T. A. Sheehan a successful independent
from Union county was in town Baturday
and called at THE LEAIDER office. It is
perhaps needless to say he was welcome
if for no other reason than the fact that
the editor of this paper has long had a
curiosity to see one of the Union county
independents who were candidates for
office last fall. According to the repub
lican papers down there, we would have
looked for a homely animal with four legs,
long hair hanging to the ground, long
ugly horns, and clumsl'y, elephantine feel,
much more resembling the devil fresh
from hadese .than a half-decent human
being. This being the editors idea of the
typical Union county independent, he
was much surprised at the good-looking,
well dressed, well appearing and intelli
gent being in the person of Mr. Sheehan,
the recently elected superintendent of
schools of his county. Mr. Sheehan
would be welcome here again and all
other Union county independents with
him.
EQUAL SUFFRAGE WOES.
The State Association Reorganized and a Oall for
More Work,
To the noble men who voted, and the
earnest women who worked for the enfran-
J-V- chisment'of women in our late campaign,
A we think you heartily and earnestly, for
continued support until the end reached
for we h.ive only begun this warfare, and
,t fr*1' we will never halt until the prize is won
Filled with this high resolye we can take
c. fresh courage knowing that we have
been made better men nnd womer. for the
work already done—having greater self-
j-. y' respect and a clear comprehension of
lo\ to God and inslice to man.
-1 Our campaign was upon us this year
before a club was formed, or a doilar
pledged and the equal suffrage amend
-w., 'f ment •«.is submitted at a time when there
were thiee political parties in ihe field,
«*f two other amendments to be voted upon,
and also the location of our capital. All
this had a tendency to distract the public
mind from our campaign. Then the word-
ing of the suffrage amendment was
obscure, and confused the voters, conse
quently niany voted against it who de
sired to vote for it. We have been credit
able informed that in some instance tickets
were used where simply the word "No'
appeared after the amendment. Others*
read, "For Women Suffrage,' Against
Women Suffage, Yes." Tickets thus
printed arc not in abcorclrnce with law,
and we aslc the friends in the state every
where to repiort to us all such cases com
ing under their notice, The Equal .Suf
frage association of South Dakota has
been re-organized. A few changes have
been ma,de in our plan of work for the
furture:
1st. Every local club paying annually
the sum pf twenty-five cents per member
to the State Equal Suffrage association
may become auxiliary thereto.
As soon as clubs are reported to us we
will send free a series of lessons on civil
government, .now already prepared for
study also one copy of the International
Council of women.
Write to Mrs. Elizabeth Hammer,
Highmiore, for selections for suffrage con
tests.
2d. Any person signing our constitu
tion and paying $10 into our states treas
ury may become a. life member of the
Equal Suffrage association of South Da
kota.
We earnestly hope that all clubs formed
will retain their organization, and that
the friends of Equal Suffrage will organ
ize other clubs and report the same to us
ii Huron. The work of organizing can
not be pushed too vigorously, and now is
the time to do it. Friend, what will you
do? Will not each one into whoes hands
this circular may fall do something to
start or help along the clubs already organ,
ized in your town or vicinity? Then
when the call, "To Arms," is again sound
ed, we will be found in line thoroughly
equipped for the fray.,

MBS. EILEY'S LEOTDBE.
She Is Bight and Her Suggestions Should Be Pol
lowed.
Mrs/L. A. Eiley, who is a well known
and highly esteemed member of a Kan
sas City church, and a devoted worker
in the different charities, has the follow
ing very kind letter: "Too much cannot
be said in praise of the Housekeeper. It
not only brings brightness and good
cheer into our homes, but meets, as on
other paper of its kind does, all our
varied needs, both as house and home
keepers. The publishers have my best
wishes for continued success
The Housekeeper is published twice
each month, and contains from 10uto 24
pages of the best and most suitable
ni&lter: *The^ publishers would be.,very
much pleased to mail you, for examina
tion, a sample copy, also their 1890-1
premium list, which contains some re
markably good offers, these will cost you
nothing, except the trouble, of sending
your address to "The Housekeeper." Min

Shorter Hoars for Clerks.
Shorter hours far clerks. This is the
word passed along the ranks of organ
ized labor, and approved by a growing
sentiment among employers. With car
penters, bricklayers and every organised
trade demanding the eight hour day it
is certainly time for some measures of
relief to be offered the Chicago salesmen
and saleswomen who work from twelve
to fourteen hours every day.
The advocates of short working hours
make the following declaration of their
idea of a laboring man's day: "Eight
hours for labor, eight hours for recre
ation and-eight hours for sleep." In the
case of Chicago salesmen this division
of the day is not observed. The daily
routine would come nearer the follow
ing: Fourteen hours for labor, eight
hours for deep and two hours for get
ting to and from the store. By this ar
rangement the salesman can devote all
day Sunday to becoming acquainted
with the folks at home, unless he is em
ployed in one of the many establish
ments which persist in keeping open be
tween the hours of 8 a. m. arid noon
each Sunday.
"What our association is opposing in
•particular is the keeping open on Sun
day," said Harry Denny, the president.
"This has become the rule in the big
clothing houses on the west sideband
there is, no good reason for it, as all
stores are kept open late Saturday even-,
ing and every one has a chance to do
necessary trading without compelling
clerks to work seven days in a week."—

Before making a plan instire plenty
of room by a full estimate of capacity.
Ascertain what you want to store and
allow sufficient space. The following
from Country Gentleman will assist
you:
Allow 5 by 14 feet for each hone, 4
by 12 feet for each cow, 20 feet square
or more for tools and machinery, twice
thisspaco for a silo, 600 cubic feet for
each ton of average hay, about or nearly
the same for unthrashed grain, a thrash
ing floor. 12.
to 20 feet wide and extend
ing lengthwise or across the barn, a
granary having a -capacity in cubic feet
equal to about four-fifths of the struck
bushel, and other requirements. The
food required for animals, besides the
usual feeding of grain, would be from
throe to four tons of good hay "for
each horse in six or eight months and
aearly two tons for each cow in five or
'six months. The feeding of ensilage to
each cow will be from one cubic foot to
one and a half cubic feet, or about 250
cubic feet in the five or six months. A
silo for twenty cows should hold 5,000
cubic feet. For storing straw, double
the bulk of hay should be allowed.
BONB-BRUAKINQ CARTS.
The cart used in Northern China
has two heavy wheels, with wooden
axel, no springs and a body about
four feet long and three broad, over
which is a light frame-work top,
covered with blue cotton. Two mules
driven tandem by a carter seated on
the left shaft take it alone at a rate
of about three miles an hour, and one
can make in it an.average of thirty
five miles a day, even over the rough
est country.
It will carry about 300 pounds of
goods and one or even two pasbengers,
and the tighter one is squeezed in
the more Comfortable it wlil prove,
for that, and that alone, will be a
protection from the terrible jolting
ovor the rough country roads.
A Unity Hitlf Swallowed by a Snake.
George Wharton, of .Brown county,
Ohio, tells a blood-curdling snake
story. Mrs. William H'uxelly, living
in a log-cabin, was making soap in
the back yard, having kissed her
sweet little six-months babe to sleep in
the cradle. Presently .the baby
soreamed, and she rushed in and was
horror-stricken to find', a hideous
blaoksnake of enormous size
New York has become a city of
extravagance in dinner-giving, and
many of these entertainments, with
all the delicacies of the season, and
rare wines, cost from $20 to $100 po"
cover. Of course the latter is the
outside figure, but reckoning that one
gives a dinner once a week to a party
of'say 15,-at./the first named figure,
it will prove a snug little suih at the
end off the yea^.'writes Foster C'oates
in the Ladies' Home Journal. In
order xto rendjsr these dinners complete
and perfect t^e hostess must: possess
a dinner service more 6r less "elabor

majority of the outsiders stop to con
sider what these consist of, and bovr
much money is spent in this direction.

the way of table decoration, wines and

The Itrlde Klaned Cold Up*.
'^""A wedding feast which was being
held in the Italian colony in Glasgow,
Scotland, the other night was broken
up by a murder committed in the
midst of the assembled guests While
the feast was progressing an Italian
named Lorenzo Marc Antonio made
his appearance in the room. He had
received no invitation to attend the
feast and he was ejected.
In a short time he returned, and
the bridegroom and a number ot the
guests attempted to again drive him
out of the room. Antonio, resisted,
and during the scullle that ensued he

Circassian Glrla Are Not FreUy.
Another of the idols of the past has
been shattered. J. Guthrie Watson,
an Englishman, denies the beauty of
the Circassian women. They have
long been traditionally the moet beau
tiful women in the world, but their
beauty, he declares, from long ac
quaintance with their land, to be onlv

Circassian beauties are to be found
not far from, Batoum, in the small

ten would travel through those dis
tricts without noticihg them. They
are mostly pTor peasant girls. They
have lovely eyes, but without expres
sion. Up to the age of fourteen they
have nice features, but after that age
they become very coarse-looking.

THE FOREIGN SO 1TOR.
Borne Rensnns Why Be I Attractive to
tli* Am«rlcnn Wrt.
One reason why A met lean girls
wish to mari-v abroad- is that foreign
ers have, as rule. a certain enamel
of manner which is.very attractive to
woiqen. The hand'-kissing, the flat
tery the deferential manner, all these
are the most u£reealfte beginnings of
an acquaintance, It is to ah idle girl
a great pleasure to find a man who'
has all his day, .to devote to her.
The European man has made a.
study of how to amuse himself all day
long, and no doubt he has picked up
education and all that is very agree
able along with this effort to get rid
of time, 'r*
The American man has had no
such difficulty: in disposing of the
golden hours he has worked hard to
make his living he has had a terrific
struggle for it and his love-making
has been a thing apart, an interlude
in the busy life. He has had'ho time
to enamel himself with foreign man
ners, and to an idle and a selfish girl
he is far less agreeable than a man
who ean take her to picture galleries,
to races, to the Bois, to dine, who
knoWs all about dressmakers, their
prices, their degree of style and their
costumes.
A European man is a gazette, a
newspaper among other things, and
he, is full of delightful anecdote. He
knows all the gossip about the Prince
of Wales, about Lady Agatha ai)d the
Duchess of Nowhere he is selfish in
everything else, but he is not selfish
in this. He does try to make, himself
amusing and agreeable, and, to do
him justice, he generally succeeds. If
he goes to theater or opera with a
party of ladies he knows the history
—and it is apt to be a piquant one—of
every prima donna, every tenor,
every basso. He remembers what
happened at Nice two winters ago,
and he has an amusing story about
the grand duchess of Pumpernickel.
We all know that there is no more
fasoinating reading for the idle an&
cultivated than stories ih which titles
abound. And perhaps ,«rhep, trea^e'd
with the genius of 'Oufda,theiy are
very good reading for jtnybodjr who
has nothing else to do. |v

Cardinal Newman's siic0esisor as

Very
iiev.
Ignatius Dudl&y Ryder, is
a grandson of a former bishop of
Lichfield, and a cousin of the Earl of
Kiirrpwby. His features are unmis
takably like thbsg of his grandfather
as preserved in the effigy over his
tomb in Lfchfleld Cathedral. He was
received in the "Roman Catholic
church as a boy ot 10 on the seces
sion of his father, a clergyman, from
the Church of England about the year
i8. 0. and most of his life since that
date has been spent in the society of
the late Cardinal. H0 is an able theo
logian and-an effective writer, with'
some poetic talent JUnder Newman's'
direction he published-a dignified re
ply to Dr. Littledale's "Plain Keasons
for Not Joining the Church of Rome,"
but apart from three or four magazine
articles and a small volume of verse,,
he has, issued nothing else in recent
years, and his powers are hardly
known outside the house at .hdgbas
ton. Nevertheless, beneath a some
what cold exterior he conceals much
intellectual vigor and a fund of quaint
humor. J*
Tomtol's Use of Word*.
A Russ official on duty in New
York city says: "I hear that some
passages or phrases of Tolstoi's new
book have a course surface in the
English language but there is no
coarseness of ideas or of phraseology
in any part of it in the Russian lan
guage. Many Russian words have
delicate shades of meaning that can
not be put into English, and many
liussian expressions or conceptions
have no precise equivalents in .En
glish. The Russian speech is the out
growth of the life and soul and his
tory of the Russian race, just as the
English speech is of another race, and
the ilussians find no coarseness in Tol
stoi's language, though they may re
jectr-iria social philosophy. It is hard
for the peo'ple of one race to compre
hend the workings of the spirit of
another race."

Europeans say we have no real

remark that the present Russian
Chancellor is a Swede the late Per

Scotchman an Irishman was three

Celt, MacMahon, was President of
