over the railroad. Railroads don't
give away money for nothing; they
expect . return for these free
passes. They are introduced as
a. indirect bride, How long will
the people continue to vote for
nothing, the way railroads pay
men to vote. Well fed politicians
of the two old parties are getting
passes now When the populist
or silver party becomes strong
enough to threaten the entrenched
special privileges of railroads
then they may expect the same
foyors to be offered to them for the
sole purpose Of corrupting and in
fuencing their actions.

PERSONAL JOURNALISM.

Personal journalism we do not
believe in-Every public man or
private citizen seeking a public
office is liable to criticism, HIS
position or candidature necessarily
invites animadversion or censure as
far rs his public acts are con-
cerned. His private life is Mis- own
and should be safe from public
comment unless his acts bring him
in contact with the law-His rec
ord IS then fair subject for jour
nalistic commendation-Generally
speaking bitter, v1ndictive, or v1ru-
lent abuse Of anyone, as regards his
private life, recoils on the authors.
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1896-04-03
A EXAMPLE,.

Our recent controversy with a
contemporary, in which a true and
tried friend Of the people was
neediessly and c~auselessly assalled
is an example Of this TRADE
they deemed it wiss to publish
only recoiled upon themselves.
In view Of their subsequent de-
predatory attitude, we will say no
more upon this head, but we trust
this will be a war ming to them.
There are few men whose public
or private records are absolutely
freee from smirch or stain. We
will never, however, assail those
who are opposed to us in princi-
pie unless they first set the ball
rolling by attacking the men whose
cause we espouse aud are advocat-
ing.
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1896-04-03
PLEASE DON'T SHOOT

In q journalistic sense, we Ger
tainlv will not, until our esteemed
contemporary, The Journal, again
gives US cause. We should always
elect rather to attack principle and
policy than men, believing
that abuse is no argument. In a
small place, vlrulence and bitter
antagonism are always q mistake,
but where a mans public life is
concerned. whenever he is a can
didate for Office we believe his
public record is lair subject, Tin a
political ffshA4 81 adverse or eulo-
CYSTIC criticism.

FACTIONS.

How illogical they are, these
Republicans. We all know that
both factions at heart are in favor
of free silver, but from motives Of
the pettiest malice and spite, one Of
them, to subdue the other, swal-
lows its secret and most cherished
convictions and compels its oppo-
nent to eat Of the same unsavory
and humillating pie. The latter,
through Its head, is forced, if not
to accept a gold standard, at least
to yield a reluctant assent to the
adoption Of the Minneapolis plat
form, which contains an economic
creed SO elastic that it has been
made to render up a different IN
depreciation for either faction.
Pettigrew's faction claims that
it could be Interpreted in favor of
free silver, while Lucas party con-
tends that it could be made to
stretch SO as to include a gold
standard, or what they call, as if in
bitter mockery, "sound money.

RISKY HEIGHTS.

The Journal gets of the follow
ing gilt ring editorial gem on a
Mrs. Tucker who was once a PROM
inent suffragist Of Kansas who not
long since fogged her husband for
becoming drunk and getting away
with So5 III monkey1ng with a jack
pot:
So far Mrs. Tucker will have the
sympathies Of all, though some
who hardly endorse her methods.
But Mrs. Tucker has a%little politi-
cal history. In 1890 she effected
an organization Of women in Otta-
wa and Clay counties that spread
all over Kansas. It was she who
first sang the inspiring song "Good
by Old Party Goodby," which
tiled the populist heart with ardor
and retired John J Ingalls, from
the y. S. senotorship. William A
PETER, the chief beneficiary for
the great campaign, publicly
thanked Mrs. Tucker for her work
IN behalf of the farmers alliance.
In a great many peoples eyes this
changes the scene. If she had
kept out Of politics she would have
been all right, but the fact that
she dabbled in political mire ex-
plains why IN the minds Of many
her poor husband was driven to
drink and the gambling table.

What 4 nauscating sight they ell
present. Let US rally our forces
and surely with united action they
will fall an easy prey TO the JUS
tice Of our cause!
LUKEWARM DEMOCRACY.

Have the democrats done anything
to save us? No. they have been
lukewarm and apathetic and it is a
known fact that they would rather
JOIN hands with the republicans
than form an alliance with the
masses. Still there are many true
friends of the people fighting I'M
der the democratic banner. But
the policy of the party has been
neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, but
has been mainly actuated by the
patriotic motive of serving the
state by condecending to accept a
monetary remuneration for public
services. An eager desire to feed
at the public crib, and a continuous
system Of compromises and bar
tering Of candidates-Is 1t too
hard to say this is one Of the lead
ing attributes Of a party that ought
to be one Of the most earnest sup
porters of the gospel Of the rights
Of labor?
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1896-04-03

This is only another instance Of
ones point Of view.
After this brilliant fight Of
thought and exhaustion Of gray
matter we advise the Journal man
to keep cracked Ice on his head in
order to ward off an attack of soft
ening Of the brain and in the fu-
ture never attempt to reach such
dizzy heights Of thonght-the
risk is to great.
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1896-04-03
RESpECTARuITY

Responsibility has weight. You
see the republicans are men OF
position in the com
munity. They have the DOLLARS
that is the best Of all. The
people on the other side are poor
and can do little for their support
ers but they have the VOTES,

state Of Dakota. rich in resources
Of every kind, stocked with mineral

yerging on bankruptcy and your

dominance of a party whose name
for this state has been synonymous
with disaster, fraud, ruin, and
misfortune? has the repub-
lican party done for this state?
They have been in power ever since

mournful story of W. w.

A ~sICKENING SPECTACLE.

-FfE
How are the mighty fallen! Is
it not a sorry sight? The erst-
while head and pseudo-dictator of
the republican party swallows his
presidential convictions and &C
cepts as his nominee the man
whom he had secretly anath-
matized. We will not say he has
acted like a whipped cur. For he
is a United States senator and we
! ave too much respect for his posi-
ton. Besides it would be unpar-
lamentary language.

A TRUCE.

@But 1T is only a temporary truce
they have patched up. Both par
ties will go together to st. Louis
as friends? Never! Apparently
united, they secretly hate each
other more than ever. Do you
think Pettigrew will ever forgive
the Illuminating slight that has
been cast upon him. No! He has
been forced to temporarily yield to
the storm. But he will bide his
time, and when that time has come,
with his discretion sharpened by
bitter experience, let his foes be-
warel He is in the senate and
will be there for five years yet.
There will be music in the air be-
fore that period has passed away

AGAINST FREE COINAGE.

IH%s SNAW6ObOO W ~ 4ORAAAO
convention which was held at HUI
ron on the 25th was against the
free coinage Of silver and SO de-
clared in their resolutions. Many
speakers in the hall bitterly de-
nounced it as disreputable, diehon-
est and populistic. How do you
like it free-silver republicans?
Do you believe this is the senti-
ment of your party in this state or
d3. you believe it is thebelief of a
few designing men, who work con-
ventions in every state? Look
at your own convention in this
county where a little committee
appointed the delegates and.select-
ed gold men (rather those who
agreed to vote for that side of the
question)when three-fourths Of the.
men in the convention were silver
men. We notice from the press
that the same complaint comes
from almost every county where
there was not a free discussion and
open fight: and where such discus
sions was had, and the beliefs OF
each delegate was we'll known.
The free silver men won the fight,
two to one. What are you going
to do ahoutlt? Are you going to
wrap your cloak Of party prejudice
about you and sneak to the poles
like a thief in the dark and vote
fora system which is day by day
contracting our currency, appreci-
ating the dollar and increasing
your debts while the value Of your
products drop lower and lower each
day thus spreading bank
ruptcy and ruin all over
the land? II you believe in the
free coinage of silver, then come
out like true American citizens
who are worthy the right of suf-
frage and join in one great, grand,
and universal revolt at the most gi-
gantic scheme of plumber and theft
ever known to civilization. A man
who can see the evil consequences
growing out Of this gold standard
scheme and will not lay aside his
sinking party prejudice under
such circumstances ought not to
be allowed to vote. Politicians are
office seekers and all office seek
ers are towards when 1t comes to
expressing their views on ques-
tons on which their party is divi-
ded, hence the attitude of the lead
ers in the two old parties on this
subject. just glance over the
opinions Of politicians and not one
of them has courage to say he is
in favor Of gold alone, they all
attach a "but" or eff" to it which
the gold shark knows to mean mon
%ometalism pure and simple. Why
do they do this? For the plain
simple reason that the fraud is toe
glaring and this is resorted to fol
the sole and only purpose Of de.
celving the voter and making him
believe that there is nothing which
makes the free coinage of silver
impossible and just rs soon as this
obstacle is removed silver will be
all right and this right in the face
Of one hundred years Of actual ex-
perience of bi-metalism in this
country. In this campaign voter,
whenever you vote for any party
or man who declares for anything
other than the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver l6 to l, you vote
to fasten the gold standard upon
us with no prospect of ever remov-
ing this curse from the country

WOMAN AND THE WHEEL.

7 T you are a woman it is your
bounden duty to call down bless
= ings upon the head of him who first
made a wheel which a woman could
ride. 1t was a great day-a white day
for the sex and the race when woman
mastered the graceful art of riding; for
by the wheel she has reached many
things most desirable. From the max
ers and sellers Of wheels, comes the
good news that the output Of wheels
for women this year will be not only
greatly in excess Of any past year, but
more wheels for women will be made
than for men. The news is good news,
because of it's cheering significance. 1t
means that many women will be more
in the open air and sunshine than ever
before in their lives; it means that
their fiabby muscles will grow firm and
strong, their eyes bright and quick,
that their cheeks will lose their sickly
cast, and will glow with life-in short,
that the thousands Of women who ride
will become healthy creatures in mind
and body. And every Improvement
thus made in personal health, means a
corresponding gain in public health, so
that we are all better for every wheel

Where Men Turn to Stone.

every one has heard OF the petrified
forest of Arizona said a Tombstone
citizen, ''but few people are aware that
there are springs in the Territory where
almost any object can be petrifed
Frogs, snakes, lizards and other reptiles
have ventured into some of these
springs and turned to stone. Leaves,
twigs and branches of trees have un-
dergone the same process. But the most
remarkable instance is that of a cattle
man who has the same name as my
self, although no relation. He was in
the habit of standing in one Of these
springs and bathing. He did this foI
some time, when he began to feel Pc
culia7 pains in his feet and ankles, and
he stopped, but the pains continued,
followed by a numbness that never left
them. He lost all control of the muscles
of that part of his body, and it was but
a few weeks until he realized that his
feet had become petrifed, and for the
past year he has been unable to walk.
The rest Of his body was somewhat af-
fected, but not so much so, as the water
lad not submerged him."
