Recently a school house was
burned in Sioux Falls, fortunate
ly not during school hours. 1t
seems the children in the Sioux
Falls schools are very we'll up in
the fire drill, the Central school
being recently emptied of $50
pupils in just one minute, the
children having no means of know
ing but that the alarm meant a
real fire. This has been beaten
here at the Northern Normal,
about the same member of pupils
leaving the building in 40 seconds
after the alarm was sounded,
those in the model school going
first and the other departments
in a prearranged order. Wheth-
er any system or fire drill is in
vogue in the city schools or not
the writer has been unable to
learn at this writing, but will
make it a subject for future in
vestigation.

The reform wave that is
sweeping the country, at the
present time, its crest seems to
be about Des Moines, Iowa, may
sweep away the party caucus
and the circle from our so-called
Australian ballot. They have
both too long served base parti-
san purposes. Iowa, under the
lead of Governor Cummins, is
fighting agood fight for ballot re-
form and the enlarged power of
the voter which must result from
the establishment of the primary
system. It is to be hoped that
the power of her good example
may be felt in South Dakota
when our own legislature again
assemblies.

DIED WITH HIS CHUM.
A Deed of Heroism That Stirred an
Entire Army.

Entire Army.
In the "reminiscences Of General Sir
EVELYN Wood, himself Il brave English
soldier, a touching instance Of courage
and self sacrifice is given. One June
day in 1885 a detachment Of English
marines was crossing the Woronzow
road under fire from the Russian bat
terles. All Of the men reached shelter
in the trenches except a seaman, John
Blewitt. AS he was running a terrific
roar was heard. His mates knew the
voice of a huge cannon, the terror OF
the army, and yelled:
Look out! 1t is Whistllng Dick"
But at the moment Blewitt was
struck by the enormous mass Of iron
Oh the knees and thrown to the ground.
He called to his special chum:
ooh, WEIGH, save me"
The fuse was kissing, but Stephen
Welch ran out of the trenches and,
Selling the great shell, tried to roll it
off his comrade.
1t exploded with such terrific force
that not an atom Of the bodies Of
Blewitt and WEIGH was found. Even In
that time when each hour had It's e1-
element this deed of heroism stirred
the whole English army. One Of the
officers searched out Welch's old moth
er In her poor home and undertook her
support while she lived, and the story
Of his death helped his comrades to
nobler conceptions Of a soldiers duty.

The manly letter of Ex-Sena-

The manly letter of Ex-Sena-
tor Sherwood of Clark displays
a spirit which, if it animated
more of the leaders of the repub-
lican party in this state, would
make it hopelessly impregnable.
Mr.. Sherwood would reunite,
strengthen and make decent his
party. Those whom he feels
called upon to rebuke are the fell
lows who will widen the breach
and drive into our camp the very
flower of the republican party.
We still feel deeply grateful to
this same element for driving to
us in '96 men who have ever since
been numbered among the most
forceful and loyal in the party.
The words of Mr. Sherwood will
certainly fall on deaf ears, for
the gangsters whom the gods
intend to destroy have under
gone the process preliminary to
destruction. Another big in
sta1lment of the states best citi-
zenship is about due to come our
way. The glad hand Of fellow
ship is extended.

The New Alignment

There is a new alignment Of
the political forces of the country
that is rapidly becoming plain
enough to enable even the waver-
ing and the doubtful to see clear
ly where they belong. The line
of cleavage runs athwart the
two great parties. On the
one side is the 'standpatter"
and on the other the square
dealer.' To the writer's way
of viewing it, those coming under
the latter classification compose
the larger element of the demo-
cratic party, while the reverse,
as yet, seems true of the repub1i-
a party.
Democrats like German, Bel
mont and some others can line up
most beautifully with Elkins,
Aldrich and Spooner. The
alignement is new but the issue
is as old as Runnymead-with
the modern barons against the
people. The lords of special
privilege, relying upon vested
rights, line up their henchmen
on one side; the people, resent
ing encroachment upon inalien-
able rights, not yet free of doubt
and misgiving, somewhat dis
trustful of new allies and regret
ing the breaking of old ties, are,
nevertheless, resolutely array
ing for the struggle,
The cry of the standpatter to
let we'll enough alone means no
readjustment of tariff inequali-
ties; no invasion of the domain of
private monopoly; immunity to
grafters whose opportunities are
given them in payment for parti-
san services; no imquirment of
boss rule or power of rings by the
passage of primary laws which
place a dangerous weapon in the
hands of the voters.
Roosevelt's cry for a square
deal for every man means ex-
actly what Jefferson's call,
Equal rights for all and special
privilege to none," meant. A
square deal was the contention
of democrats under Andy Jack
son and populists who followed
Andy Lee.
