MANY NEW BUILDINGS
FOR STATE FAIR GR0lIMnc

Huron, S. D., July 19.-The construc-
ton of new buildings at the state fair
grounds is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. An army of workmen are
busy and the place presents marvellous
activity. The big stock pavilion is well
under way, as are also the two stock
barns and other smaller buildings.
The Y. M. G. A. dining hall will be
commenced in a few days. It will have
q seating capacity of 500. A Mime
apolis firm will erect an asbestos ex-
hibition hall and Dodd & Struther. Of
Des Moines, are erecting a building for
exhibition Inc demonstration purposes.
The woman's building Is well under
way and when completed will be n
of the finest constructions for the pur-
pose intended in this country.
The board of agriculture was in ses-
sion here yesterday, spending most OF
the time on the fair grounds, Inspecting
buildings and planning for further
work. 1t Is intended that the buildings
and grounds will be lighted by electric
ity, a special plant being installed for
the purpose. Applications for space are
coming in rapidly, the number greatly
exceeding expectations.

IS NOT CONSISTENT
Mr.. sRYAN'S ATTITUDE As TO

Leader" Broke Away from
Majority Rule.

Mr.. Bryan wants to know why those
Democrats who are now repudiating
the Denver platform did not take the

are bound by 1t. 1t is a nice ques-
ton. and far reaching.
The probability is that. whatever
they may have thought, the south
ern men implicated paid no attention
at all to the national platform In their
campaigns. There was no need for
them to do SO. They had, and used.
all that was necessary in their baili-
wicks-the party label. Whether they
were consenting to the terms of the
party's deliverance was of no mo-
ment. There was no opposition to be
overcome. The result at the polls
was settled in advance. So the Dem
ocratic candidates had only to ask for
votes for themselves and for Mr..
Bryan.
But how does Mr.. Bryan support
his proposition that a candidate has
the right to repudiate his party's ma
tional platform before election? 1t is
In that way he justifies his repudia-
ton of the state bank tax matter con-
tained in the Democratic national
platform OF 1892. The Democrats OF
his district differed on that issue with
the national sentiment of the party.
and he stood with his constituents in
the campaign. and later, voted their
views in the house

Mr.. Bryan, simply because he had al

TO set up on a national issue in oppo-
sition to any feature of the party's
national pronouncement when that
came? Was the Democracy of the
second Nebraska district greater than
the national Democracy? 1t was I'm
Mr.. Bryan's eyes. but push that prop.
osition to its logical ultimate and
where do we land?
The old debate between the pot and
the Kettle will never end. While old
1t is always interesting. and, while
mirth is provoked. instruction is al
ways conveyed. Much force attaches
to what Mr.. Bryan is now saying.
Those men who subscribed even by
silence TO the Denver platform. and
particularly those who assented TO II
as members OF the committee that
reported It for adoption by the con-
vention, should have stood for it, I'm
the hour of legislative trial. If they
were not bound. IL is impossible to
bind men by party deliverance; and
the further road is party disruption
and chaos
AS to whether Mr.. Bryan is the
proper man to apply censure is an
other question. When the majority is
with him he lays great stress on ma
)ority rule. Remember what he said
about the Democrats who refused 10
be bound in 1896 and 1900? When the
majority is against him-as I'm the
state bank tax matter I'm 1s92-he
goes with the minority, and glories

the rank OF colonel.
Like Gen. Miles, Macarthur is not a
graduate Of West Point. In fact. he
had no opportunity to receive the in.
struction of the government military
academy. for he began his military
lessons on the battlefield at the age
when most boys ordinarily enter the
institution. He has been fighter all
his life and has had n military train.
Ing such as few men in the army
have been able to obtain.
Gen. Macarthur was born In Sprin
field, Mass. June 2. 1S45. His father
was the late Judge Macarthur OF the
