Stock Feoding.


A large number of cattle are being
bought all through this section this
fall for the purpose of feeding for mar
ket. Herds of SO to 800 feeders are
driven through the city almost every
day from the Sioux City stock yards to
the farms in this and adjoining coun-
ties. The prices paid for feeders seem
high when compared with the present
price of dressed beef, but it should be
borne in mind that there has been no
such relative advance In the price Of
beef over last year as there has been in
the prices of grain. We believe there
is good money in feeding this winter,
and would ADVISE farmers who are fixed
SO that they can thus handle stock to
good advantage to at once undertake
it.. The following farmers, who do bus.
mess at Elk Point, have recently
bought and are now fattening, about

The United States Supreme Court
has been and still is bitterly denounced
by the average pop as an arbitrary and
aristocratic arrangement. This in
utter ignorance of the fact that this
court 10 just % completely the creation
of the people AZ 10 the executive or
representative branches Of our govern
ment. Justice Field has just retired
from the supreme bench after the
longest term ever held in its history,
and presumably ought to know some
thing Of it's nature and work. This Is
what he has to say:
Az look back over the more than a
third Of . century that have sat on
the bench, am more and more i'm
pressed with the Unreasonable Inn
portance Of this court. Now and then
we hear it spoken Of az an aristocratic
feature Of republican government,
but 1t lie the most democratic of all. 1t
has indeed no power to legislate. 1t
cannot appropriate dollar. 1t carries
neither purse nor sword. But IL
possesses the power OF declaring law,
and in that IL found the safeguard
which keeps the whole fabric of gov
eminent from rushing to destruction.

The Henry Independent has been made
an object Of ridicule lately by several
republican papers for not hearing the
news about the shortage in the auditor
Office. The editor published the fol-
lowing last week as an extenuating
circumstance. Well excuse you this
time, "Hop," but please do not let il
happen again:
If this paper has not been exactly up
to date for the past two or three issues
we feel sure that generous press and
public will pardon discrepancies when
they learn that gracious providence
has recently sweetened our humble
abode by giving to our care and keeping
u new twelve-pound girl baby. Our
time has been quite severely taxed and
our attention considerably diverted
from our work. Twelve pound girl
babies don't visit US every day. She's
a whopper.

The republicans believe in prosecut-
ing thief because he lie a thief, and
not because he is populist or re-
publican. Because the populist treas
urer of Franklin township, Jerauld
county, ran away short in his accounts,
does any one charge the populist party
OF the crime? Does the fact that this
defaulting pop treasurer loaned part
Of the money to a candidate on the
populist state ticket, make all OF the
populists Of the state party to the
crime? The same argument applies to
the present middle at Pierre. If any
one has been negligent or criminal the
matter Is purely Individual. Until a
party endorses q crime or = criminal,
it is not responsible for his short
c0mings. Hoonsocket Times.
