AMBITIOUS DAKOTA FARMERS
The Horny-Handed Sons of Toll
Propose to Run Things.
POLITICS IN THE NEW STATES
Possibilities Exist OF Retiring All the
Prominent Men and the Success
of the New State-News
and Notes.
South Dakota Politics.

YANNToN, Dak., May 29-[Special to
THE BEE. The Farmers Alliance gather
ing at Huron, on the 18th of June will be
the first organized effort to arrange a po-
litical slate for South Dakota, for the Oc-
tober elections The old politicians, except
such as have crept into the alliance camp,
are all paralyzed as it were and all at sea.
There are deadly hatreds in all the alliance
wigwams against the old politicians and
office-holders, and the alliance leaders are
determined that all the legislature and exec
utive offices shall be filled by horny
handed sons of toll, II they can accomplish it.
And hence many Dakotans are now trying
to play farmer who never followed plow or
drove an OK team.
"Senator'' Moody, of the Black Hills, is
represented as the owner of 800 acres of the
virgin soil of the foothills, which 1t is in
sisted, he not only personally superintends,
but that he plows, and reaps and hoes in the
fields with his own legal and senatorial
hands. But Loucks, president of the al.
be able to tell all about it at Huron.
Colonel Moody resided at Yanxton many
years and was recognized as good lawyer,
but was never known as farmer. Judge
Edgerton had some broad acres in Yankton
county, but has sold them; and since he re-
tired from the bench and removed to
Mitchell, has devoted himself to q large and
increasing practice as lawyer. Clifford is a
lawyer, and so is Mathews. Hugh j. Camp
bell, though good lawyer, has never at
tempted to play farmer, and while Pettigrew
is accounted successful real estate rustler,
he has never followed the plow. So the
rules and bylaws of the alliance will exclude
ali these, and the people may expect to hear
new names presented for the high offices,
under the new state.
Mellette Is lawyer, and no farmer, but,
as by common consent, he seems to be the
coming man for governor of the state, the
for governor, to strengthen the chances.
There are shrewd political workers
in the alliance camp, and they
will strive to make combinations to
win. The Huron meeting will begin the
work and it will be continued at Sioux Fails
during the sitting of the convention, and
from then on the campaign will be an active
one. The hottest fight will be over seats In
the legislature, and about every candidates
vote will be pledged to some one for SEN
ator, and the great fight will culminate in
that struggle. f.the alliance men can or
ganize and develop strength enough to carry
the legislature they will have everything
their own way, and all may be quiet and Sc
rene; but there will likely be aspirants
among their number who will fight bitterly
speaking in the country precincts in Yank-
ton county, but avoided the city, evidently
intending to organize the farmers as against
the professional men and politicians of the
towns. Then the prohibition vote will most
likely be cast with and for the alliance men,
so that their chances for o successful cam
paign seem fairly good

talking of the attorneys be taken in the ex-

COW KILLERS IN CONVENTION.
Butchers Discuss the Question of An
initiating the Beer Combine.

DETROIT, May 29.-The question among
the butchers now in national convention in
this city is how to resist the encroachments
of the dressed beef combine. Thomas Ar
mour, of Chicago, speaks very plainly
against the monopoly Among other things
Armour SAYS: 1.-The monopoly is now branch
ing out into the small towns. They compel
the small retail butcher to buy Chicago
dressed beef. If he does not the concern
will put in a small retail branch and sell
meat so cheap that the poor butchers would
be ruined. You can't tell some diseased
meat when dressed. If the steer has lump
jaw or pneumonia, there is no sign of it in
the dressed carcass, yet IT is unhealthful
food. The remedy is for inspection on the
part of every STATE which means practically
that beef shall not come into the state
already dressed. This convention will take
a very strong stand in favor of more legisla-
tion.m Vice-President Mooney, OF New York,
said there was not so much competition with
the monopoly in New York city, but still the
influence OF the Chicago concern could be
felt and was growing.

bar of this county, was fined, to-day, SO by
Judge Tiffany, for contempt of court, and
when the fine was assessed Mr. Albert ex-
pressed himself that $40 was infinitely too
small to measure his contempt for the court,
The Judge then ordered the sheriff to remove
him from the room. The affair seems to be
the result of an old feud. The jury in attend
ance was deslrous of paying the fine, but
after weighing the matter refrained from
doing so for the reason that it would not be
compatible with their duty as jurymen.

CHICAGO, May 29-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. The Chicago, Burlington g.
Northern gave notice this morning of re-
duction on June in rates between Chicago
and st. Paul amounting 10 nearly 33 per cent
on all classes of freight The present rates
on the six classes are soc, 45c 35c, 20c lie
and 14c. The rates to he made are 34c Bic,
25c, 14c, 111Sc and lie. The reduction is the
largest ever made on western road ex cept
during rate war The Chicago, Burlington
& Northern is not in the Interstate Com
merce Railway association, and consequently
is only bound by the Interstate commerce
act in giving notice of reduction. The reason
given for the cut Is that corresponding rates
have been made via the Canadian Pacific
Said western freight agent in speaking OF
of the reduction:
''The Chicago, Burlington & Northern
must, of course, meet the Canadian Pacific
rates. but it will have disastrous effect on
the other ST. Paul roads, which must meet
the reduced rates. Nine-tenths of the Chi
cago, Burlington s. NORTHERN business is
through business, and consequently it
M nrv lose low but tse by its oss1 Fs
1t makes my hair stand up, though, to think
of the losses to the ST. Paul roads, which de-
pend largely on local business. The Chi
cago, Burlington g. Northern is a God.send,
though, to Chicago eastbound roads. If it
were not in existence the Canadian Pacific
would gobble practically all the traffic from
the northwest.
The Wisconsin Central and Chicago, st.
Paul g. Kansas City Immediately gave no.
tice that they would meet the reduction, Of
fcals of the latter road, declaring the cut to
be an outrage. 1t is expected that the ST..
Paul g. Northwestern will give notice to-
morrow. The Rock Island has not decided
to meet the rate, their line to ST. Paul being
$50 miles longer than the short line Presi-
dent Cable, of the Rock Island, had not con-
sidered the question, but thought he would
not meet the rate
Conflicting reports were flying around to-
day concerning the contemplated cut of 8
cents in the grain rate from st. Louis. The
Pennsylvania and Ohio & Mississippi re.
ceived advices from St. Louis that rates
were firm, and the Lake Shore heard that
additional grain was being bought in the
