Equal SUFFRAGE societies are organizing
all over eastern South Dakota. They
propose to boycott all Office seekers who
are not with them and will not support
anyone for Office who is not in favor OF
woman suffrage. They held a conven-
tion at Huron last Saturday, that
WAS attended largely by farmers, who
take to it kindly, as the ladies fill them
up with hot coffee and other goodies as
soon as they arrive in town. Ii the
ladies Of this city would organize and
hold their meetings Saturday with the
coffee and hot lunch attachment they
would secure the entire farmer vote this
faI.-Republican.
This IT. the first time that the Re
publican orits hackers have asserted that
the farmers vote could be bought. Last
season one Of the rings leading candi-
dates was going to buy all the farmers
outside the Hills for $500, but there was
a4hitch somewhere; it didn't work. Bet

side OF the house, the farmer will stand

Congressman Picker has introduced 8

the same effect on the national

seriously, there are good points in the
bill, and sooner or later somes such meas
ure must be adopted. 1t would tend to

The Hot Springs star is level on finan-
ces. The following is to the point: ga
great cry is being raised by the money
sloaners and curb-stone brokers against
the bill that provides for the taxing OF
mortgages. The legislature should pass
the bill. II it is found lmpracticablean and
Injurious, it can be repealed in twelve
months, and an opportunity to repeal
the measure after q twelve months trial
will not present itself again. The Star
does not believe there will be any occa-
sion for repeal. The only South Dakota
property that an eastern capitalist can
invest in and escape the payment O
taxes is a mortgage. The capitalist car
invest $1,000 in a mortgage and be ex
elnpt from taxation; but if he inves'
$1,000 in a piece OF land, he must pay
taxes. Both are Investments. Wher
ia the difference?"

The Glare" Tin Miner, in quoting
from the Record article on Pierre reports,
says: "The whole proceedings seem to
have consisted in disagreements among
prohibitionists or alliance men. Too
many members are trying to make a
reputation, looking to the election next
fall" No doubt the latter is true
OF some, but there is not near
the trouble from prohibition and
alliance members that there is
from the factions trying to thwart
them. The only obstruction on prohi-
bition legislation came from the republi-
can mugwumps Of the Black Hills. The
effort of one wing OF the republican
party to belittle alliance republicans
whom they cannot handle, has also con-
sumed no little time. Don't talk of men
using public time for their own ends and
then under the article print an extract
showing that Moody has introduced a
bill to give every town OF 1000 inhabi-
tants a public building. Mr.. "Hare''
Miner. the structure in which you live is
too frail for you to cast many stones.

In nearly all matters connected with
railroads, America has a %vernacular pecu-
larry her own as distinguished from the
technical terms employed by the English.
In fact, "railroad' itself is a barbarous
Americanism utterly Objectionable to
John Bull, who says railway" The Eng
fish station becomes in this country
"depot," to our shame and England's
glory. America has palace cars, silver
palace cars, express cars, baggage cars,
mail cars, sleeping cars and sleepers.
Poor old England knows nothing of such
luxuries as SO described, but her people
enjoy them under less pretentious titles.
The ''buffer" of the old country becomes
the ''bumper" of the new; the English
stoker is our American fireman; the Brit
ish "driver" answers to the name of "engi-
neer" in the United States, and john
Bulls ''guards" in this country wear the
brass mounted uniforms of "'conductors.'
English gradients" become with US SIM
ply "grade," and when in the absence of
curves, we speak of 'air lines" the
Englishman says, saw, beg pardon, tc
what do you refer?' Cars are '.switched'
i'll America and "shunted" in England
the English know nothing about "frogs,'
but term them "iron plates where two
lines intersect." Then we have all kind
of "deadheads," from the tramp to TIN
legislator; trains are ''derailed'' and en-
gines are ''ditched." England knows no
the meaning of such terms. But when W,
drop down to the "candy butcher" TO
train boy, "rock pile'' for sandwich, 'tele
scope" for collision and "scalper" TO
ticket seller, John Bull says: saw, g
wight away; yon are coarse."-Pionee

That farming as q business is Suppressed,
all acknowledge. That relief mustcome,
and that quickly, no thinkingfarmercan
denie. Nor can it come in any way ex-
cept by organized effort. 1t takes very
little study of the situation to arrive at
this conclusion. Now the alliance is an
organization OF farmers who agree to
work in every legitimate way, forthe adj
vancement OF their interest. That is all
there is to it. No other definition is
needed. OF course, in any large body OF
men there are many ideas, and onenotin
the order hears a great many plans, and
a great many are proposed and advo-
Gated, but the majority rule. You will
find one class OF men ready to declare it
a democratic scheme to capture the re.
publican party, and perhaps the very
next crowd you meet will assert that the
republicans run it. Politically, there is
Just n thing we can assure you-al

The effort to repeal the tilnber-culture
act on the grounds that it has proved a
failure, which is being strongly advocated
by Il few journals: will work as strongly
against the country as the publication

raise trees, what is the country goodfor?
Surely no one wants to make theirhome
in IL country where grateful shade and
the blessings OF homegrown fruit cannot
be enjoyed. But it is nottrue. While i,
may be well to repeal the timberculturt
act on the ground that the public do
main has become so reduced that it had
best be only acquired under the home
stead act, to repeal it, allowing parties
to purchase at S1.25 per acre, is simply
a scheme OF those who would acquire

AS The UNION prophesied, the appro-
priation for the school OF mines has
been raised, in the house bill, and
that through the efforts of our
representatives. Much hard, quiet
work was done before the final test,
when Mr.. Hughes rose equal to the oc-
casion and gained, not only the measure,
but praise without stint, OF which the
following is a specimen:
Dick Hughes has long had the reputa-
tation OF being Il OF the best editors in
South Dakota, and yesterday proved
himself also a powerful logical and con-
vincing debator, and the Free Press on
graduates him; it congratulates him on
his oratory: on his logic and on his sue
cess in convincing the legislature that the
measure which he advocated vas meri-
torious. AS a matter OF fact the scope
OF the school OF mines has been but little
understood east OF the river and it but
needed the matter presented in the prop
er light to convince the legislators that
it should be sustained. \ Mr..
Hughes, OF Pennington county, added
anotherSbig wreath to his crown, in his
rush to the breech in defence Of the school
of mines, during the consideration OF the
allowance provided for that institution
by the appropriation bill. There had
been a strong antipathy against really
allowing anything to this institution,
and Mr.. Hughes and his friends have had
a hard, uphill work to perform, to gain
favor in the eyes Of the committee. The
allowance provided by the report was
$5,4SO. Mr.. Hughes took the floor, and
in an earnest, plain, forcible manner,
proceeded to e~nlighten the members on
some OF the merits of dissatisfaction. 1t
was interesting throughout and his man
ly plea forfair play won friends on the
floor, many OF whom, OF course, had not
given the matter much, if any, thought.
He..finally offered an amendment, raising
the allowance to $4,000. Col.Parker,
of Lawrence, came to his support with
earnest. well-timed speech and the
amendment finally carried.-Pierre Free

There seems to be no doubt now that
the Dakota Midland, which is nothing
more or less thar the Illinois Central,
will be built from Pierre to Rapid City
within the next twelve months. Already
a town has been plotted in Nowlin county
about midway between the two points, to
be known as Midland. This town is also
on the proposed extension of the Milwau-
.kee west from Chamberlain, which will
also be built to Rapid City within a year,
The G. & N. w. contemplate the extension
of a line west from Forest City, which
will intesect the F. E. g. NJ. v. about forty
miles southwest of Minnesota. Work will
begin on this extension as soon as the
frost leaves the ground. The G. & N. W.
will connect Pierre and Forest City by a
road to be built on the east bank of the Mis-
souri,. Within two years the L. E. & M.
v. will be extended to connect with the
Northern Pacific, as will also the B. & M

We have it on reliable authority that
the coal expert of the Northwestern COM
pany, who has given the Sundance coal-feld
the most thorough test, has rendered his
report to the company, unhesitatingly
pronouncing the coal superior to any in
the west, the coal measure all that could
be wished, and that the mines have the
best coal roof in the world-solid sand
stone, and the bed solid, firm, clear, clean
coal, unsurpassed for its steam making
qualities and fuel purposes generally.
The news Of the report having been
rendered to the Northwestern company
with the above endorsement of Sundance
coal reached Sundance Tuesday, and, very
naturally. caused the citizens of that
enterprising town to rejoice with exceed.
ing great JOY. Anvils were fired, speech
making and other manifestations suitable
to the expression of their feelings in
dulged in till nature was exhausted. The
report practically closes the agreemen'
made with the Sundance people by the
Northwestern last fail, and guarantee:

season. and the permanence of the pluck!
