Popular Authority Not Autocracy.

From the Philadelphia Press
The whole trend, not only in this coun-
try, but among all the civilized powers
is against and not toward autocracy.
Everywhere Il is the power of the people
and not of dictatorship that is increasing.
No one has anywhere seen in the last half
century such personal aggrandizement as
developed from time to time In the earlier
periods. The Inasterful ruler who ac-
quired great ascendency succeeds IN gain
ing his commanding influence only be-
cause he wins the confidence and support

Milwaukee, Tram Serylce.

and Chicago Will be inaugurated on sun

morning about eight O'Clock
Z. Is. Wiser, Milwaukee commercial
agent at Rapid City, returned last even
ing from Chicago, where he had been
attending a conference Of the head otii
cl tls OF the road for consideration OF the
new service. Speaking of the new sche-
dule, Mr.. Wiser said ~ a representative
oi this paper:
"lt is the intention to begin our
through passenger service on sunday,
December |. The train will arrive in
the morning from Chicago, and viii con.
sist of sleeper, first class day coach,
smoker, baggage and express, and a mali
car. A first class, vestibuled, steam
heated, gas lighted train viii be used In
the service. The train Will lay over
here duuug the day and leave Rapid
City for Chicago at $50 every evening
in the week. The sleeper Will be cut of
at Mitchell, and run to Sioux CITY, by
way of Yankton and Nermillion. How
ever another sleeper will be attached to
the train from the Hills at Mitchell
which will be run through to Chicago.
The train equipment, other than the
sleeper, will run through from Rapid
City to Chicago without change, going
through by way of Canton, this state,
aud Mason City, Iowa.
I'VE will have IA mixed, accommoda-
ton train leaving this city sometime
between seven and eight O'Clock and one
arriving in the evening at about eight
o'clock.
eve originally intended to have the
train from the east TO arrive in this city
in the evening and leave here in the
morning, but when that plan was fully
considered we came to the conclusion
that the other way was better for Rapid
City. BY having the train arrive here
in the morning, people in the towns and
ranchers along the line east can come to
Rapid City in the morning, remain here
all day to transact their business and do
their shopping. and return TO their
homes in the evening. Then our ac'
commodation train out of here in the
morning will give Rapid City people an
opportunity to get ont along the line
east and return that evening. Rapid
