mentioned IN democratic circles, with

standard bearer. In the Third ward

Boyd boys or JIM Brennan. The
Fourth ward must elect two aldermen.

weakened the second ward for the
democrats by withdrawing therefrom

We are sIagnanlmous.

The usefulness OF the republican party
in Pennington county will soon only be
a matter OF history, unless methods be
adopted that will cause it to live in
memory DEAR at least. Strange as it
may appear, it is 50, that what was
started as the republican organ, has
nearly always been edited by a demo-
craft and when this is considered in CON
nection with the trulsm that demo.
crat never changes unless to become an
independent, the unfortunate plight of
the grand old remnant, presents itself
very iorcibly. With the republican
party here, it has been tout of the fry
ing pan into the fire." The old proven
bal saying, that the brains OF the news
paper world is largely contributed from
the democratic ranks may be true IN
other localities, but not in Rapid City,
yet with inexpilcable persistcnccy the re-
publicans crave after democratic edit
or. to their great disadvantage.
The Daily Republican welcomes the
UNION into the magnificent field; it smiles
complacently at the comparatively easy
matter it will be to compete against an
Independent daily and fairly aches to be
afforded another opportunity to insist
On its good intentions politically. The
Journal, bless it's little heart, attempts
to cater to every one by refralnlng from
expressing an opinion on any subject.
Its policy is none communicative, non
committa1, non-political, non-sectarian,
non-anything. 1t toauss to political
leaders, with obsequious obeslance it
panders to our city fathers and with
what result? The UNION starts in differ
entity. 1t will be impartial in all mat
ters ol municipal Importance. 1t will be
"Rapid Citys faithful watch dog
But it has another mission. The dem
ocratic party, that party OF pride, could
never repose confidence in a paper with
the vascillating policy OF the Journal.
1t might trust the Republican, ii differ
ently managed But it can and will con-
fde in the UNION, because itknows where
to find it. 1t is with rlnfeigned pleasure
the UNION lays this flattering unction to
its soul and invites the democrats to
make use OF It's columns. Realizing the
anomalous management OF what ought
to be the organ OF the republicans, the
| UNION steps forward frankly lofts it's hat
| to its old time enemy and makes a
similar offer to the republican party O
| Pennington county. Yes democrats anC
republicans you are perfectly welcome
to the use OF theUNioNs columns. in
discussing your political views.

onducted by Evangelist Snlcad, OF Ch;
cago. for the past two weeks, have
awakened a deep interest in the com
munity. The services have been largely
attended and besides the revival intu-

about one hundred souls have expressed
a desire to lead a christian life Mr.
Smead closed his work with last even

Death of the LOTTERY.

The struggle going on i'll Louisiana
| over the lottery question has interested
the whole county and the effort OF con-
gress to blot out the evil by forbidding
the giant corporation the use OF the
mails, has been eagerly watched. In
treating the question in the February
number OF the Cosmopolitan, Edward
Everett Hall says, speaking OF the rights
OF the general government to interfere in
this matter: ''Itill becomes the state
OF Louisiana, OF all the states OF the
union, to take exception to q national
policy in this regard. Whenever there
comes Il severe flood OF the Mississippi
river, we are told from Louisiana that
it is the business Of the nation to keep
up their levees, when a few years ago
this very levee system had created bar
at the mouth OF the Mississippi riyer SO
that the city OF New Orleans was losing
Its trade, we were told fIom Louisiana
that it was the business OF the nation
to open the mouth of that river, and at
enormous expense the nation discharged
that duty. 1t i'll becomes the state OF
Louisiana, then, in her dealings with a
nation which has sustained her with
such lavish prodigalty to run round
and say that she is entitled to the priv
ilege OF poisoning every village IN that
country, and destroying the arrange
ments OF local law which the wisdom oi
people OF different parts OF that nation
has devised" The law enacted by con-
gress which prevents the passage OF lot
terry matter through the mails or the
mailing OF papers containing lottery
notices, has been tested The case of a
paper rejected from the mail on this ac-
count has been carried before the SUI
preme court whose decision is in favor
OF the power Of congress to regulate this
matter, and since that decision and the
publication OF the above quoted article,
| il is announced that the lottery com
pany have given up the Sight and vii
