Hand County press. (Miller, Dakota [S.D.]) 1882-1893, 1884-10-02

The syiph-tke star-eyed goddess OF re-
form of Hand CO., through the columns Of
the Rec Heights Press, demands that
Spencerian l.. Sage, the isolated phenom-
enon in the journalistic realm of Dakota,
he nominated for Probate Judge of Hand
county. Only this and nothing more.
The PRESS is overjoyed to have an OPP
portunity TO second the motion, and prove
its allegiance to, and admiration of
this member of the craft, who is 20
severely uuaceustomed to receive the we'll
earned compensation he is justly entitled
TO, at the hands Of people he is daily
and hourly laboring to elevate by personal
abuse and purify by smut poetry. And
especially is the PRESS proud and over
loved at this evidence of new departure
even in the eventful life of the goddess,
when she places this last brilliant, though
undressed diamond SO conspiculously in
the necklace that adorns her alabaster
throat. and challenges the criticims of the
common horde on her ma ster stroke of
unprecedented recklessness and successful
attempt to add new lustre to the halos of
dazzling splendor which envelops the
crown of this ever live issue. We are in
hearty accord with the new departure of
the goddess, enfolding in her loving en-
brace this sparkling all woel solitaire, who
has never been curried, and who3e yard
wide briliancy sheds a r)state hue OF
! conaescending taffy upon his companion
gems in the goddess circlet, that should
demand the instant promise OF another
$3.50. 1t matters not about the bonus, so
that he be inflated with the promise. In
fact Baldwin says now He can bone us
till dooms lay before he gets it.
But let us drift back to the angel OF
light whose mission il was to fulfill the
wish of the goddess by an anonymous
correspondence to the Rec Heights Press,
| and who signs himself "One from the
west SIDE" The spontaneity with which
he and Sage indulge in their grand distri-
button OF sugar coated adulation Is really
a remarkable coincidence. so much so,
| indeed, that one not possessed with
their own evident credulty, that great god
of error they SO blindly worship, would
imagine it to be spontaneous bathurst OF
! the premeditated scheme fer the re-nom-
! nation of one and the nomination or the
! other. We will give "One from the west
eide" pointer that if he looks after his
own fences he won't have time for many
! such admirable suggestions

Hon. John b. Raymond took his defeat
at Pierre very philosophically, and made
many friends thereby among the sorthern
delegates. The convention passed reso-
lutions endorsing his work in Congress,
md plainly showed that the only objec-
ton to his re- nomination was because he
was North Dakota man. The conven-
tion was wholly in the hands of the
Southern delegates, end they simply took
advantage of this fact to choose q South
Dakota man. While the work of the
convention is generally accepted with lavor
throughout the Territory, there is never
thelessa very considerable undercurrent
of disappointment in many localities that
Mr.. RAYMOND was not re-nominated. MIR.
Clifford, no matter how able he may be,
viii yet require the experience of ut least
the large st portion of his term to place him
on an equal footing with Mr.. Raymond,
whose present term gave him the adrant-
age of apersonal acquaintance with the
actual workers in Congress, as well as a
knowledge of the ropes. Ii We are to
Judge by the action of this convention,
and the Republican national convention
which furnished the precedent. the time
honored custom Of rewardins capable
official with a denomination must go by
the board, and change required each
year or term, without regard to results,
which are likely to prove disastrous, by
the qualification of this idea Of spreading
the spoils over wider space. We are not
inclined to think there are only few good
men in the party by any means, yet We dc
believe they do not grow on every bush,
/ and this wholesale shelving of mea VIII ON
| the party endorse but refuse to re-nomin-
ate, will eventually become very strong
reason for our best men to de cline leaving
pleasant and profitable business only to be
| returned to the seclusion of private life
aud no business after serving the party
one term in office.

Eren Grnss and Free Timber.

The latest current "argument that
is being used us common property OF
the opponents of free grass; If it is
good for the state to have free grass,
why is it not equally good to have free
timber? And why, they ask, If men
may appropriate the grass of the ives :
ern plains to feed their stock, may
they not with equal right appropriate
the products of the timber lands Of
East Texas? And they think this is a
poser.
The grass on millions of acres Of land
in Western Texas springs up, flourish
es and perishes in its season. The
state, which is the trustee of these
lands, gains nothing in excluding stock
from them as long rs they lie idle
Whether stock consume the grass OF
not, it dies in the winter, to be sue.
ceeded in the spring by a new crop
Whether it lies idle or is grazed OF
makes no difference. The cattle thai
fatten on 1t are so much the gamer
and the state is none the loser, for i
has simply given the cattle that which
it could not retain. The pine lands o
Eastern Texas bear burden OF wealth
that they have been accommodating 70
years and for centuries. The presen
growth of timber, if converted int
lumber, will not reproduce itself in
lifetime. The man who cuts down
tree deprives the land of that whicl
nature cannot replenish except by Ion
processes, and impairs the value of tn
land for many years. There is no pa
! allelism between free grass and sire
! timber.n

ST.. LOUIS, Kansas City and chicago
are all equally interested with Fort
Worth in the building of the Fort
Worth g. Rio Grande road to Eagle
Pass. All these cities are striving for
the trade of Mexico, and to get that
trade must have the Nest direct con-
nection with the people and the mar
ket. A road from Fort Worth to Eagle
Pass, thence connecting with the
Mexican Central, would make the
shortest and the cheapest route from
the North. The Missouri Pacific from
Kansas City, connecting at Fort
Worth with the Rio Grande road,
gives the merchants of that city an
unbroken and almost bee line for the
transportation of freight to the City
of Mexico. The saving to their whole
sale merchants in freight charges will
pay for the road in u few years. These
facts, / presented 10 the Kansas City
capitalists, should make them willing
TO put money into the Fort Worth II
Rio Grande and urge its building n
soon as science, capital and labor can
put it through.

A Hint to Galveston,

Fort Worth is cosmopolitan, as well
rs progressive. She is helpful, and
mo pent.up Utica" curtails her catholi
city. Her mayor, when at Galveston
the other day, gave the islanders
hint that calls 10 mind the old story
about Mahomet and the mountain. IL
deep water cannot be had right at Gal
weston, Galveston can go To deep wa
ter. In brief, the mayor told them
they could build an iron pier across
the shallow bar out to the deep water,
where the Great Eastern might float.
We have 10 idea that they will grasp
ut the suggestion, or ever attempt to
put IT into execution. The iron piers
cost money, and lavish sums ut that
But the idea is not visionary. 1t is NJ
tangible and practical ms the idea o.
building a railroad from Galveston t.
Fort Worth, or bridge across tn,
Mississippi, or tunneling u mountain
or any other achievement of engineer
ing science. Demonstrations exist boil
In Europe and this country. The long
pier at Long Branch will be remem
bered by every visitor to that pleasure
resort, aud If we are not mistaken
there Is similar work at Atlantic City
Money and engineering skill combine
can achieve u like result at Galveston
But, as we have said, IL Is not Mt a
likely that 1t will be attempted. TIL
