A Grizzly in tic Hills.

George Clark, Of Hermosa, who
came IN on this mornings passenger,
brought news Of the discovery of
Charles Jones, a miner we'll known IN
the Hills, nearly dead from wounds in
flicted by a bear, at a point about two
mile south of the Eta mine yesterday.
When found Jones was at first
thought TO he dead, and his injuries
which consist of terrible cuts aud lace
rations, from the claws of the animal,
probably a grizzly particularly upon
the left arm and shoulder, are serious
and probably fatal.
A telephone message from Hill City
states that DR.. Jones who was called
to attend the wounded man, is of the
opinion that he will recover. No trace
could be found of the bear, which from
the character of the wounds is sup
posed to be n of the few grizzlies
yet lurking in the remoter fastenesses
of the Hills.-Rapia Republican.

Accident on the IL. T. n. Grade.

Word reached the city yesterday
morning that a terrible accident had
happened on the b. & NJ. grade near
Castleton. BY telephone from Hill City
the following particulars were received.
At half past three o'clock Thursday
afternoon while the men we're working
IN the large open cut on Chamberlain &
SINNERS work near Castleton a large
mass Of rock and dirt from the top of
the cut broke loose and came down on
them. A laborer by the nance of John
son was instantly killed and j. Black
had his leg broken and was seriously
injured otherwise, but will 1t is thought
recover. The foreman, Pat Donovan,
was also seriously injured but had no
bones broken and will pull through.
From the information received it would
appear that the accident was one OF
those which could neither he foreseen
or guarded against.-Ropid Journal.

Tho Equal Suffrage Meeting.

Last evening at the M. Z. church our
citizens were favored with addresses
by the renowned Susan B. Anthony,
of New York, and Rev. Anna II. Shaw,
Of Boston, on the pending equal suff-
rage question. BY $50 o'clock
the church was OVERLOOKING and stand
ing room was in demand. A contin-
ued round of applause greeted the lady
speakers upon their entrance. Major
II. z. Eaton presided, and after OPEN
ing prayer by Rev. H. ID. Smith, intro
duced Miss Anthony, who held the
vast assemblage deeply interested IN a
most concise and convincing argument
and appeal for the acknowledgements
the women of South Dakota. Miss
Anthony stated that she came TO talk
to the men, and was glad to see there
were many present. She recited many
instances of the power of the ballot,
and gave numerous illustrations Of
the degradation of a race or of a peo-
pie denied the privilege Of suffrage.
She demonstrated her ability as a
speaker and her familiarity with the
subject in hand by quoting innum.
cradle dates and statistics, which
would tend to overwhelm any doubt
ing Thomas" present.
Miss Shaw was next presented to the
audience. She gave many incidents
in her experience showing the unequal
ity of the sexes as they now exist, and
that the simple remedy of the enfran-
chisement Of women would change it
all for the betterment of the feminine
race. Miss Shaw is a most interesting
speaker, carrying the attention of her
hearers with her remarks in a good
humored way, and at the same time
presenting serious facts, which could
not but be impressive. Altogether it
was a great treat to Hot Springs
citizens, and the ladies were received
with encouraging applause at every
point made.

The Independent Meeting.

At the Independent meeting last
evening w. I. LaFleiche made a short
Introductory address in which he brief
ly stated why the independent party
vas organized, the reason being that
neither Of the existing parties would
pass such laws as would ecu to
the laboring men their just rights
and a free and untrammeled expression
Of their wishes upon political question.
MIR. LaFleiche was followed by Hon.
Fred Zipp. The speaker regretted the
absence of ladies and then said he was
present to discuss all of the political
issues Of the day and not the tariff
question alone.
Civilization and GENERALIZATION go
together; strikes and labor troubles
follow; but following the report of
these is the comment that there seems
to be no other remedy.
The period during and following the
civil war is called the period Of intla-
ton. I call it the period Of prosper
ity. Every man was we'll fed and we'll
clothed, and there was plenty of money
with which to do the business Of the
country. have been called an agitator
and did not deny 1t. Muskets are the
weapons Of animals; agitation is the
weapon of men. cloud Cheers.)
The speaker then discussed the finan-
cial problem, and then expressed him
self IN favor of the government issue
ing certificates to the farmers for their
grain, as it issues silver certificates for
the silver of the country, such a mea-
sure being equally rs practical and
more elastic; and was just a polite as
to provide bonded warehouses for the
storage of the surplus whisky of the
country, but nothing of the kind
would be done until the laborlng men
of the county were represented in con-
grcss.
The government ownership of r. R.
in all countries where tried is salts
factory.
The Independent party believes in
direct taxation. Their purpose was to
break up the republican party in the
north and the democratic party in the
south and then only the independent
party would remain.
Quite a large audience listened very
attentively to the speaker and were
much more enthusiastic than the audi
ence Bartlett Trip addressed on Sat-
urday evening.

Republican Meetings.

We call attention to the series Of
republican meetings being nov held.
throughout Fall River county. Moth
ing is lost by a fair and honest discus
sion of the principles Of the party and.
the qualifications Of the candidates
presented. The republicans have moth
ing to fear in a fair and candid inves-
tigation of the principles of the party
and close scrutiny of the candidates on
their ticket. Let every voter, no mat
ter what his politics may be. come out
and hear the speakers and see the men
who r asking Tor your suffrage.
Vote the straight republican ticket.

The New West Commission.

A notable work is being done by
the New West Education Commits
sion, and in the ten years of its
existence it has encouraged the
growth of schools and education in
Utah and New Mexico until now
there are 32 schools and 3,277 pu-
pills to represent Professionalism in
those territories. The prime OBJ
ject of the commission is to oppose
Mormonism, and it believes the
surest means to this end is the en-
lightcnment of mind through
Christian education. Impatient
minds may account this, but a
dilatory way to counterfeit an evil
that is established in the social
body and has determined growth.
Mormonism, however, is less easy
to eradicate than the practice of
%polygamy is easy to control, and it
is with the false principles that the
commission has to contend, having
nothing to do with the process of
law that shall check the active OPP
Grafton of the principles.
No one supposes that the &C
q~uiesccnce of the Mormon Church
in the law it has in vain attempted
to invalidate means that the church
has abandoned its faith. From
the Mormon point of view there is
no wrong in violating the law of
the United States if it may be done
secretly SO as to avoid unpleasant
consequences. Open polygamy is
at an end in Utah, but the secret
contraction of plural marriages
may be continued in despite of the
government and its agents. The
Mormans have been beaten, but
they have not been dispersed and
cannot be dispersed. They are as
strong in one way as they ever
were, and the only practicable way
OF destroying their influence is by
educating the common mind to an
appreciation of the enormity of
the moral wrong it is the plan Of
Mormonism to perpetuate.
1t may require two or three gen.
erations to secure desired results,
but without the intervention of the
school the warfare against Nor
monism will be intcrminable. The
theories of Mormonism are fasci-
mating to the ignorant mind when
perniciously and mendaciously
presented as they arc by Mormon
missionaries. This influence must
be counteracted less by force than
by reason, less by law than by
moral and mental enlightenment,
and the commission has entered
the field that promises the largcs,
ultimate rewards. The work is
one in which the whole country
should be deeply and actively in.
terested. 1t is a work having 70,
its aim the development of ma.
tional purity and decency, and il

live up to the last-named provision? 1t
is evident that the supervisor is to have
the scrutiny Of other boxes than those
containing ballots for congressman, and
that is in direct conflict with the trend
of public opinion of the day, for the
cry is for secret ballot and not pub
lie one. Further on in the same section
the election of congressman is left to
chance, and a sort of Louisiana lottery
scheme is invented by which second
ballot may be avoided and the game of
blind mans buff substituted for an hon.
est election. 1t says that, ii there are
more uallots in the box than voters,
then one of the inspectors of election
and one of the supervisors of election
shall be blindfolded and placed with
his back or their backs to the said box,
from which they shall publicly draw
so many ballots as shall be equal to the
excess, which ballots shall be forthwith
destroyed, and the votes for the persons
named in such withdrawn ballots shall
be deducted from the votes entered for
such persons on the tallies." ~
A more dishonest piece of legislation
does not exist than that. 1t does not re-
cord the will of the majority, it does not
aim at justice, and it certainly does not
express the sense of those who voted in
earnest. Where number of ballots in
excess of the number of votes are found
in a box it shows that illegal voting
has been done, but instead of making
an honest effort to find out and punish
those who did the illegal voting seq
ond wrong is perpetrated in drawing, at
random, number of votes without
questioning whether they are the illegal
ones.
That law passed the house of repre-
sentativeS without the advice or con
sent of the people of the United States.
1T was hastily passed and without due
consideration. 1t should be reconsid-
cred and published to the world, so that
those who are to be governed by it may
know what it is i'll time to express their
opinion on it before its passage into
law.
According to rule there is no proba-
bility that that will be done, and the
next best thing is for the people to send
in their protests to the senate against
its passage by that body. Our mem
bers should act at once and ask the
senators from the various states to voice
their sentiments on this measure when
it comes up for considerations. The
name of every congressman who voted
for that law should be published to the
world, and the citizens who are opposed
tOsuch high-handed work should scratch
them ON the next election day.
