Sioux Falls Press: Thi» fall the
offices to be filled run from governor
down to road supervisor. ^Nothing is
omitted, from constable to the highest
in the land, national electors for the
electoral college, la consequence of
this the ticket will be the size of a barn
door. One of the representatives of
the largest job printing establishment
in the state said he had flgnred that tho
ticket would be six feet long, if all the
names were in a single column or three
feet if in double width. As to ballot
boxes, sugar barrels would have to be
used in some of the large wards. Al
ready some of the county commission
ers are making arrangements for large
steel ballot boxes to hold tho tickets.
The election will be fraught with diffi
culties and surprises seem certain.
The Dull Times are Fast,
Conklin's JDukotnn: Farmers have
seen the dullest and hardest times they
will ever have to pass through. For
the. past fifty years a constant stream
of immigration has been llowing into
the United States, spreading out over
unoccupied government lands and
opening up new farms. The passage
of the homestead law greatly acc&ler
ated the immigration movement. State
after state was occupied, increasing the
yield of farm products far beyond the
wants of American people, forcing the
productions of the farm to seek the
markets of the world, to reach which
involved long hauls by rail or water to
the seaboard, and thence by ocean
steamer to foreign ports. Overproduc
tion kept down prices so that the mar
gin of profit lor the farmer has been
small. While immigration was thus
continued and the supply of govern
ment lands held out, there was no rea
son to hope for the price of farm pro
ducts to improve. But a marked change
must soon come.
In five years from this there will be
little If any good government land
without an occupant. Soen with the
immigration that will continue and the
natural increase of population, the na
tion will consume all that its farms
will produce. Manufacturing yet in
its infancy, will employ the men who
cannot get farms the increase of
mouths to be fed will go steadily on,
hut the acres of land can never be in
creased. There is no more land in the
world now than there was on tho
morning of creation and never will
bo :iny more. Tho probability is that
those who are living twenty yfears
from this writing will see the begin
ning of importation of wheat into the
United States. The price of wheat
and farm stock has in the past ten
years touched Its lowest figures. Soon
prices will begin to advance, slowly at
first, but more rapidly as the years roll
by, until agricultural pursuits will bo
sfmong the most profitable of all indusr
tries. Then the farmer who owns 160
acres ot good land with comfortable
surroundings, will be one of the most
independent men iii American society.
The farmer should hold onto his farm.
He can leave no better heritage to his
children. Year by year it will becomo
more valuable. Fitty years from today
South Dakota lands will be worth from
•940 to 8100 per p.ere. Fariners, hold on
to your (arms.

Grover Cleveland was nominated by
the democratic convention on the first
ballot, receiving 616% votes.
The republican state convention has
been called to meet at Madison July 20
to place in nomination a state ticket.
The wisdom of the renomination of
President Harrison is exhibited by an
analysis of the vote in the convention.
Sixty jer cent of the Harrison strength
was from the republican north forty
per cent from the democratic south.
More than forty per cent of the dele
gates from the sure republican states
were for him. Forty-eight per cent of
the representation of the doubtful
states voted for him. Of the four
doubtful states Indiana and West Vir
ginia gave him all their strength. New
York gave him 37^ per cent of her
votes. Connecticut gave him 33£ per
cent. In point then of the distribution
of his itrength he is, in every other re
spect, the ideal candidate.—Watertown

CUUSi: OF i-KE13 TRADE.
GCQ.^
A Sheridan
iu £«rope.
General George A. Sheridan, the re
publican'orator, who has been in Eu
rope for the last five months studying
the labor question and gathering statis
tics in tree trade England, was seen at
the Fifth Avenue hotel to-day. in the
coming campaign he will stump the
country for Harrison and Eeid and use
the facts he learned in England.
"It is a ticket that will win," he said,
speaking of tne republican. nomina
tions, "and one that will not find favor
in England. 1 can say conscientiously
that during my rambles in England
and my trip on the continent I neyer
saw any country which I preferred to
this. I never felt happier than when I
landed in God's country—the land of
high wages, good schools, home indus
tries and general prosperity. The great
ocean separates us from a free trade
country which, so far as prosperity is
concerned, is retrograding and where
labor is under paid compared to the
wages in the United States. I devoted
my investigations to England almost
exclusively, besause it is the free-trade
country in Europe. France and Ger
many have long since recognized the
benefits of protection, at least on many
articles. I found that the present tariff
here has greatly reduced the export of
woolen goods from England, sales hav
ing fallen off in the past two years
about £10,000,000, Bradford, a big
manufacturing cit.y, has felt the effect
of the depression in woolem goods.
"The rampant free traders in Eng
land belong to the aristocratic class
and have settled incomes. The people
who earn their living day by day by
the sweat of their brow do not see how
they have been or are being benefitted
by free trade, and among a great many
there is a feeling of distrust. Lord
Salisbury, when he made his protection
speech, voiced the sentiment of the
great struggling masses more than the
Cobdenitei would like to admit. It is
becoming a serious question, but the
aristocratic classes will continue for a
time, at least, to keep up the pretense
that free trade means prosperity, high
wages, and, in fact, everything which
free trade in England disproves.
"The labor organizations were never
so strong their as now and their leaders
are men of education. These organi
zations are increasing very rapidly
and they will yet be heard. Already
England is being stirred from center to
circumference by the great influx of
Kussian Jews, driven from llussia by
persecution, and now the English see
why the United States has raised objec
tions to unrestricted foreign immigra
tion. The problem is coming home to
them in a realistic way. Tho British
laborer manages to keep body and soul
together when he has work, but they
object to the influx of foreign laborers
who will work for wages 50 per cent
lower. It means ruination to the
British laborer, and John Bull, instead
of studying us with his insular mono
cles, open both eyes to the problem
which confronts the so-called generous
free-trade country. Generosity has
reached its limit, and they see why the
United States does not wish to be over
run with pauper labor from Europe.
When you run the Britisher to a stone
wall and he bumps his head he realizes
that something confronts him.
".Now, the objection of England to
the liussian Jtws is a sad blow to the
democrats ot this country, who seem to
be anxious to have us flooded with
pauper labor. Can it be possible that
their friends, the English free traders,
are kicking against unrestricted immi
gration And yet it is true."
"Is tho condition of labor much
worse in England than here?"
"The splendid condition of labor here
is not matched in England, There
they have the sweating system in all its
glory and it is growing worse. To
show the difference in wages in the
two countries: A gentleman whom I
know has a cloth factory in Bristol,
Pa., and one in Bradford, England, and
the operatives in this country receive
three times as much as in the free
trade paradise. In other words, the
wages in the Pennsylvania factory are
equal to 12 cents a yard and in Brad
ford to 4 cents per yard. There are
only three articles in England cheaper
than in the United States, viz: those
made of the finer grades of wool, silk,
and linen. JS'ow the main reason why
these articles are cheaper than ours is
tbat our tariff does increase the price a
little, from the fact that we pay our
operatives in those industries twice as
much tis they do in the land of tree
trade. They do not pay tailors much
in England—they get twice as much
here, where the sweating system is not
extensive.
"The tin-plate makers in Great Brit
ain are constantly elated by the state
ments of the democtatic press that we
are not able to make tin here, but then
a period of depression comes when
they hear through authentic sources
that we are learning how to make the
best tin in the world.
"England for the last fifteen years
has paid for imported stuff £7,000,000,
000 showing a balance in trade against
her of 3501)0,000,000 a year. The failure
of the Baring Brothers in their Argen
tine speculations has hurt England and
caused a period of depression. It may
not generally known, but the fact is,
England collects through her custom
house annually §100,000,000. England,
with her 38,000,000 inhabitants for free
trade, stands against the 500,000,000
people of the globe who favor protec
tion, and yet there is not an article of
food except potatoes that the English
man does not have to buy abroad. He
buys meat, truit, and breadstuff. The
feed costs him more, too. And this is
owing to the difference between the
charges in wheat here and there, a dif
ference of 26 cents per bushel."
The general said England had at last
found out that she could not compete
with protected France aad Germany,
and the result has been that an English
syndicate had actually bought steel
rails in Germany, because they were
cheaper than in tree-trade England.

Keusons Whj tlie World's Fair Slioald K«
matn Open on Sunday.
"G. B." in Prison Mirror: This is a
question on which there is a great dif
ference of opinion. There are many
reasons why the World's Fair should
remain open, and only one why it
should be closed, The latter reason be
ing that it would desecrate the Sab
bath. We will set the religious views
of the question on one side by leaving
it to the conscience of tho individual.
If he thinks it wrong to attend the fair
on a Sunday let him stay away—and
by going to church and dropping a dol
lar into the contribution box do some
good instead of growling at the wick
edness of his fellowmen.
There will be people in Chicago dur
ing the World's Fair from all parts of
the world people of all forms of relig
ion—Protestants, Catholics, Heathen,
Jews, Mohammedans, Infidels and
Freethinkers. There will be rich men
with time and money unlimited at
their dieposal to them it will not mat
ter whether it be opea or closed they
can attend on any or every day. Let
them go to church and give liberally
toward the support of some hospital or
for the benefit ot the poor but they
are more likely to attend a ball game
or a race meeting—unless Chicago is
strangely altered. Sunday used to be
the best day for the saloons, disorderly
houses, theaters, music halls, dime mu
seums, ball games, and beer gardens—
all of which were open to entice the
workingman from his home and fam
ily. oS' ow, which would be be best for
those who have to work every day in
the week to live, and to whom the loss
of a day means so much less in their
week's pay or perhaps the loss of their
plaee—which, I ask, would be best for
the workingman, to take his wife and
family to the fair on Sunday, or to go
himself to a ball game or a theater?
We must presume that his sons and
daughters also work during the week,
and the loss of their combined wages
for a day means a serious thing to
them. The things h» would see at the
fair would show him the bountiful and
beauteous ways of nature, the gems of
art, the wonders of science, and tho
great inventions and improvements in
machinery—all of which would help
him to think more of himself, his fel
lowmen and his Maker. "We would go
home with a feeling that he lived in a
wonderful and beautiful world and
that what he had seen was not alone
the work of man, but that he was
guided aad instructed by some higher
power, that he had something to live
and work for beyond a mere existence
here below, and that he fc \d received a
sermon at tho World's Fair that had
done him more good than all the rev
erend ministers and priests in Chicago
combined could have done for him.
So. for the benefit it will be to those
employed during the week, I say let the
World's Fair remain open on Sunday—
and close the saloons if you like.
Summer Drinks.
This l« of no small importance to tho
hard working farmer in the long hot
days that are before him. The follow
ing suggestions are practicable because
they are within tho reach of all. They
are the w®rds of the celebrated Dr.
Parker:
"When you have any heavy work to
do, do not take either beer, cider, or
spirits. By far the best drink is thin
oatmeal and water, with a little sugar.
The proportions are a quarter of a
pound of oatmeal to two or three
quarts of water, according to the heat
of the day and your work and thirst.
It should be well boiled, and then an
ounce or an ounce and a half of brown
sugar added. If you find it thicker
than you like, add three quarts of wa
ter. Before you drink it, shako up the
oatmeal through tho liquid. In sum
mer drink thi3 cold in winter, hot.
You will find it not only quenches
thirst, but will give you more strength
and endurance than any other drink.
If you cannot boil it, you can take a
little oatmeal mixed with cold water
and sugar, but this is not so good. Al
ways boil it if you can. If at any time
you have to make along day, as in har
vest, and cannot stop for meals, in
crease the oatmeal to half a pound, or
even three-quarters, and the water to
three quarts if you are liable to be very
thirsty. If you cannot get oatmeal,
wheat flour will do, but not quite so
well. For quenching thirst, few things
are better than weak coffee and a little
sugar. One ounce of coffee and half an
ounce of sugar, boiled in two quarts of
water and cooled, is a very thirst
quenching drink. Cold tea has the
same effect, but neither is so support
ing as oatmeal. Thin cocoa is also very
refreshing and supporting likewise,
but is more expensive than oatmeal."
Of the twenty-three presidents,seven
were re-elected, namely—Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson,
Lincoln and Grant. Two were renom
inated and failed of election—Martin
Van Buren, who was beaten by Harri
son, and Mr. Cleveland, who was beat
en by tho republican grandson of the
great whig leader. This gives nine
presidential renominations, seven of
which were approved by the people.
Six presidents who lived out their
terms of office failed to get a renomina
tion. They are the two Adamses, Polk,
Pierce, Buchanan and Ilayes. Three
presidents died during their first term
namely—Harrison, Taylor and Garfield.
Tho four vice presidents—Tyler, Fill
more, Johnson and Arthur—were all
beaten for the regular nomination.
Tho Judge Libert tho Weed.
A judge in one of the mountain
districts told the sheriff to call in
John Riddlespiker Lochinvar Hanks.
The sheriff, after almost dislocating
his jaw over this euphonious title,
finally ushered Mr. J. R. L. Hanks
into the courtroom and up to the
judge's stand.
"What is it, your honor?" said Mr.
Hanks.
"Ah," said the judge, rubbing his
hands, "I only wanted to ask you
for a chew of that excellent tobacco
you gave me yesterday."
He got it.—Dalton (Ga.) Citizen.

A REMINISCENCE OF WILD BILL.
His Feat In Killing Two Men WHO Had
Pistols levoled at Him*
Among the prominent citizens of
Hayes City in the last days of Kan
sas railroad building was "Wild Bill"
(William Hickok), who had been a
serviceable scout in the Union army
along the Arkansas border during
the war. Bill came to Hayes City
with the prestige of having killed
nine men, unassisted, who had cor
ralled him during the war intent
upon his death. He, too, had fol
lowed "the K. P." railroad along
every inch ,of its construction from
Manhattan. His personal appearance
and the complexion of his white han
dled revolvers had become quite fa
miliar all along the road, and espe
cially at Abilene, during its days as
the terminus of the Texas cattle
drive, where, as city marshal, there
was never a cowboy who got "the
drop" on BUI.
Wild Bill in those days was "the
Slade" of western Kansas, the man
who Mark Twain says in "Roughing
It" was respected in Nevada for hav
ing "killed his man." In physique,
as the writer remembers hini, he was
as perfect a specimen of manhood as
ever walked in moccasins or wore a
pair of cavalry boots, and Bill was a
dandy at times in attire—a regular
frontier dude. He stood about feet
2 inches tall, had a lithe waist and
loins, broad shoulders, small feet,
bony and supple hands, with taper
ing fingers, quick to feel the cards or
pull the trigger of a revolver. His
hair was auburn in hue, of the tint
brightened but not reddened by the
sunlight. He had a clean, clear cut
face, clean shaven, except a thin,
drooping, sandy brown mustache,
which he wore and twirled with no
success, even in getting an upward
twist at either end. Brown haired
as he was, he had clear gray eyes.
He had a splendid countenance,
amiable in look, but firm withal. His
luxuriant growth of hair fell in ring
lets over his shoulders. There was
nothing in his appearance to betoken
the dead shot and frequent murderer
—except his tread. He walked like
a tiger, and aroused, he was as fero
cious and pitiless as one.
Bill's means of livelihood at the
time he was in Hayes City went un
questioned, and there is no reason
for agitating the subject at this late
day. As "a killer," however, Bill
put himself on record very shortly
after coming to Hayes City. His
first exploit was a double shot, a
right and left fusillade. The writer
witnessed the affair.
Two men came out of Tom Drum's
saloon, and walked toward the newly
built depot, surrounded by a raised
platform. Each man had a pistol
drawn, when suddenly from a group
of four or five "crack 1 crack!" went
two pistol shots and Wild BiU stood
on the edge of the platform with a
smoking bone handled revolver in
each hand, and the two men who had
been approaching the platform were
seen to totter, stumble forward and
fall. Death was instantaneous in each
case, as if Jove had hurled a bolt at
the men. A row over cards the
night before caused the double death
and a double funeral as soon as the
corpses could be prepared for inter
ment.—St. Louis Republic.
Koisy Toucans.
I know no fowls of the air which
more admirably typify in their own
persons the effects of a forestine
tropical fruit eating life than the
gorgeous toucans. Their big bill en
ables ±hem to reach out from afar at
fruits as they sit at their ease on the
trees that bear them, and to toss
them off at a gulp in a large and airy
manner that is very characteristic of
all the whole-swallowing fruit eat
TS. They axe gregarious and so
ciable birds, to a great extent organ
ized into a fixed community for tney
make common cause against enemies,
such as owls and falcons, whom they
surround and mob with one accord
after the fashion of all dominant
races, as rooks do in England.
Having thus little need for protec
tion, they are noisy and clamorous
in their native woods, resembling in
all these respects the other gregari
ous fruit eaters, like parrots and
monkeys. In short, they display for
us in full perfection the free, demo
cratic, fearless, open and gossipy life
naturally engendered in tropical sur
roundings among powerful and so
cial frugivorous species.—Cornhill
Magazine.
