The Rapid Republican has recently
declared bitter and unrelenting war
fare against all 'senescent hypocritical
plunderers, and ~unprincipled shysters,'
irrespective or party, who show by their
official conduct that they are actuated
by selfish motives rather than the de-
sire to promote the public veal. The
adoption Of such a course by q public
journal can not be too highly ON
mended, and We sincerely hope that the
laudable efforts of our esteemed contem-
pory may be crowned with abundan
success. Now, since the Republican has
avowed the intention of fighting fraud
and corruption lin all its hideous and re
voting phases, it is solacine to note
that is has chosen a field atfording such
ample and unlimited scope for the exer-
else of its redeeming power. No better
field could have been selected for the
inauguration of any enterprise having
redemption for its leading object.

Iron Hill MANAGEMENT.

Following is an article taken from the
Spearfish Register, which severely
censures the management of the Iron
Hill Mining company for withholding
from it's stockholders, and the public,
certain vital information relative to its
business affairs. 1t concludes, no wever,
with a saving clause which will have a
tendency to take much Of the curse Oft
"Many of the stockholders in the Iron
Hill are dissatisfied with the reticence
Of the management with regard to the
affairs Of the company. They claim,
and with reason, that a more full report
of the condition of the mine or com
pany, the amount Of Its revenues. the
| use to which they are put, and the
amount and class of work done should
be made monthly, officially, as is done
| by the Homestake, Caledonia, DeSmet
and other local reputable companies.
If any return has ever been received
| from the base ore shipped TO Omaha
| weeks ago, the stockholders do not
| know it. If any evenu has been de-
rived from the heavy shipments of base
bullion, none but a favored few are
aware Of it. The report elsewhere of
the directors meeting last Wednesday
is a tair sample Of what has been the
rule heretofore, and is cminently UNI
satisfactory to those interested in the
welfare of the company and the country.
All that has ever been made public re-
garding the business Of the company
has been at best the result Of reportorial
enterprise, entirely unofficial. While
this satisfies in a measure the papers
which publish these compilations of
rumors (the best they can do), it does
not satisfy the majority Of the stock
holders. Were the Iron Hill property
alone the sufferer, it would not matter
so much, but as it has attained a
prominence (perhaps undeserved), rs

The st. Paul Despatch, referring TO the

the shrewd Bismarck politician, a V
Twelve years ago he went broke IN
Fargo. Bismarck WAS the end Of the
road and his objective point. He bor-
r wed q greasy coat and 4 hammer from
larry O'Niel at Fargo, went to the
depot and pounded away on the wheel
boxes. When the train started he got
on, and at every station he got down and
inspected the wheels. In the crowded
train the conductor passed him by for
a car repairer, and Aleck landed in
Bismark that night" If the Dispatch
could only get at the true inwardnees OF
that wonderful New Orleans exhibit
and the many thousands of dollars ex-
pended by the territory for the few
Indian antiquities, it wonld disclose
something much more astonishing, if
not quite so pleasing to the taxpayers o!
Dakota. The history Of that $4,000 ex
penditure has never been written, and
the chances are, never viii be, although
the soon-to assemble Legislature is ex,
pectea to probe the matter TO a certain
extent. Oh. YES, Aleck Mckenzie is al
"amn0sin little cuss,' as Artemus Ward
wonld say.-DeadwoOd Times.
Yes, and we wonder what Aleck ha;
done with our private cabinet that was
taken from New Orleans to Bismark in
stead of being returned to us as pei
agreement. Will Aleck explain?

An item going the rounds Of the east

which formerly was anxiously sought at
500 per share, now goes begging at 40
cents, is thus denied by the Black Hills
Herald:
ave doubt if there has been a sale of
q share Of Iron Hill stock sold at 80 cents,
There have been a number of pretended
sales made in a loud and boisterous
! manner TO attract attention and as an
imposition and for the sole purpose Of
bearing the stock. Several transactions
Of this kind have been played and with
considerable effect and purpose, but NJ
honest bona fide sales have been made al
80 cents. Any one having Iron Hillstock
| for sale at 50 cents per share can fine
ready purchasers. There is plenty o,
money IN the city TO buy at these figures
a considerable sum of which has been
sent here by eastern parties. y pur
chase of 500 shares of Iron Hill wa,
made last week for an eastern parry
and though the daily papers were quot
ing the stock at - to 80 cents, the pur
| chaser ransacked the town for the STOCK
mt SO cents and could not get a share
! and the best he could do was to buy 40(
| shares at 57t and 400 shares at 60 cents
Thus it is and thus it will continue tt
