THE MITCHELL CAPITAL. PAGES 5 TO 8. FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1893. TALKING ABOUT US. Argus-Leader, Dem: THE MITCH ELL REPUBLICAN is ten years old and both Mitchell and THE REPUBLICAN are to be heartily congratulated on its appearance of prosperity and continued vigor. Brer Wheelock is the bright est and most incisive newspaper writer in the state, quick at repartee and' well guarded in a fight. The Argus-Leader's regret is that he contributes too little daily to his readers. When he gets out from under a falling cause and turns Democrat his editorial reputation will be beyond praise. Kimballite,.Dem: On last Tuesday THE MITCHELL REPUBLICAN com pleted its tenth year. THE REPUBLI CAN is a credit to Mitchell. It has al ways stood by the country during the period of its depression and never once lost faith in South Dakota. While, Wheelock, its editor, is one of those Ke'publicans who are still hanging onto an office, by right belonging to some good Democrat, he h'as never yet falter l"1 in his devotion to his party. May THE REPUBLICAN live long and pros per, and we trust that it may soon sqe the error of its ways and become an apostle of Democracy. While the editor of THE REPUBLI CAN appreciates, the too Mattering words of his Democratic brethren he hates to see them hugging the fond de lusion that he will ever experience the political change of heart suggested. The signs of the times are not auspic ious for conversions to Democracy. Howard Press: THE MITCHELL RE PUBLICAN is pouring some awfully hot shot into the camp of local "reformers." 'Its expose of their crooked ways in offi cial matters is making them wince. It's the same story in Davison county that it is in every other county in which the ''reformers" have control of the public offices—they are governed solely by prejudice and petty spite and favoritism instead, of business princi ples. It is not hot shot but cold facts THE REPUBLICAN is serving up to its friends, the reformers. And there is great deal more to follow. The tale of. Populist hynoerisy and" false pretense has not half been told. Sioux City Tribune: Waite ought to go back to Kansas. He is spreading the Kansas disease. He ought to run up to Sioux City on his way home to Colorado and give the Tribune man a lejsson in political geo graphy.

Cuisp Receives 214 Votes For Speaker, Reed 122 and Jerry Simp son 7. Full Text of the Mierman law, Which This Congress Is Expected to Repeal. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-A dark green carpet, enlivened here and there with a spray cf yellow and red, intensified by its appearance the heat which pre vailed in the hall of the house. It was in marked contrast with the cool mat ting of the senate wing. As early aa 10:30 the galleries devoted to public use were filled. The doors leading to them were crowded and spectators less for tunate than their associates peered over the shoulders of the more favored ones and waited patiently for the hour of noon. At il o'clock the reserved gal leries were opened and in one minute seats even there were at a premium. The picture then presented was indeed an animated and interesting one. The galleries constituted the frame, and a handsome frame it was. The ladies, who made up more than one halt' of the audience were attired in their prettiest summer costumes. Many of them discarded their headgear and the fluttering of fans and the buzz of female conversation mingled pleasantly with the sterner, manly" tones which arose from the floor. It was just noon when the gavel fell. The president's proclamation was read and the roll call followed. The mem bers of the new house then took the oath of office, after which the drawing for seats took place. Three hundred and forty-three mem bers responded to their names when the house proceeded to vote for speaker, the candidates being Crisp, Reed and Simp in. Crisp was elected speaker, receiv ing 214 votes, against 122 votes for R^ed and 7 votes for Simpson. THE SENATE. After Organization It. Adjourned Out of Respect For Senator Stanford. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—The senate chamber was in its mid-summer at tire, the floors being laid with matting. Half a dozen of the desks of senators on the Democratic side were provided with handsome flowers. The galleries were filled with ladies in light summer costume, and the floor was open to vis itors up to within a quarter on an hour of 12. One of the first senators to put in an appearance was Mr. Stewart of Nevada, and his desk was the central point of attraction for senators of both parties as they arrived. Mr. Gorman was one of those and he and Mr. Stew art had a mos: friendly greeting and' long chat. Mr. Mills of Texas was in liis seat about the same t£ me that Mr. Stewart came in, but .there was no greeting between the two. Mr. Teller of Colorado arrived at about five min utes before 12, and at the same moment a magnificent basket of flowers was laid on his desk. He was most cor dially welcomed by many senators. Just before the stroke of noon, Mr. Col quitt was wheeled into the chamber, but before he could be gotten to the chair the vice president's gavel fell, a hush came suddenly on the talk and confusion, and the chaplain, Rev. Mr. Butler, opened the session with prayer. The senate was already virlually pr ganized, officers having been elected at the session in March. After the president's proclamation was read, the oath of office was admin istered to Senators Quay of Pennsyl vania and Pascoe of Florida, and a communication was read from Mr. Beckwith of Wyoming, announcing that owing to the combination of cir cumstances he had placed his resigna tion as senator in the hands of the gov ernor. The communication was placed on file. Mm 21 274 5 76 2 1046 22 .. 621 12 525 11 ..{ 519 11 ..1 331 7 ..I 461 9 Union ..

A convention of the Republicans of Davison county Is hereby called to meet at the court bouse in the city of Mitchell on the 0th day of Septem ber, 1893, at 1 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of electing twelve delegates to the Republican judi cial convention to bo held in the city of Hurdu on Septembei-20th, and to elect twelve delegates to the district judicial convention to be held In the city of Mitchell ou the 12tli of September, and tor the transaction of such other business as shall legally come before such convention. The committee recommends that caucuses be held In the various precincts of the county on Friday. September 8th, and that an alternate be elected for each delegate, and that no proxies be allowed, and that the delegates and alternates present at the convention be empowered to cast tiie full vote of their precinct. The secretary-elect of the senate, Mr Cox of North Carolina, had the oath administered to him and took posses sion of the office. The usual resolu tions to notify the house and president were adopted and at 12:30 the death of the late Senator Stanford of California was announced by Mr. White of that state, and as a mark of respect tha senate adjourne'd for the day. HOUSE LEADERS. Cochran and Bynum Pitted Against. Culbertson and Bland. Mr. Bonrke Cochran of New York, and Mr. Bynum of Indiana, it is said, are to be the leaders of the anti-silver forces on the Democratic side of the floor of the house. It is stated that the distinguished Tammany oratotf at the suggestion of Mr. Cleveland 'himself, has devoted his spare time during the summer to the study of the question in all its phases. Saturday Mr.'Cochran went to Mr. Culberson of Texas, and Mr. Bland, and stated the anti-silver men were willing to start in with the discussion of the silver question, on the second day of the session without re ferring it or waiting for consideration or report from any committee. The underlying motive of this suggestion is said to be a fear on Mr. Cochran's part that Speaker Crisp will give the silver men a majority on the coinage commit tee. .He urged upon the sjlver leaders that to wait for a committee report would delay action so that it would be at least two weeks and probably three before any committees would be an nounced. Doesn't Suit Culbertson. Mr. Culbertson told Mr. Cochran that he would not agree to his proposi tion and that he believed the silver-men could get their views before the coun try in much better shape if they were embodied in a report from a majority of the committee on coinage. Mr. Cochran said he was willing to jump into the middle of the discussion at once, that he would agree there should be no closure and that every man should say everything he had to say on the subject of silver without interrup tion, and that at the end of the discus sion there should be a vote taken on every proposition. Two Bills. The intention is that Mr. Cochran shall at the finst opportunity introduce a b,iH,to repeal the Sherman act out right without any conditions or substi tutes. Mr. Culberson will also intro duce a bill, or someone will in his be half, which will provide for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher man act and will also provide for the coinage of silver without mintage at the ratio of 16 to 1. The bill, it is un derstood, in its wording, will follow as closely as may be section 7 of the Dem ocratic platform of 1892, which favors '.'the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage. The dollar unit coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsicate and ex changeable value, adjusted through in ternational agreement or by such safe guards of legislation a*s shall insure the mafhtenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in all markets and in the payment of debts." By this means it is thought that the Democratic op ponents of a bill thus framed will be put in the attitude before the countrv of opposing their own plat^orm. THE SHERMAN IjAIV Full Text of the Silver Purchasing Act of 1800. The following is a full text of the Sherman silvar purchasing law of 1890. about which there has been so much discussion: An act directing the purchase of sil ver bullion and the issue of treasury notes thereon, and for other purposes. Section 1. Be it enacted by the sneate and house of representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled: That the secretary of the treasury is here by directed to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 4,500,000 ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered each month at tlie market price theirof not exceeding $1 for three hundred and seventy-one. and twenty-five hun dredths grains of pure silver, and to issue in payment for such purchases of silver bullion treasury notes of the United States to he prepared by the secretary of the treasury in such form and of such denom inations—not less than 41 nor more than SI,000—as he may prescribe, and a sum sufficient to carry into effect the provisions of this act is hereby appropriated out? of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. Sec. 2. That the treasury notes issued in accordance with the provisions of this act shall be redeemable on demand, in coin, at the treasury of the United States, or at the office of any assistant treasurer of the United States, and when so re deemed may be reissued, but no greater or less amount of such notes shall be out standing at any time than the cost of the silver bullion and the standard silver dol lars coined therefrom, then held in the treasury purchased by such notes, and such treasury notes shall be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and pri vate, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract, and shall be receivable for customs, taxes and public dues, and when so repeived may be reis sued and such notes when held by any national banking association may be counted as a part of its lawful reserve. That upon demand of the holder of any of the treasury notes herein provided for the secretary of the treasury shall, under such regulations as he may prescribe, redeem such notes in gold or silver coin at his discretion, it being the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with each other upon th% present legal ratio, or such ratio as may be provided by law. See. 3. That the secretary of the treas ury shall each mouth coin 2,000,000 ounces of the silver bullion purchased under the provisions of this act into standard silver dollars uijtil the 1st day of July, 1891, and after that time he shall coin of the silv bullion purchased under the provisions of this act as much as may be necessary to provide for the fedemption of the treasury notes herein provided for, and any gain or seigniorage arising from such coinage shall be accounted for and paid into the treasury. Sec. 4. That the silver bullion purchased under the provisions of this act shall be subject to the requirements of existing law and the regulations of the mint service governing the methods of determining the amount of pure silver contained and the amount of charges or deductions, if any, to be made. Sec. 5. That so much of the act of Feb. 28,1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coinage of the standard silver dollar, and to restore its legal tender character, requires the. monthly purchase and coin age of the same into silver dollars of not less than $2,000,000 nor more than 44*000, 000 worth of'silver bullion is hereby re pealed. Sec. 6. That upon the passage of this act the balance standing with the trea surer of the United States to the respec tive credits of national banks for deposits made to redeem the circulating notes of such banks and all deposits thereafter re ceived for like purpose shall be covered into the treasury as a miscellaneous re ceipt, and the treasurer of the United States shall redeem from the general cash in the treasury the. circulating notes of said banks which may come into his pos session subject to redemption, and upon the certificate of the pomptroller of the currency that such notes have been re ceived by him, and that they have been destroyed by him, and that no new notes will be issued in their place, reimburse ment of their amount shall be made to the treasurer, under such regulation: as the secretary of the treasury may prescribe, from an appropriation hereby created, to be known as national bank notes redemption account, but the provisions of this act shall not apply to the deposits received under section 3 of the act of June 20,1874, requiring every national bank to keep in lawful money wftli the treasurer of the United States a sum equal to 5 per ceutum of its circulation, to be held and used for the redemption of its circulating notes, and the balance remain ing of the deposits so covered shall at the close of each month be reported on the monthly public debt statement as debt of the United States bearing no interest. il -iWiS THE POPULIST SCHEME. Their Proposition For Government Control of Railroads Given Out. CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—Since the close of the silver convention George F. Wash burn of Boston, Mass., chairman of the Eastern division, national committee People's party, and Colonel A. C. Fisk of Denver, Col., president of the Pan American Bimetallic association, tp gether with othercprominent silverites have been in daily consultation with leading government officials, bankers, capitalists and railroad men of the West, proposing a gigantic railway scheme of government ownership, which they think will afford financial relief to the country and make at once an issue of two of the & O Pet Planks of Their Platform. The plan proposed is that the national government shall issue bonds for all legal and just indebtedness, being gov erned by the same tenure and contract which now exist. Tlie amount is esti mated to be about two-thirds of the value of the railroads, and an issuance of legal tender treasury notes or silver certificates for the remaining one-third. Objection was raised to the Populists' plan to pay one-third in treasusy notes, which would greatly increase the price of products in the country but it was claimed that even though the full amount of oi*ejthird-should be issued, that 65,000,000 of people could better absorb $2,U00,000,000 of treasury notes now thaji 25,000,000 of people did in 1867, and that this issuance of treasury notes would afford Immediate Financial Relief and inaugurate a period of prosperity unparalleled in the history of the world. But the Populists do not propose that the government shall buy all the rail roads at once, but do so gradually, so that the shock would not be felt in the money market. Beginning with the Western roads they would be taken in the order of their application, some be ing ready now. It is claimed that the plan would not antagonize existing rail way interests, and that if the govern ment owned all the railroads west of the Mississippi river, instead of being competitors to the Eastern roads they would be distributive, and could be used by the government to Move the Crops at Small Cost. Also that uninabited sections could be colonized, the low fares being an induce ment to immigration anil in this way relieve the cities from their present congested state and provide an addi tional market for the manufactured products of the people who remain, and that as much as a commission only be needed in each state, the saving in high salaries would be ejiormous.' Mr. Washburn will leave for Washington at once to put the matter before congress and to secure the support of Western and Southern congressmen. itett Men Uet a Raise. BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis., Aug. 8.— The Winnebago Indians that were taken from here to the world's fair' after getting there and learning the ropes a little, refused longer to "per form" at the old prices, and the pro prietor, T. R. Roddy, was obliged to put up $1.50 extra for each one per week. This makes an increase of $150 per week in Mr. Roddy's expenses. He has some pretty shrewd men with him, and they are not slow to inform the less brilliant ones. *WiIliik£ to Loan IVa&ges. EVANSVII,LE, Ind., Aug. 8.—At 12:30 o'clock p. m. it was learned that the Evansville and Terre Haute firemen, brakemen, switchmen and conductors have decided to object to the 10 per cent wage reduction. They are willing, however, to loan the company 10 per cent of their wages. The result of the engineers' meeting will not be known until later. The company, it is said, will stand firm. Davenport Industries Slack. DAVENPORT, la., Aug. 8.—The Daven port woolen mills shut down Saturday night to await revival of business. The Buffalo Brick and Tile works have stopped work under tjie same condi tions. The largest cigar factory in the state, located here, gave its men the choice between a 10 per cent cut in wages or a lay off. The employes voted almost unanimously to continue under reduced pay.
