cveiand's election come in, than he
declared himself a democrat.
All that should be necessary to secure
his prompt removal as an Office, holder
under false pretences is to transmit a
copy of his own letter to the president.
1t would grace the closing days Of
President Harrison's administration to
remove Sanderson, and appoint as his
successor the widow of the faithful and
lamented Paltoiter.-Rapid Republican.
Good enough. The STAR heartily
coinc des with the above. Sanderson
stated to US last fall before election,
Just about the time he was appointed
postmaster, that he was now republi-
can-because their principles were
right. We doubted his good intentions
at the time. Scarcely had the late
postmaster, Mr.. Painter, become cold
in death before Sanderson-was urging
his appointment to fill the vacancy,
when by all that was right and Just
the widow of Mr.. Painter should have
been appointed. Sanderson's head
should go without delay, and there
is plenty Of time yet for the republi.
cans TO right this grievious wrong, and
do little pruning about Fairburu.
The Office from business or financial
standpoint is Insignificant, but Is a

The state railroad commissioners

one and half miles, all of which was
l,uilt in the Black Hills. Not mile

Last week the STAR had something
to say concerning cheap railroad rates
to the worlds fair. The various
passenger associations Of the country
have held meetings at different times
to consider the reduced rate question.

OF the general passenger agents object
to very great reduction of rates. But

the Black Hills had the following
representation: Lawrence county,

During the period ct n;netesn months

There appears to be three candidates
in the Hills for the appointment of
railroad commissioner. There is John
Bremen, of Rapid City. John Baker,
of Deadwood, and Joe Pitcher, of
Custer. That the Hills shonld have
representation upon this board seems
to be reasonable conclusion. With
its nearly 500 miles of railroad to look
after, saying nothing of its claims from
a political standpoint, the Hills
certainly has a right to claim represen.
tation upon the board of railroad COM
miss,oners. Each of the candidates
above mentioned are competent honor.
able men. and would without ans
doubt fill the position Of commissions,
with complete satisfaction to th,
people. Here's hoping one of then
may get there.

DEATH IN WATER.

Few people have any idea how impure even
the pure-t drinking water is. The very best
water known is fun OF germs. They are the
most prolific crertures Of which we have any
knowledge. for single one may be the causa-
tive parent of more than sixteen million nye
hundred Thousand descendants in day. They
are also possessed Of grea, vitality for they can
be carried great distances in water without los
ing their power of producing disease They
can be frozen OF even boiled without being de
strOyed- They NAV be kept dried for years
and vet when placed in a suitable medium VIII
come % life and produce fermentation and de-
cav. They are the great producers OF malaria,
fever. grip and most seriOus'diseases.
''But." YOU saw. what can be done to avoid
them since they cannot be killed by boiling!
There il but one thing which Will effectively
DESTROY them. and that IL coming IN contact
with spirits small amount of pure spirits
In the water will effectually kill them and de-
stroy their evil effects. but ii should be borne
in mind that nothing but the purest and best
spirits should be used for this purpose. and
that nothing Is equal to whisky. Not the or
diuary WHISTLES which are upon the market, but
something far above them something which Is
highly indOrsed by the scientific world Such
q whisky IL Duffv's Pure Malt, which Is today
more popular than ever before in its history.
and which Is doing wonders to destroy the
germs Of every disease. There are hundreds of
families that Use il constantly in connection
with their drinking water. both at the table and
between meals. Beware of any druggist or
grocer who seeks To offer you something he
saws Il Just a. good. Duffys Is the only pure
medicinal whisky upon the market

Store Clerks and Early Closing.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
wall of complaint goes up from clerks in
stores, and especially from those in George
town, because many of the proprietors who
have signed agreements to close at p. m. have
become lax and Indifferent to the needs of their
toilers for rest and recreation. and have by de-
grees heightened out their daily service until
long after the hour agreed upon.
The friends of the clerks and Of fair play car
show their disapprobation of the course of the
offending storekeepers by circumstances and
protests, and by withdrawal of patronage from
those who persist in disregarding their COM
pacts and by dealing only with those who close
promptly at the set hour and thus observe Their
agreements and manifest fair consideration fol
the rights and needs of the clerks who labor
through long and weary hours for their benefit

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
/ fully agree with your view regarding assess
ments as expressed in a recent ISSUE We have
not yet formulated the ideal plan that is to do
substantial justice to all and yet be in harmony
with the American principle. Probably no plan
that can be devised will suit everybody, but a
plan can be arranged that will eliminate the
irregularities Of the present system and vet not
be so radical as to involve u revolution. We
need not be governed by the practice Of other
cities, but let Us exercise that genius SO mani
fest in the American character to originate
methods by which difficulties may be overcome
and apparently insurmountable obstacles be
removed Let the genius of the country be set
to work and 1 ii warrant you that plan will be
found that will satisfy every reasonable expecta-
ton and confirm the opinion that the American
mind is equal to any emergency.
i would suggest that in lien Of the amend
ment offered by the congressional committee
lately investigating the subject that q tax CON-
mission, to consist of three members, be created
TO assume charge Of the whole matter and that
said commission be empowered to offer two
graded prizes for the best and most equable
method OF municipal taxation" one on the
principle Of assessment based on rental value
and the other LAND alone, with tables Illus
trative Of the several plans and such other dats
as NAV in the Judgment of the commission bs
found necessary. and said commissioners shall
consider the whole subject and make such rec
concentrations they may deem wise and ben
efeial. In the meantime let the assessment
now in progress be continued to completion
and be used A. . basis in formulating the table,
that shall accompany each plan ~ called for b.

A Mysterious Fire. 90

About 5:45 O'Clock this morning an explosion
took place at the mattress factory of Allen Nc
Lane building owned by Mrs. Bradley, corner
of 18th and streets, blowing out the front of
the building, and in few moments the flames
were burning fercely. Andrew Kingman, who
sleeps on the premises, was awakened by the re-
port and. in forcing his way out, was badly
burned about the face and hands. The flames
were extinguished with q loss Of $500, and the
police and firemen made an investigation as to
the canse, but without success. 1t is stated that
the only explosive material about the premises
was q two-gallon can of gasoline, and this was
found after the fire on the outside intact.
