ers of the Des Moines district have
passed resolutions expressing sympathy
with the movement for better wages
for miners and stating q willingness to
assist in movements for better condi-
tions. No delegates were selected for

A Horse on the Pops.

Seventeen state senators and twenty
seven representatives of tie late lamen-
ted legislature, and all of the purest of
the reform party, have considered it
necessary to repudiate Senator Kyle and
have him read out of the populist party,
in card published in nearly all the
Pop papers. 1t looks like locking the
stable door after their most, valuable
horse has been stolen, and saying that
the miserable old horse was no good
any way, and they are glad he was
stolen. Tbs Miner is not saying that
the party now in possession of the stolen
property has acquired thoroughbred
by any means, but all tine same he was
the best horse in the pop stable, and the
party Was afoot and in need of horse
and, don't you know, it was horse on
the pops. keystone Miner.

The Prevailing Practice.


Our attention was called. during a
visit to the southern Hills Last week, TO
a letter bearing the signature Of one Of
Deadwood's supposed prominent men,
says the Deadwood Mining Review, and
the contents are such that il conveyed
to the party to whom it was sent in the
east, the impression that south Of the
Lawrence county line there were no
auriferous or argentiferous ore deposits
that would pay the expenses to invssti-
gate, and the particular mine the gentle
man in the east desired to be informed
about, the Deadwood party condemned
absolutely. The would-be purchaser in
the east, who received this communica-
ton, forwarded the letter from this
prominent (?) mining man Of Deadwood,
accompanied be a letter Of his own,
declining further negotiation for the
property. The man who is in posses
sion Of the Deadwood letter asserts
positively that the party who wrote it
was never near the ground, but still be
b the bold assumption TO write. in
which he warned the prospective buyer
to let it absolutely alone, as il Vas of no
value whatever. The facts are not be-
lieved nowadays until investigations
have proven them, and if the eastern
party had been posted in the business
he would have paid no attention to the
letter, but came out and looked up the
situation personally. However. this
does not excuse the man from Dead
wood for his motives were bad in con-
ception, with no intention to deal out
justice to the locality mentioned.

No Bonds Required.

Fortunate indeed it is that all popul-
lists are honest; no settlement could be
made with State Treasurer Phillips until
the cash had been laid down before the
astute governor, and the argus eyed
committee of the legislature this farce
set the nation laughing but was not so
much wrong in principle as it was
ridiculous in execution; it is gratifying
to know that the members of the party
now in power can be implicitly trusted
this is evidenced by the fact that the
plunder measure known as the insur.
ance commissioner law makes no pro.
vision for the head of that department
giving bonds; he collects twenty-five to
thirty thousand dollars per year and
will be expected to turn it over to the
state. If he don't turn it over the gov
ernor can't count it, but will know it is
in the hands of an honest populist who
don't need to give any bonds. (?)--

Gold Lace and Red Tape.

The state militia is to be amply pro-
yided for, the sum of five thousand
dollars having been appropriated, this
does not go, as some might suppose, to
benefit the rank and file of the national
guard it is not to be used to pay rent
Of armories or to defray the expense oi
sncampments; it goes to pay the salary
Of the Adjutant General and the ex.
penses of his Office. Mayhap when the
governor wants to quell a riot or count
the state cash, he will be supported, not
by the loyal and courageous men who
constitute our citizen soldiery. but will
have instead an Adjrtant General. re-
splendant with $500 worth of brass
buttons, gold lace and red tape he will
doubtless carry a banner on which will
be inscribed Il am representative of
the business administration. -Conk-

Montana Legislative Breaks

II was Montana legislator. says the
Bozeman Courier, who, when some cor.
rsctions in spelling and grammar on
his bill were called to his attention by
the committee said: "Why, you fellows
haye mucilated itv'
1t was the same statesman who said,
in addressing committee of which he
was member: "The muddy slough of
politics was the boulder upon which the
law was split in twain and fell in a thous-
and pieces from the pedro Of justice.
let Us, then. gear up our lions. that we
can go forth with clear head"
Upon addressing the chair, this same
orator delivered himself as follows: 1
feel that for plain man like myself to
address q body composed of 80 many
law attorneys as this is, is indeed casting
pearls before swine or, in other words,
to make my meaning palmer, the honor
that feel at the present time overcomes
me as Goliah was overcome, when, like
David. l come before you armed with
only the-the-or, as the good book says,
let US not ride a hobby in this legis-
lature, lest it turn upon us as did
Balsam's ass, and, in a loud voice, pro-

"Ah see," said the good man who
was arguing with legislator regarding
initiative and referendum. You cannot
bissct or dissect the woof Of carpipg
misanthropy from the web Of immedic-
able pessimism. You are a polemic--"
"You're liar ~ interrupted the legis-
lator, I'm populist."
Some of the legislators are being
criticised for leaving their families at
home. We see nothing wrong in this.
Some one must stay at home to milk the
COW with the brindls tail. split the
kindling, shovel snow. feed the chickens
and carry slop to the pigs. Who can do
this better than the good housewife? {?

Soon Satisfied.

The "long felt want" which Dan Scott
and his son Mark so soon and effectually
satisfied, is thus feelingly referred to by
the Deadwood Pioneer:
"The Deadwood Daily Journal. the
only Black Hills newspaper taking the
Associated Press journal for the ben

scription list than that Of all the others
combined is only memory. II was
established to fill long felt want, and
accomplished its mission in just thirty
days. and ceased to exist. 1t was born
March 2, 1897, and died April |, of the
same year. Dan Scott and his son Mark,
Of Sioux Falls, who had q number of
newspaper failures to their credit,
started the Journal with flourish and
promise ofgreat things. They overes-
timated their abilities and the field.
Had they been less boastful and arrogant
they would have some sympathy in
their hour of misfortune. They i'm.

learned they sunk 81, 700 in the venture
and left unpaid bills, including some Of
the printers. They mortgaged the plant
