This is the way a farmer correspond
ent to the Iroquois Chief puts it:
"Have I the legal right to say to my
neighbor you must not use agricult-
ural machinery of a certain make and
if he objects to my dictum and persists
in trying to use it in the performance
of his legitimate business I then I'M
hitch his team, break up or render
useless the machine and thus prevent
his blowing, seeding or harvesting, am
I guiltless in the eye of the law or in
the judgment of intelligent people? Or
if I force him to unhitch from a certain
kind of vehicle and won't allow him to
travel unless he goes with the kind of
a conveyance 1 say he may go with and
I have the brute power to enforce my
will in that respect, am I a peaceful
and law abiding citizen and deserving
of credit for what I've done to bring
neighbor to my terms? 1t seems
that that is the principle, no, not prin-
ciple, but dogma undertaking the re-
cent railroad strike"

The country has had an arbitration
law since 1888, which provides for the
settlement by arbitration of all misun-
derstandings between railroads and
employees by each party effected ap-
pointing one arbitrator and the two SO
appointed selecting the third. Either
party interested may demand settle
ment by arbitration according to this
law, but it does not provide any pen
atty if the decision rendered by the ar
bitrators is not complied with, so that
such a law would be almost futile any
way, because if n party was not sat
isfied with the decision they might re-
main at as great difference of opinion
as ever, and a strike consequently con-
tinued. With another provision max
ing the decision of such an arbitration
committee final, and to be ablded by
upon the part of both parties, provid-
ing "a penalty for noncompliance, the
law might be made of some general
benefit.

OUR P%H0NoGRAPH.

j. B. DIcKovER-I came back last
evening from the Guilty Sark mine.
I don't want to say that the mine is
getting richer every time I see it be-
cause that would make it appear too
rich, but we r feeling pretty good
over the property. They are taking
out some of the finest ore 1 ever saw.
and l brought down some elegant d 9
linens, the finest one of which Evans
robbed me of. It is great. We can get
a splendid waterpower at the mine, a
3O-foot fall in about $50 yards, and we
will probably utilize it before long.
We have got to have a mill soon. Oh
yes, the Black Hills is exceedingly rich
in minerals, and the mining industry
has scarcely commenced.

Eight tables of players, all of them
ladies, filed the parlors of the Evans

v~itations from Mesdames Cornell,
Blanchard and Hogan of Chicago and
McShane of Omaha, for a game of pro
gressive euchre. Besides the players
there was quite a bevy of ladies who
preferred to be on-lookers. At5o'clock.
after two hours hard contest, time was
called and cards put aside that de-
1ightful refreshments might be served.

Eugene H. Banvard of Watertown,
s. D., who has heretofore borne a good
reputation, drew drafts on New York
firms to the amount of s13OOand left the
city. The drafts were refused payment.
He wrote his wife that he would never

The loss estimated on account of the
strike, to laboring men, merchants,
railroads and all other enterprises is
now estimated to be more than twice
the entire value of the Pullman Palace
Car company property, which is capt.
talized at s36,OOO,OOO.

IT LOOKS LIKE LUCAS.

The action of Fall River county re-
publicans in passing strong instructions
for the denomination of Capt. Lucas
for congress, makes it almost certain
that the Black Hills will have no other
open candidate for that place, and that
the little opposition there might be to
Lucas would have to give way to G
ional interests, which would make the
Hills counties practically q unit.
The friends of John r. Gamble will
also have to concede that to vote for
him is to vote all our representation in
congress east of the river. to which
there is considerable objection to come
from the many candidates for office on
the state ticket, and from the candi-
dates to be for the United States senate,
residing inthe farming districts. From
a survey ofthe present situation it looks
as though the natural advantages are
very favorable for Capt. Lucas.-Lead

1t doesn't seem as though it should
take long to convince any American
citizen that protection is a principle
that made and kept this country far
above any other in the world for years.
1t is the simplest matter i'll the world
to see the direct benefits that result to
IL country and it's people from a pro-
tective tariff policy. An exchange
quotes Il part of Abraham Lincoln's
first speech on the tariff question.
which for simplicity and solidity can't
be discounted. He said that he did
not pretend to be learned in political
economy, but he thought that he knew
enough to know that "when an Ameri-
can paid twenty dollars for steel to an
English manufacturer, America had
the steel and England had the twenty
dollars. But when he paid twenty dol
lars for steel to an American manufac-
turer, America had both the steel and
the twenty dollars"

Fall River offers more and better in
ducements for the construction of mills
of any kind than any other point in the
west. The power furnished by the
stream will run hundreds of stamp
mills, Touring mills, wooden mills, or
any other kind of mills. It is as sure
in winter as in summer for it never
freezes. Already there is talk of a
stampmill being built here, and a flour
ing mill will come before long. Others
will follow. We have better railroad
facilities than any other point within
hundreds of miles, andthe advantagesin
every way offered by Hot Springs are

Reports from the National capital
are to the effect that the idea of the
government ownership of railroads has
been gaining much Roadway there dur

plan isn't adopted soon for some sort

railroads will come as sure as fate.

The house committee on commerce

investigation of the interference and in
terruption to interstate commerce and

affected. and the employees, II great
good will be the country generally.
In this free country it would hardly
be the proper thing to pass laws that
would force any man OF set of men to
continue a business merely for the sake
of giving somebody employment, but
it does seem that some method can be
devised whereby both the capitalist and
the employee might be represented in
affecting settlement of just such diff
culties as the present strike, which stag
mates the commerce of the whole coun-
try. So long as capital combines to
make more capital out of labor, the latter
will of necessity be forced to combine
for it's defence. and there should be
some authority to whom appeals might
be taken for the settlement of the diff
ferences that must naturally arise. The
dependent public must have some pro-
lection in the matter. and demands
some means by which these ever-recur-
ring difficulties may be settled without
such great paralysis to every line of
trade that is dependent upon general
commerce. Then there would be some
ecourse from the misleading, visionary
or crazy orders from the Debs', Sover-
eign's and their ilk. Justice might be

CAST EN- SOLID.

congressman Lucas record needs no
bolstering up. He has done yeoman
service for the people of the state in
general and the black Hills country in
particular. He has been q good repre-
sentative of the peoples interests in
all that the term implies. The infam-
Gus Wilson free trust" bill has had no
determined enemy in the halls of
congress than this same gentleman
whom democrats and populists delight
to term the carpet bagger." Every
effort of Congressman Lucas has been
in the direction of lettering the con-
dition of the toilers of the country,
whether they be classed among the
factory operatives of the east or the
flockmasters, the cattle growers or the
farmers of the state of South Dakota.

work of Congressman Lucas in behalf
of our 'little world"-the Black Hills

the state convention cannot lose sight
Of it. The national sanitarium for
soldiers at Hot Springs, the Deadwood
public building, the measures insuring
the early erection of the Indian schools
at Rapid City and Chamberlain, to-
gether with many other things of a like
nature which the Republican has not
time to mention, is the best evidence in
the world that the interests of our
people are in no wise neglected. As
the case now stands there is no reason
in the world why the entire Black Hills
delegation should not cast its ninety
two votes solidly for the denomination
of sold Shady."-Rapid City Republic

THE NEW COAL FIELDS

Known as the Chilson canyon mines.
situated on the Cheyenne river, six
miles due east from Edgemont. are be-
ing steadily developed under the direc-
ton of Supt. A. ID. Clark, who came
Yesterday on the b. & NJ. noon train.
The principal workings are two tunnels,
one 60 and the other 200 #. in length,
the former 4 by 6 #. and the latter, for
working purposes 6ls by 8 #. There
are nine other openings on the property
all showing the veins, of which there
are three, all separate and distinct.
The upper one is % #. thick, has a
shale roof and fire-clay floor; the mid
die vein lies between a shaly sandstone
and solid sandstone floor, and averages
3 fiji thickness; and lower stratum is 4
IT. in thickness between solid sand
stoles, the roof yellow and the floor
white. The coal is exposed for a dis
lance of II and one-quarter miles (by
openings) north and south, and for
half a mile east and west. Mr.. Clark
expects to have some of the product on
the market early next fall. 1t has been
used by people living in the vicinity of
the mines for some time past, for dom
este purposes, and it gave good salts
faction. Coal men who have tested it
claim it is one of the best stock Goals

remains in solid blocks, no matter how
long exposed. 1t has been found by
experimental tests to make a very fine
grade of coke.-Deadwood Times.

Hot Springs possesses in its water
power of the most valuable nat
ural acquisitions that can be found in
any place. The supply of water is sure
and steady; never freezing winters, and
the wonderful rapidity of the stream,
the continual fall for which the stream
was namely is the subject of comment
by everyone who pays any attention to
such matters. Regarding the subject
of utilizing the power of water, G. w.
G. Ferris, the we'll known constructor
Of tn Ferris wheel at the Worlds fair,
vino is thoroughly qualified to speak
intelligently upon such matters, says:
"The condition which will determine
the relative expansion of towns and
cities in the next decade is the pres
ence of water power. The whole prob
lem of electricity is one of cheap gen
Grafton. Any city or town of this
country which has a waterfall within
an available distance has, so to speak,
a gold mine. Water power means the
minimum of cheapness in the genera
ton of electricity"
Hot Springs is sanguine in the be-
lief that its splendid water power,
will some day be running mills and
factories all along the stream.
Thousands of horse power is daily
going to waste now, that when the in
dustrial enterprises of the country are
once again set in motion will be in de-
mand.
Then, aside from curing thousands
upon thousands of invalids of their in
Vulnerable ills, the water will be doing
service in furnishing investment for
millions of dollars, and employment
for thousands of workingmen.
With all its natural advantages there
is truly a bright future for Hot Springs.
