will thoroughly digest this phase of
the money question before going any

chance for the passage of free silver
was sufficient to cause capitalists not

the remotest possibility that they

The record made by the democratic
ma ority in the present congress will
need Il good deal of explaining to the
voters next fall. So far as the demo-
Gratis are concerned the coming cam
paign must be Il defensive one. Upon
the cry of tariff reform and free silver,
the democrats, in the election of 1880,
succeeded in carrying several western
states that had hitherto been safely re-
publican. With an overwhelming ma
jority in tile lower house, the demo-
cratic party has failed utterly to carry
out any of the promised reforms. In
stead of setting about to reform alleged
abuses, the democrats began the SEES
sion by indulging in a disgraceful
scramble among themselves for Official
spoils. Honest. sincere, though mis-
taken men, like Mills, were forced TO
give way before the unholy alliance of
Crisp. Hill and Springer. Political
jugslers were pushed to the front and
promises but lately made were entirely
forgotten. The record has been main
tanned eve since. Nothing has been
accomplished except the delivery of
several grandiloquent effuslons upon
the noble purposes of democracy. All
of this, however, does not exactly cor
respond with the record of broken
pledges and will hardly be appreciated
by a people that has supported such a
body in idleness for the past six
months.
The people of the west must before
long see how futile it is 10 place any
confidence in the professions of the
democrats. Honest men there are in
the party to be sure, but these have
been relegated to the rear. Western
farmers who favor free coinage and a
reduction of the tariff upon manufac-
tured goods. will hardly trust a party
that has made such a surprising rec
ord for insincerity.

The prospects for a prosperous year
in mining circles in the southern Hills
has never been so bright as now. The
country between Hermosa and Hill
City is developing INTO IL of the rich
est portions of the Hills, and as work
apon such new mines as the keystone,
Spokane, and the Hayward groups
progresses, their extent and richness
becomes more apparent. That locality
promises yet to surpass any other por-
ton Of the Hills in richness. The b.
& M. railroad has a corps of surveyors
running a line to these mines from
Hill City, and before snow flies they
will doubtless have the road completed,
in which event it need surprise no one
il there should be a rush to that %locali-
ty that will fully equal, if not SUR
pass, the recent big hoom of Creole,
Colorado. The southern Hills, how
ever, has something substantial upon
which a boom might be anticipated.

A tariff reform policy that places

Now that the national convention is
over republicans will begin to attend
to matters, political, a little nearer
home. In the state, matters are al
ready assuming an interesting phase,
and we doubt not il within a few
weeks politics will begin to simmer.
So far as county politics go we do not
hear much talk. Still, ION the SIDE
we have heard limitations that Judge
kanable would be il most lively aspir-
ant for sheriff Gltford's snap; that
Judge Gull would doubtless succeed
himself; that Chambers Kellar might
possibly be induced to accept the nomi-
nation for states attorney; that states
attorney Wilson was IL probable dark
horse for state senator; that some
%ranchman, whose name we cannot
now recall, would likely be nominated
for register of deeds; a Cascade man
would secure the authorship; Mr..
Brooke, of Oelrichs, would without
doubt succeed himself as county super
intendent: that treasurer Bradley
couldn't get out of being re-nominated
and reelected if he wanted to; that
some person over at Edgemont had a
mortal cinch on the legislative nomi-
nation; and SD forth and SO on. Be
sides all these we believe we have
heard other names mentioned for some
of the same positions, but we have
forgotten them. However there is
plenty of time between tins and cleo
tlon in which to ascertain who they
are, and the STAR is willing to 60 on
record as stating that no candidate will
permit his name to he overlooked in
the category of hopeful aspirants who
are in the hands of their friends.

The raid upon the house of prosti-
tuition kept 10y Grace Frawley in the
northern part of the city, is a move
that has Been expected for some time:
it should haye been done several
months ago. 1t has been the wonder
and establishment of strangers that a
place of that character should be per-
mitted to be conducted in such IL con-
s@picuous portion of the ci,y--if per-
mitted at all within the locality. The
holiness of the inmates of that place,
in the manne in which they paradea
the streets, and forced themselves with
in the presence of respectable people
has become such a nuisance that
decent people have felt inclined to re.
main at home. 1t is high time that
a check was placed upon the damsels
that are leading their life of shame.
and that they he given to understand
that they must seek more secluded
quarters, if not altogether banished
from the neighborhood. The women
of easy virtue have at least probably
learned by the fines imposed upon
them that their brazen conntenances
are desirable to the gaze of Hot
Springs people, and the more seclud-
ed they keep themselver the better off
they viii! be-and the better fer the
community.

operation. Let any nation, no matter
how good its credit may be, embark in
visionary reforms that have 50 often
proved disastrous, and Immediately
capital will lie boarded up in hanl,
vaults instead of seeking investment.
Capitalists are not so foolish as to pay
out good money when there is the
smallest chance that they will be paid
back in bad money, and there is no
power that can compel them to do so.
In the end there is no doubt but that
capitalists suffer by these changes, but
men who must depend. for bread, upon
their daily wages suffer immensely
more. The latter, above all others,
haye a vital interest in maintaining a
a sound and stable financial policy. 1t
may be a good thing to increase the
amount of the circulating medium or
it may not be, but until something less
dangerous to the prosperity of the
country than free silver is devised, let
us not abandon our present system for
something that can only end in tinan-
eial ruin. If we must have silver
money in unlimited quantities, it is
only just that every silver dollar
should. as bullion, be worth as much
as a gold dollar.

Making slight detour to the right, the
regiment struck the Confederate horse in
the flank, crushing all his squadrons; then
swept on up the hill into and over the bat
terry, shooting and slashing right end left.
In the melee the ranks were broken and
the leader waited a few minutes to rally
the survivors, the enemy meantime rush
ing in to close the gap against their return.
The column reformed and rode straight
for the battery again, then with a sudden
swerve the flank avoided it and galloped
back to the brigade. Only l killed,
wounded and IS captured were the cas-
uaities, but Fitzpatrick told the boys on
the spot that it was lone of the best charges
ever made" and that it saved the division
from defeat Fitzpatrick got star for the
exploit, and thanked the First Maine for
winning it,
Eight days later Fitzpatrick, at the head
of new division, met Stuart in front of
Aide Gap, in the Blue Ridge, and was get
ting the worst of it when Gregg's column,
with the First Maine leading FASTENED to
his aid. The Confederates had the advan-
sage, with a shelter of haystacks, a stone
wall and ditch, and several of Kilpat-
rick's regiments had been broken up and
driven back to their cannon. Fitzpatrick

caught sight or the First Maine GaHop-
ing up to it's colonel he shouted, "Men OF
Maine, you saved the day at Brandy Sta
ton; save it again at Aldiep'
There were two battalions present and
squadrons were hastily formed for the
charge. Fitzpatrick rode side by side with
Col. Douty. and giving three rousing cheers
with waving sabres the cavalcade swept
down an incline toward the victorious
enemy The field was cleared at the first
dash and onward the Maine boys rode in
excited pursuit until they struck a dis
mounted line behind q stone wall. AT this
point the Maine ranks suffered severely
for moment, but the impetus of the charge
bore them through the Confederate line,
which was routed and driven from the field.
Col Douty fell at the stone wall, pierced
with two bullets. This affair cost killed
and II wounded. Two days later, at Mid
dleburg, the regiment charged position
screened by woods and a stone wall, and
carried it, losing 3 officers and men
killed and 81 wounded.
In the Gettysburg battle the First Maine
missed the heavy fighting Of Gregg's divi-
sion, the brigade changing places with Gus
ter in the great combat of July 8. On the
return march, however, at Shepherdstown
on the Potomac, July 16, it lost 9 killed
and II wounded in an affair with the Con-
federate rear guard.
The campaign of 1868 in the Army of the
Potomac was one of warfare in the saddle
for the cavalry. The mounted infantry
phase came late in the following year,
but before the romance period faded the
First Maine had one more chance to win
unique distinction for daring work. A detail
of 300 was chosen by Fitzpatrick to ride on
the famous raid to Richmond in February,
1864. Later, when Fitzpatrick and the rash
Dahlgren divided forces, five companies of
the Maine boys headed the little column
of 500 which Dahlgren led with such
fatal results against the works of the Con-
federate capital. This ride of unexampled
wildness and bravery cost the regiment z
deaths in battle and wounded besides IS
deaths in prison and IS lingering captives.
Then followed the era of swift rides and
sharp fights of dismounted cavalry.
On the 18th of May, 1864, in Sheridan's
Richmond raid, the First Maine was rear
guard when Stuart was defeated at Yellow
Tavern. The Maine boys fought on foot
and on horseback, and broke for the first
time under the pressure of whole brigade.
The loss was killed and 10 wounded.
The next fight of the regiment was as
warm as any cavalry engagement on rec
ord, and Gregg's division again bore the
brunt. This was at st. Mary's Church,

large mounted force attempted to cut off
