A

Ihc acceptance of the Carey act by
Wyoming and the results which have
followed is the most important feature
of irrigation development. Not
only has it involved the construction
Of numerous and important bitches by
the state, says the Cheyenne Sun
Leader, but II supervision over the arid
irrigable lands heretofore unknown in
this or any other state. Colorado and
Idaho have been closely watching with
unqualified interest the working Of the
'eNperiment' by Wyoming in her
PROCLAMATION scheme" So we'll pleased
we're they both that they have adopted
the plan themselves and, having form
ally accepted the gift, are preparing to
select the lands.
The benefits of the plans for the set
tlemcnt of the irrigated lands and the
equity i'll the distribution of the water
under the rules laid down by the sys-
TEN adopted by this state at once COM
mands itself to the homeseeker. The
state is given absolute title by the
United States and in turn gives abso-
lutte title to the settler, only charging
fifty cents an acre for the land carry
ing with it Il perpetual water right,
and making the purchaser an equal
shareholder in the ditch furnishing
the water. the settler as a stakeholder
paying his pro rata of the expense of
it's construction and enjoying his
proper share of it's earnings and as a
shareholder he has his proportionate
vote in the management of the ditch.
The state offers this land to settlers
for fifty cents an acre, onc-half te be
paid when the filing is made, and the
other half when the patent is applied
for. Filings can be made on twenty
acres or any multiple of twenty acres
up to 100 acres.
Since the state of Wyoming began it's
work i'll this field the commissioners
have selected within n few acres of
100000 that is now practically "under
ditch" while projects submitted to the
state and held for further examination
cover $4,000 acres in addition.
A bill covering the points above
enumerated was drafted and intro
duced in the last session of the legisla.
ture by Senator Wilson. 1t was IA
splendid measure, but owing to the
time aud work involved in getting up
such 81 bill, that would suit the pecu-
liar and varied conditions of South Da-
kota. it WAS not completed i'll time to
get through that session. We believe
it was Il splendid measure, we'll adapted
to the interests of the arid regions of
South Dakota, and if the same meas
ure is taken up at the opening of the
coming session of the legislature we
believe there will be no trouble in
passing it.

his OWL way. This was his very first
step. 1t is inevitable that he should go
on i'll the same arbitrary and dictatorial
way. The populists of South Dakota
will find that they will have a dictator
to deal with; a dictator, too, who has
suddenly appeared among them simply
as Il boss without asking their leave.
The Press is o Pettigrew's organ,
and it's course indicates that he proposes
to boss the s%enatorship in the legisla-
ture this winter. Senator Kyle is a
candidate for reelection. He was fight
ing for populistic dogmas when Petit
grew found it convenient to his pur-
poses to deuounce those dogmas aud to
heap contemptuponpopulists In short,
the question is seeming before the %
lists of South Dakota whetherthey will
merge their identity in Pcttigrew's ab-
solutism-a pretty important question
for them, one would think. They may
not as yet understand the fact, but the
fault OF their understanding does not
alter the fact. They will not, however,
be long in finding it out. If Pettigrew
can defeat Senator Kyle, if he can die
tate the disposition OF the senatorship,
if he can impose his arbitrary will on
the populists in the legislature this win
ter, the jig will beup with the populists
of South Dakota. They will become
playthings for Pettigrew. In short, the
alternatives before the populists of
South Dakota are whether they will
populize Pettigrew or whether he will
Pettigrewize the populist party. 1t is
quite an interesting situation.-Sioux
City Journal.
Tho sentiment expressed in the above
we believe is quite correct, excepting
the inference that the defeat of KYLE
is a victory for Pettigrew. That all de-
ponds upon who is selected as Kyle's
successor. We believe the populists
can do themselves credit by defeating
Kyle-providing of course they choose
an ADLER man and one whom Pettigrew
Can not control. The only recommend
that Kyle has is that he is not Petit.

FOR A BLACK HILLS SENATOR

The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted by the Custer Silver.
club Mt a meeting held OH Nov. 30:
1T is the sense of all the advocates of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio OF 16 to 1. regardless of past
party affiliations, residing in Custer
county, S. ID. expressed through the
principal club of said county at Custer
City, that the Hon. \. j. Plowman. of
Deadwood. is the logical choice of the
silver people of South Dakota for the
position of United States senator from
this state, and WI therefore urge all
members of the legislature elect to
place him i'll that position: and we
especially urge all legislators from the
Black Hills country to stand solidly
for Judge Plowmau for the position.
We further insist that. in view of the
fact that it was the vote of the Black
Hills which elected the peoples ticket
in this state. that this section is en-
titled to United States senator and we
recommend him to the members of the
legisla ture as the strongest and ablest
advo cate of II principlesin the state"
In view of the fact that Deadwood
already has one memher-elect of con-
gress it will ecu to the average reader
that the election of Judge Plowman
would he giving that portion of the
state more than its share of represent
tation. A happy compromise would
seem to be in the selection of a south
ern Hills man. The Custer Silver club
evidently overlooked the fact that this
senatorial district has an eligible candi-
date i'll person of Col. y. j. Kellar.

MESSAGE.

President Cleveland's last message
was read to both houses of congress on
Monday. 1t has been looked forward
to with much interest because of the
important subjects the president was
expected to discuss. The message be-
gins with a brief reference to the duty
Of congress TO the people and a grace
full comment on the way all have
emerged from the recent bitter politi.
cal conflict, after which it discusses
this country's relations with Turkey.
recommending patience and suggest
ing that interference by the United
States might, instead of accomplishing
good, work disaster. The president
holds that it is the province of Euro
pean powers to decide upon a course
o. action and says nothing can be done
until they speak.
Regarding Cuba, Mr.. Cleveland de-
clares that the Instruction in Cubn
still continues with all it's perpleNities.
1t is difficult to perceive that any pro-
gross has thus far been made towards
the pacification OF the island, or that
the situation of affairs. as depicted in
his last annual message, has in the
least improved. If Spain still holds
Havana and the seaports and ali the
considerable towns, the insurgents still
roam at will over two-thirds of the in
land country. If the determination
of Spain to put down the Instruction
seems to strengthen with the lapse of
time, as is evidenced by her unhesi-
tating devotion of largely increased
military and naval forces to the task.
there is much reason to believe that
the insurgents have gained in numbers
and character and resources. and are
none the less infleNible in their resolve
not to succumb, without practically
securing the great object for which
they took up arms. Ii Spain has not
yet re-established her authority.
neither have the insurgents vet made
good their title to be regarded as an
independent state aud nothing in the
way of recognition is possible under
the law of nations. He recalls that
the people of the United States have
shown wonderful patience, despite the
fact that they have much at stake and
are nearly as greatly interested inan-
cially as Spain herself. He announces
that a proposition has been made the
Madrid government seeking to affect a
settlement and that no reply has been
received. Conditions may yet arise
which will compel the government of
this country to interfere in the inter-
est of humanity. He says that the
suggestion that the United States buy
Cuba is worth considering and also
suggests home rule for Cuba.
The Venezuelan affair is declared
settled satisfactorily as far as this
country is concerned, the respective
governments having agreed upon the
substantial featuresof a treaty submit
ting the matter to arbitration.
The consular service is briefly
treated, the president favoring exam
ations Of applicants as to their fitness.
Progress is reported OH the Behrins

that some action will be taken to pro
tect the herd.

THE SACRED MANGER.

VAST CROWDS OF PILGRIMS
AS the Yule Time Approaches the An
cient Village Suddenly Becomes
Huge Cosmopolitan City OF
Tents-In the Church of the
Nativity.

Of all the quaint Christmas celebra-
tiCns the world over that in the holy
city of Bethlehem ranks pre-eminent.
This little village, with the normal
population of less than 5000 people,
becomes in Christmas week a great cos
mopOlitan center of fifty or sixty thou
sand devout souls, all eager to pay
homage TO the place hallowed by the
Saviour's birth.
In Bethlehem the people are brought
face to face with the wonderful scenes
which are but feebly known by book
to the res. Of the world. Here they see
the place where the three wise men Of
the cas- halted after their long journey.
Here, they worship the shrine enclosing
the nanger in which Chris was born.
They walk along the same road fol-
lowed by the, Virgin Mary in her pain
full journey to the ancient city. Build
ings and ruins are there which the
eyes Of the infant Christ rested upon !;
the tiny CITY, crescent shaped and beau
t.ful to look upon, teens with the real :
tiles which the rest of the world cele-
brates as an event, lost in the haze If
antiquity
Bethlehem is about the only thor
ougbly Christian city in the holy land.
