Pettigrew VS.. Kyle.

A Washington special of the i2th says:
There is a peculiar kind ofcontest being
waged just now between Senators Petit
grew and Kyle, of South Dakota, over
federal offices in that state. Kyle, il
seems. is doing his level best to dislodge
Pettigrew's appointments secured under
Harrison's administration and place
democ .ats in their places. Notwith-
standing this fact, Kyle continually
writes to South Dakota that, on account
of his being populist, he has no infu'
snce in appointment matters and is not
taking any action in this direction.
Pe.tigrew, az is we'll known in the
northwest, is very shrewd sort Of an
individual. While he does not directly
ask for the retention Of any of his re-
publican friends. so far he has succeeded
in tripping mp Kyle at every stage of the
contest between them.
Kyle has recommended Leslie Thomr'
son, of Sioux Falls, for bank examiner
for the two Dakotas in place Of John
Diamond, the republican incumbent
Pettigrew accidentally dropped into
Comptroller Ecksls' office and discover
cd this fact. He also found that Eckel:
did not intend to remove Diamond be-
cause he is republican. He consider
cd him competent official. and this II
all that is necessary with Ecksss.
Kyle has also attempted to secure the

Several days ago the republican mem-
bers of the Fall River county bar got
their heads together and considered the
advisabiity Of placing before the circuit
0rss.o q ,~
al attorneys, and to select as candidate
for the bench, the one HON they deem
ed would have the best prospects for
success. The committee put in week
making investigations and last Monday
afternoon the Star announced that w.
II. Fry had been selected to bear the
Fall River county standard in the ante
convention campaign. This action on
the part of the Hot Springs attorn eys is
undoubtedly the result ofthe opposition
to Judge Gardner which has developed
in Pennington county. Had the repub.
licans of his own county offered no op-
position TO Mr.. Gardner, it is safe to say
that there would have been none in the
other portions Of the judicial circuit
Pennington county republicans have
complicated matters with their own
hands, and if by any chance combina-
ton should be effected which would
result in the nomination of Hot
Springs man, they can blame no one
but themselves for their loss. Why
they should raise q shado~y, intangible
objection to Judge Gardner when he il
so manifestly acceptable to the rest oi
the circuit, and when his nomination
would be equivalent to his election, ID
simply incomprehensible.

One week from to-day . republ

One week from to-day . republicm
county convention will be held at Far
burn, for the purpose Of nominating >
candidate for commissioner from the
second district, and to elect delegates 70
the circuit and state conventions. =
prediction as TO who would receive The
nomination for commissioner would, u
made at this time, be wholly a random
one. Strange 10 say comparatively little
interest in the filling Of this important
office is manifested, and no resident Of
the district seems sufficiently desirous OF
the nomination TO make an effort to OBJ
tain it. The names Of y. n. Fitch. Ed
Rogers, C. A. Hascrodt, s. r. Shankland,
II. q. Butterfied and d. w. McFadden,
of Custer, and j. T.. Wolfe, Of Pringle,
haye been mentioned in soHa;:.:. -
with the office, but il is not certain tnx.
any one of them would accept the
honor and responsibility in case it were
rendered them. Neither the business
ability or the republicanism of any of
these gentlemen can be questioned, and
were the choice TO be made from among
them it could not be an unwise one. il
is perhaps just as well that there il no
actual slate making in progress, but
even before the day of the convention
the action of the republicans Of the dis
trict should be sufficiently concerted TO
assure the nomination OF some man who
is we'll qualified to perform the duties of
the position.
To the circuit convention at Hot
Springs, on the 10th of Sept, it is al
together probable that solid Gardner
delegation will. be sent. That gentle.
man has made no particular effort to
make himself solid with the voters of
this county, but he is Enthusiastically
their choice, and if there is even the
slightest opposition to him it has not
yet materialiEed.
When 1t comes to the election of a
delegation TO the state convention
at Huron, there will be no issue upon
which to divide the county convention,
and no possibility of conflict. The
nomination of Judge d. Corson as the
Black Hills member of the supreme
bench is virtually assured.

THE SPECIAL SESSION.

Congress has been in session nearly
two weeks, bu. as yet really nothing has
been accomplished, and at present actu-
al legislation of any character seems as
much matter Of doubt as it ever was
Bills innumerable have been introduced
but few of them have been considered
worthy Of notice, and those which at
tracted attention have, in conformity
with the tactics Of those who oppose
them, been amended until they can
hardly be recognized and their passage
made an impossibility. The advocates
of the gold standard have offered bills
for the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law, and have been promptly
met by the free silver men with meas
ures providing for the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of the white metal. Senator
Voorhees, believes that if the national
banks were authorized to issue currency
to the full value Of their bonds on de-
posit with the United States, il would
relieve the present stringency and has
introduced such bill in the senate.
Senator Gordon, with q ehildlike faith
that the democrats really meant what
they said in their platform about state
banks, has in the form of bill express
ed his wish to suspend the state bank
tax for period of Elk months. And so
the conflict in legislative halls goes
merrily on; each day the lines between
the opposing factions grow little clear
sr, aud it becomes more and more ap-
parent that the views of the radicals Of
either side cannot be embodied in U. S.
laws 1t seems strange that at this criti-
cal time, when the people have been as
sured that congress would afford them
immediate relief, that body Is SO hope
lessly divided. Yet it is true, and pos
sibly 1t is better 50. The financial
measures which may be enacted during
the special session will necessarily be Of
the nature of compromise, and no
section or class can be greatly favored
at the expense Of the others. Two
weeks ago the daily press of the country
was almost unanimous In asserting that
tho Sherman law must and would be
repealed, and comparatively little was
thought or said regarding . substitute
which would be acceptable to the BIZ
metalists. But since the convening OF
congress the impossibility Of uncondi-
tonal repeal has manifested itself The
majority of the people Of the United
States viii not endorse the adoption OF
the single standard and silver must and
will be taken care Of. Silver coinage 1t
the ratio Of Is or 20 to would doubtless
be most acceptable to the country, but
as temporary measure. not perma-
nent ono. The government ofthe Unit
cd States cannot hope to maintain the
parity Of silver and gold needless Of the
market value Of the metal first mention
ed, or the attitude Of the other nations
Of the world. Congress i, special ses-
sion cannot settle the money problem,
il can only provide for the present and
immediate future. The final solution
Of the money problem IN, st bc an inter
national one.

The Silver Cliff group Of mines, near
the town of Sheridan, are showing up
better than at any other time in the
past. On the return of the superinten-
dent, Harry Francis, from his eastern
business trip, he placed three additional
shifts Of eight hours each at work driv-
ing in another tunnel on the ledge.
The same ore that existed in the old
tunnel was encountered after going in
but few feet. 1t is the intention of the
company to drive in the two tunnels and
cross cut the ledge at various points and
at the same time certain the extent oil
the ore body. The ore taken out is o.
the same character as FIRST encountered
in opening the mine.--Journal.

$S, 200 900, 900 in . year. became ex-
tremely difficult. The root ofthe trouble
Is that. according to reports July II to
the comptroller. over si3I 600, 900 de-
posits have been Withdrawn In two
months from part Of the national banks.
and probably $l77.0000o0 from all, be-
sides unknown sums from savings, state
and private banks, and during the
month, since July l2. the Withdrawing
and boarding must have been relatively
even greater. The arrest Of industry
goes 90 far that third Of the iron pro-
duction ceased in the month Of July,
and the consumption Of iron in manu-
facture diminished 40 per cent. from
May to July !. Not even this shrink

Everything possible has been done to
secure the change. The present post
master long ago filed his resignation and
aud continued to publish a republican
paper hut that didn't fetch it. Senator
McCarten, not knowing that the resigna.
tion had been filed wrote Senator Roach
asking thatthe Rustler editor he decspi-
tated and his populest henchman be ap-
pointed, As he mailed tae letter at Some
other Office it is safe to assume this Mr.,
Roach received it; but that didn't fetch it..
The postmaster then quit keeping the
Office open all nightto wait for the 500
mail, quit trusting people for postage due
mail, quit opening the pouches after
making up the mail to put in postal cards
but tn at has not fetched it. Commencing
this quarter he will quit cashing up box
rent for half the patrons, and after Oc
tober 10, all unpaid boxes 60 into the
general delivery, If that dosn't fetch it
we don't know what more he can do. In
the meantime his bcndsmen will not per-
NIT him to close up his Office until sue
cessor is named, and the magnificent sal
ary goes right on, and the Rustler editor
gets it, and the populist candidate doesn't;
and that inst just the way it should be.
But we can't help it. If this administra-
tion cannot do business without the aid of
good republicans, az seems to be the
case, and will not lot US off, it is impossi-
BILE for us to give our friends who get
