The independent party Is making the
money question" the issue in their
campaign, and from Weaver, nominee
for president, down to the third party
candidates for county Office, the howl is
made for better money" "sounder cur
rency," and no calamity talk is complete
without an attack on the national banking
system. 1t was not quite twenty years
ago that this same Jas. b. Weaver was
on the stump vigorously defending the
currency given the people by the repnb
lican party. and lauding to the skies the
national banks Of the country. In 1873
he made speech from which We ex-
tract the following: ~.
Do you want to 60 back to the stump
TAIL" "red dog" shin plaster cur
rency Of democratic days? If you do.
heed this senseless democratic cry ofop-
position to the present system of cur
rency. ] chanllenge the world to show
q system superior to it. The national
banks are assailed. say 1t Is the best
money ever issued in any country. II
affords safety to banking system, gives
note holders absolute protection, and he
who assails 1t assails the earning Of
every laboring man in the land But
what better could you expect from the
poor. old, blind, diseased, decrept, dis
NAL, damned old democratic party.
1t may be argued by his followers that
he has since been convinced Of the error
of his ways and has experienced =
change Of heart. He undoubtedly has,
but there are many people unkind en-.
ough to believe that potent factor in
bringing about the change, was his re-
lection for better, brainier man by an
Iowa state convention, when he was
before 1t as candidate for governor
some years ago.

Ores for the Worlds Fair.

Having received the appointment as
deputy collector of material for exhibit
ton at the worlds fair at Chicago, de-
sire at this time to notify all the owners
of mines who desire to have their prop
critics represented at the grand exhibit,
that would be pleased to have them
select some good large sample pieces Of
ore of, say about 100 pounds each, to-
gether with samples of the country, or
wall rock, from each side of the vein,
and hold them in readiness 80 that /
may get them when call.
In addition to these larger samples it
is desirable to have sack of ore from
each mine, for more familiar inspection
and to give away in a direction where il
may be a benefit to the owners Of the
mines and to the state at large.
1t is my wish also that all parties
owning quarriss of stone ofgood quality
for building or ornamental purposes
would get out some good samples and
rotify me where they may be found.
We want the name Of the mine, the
owners name, the name of the district
and any further information the owners
may be pleased to give. shall collect
from all parts of the Black Hills and
desire that every district may be repre-
sented at the fair.
We are late in tho field; this work
should have been commenced a year
ago the time is short and for this rea-
son it is hoped that all the miners will
take an interest in this matter so that
the business may be forwarded with all
possible dispatch.
shall commence at the south end OF
the Hills and work north. 1t has been
considered best TO do this so as to give
those in the northern Hills--the largest
representation-more time to prepare
their samples for exhibition. Let us
work together with will and see if We
can't make a showing which will be
worthy Of the richest portion Of South
Dakota.

Disastrous Fires.

Huron, S. D., Oct. 9-While men were
burning FIRE break around tree claim
eight miles northwest of here this after
noon, the fire got beyond their control
and swept over vast stretch of coun-
try. The wind was blowing 40 miles an
hour and drove the fire so rapidly that
all attempts to check 1t proved useless.
The town of Broadland narrowly
escaped destruction and the people at
Hitchcock, Is miles northwest Of here,
saved their town by back firing. All
the people in the vicinity have been
fighting fi,e and posse Of men went
from here to aid them. The fire was not
under control at to night but burning
in smaller strips. The section burned
over is from 7 to 10 miles wide by 20
miles long. The loss to settlers will be
very heavy, as in the burned district are
scores Of prosperous farmers. The same
section was devastated by fire last year.

NOMINATED BY PETITION

Quite a sensation was created in this
senatorial district within the past week.
by a rumor to the effect that the new
law provided, that certificates of nomi-
nation fer senator from districts made
up of more than one county, had to be
filed with the secretary of state, thirty
days prior to the date set for election.
The law referred to reads as 70 lows:
Section 4, chapter 81, Session Laws of
1891. Certificates of nomination of
candidates to be filed by the election of
the entire state or any division or dis.
trict greater than county, shall be filed
with the secretary of state" and section
8 of the same chapter, reads "Certifi-
Gates Of nomination to be filed with the
secretary Of state shall be filed not less
than thirty days before the day fixed
by law for the election of the persons i'm
nomination"
The dates set for the democratic and
republican convention were Oct. 10th
and 18th, respectively, and as neither of
them were thirty days before November
Sth, number of persons in each party
were convinced that the nominees Of
those conventions would not be proper
ly before the people, and consequently
neither of them could be elected. C.J,
Patton, Of Hermosa, was one of this
number. He ran onto the above sec.
tion Of the law week ago Thursday,
and believing that nomination could
not be legally made at the Hot Springs
convention, he took advantage of the
clause of the lection law which provides
for the making Of nominations by petit
tion. A petition bearing Mr.. Patton's
name as nominee, was drawn up by
some of his friends, signed by twenty
two voters of the district, and was for
warded to the secretary of state. As
soon as these proceedings were made
public, no little Consideration was Great
ed among the regular candidates for
senator and their friends, but a careful
reading Of the law revealed another
clause which allayed their fears. II
reads as follows
"The certificates for the nomination
of joint member Of either branch of
the legislature shall be fled in the office
of the county auditor of all counties to
be represented by such joint member"
And further on the law says that such
filing shall be made not less than
twenty, nor more than sixty days be-
fore election. Some of the best lawyers
in the circuit have been asked to inter-
pret the law, and all of them seemed
positive that the section first quoted ap.
plies to state officers only, and will not
affect the nominees of the republican
and democratic conventions.
Mr.. Patton undoubtedly acted In good
faith, believing when he took the ac-
tion he did, that II was the only way to
get republican in the field. We un-
derstand that he has asked the opinion
of Attorney General Dollard, and II that
gentleman believes that Mr.. Ps position
is not we'll taken, he will withdraw and
stand by the action Of the republican
senatorial convention, which meets to
night. That certainly would be the
only honorable course to pursue, and
we are confident that Mr.. Patton looks
at 1t In that light.

PROTECTION OF WOOL GROWERS.
A prominent trade journal published
in Bradford. England. has this comment
upon the effect of the Mckinley bin
upon British trade: "We need not here
repeat the whole details of the extent to
which the Bradford exports to America
have diminished in consequence of the
Mckinley tariff But the loss of 1000.
600 to 100000 of trade with America
supposing always that America could
have kept up her consumption at the
point where il stood-is by no means
the measure of the evil inflicted upon
us by the Mckinley tariff. II hurt our
customers as well as ourselves, and so
We have suffered twice. But what, per-
haps, is more serious result than the
direct loss of trade is the effect which 1t
has had upon prices and profits. Low
prices are safer to trade on, perhaps,
but, as we have heard it bluntly put |:
Bradford men don't like low prices.
When prices are high there's something
to hide profit UNDER Other causes
besides the Mckinley tariff have helped
to make wool cheap, but to some extent
in wool, and to greater extent In yarns
and pieces, its effect on prices has been
very serious"

STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, PIERRE, July 2S, '92. !
Whereas, At the instance of the Exc
cutive Committee Of the National Public
School celebration of Columbus Day,
Congress has enacted law instructing
the President of the United States to
issue proclamation making Columbus
Day general holiday; and
Whereas, 1t is especially desirable
that the children of the land should OBJ
serve the anniversary marking the date
Of the discovery by Columbus and
Whereas, The Worlds Congress Au-
Hillary OF the Worlds Exposition has
made patriotic suggestion that at the
same time that the exposition grounds
at Chicago are being dedicated, on Oc-
tober Il, 1892, the anniversary Of the
discovery Of America, all the people of
the United States unite in celebration
of the anniversary, of which celebration
the public schools Of the Republic be
everywhere the center, as evidenced by
the following resolution, passed by that
body, viz:
Resolved, That the Department of
Superintendent Of the National Educa-
tional Association heartily endorse this
suggestion, as serving the purposes both
of interesting the youth of the Republic
in the Exposition, and also in giving to
the public schools OF the nation fitting
prominence as the fruit Of four centuries
| of American life"
Now, therefore, /, Arthur G. Mellette,
Governor of the State of South Dakota,
in accordance with the foregoing resolu-
tion which was adopted. and the act of
Congress mentioned. do hereby desig
nate and appoint Columbus Day, viz
October q. 1892, as public holiday,
AID recommend that il be observed at
the different school houses over the
State Of South Dakota that business be
suspended on that day; that civil and
military organizations take part in the
celebration, and that the day be devoted
to lessons calculated to inspire the chill
dren Of the land With a true apprecia-
ton of the destiny of Columbia.
This work is especially committed to
the Hon. Cortex Salmon, Superintendent
OF Public Instruction, and TO the South
Dakota Board of Women Commissioners
for the Worlds Fair Columbian Exposi-
| ton.
In testimony whereof. / have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal of
the State Of South Dakota TO he affixed
at Pierre, the capital, this twenty eighth
day Of July, A. n. 1892.

THE RURALIsT DEFIEs FUSION

The Dakota Ruralist, the most aggres-
sive of the independent organs of the
state, in recent issue gives clear de-
finition of fusion, and advises all mem.
bers of the party to shun it. The Rural
list says: ITO fuse is to compromise.
To compromise is to surrender portion
Of principle. Keep in the middle ofthe
road is sound doctrine. If you do this
you know what your strength is in your
county ard will have no entangling al
lance for succeeding years. Fusion
means confusion. Our friends viii find
it so at some future time in their own
county history"

DRIVING PARK ASSOCIATION.
Organization Effected, and
the Prospects are that the Pro-
ject Will be q Go.


Pursuant TO the call made two weeks
ago, the parties interested in forming a
Driving Park Association, met at the
court house last Saturday afternoon.
The object of the meeting was clearly
stated, and after discussing the matter
quite thoroughly, temporary organiza-
ton was determined upon, and w. c.
Ward was elected temporary chairman,
A. III. Smith for temporary secretary.
/. was the wish that the secretary's
minutes be published, and they are as
follows:
CUSTER Cry, Oct 9th, 1892.
At a meeting OF a portion of the citi-
zens Of Custer and vicinity, held for the
purpose of organizing a Driving Park
Association. w. &. Ward was elected
temporary chairman, and A. II. Smith
temporary secretary.
Motion made and seconded, that a
committee Of three be appointed by the
chair, TO determine upon what terms
grounds in suitable location for track
purposes can be obtained and TO report
at an early date. The following named
parties were appointed as such commit
tee: w. t. Ellison, NJ. A. Willis, and
II. +. Lake.
Moved and seconded to have proceed
'ngs Of meeting published. Carried
4 here being no further business be.
fore the meeting, adjourned subject to
call of the chair.
A. II. SMITH, Sec. pro tern.
From the above il will be seen that a
committee was appointed to negotiate
for the grounds upon which to construct
the track. This will be done without
delay, and as soon as a report is ready
the chair will call another meeting. The
committee has two or three locations in
view, and it is believed that one of them
can be secured on satisfactory terms.
II that body is not disappointed, perma-
nent organization will at once be effect
ed, and the construction of the track
and erection Of the buildings will be
proceeded with at once.
Those most interested in the project
seem much encouraged by the general
interest manifested in it, and mean IN
push right ahead. Saturday was busy
day with the business men Of the town,
and the meeting was not 80 well attend
ed as it otherwise would have been, but
the number was sufficient for a start,
and the start was made.

gentlemen who have thus far signified
