THE NEW BA6Y.

There came to port last Sunday night
The queerest little craft,
Without al inch of rigging on:
looked and looked and laughed.
1t seemed SO curious that she
Should cross the unknown water
And moor herself right in my room
My daughter, on, my daughter!
She had no manifest but this,
NO ilaS floats DER her water;
She's too nCW for the British LlOyds-
My d~nuGnt"r, oh, my daughter!
Ring our, W,II bolts, and tanned ones too
Ring out the lovers moon.

Ring in the bib and spoon.

King ia the milk and water!
Away with pa per, pen and ink

CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.

The congressional situation in South
Dakota is becoming p%erillous to the
safety of the Republican party. The
springing of Mr.. Candles candidacy
means simply that the east half of the
state intends to have both senators,
both congressman and the bulk of the
state officers, and leave the Hills wholly
unrepresented. The Black Hills fur
nishes a good, healthy republican ma
jority at every general election, but if
our wishes are to be wholly disregarded
and IL legitimate rights totally ig-
nored i'll the distribution of state and
United States officials, it will be an up
hill business keeping the party in line
and keeping the republican majority
up to the safety point. We are all
''good boys out here, but everyone
knows that ven good boys will run
away from home if unfairly dealt with
or ~uniustly punished.
Mr.. Gamble is said to be very popu.
lar at home and is sure of II nomina-
ton. This raises the question us to
which of the present incumbents it is
intended to lay OH the shelf. If it is
Major Pickler that is to be sacrificed to
satisfy the ambition of Il new man, the
fight will be a hard one, for Major
Picker is very popular with the re-
publicans of the whole state. His SER
vice in congress has shown him to be
an able legislator and III who can be
implicitly trusted. Hence his friends
will never surrender without a bitter
struggle.
If it Is Capt. Lucas who is to be side.
tracked at the bidding of politicians of
the eastern portion of the state the
Black Hills must necessarily be left
unrepresented-something they will
resent and resist, much to the injury
of the party. Capt. Lucas has proved
himself a faithful representative and a
man of no mediocre ability as a states
man. Such being his record, he is de-
serving of Il second term. 1t will never
do to attempt to placate the republi-
cans of the Hills with the offer of some
inferior or unimportant places OH the
state ticket. If the party expects to
hold its republican majority in the
Hills-and it may need it-let the con-
vention look we'll to it's action in Sc
Letting candidates for congress-

TIE L UNITED.

1t is now definitely known that Kirk
G. Phillips will be a candidate for state
treasurer before the republican state
convention, rs the forty delegates from
Lawrence county to be selected next
Saturday will go instructed for that
gentleman. 1t is more than probable
that the ninety-seven votes from the
six Black Hills counties will be cast for
Il Black Hills man, not only for Il state
treasurer, but Il congressman also. Ii
Deadwood politicians will make up
their minds to ask for only one office
on the state ticket the Black Hills can
unite and secure about all they de-
mand from the hands of the conven-
ton. Would it not be u wise thing for
the Deadwood gentlemen to declare
themselves and place themselves in a
position to assist their neighbors in the
Black Hills? If they decide to unite
and work in harmony all sections of
the country will be benefitedthereby.-
Rapid City Journal.
The journal is right. If political
way come to an understanding this Sec
ton of country would stand a better
chance of getting the recognition in
state politics to which it is entitled. It
has been largely due to this very lack
of intelligent union that the Hills have
failed to get their share of the state
offices. Lawrence county is solid for
Kirk Phillips for treasurer, as the Jour-
nal states. The Hills wants and should
have IL member of congress. So far as
we u learn Kirk is all right with the
SIN Black Hills counties, and is strongly
endorsed by eastern counties. AS for
congressman-there's the rub! Who
will the six counties unite upon? They
must go practically united to secure
the nomination. 1t is time politicians
i'll each county were putting their
heads together and figuring out the
conundrum.-Spearfish Register.
The Register evidently fails to under
stand the drift of the Journals re-
marks, or else it is inclined to regard
Lawrence county as the Black Hills.
If Lawrence county desires to have the
Hills united upon a candidate for con-
gress all it has to do is to declare itself
for Capt. Lucas. for that is the way the
other counties will vote. The people
are deciding this matter, and not the
political leaders" as suggested by the
Register. Let Lawrence county de-
eide whether it is going after all the
state offices that the Hills is entitled to
or not. as the Journal requests. and
it will then be easy enough to see
whether the Hills counties can unite.
The other counties are united. Law.
renee can make it unanimous-and
they doubtless will.

The brutal murder of President Car
not of France by Il miserable anarchist
is enough to set people to thinking in
this country as to where they are drift
ing when anarchism is publicly advo-
Gated by men of considerable promi-
nence-men who would like to be con-
grcssmen. True they may contend
that their anarchistic teachings are of
IL different nature, but they advocate
anarchy, and anarchy is opposed to
government; and consequently glories
when the chief magistrate of govern
ments are slain. Yet how strange that
men who thus oppose government
should aspire to be a government leg
