THE FARMERS MOVEMENT.

THE FARMERS MOVEMENT.
There seems to be no reason to
Ioubt the statement Of the President
( Of the Farmers National Alliance
who declares that there will be in
the next Congress thirty eight rep.
resentatives who were elected di.
rectly through the efforts of his
order, and that there are probably
a dozen more who are pledged to
assist the aims and purposes of the
organization. 1t would appear then,
that about one-fourth of the Demo
cratic membership of the next House
will be made up OF representatives
of the Alliance or kindred associ
atoms of farmers. tits true that these
representatives will not be numerous
enough to hold the balance of
power, or to control the Demo-
cratic caucus, but they al e sufficient
~ formidable for mischief in the
Democratic ranks, and will undoubt-
edly prove thorn in the flesh OF
the leaders of that party. In Georgia,
in South Carolina, in Tennessee and
in North Carolina the Democratic
organization during the recent CAM
paign was entirely under the control
Of the farmers, and there is not one
of the other Southern States in
which they have not shown their
power either in Democratic conven-
Ations, or at the polls. In the Western
Yates they have apparently acted
Independently of both parties, al
,hough they have thrown their
rtrength for the most part to Demo-
ratio candidates, where they had
10 chance of electing candidates of
heir own. In Kansas, Minnesota
LIMOS, Michigan, and South Da-
ota, they have undoubtedly been
e chief agent in bringing about
Republican reverses. 1t is plain

at us by our amiable brother Writ o.

recent prohibition campaign in this

hopeless competition with members
of his own party, for the saloon in

Hot Springs.

Among the many other advantages
which Rapid City offers as a place to live
i'll may DO mentioned its closeness to
Hot Springs. One can leave here at
half past four in the afternoon and ar
rive at the Springs the same evening.
Or. if solely gu pleasure bent. the trip
can be made in n or two days in a
carriage over, it is true, rather rough
roads, but amid scenery as grand as can
be found on the continent. Persons
coming here from the east on going
through the Hills for the first time are
always surprised. Though they may
have visited or even lived in the ALLIE
ghcnies or other mountains of the east
the Black Hills are strange to them.
That it will in time become fashionable
to spend a mouth or two in the Hills
cannot be doubted. They are full of
interest from end to end and from cen
tire to circumference. Hot Springs will
always remain n of the principal
points Of interest, especially to those
who visit the Hills for their health.
The number of people from Rapid City
and other points in the Hills who are
constantly going to the Springs and re-
turning to their homes cured or great.
l.y relieved of their ailments is the best
advertisement they can have, for Their
constantly increasing home patronage
is a guarantee of the wonderful healing
power of their waters.

Will lead grateful souls their God to adore.

That gees in the organized forms all around
A life tina: lie hid: and yet from which springs
The tree, plant and flower, out of the ground;

1t lives not for eelf, nor dies like n clod:

Some day the Dakotas, North and
South will enter largely into more di-

must needs raise wheat and flax seed
largely, and other seeds that will bear
transportation long distances. 1t is
upon these the husbandman must de-
pend chiefly for ready cash. Then

Dakota and its Climate e.

FROM the IralFlc Farmer.
The papers have lately had much to
say about Dakota, its people, politics
and its drouthy climate. Well, the
people of North Dakota have repudiat.
ed the Legislative lottery-seheme, and it
is to be hoped they will repudiate the
solons who attempted to foist this mfa-
nous scheme upon the honest people of
that State.
In North Dakota rains have been
propitious and wheat-seeding is going
forward nicely. In South Dakota the
same condition exists as to moisture,
and it is believed that seed enough will
he forthcoming to supply the necessit-
les of the people where drouth prevailed
last year.
1t is no unusual thing in the settle.
ment of a new region of country to cry
drouth. 'Drouthy Kansas was for
years the derisive exclamation against
this now great grain and stock-feeding
State. Yet its people kept on increas-
ing. Wheat, corr and other agricul-
tural products, including vast herds Of
cattle, grew and p~rospcred, until Kan
sas stands today as one of the important
States of the great West. Such will
probably I've the result in respect to the
twin Dakotas.
