CHAMBERLAIN, S. d. July 30.-Among
the tales of the roundup of cattle west Of
the Missouri river is one with flavor of
romance. When the cattlemen had cleaned
up the reservation and crossed the Chey-
enne the camp was visited one evening by
a party from neighboring ranch, one of
whom was charming young girl from
the east, Miss Lettie Barton. She was
delighted by the novelty of the scenes at
camp, and readily accepted an invitation
from Alex Kenyon, one of the men, to
take canter over the bluffs to the river
Suddenly a black steer rushed out from a
clump of bushes. The horse which the
young lady rode took fright, became un-
manageable and bounded away toward
the river. Kenyon tried to overtake the
girl.
Saved from q Frightful Plunge.
AS the two horses rushed up the bluff,
sheer precipice, fringed with treetops, ap-
peared few rods ahead. 1t looked as if
horse and ride were doomed, but Kenyon,
who had anticipated the danger, refined in
his horse, swung his rope lariat about his
head and sent it uncoiling in the air. The
loop fell about the shoulders of the
frightened girl, the cowboys horse reared
back, the rope frightened and the girl was
lifted from the saddle and drawn to the
heavily tufted prairie sod. The young
woman, half conscious, was borne back to
camp by her cavalier, who was prouder of
his exploit than the cowboy who beat the
steer-roping record last year.

POSSIBLY MOONRISE.

The crown was formerly the fountain
of monopoly. The kings grant gave
the favorite the exclusive right to get
rich in a specified field. This was
simply the tyranny of despOtic power
and the argument against it is easily
made and impossible of refu alton.
But the position Of q monopoly which
prevails in our republic by means of a
combination of cash with 'shreWd
practical common sense is not 50 easily
a sailed. 1t says, i am surely free
to buy what | please with my money
in open market, | surely have the
right to combine the money of Il num-
Der of persons in order to buy largely.
Having purchased [ surely have the
right to hold or sell as | choose. Are not
these rights inherent and ~inalienable
in every American citizen? If during
the life of the father of American De
mOcracy he had been asked this queS-
ton he would have answered yes with
out hesitation. But has not the inquiry
a prOfOunder and different significance
in 1891 from what it had say in 1900?
If living and questioned now would he
not scratch his head and ask for time

PETERS VIEWS OF THE SOUTH.

TOPEKA, KANs., July % Special l.
Senator PETER has written a letter to
a Kansas farmer. In speaking Of his
tour through West Virginia, kentucky,
Arkansas and Texas he says:
There has not been one interruption,
not a drunken man present, or any
coarse behavior People have been
uniformly courteous and hOspItable.
This applies to all classes and persons
of all grades Of political belief. Men
who served III the rebel army are par
tiCularly Obliging, and say to me:
Tell the Old Yanks when you go home
that we are friends now, and if they
want any proof Of it to come down
amongst us and see for themselves
1t would be impossible to receive a
stranger more kindly than we Northern
men are received IN the South. The
politicians are the only persons who do
not welcome us cheorfulIy.
In the JOINT debate with Attorney
General Harding, Of Kentucky. at
Frankfort, that gentleman frankly
told me that he looked upon this new
invasion of kentucky as a deliberate
attempt to destroy the Democratic
a~Scendency in that State i'll the inter
est of RepUblicanism. While he was
ready to extend to us, personally, a
Kentucky welcome, as n politician he
would greatly prefer hal we should
stay at home and let the people of
Kentucky look after their W affairs
IN ther own way. He was quite as
hard on us because of our connection
with I1e Republican party as Kansas
Republicans were last year because of
our supposed connection with the
Democratic party. We are bounced

knows just enough about fnanciering to
think that if every time he took dollar
out of the till he put another in the balance
would remain unchanged.
But in the case of silver and the govern
ment the latter might go on buying the
white metal at the present rates, and if 1t
could only buy enough it would be able to
pay of the national debt from the profits.
Let US illustrate: On Monday the govern
ment bought quantity of silver at the
rate OF 30 cents per ounce of 400 grains; by
mixing some inexpensive metal, alloy, with
BIZ grains of this silver and running the
mixture through the mint. the government
produces 81 with which to pay for 400
grains, and has 2S.75 grains of pure
silver left. Thus, the government
has invested 95 cents in money, has
received dollar worth 100 cents and has
$50 grains of silver left. If the reader
Will note the silver purchases as they are
reported from day to day and will make a
very simple computation, he will conclude
that the government can stand good deal
OF the silver law. The more silver the
government buys the more money it makes
as direct profit. II ever ''soft snapn were
created by legislation it is that which the
silver law has provided for the federal
treasury. Any of the banks of this country
would like to take the contract off the
hands of the government, in
which event the silver purchases
would not be limited to four millions a
month, but would comprise all the silver
that was offered while the coinage would
keep pace with the purchases.
Ii any body has right to complain of the
silver law and ask its repeal it is the miner
who Is forced to let government have one
dollars worth of silver for 70 cents

IOWA DEMOCRATIC.

1.-The great Democratic party of Iowa may
well rejoice over the magnificent victory it
has won. Let it learn to use that victory
honorably and fairly, and Iowa henceforth
is Democratic state" This is what Gov
ernor BoIEs SAID in an address at Des
Moines last Wednesday, the day following
the election. 1t would seem almost reck-
less to say that Iowa is Democratic state,
and yet when one takes full account of the
mighty change which has been wrought
there within the past few years he can
agree with Governor BoIEs that it rests
with the Democrats themselves to say
whether or not that Republican stronghold
which only few years ago was giving
Republican maiorities larger than the total
Democratic vote should henceforth be
under the control of the party of the peo-
pie. If the Democrats shall use the
power which they have obtained wisely
and well, if they snail make good the
pledges which they gave as Governor BoIEs
fulnlled his promises of two years ago, it
Is not wild or preposterous alignment to
place Iowa, in the near future, in the Dem
ocratic column
