THEIR NEW QUARTERS

On Monday morning last the new
Offices in the court house were all
ready for occupancy. Prothonotary

weeks ago.

purposes for which It is intended.
Next to the counsel room on the
front is the apartment for ladies. 1t

one of the greatest improvements in
the building. In the old court house
there were no accommodations for
women, and female witnesses called

wait in room Immediately adjoining
the mems toilet room.
The Grand Jury room is the largest
and lightest on the second floor. 1t
has linoleum on the floor, and a large
library table and chairs. Wash bowls

py as kings, They are an unusually
fine looking body of men this week

Chamber, and the County Superin-
tendent's Office, not yet furn; shed.
The former will be used for argument
courts, and special sessions Of court
when the business gets in such shape
that two courts are needed.
The commissioners Office is on the
first floor to the right as you enter.
1t is handsomely and appropriately
furnished. Commissioners Edgar, Sands
and Rittenhouse and Clerk c. M. Ter.
williger look happy and contented in
their new quarters. The Commission.
ers may we'll be proud of their work
for they have shown good judgment ir
the completion and furnishing of the
building.

tiers, and Register and Recorder Camp
bell also remains in the old place

sioncrs Office all to himself.

S. c. Greasy has remodeled the old
planning mill property to such an ex.
tent that it cannot be recognized, ex-
cept as to location. The building has
all been freshly painted, additions and
improvements made to it, as well as a
new boiler house, in which is placed a
new boiler, and a dry-house to be
heated by steam. New woodworking
machinery will be purchased, and the
Old SO completely repaired that it will
~ be as new. When completed,
Nhich will be but short time, it will
oe one of the best mills in this section,
&. Greasy with his usual enterprising
Pirit will no doubt soon have large
rce of workmen at work filling
lers. A good planning mill is real
eessity in this place.

Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1892-07-22

W Today the people are awakening
to the fact that they are being robbed un-
der the form of law. Their land has been
stolen and they must pay rent for the pri
vilege of living on the earth. Their mon
ey has been cornered and they must pay
tribute in the form of interest on all
their commercial transactions. The high
ways of the country are owned by the
Goulds and Vanderbilts, and millions
which they can never use. millions more
than the service rendered is worth, must
be paid by the American people as extra
toll on the exchange of their products.
These wrongs are producing the inevitable
results. A million prostitutes, women
who find that the service that society
most willingly and generously feeds them
to, is the degradation of their bodies; a
million tramps, men who are being forced
by the hard conditions of life nearer and
nearer to the plane of the pauper and the
criminal; an army of Pinkertons, an in
creasing percentage of the population in
asylums and prisons, these are the signs
that the men Of today must do full and

nY@ 1t is not a strike at Homestead.
1t is a lock out. The men are not strikers.
They are willing to continue work at the
old wages; but because they would not
consent TO reduction in wages of thirty
to fifty per cent the works are shut
down. But that is only an excuse. 1t is
done in order to evict these union men
and put non-union men in their places
that Carnegie calls for troops. Emperor
William told his troops at his command
they must be ready to shoot down their
fathers and brothers, and cry of horror
and laundering "No?' rang out around
the world. Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylva-
MIA, if you use the militia to evict organ
lied labor at the bequest of organized cap
ital, the curse of civilized labor will fall
upon your head. Six millions of organ

complete Justice to each other or suffer
natures old remedial penalty OF terror,
blood, and revolution. -Deadwood Ind.

E- Many of our gallant comrades
seem to think the war Of the rebellion is
not over, still no one will question Gen.
Grants loyalty to his country, and he
fully recognized that with Lees surrend-
er the war was over. He was the first to
honor two confederate generals with ap-
pointments, and we do not believe any
old soldier thought Gen. Grant did
wrong. Does it ever occur to our north
ern comrades, what they would have
done if they had been living in the south
when the war began. 1t is safe to per-
sumo, outside of drafted men and sub
stitutes, that nearly every one of them
would have been fighting for the south.
Had the southern men by chance of
birth and education, belonged in the
north. they would have been battling un-
der the old flag just as our northern boys
did. This is the true American spirit of
the people. When the prospect for war
between the United States and Chile.
seemed possible, the ex-southern soldiers
showed willingness to defend the flag
that was not excelled by their northern
brothers. 1t is foreign to the American
spirit of our people TO forever harbor
hatred towards an honorable, worthy
foe. No true Union soldier or southern
soldier, unless IN isolated cases, can
justly harbor bitterness towards each
other. Fathers fought against so!.s,
brothers against brothers, kindred
against kindred, and those who felt the
rebel front the oftenest will tell you that
the rebs were worthy foemen, and made
a stout resistance considering our great
advantages after the first year of the
war The bloody shirt IS wore out; it
has made solid north and a solid south
too long, while the schemlng politicians
were plunde ring the nation and building
up thousands of Carnegies, destroying G
silver, legislating for Wall Street, build
ing up gigantic monopolies, and all this
time the old southern leaders were hold
| ing their people solid with cry OIL
negro supremacy, and up north we were
| equally as blind, shouting ourselves
hoarse over the bloody shirt and threaten
ed domination of southern brigadiers
and all this time the political plundere:
were rolling in wine and feasts, given by
such alien robbers as old Carnegie, fol
protection to rob American industry
that they could better rob and hire I
Pinkerton army of paid butchers. Their
came the tariff. This shut the eyes o
the people for while, but at last tht
day light Of wisdom dawns; the people
begin to realize their danger. They
throw aside the blankets under which
they slept so long, and pick up thei1
mighty power as it was gradually slip
ping from their hands. There is nc
| longer a solid south or a bloody shirt r
the north. The war and all other deac
issues are buried. The great honest
masses of the nation are organizing for q
conflict against all Carnegies and Wal
street oppression. The people want
Equal rights to all and special privi
| legeges to none.' A man who cannot
support such platform is blind to his
| own interests
