1t is surprising at this late day in
this educational campaign to find some
people who have not learned that silver
dollars are as fully and completely
a legal tender for all debts as gold.
But that is true, and we challenge any
body to attempt to prove otherwise.
Aud equally absurd are the statements
made by many to the effect that the re-
publican party proposes to do away
with silver entirely and have no more
Of it. 1t seems foolish to notice any
such ridiculous notions, but some peo-
pie have them just the same. There
are at this very time beingcoined silver
dollars at the rate of million and a
half Il month, and this will be con
tinued until the seignorage is used up
when provisions will be made for con.
tinued coinage of all chat this country
can keep as good as gold, and the re-
publican party has always coined and
kept more silver in circulation eacl
year since 1873 than was coined ant
circulated all together prior to lS77::
when we had free coinage.

Reports from the other side of the
Missouri are to the effect that Capt.
Lucas stands we'll at the head to be
elected United States senator 10y the
legislature this winter. The Hills
country is entitled to senator, and in
asmuch as the old soldier element feels
that it is entitled to one of the four
congressional representatives, no one
could be selected from this side of the
river who would better serve them and
the state. With republican legisla-
ture, and with good republican mem
bership in the legislature from the

Four years ago L. III. Wells was pop
candidate for clerk of the court, aud
got left at tho election. Immediately
thereafter he declared himself repub-
lican. Two years ago he wrote letter
from Missouri to the STAR urging every
body to vote for the republican nomi-
nees for the legislature, and some other
republican nominees. Later on he be-
gan to fiirt little more boldly with
the republican party, taking part in
the primaries and county and state
conventions, and holds an appoint
mcnt at this time from Gov. Sheldon
as republican. He was Mckinley
republican after Bryan was nominated
and he declared since his dcmopor
nomination that he was still Il republi
can, while with some he is very rank
anti-rcpublican. Yet with all these
traits and tickle frailties he asks voters
to support him for the sake of "princi
pie" Is there any principle in sucl
actions?

A $4,000 CAMPAIGN LIE.

Campaign lies have surely been set
afloat in earnest now. Several days
ago the pops up i'll Pennington county
accused the republican county central
committee with receiving s2,5OO from
the National committee as sort of a
corruption fund.-" but that lie was
soon nailed. And now the story flies
about Hot Springs and over Fall River
county that the republican county cen
tral committee of this county gets
twice as much as the Pennington
county committee was accused of get
ting, or in other words that $1,000 had
been placed here to carry this county
with. Think of it! 5000! About 81
for every voter in the county. Who
is foolish enough to believe any such
outlandish fabrication as that. The
STAR editor happensto be the secretary
aud treasurer of the county central
committee, and knowing how easy il is
for some people to take up with such
stories we desire to brand the report
as false in every particular. While it
is perhaps of no particular interest to
the public we desire to show the des-
perate methods to which the demopops
are resortingin telling such scandalous
falsehoods by stating that as is custom
airy the Fall River county republican
central committee has received it's pro-
portion which is small indeed-of the
general state legitimate fund. such as
every political party always must have.
And we regret to say, too. that the
bank account of the committee treas
urer was uverdrawn before the barbecue
bills were all paid and the county can
didates had to be urged to liquidate
their assessments to help out
The treasurer's book; will show tina!
the county candidates are paying fol
far the larger part of the campaign
that is being made by the republican
assessments are not exorbitant either
Ii there should be any one who doub
our word in the matter they might be
l;cve an affidavit corroborating til,
, statements herein contained. which We
feel free to make. If this does MOI
sufficiently brand the $1,000 ''corrup
tion fund" story asan unmitigated ant
outlandish falschood we do not know
how to satisfy those who would manu-
facture such campaign lies.
We want the honest, intelligen
voters of Fall River county to observe
the desperation to which the demopop
have already been driven and to watcl
, out for further and possibly evel
{ greater fabrications. They have started
, in to tell almost anything to prejudic
! the unwary voter. Beware Of them and

THOUGHTS OF THE THINKERS
SILVER AND SOUTH DAKOTA LAM

SILVER AND SOUTH DAKOTA LAND.
1t seems pitiful that our South Da-
kota silver orators are driven to the en-
tremity of defaming their state by try.
ing to make believe that South Dakota
farmers are trying, by every possible
s,lbterfuge, to give away their lands.
This is said with reference to Mr..
Temples story of the Missouri farmer
who lost $1,000 in three years farming
in South Dakota and gave away his
land in order to go back to Missouri
unincumbered
Appropos of this story, 1 have been
trying, for over twenty years, to sell
two hundred acres of land in southern
Missouri and only succeeded, this last
summer. i'll selling it on long time and
at IL very low rate of interest, for s'':2s.5t
per acre. Aud this is known to b.
good, productive l2lld without iiriga
f!ion. and it has not. in the leus! degree
