THOUGHTS OF THE THINKERS
FIRE CRACKERS.

FIRE CRACKERS.
Why should Billy O'Brine shy at the
pop platform? Its "as innocent as
dead-in-the-graver compared with the
demolistic Chicago platform.
And why should the pops, who swal-
low their Brine at gulp, draw the
line at the Sea-wall and refuse to wade
in?
The fact is they have all been justly
suspected and, therefore, suspicious,
SO long, that they don't dare trust their
best friends.
Poor demolistic pops! Be patient
with them; they may never have been
baptized.
The Chinese Mexican ticket isn't BY
any means double standard, having
but the one and only Bryan at the
head, but it is strictly double standard
in its vices, !. 9. its vice presidents, see?
As between the .British gold" of the
Golden club, which has owned the
democratic, free-trade party almost
ever since its birth and the sBritish
gold" Of the Shylocks, which has now
bot up the republican party, what is
an American patriot to do but to "ketch
on" and grab?
II he can't do that and hasn't vet
learned that American politics is most
ly "blather," he would better run upon
the muzzle of his gun when he knows
its loaded, and have done with politics.

1MroRrASrsUpREME COURT RULING
A Decision Affecting the Real Est..e Tax
OF the City for tho Years 1919.

Decision Affecting the Real Estate Tax
OF the City for the Years 1s9l-a.
The supreme court has affirmed the
decision Of the lower court overruling
general demurrer to the PLAINTIFF q
complaint in the case Of Fred T.
Evans, and r. D. Jennings as
administrator of the estate of Frank
Callahan, deceased, versus the County
Of Fall River. The action was brought
by the plaintiffs to enjoin the issuance
Of tax deed for certain real estate sold
for taxes Of 1891 and to have the taxes
for 1891 and 1892 declared null and void,
the complaint alleging as grounds for
such relief that there was no meeting
Of the board of equalization of the
city Of Hot Springs in June of the
years 1891 or 1892 and the plaintiffs had
no opportunity to be heard. States
Attorney Anderson entered general
demurrer to the plaintiffs complaint,
which demurrer was overruled by Judge
Gardner. An appeal to the supreme
court from the ruling of Judge Gardner
was taken by the defendant but the
decision Of the lower court was affirmed,
and the case will now, doubtless, be
tried on its merits, the court having
given the defendant twenty days in
which to file an answer. The progress
of the case will be watched with much
interest by the property owners of the
city as it involves all the real estate tax
of Hot Springs for the years 1891 and
1892 G. M. Cleveland and James w.
Fowler are the attorneys for plaintiffs
and respondents in this case.

IS MONEY CHEAP OR DEAR.
A "star" Correspondent Writes 1ntere.
ingly ON the Money Question.

A "star'' Correspondent Writes Interest
ingly ON the Money Question.
One Of the principal causes of the
free silver lunacy is the confusion and
misrepresentation of the popular ex-
pressions, "cheap money" and "dear
money" In the truest sense, good
money is neither cheap nor dear, but
standard, which means that it is the
true, recognized measure of value.
Many poor people who, for lack Of time
disposition or ability, are ignorant of
the true function of money, and hear
the expressions, 'cheap money" and
''dear money" get the idea quite natur.
ally that they cannot afford to have
"dear money" for the same reason that
they cannot afford to have dear shoes
or coats or food; and thus straightway
they become ''cheap money" advocates
or free silverites. What we call "cheap
money" is really, in greater OF less
degree, fraudulent money, in that it
isn't worth what it claims to be.
Doubtless our free silver friends
would say in answer to this that "dear
money" is fraudulent in that it is worth
more than it is claimed to be; and this
statement could be sustained If
it could be proved that this
'dear money" so called, isn't standard,
that is, the recognized measure of value
in the civilized world. This is exactly
where their case breaks down and my
case is sustained. Furthermore the
stupidest person can see that silver
dollar, to be worth dollar, must be
nearly twice as large as our alleged
silver dollar is now, and that, therefore,
it isn't fit to be standard. And this is
the whole case of honest money against
dishonest money.
No honest man, whether rich or poor,
can afford to use dishonest money; and
the full proof of this is in the plain fact
that we are now, and have been for
years, suffering from the palpable dis
of our silver money, which is
worth little more than half its face. 4
think it was conspicuous bimetallist
who said, in substance, that all money
that will not stand the test of fire is
fraudulent. The meaning of this is
plain and shows us that government
notes and bank notes are not money
but simple promises to pay money, and
that our silver money depends for
nearly half its accepted value, on the
promise of the government to take it
in exchange for gold
Let us learn to call things by their
right names and say good money and
bad money instead of 'sdearmoney' and
'cheap money!" and. enaple everyone to
see that this is literally true.

HOT SPRINGS. SOUTH DAKOTA FRIDAY, JULY 81 1885,
ADvANTAGEs OF IRRIGATION.
Eben W. Martin Gives His Experience
Along This Line.

Eben w. Martin Gives His Experience
Along This Line.
So far as the subject of irrigation is
concerned my experience along that
line (irrigation) is very limited, writes
Eben w. Martin in the Whitewood
Plaindealer, and consider that your
readers are in need of facts based upon
experience, not theory. Ny only ex-
perience in irrigation is in connection
with farm at Buffalo Gap irrigated
with waters from the Beaver creek and
1 commenced operating that farm last
year. For some ten years past we have
done more or less cultivation in con-
nection with our horse farm in Custer
county, where we have no irrigating
facilities. It is now more than ever
evident that we must realize that we
live in a semi-arid country; our soils
are rich, almost beyond comparison;
but there few sections, if any, in the
Black Hills country, where we can rely
upon sufficient rain fall to insure profit
able crops. l consider, therefore, that
the only solution of these problems lies
i'll the direction ofirrigation. Ibelieve
also that sufficient water passes down
our creek channels every year to irri-
gate the arabic lands if itwere utilized.
Scarcely one tenth of the water flowing
in the water courses, is, i'll my judg-
ment, now used for irrigation, and then
there is the vast amount of rainfalltha
finds its way through the water chan
nels that is not used. Much can, doubt
less, he accomplished by system of in
expensive dams thrown across dry
channels, by which, in time of rainfall,
the water that falls instead of running
down the creek bed, shall be directed
across meadow lands and upon cult
waited fields, thus insuring good SOAK
ing to the ground in time of ordinary
rains. When there are regular water
supplies the whole stream should be
used,economically so as to irrigate from
these sources Il large an area as possible.
Now that we have ethoroughlylcarne
the lesson that we must look to irri
CATION for our success in agricultural
lines. I look for very rapid advance
ment to he made in this direction and
for the exercise of much better econ
omy in saving the waters ofour streams
and also i'll utilizing the periodical rain
falls. There is no Grm so good as a
regularly and intelligently irrigated
farm. Good soil and sunshine which
are necessary to good crops as WATER
are both at hand in abundance and
with a proper use of the water that
nature supplies for these purposes. L
confidently look for the successful
pursuit of agriculture by our people in
all OF the fertile valleys and tablelands
tributary to the Hills.
We are having good success with our
experiments with alfalfa on our irri
gated farm near Buffalo Gap. We had
one crop last year from the seed sowed
in the spring and this spring find that
we have an excellent stand which is
yielding we'll.

ance and attending in the largest num-

successful companies in the various
contests will, under the new rules, con-
sist of medals and banners instead of
cash prizes. This change, it is thought,
will tend to encourage bona fide teams
and put quietus to the meddling of

Ject to convey the correct thought to
his listeners. He said:
From the time that Jefferson
dipped his pen in the blood of manly
patriotism and wrote that wonderful
document that, with one mighty eff
fort, struck off the SheI1elS that bound
us to an American tyranny down to
the present time, history does not re-
cord an effort Of greater Importance to
the people of this country than that of
the 9th days4of...O October, 1868, that
marks the birth Of the A. O. u. W.
For, as it was out Of the convulsions
of necessity, it has attained the proud
distinction of being the emancipato
of poverty and slaves. It is the pro-
tector of the home. Home, the most
beautiful of all earthly possessions. L
realize, my friends, my inability to
picture for you a home as [ have in
my mind. And it is this home that
the A. o. U. w. loves to protect. 1t is
for the protection of our homes, my
brethren. that the A. o. U. w. exists
today.
1T is not enough for us that we
should enjoy these homes ourselves,
but it is incumbent upon us and our
duty to hand down to- posterity these
homes unimpaired. How are. we. to
do this? 1 will tell you Through the
medium of cooperation Of thoughts.
Twenty-seven-ay years ago there y was
wanting in the United States and
Canada one single home protected by
cooperation. If man protected home
and family, it was because he bought
old line insurance and paid a big
price for it. But, thanks to co-opera-
ton, thanks to the. wisdom of John
Jordan Upchurch, we stand today
boasting of the fact that there are
over 100000 homes protected. Think
of the magnitude of this great fra
ternity! Notwithstanding all it has

Think what a volume of experience

living ever treated so many cases of
female ills, and from this vast expert
ence surely it is more than possible
she has gained the very knowledge

She is glad to have you write or call

full OF sympathy, with a great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medi-

you exactly what to do for relief. She
asks nothing in return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands.
Surely, any ailing woman, rich or
