THE SUB.TREAsURY sCHEME.

mented upon. A reply has been pre-
pared by Assistant State Lecturer
Scott, but owing to it's length and the
lateness of its receipt we are unable
to use it this week.
The careful reader of Mr.. Harris
article will find very little in it that
demands a reply. Like all attempts
made against this measure, it betrsys
want of knowledge of what it really
is, and what it proposes to do; and
assertion is offered where argument
is required. We shall very briefly
notice the most important points.
The Colonel is mistaken when ne
says an additional claim was made at
Ocala to the broad principles upon
which victory had been nearly won.
The sub-treasury scheme was pro-
mulgated at ST. Louis in December,
1889, was under discussion all over
the country for year, and was sim
ply ratified at Ocsla by instructed
delegates, with only three dissenting
votes.
Mr.. Harris says it is a scheme,
modelled in all it's essential features
after the most vicious and corrupt
practices which we had condemned"
Does he institute any comparisons to
show that this statement is true? Not
one. Does he offer any argument
whatever to prove it to be true? Not
an iota. 1t is claim resting on his
bare, unsupported assertion. Does
he tell us what class Legislation is?
Does he offer solitary item of argu-
ment to prove his proportions
Nothing of the kind. There are two
things necessary to be done by those
who claim this measure to be in the
nature of class legislation: First,
they must clearly define class legisla-
tion and point out the vicious feat
ures which characterize it; second,
they must show that the provisions of
the proposed measure are such as to
bring it within the terms Of that def
milton. This would be a logical pro-
ceeding. Is there any attempt to do
this? Not a line or a syllable Of it.
Class legislation can only be properly
defined as that which is designed in
the interest of one class and against
the LEGITIMATE interests Of other
classes. A law cannot be justly
claimed to be class legislation simply
because it is not universal in its sp-
plication. Such q definition would
place a large per cent. Of our most
necessary and wholesome legislation
in this list. 1t remains, therefore, for
the opponents of this measure to give
us something better than assertion
upon this subject. We are not obsti-
nate, and only require satisfactory
demonstration of it's vicious character,
when we stand ready to abandon 1t.
Colonel Harris exhibits his abso-
lutte misconception of the sub-treas-
urv scbeme when he saws Il ia ga

A Rival for Wind Cave.

Twelve miles west Of Custer. and at
the mouth of Helrs Canon, is located a
subterranean chamber or chambers that
bids fair to equal il not surpass this cele-
brated Wind Cave. For some time it
has been known that a miner who goes
by the name of Parks had discovered
and located cave in that section of
country, but just where it was. how ex-
tensive it might be. or what it contained
was not known. Wednesday morning a
party made up Of DR.. Taylor, c. c. Crary
and G. A. Frazer Of this city, and Drs.
Everett and Winnett Of Lincoln, droye
out to Hell's Canon. determined to ex-
plore the mysterious cave. They re-
turned late in the afternoon enthusiastic
over what they had seen and loaded
with beautiful specimens. They found
the entrance to the main chamber to be
an opening in the face Of the rock about
Is inches in diameter, through which
they were compelled to worm their way
with no little difficulty. This narrow
passage opens into a chamber about 60
feet square and l2 feet In height, from
which lead Vulnerable passages that the
gentlemen were At that time unprepared
to penetrate. IN the light of the candles
the walls Of the cave presented won
derfui and beautiful appearances. Stalac-
tites, stalagmites and petrifactions are
abundant, hanging from above and ris-
ing ghost like from the floor, while the
walls are jutted With agates and crystals
Of rare clearness and brilliancy. The
party were not prepared to explore any
thing of such magnitude, and returned
only half satisfied, and confident that
further investigations will prove Bear
Cave" las they have dubbed it) equal
to anything of the kind ever discovered
Other parties will visit the cave soon
prepared to explode the labrynth OF
passages and chambers that as yet have
not resounded with the tread of a human
being,

the little brook falls suddenly into d
deep canon. Looking far down toward
the north a beautiful mountain land
scape is framed by towering walls of
the canon. Many Of the party scramble
ed down from one huge tcck TO anothet
the walls on either side becoming rug
ged and higher at every turn. On their
return the adventurous ones posed on
the boulders while Mr.. Grablll, the seen
ic artist Of the Black Hills, pictured az
much Of the canon as his camera could
take in a. single sweep. Footsore and
weary they were. ready to recline on the
yelvety moss and partake Of a delicious
lunch prepared by the ladies of Custer.
This was doubly tempting spread upon
snowy linen, held in place here and
there by stone placed in the center Of
a bunch Of sweet fern. At the close Of
the repast Mr.. o. J. Taylor Of Sioux City
expressed the thanks of the tourists
for the kind and unexpected hospitality
received and also their admiration and
astonishment at the wonderful, grandeur
Of the park. Mr. Taylor stated in con-
versation that he saw nothing finer dur

shaft has reached depth Of sixty feet,
on each side the miners are busy drift
ing night and day, ard one tunnel has
penetrated a distance Of 80 feet and an
other of AZ feet. The force of men is
being increased just as rapidly as room
can be made for them. and at present
about fifteen are employed on the two
shifts. Up TO the time of the shutting
down of the Omaha smeIters there had
been h6 cessation bf the ore shipments,
and the returns from each car brought
JOY to the hearts of the owners, and
added impetus TO the work of developing
the mine.
Dan Phinney has six men at work ON

now drifting in two directions, expect

are being worked for silver, the other
four for tin. Specimens ofths rock that

its owners are impatiently awaiting the

Mining company has the property bond

paid, and the bonds expire November
10th. If the company takes the proper

The Labor Picnic.

The Central Miners Union held a
very interesting meeting at their hall
on Wednesday night. about 80 members
OF the Lead union being present. A
committee on arrangements for the
Labor Day picnic was appointed as fol-
low j. G. Clancy, j. A. Macarthur, II.
Plunket, A. Il. Creary and j. Richards.
To work In conjunction with this COM
mittee the following gentlemen from
Lead were appointed A. Ferguson.
Geo. Godfrey, s. Jeffries. j Hawkins
and Ed. Simmons. Whitewood was
selected as the place whereat to hold
the picnic. A strong sentiment of the
union was in favor of holding 1t at Hill
City but the idea came to late to carry a
majority ofthe votes. Every effort will be
put forth to make the event one long to
be remembered and the committees will
succeed, as they have the support Of en-

This blow falls with great severity on
the little hamlet up the road as Its
citizens thought they had q cinch on
the picnic and it's papers advertised it
extensively last week. How they could

that is Hill City shouldn't "cry over
