ARrEs1AN WELL OUTFITS.

Our Riverside correspondent last week
suggested the purchase Of artesian well
outfits by the comfy, and the work of
putting down wells begun. Inumany re-
spects the suggestion seems feasible and
practicable. Some counties have already
commenced operations with their own
machinery, among them Brule county,
where we believe there are Ave outfits
now working. As the correspondent sug-
gests cheap labor could be had right here
at home. and wages paid ont would be Of
great benefit Ip opposition to this the
only thing We see Is the question Of what
kind of labor is required. Can unskilled
labor do the work properly? Does II not
require experience and knowledge of that
special business to secure good results in
sinking artesian wells ? II SO the labor
could not be obtained cheaply-at least
all Of it.
The only knowledge we have OF the
business was obtained by observation at
the Miller we'll, where at least portion Of
the laborers appeared to be skilled in
their business. Here both day and night
shifts we're worked, requiring an engineer
and foreman with each. We understand
the expert in charge Of the work was paid
s5. 90 day. However the best UNDER
standing of this question. and determine
ton OF the practicability Of Hand county
purchasing well outfits, can be had from
the experience OF Brule and other coun-
ties in the next month or two. or so soon
as the result Of tho work now in progress
becomes known.

THANKS.

Tho PRESS occupied considerable space
last week to prove YanHosen could not be
believed. That we fully succeeded there is
no manner Of doubt. But we must confess
surprise to see this acknowledged by
VanHosen himself. Last weeks Repuu-
lican contained two articles on the sena-
toriai result. The first was headed "who
defeated the republican party" and says
the PRESS and journal, are responsible
for NJ ody's defeat The exact language is.
"Tne republicans Throughout the state
know the situation In Hand county fully
as well as we do ourselves. They know
the Press and Journal'are responsible for
republican defeat at Pierre"
Then right below this assertion, EVEN
IN THE SAME COLUMN, our friend com.
pletely exonerates us. In another article
headed "why the republicans we're oe-
feated," appears this identical language
"The republicans have no one to blame
for their defeat but themselves. In the
first place when the House was organized,
Converse would have voted for Winslow,
but Miunehaha county, as usual, wanted
the earth and was bound to have Buchan.
uus tutu WnCll htlNlio was Iu Tie utlU,
il the republicans had stood by him as
they should have done, with what inde-
pendent votes he had, il would have only
required three more to elect him, aud he
mad four pledged when it was necessary
for their votes to elect him"
Now We believe, even in our political
stupidity" that We know good thing
when we see 1t, and the above "amende
honorable" is all that any man could ask
Will Bro. VanHossn accept our sincere
thanks for his open confession We had

ment and vindication Of the PRESS. Jour-
nal and whole sheep crowd, kind o. knocks

Watertown News:--The above senti
ments are food for reflective thought to
certain of our politicians. Geo. Mat
theys carried the caucuses in Brookings
county previous to the republican con-
yention. John Diamond, PettIgrew's
boot licker' in Brookings county con-
tested with bogus delegation" at the
repus hcan convention at Mitchell Pet
tigrew from the concealment Of his room
pulled the strings in Diamonds favor, and
the wiU OF the republicans of Bookings
county was defeated. The people con-
demned this action at the polls in No
vember. 'Henchrnan" Diamond made
desperate efforts to carry the county for
his own Legislative ticket. But his politi-
chi "skulldoggery" and trickery was no
him, and the republican party was too
heavily handicapped to win; and down it
went in Brookings county. When politi-
cal bosses attempt to rule the republican
party and thwart the will of the rank and
file of Its voters, it ends III temporary
disaster to the party, and permanent re-
tirement for the ''b3sses."
Washington Times: The "masheen" is
responsible for the defeat of senator
Moody, and the dog-in the-manger tac-
tics of Moody's rule or ruin" friends, is
responsible for the defeat OF Melville.
