THE argument on the land loan idea
now running in this paper between Sena-

students OF the money question, Is a fair
sample of the way in which populists
handle any question. They argue it.

good points are consequently brought
out that would otherwise remain OBJ
scure. An earnest, friendly argument on
any question is a splendid thing and by
the way it is CONSPICUOUS in the old par
ties principally from it's absence.

Sixty days ago. when the management
stopped putting IN goods, it was sup

supply the trade, but since June l they
have received fourteen cars from the
factory at Chicago. and yesterday were
compelled to forward fifty-seven car
load orders for country points to the
home office to be filled direct from the
shop, as it was impossible to handle
them here.

Blacksmith's Faces.

Is the blacksmith's trademark a
scowl? A writer on Grades and Faces"
in Blackwood's Magazine finds the
following to say about him: In most
blacksmiths the constant exercise of
the corrugator supercili muscles causes
a permanent frown, and gives the face
a somewhat hald expression; but
whether there is any inward and spir-
itual state corresponding with this out
ward and visible sign I am not quite
sure Whether their characters in any
way correspond with their acquired ex-
pressions / did not discover; there was
a grave courtesy in their demeanor
while in hospital which was singularly
dignifed and pleasing, although al
ways slightly suggestive of the polite
ness of foes during an armistice.

MESSENGERS or THE SKY.
About the Remarkable Kites Made By the
Japanese and Chinese.

Japanese and Chinese.
In the making OF kites shape is no
consideration. A square, circle, man,
star, fish, dragon, horse or shield will
fly equally well, but they must be
equally proportional. In Japan one
sees a whole menagerie at nee in the
air-horses, cows, monkeys, bats, fishes,
crows and snakes, as well as dragons,
babies which cry, boys with their arms
and legs spread out, hunters and sol
diers.
Fighting kites" are see everywhere
in both China and Japan.
The armed kite is usually made about
two and a half feet high and covered
with cambria or silk. The tail may be-
made of strips Of bright-colored G y
about one inch wide, securely tied rs
the middle to a strong Irvine. The d.
structive part of this kite lies in
the tail, to which are attached sharp
pieces Of broken glass called knives.
Fasten three of these knives together
with wax, SO that each shall point in a
different direction, bind on three slips
of thin wood lengthwise to hold the
wax and glass firmly, and cover with
cloth or kid.
A much simpler weapon is made by
dipping the ten feet of string next to
the kite in glue and then rolling it in
pounded glass until thickly coated with
a glistening armor of sharp points. The
object with both is, of course, to cut
your opponents string. The skillful
maneuvering which this requires is
very good practice in training one to
act quickly. 1t is considered dishonor-
able to cut an unarmed kite.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER s, 1896.


Last spring there was much interest
taken In the subject of ~irrigating the
divide lands between Rapid and Box
Elder creeks. The plan IN the judgement
OF the writer was a practical one if only
carried out. Ofcourse many think there
is not enough water to justify the ex-
penditure OF the money necessary to
take the warer' from Rapid creek out
upon this divide, but il the water which
escapes from the country could be stored
up IN reservoirs as has often been sug-
gested, then there Is no question but a
volume Of water could be utilized that
would irrlgate thousands OF acres OF
land. This we mean could be done and
not Interfere with the present water
rights and bitches O in use along the
valley-the surplus water which falls and
runs away when these bitches are not in
use, would simply have to be saved in
reservoirs and the quantity that could
be thus saved would be a surprise even
to the most enthusiastic advocate of
this scheme. It has been proven this
md in former years that one good soak
ing up OF the ground in the fall and
spring, will produce without any further
irrigation almost double the amount
that land does without thus beng wet UP.
So 1T would pay il all did not get enough
water to trrigate thoroughly. This is
the time OF the year to agitate the
measure. as in the spring every one is
busy at something else and should a
plan be agreed upon and SO far perfected
that work could be recommended, farmers
living along the line OF the proposed
ditch would have more time to work on
1T and we have no doubt that nan
would gladly put in their labor for an
interest IN q, scheme that would bring
them water.
We have but little idea as to what the
building of a ditch and reservoirs OF
this kind would cost but we do know
that it has been done in other countries
whore the people we're in no better fnan-
cial condition than here and we have
the RICH to presume that our people a
do the same thing if once & feasible plan
is proposed and put into operation.
This would mean much to the country
and also to the town OF Rapid City
and if once shown to be practical, assls-
tance can without doubt be secured.

Powder Puns.

Probably not many women know
where the powder puffs with which
alabaster brows and blushing cheeks
are produced come from. There is a
place in Chicago where some nimble
fingered girls are engaged all the year
round in making them. The material
is the soft, fluffy down from cygnets or
young swans, and it comes largely from
the islands of the Baltic sea.

PRETTY VS.. HOMELY WOMEN.

One of the women who fell into the
Colorado legislature was Mrs. Klock
And, as related in rather racy song
in regard to the Bowery, shall "neveI
go there any more"
She says she is certain that the
other two women were Of no more use
than she, and declares that all In all
legislative work for women cannot
compare with the impulsive joys of a
pink tea.
If women were Of mature age, sound
judgment and q decent amount of
common sense, she says. they might
possibly be Of some service after they
had mastered the routine work. And
this: Il would never send q young
and pretty woman to such a place.
She would have no show with SO
many fool men around to fiatter and
cajole her into voting wrong"
There can be no doubt that there is
something in that. Young and pretty
women should not be sent to the legis-
lature. The fool men would undoubt-
edly fiatter them. This they could do
with safety, as the rules of the house
and the strong arm of the sergeant-at-
arms would exclude the husband from
the floor
The sight OF a husband watching
a legislator cajole and f1atter his wife
in the usual legislative way, while he
was penned up in the gallery, would
be as diverting as panic in a lunatic
asylum.
Further, rs matter OF fact, Mrs
Klock should know that no pretty
women viii be sent to the legislature.
Few pretty or attractive, or lOvable
women get into public life for obvious
reasons. There, indeed, probably lies
the basis, inborn prejudice Of the men
against public women. If Mrs. Klock
is going to send nothing but homely
women TO the legislatures, the men
who helped give females suffrage will
revolt and repeal the law. The more
pretty women go to legislatures, the
more diversion the good or-nothing,
lazy, loafing state legislator, who is
an eXcresence and modification to
his constituents. will have 1t will be
his especial delight to cajole the pretty
women into voting wrong. The more
pretty women sent to the Legislature,
the more certain that female suffrage
is not fin-di-siecle spasm of minds
weakened by overrefnement.
SO. Mrs. klock has unintentionally
set forth rule that is death to the
woman legislator. For she bars young
and pretty women from public life and
exalts the old and homely ones, and
the man legislator, who controls these
matters Of suffrage, is still quite mas
culinc.

The Kansas Editor.

From the Kansas City World.
Kansas journalism is the most vigor-
Gus article OF it's kind in the world.
The Kansas editor is no coward; he is
no Sycophant; he is no flaterer. In his
heart he is for some man, or for some
principle, or for some measure; in his
editorials and speech he devotes nearly
all his space and time against one
thing or the other. His voice is trained
only to criticise. He applaudS by
silence. Be he Republican, Democrat,
Populist, Prohibitionist, or whatnot, he
is certain Of his position. He Is never
dubious, never heSitant, never passive.
He does not know the meaning OF the
word conciliatory. and parenthetically.
it may be remarked, he knows no less
the meaning of surrender. When he
strikes, the blow is always from the
shoulder. When he lands, the blow is
always felt; no matter what damage he
may receive at the same time from the
other fellow, who always fights as hard
rs he does. He thinks quickly and acts
more quickly. and whatever the conse-
quences may he, he hasn't time for re-
pentance- He never believeS-he
knows. He never requests-he da-
mands. He never defends-he attacks.
He never proposes-he does. He knows
no halfway places; in politics he Is a
partisan, and he is proud Of II; IN re-
ligion he is a Puritan or an iafidel, and
he doesn't care a tinkerS damn who
knows it. Impulsiye. energetic, ag-
gressive. intractible. intrepid. immova-
bic, is this Kansas tditor. and he loves
his contemporary and admires his op-
ponent only for an exhibition Of per-
sistence OF convictions.
In short. the Kansas editor IS a
