Judge Thomas Charge.

Judge Thomas late charge to the
grand jury at Deadwood was brief, plain
and to the point. As reported by the
Times, he told them what their sworn
duty consisted in, and in investigating
the charges that would be made before
them, they should act fairly, honestly,
impartially, fearlessly and industriously.
He told them this was no longer a
new country, the railroad had brought
US close TO civilization and we should
endeavor to enforce the laws we now
have III such manner that strangers
coming here from the east with their
families would find nothing to crticise.
He spoke Of gambling and called their
attention to the fact that gaming was
carried on openly and aboveboard on
the principal street in the city, by day
light, and in the presence Of all who
wished to enter. He was no Puritan,
and thought this country was like all
others in this, that quiet game Of draw,
or even pull at the tiger, would be
indulged in on the quiet, but it should
be made to retire TO other quarters
where the young and rising generation
would not be quite 80 familiar with it..
He had in every charge he had given to
previous grand juries called their atten-
ton to public gambling, but so far no
indictments have been returned.
He spoke Of the houses of prostitution
in this city, and directed their attention
to them. The poor unfortunate women
who hold forth in them could be seen
cut walking and riding in chaises and
otherwises on our public streets every
day. Some restraint should be brought
to bear in the interest Of the women and
children Of this city, who should not be
brought in contact with them.
The opium dens of this city were re-
ferred to, and the more than deadly in
huences they were exercising upon the
community. The illegal sale Of liquor
without license, and the sale Of intoxi-
cants to miners was also referred TO-
He concluded by calling their attention
to the oaths they had taken, and the
secresy that should be observed. The
laws should be enforced and criminals
punished, and if any one of them felt
that they had not backbone enough to
discharge their duty he would excuse
them from the panel, if they would say

The Politician.

The politician now puts on his cam
paign hat and goes out to convince the
honest farmers, that he is the best man
in the county for the Office to which he
aspires. His friends have persuaded
him to consent that his name may be
used before the convention and there
fore, having consented to 80 much must
now make the race.
His enemies have started wicked re
ports about him, but those reports de-
serve the most severe condemnation.
No one believes them, because they have
no foundation whatever in fact, and
even if they were true, has not his op-
ponent done the same thing several
times, while he is only accused of the
one offense. A single mistake should
not condemn man. All mortals are
liable to err, and having once fallen and
seen their mistake, are less liable to fall
from grace in the future. Then there is
that other question about which people
are making SO much fuss. He is GER
tainly in the right on that point, and
expects the support Of all the best peo-
pie in the county. Certainly, no pro-
gressiys man could lend assistance to
his opponents theory on that point.
Having persuaded his listener to give
him his support,-as he thinks--he
drives on with a smile Of self approval,
seeking other converts. The next day
comes his opponent, and, calling on the
same voter, gives him cigar in token
Of his friendship, and perhaps leaves a
somewhat suspicious looking bottle
where he may try it if he chooses. He
talks about the farmers wife and babies,
asks how his corn and potatoes are
growing, looks at his stock, praises it,
taking care not to speak of the poor
points, then saying that he is running
for the office Of - and saying that
he hopes to see said farmer at the con-
vention. drives off, having completely
won his heart.
Which will be successful

Custer's Agricultural Resources.


Custer City's agricultural resources are
far more important than the average
resident ofCuster county would suppose.
Situated as this place is, upon the min
eral belt, surrounded by mineral de-
posits Of every character common to the
Black Hills region, it is but natural to
suppose that agriculture should consti-
tute an unimportant factor in the aggre-
gate of our local products; but such is
not the case, as we propose TO show by
review Of the situation az it now exists
While it is fact that we may con-
sistently claim abundant mineral re-
sources, which, if properly utilized,
would give support to city many times
larger than can now be found in the
territory, it is nevertheless fact that
our mines are largely owned by specu-
lators, and held for the purpose of
speculation rather than operation. The
result is a comparatively insignificant
output as compared with other sections
with inferior resources, where mines are
more extensively operated. That the
mineral resources of this section should,
and doubtless will eventually become
the crowning resource of this place no
one will deny, but at this juncturc, be-
fore the first permanent step has been
taken toward solid substantial develop
ment upon principles based upon un-
diluted mining sense, and sound practi-
cal judgement, the agricultural products
Of this section must be admitted to cut
an important figure in comparison there
with.
That portion Of Custer county which
is naturally tributary to Custer City,
familiarly known among the residents
Of lower Battle and Spring creeks as the
great area" will produce the present
estimate, made by gentleman who has
taken the pains to inform himself upon
the subject, something over one hun
dred thousand bushels of grain. This
may appear somewhat strange to the i'll
informed, who are laboring under the
erroneous impression that this city Is
located in the centre of great area"
bordering upon the Wyoming line, and
abounding in rocks only. but when the
fact is stated that more selfbinders have
been sold ut Custer to the great area"
farmers this season than has been sold
at Chadron, Oelrichs, Buffalo Gap, Fair
burn, and Hermosa combined, the valid
ty of the statement may become more
apparent Messrs. Van Devort & Allen
Of this place have already sold the
and Buffalo Gap to the farmers of this
section, and have ordered the sample
binder at Hay Springs, Neb., to fill an
order from "a local farmer According
to an estimate made by this firm, il will
require 5000 pounds Of twine to tie up
the grain raised on the great area" this
season, three-fourths Of which has been
grown upon land lying west of this city
and east Of the Wyoming line, which,
in due west course, is twenty-three
miles from this city. In summing up
the aggregate grain product Of Custer
county, it would materially affect the
result to exclude that portion Of the
county sometimes facetiously denomi-
mated, the great area"

A Bad Break.

Henry Gulick, a young farmer resid-
ing near Bakerville, returning on Sum
day from visit to his brothers ranch
in the western part Of the county, halted
an hour in this city, which time Judging
from his restless and refractory condi-
ton upon leaving for home, must have
been devoted to the vain attempt to
consume all the tanglefoot in the place.
