The Prevailing Practice,

Our attention was called, during a
visit to the southern Hills lant week, to
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 argent'f ferrous ore deposits
that would pay the expenses to investi-
gate, and the particular mine the gentle
man in the east desired to be Informed
about, the Deadwood party condemned
absolutely. The wouldbe purchaser in
the east, who received this communica-
tion, forwarded the letter from this
prominent (?) mining man Of Deadwood,
accompanied be 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 he
h d the bold assumption to write, in
which he warned the prospective buyer
to let it absolutely alone, as it 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

A. Horse on the POPS.

Seventeen state senators and twenty.
seven representatives the 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 thorough bred
by any means, but all the 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 OH
the pops. keystone Miner.

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
eft of the people, having a larger sub
scription list than that Of all the others
combined is only memory. 1t 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

when the country was already full of

paper at Sioux Falls and then mort

Gold Lace and Rcd 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 def.ay the expense of
encampments; it goes to pay the salary
OF the Adjutant General and the ex.
penses Of his office. Mayhap when the
governor wants to quell 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 banner on which VII
be inscribed 81 am g representative Of
the business admin tration. ."-Conk-

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 VAS
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. o.

The Plowman-Moore sensation in
Deadwood promises to develop some
thing interesting before the end is
reached. Mr.. Moore claims that Judge
Plowman has decided to punish him
because he fought the judge at Pierre
and makes the sensational declaration
that Judge Plowman said at Pierre that
he would debar "such attorneys as he"
Mr.. Moore had made an affidavit for a
change Of venue on the usual grounds
and Judge Plowman laid the matter
before the grand jury suggesting that
Attorney Moore was guilty of suborna-
ton of perjury. Mr.. Moore says he
was denied the right to see copy of
the charge to the grand jury under or
ders Of the court He says he was also
refused the right to see his clients who
are in Jail. This refusal was also under
instructions from the court Just to
keep the ball rolling Mr.. Moore has be-
gun suit for $4,000 damages against
Judge Plowman. Plowman and Moore
are populists and of course by virtue of
party aGiliation are "reformers." Argus

Phoebe Recants.

Phoebe Cousins, the great advocate Of
female, suffrage who was recently
brought back from California OF an in
valid chair to her home in st. Louis,
where she is now racked with her old
malady, rheumatism, has abandoned the
female suffragists to whose welfare she
has devoted life time.
Replying to a question asked by o
visitor few days ago as to what pro-
gress women suffrage was making, she
said:
Three times have seen them under
fire. and as many times | have seen
them fall, and that ignominiously. /
presume this will be looked upon as
treason, but the conclusion is reached
from long experience, close observation
and rare opportunities. such as have
been accorded to few women. More

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 it !"
1t was the same statesman who said,
in addressing committee of which he
was member: "rhe muddy slough of
politics was the boulder upon which the
law was split in twain and fell in 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: l
feel that for plain man like myself to
address body composed of so 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, come before you armed with
only the-the-or, as the good book says,
let us not ride hobby in this legs-
lature, lest it turn upon us as did
Balaam's ass, and, in loud voice, pro-
claim, 4 am he.'"
"Ah see," said the good man who
was arguing with a legislator regarding
initiative and referendum. You cannot
bisect or dissect the woof of carplng
misanthropy from the web of immedic-
able pessimism. You are a polemic-"
you're liar p 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 brindle tail, split the
kindling, shovel snow, feed the chickens
and carry slop to the pigs. Who can do
this better than the good housewife?
Hired help is at all times erratic and
more especially during the dancing sea-
son. Because a man is forced to go to the
legislature to manage the affairs of
state, play niger billiards, eat hotel
grub and give the ranch the high sign,
is it required that the wife be wrested
from the farm? No; q thousand times
no,
