The Sundance Republican speaks in
glowing terms of the bountiful crops
raised in Crook county this year and
booms the country in buoyant, hopeful
words as a farmers paradise; yet upon
the opposite page a terrible cyclone
overhangs the tlllers OF the soil in
the form OF twenty-three mortgage fore
closures all made by one loan company.
At this rate OF foreclosing, Crook county
farms will soon all be in the hands OF
monopolists. Some OF the farmers will
undoubtedly redeem their land bv Sac
riicing this bountiful crop In paying
costs and fees and thereby obtain a new
loan. But eventually the new loan with
interest must be met and an eXtention
can only aggravate the distress 1T seeks
to assuage Would not the sub-treas-
ury plan be a god-send to the Crook
county farmers just now, and would it
not rid them OF the blood suckers which
are holding them vampire like until they
can extract the last drop OF blood in the
form OF property or labor.

Organization INST the main spring where

Organization lsSthe main spring where
in lies the motive power which propels
onward to success every movement
whether in the affairs Of city, state or
nation. In this day and age it seems
almost futile for II to attempt to fight
the battles OF life single handed when
combinations on every hand afford the
most convincing proof that "ln unity
there is strength There is no more
apt illustration OF this trite saying to be
found anywhere than right here in our
midst. Bankers all charge similar rates
Of interest and exchange; millers pay a
uniform price for wheat and have a uni
form price for selling similar grades OF
flour; printers charge legal rates; mer-
chants, upon all staple articles, agree
upon uniform prices;lawyers nave their
bar associations and a fixed. scale OF
fees for drawing papers or rendering
legal services; doctors have their medi-
cal associations and it's stipulated fee
bill land it is no small one either);
underwriters take insurance at board
rates only, and even undertakers do not
vary in their charges for the lastservices
rendered the dead. Trace the principle
OF organization along it's course and
follow it through all the ramiications
of society and you will find all lines
thoroughly organized except the toilers
for daily bread. Here alone labor is
d~isorganized, unable to fix uniform
prices for any kind OF service, disgrun-
tied at the wages received, dissatisfied
with existing conditions but making no
effort to improve them, seemingly CROP
ing in helpless dependency, trusting to
chance or circumstances and not to its
own efforts to better it's condition.
While organizations are instituted for
the education and advancement OF the
tolling masses, it appears that many OF
the laboring class are content to remain
the slaves of capital, preferring to loaf
in saloons rather than unite with So
cleties designed to improve their condi-
telligence of American w%orkingmen to
publish these facts. but they are never
theless true. The laborer must work
out his own destiny and it only can be
done by united action. Labor can only
keep pace and cope with other organiza-
tions by organizations by organizing
itself, Let every laboring man Think the
matter over and resolve to do his part
toward placing the dignity OF labor
upon an equal basis with other lines OF
industry.

Recent statistics in England show that,
forty-fiye per cent or nearly one-half OF
the people are at one period OF their
lives objects of CHARITY. AS the United
States is gradually tending to the same
social and Industrial conditions as
Europe, and pauperism is steadily on
the increase, would it not be well for u
officials having the matter in charge, to
formulate some place for the decent and
economical care OF the poor. Anyone
through misfortune or adverse circum-
stances may become a public charge
through no fault of his own, and having
become such is it not proper for d civil
l,zed people to care for its poor in a civil
lized and humane manner? We give lib
orally to build fine churches, to minister
t, the spiritual welfare OF man, while on
the other hand we are very pernurious

1t is the duty Of all enterprising citi-
zens to avail themselves OF every legiti-
mate and honorable method to advance
the interests and facilitate the growth
and prosperity Of u beautiful city.
But we believe that questionable meth
dds are some times resorted to in order
to encourage immigration and settle
ment which do not rebound to the bene-
fit of the city or add to the population
OF the county. While working in Dead
wood last spring, a prominent realestate
dealer from Rapid City visited that city
and had himself interviewed in one Of
the dailies SO the effect that Rapid City
already had work enough projected to
give immediate employment to eight
hundred men. Such mlsstatementsw were
the cause OF innundatng upon us some
wandering hordes OF working men, who
being unable to find the anticipated
work were Obliged to quit the town IN
disgust. The only visible effects such
false statements have upon the town is
to cause some respectable citizens al
ready located here to leaye rather than
be imposed upon by some townsite
boomer. People enough have come to
Rapid City within the last five years,
for the purpose Of locating, to have
made it a city OF considerable proper
tions had they remained here; but many
found the conditions different from what
they had been led to believe and de-
parted, none too well pleased with the
country. 1t seems not inopportune at
this time to call the attention OF those
who are advertising our wonderful re-
sources to the outside world for the pur-
pose OF increasing our capital and pop,
ulation, to the fact that within the city
limits are a whole lot OF people, good
citizens in every respect, who are haltlne
between two opinions, whether to seek
some more favored locality or remain IL
Rapid City and wait for better times
Would it not be well for those who
have the city's interests so deeply i'm
bued in their nature, to make some
effort to give employment to those O.
citizens in need OF work WHO must sc
elsewhere unless employment is pro
vided? Better make some effort to re-
tain those already with us, rather than
devote too much time in seeking, those
we know not Of. Make the town pros
porous and the people contented and thu
outside world will not be long in finding
out our condition, our privileges ant
our resources.

WASHINGTON. July 9. A letter has
been received by government officials
here which appears to give color to the
report that a revolutionary movement is
being fomented in one of our neighbor-
ing republics The writer says a man
calling himself Captain Annett has been
engaged at Norfolk. Va, in shipping men
for treasure hunt in Mexican waters.
The captain said he wanted only seventy
five men but the writer is informed he
has shipped over 200; moreover. he has
learned that vessel which is to carry
the party is now secretly engaged in tax
ing aboard a large quantity of arms and
ammunition at a port on Long Island
sound. The writer says that he
does not want to get himself in trouble,
and. above all, does not want to fight
and although he has signed to go on the
expedition he will Withdraw if there is
any illegal act in contemplation.
Officials here are not disposed to at
tach much Importance to the communi-
cation, as they believe a tilibustering eX-
pedition would be conducted with more
caution than appears to be shown in this
case. They are also puzzled to guess
the destination of the party if it should
be Of warlilxe intent. but the chances
are even that it is meant to aid revolu
ton in either Hayti or Mexico.

Buffalo witnesses of the electrical eXccu-
tion at Sing Sing returned Thursday
morning. They were interviewed by a
reporter. Both had witnessed Kemmlers
execution and were therefore prepared
to make careful and valuable compara-
tive observations when witnessing the
recent execution. They deny there was
any burning of flesh, except slight
scald. Both agree that the execution
was success in eve:y way and that
these executions demonstrate that the
method is humane. They also assert
that death was instantaneous on the
first contact and that the second shock
was given to prevent the muscular ex-
hibition that was noticed at Kemmler's
execution.

New YORK, July .. In this weeks is
sue of the Record. DIR. Shrady has an ed
itorial reference to the Sing Sing cXccu-
tions and the following extracts are most
pertinent: 1t is with a feeling of great
relief that one hears that the success has
this time offset the horrors enacted last
year at Auburn and that science which
heretofore has nobly lent its best efforts
to saving and prolonging life, has at last
succeeded in showing its power to kill
effectively, quickly and almost pleasant
ly. There was grim humanity about
the proceeding of repeating the shocks
in quick succession which relieve the
cOnscicnces of those who guaranteed
the criminals against unnecessary suffer
ing. 1t is asserted that no burnt sacri
fees resulted. No official report has yet
been issued regarding the details of the
killing and there is nothing beyond mere
results in death which have at present
any scientific interest. The extra pre-
cautions taken TO present an expression
of independent personal views will nee,
essarily dctract from the value of the
verdict when finally rendered The force
of secrecy of the proceedings will strike
every fair minded person with surprise
and suspicion, which it will be exceed
ingly difficult to offset by any carefully
worded official document.
