"That both the friends and the ene
mies of Mr. Petligrew may know the
truth The Presa seta forth the follow
ing facta to those wfcc may care to
know them:
-L. Mr. Pettigrew's position oa all
political caettion is exactly where it
was during the last sesaloa of the
senate. Daring tte summer he will
deliver aa address at Tacoma Park,
near Aberdeen, in which he will make
aa argument for the government own
erth!p of railroads, citing the recent
consolidation of rtilroad properties as
aa of the strongest reasons for his
position.
He gave no interview in St.
Pail, or anywhere else, denouncing
democracy ia any way. He is entirely
la accord with the principles of the St.
Louis platform, as far aa they go. He
Is opposed to a reorganization of the
democratic party by which what ia
bow termed 'Bryaaiam would be elim
inated. X He la entirely ia accord with the
principles of the populist party, aa
enunciated ia the Sioux Fall platform.
II regarda the reforms demanded by
the people's party as right, and will
support them aa Tigorcualy aa he
knows how.
He would not accept the sena
torahip from a republican legislature,
with the enderstanding that he would
be expected to go into republican sen
atorial caucusea and support the prin
ciples of Hanxxa aad McKinley.
S. Ha intends to lire and die a
citixea of South Dakota and he baa
sever said to any man. friend or en
emy, that he would be a candidate

tesatorthip. He ia devoting absolute
ly none of his time to politics. He is
engaged entirely with his business af
fairs, Improving his property aad giv
ing it his personal attention to make
it aa productive aa possible. He could
have located outside of South Dakota
had he desired to do so. with aa ex
cellent outlook from a financial stand
point. By this statement The Press
&ea not wish to be understood as in
timating that he has beea offered a
position as legal adviser or as the ex
ecutive, head of any railroad corpora
tion." There has been no end to the wild
yarns sent out by the Associated presa
during the last few weeks concerning
the senator, bet this plain statement
ought to set the matter at rest.

POPULISM IN ENGLAND
The Kdltore of Some of the Great Flnanci1
Organs ef Looden mrm Turning
Populist
The following article from one of the
leading journals of finance in London,
ia every word that it says and in every
principle enunciated could be dupli
cated from populist papers in this
country during the last five or six
years. How often have populists iter
ated and reiterated the statement that
a government bond was a first mort
gage upon the property of every man?
The London financier goes farther
than the populists ever went and even
hints at repudiation, a thing that no
genuine populist ever advocated. The
article is printed just as it appeared.
The pounds can be reduced to dollars
by multiplying by five and the pence
to cents by multiplying by two. Read
the article and see if this London
financier has not "at last assimilated
the populist financial theories.
The loans so lightly "raised by the
market," subscribed by financiers and
peddled out to investors, mean mort
gages on the nation's labor, that and
seldom aught besides. Already our
South Africa campaigns have added
127.000.000 to our national debt. Be
fore all is over the addition Is likely to
exceed 200,000,000. As It stands, the
Increase at an all-round 3 per 'cent
means 3.800,000 per annum added to
the interest charges which the workers
of the nation must every year spare.
Put the net burden at 3,750.000 only,
and leave out of account the 4,000,000
or so of capital we as a people have
undertaken to pay back over and above
what we receive upon this latest addi
tion to the c-ortgages our masters have
placed tipoa our muscles and brains,
and it means that to this extent the
poor will be made poorer, less able to
lift up their heads and cry "We are
free. Assume that tea millions of the
inhabitants of these islands are en
gaged in earning their dally bread, and
that the average earnings of these
people is 52 per annum, or 1 per
week, the Interest on this debt takes
seventy-five million shlllngs from their
earnings every year, or more than lUd
per worker per week. Still, a trifle by
itself you say; but straws are mere
trifles until the back breaks. More
over, the average earnings of the peo
ple who work in this country, in aa
probability, do not come to 35 per
anmm.
"From this point of vlei, the busi
ness of debt manufacture without a
people's knowledge in great degree
without its consent is unlovely
enough, often a lothsome fraud; and
there must come a great revolt against
the practice some day either that or
a world-wide debt repudiation. Pity
it is that before debts are incurred
above all before wars that breed debts
are entered upon nations cannot be
appealed to direct, every adult in
them, on the question at Issue: "If you
approve of this war please say Yes,'
and add the amount you are prepared
to contribute towards the cost." "Bor
rowing of this money will add so much
to your taxation so please signify your
assent and your readiness to submit
to an addition of 2d., 6d Is., as the
case may be, to your income tax in
order to meet the increased debt
charges." On a system like this we
should hare no wars and precious lit
tle room for the great financiers," oth
erwise world's wealth absorbers.
"Ours Is the happy go-hang-care
method, purely selfish, and absolutely
fatal in the end to a nation s freedom
and true greatness. So long as each
added load can be in a great measure
Cong off our shoulders we care nought
for the country's future, and less if
possible for the effects of the policy of

Investors Review (London).
What It Means
In an Interview in New York City
former Senator Charles A. Towne of
Minnesota expressed his belief that the
decision In the Porto Rico case means
that the republicans will attempt to
elect McKlnley for a third term; and it
also means "an attempt to concrete
imperialism within the next four
years."
Sir. Towne sees in the course of the
McKinley administration, backed as it
seems to be by the decision In the
Porto Rico case, a menace to the re
publican form of government In this
country. Says he: "The efforts of the
republican party have been to make
tho presidency a semi-monarch, and I
believe that this decision, if it turns
out favorably to the administration,
will help them make it an absolute
monarch.'
UNENDING COMPLICATIONS
Citizens of Oklahoma, New Mexico and
Arizona Can't Ceme Into the States and
Vote They are Without a Country
Editor Independent: Will the ef
fect of the recent decision of the Unit
ed States supreme court on the Porto
RIcan cases end in "our new posses
sions?" Will it not change the status
of millions of people who have hither
to been citizens, of the United States
and whose rights under the constitu
tion have been unquestioned?
It would seem, according to the de
cision, that Arizona, New Mexico, and
Oklahoma, were also outside the Unit
ed States, and while their inhabitants
are not foreigners, they are not citi
zens of the United States, but are peo
ple without a country. Moreover they
can become citizens only by congress
granting statehood to them, for provi
sion is made for uaruralizing only
foreigners, and according to the deci
sion they are not foreigners. So a man
over 21 years of age, born in New Mex
ico, and moving to the states, and re
siding in his adopted state the required
length of time, is not a legal voter
for he is not a citizen of the United
States.
Don't you think, Mr. Editor, in order
to show to the people the utter folly
and infamy of the decision, it would be
a good move for those who believe in
constitutional government and human
liberty to make a test case by chal
lenging at the next election the vote of
one who otherwise would be entitled
to vote and whose right hitherto has
been unquestioned. Who, being born
in New Mexico, Arizona or Oklahoma,
according to the majority of the mem
bers of the United States supreme
court, was born outside the United
States, outside the constitution, and,
like the "nigger" in the famous and
Infamous Dred Scott decision, has no
rights which we are bound to respect.

TOLSTOI SPEAKS
He Says That Men Who Try to L,1ts aa
Their Consciences Dictate are Treated
Like Rabid Animals
Many persons have been wondering
what had become of Tolstoi, as noth-
4ng had been heard from him since it
was reported that he had been ban
ished from the Russian dominions. It
is not certain where he is, although a
recent article by him seems to locate
him in Moscow. In this statement,
among other things, he says:
"Everybody must admit that the law
system of every country is bad, but
legal tyranny is nevertheless enforced
everywhere with the sanction of the
most enlightened citizens, and with the
help of guns and bayonets when neces
sary. "Now, suppose, a man like myself,
who Is opposed to letting churches
poison the public mind and teach sorc
ery etc., should refuse in France to pay
taxes, millions whereor are appropri
ated for paying Catholic priests, Pro
testant ministers and Jewish rabbis
For refusing thus to help toward state
support of a glaring evil this man
would be jailed.
"Suppose the millions of United
States citizens who are opposed to the
horrors of the Philippines and Chinese
wars should deny their money toward
paying the cost of these abominations.
The majority would immediately in
voke the law and summon the militia
and treat their conscientious scruples
as open rebellion.
"Today men are attempting to live
according to their own Ideas or con
science and simply cannot. At the
first attempt they would be racked
from country to country like rabid
animals. Note the case of the Duk
hobortsi, who were driven from Rus
sia because, wishing to obey the scrip
tural injunction, 'Thou shalt not kill
refused to do military service."
Another passage of Tolstoi's letter
refers to the work of the press in ad
vancing social evolution. The Russian
philosopher recognizes it as a powerful
agency, because, as he says:
"Though newspaper reading is a
wasteful way to acquire education, any
way of educating the people is better
than to let them rot In ignorance. But
it is sad to contemplate now badly that
splendid instrument, the public press,
operates all over the world. In Rus
sia the press is muzzled and craven; in
Germany it is unintelligently ponder
ous, foolishly occupied in the petty
politics of the hour to the detriment
of social questions; in France it is
talented but generally-corrupt, except
as to a few socialistic organs which
are battling for more social justice; in
England the press is almost entirely
under the thumb of the big banks and
great capitalist companies.
In the United States, where, I am
told, absolute independence prevails,
much which is excellent Is deluged
with trash, dumped before its readers
day after day to satisfy their ravenous
but indiscriminate appetites. Love of
the picturesque seems to have been
completely stifled in American editors'
consciences. For example, - I doubt
whether any single man sufficiently
gifted to occupy an editorial chair can
regard so-called Christian science oth
erwise than, a baneful revival of me
diaeval ignorance; yet your papers
treat the thing seriously and describe
its 'miracles, and alleged 'revelations.
all of which is calculated to promote
religious hysteria and encourage mil
lions of weak-minded creatures to fol
low the despicable movement."
INCOMPETENT OFFICERS
A Reorganization of McKinley's Army
Demanded Because the Officers Can't
Enforce Discipline
The war department is presenting
sufficient evidence to convict them in
any intelligent court. The only ques
tion is as to the validity of the testi
mony. If it is correct a new reorgan
ization of the army and a general
dismissal for incompetency is abso
lutely demanded. The reported lack
of discipline is a disgrace to the army
and to the nation that tolerates it and
puts us to open shame in the eyes of
the world. In order to make a case
against the anti-canteen law the war
department has encouraged a system
atic falsification of facts and a gross
exaggeration of actual conditions that
if true should , make the authorities
blush with shame for their inability
to administer discipline among a few
hundred soldiers at any army post.
If the officers allow such stories to go
forth with their connivance and with
out denial they should be summarily
court-martialed for their incompeten
cy. And a secretary of war who would
allow such conditions to exist with
out calling the incompetent officers to
account disgraces his high office and
should be promptly dismissed. If we
can't have our soldier boys under bet
ter discipline than is represented, of
what use is such an army?- Good only
to terrorize women and children and
disgust peaceable citizens.. The war
department should put on sack cloth
and ashes and bow in humiliation and
shame before the civilized world in
view of the condition of affairs it has
encouraged its sycophants to place be
fore the people, showing. If true, the
most disgraceful lack .of discipline and
the greatest official Incompetency ever
witnessed in the army of a civilized
nation. Captain Brandt of Des Moines
truly says: "It" is all a matter of or
ders. Let the commander issue the
proper orders once and you will see
things straightened out mighty quick.
It depends' on the officers. No army
officer w J 11 admit that his commands
cannot be obeyed or will not be. If
my order is not obeyed I can call on
two men, five men, a hundred men, a
regiment, to force obedience if neces
sary. The officers are responsible."
Very true; and now the intelligent peo
ple of America will come to the ine
vitable conclusion, either that the sen
sational stories published in the daily
papers are fakes, or that, if true, they
show such remarkable inefficiency in
our army posts as to call for a gen
eral official reorganization from top to
bottom. The Yeoman.
The disgraceful drunken rows that
have been reported from Fort Sheri
dan and other places may not be all the
fault of the officers. McKinley's new
army Is largely made up of bums from
the cities. It is a well-known fact
that the true manhood of America re
fused to enlist for a war of conquest
especially the farmer boys would have
nothing to do with it. The men may
be of such a class that it is impossible
to make decent soldiers out of them. .
Waking Up
Sound and sane men everywhere', In
the business world and in the economic
and sociological departments of the
universities, have been sending forth
notes of warning very frequently of
late. The Independent has frequently
called attention to the effort to capit
alize all our industries upon the earn
ings of a favorable year and pointed
that it was an impossibility to so or
ganize in trusts that capital would get
from two to three times as much as it
ever got before from the creations of
wealth, by the simple means of cap
italizing industrial plants for from a
bundred per cent to five hundred per
cent more than their real value. These
facts are beginning to dawn on some
of the mullet-head editors. The Eldo
rado Republican (Kas.) had the fol
lowing remarks to make upon the sub
ject a few days ago: ;
"When the cold wave comes and It
will come; when financial distress hits
every business man in the land and
it will hit; when the seven lean kine
are turned loose and they will be
turned all the blooming idiots who
have blown their millions and billions
into these balloon trusts will be an
nihilated as quickly as a doll paper
house In a Texas tornado; while the
distress to be brought upon the coun
try will cause if not a revolution
something very nearly approaching
one. Judgment day will come to all
these biliion-dollar hot . air schemes
and It will come with a force and pow
er thai will shake the financial world
from end to end; and the fortunes that
will be swallowed up will be counted
by billions. We have had panics be-

Fruit of Despotism
"When a nation led to greatness by
the hand of liberty, and possessed of
the glory that heroism, munificence,
and humanity can bestow, descends to
the ungrateful task of forging chains
for her friends and children, and, in
stead of giving support to freedom,
turns advocate for slavery and oppres
sion, there is reason to suspect she has
either ceased to be virtuous or been ex
tremely negligent in the appointment
of her rulers."
- The above are the words of the open
ing paragraph of the address to the
British people by the first continental
congress in October 21, 1774, and
breath the revolutionary spirit. They
were penned by John Jay, afterward
the chief justice of the supreme court
of the United States. It is another
statement of principles by the revolu
tionary fathers by which the present
administration is condemned mercen
ary conquest, oppression, and tyranny.

were directed brought forth fruit. And

REPUBLICAN STATESMEN
They are of m Sort That the World Never

The real leader of the republican
party is Mark Hanna a man without
refinement, culture or any experience
in legislation. He never addressed an
audience on a subject of public im

knowledge of history, forms of govern
ment and of law is almost nothing
not more than that of the average
high school boy of sixteen.
Then there is Beveridge. He has
somewhat more of culture, and was
chosen as the administration's repre
sentative of the new found doctrine of
imperialism. His manner is bombastic
and his attempts at reasoning the most
ridiculous ever exhibited in the senate.
Senator Hoar pointed out that when
the argument was made that all men
were equal before the law and that all
governments derived their just powers
from the consent of the governed, that
Beveridge replied by exhibiting a nug
get of gold which he said had been
found in a creek In the Philippines.
But the most perfect type of this
modern sort of statesman is Grosvenor.
He is the administration's special rep
resentative on the floor of the house.
WTien Depew's nomination of McKin
ley for a third term was presented to
him, he replied as follows:
"There has been no time In our his
tory when conditlons'would so" justify
the election of a president to a third
term as In the case of McKinley. Mc
Kinley Is personally the most popular
president we have had In a long time,
and he has certainly most creditably
performed the duties of his high office.
I think it is time, furthermore, to de
molish the fiction that there Is an un
written law established by Washington
that the president of the United States
may not accept a third term. The facts
are, as any student of the times may
discover, that it was fear of defeat
which impelled Washington to decline
a third nomination. Being a federalist,
he was the object of very, violent at
tacks on the part of the democrats of
his day, and recognizing the growing
strength of his opponents he doubted,
as I believe, his ability to again secure
an election if he should run."
If one examines those words, several
things cannot fail to attract attention.
The most prominent thing about it Is
an exhibition of one of the lowest and
most disgusting of the fawning syco
phant. Such men have hung to the
skirts of power in all ages. The con
tempt of the historians has been
poured out upon them. The next ap
parent thing is his ignorance of the
history of his own country. In de
fiance of all history, he solemnly de
clares that Washington refused the
nomination for a third term" because he
knew that he could not be elected and
not for any of the reasons that Wash
ington assigned for retiring to private
life. It takes a good deal of ignor
ance as well as "cheek" for a congress
man to declare that Washington was
a falsifier, but this modern republican
statesman had enough of both to im
pell him to make the statement. Now
that McKinley has positively declined
to be considered a candidate for a third
term, it will be In order for this syco
phant to declare that McKinley is
greater than Washington in that he
could have been elected to a third term
and then declined.
Of. such stuff as this are made the
modern republican statesmen.
V The Little Country Paper.
It's just a little paper it Isn't up to
date; .
It hasn't any supplement or colored
fashion plate. .
It comes out every Friday, unless the
forms are pied; ,
The outside is home-printed; with
boiler-plate Inside.
It hasn't any cable direct from old
Bombay,
But it says that "Colonel Braggins is
in our midst today."
It doesn't seem to worry about affairs
of state,
But it tells that "Joseph Hawkins has
v painted his front gate."
It never mentions Kruger or Joseph
Chamberlain, , , ,
But says that "Thompson's grocery
has a new window pane."
And that "the Mission Workers will
give a festival,
"And there'll be a temperance lecture
in William Hooper's hall." '
It tells about the measles that Jimmy
Hankins had
And says that Israel Johnson "has be
come a happy dad." ' Vl'f
It says that "cider making is-shortly
to commence,' .y.'
And cites the fact that! Ira Todd is
building a newpence.
It mentions Dewey's coming In one
brief partugraph, '
And says "thal;f Charlie Trimble has
sold a pearling calf."
And everything 1 that happens within

Survivtl of ths Fittest
In northern znes the raging bear
Protects himself! with fat and hair.
Where snow ii deep, and ice is stark,
And half the fear is cold and dark.
He still survives ia clime like that
By growing fiir; py growing fat.
These traits, Q tear, which thou trans-
mittest, f j - f . v.
Prove the surtlval of the fittest.

To polar reglqmij, waste and wan,
Comes the encroaching race of man;
A puny, feeble little lubber, -
He had no furi he had no blubber.
The scornful Usi.r sat down at ease
To see the stringer starve and freeze;
But lo! the strslager slew, the bear.
And ate his fat, and wore his hair!
These deeds,
man, which thou corn
mittest,
Prove the sur
eal of the fittest
In modern tim9 the millionaire
Protects himsejf as did the bear.
Where poverty! s.nd hunger are
He counts his b ullion by the car.
Where thousands suffer still he thrives.
The wealth, O CVoesus, thou transmit-
test - 4 ' . -;
Prove the surv tal of the fittest.

But, lo! some people odd and funny,
Some men witout a cent of money.
The simple, cojtamon Human Race,
Chose to improtrfc the dwelling place. ;
They had no for millionaires;
They calmly said jthe world was theirs,
They were so le;, so strong, so many,
The millionaire? IThere wasn't any! ;

Prove the survival of the fittest,
