THE Limited Mail" Elmer E,
Vances realistic railroad comedy.
drama, which comes to tho Academy OF
Music next Saturday night, is WE'LL
conceived melodrama with q remarkable
series of exciting and decidedly thrilling
situations.
1t deals with railroads and railroad
people. 1t contains photographers,
tramps, section men and train wreckers.
There are clicking telegraph instru-
ments, realistic engines, palatial Pull
mans and railway postal cars There
are tracks, hand cars, switches and
tunnels, and the railroad is usiiiz d on
the stage as it has never been beiore,
for tho author was g telegraph operator
and train dispatcher at Columbus, O.,
for years, aad his leisure time was not
devoted to losfDg or dissipation, nor
to empty observations about the depot;
but he saw the "limited mails" come
and go daily and nightly, and he has
given them their orders. The successful
production OF his conception is the re-
suit of years of study and he deserves
the success he is everywhere meeting;
and those who witness the performance
here should remember that it repre-
sents the work OF many nights for many
years.
The sale Of seats will commence at
NJohnson u Johnson's this morning.

Irrigation METHODS.

S. S. kea,er, CT Burdatte, HAM
county, is experimenting somewhat
with irrigation for next years crop.
He is now engaged in pumping water
from Wolf creek with Il steam engine
and flooding a piece OF aground. This
is done upon the theory that ii the
subsoil be thoroughly soaked, there
is sufficient rain fall through thecrop
growing season to produce a crop.
This theory seems to be warranted
by past experience and observation.
There was little or no more rain fall
in the early eighties during the sum-
mel than we have had since, but the
big SHOWS of 1901 had thoroughly
soaked the ground so that the grow
ing crops obtained moisture from be.
low and for some years following
good crops were the result-nOtlOcal
~, or in spOts,-but generally, all
over this state and North Dakota.
This theory has been corroborated
also in a few instances by ground
flooded with artesian wells.
SO we believe Mr.. keeler's idea is
all right, but it is probable that he
cannot cover very much ground with
this method. One of the objections
often expressed to artesian well irri-
CATION Is the very common idea, nat
ural enough, too, that constant and
laborious irrigation is required dur
ing the crop growing season. But ii
the above theory is correct, and OBJ
servation and experience tends
strongly in that direction, why the
matter is greatly simplifed and the
practicability of irrigation applied to
this country is established beyond
little doubt.
OF course, to secure arteslan wells
and very general irrigation, time and
money will be required, but when eX-
pariments actually demonstrate its
feasibility and profitableness, money
will seek such investment. There is
no place, apparently, in the world
where ali conditions are more favor
able to successful agriculture than III
South Dakota, with the single eXcep-
ton OF the lack of moisture. Ii that
al be supplied by means OF artesian
wells, capital, in its constant search
for profitable investment, will soon
find it out.

The recent elections afford Oppor-
tunity for u careful, ~unpassionate
study of the political situation as it
really is, and not as any one may
wish it to be. In Mississippithe pop
uIists dropped from % members OF
the legislature to 8 or 10; in Kansas
they lost many counties they have
held four years; in Ohio they lost
ii, 900 votes; this is the report from
various localities, and taken with
their last year'sloss Of all states con-
trolled by them, where is there any
reasonable grounds to hope for a ma
tional party? These are facts, and
whether agreeable or not to our pop
olist friends, may as well be consider
ed as such. The people do not want
Il new party, and refuse to follow
their leaders. The proper thing now
to do is 90 gracefully accept the stu
alton. OF course, some of the leaders
will not give up their cherished hopes
quite yet, but the rank and file are
wasting their time following such
blind leaders,

Major Picker has made his "swing'
around the circle" as a pronounced
candidate for the L. 5. senate, and
has met with marked encouragement
in every quarter, particularly among
the old soldiers and the masses OF the
people. There is every reason to be-
lieve that a republican legislature
will be elected next fall, which will
the following winter select II United
states Senator to succeed Senator
Kyle. We hope and expect that Ma
jor John A. Picker will be that man.
1t is needless to say that his election
would suit IA large majority OF the
people of Hand county.

Public Opinion of Watertown says
it has inside knowledge to the effect
that the democratic party will again
assert itself in South Dakota and en-
deavor to capture either the state
Offices or the legislature. \ syste-
matte effort is to be made to create
factional fights in republican ranks
in every county in the state. That
democratic friend OF Public Opinion
should not startle the world so.
These same tactics have been en-
ployed for years, at least in Hand
county. At every republican con
~vention somebody gets defeated OF
course in tho party contests, then
nauseating sympathy is heaped
upon them by the opposition in the
hope OF creating factional fights.
And we must admit they have had
some success here in the past. Hand
county, however, is once more relia-
bly, republican. No one whose parti-
sanship does not exceed his intalIi-
gence longer doubts this, and past
tricks will have no effect. The only
significance to this democratic state
scheme is the fact that all former
democrats who have recently voted
with the populists, will now return
to the democratic party.

The sweeping republican victories
OF last week were the surprise of the
world, and leading democrats are en-
gagged in blaming each other. AS a
matter OF fact, however. and rs re-
marked by Major Mckinley in his
great st. Paul speech of 1898, there
is nothing the American people are
more eager to do than to vote. 1t
was SO then and remains so today.
The elections of 1898, 1894 and 1895
prove the truthOf this assertion. The
people have proclaimed SO emphat-
ically on these three occasions that
they await with impatience the OPP
p~ortunity to make a GRAND sweep
and retire democracy from power.
The whole policy of the democratic
Administration and party has been
un-American, and the people resent
it. While President Cleveland enjoy
ed the confidence OF q majority of the
American people at the beginning OF
this administration, he will leave
the White House without the conf
dence OF even his,Own party. He has
signaily failed in the grave duties en-
trusted to his charge-and his party
has not only demonstrated it's lack
OF ability to originate and complete
any Important legislation for the
country's good, but has actually con-
tracted a monthly deficit which
stands - n monument to its bust
ness incapacity. Yes, the people
want one more chance to vote.
