Woman Suffrage.

A subscriber sends us the following
contribution, with the request that it
appear in our columns, and we cheer
fully comply with the request, in ac-
cordance with our established rule of
giving to all an opportunity to air their
opinions upon all public questions
through the medium of the CHRONICLE /:
The principal theme for discussion
among a certain class Of South Dakota
citizens at the present time is the ques-
ton of Woman Suffrage; and judging
from present indications they will, in
the language of q well known ex County
Attorney, be able to pull the wool over
enough of the din fools eyes TO carry
the amendment. One of the pet argu-
ments advanced by the Amazons is tax
alton without representation. How
utterly absurd. Suffice TO say, that
taxation without representation died
and was buried with the revolutionary
war. They assert, that by giving the
women the right to vote, we will be
able to get better men into office, on ac-
count of the purity Of the ome ballot.
This IL a delusion, from the fact thDt the
men do the nominating, and all the
women would have to do would be to
vote for the nominees. To better this
condition in the least, it would be nee
essary to let the women 60 into the con
vention and assist in nominating the
candidates. How would you like to see
your daughter, or your sister, or your
mother elbowing her way around in an
average Custer county convention? The
right of suffrage could properly be ex-
tended to heads of families, i. e., in case
of the husbands death, the widow would
have a right TO vote, so long as she re-
manned single. The same element that
saddled prohibition upon us a year ago,
is now trying to saddle Women Suffrage
on Us. Some plausible arguments were
offered in favor of prohibition now let
us see what the result is. There are just
as man places in Custer county where
one can buy Intoxicating liquors as
there were before prohibition went into
effect. Drunkenness has not decreased
in the least, but Custer county's evenue
has been decreased about 5000 per an
mum. Prohibition is a fallacy, and it
has been fully dsmontrated in New
York, Pennsylvania, OHIO, Michigan,
and Minnesota years ago.
The financial condition of Wyoming
is invariably referred to. Now, the
bonded indebtedness of Wyoming is
100000. Women Suffrage was estab-
lished in Wyoming at their first terri
torial election. There were, at that
time, in the entire territory, about 5000
voters. Wyoming is as large as all of
the New England states combined, with
Indiana added. tell you they had to
do something to got some neighbors.
So BE IT.

Our Needs.

The Deadwood Pioneer has the follow
ing pertinent article which so perfectly
fits the Custer situation, that we cannot

"That Deadwood will get two grand
trunk line railroads, and two narrow

one great City ofthe Hills" is a certain
as that the sun shines and that the tides

Duty on Tin.

Perry Heath, Washington correspond
ent of the Omaha Bee, in a recent letter
to that paper, says: Senator Moody,
of South Dakota. has made a very strong
appeal to the senate in favor of encour-
agement in the way of a protective tariff
for the development of the tin mines OF
the Black Hills. Senator Moody has
lived in the neighborhood of the South
Dakota tin mines for many years, and
says that the lack Of development has
been due solely to the fact that there
has been only a slight duty levied on
imported pig tin and tin plate, and if
the duty is raised to the figures pro
posed in the bill now pending in the
senate, the disparity between the prices
of labor in this country and the straits
of MALAGA and Banta Billion and other
countries further TO the north of con-
tinental Europe, where Chinese and
Malay labor is employed. will be over
come, any amount of capital necessary
to produce tin from the mines of South
Dakota will be invested. He declares
that within two years this country can
produce all the tin necessary for home
consumption, and at prices as low as
can be made by foreign producers ex-
elusive of the duty against them. In
other words, he thinks that our mines
are much richer and 30 much easier to
get at that after the mines are 50
developed We can, with our improved
machinery, compete successfully with
any tin-producing country without any
duty whatever, but until the mines are
developed we must have a duty as great
as the senate now provides. The bill
proposes to almost treble the presnt
duty. Until Senator Moody brought a
lot of samples of tin ore and pig ore
from from the Black Hills mines. and
delivered his argument before the COM
mittee on finance yesterday before the
senate, it was not believed that any adj
ditional duty could be imposed upon
tin. but there is not now a republican
who enters opposition, and there is little
If any doubt that the proposed increase
will be adopted. Senator Moody has
been assisted in his fight by his col
league. Senator Pettigrew. In his speech
before the senate Senator Moody made
IN able exposition of the wonderful
mineral AS well as agricultural resources
of his state.

What an impetus to industry has been

fields are being prospected in all parts

will do the city infinitely more harm
than the croakers. There are too few
owners of real estate and too many rem
tiers. Real estate is held almost double
its present or prospective value, and
rents are exhorbitant. The short-sight-
ed policy of demanding high rents, thus
forcing business houses in the heart Of
the city to remain vacant is doing more
to retard the growth and prosperity of
the city than anything else except the
pernicious habit of sending east for
goods" Too many of US are waiting
for the railroads and newspapers to
build a city instead Of going TO work
ourselves. The people build cities, not
railroads. Deadwood has mineral, tim
Der and agricultural surround
ing it, sufficient to maintain a great city.
She has the room and facilities to give
TO new enterprises, to mills, and other
wealth producing industries. She has
room for all, work for all who come
with the necessary enterprise and en-
ergy to take advantage of these re-
sources and assist in building a city, but
she don't need any capital to invest in
real estate and let it lay idle waiting
for a raise. She needs capital to make
improvements On real estate capital to
invest in mercantile and manufacturing
industries men who will buy real
estate and improvements"

Police station In Davenport

A Priest Makes Display of Himself
In Rock Island and Winds Up I'm the
Police station In Davenport.
The Davenport Democrat of last even
ing states:
Soon after the train from the west
came in Yesterday morning a man made
his appearance in the region of the depot,
acting wildly and seeming to be insane.
He ran hack and forth across the tracks
while the engine was pushing cars about
the depot, denounced the railroad COM
pany and otherwise demeaned himself in
manner to cause alarm in timid minds,
till the police were telegraphed for. When
Chief Kessler arrived he used gentle
means in effecting the arrest, as he saw
that the hatless man was not in his sober
senses. The man walked short distance
but finally swore that he'd go no farther
and began to resist and citizen was
called to assist in holding him. The
patrol wagon at last took him to the
police station. where he is sleeping off his
load this afternoon.
The man was well dressed in the garb
OF the clergy of the Catholic church, and
investigation of his papers showed him to
be Father Daily, of Pennington. Inquiry
ELECTED the information that he was in
Rock Island Monday. where he was
drinking heavily, and that he has con.
siderable sum OF money with him. most
OF which he was engaged in giving away
hand>bill fashion, IS at time Father
Trevis called at the station to see him
during the day. but left with the wish that
he might be kept there till he had recov-
cred from his debauch so far as to be able
to take care of himself.

Nnpased tethe Ticker,

The Scott county bar had stormy
convention yesterday, in which the mons
nations of the recent bar convention of
the Seventh judicial district ofIowa were
disapproved by resolutions to the follow
ing effect:
Resoloed That the bar of Scott county
does not approve of the action of the re-
cent district bar convention in failing to
recommend Messrs. Howat and Waterman
for judges of this Seventh Judicial dis,
trict, for the reason that such action and
the course of our delegates at said con-
vention was not in keeping with the ex-
pressed sentiment of our bar.
Resolced further, That the prevailing
and expressed sentiment OF this bar is,
and at the time of the bar and district
convention was. IN favor of the retention
of the present judges in office, and our
delegates contrary to their authority, ig-
n0red said sentiment.
These were adopted by vote of 81 to
IA. and Mr.. L, NJ. Fisher has in accord.
ance with them published letter formsl>
ly declining the nomination at the hands
of the unpopular bar convention.

The other ornaments will all be here by

The park has already become a very
popular resort these hot evenings and the
seats so far put in are pretty well taken
advantage of. 1t Is apparent. too, that an
outside circular walk will be nec>
essary to accommodate the overflow
if the crowd increases, and this will
be made Of gravel. Mr.. Jackson is hap
py to note the appreciation shown the
work, but a noticeable unpleasantDess in
connection with the use of the seats is
the filthy habit INDUCED in by some,
whether through ignorance or disposi>
ton to mar things of beauty, of splitting
tobacco juice on the walks. This dis
gushing practice which has already been
brought to the attention of the mayor,
will have to cease. and those who show
by their indecency that they do not app
preciate the park, will be excluded from
participation in its privileges.

A special dispatch from Kansas City to
today's Chicago Tribune contains the
following of interest to the Modern
Woodmen society:
A convention of The delegates from
camps of the Modern Woodmen of Kan
sas was held here today. Nearly 200
delegates were present, and resolutions
were adopted fayo:ing state Jurisdiction
but retaining connection with head camps
and the charter of Illinois. The expressed
sentiment was strong in approval of the
action and suit brought by the attorney

posing and Furnishing the perpetrators of
the recent frauds on the order Head
Escort Hsmlin, of Emporia. and DR.. Nc

enthusiastic and harmonious.
PACIFIC JURISDICTION.
P. s. McGlynn, editor of the Moline
Dispatch. writing from Denver says:
This mornings Denver Republican has
some news interesting to Modern Wood
men. Ii seems that 1.-THE Sovereign Head
Camp of the World" has formed Pacific
Jurisdiction. with headquarters at Den
YER The head consul of this jurisdiction.
probably an sppointee of Grand Mogul
Root, is F. A. Falkenburg. ln this morn
inss paper appears a long list of officers
and committees appointed by this Head
Consul Falkenburg, including head sd.
wiser, clerk. banker. escort, Waterman,
sentry, physician, managers, ETC., and
committees galore. The order in the
west seems already to have practically
cut loose from the order in the original
states. Root has. il can be seen, estab-
lished himself as sovereign head consul,
with at least one loyal Jurisdiction in his
control. The circular of appointments
by Head Consul Falkenburg states that
the appointments are made until the
regular session of the head camp of said
jurisdiction in 1892"
