SLATE MAKING AGAIN.

The Minneapolis Tribune has a ticket
builder for South Dakota. He may bea
good political prophet, and he may not.
1t depends upon which candidate his
sympathies are with. He thinks there
will be considerable opposition to Gov.
Sheldon for denomination and that it
would be no surprise, although not
probable,to have the governor defeated
for denomination; so that he is evil
IDENTIFY inclined to have Sheldon
knocked out, but isn't so sure about it.
He thinks Robert j. Gamble of Yank-
ton, "Farmer" Winslow of Sanborn,
Joe Green of Chamberlain, or w. w.
Taylor of Spink-now state treasurer
would be in line to fill the place.
For congressman he has no doubt. in
his mind, but that Picker will go back
again, but thinks Capt. Lucas will have
hard shedding as Washabaugh of Dead:
wood, or Fowler of Rapid City, will be
in the way. So that he certainly hopes
that way-but will doubtless learn
differently ere long.
For secretary of state, auditor, and
attorney general, the popular officials
now filling these positions-Thos. Thor
son, j. E. Nipple and Coe L. Crawford
will continue to do so; and he probably
couldn't make Il more accurate pre-
diction.
For state superintendent of schools
he says Salmon will not be a candi-
date again, and that A. r. Gleason of
Kingsbury, G. H. Taylor of Douglas
and Mrs. Bryson of Potter are possible
candidates-to which we might add
Frank Crane of Watertown.
For state treasurer w. w. Taylor
will not again be a candidate, and the
probable candidates for the place will
be s. H. Jumper of Aberdeen, Kirk G.
Phillips of Deadwood, and S. G. Lepple-
man of Gettysburg.
Regarding the senatorial contest the
prophet of the Tribune observes that
there will be several who would like
Senator Pettigrew's seat, but, he says,
''there is no strong candidate in oppo-
sition to the senator"

power to the secretary of the treasury

power to the secretary of the treasury
for strengthening the gold reserve.
By his veto the president has split
the democratic party intwo completely
if it was not already clearly divided. He
has plainly spoken, too, as a gold mon
ometalist, and if ever there were
grounds for questioning his position
in that particular, there can be none
now. He is a deadly enemy to silver.
He does not want it; he too ardently
clings to the dictates of the bugs of
Wall street and Lombard street. This
seigniorage bill was faulty in many re-
spects; we believe it would not have
been beneficial to the ultimate restora-
ton of silver as money, but the presi-
dent in his veto SO emphatically de-
nounced the use of silver in any man.
ner as money that the friends of that
metal will rally stronger than ever to
secure its coinage, and have fair pros
poets of passing a reasonable measure,
to that end, even over a presidential
veto.
Free coinage of the American product
at a ratio of 16 to l, or a duty upon
foreign silver, would soon return the
white metal to it's former standard
alongside gold, in the United States at
least, and stimulate that mining in
dustry in the same manner as the pro-
tective plan to Americas other indus
tries stimulates and keeps them alive,
and gives employment to American
workmen at American wages. By this
method other countries may be forced
to the same plan, and free and unlim-
tied coinage would eventually be the
result, through international agree
ment.

The defense of Representative Brock

Use of marriage, now being tried in the
Washington courts, has furnished lots
of amusement. Tho idea of a man of
his experience, prominence and years
having been led astray by any woman,

is too ridiculous and absurd to con-
slider for a moment. However he had
to make some kind of a defense, and
he doubtless thought this would at
least secure him the sympathy of the
other public men who are following in
his footsteps, because, if successful, it
will furnish a precedent to help get
them out of similar predicaments

According to a relative of Secretary
Hoke Smith, now visiting Washington,
Sam Jones, the slang Singing Georgia
preacher, said lately of the democrats
in congress: "Of all the box-ankled,
bandy-shanked, fiea-bitten, bob-tailed,
NANCY, courageless, brainless jackasses
that ever assembled since God made
the world, I think for pure downright
~cussedness the present gang in con-
gress, headed by Hill in the senate and
tailed by mo quorum in the house,
beats them ALL" And the reverend
Sam is a democrat too.

sEIGNIoRAGE BILL VETOED.

President Cleveland waited as long
as possible, and still be permitted to
express his views and veto the Bland
seignorage bill, but his veto was on
hand on Thursday morning. By veto
ing this measure he directly overrides
the opinion of a majority of the con-
gresham of his own political faith,
and the opinion of men who are sup
posedto represent the desires of their
constituents. The president expressed
his belief that this was closely
related to the repealed Sherman law,
which he claims was largely responsible
for the financial panic of last year, and
that the seigniorage bill would still
farther weaken, if not destroy, conf
dence in our sound financial policy.
The scheme, he says, is "ill-advised
and dangerous. As the ultimate result
of its operation, treasury notes, legal
tender for all debts, public and private,
redeemable in gold or silver, will be re-
placed by silver certificates which,
whatever their character, will have
none of these qualities" He regards
the bill as embodying a plan by which
the government would be obliged to
pay out its scanty store of gold for no
other purpose than to force the
unnatural addition of silver in
the hands Of the people, ian exact
reversal of the policy of safe finance,
for the preservation of a parity be-
tween gold and silver and sensible hi
metalism." He believes the present
bill, if enacted, would be q long step
toward silver recommendation, and In
stead of it recommends giving increased

Iowa has made a desperate effort to
enact IL law that would place more re-
strictions about the saloons, and still
permit them to continue at points
where public sentiment favored them,
or where public sentiment had not
been strong enough to enforce the
p%rohibitory law. The substance of the
new law there is that uponthe payment
of 5000 and the the consent of u certain
number of voters, a saloon may con-
tinue. The law simply legalizes the
breaking of another law when certain
conditions are complied with. It is a
peculiar law, but no comparison
to the Massachusetts, bill now
pending. According to the New York
Sun it is proposed to make Massachu-
sets saloons consist of cells or boozing
booths, into which only one drinker is
admitted at a time. He goes through
substantially the same solemnities that
accompany voting, has a certain time
to take his drink, and must then yield
to his successor. If his name is not on
the registered lists of drinkers he is
thrown out. No saloonkeeper or bar
keeper is allowed to see a registered
drinker toss off his cup. In solitude
and in silence the tossing is tossed.
The tosser isn't allowed even to wipe
his mustache out of doors. No evil
dence of his crime is permitted. In
dark places, and solitary, the deed is
done, and the registered drinker goes
on his way deploring.
If that wouldn't stop a man drinking
there's no use scheming any further.

Farmers in Fall River county are
mostly contemplating planting corn
this spring, instead of attempting to
raise the smaller cereals. 1t has been
quite satisfactorily proven that corn
can be successfully and very proftably
raised, and this being decidedly a stock
raising section of the country, it seems
like a wise plan to raise such crops as
can best be utilized at home in fatten-
ing and preparing stock for market at
any season. Corn is king for that pur-
pose; it grows well here, and lots of it
will be raised this year in Fall River
county.

THE IRRIGATION MoVEMENr,

Active preparations are now being
made for the next National Irrigation
congress to be held about Septemer Is,
at some point in the west not yet de-
termined on. The last congress which
was in session an entire week in Los
Angeles, October, 1893, appointed COM
missioners in every western state and
territory, whose duty it is to prepare a
report to be submitted to the coming
congress covering all the features of
special interest in each state and terri
tory of the arid west. These reports
will show the amount of arid and semi
arid land; the amount of land now ir
rigated. and the acreage believed to
be irrigable; the sources of water sup
ply, developed and possible of develop
ment; the cost of procuring, storing
and delivering water on lands; state
legislation, in force and needed; ma
tional legislation as to the disposition
of arid lands and government control
Of water sources; and such other points
as may suggest themselves to each COM
mission as being pertinent to their
own state.
The commission for South Dakota is
composed of j. T. McWilliams, Aber-
deem, chairman; s.. w. Narregang, Abb
erdeen; s. n. Riggs, Redfeld; r. b.
Hassell, Redf1eld; Robert Evans, Spear

The citizens of this state are o r
daily invited to correspond with any
of these gentlemen, and give them such
information as they may possess on the
points to be covered by their report, as
1t is designed to cover every point of
interest which can be suggested. In
formation covering the work of the
National committee AN be obtained
from Fred. l.. Allies, secretary, Los
Angeles, California, and information as
to the work in this state from any of
the commissioners named above.

Hot Springs should attend to tree
planting this spring. Every street
should be beautified with them. They
are inexpensive, and when once set out
and growing they are invaluable. AS
a resort city Hot Springs needs to be
made as attractive as is possible for
human hands to make it. Nature has
been lavish in making the surroundings
attractive, and with proper care
and attention to the lawns and to tree
planting the beauties of the place can
easily be made unsurpassed. Let every
property owner give this matter a little
attention, set out u few trees about his
home and along the street in front of
his property, and take good care of
them for II Il and they will do
the rest. Do not delay i'll planting

the privilege of publishing it:
Alone l walk the peopled city,
Where each seems happy with his own.
Oh friends! 1 ask not for your pity;
walk Alone.
No more for me yon lake ~rejoices,
Though moved by loving airs of June.
Oh birds! Your sweet and piping voices
Are out of tune.
In vain for me the elm tree arches
Its plumes in many a ~fcathery spray;
In vain the evening starry marches
And sunlit day.
In vain your beauty summer flowers;
Ye cannot greet these cordial eyes;
They gaze on other fields than OURS
On other skies.
The gold is rited from the Golfer,
The blade is stolen from the sheath;
Life has but one more boon to offer,
And that is death.
Yet we'll 1 know the voice of duty,
And therefore life and health must crave;
Though she who gave the world its beauty,
Is in her grave.
j live, oh lost one, for the living
Who drew their earliest lives from thee,
And wait until with glad Thanksgiving
/ shall be free.
For life to me is as u station,
Wherein apart u traveller stands,
One absent long from home and nation
In other lands.
And l as he who stands and listens
Amid the twilight's chill and gloom,
To hear approaching in the distance
\ train for home.
For death shall bring another mating
Beyond the shadows of the tomb:
On yonder shore u bride ia waiting
Until l come.
Thou, then, the longing heart that breakfast,
Stealing its treasures one by one,
I'll call thee blessed when thou makest
The parted one.
