ception, certainly among the upper
American classes.
Our wealthy society people do not
produce numerous offspring. A life of
absolute luxury and pleasure is not
conducive to such result. Then, too,
malpractice by skilled specialists, -
dearly bought and paid for, can ae-
count for many childless woman of
fashion, without doubt.
The late marriage of American wom-
en-, which has superseded the youth
full unions so prevalent lin the days of
our grandmothers, is still another
cause. The girl who weds at eighteen
takes marriage and maternity with
the never-thinking mind of youth. The
young woman who remains single un-
til she is well into her twenties has
had time to look about her, to think
and ponder, to weigh consequences, to
see results, and, however deeply she
may be impressed by nature with ma
ternal instincts, she is burdened with
the experience of her friends and
avoids a repetition of them in her own
case.
We might quote improper dressing of
the body as one cause for the decline
of maternity, but when we look upon
the corseted waists and bouffant hips
of bellies in the days of our grand
mothers we fear the argument will not

many avoid maternity of sheer
fright
In no other country in the world is
the experience attended with so many
dangers to health, and consequently to
happiness. Men who note this fact
from observation are averse to seeing
their wives pass through the ordeal;
and the great expense which is en-
tailed by large family of children is
also most important factor in with
holding men from becoming fathers.
Gifted people or those of high mental
endowments are frequently childless. or

A GRAVE CHARGE.

The Leader claims to have been reli-
ably informed that the Custer delegates
were guilty OF trying to persuade leading
democrats Of that locality to put ticket
in the field the coming campaign. The
Leader is evidently averse to any such
action on the part Of the democrats, as
may be readily inferred 10y its gratui-
tous, but significant comment. The
Leader says:
"We very much mistake the good
sense Of our democratic friends if they
allow the sophistry of few republican
ringsters TO prevail against their better
Judgment. and allow themselves To be
made cats paw Of to rake the republi-
can chestnuts out of the fire."
We are unprepared to say as to
whether the delegates referred to are
guilty Of the charge or not, as We have
only the unsupported word Of the
Leader for it, but we can plainly see,
and do not hesitate To say that, in pub
fishing the above comment, the Leader
was guilty of trying to influence the
democrats in an opposite direction, and
we confess that We are wholly unable to
distinguish difference between tweedle
dee and tweedle dunn. The Leaders
pathetic appeal to the better judgment
of the democrats, will no doubt be as
influential as could be expected, taking
into consideration the vitality interested
source from which it emanated. Is this
bid for fusion? Echo answers--a bid
for fusion.

A Populist Administration.

Up in North Dakota they are now ap-
preciating the results of experimenting
with populist state administration
and in all probability "once will be en-
ough for them" Ifthere had ever been
any danger of South Dakota entrusting
her affairs with populist administra.

experience Of her sister state would be
enough to lead her 70 preserve hcrsc..
from a similar fate. For instance, the
state board Of equalization ha this year
raised the assessment of farm lands
millions of dollars, Notwithstanding
their actual value has decreased, and
increased the rate of the state levy clear
up to the constitutional limit. four mills.
or course there is howl. 1t costs Cass
county nearly $1,000 more than did the
republican administration, Grand Forks
county over $500 more. Pembina coun-
ty over $1,000 more, Richland county
about 4.400 more. Trail county $500
more, Walsh county $6,000-and so on
through the list The contribution
which the counties of the Red river
valley have to make tn the stste treas.
ury, for the luxury Of having a ropulist
administration in charge of affairs at
the capital. Is nearly S35.00O. And even
with all this there will he deficiency.
North Dakota will change all this at the
coming election. ard Sonth Dakota will
know enough to escspe enirely the
financial difficulties which her sister
state is suffering from populistic re-
gime.- Sioux Falls p,ess.

Populiafic "Economx .

Congressman Pigott, Of Connecticut,
prints in the Congressional Record q
speech which has raised intense excite
ment in the ranks Of the populists. And
well it may. for il presents startling
array OF figures in opposition to the
claim that the populistic party repres-
ents all there is left of economy in the
nation. Mr.. Pigott has, in q studious
way, gone over all the bills introduced
in congress this session by populist
members and has separated those which
carry appropriations from the national
treasury from those which contain no
appropriation clauses. Aggressting the
amounts contained in former, Mr.. Pi-
gott finds that the populists have thus
far In the session sought to appropriate
to various schemes Of their own inven-
ton Thirty-fivs Billion FIVE Hundred
and Seven Million Three Hundred
Thousand Dollars of the money OF the
people. These various appropriation
bills were not passed, but of course II
was the intention of tho gentlemen who
introduced them to secure their passage

figures the designs upon the treasury

Outside Of political circles the weather
has been perceptibly cooler during the
past week. Light frosts indicating the
near approach Of the season of the
serve and yellow leaf" have been
noticed by those who have sufficient APP
probation of the exhilarating effects of
the early morning air of Custer to get
out and enjoy it, J, has however grown
notlcably warmer in the atmosphere of
politics, and at the present rate of in
crease in temperature the political
caldron will doubtless reach the point
of violent ebulition before the world
shall have waxed week older. The
republican county convention, which is
to decide the fate of so many anxious
expectants is but a brief week in the
future, and the great struggle for politi-
cal success is consequently becoming in
tensified as the days multiply. The
situation In Custer county is peculiar,
inasmuch as there are no definite signs
leading to fixed conclusions as to who
among the multitude OF aspirants will
reach the goal Of their hopes. Upon
former similar occasions the chances for
the success of tine more prominent can.
didates for nomination were more clear
ly defined, but at this juncture. beyond
the well settled conclusion of republi-
can success at the polls. nothing can be
said with definite certainty as to future
political events in Custer county.

Inspection Exercises.

Capt. Willard, of the Custer City
Guards, is in receipt ofs commune cation
from &. t. Jeffers, Inspector General
South Dakota National Guards, dated
Sioux Falls, Sept. lst, requesting him TO
invite all officers of the General staff,
regimental and battalion officers In full
uniform. and all civil state as we'll as
municipal officers who reside in his
vicinity 20 attend the inspection exer-
cises of his company at some convenient
date to be fixed by nim sometime dur
ing the present month. The date of
the inspection will be fixed at an early
day, when due notice of the same will
be given through the columns of the
CHRONICLE.
The Captain reports much interest
manifested, and fair progress being
made in the non-cCmmissioned officers
school which is being held one evening
of each week, and which is also open to
competition by the privates of the com.
pany. The company inspection prom
ises to be quite interesting, as the
members of the company are making a
strong effort to acquire proficiency, and

The late forest fires in Minnesota, Of
which an extended accountappears upon
the second page of this issue, was one of
the most direful and appalling events
that ever occurred in the history of the
which went out in this great holocaust
may only be approximated, as by reason
of the probable total destruction of a
number of the bodies of the victims, no
definite estimate can ever be reached.
The actual number now known to have
perished exceeds four hundred, while
as yet, large area of the burnt district
remains unexplored. The vast amount
of property destroyed, aggregating mil
lions of dollars, is lost sight of in the
contemplation Of it's more narrowing

The Y. Y. Engineering and Mining
Journal, after a careful study of the
situation, speaks thus encouragingly of
the present prospects for renewed pros
perity: "Once more signs of renewed
prosperity continue TO multiply. On all
sides an increased demand for raw ma
terials is reported, with new plans for
construction work, and the number of
unemployed men is decreasing 1t is
not, Of course, to be expected that full
measure of prosperity will return in a
week, after so long a period of depres-
sion; but evidence that we are at any rate
facing toward better times than we have
had for the past year is encouraging
There is certain class of economists
who like the famous Mr.. Gradgrind of
fiction demand facts" alone, and decry
the influence Of sentiment in business
but that sentiment and sympathy are
exceedingly powerful factors no careful
observer who has been through one or
two panirs will pretend to doubt. 1t is
evident now that the general sentiment
is changing, and the hopelulness for the
future is taking the place of doubt aud
distrust"
