Eart-Nalking Horses.

Not only the draft horse. that

the saddle horse, that rests himself

trotting, or pacing, or cantering, BY

rious vehicles on our crowded thor

they are rapid walkers.
The fair grounds are the only
places where competition for fast
walking horses can be given, and yet
II is not granted half the premium

not only attract IL large attendance
Of curious spectators, but would add
more largely than any one can ap-
proximately estimate to the develop
mcnt to the vast resources OF our
abundant country. The habitual
gait Of the horse is the walk. He
walks more than he trots or gallops,
and it is, therefore, important that
he should be trained and encourag-
ed to walk at rapid and sustained
pace; for he thereby saves much
time and most cmphatically IS It

vert attention from the greater evils
and dangers above enumerated.
And the National party In It's last
state convention walked directly in
to the trap 50 adro;tly spread, against
the protest Of this paper and OF many
others. OF the most temperate and
discerning men Of the party in the
state. In this county, and in fact all
over this congressional district. for
the time being it was II virtual dis
bapdment OF orr party without any
good to the cause OF temperance.
We know that Gen. Weaver and Mr.
Gillette and others who were instru-
mental in forcing this issue into our
platform were honestly, rs they be-
licvcd, working for the moral and
social advancement OF the human
race. That they were mistaken is
now apparent. The motive clevates
them above reproach. Their good
sense should now induce them to
confinc their efforts to the primal
objects Of our organization instead
Of frittering away our strength upon
issues legitimatcly out of the do.
main OF politics.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have IN ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast dir
ference in Inequality Of them. Ina soLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neccs-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiaen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The,
surplus is no. only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-fitting. The perfect watch
cssc must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which tho gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case .s,,, " wsr
which saves the WASTE Of need 8 o
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDlrY and
STRENGTH of the case, and ct the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

Seven-eighths of the misery Of this
world has resulted from the owner
ship Of labor, enfored and maintain
ed by capital and monarchical au-
thority. The kings Of the old nations
owned their subjects, and could tax
them down.to actual starvation, and
use them in any way to suit their
caprice. Where there was one king
in olaen times, there in now hum
drod. The working people Of nearly
all Europe are the virtual slaves OF
the money kings who own the
thrones, the parliament, the crowns,
the courts, the money. and even the
blood, bone and muscle Of the people.
And there is no escape. The Ia
borer, from his cradle to his grave,
is taxed to support 4 corrupt and
vicious asirtocracy. The little tiny
shirt that goes upon him when first
born, is taxed I'll through life, every
time he wears it. Every mouthful

HURRAH!!
A Railroad for Clifton
Sixteen Men Surveying Down tho,
okobojo!

The WATCHMAN feels like throwing
up its hat and hurrahing over the cheer
ing prospects for railroad through
Clifton and Sully county Wednesday
evening surveying party under charge
of engineer JAS. NJ. Raymond and as
sistant A. G. Wither-sixteen men
with seven teams-reached Clifton.
Though the party tried to be as mum
rs oysters, during the evening and the
next morning our reporter pumped
from them the fact that the proposed
line is an extension of the Redfield
branch of the Chicago & Northwestern.
The surveyors left Redfield and ran the
line nearly north around the head of
bald hills in Faulk county, thence south
west, striking the Okobojo near the
northeast corner of Sully county, and
down the valley via. Clifton to the
Missouri river. The road by this route
would be about 10 miles long from
Redfield to Pierre. The surveyor pro-
nounces it very practical and easy
line to build thus far, and though not
prepared to say that it would at once
be constructed on the present survey,
said it was only question of very
short time when we would get road
down through here. What is more en-
couraging is the fact that this is the
second survey and that the party is
making a record of both the curves and
grade. The Chicago & Northwestern
has just affected lease for 80 years of
a piece of ground one mile square on
the west bank Of the Missouri, on the
opposite side from Pierre, of the Sioux
Indians, which looks very much like
bridge at that point and an extension
of their lines to the Black Hills coun-
try. Putting ''this and that" together,
we feel almost like assuring the people
of Sully county that the time is not
long distant ere they may hear the
screach of the locomotive engine rever-
berating among the hills along down
the Okobojo from Redfield to Pierre to
make a connection at that point both
east and west, and it will be happy
day for them.
