AN ODOROUS CASE.

John Cole Before Justice Furry for Drug
cling a Woman.
The case against John Cole came up
for trial in Justice Furry's court today,
but was continued on motion of the state
until August 30 Cole is charged with
having drugged and outraged Mrs. Rosa
L. Shaw, the wife of Francis NJ. Shaw,
who is confined in the county Jail for
selling LIQUOR Cole had worked for
Shaw at his joint and Mrs. Shaw became
infatuated with him. Saturday the po-
lice found Cole and Mrs. Shaw near the
cemetery, the former drunk and the lat
ter almost unconscious from the effects
of morphine. Mrs Shaw's condition IS
such that she could not appear in court
today. Mr.. Shaw is the complaining
witness in the case, but it seems proba-
bic that his wife may refuse to testify
against Cole.

WHY BOTHAM SERVES.

To the Editor Of the STATE JOURNAL:

To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
The JOURNAL yesterday published the
story that l offered one Jack Mills a po-
sition on the police force for his ''infu-
ence." 1 will say to you that the story
is false in every particular. Mr.. Mills
was not offered a position Of any kind,
at any price, and, in fact, would not
give sixty cents for the influence of the
entire Republican central committee of
Shawnee county. The new patrOlman,
Charles Botham, referred to is a substi-
tute for John Dagg, who is sick, and paid
by Mr.. Dagg. costing the city nothing.

Some fellows who seem to think; or
try to think, that every other party
would stoopa as low as their own, tire
making the claim that there was "tin-
kering done" with the resolution in
favor of the coinage of the American
product of silver as adopted by tho
republican state convention. Ii those
calamity howlers had been present and
heard the unanimous enthusiasm with
which the entire platform was adopted
they would hardly have the gall to
claim that there was ''tinlSering DONE"
She pop Cry that it is a vote catching
device" may as we'll he admitted as
true, for what party platform is not
made with the intent of pleasing the
greatest number of pcople-in the in
terest Of the majority? The republic
can party will most assuredly plead
guilty of the charge of working for the
greatest good to the greatest number
of American citizens. Its platforms
plainly read that way. The republican
party has an established record for
being plain spoken and for abiding by
it's principles. 1t has too long been i'll
the advance of genuine reform to be
proven derelict and deceitful to the
people. No one but those who practice
such perfidious schemes would accuse
the republican party of adopting reso-
lutions merely as ''vote catching de-
vices The trouble with the pops and
dems is that the republican platform
is too plain to suit them, and is a vote
winner. for when the republican party
declares for certain principles it fights
for their adoption; it never has betray-
ed the confidence of the people. The
platform is Il magnificent one which
pleases the people and therefore hurts
| the enemy.

LUCAS DEFEAT.

Illustrative of how unreliable are re-
ports sent from such a gathering as
was the republican state convention. it
is only necessary to refer to the dis
patches sent from Yankton on the Odd.
which almost positively asserted that
Lucas would De re-nominated, while
the chances for Kirk Phillips were said
to be very small. The result proved
Just the opposite Speartish Mail.
Yes. but who imaginedthat Lawrence
county would ever object to the Black
Hills having IL congressman? The
heads of themany ambitious statesmen
OF Lawrence county have thus sud
denly been chopped off by the shrewd
tactics of Kirk Phillips friends who
were directly interested in his success.
The election of the latter may be of
more benefit to a certain few in Dead
wood than the return of Congressman
Lucas. but it will be difficult to satisfy
II other Hills counties that they are
better off with Phillips than they
would have been with Lucas.
No greater political mistake was
ever made by the republican party
than when they turned down Capt.
Lucas after he has been such "a faith
full servant of the people in congress-;
no %ungrateful act was ever com
mitted. either i'll politics or out of it.
And it was nothing less than disloyalty
on the part of Lawrence county to-
ward the other Hills counties. and the
righteousness of less popular candi-
dates that defeated Lucas.
Capt. Lucas had more. stronger and
warmer friends after the result of the
convention had been considered than
amy other person whose name had
been before the convention. That was
oneof the instances where defeat makes
a man stronger. He took the result
nobly. Had he sought revenge for per-
tidy he might have been nominated for
governor. but Immediately upon the
presentation of his name for that office
he had it withdrawn. although when
named for the position it was received
with tumultuous applause.
The principles of rcpublicanism are
foremost with us. and our efforts shall
be eNerted toward gaining success for
men who espouse those principles, but
within the ranks of republicanism
there is a hereafter when the consider
alton of men may again be the FREEDOM
mating theme.

THE HILLS IN POLITICS.

The Black Hills country ought to be
a little state by itself, if only to satisfy
the ambition of a clique of republicans
in Lawrence county. If it were made
in tina state it would be the ~liveliest
little commonwealth on earth; for every
politician in the Kingdom of Lawrence
county is fully determined that if his
personal ambitions fail he will do his
utmost to pull down those ofhis neigh
Dor. a good illustration of this rule
or ruin policy was seen in the workings
of the Lawrence county delegation in
the republican state convention last
week, where the solid vote of the six
Hills counties would have nominated
Capt. Lucas. Thirty-nine votes from
Lawrence went for Pickler and Gamble
against the solid vote of the other five
counties, and these would have given
Lucas more than enough. This oppo-
sition was the work of men who have
had their congressional lightning rods
up for years. men who control the little
kingdom of Lawrence, but are small
potatoes OH the other side of the river;
and to satisfy their own disappointed
ambition they deliberately traded a
congressman, a labor commissioner
and probably their Legislative and
county ticket for the state treasurer
ship. We hope their treasurer will be
elected. The Miner has commended
that the kingdom of Lawrence does
not include the entire Hills, but it APP
pears to have been mistaken. Like
all good republicans. the Miner will
cheerfully, support the entire ticket,
and can patiently submit to the, intiic-
tion. of granger congressman. much
longer than the Knights Of lawrence
will willingly do.-Hiu City Tiff Miner.

CAPT. LUCAS AND TIE UNITED
STATES SENATE.

That Capt. Lucas is one of the
strongest men politically in the state
is cvinced by the fact that the press is
very generally referring to him as &
formidable candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Senator Petit
grew. Capt. Li,eas being thoroughly
familiar with congressional work
we"ld certainly be fully prepared &c do
efficient work for the state should he
be chosen for the position. Ii the re-
publican legislature concludes that IL
term is sufficient for a senator, and
therefore refuses to return Pcttigrew,
Capt. Lucas will from the very nature
OF things. political and otherwise. be
the natural choice of the state. The
Black Hills now being without repre-
%sentation has every reason to ask for
such recognition. Senator Pettigrew
and Mr.. Gamble are separated by less
than II hundred miles, which might
be regarded rs another argument for a
change in the location of senator. The
office of senator, like those that have
recently been filed by nomination, we
suppose is open to the ambitions of
any one or to the wishes of the people
through their representatives at any
time, and hence it will he strictly in ac.
cord with ''precedent." and all else
that is republican and time-honored, if
Mr.. Lucas becomes u candidate for the
United States senate through the ur-
gent solicitation of earnest republicans
from all portions of the state.

Already the results of democratic
tariff legislation are being felt. One
instance comes to our notice in the fol-
lowing special to the Omaha Bee from
Cheyenne: Bartlett Richards, "a we'll
known stockman of Chadron, Neb., was
enriched several thousand dollars blythe
new tariff bill. When the bill passed
the senate Richards went to Mexico
and purchased Loco head of cattle for
- and So ii head. He also secured an
option Oh about 5000 head additional
for fall delivery. At that time the duty
OF Mexican cattle was $40 Il head. The
new law fixes the duty at 30 per cent.
ad valorem. which increases the value
of every Mexican steer several dollars.
The operation of the law will work Il
great hardship on cattle growers in
this country" Such is the manner in
which our chief western industry is
being injured by the operation of dem
ocratic legislation.

REFORM"

The populists are great reformers.
The word reform is their battle CRY.
1t is a word for which the people have
the greatest respect, for there are but
few things eNtant in which most people
cannot somehow figure out that they
could improve upon if they could only
have their way for awhile. 1t seems to
be quite human for us to figure out
wherein we could do things a little bit
better than our n%eighbor. Lots of
people for instance imagine that they
could run a newspaper far better than
the unlucky mortal who is trying to
make "a go of it; or any number of
people can tell u merchant how he
should conduct his store and what he
should sell goods for; or they can give
the lawyer lots of pointers that he
eve dreamed of, OF tell the preacher
how to become popular, or the farmer
how to raise big crops in Il dry season.
They know all about everything, but
devote so much time posting other
people just how to do that they don't
just seem to make Il success of their
own business. But there will always
he melody to human ears in the word
reform The world needs it-every-
thing needs it. The word is euphon-
ious to all ears; in it there is Il sort of
balm i'll Gilcad. But whatmust honest
people who have been led astray by
the i,vpulist cry of reform think when
they learn ttat the twelve populists i'm
congress introduced measures daring
the recent session calling for Hppropri-
ations amounting to s49.O0O,OOO.OoO.
.at that ratio. if Il majority of both
houses of congress were populists. the
gross appropriation would be S92S.OOO.-
&O.OO,Oo0. That would certainly be
one way to reform the country and Sc
cure al immense circulating medium.
At that rate all the printing offices in
the country would likely get IL nice job
printing money. The country would
be Hooded with money and there would
be one merry round of pleasure. and
the country ;h. but stay! like the
pastors wonderful one boss shay. would
so to pieces without delay. That is
populist craftsmanship, populist "re.
form.'
