Hogglsh PRINCIPLES.

Deadwood and Hot Springs surely
showed their hoggish principles in re-
fusing to make the X. of p. encampment
at Custer a success. We thought more

strates the fact that they have followed
Deadwood's example which has always
been whole hog or none." We can
much better state the feeling Of Custer
people by the following paragrarh h taken
from the CaRoNfcLE:
"Thc members of the Custer order X
of p. and the citizens OF Custer had
labored untirinsly and spent hundreds
of dollars in making the preparations
for successful encampment complete,
and but for the treachery of Deadwood
and Hot Springs, the event would have
surpassed anything Of the character
ever held in the Hills."-Lead Tribune

Some More Innocent Abroad.

Camped Monday noon till Wednesday
noon at Cold Springs, Sept 2l-23),
About % miles southwest from Dead
wood. Killed one deer. Hunted heap,
saw several, but they kept their desir-
able carcases quite remote from our mur-
derous arms. Tho crowd are still quite
hearty. Great harmony keeps prevail
ing, and Johns luscious gems likewise.
Some other members of the body have
mixed some dough, with spoon) but
Johns gems still have the blue ribbon
onto them. Thence to next camp about
FIVE miles southeast from Cold Springs
l have not, by well-studied and special
design, gone into the usual rhapsodIes
and rawlings over the wealth and won
ders of the Hills. They are here, and
do not need the poor decoration of our
attempted description.
Tepe Springs, Friday noon, Sept. 25.--
Reached here Wednesday in cold fog
or cloud. Light rain followed and con-
cluded during the night with two-inch
snow fall. Have found some track but
no deer. Find plenty of grouse. Life
and health in these mountain springs

ues harmonious. hungry and happy.
Bright and balmy to-day. After dinner,

of our camp at this moment: The
preachers are writing, the doctor is
reading, the boss is mixing bread, the
man from New York is slicing ham, the
Iowan and John are prospecting for our
next location, and all goes merry as a
marriage bell.
In camp at Twin Springs. ten miles
from last camp, Saturday evening, Sept
26.-All tired hunting with no success.
Which i'll success makes it more difficult
for me to preserve that aforesaid perfect
harmony. The boys are doing fairly
well however. If they lose heart a
little. they don't lose good humor and
appetite. The doctor thinks he must
go home not later than next Tuesday.
Sunday Spent the day reading, writ
ing and lounging; except two of the
more brave who put in the day sort of

The Custer Mail OF a week ago, in an
article on the Circuit Judgeship, charges
Governor Meltette with rank degree
Of partisanship, and credits him with
having made certain statements, the
authenticity Of which we feel justified
in calling in question. After referring
TO the situation in the Seventh Circuit,
the Mail states that there is hardly a
possibility that Governor Mellette, in
filing the expected vacancy. will do
what Is just and fair in the matter, and
further. that he has already said that
he would not appoint democrat to the
Office, no matter how strongly recon-
mended. That the governor ever made
such statement we very much doubt,
and challenge the source of the Nails
information. He may have said, and
raid consistently, that all qualifications
being equal he would favor the republic
can. He certainly would be justified in
holding such an attitude, for the repub-
licans of the circuit are largely in the
majority, and the democrats are not en-
titled to the office. There are certain
circumstances that combined to bring
about the election of John w. Nowlin, a
democrat, with which the Mail perhaps
is not acquainted. He VAS not elected
on party issues. He was given his seat
on the bench by republican votes. 1t
was victory of the man, not the party,
and if the chief executive of the state,
in the consideration of this matter, keeps
in view the rights of suffrage" he will
appoint we'll qualified republican to
fill the vacancy, and the stigma" will
lose its "pungency.

JOHN L. JOLLY FOR REPRESENTA-
HtVH.

The republican state convention was
held at Aberdeen, Tuesday, the Goth,
and on the second ballot John l.. Jolly,
of Nermillion, was nominated. That a
Black Hills man did not receive the
nomination, is generally regretted in the
northern and western parts of the state,
but the people of the Hills have no one
TO blame but themselves. For weeks
prior TO the convention there had been
throughout the state growing senti-
ment in favor Of Hills man, and it was
conceded that should our delegates go
into the convention with their forces
united, they would be permitted to
name the man. But it was not to be.
That ever existing disastrous breach
between Pennington and Lawrence
counties was carried TO Aberdeen, and
into the convention, and the result was
the Black Hills country was not in it.
OF course, it is regretted, bnt then Rapid
City will have the satisfaction derived
from saying, "We'uns beat STAR" and
Deadwood in the knowledge that Eve
kept Coad ont anyway"
That Col. Jolley is man eminently
qualified to represent the state in con-
gress, there is not the slightest doubt.
The Sioux City Journal speaks of him
as followg:
For over quarter Of century he has
been actively and Loyalty identified with
every interest connected with the
growth and welfare of Dakota. six
times has he been member Of the ter
ritorial and state legislatures, and no
{ legislator ever accomplished more con-
scientious and effective work than he.
Upright, able, clear-headed and true
hearted, it is felt by all who know him
and who in South Dakota does not know

faithful. forceful representative Of the
people in the halls of national legisla
ton.

Mining Items,

1t was expected that by this time the
Four Mile gold mines and mills wodld
be in operation, but some of the neces-
sary machinery has not yet arrived, and
few days delay is the result. Mr..
Olmstead says that as the work progress
es, his greatest expectations are being
realized, that there is not the slightest
doubt Of the success Of the enterprise,
and that Custer has better prospects for
the future than any other town In the
Hills.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

rY Have you noticed any free trade
democratic paper which has announced
the fact that under the new tariff law
almost, if not quite. half the imports
into the United States came in free of
duty?-Toledo Blade.
Roger @. Mills ''gi<es the snap
away" He says of the Farmers Ali
ance men in Texas, that they are al
most without exception in favor of the
democratic party for all party meas
ures. They are democrats first and
Farmers Alliance afterward. The
democratic party has nothing to fear
from the alliance in my state" Repub-
lican alliance men in the north should
make a note of this. Chicago Journal.
Secretary Foster uttered preg-
nant truth when he said in Brooklyn
the other day: There is great deal
of talk about billion dollar congress
but the people should remember that
this is billion dollar couEtry" This
is not the belief of divers and sundry
democrats who seem to think it is g.
tupenny half-penny country, and that
we shall go to the demnition bow-wows
unless we are careful in expenditures
Albany Express.
US Once more we hear the yawp:
1.-THE republican party is dead!' The
same cry was heard in 1876, again in
1884, and at divers and sundry times
since that; but the republican party is
still remarkably lively, and not in i'm
mediate danger of turning up its toes
to the daisies which bloom in the polit-
zeal graveyard. Gentlemen who be-
lieve the republican party to be dead
will be doomed to realizing sense of
their own fallibility when next Novem-
ber's election day rolls around. Toledo

u There is no more sense in a cheese
pairing policy of government: expend-
iture than there is in prodigal outlay.
If billion dollars are necessary to
meet government needs, it would be
absurd to withhold the money, only to
confront embarrassments and def
ciencies later on. A large share of the
appropriations by the last congress
were voted in consequence of previous
democratic niggardliness. And with
all the chattering about the billion-dol-
lar congress, no critic has pointed out
anything to which serious objections
could be made.-Troy Times.

@D oeratic Crackers.

ay oeratic Croakers.
In company with Murat Halstead,
Secretary Foster recently visited the
Union League club in Brooklyn. There,
with the prominent men of the city,
Secretary Foster partook of an elabor-
ate, though informal, dinner. At a sub
sequent reception in the parlors Secre-
tary Foster spoke in an informal way
as follows:
"Our democratic friends have had a
good deal to say of late about the bill
lion dollar congress. His late excel
lency, Grover Cleveland, would seem
to be troubled on this score also. These
gentlemen forget all the while that
this is billion dollar country. lap
plause.l Congress did make large APP
preparations for pensions and for all
kinds of public service. In no case do
1 think, SO far as the appropriations
are concerned, were they greater than
the necessity called for. 1 am not de-
Tending the appropriations. Some of
them l would not defend. But every
move we make our democratic friends
seem to think indicates poverty in the
treasury department. Recently l
thought it was wise and prudent to pro-
pose an extension of the AZ per cent.
bonds. The treasury department is
abundantly able to pay these bonds
when they mature. In view of the fact
that $50, 600, 900 in gold had been ex-
ported within a short period of time, /
deemed it unwise to do anything just
now to decrease the volume of cur
rency in the national banks. 1t oc-
Cured to me also that if we extended
these bonds at satisfactory rate of in
terest, not more than per cent, the
bankers would buy the remainder of
these bonds and use it as a basis for
additional currency. My prediction to-
day is that these bonds may be ex-
tended and at the rate of 2 per cent. in
terest they will bear premium, a con-
dition of credit that exists nowhere in
the world besides"
