse thieves got just what they
deserved, although it was privately
understood that it was horse thieves
who hung horse thieves.
Next year, 1872, Bill Mckay vas
elected to the legislature and came
down from Charles Mix and took his
seat among the distinguished law
makers Of the Territory. Bill enjoyed
his distinction without trouble until
the Roberts-Pettigrew Contest came
up. Bill was a friend of Mr.. Petit
grew and the friends OF Roberts dis
covered that the horse thief hanging
case was still unfinished business"
Bill was arrested on the old charge,
and lodged in jail in the basement OF
the court house in which the legisla-
ture held its session that winter.
The late Judge Moody of Deadwood
was speaker Of the house, and when
the house assembled in the morning,
Speaker Moody ordered Sergeant-at-
Arms Pay to proceed to the jail and
bring Mi. Mckay to his seat in the
house. Bill was taken down to Jail
and returned to his seat every session,
until the contest wa finished, then
Bill was Jailed no more.

Hon. Coe I. Crawford delivered a
magnificent address to an audience
that filed every bit Of space In the
court house Tuesday evening, and
over 100 extra chairs had been pro-
yided SO as to give all a chance to be
seated, but many we're unable to get
a seat Notwithstanding all the pre-
paratioI1.
II was an audience any man would
feel it q privilege to address. Many
OF the leading farmers OF the county
were present and business men came
from Hudson, Worthing and::..Harris-
burg, while the Canton business men
were out in force, a. well as preach
ers and college professors.
Mr.. Crawford never seemed In better
condition to defend the interests OF
the people and his two hours and five
minutes speech demonstrated that
he is n Of the great orators OF the
west, because that splendid audience
scarcely moved from the time he be-
gan until he closed.
At 5 O'Clock Mr.. Crawford was eS-
corted to the platform by w. G. Gem
mill, President Of the Roosevelt club,
who announced q song, which was
responded to by Dwight Slade, P. A.
Serum, G.. S. Hanson and James
Pattee, with Miss Elsie Nylen at the
organ. The song a inspiring and
put the audience In shape to hear
more about liberty.
at the conclusion Of the song Mr..
Gemmill introduced Mr.. Crawford,
who began to draw q picture OF the
value OF good government and good
citizenship, and so true did he draw
that wonderful picture that every
man and woman in that audience
were more convinced than ever that
the time Is at hand for the people to
throw of the corporation yoke and
stand out I'm the sunlight free and
powerful In their right as citizens and
tax payers Of our glorious young
state.
The speaker told Of the peoples
wonderful victory In boss ridden New
York when Jerome won the most re-
markable political victory on record.
He reviewed briefly Viewers great
victory In Philadelphia, when he de-
stroyed the boss system there and
drove the plunderers OF the people

from office. He spoke Of the revolt in
Ohio and Minnesota and told how the
republicans Of our sister state rebuked
the corporation bosses and turned
down their pet, Bob Dunn, because
the corporation gang secured his nom
nation through fraud.
Then he painted a picture Of the
corporation partnership with the poll
tical bosses of this state, and told
how a petition OF nearly ten per cent
Of the voters OF the state was treated
with contempt, and utterly ignored
by orders issued by the machine and
the corporation lobby at Pierre under
the leadership Of Alex Johnson.
He literally flayed those responsible
for the infamy, and his audience
listened with deep and growing in
terest as he unfolded that scheme Of
%treachery which told how the people
had been spit upon by the bosses and
corporation tools. 1t was most dra-
matte and the speaker never talked
more effectively; everyone felt the full
force OF the insult heaped upon them
by the bosses and corporation lobby.
He told Of the governors insult to the
voice Of the people through his mes
sage in opposition to the prim airy
petition, and how q majority Of the
legislature refused to pass a joint
resolution and a memorial to congress
endorsing the Presidents rate policy.
He reviewed Gov. LaFOllette's
wonderful fight in Wisconsin, and
how that fearless champion single
handed began a contest with the cor
porations which continued for eight
years, ending In an absolute victory
for the people and the removal Of the
corporation bosses from power in that
state. He said he was in this fight to
the bitter end, and that the people
of South Dakota would destroy the
political boss and the corporation boss
just as they had in Wisconsin and in
Minnesota.
1t was one OF the most powerful and
convincing speeches ever heard in
Canton, and the burning bolts of
truth found a responsive echo in the
heart Of nearly all in that big audi
ence. He spoke for two hours and
five minutes, and when the meeting
closed hundreds congratulated him
and the reception turned into a veri-
table ovation.

Byron e. Pay q resident of Brook
ings County for many years, died at
his home in Volga Monday morning
quite suddenly.
He was an old Dakotan, having
crossed the territory to Fort Pierre in
1854, where he remained for some
time. He returned to Minnesota and
served In a Minnesota regiment dur
ing the civil war, after which he re-
turned to Brookings county and has
lived there v since.
The writer first met MI. Pay when
he was sergeant-at-arms of the house
OF representatives at Yankton in Dec
ember 1872. Byron was q strong sup
porter OF Frank Pettigrew who was
elected to the legislature in 1872, and
had his seat contested by DR.. Roberts
OF Sioux Falls. The fight was q bitter
one and Frank was finally unseated.
After this legislative decision Mr..
Pettigrew refused to leave his seat,
claiming that the action of the house
was illegal. Gen. Ed McCook, secre-
tary and acting Governor at that
time, came into the house and order
ed Byron to put Pettigrew out OF the
seat.
Byron wasn't much more than
half as big as McCook, but every inch
q fighter, looked McCook In the eye
and responded: "Put him out your
self you s. d. q. b." McCOOk walked
away and Mr.. Pettigrew remained In
his seat until the end Of the days
session.
That was the session in which Bill
Mckay figured so prominently. Bill had
helped to hang . couple Of horse
thieves the year before and he and
seven others one Of which was Jim
Somers, were brought to Yanktor
Tor . hearing before Judge Brookings.
O. B. orion, who was district attor.
ney then, and generally full Of booze
on al important occasions, appeared
for the Territory. He got hold OF .
law book and tried TO read II upside
down, but could not distinguish the
difference. He couldn't lind the Law
needed and In shere disgust he turned
70 Judge Brookings and said. "Hell,
