Let's see, did some good repub-
lican brother say something about
the silver craze dying out? In
dlanapolis, which gave Mckinley
a majority of over 5000 last fall,
last week elected a silver mayor
and sixteen out of twenty-three al
dermen with 5000 majority, indi-
eating a change of heart in over
1900 Indianapolis voters since
the ''lntegrity" of the nation was
saved by Mark Hanna. And the
"waye of prosperity" waved on!

Indians Object.

The interior department recently
granted permission for cattlemen to
drive range cattle across the Rose
bud and Pine Ridge Indian serva
tions under certin conditions, but
now the Indians kick, as the follow
ing Washington dispatch will show.
The Indian Office has run up
against a snag in the matter of Sc
curing from the Sioux Indians the
permits for cattle trails across the
reservation. 1t was believed that
arrangements had been perfected
whereby the consent of the Indians
could be secured to the establish
ment of q trail by the payment of
so much per head, and to this end
agents were instructed to consult
with the Indians and to secure from
them, if possible, an agreement
which would permit this to be done.
Major Clapp, acting agent at Pine
Ridge, has te:egraphed the depart
ment that the Indians at the agency
had absolutely refused to permit a
cattle contractor named I. M. Hum
phrey, who is a citizen of South
Dakota, to drive a bunch of cattle
across the reservation to Rosebud.
This is taken as an indication that
all efforts to secure a trail have
proven futile. It is possible that
some plan may be perfected by
which the difficulties may be over
come. Major C]app has permission
to come to Washington, and is ex-
pected there this week, when he will
explain fully what the trouble is.

Wilson is certainly a phenome-
nal man. According to the papers
publishing his biography he worked
steadily on an Iowa farm, took a
SIX years college course in two
years, and did the whole thing up
at the same time. Give Wilson
the biscuit. MCGEE never took a
SIX years course in two years and
worked on a farm at the same time.
The belt is Wilson's.

NO POLITICS IN THIS CAM
PAIGN.

FAltNs
1t is amusing to see with what
accord the republican papers of
this circuit keep harping that there
is no politics in this judicial cam
paign, and the way in which the
smooth-tongued Wilson converses
on this subject to the private voter
would force a grin from the face of
an Egyptian mummy.
1t is a fact that railroad tool Will
son, through the influence of the
Elkhorn railroad, was nominated
by a regularly called republican
convention and is running as a re-
publican candidate, but is in reali-
ty A RAILROAD CANDIDATE.
Who are MI. Wilson's hackers,
managers and confidential advisers
here in Pennington county? Charles
]. Buell., James Haley and James
w. Fowler, the acknowledged re-
publican leaders and the men who
have controlled the republican pol
ltics of this county for the past ten
years and who, from present indi-
cations, intend to continue doing
SO. They are making the fight of
their lives for the railroad tool,
using the party lash in a quiet but
vigorous way, in attempt to get all
republicans lined up, at the same
time insinuating all sorts of politi-
cal humiliation to those republi-
cans who refuse to eat crow.
The same leaders are no doubt
anxious to see non-partisan politics
win, for they have passed the word
among their friends the necessity
of Wilson's election at all hazards,
which event will be considered a
great republican victory and give
them such a prestige that they will
be able to carry their tickets in the
three counties next fall, get control
OF the legislature and if they cannot
get c. j. Buell. or some other men,
Der of the ring for congress they
will land him in the United States
senate.
Oh, no! AS an old fashioned re-
publican Of the approved brand re-
marked, there's no politics in this!
The protest is too Aimsy and THE
Union knows a score of leading re
publicans who would be glad to
help the republican party, but de-
cline to obey the party lash just to

"a CASE IN COURT"

several years, and had tried a case
or two in ccurt.-H S. Star.

clique OF SIX or eight disciples of
Irrational honor Pennington
county's treasury suffered severely
as a consequence of the
steals made by the clique and one
or Two of the ring were railway at
torneys just like the republican
candidate for circuit Judge. One of
the coolest steals was made on the
county printing from year to year..
Finally the taxpayers of Penning-
ton county got stirred up and some
of them turned pop. After awhile
enough of them turned to elect a
commissioner or two. and then the
fight to protect the county treasury
from these disciples of ':national
honor" commenced. The wild
eyed pops on the county board
kicked over the traces and refused
to enter into contract with the
party who had fatted off the print
ing contract, especially when there
were other lower responsible bid
ders. The case was taken before
the republican circuit Judge. Nc
Gee handled the case for the coun-
ty board. This republican circuit
Judge, with something in the line
OF a flourish of trumpets or a circus
street parade, ordered the pops on
the board to enter into contract
with the same old party for the fur
nishing of the county stationery
and blank books. But this pop
board was full of fight and refused
to obey the order. Then the plucky
pop chairman was thrown into Jail
on the order of this republican
circuit Judge. MCGEE carried
the case to the supreme court, won
the case, enabled the commissioners
board to protect the treasury of
remington county, and this re-
publican Judge received a scoring
from the supreme court that he
hasn't forgotten yet. This is one

fore the senate.

Washington, December 2i.-Today's cab
TO discussion of the operation OF the
civil service law. The resolution adopted
by the senate last Friday calling upon tho
executive heads OF the several depart
lnents OF the government for Information
concerning the application of the civil
service law to their departments and for
an expression of their opinions as to what.
II any. notifications ought to be made in
it, was the subject directly under dis
cusslon. All the members of the cabinet
We're present except Secretary Alger, and
there was no dissent from the proposition
that the civil service law ought to DC and
would be held up. The principle OF the
System, in tho opinion of ALL must be
maintain ed, but there was some difference
oi opinion as TO the extent of It's appl.
cation
In connection with the senate resolu-
lion IL was pointed out that in some Of
the departments, notably those OF the
state and the navy, comparatively few
changes could be made that would be an
Improvement on present conditions. In
some of the other departments excel tions
to the operation of the law in the opip-
ion of the cabinet members, ought TO be
made. Some positions they reported were
included in the blank order of President
Cleveland that might better NOT have been
included. III such cases, isolated here and
tAe.e IN several of the departments, it
would. in the judgment OF the heads OF
| these departments, be quite proper for the
president to modify Mr.. Cleveiands order
While the system was pretty thorough
ly discussed, it can be said upon the au-
thorty of three members of the cabinet
| that no definite policy was outlined be-
| yond a determination TO maintain the
principle of the civil service. No effort
| was made today 20 adept a reply TO the
senate that would embody uniform ex-
| pressions Of opinion. 1t is likely that
| each member of the cabinet will prepare
| his reply In his own way, embodying such
suggestions as he may deem proper, the
| replies to be complied into definite
scheme, TO be outlined later.

RETIRING BANK NOTES,
voluntary Retirement for the Month
Has Kcnchcd The S3.OOO. 900 Limit


Washington. December 2l-Mr Coffin.
the acting comptroller of the currency, to-
day called attention TO the fact that the
retirement of National bank notes durinv
the first twenty days OF this month reached
the sum of SS0Oo.O 600. This is sad to BIO
the first time during the last ten years
that the voluntary retirements have
reached this amount in any one munrh.
Under the National bank act the initial
States treasurer is not allowed to receive
for the retirement OF circulation more than
$4,000, 900 In any one month and hence al
deposits to retire notes during the las ten
days OF this month must be refused. This
exceptional condition, Mr.. Coffin tays. is
due TO the prevailing low rates Of inter-
est arising from superabundnncc OF
money for itgcstment, which has advanced
the price of United States bond. Mr. Coz.
fin expressed the oplnion that the XIV
should be amended in this particular. as
it interfered with The elasticity OF The cur-
rency and the natural laws OF IRA 10.
