Letter from Hill City.

HILL CITY, OAK, Nov. 16, 1888.
Editor Custer Chronicle.
Joseph Mcclure and Sarah NJ. Yer
past were united in marriage on the
evening Of November l4th, 1888, by
Justice of the Peace Samuel Cooper, at
Justice Cooper's residence, near Hill
City. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcclure will take
up their residence at their new hotel at
Hill City, where you will find them in
the future.
The boom has struck us at last Har-
rison and Morton were not elected
in vain. We will have duty on tin,
and tin plate, and the tin mines of Hill
City and vicinity will soon commence to
produce tin. Dakota will be admitted as
state, and with statehood will come the
good times we have been praying for
during the present democratic admin
istration. Good by for time.
Yours respectfully,
SAMUEL COOPER.

doubtless would have been more caustic

b. q M. Survey.

The Gillette (B. & NJ surveying party
are now encamped at the S & G Cattle
ranch, 40 miles southwest Of this place,
still coming to this place for their mail
and supplies. They are at present en-
gagged in running a preliminary line
from the main line, near the S & G
ranch, in the direction of the B. & M.
coal camp, which is now attracting con-
siderable attention by reason of the ex-
tsnsive bodies of superior coal which
are now known to exist in that locality.
1t would seem probable that the line
above referred to is being surveyed With
view to changing the course Of the
main line further north, and thus make
the camp referred to point thereon.
which we only present as a theory, as
little else but theories confront us at
present, so far as local railroad matters
are concerned, with scarcely single
well established condition, visible to the
naked eye, which could be regarded as
being worthy of note.

Cattle Shipmeuta.

The train which went out Saturday
ended the cattle shipping for this season,

The cattle shipped from this point alone
this fall, represented over $5OO,OO0 OF

tributed among the farmers, men who
had dozen or two steers to sell. That
has been Godsend to these people. as
in every case good prices were paid
them, and the money goes towards the
debts they owe, with some left for fall
improvements. 1t is estimated that the
returns from cattle shipped out this
year will exceed $2.50OO0O, that is, the

-SENAToR STANFORD, in an interview
said to have been had with Herald cores
pondent in Paris, expresses the belief that
California will go for Harrison and Morton
for two specific reas ons, because our enlarg-
ing fruit interests demand the fostering care
that includes protection by tariff and because
the removal of protection means an inevita-
Bile lowering of wages until they reach the
level of the foreign labor market. The
wheat growers of California employ machin-
cry to such an extent, says the Senator, that
the sum paid to the agricultural lahorer bears
so small a relation to the value Of the pro-
duct of his labor that it does not appreciably
affect the price of the product in market.
High wages, therefore, he maintains, does
not interfere with our competition with for
eign producers in European markets. The
Senator adds the economic and civilizing
truth that the policy of California and of the
whole country should be to secure the labor.

MANUFACTURING A SURPLUS.

The Democrats had to have some basis for
their attack upon the Tariff and they used
the surplus. 1t was largely manufactured
foundation. To make Tariff Reduction pop
ular it was necessary to convince the people
that money was accumulating in the Treasu.
ry at the rate of some 500, 10000 a year
for which there was no legitimate outlet, and
which would 60 on increasing until swollen
to hundreds of millions. The Administra-
ton and its followers in Congress, therefore,
proceeded to create surplus. They set up
a man of straw for the purpose of knocking
him down. They stopped the purchase of
bonds, the most obvious way of disposing Of
spare funds. Last year the President peck.
eted the River and Harbor bill, appropriate
ing about $40, 900 900. The legislative, ju-
dicial, executive and pension appropriations
were cut down The Fortihcations bill, APP
propriating many millions for necessary ma
tional defense was killed. The Choctaw
claim, decided by the Supreme Court against
the Government, and calling for some
$1,000 900, was allowed to remain unpaid,
and by these various devices the surplus was
caused to loom up in threatening proportions.
That kind of work could not 60 on indeh.
nitely. It,costs about so much to run the
country, and if each year does not pay for
itself, another must bear the burden. Last
year the appropriations, outside Of the per-
manent appropriations, aggregated $248,-
$4,000 50. This year for the same purposes
they amount to $500, 1898, 2e6 90. Add the
regular permanent appropriations of about
$4,000, 900 per annum and the aggregate
for the year foots up S42, ooo, 900, leaving a
surplus out of the estimated revenue. $780,
ooo, 900, of only 10000, 900. With opPor-
tunities open for the purchase of bonds, this
is not dangerous surplus. Admitting that
the Administration has been guilty of extrav'
agance during the current year IN expending
money where it will do the Democratic party
the most good, the fact remains that with
proper appropriations for needed objects, and
a gradual diminution Of the bonded debt the
surplus is not big enough to occasion alarm
1t certainly is not big enough to warrant a
change of our Industrial policy with the
view of getting rid Of it. But what are we
to think of the Administration and the party
which deliberately puts up job to lock W
money and disturb business relations for tn,
purpose of making political pointa Tha
question will be answered in November.-S

REPUBLICANS!

Next Monday the Republican County Con
vention will be held in Silver City. Dele
gates have been selected from the several
precints in the county who will have the NAM
ing of a Republican ticket. tits our earnest
belief that the Convention will labor to put
a ticket in the field that will win. The del
ecates selected are a mixture Of good sound
business men, ranchers, mill men, industrious
laborers and young Americans, and will no
doubt make wise selections from the numer-
Gus candidates. There is one State Senator
to select, two Assemblymen, one Sheriff, Re-
corder, District Attorney, Clerk, and one
long and one short term Commissioner. In
making up the ticket the fact should be tax.
en- into consideration that no one section OF
the county should have all the offices. Sill
yer City should have her quota, Mason Val
ley hers, Dayton the same, and Smiths Valley
also, should not be overlooked. The smaller
precincts should, we believe, stand in with
the larger enes and put up a ticket that is
geographically satisfactory as well as salts
factory otherwise.
Two years ago the Convention selected a
strong ticket and it made clean sweep,
something that was never known to occur in
this county before. The Republican MAORI
ty in this county is in the neighborhood of
100 and if a fair ticket is again selected this
wear there will be another clean sweep. See
TO it gentlemen of the Convention that you
get sound ticket in the field so that all Re-
publicans will work energetically for its sue

OUR POSITION.

The people Of this county have probably
not lost sight of the fact that the writer is {
candidate for the Assembly. Since our an
nouncement was made we have been made
aware Of the fact that newspaper man car
be accused Of anything and everything
However, we announced ourself to the PEG
pie Of the county, not to portion Of them,
and are willing to take our chances in secur
ing the nomination. If it is the wish of the
Convention that we be placed on the ticket,
we'll and good; but if they think it wiser to
select some other man we will have nothing
to say against their choice, and will still
continue to labor for the success of the ticket.
1t has been our good fortune to be able to as
sist in electing many good Republicans, and
we hope to be able to do the same this year.
No promises will be made by US except that
should we be selected we will see that the
interests of the county are looked after to
the best of our ability. We expect that
other candidates for the position feel the
same as we do in this matter, therefore it is
but a question as to who the Convention
thinks is the best man for the position.

IRRIGATION.


There is probably not question that will
be brought up before the next Legislature
that will be half as important as that OF ir
rigation. There has been considerable dis
cussion in regard to how the State could most
be benefited, and all the discussion has SIM
mered down to that Of how to obtain water
for the waste land There are different
methods by which water can be obtained.
While some are much in favor Of an appro-
priaton for experimenting in sinking artesian
wells others believe that the best thing would
be to use the appropriation for the purpose OF
storing the water in the rivers. Both plans
should receive careful consideration, and no
work should be done that will smack at all
of jobbery. 1t will take more money prob
ably than most people suppose to carry out
either scheme, but no matter how much it
takes it will again be returned to the State
with compound interest if means can be
found to bring into tillable condition the
vast amount Of good land that is now lying
idle for the want Of water.
This is good year to do some legislation
that will count. If it is concluded to hold
two months session there will be ample time
to think of everything that is neceeary.
However others may feel we believe that all
work could be done in at least half the time
that it now takes. This would make some
saving to the State that could be used for
better PURPOSE

from President Cleveland in its possession,
after quoting passages from it, editorially
says: ''It would hardly be possible to put
the free trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments which Cleveland
uses are those which Golden used to employ
forty-hv years ago, and which any English
free trader would employ now. They are
purely free trade arguments, and as such we
are glad to see Cleveland using them, though
sorry for the popular infatuation which
makes it dangerous to give them their RICH

Mr.. Child's Obituary Verse.

Speaking of obituary verse, calls to mind
the experience of the Philadelphia Ledger
in this respect. A certain class of Philadel-
phians will bury their relatives and friends
in verse. They would consider 1t the
worst of bad form TO omit it, And as they
pay for it at 20 cents line, the Ledger cam
not very well object. But it struck Mr..
Childs--as he told Causeur some years ago
that tho familiar verses concerning 1.-THE
little trousers" and ''the golden stair, !" to say
nothing of those other plaintive lines about
"affiction sore long time he bore" and the
physicians that "were in vain" were get
ting trifle threadbare, and it occurred to
him that il his patrons must have poetry,
something of a little higher order might be
found So he secured the services Of
person of extensive acquaintance with the
poets to make short extracts suitable for
obituary use. These he caused to be printed
on slips, and when an afflicted person came
in with the regulation obituary notice, with
some hackneyed verse appended, the sug-
gestion was mildly made that perhaps one
/. of the selections would fit the case quite as
we'll, and would have the merit of novelty.
But it was no use. Novelty was not the
thing wanted. Only the old familiar re-
frain could satisfy. The little trousers"
must be put away" "our johnny having
climbed the golden STAIR" despite the fact
that 1t would have been far more proper
and becoming had he kept them on during
his ascent Nor could any newly found
verses quite take the place, in the matter of
comfort to the bereaved, of that dig at the
doctors implied in the statement that "phy-
sicans were in vain" 1t is to be noted,
parenthetically, that in great majority of
cases the copy" as it reached the printer,
stated emphatioally that physicians was"
in vain. way of putting it which, to the
bereaved, seemed to make the assertion
more binding. And so it came to pass that
the carefully prepared slips fell into desue-
tude, and ''our johnny continued to
"climb the golden stair" in trouserless
condition
