That aver the democrats do not
stand for heaist methods is shown in
the New York election by the fact
that while Hearst was defeated prac-
tically the entire democratic ticket
vas elected. Mr.. Hearst announced
that even though defeated he would
continue his fight against the trusts
and corporations. This ! 8 one propo-
sition that the people Of New York
think he is not sincere in andto some
extent this same feeling brought
about the defeat. New York people
realize that Mr.. Hearst's newspapers
are nothing more than a corporation.
Then people in the Black Ellis
country, OF this state, are also fully
aware that the biggest corporation
in the northwest Is the Homestake
Mining 20. This company is owned
by Mr.. Hearst's mother and Mr..
Hearst draws, undoubtedly, from the
%accretions Of this corporation, and
gets a part of his sinews of war from
a corporation. His close association
with corporations in this way makes
the people distrustful of his earnest
ness In fighting them.

The pipe dream that the democrats
in this state are having that they
have secured such a large 1epresen-
tation in the legislature has been
put out by the statement from the
republican headquarters showing
absolutely that the opposition has
not secured to exceed IL members on
joint ballot, and these seventeen are
equally divided, or nearly so, be-
tween the house and the senate.
The fact that they have a little
larger representation in either
branch Goes not afford them much
encouragement for the future, as
they have really got back Just a
little nearer to where they we're four
years ago.

that there is little comfort for Presi-

Mr.. Bryan thinks that the election

will drop in the pathway of himself
for his presidential aspirations. We
doubt very much If Mr.. Bryan can
count to any great extent on secur-
ing any hope from the election that
will be of any assistance to him for

that he is the very individual who

The case OF II. E. Mayhem, who
resides on a farm near Letcher,
illustrates what "a man can do If he
wants to leave politics alone. Mr..
Mayhem, it will be remembered,
was the auditor of South Dakota
eight years ago, and retired from
the position after one tern Of Office.
His retirement from Office in his
case meant actual retirement from
politics, and since that time Mr.. May

News, has been doing business for
himself on a big scale. He has been
acquiring land in the past eight
years and has just disposed Of

land outside of bis farm home
valued at sl4, 600. Mr. Mayhem is one
Of South Dakota's good citizens and

state Office. We are indeed glad to
learn that Mr.. Mavhew is so eros
porous and we trust that the coming
years hold just as good fortune for
bin as the past.

Catholic priest at Wolsey Friday
and shot up the train, terrorizing
the people, vas permitted to 60 free

The priest, it is stated, declined to

but that was no reason fer the

permit the laws of the state to be
trampled under fout by a lot of
burly niggers. If q instance of
this kind is permitted TO be passed

The Hartford Courant makes a
pretty dispassionate dissection Of
William R. Hearst since he has
emerged from the New York cam
paign and insists from a republican
standpoint that he is not done for.
The Courant exploits Mr. Hearst
thus in order to make it plain that
Hearst is a character to be counted
in the future politics of New York
in order to make the republic
cans more watchful. The Courant
finds that when Judge Parker vas
defeated in 1904 he was done for
politically, and the Judge vas what
is called a conservative democrat.
Mr.. Bryan: although defeated In
1896 was again made the candidate
Of the party in 1900, and the Courant
wants to know .'How does it happen
that the conservative Parker conced-
edly could have had only one chance
at the presidency OF the United
States, while the radical Bryan has
had two chances, and, until Mr..
Hearst received the democratic NOM
ination for governor OF New York,
was In the fairest way to receive
a third?'' The Cou1ant answers its
own question by saying "that demo-
cracy is moving forward today under
radical emotions, under a radical i'm
| pulse, and on a radical grade" The
democratic party is successful,
according to the Courant. for the
! reason tina in the year of its success
it has but n major idea and when
it possesses any more than that it
merely marks time to the BALLOTS
that are deposited and besides it's
times. Notwithstanding showing
that there is much of Hearstism
left in New York state today, the
Courant believes that he is a
dangerous man.

The POrcupine's QuiIIs.

The splnes are very loosely attached
TO the porcupine, and they are very
sharp-as sharp as II needle ut the
outer end At almost the slightest
touch they penetrate the nose of dog
or the clothing or flesh of person
touching the porcupine and stick there,
coming away from the animal without
any pull being required. The facility
In catching hold with one end and let
ting go with the other has sometimes
caused people to think that the spines
bad been thrown at them. The outer
end of the spines, for some distance
down, is covered with small barbs
These barbs cause a spine once imbed-
ded In living animal to keep working
farther in with every movement OF the
muscles, so that it is not pleasant
thing to get stuck full of them.

When Paris WINS Dirty.

1t takes the labors of 1000 to keep
the city of Paris clean today, but in
times past that capital did not care so
much about the matter and was not
always pleasing to look upon. In 134S
King John of France made the request
that Parisians should not allow their
pigs to roam the streets. Charles VI.

tice of throwing rubbish into the Seine
made it n great horror and an abom-
ination to look upon" Until the sew
teenth century everybody who could
went about Paris on horseback in order
to avoid contact with the filth of the
streets. Various ordinances were made
to compel the people to sweep the road
before their own doors, but it was not
until 1791 that the dust cart became an
institution.

A Good Horses Color.

A good horse cannot be bad color
1t is said. 1t is certain that Derby
winners are not drawn from certain
colors. Uas gray ever won the race
or dun or skewbald or piebald?
Has there ever been a thoroughbred Of
the latter type? Quite black thorough
breds are rare, white still more So
gray uncommon even among the less
exalted of public performers. The
Stud Book" would not bear out these
statements where colors uncommon on
the race course are described. The ex-
PLANTATION is, of course, that the horse
is there described as he appeared as n
foal. An owner of a bay thoroughbred
looked up the Stud Book to find his
purchase pictured as chestnut and
complained to the men of whom he
had bought the horse. The former
owner assured him that the descrip-
ton was correct at the time it was en-
tered. Other owners, less certain as 10
what color may appear when the first
coat has been cast have before now
made such singular entries as gray,
roam or chestnut. st James Gazette

In the cities of Burma, where the
natives have been long in contact with
Europeans. says the author of Bur
ma, Painted and Described" they have
lost some of their traditional polite
ness, but in the country districts old
school courtesy IS still the custom. An
English gentleman who had bought n
new pony was trying him out on a
Burman road when the animal bolted
and ran Mt top speed down a narrow
road. In the way ahead was ii native
cart, in which was a family party out
holiday making. The pony dashed into
the back of the cart threw his rider
into the midst of the merrymakers and
severely injured the Burman who was
driving. Before the Englishman had
an opportunity to explain his uneXpect
ed onslaught the Burman picked him
self up and bowed low. my lord,

cart should not have been there"
